The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment before answering her question: "To be honest, Miss, there have always been people from our building in the East Palace."

"Oh? What kind of person is he? How good are his skills?"

Li Shu was very surprised.

That’s the East Palace!

Has she ever heard Fei'er say that the emperor has sent nearly a hundred secret guards to the prince, spread across every corner of the East Palace!

That's why she had specifically instructed Lin Yuan to hand the letter to the prince when he was alone, so that the emperor wouldn't know what she wrote in the letter!

Because the emperor currently trusts the person mentioned in her letter very much!

If the emperor knew the contents of the letter, it would not only alert the enemy and cause Kong Sanniang and many innocent people to die prematurely, but it would also likely bring disaster to the prince!

However, before that, she had only considered that emperors since ancient times were all suspicious, and no matter how much the current emperor trusted and valued the prince, he might not be able to escape that fate. Now that she knew that the prince would be deposed in the future, she couldn't help but feel fortunate for her previous caution!

"I'm not entirely sure what kind of person he is or what his abilities are. Sanniang only told me where in the capital our people are and how to contact them when necessary. However, based on my understanding of Sanniang, I know that the person she placed in the Eastern Palace must be no ordinary person. Young lady, you can just give the order directly. If the people inside the Eastern Palace can't carry it out after I pass it on, I'll report it to you, and then I'll try to place someone else there to complete your order."

"Well, I need someone to stay by the Crown Princess's side to ensure her safety. If possible, I'd also like to know the details of everyone around her. Also... I want to know if the Crown Prince has made any moves after reading the letter I asked you to deliver. Of course, I know this won't be easy, so there's no need to force yourself. Just do your best."

"Yes, I will go back to the building and have someone convey it to the East Palace."

"..."

Li Shu nodded and sighed softly after Lin Yuan left through the back window.

Nanny Gui immediately dismissed the others and asked her softly, "Young lady, your relationship with the Crown Princess wasn't particularly harmonious in the past. Now that you've specially sent someone to the Eastern Palace to protect her, have you ever dreamed of something bad happening to her?"

Li Shu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't tell her.

Because even if she told Aunt Gui, she wouldn't be able to help her at all, it would only make Aunt Gui feel more distressed and worried about her.

Although she might feel a little relieved if she talked to Aunt Gui briefly.

At this time, over at Tongxin Garden, Li Shen and Li Xing, who had come to Dingbei Marquis' Mansion and went to Zhuyuan first but failed to see Li Shu, finally waited for Xie Yu to wake up.

When they were led into Xie Yu's room by Liu Xin, Xie Yu was sitting on the bed with red and swollen eyes. He choked up and called them "Third Brother Li, Fourth Brother Li" and then lowered his eyes as if he was about to cry.

Li Shen saw this and walked over to her bedside and said, "Ning Jin has treated you better than Xiao Shu in the past two years. We are not surprised that you fell in love with him, and we don't blame you at all. So, Yu'er, you don't have to feel ashamed to face us!"

After hearing this, Xie Yu looked up at him.

Tears were already hanging on her long eyelashes.

It looks so pitiful.

"Thank you, Third Brother Li. I thought you would hate me or even call me ungrateful after you found out I liked Big Brother Ning. After all, my sister-in-law is so good to me, but I..."

At the end of the words, Xie Yu's tears rolled down one after another, and her small face, which was the size of a palm, was full of self-blame and regret.

Li Shen took out a brand new towel and hurriedly wiped her tears before saying, "If Xiaoshu really treated you with sincerity, instead of being nice to you in front of others but often making things difficult for you behind their backs, I might still be a little bothered by the fact that you fell in love with Ning Jin, but she..."

"Brother Li! I've said it many times, my sister-in-law has never bullied me!"

"Okay, okay, okay, just pretend she's never bullied you or made things difficult for you! Don't worry! Your body can't afford to be rushed! But I want to ask, what are you going to do from now on?"

"I don't know what to do. Reason tells me that I should let go of my feelings for Brother Ning immediately, but I can't do it. The thought of completely severing my feelings for him makes me feel like I'm dying! It seems to have taken over my entire heart without me even realizing it! And when I think about liking someone else, or even marrying someone else, and never seeing Brother Ning as often as I do now, I wish I could die!"

"Bah! What are you talking about?! If you can't let go, then we won't! We'll find a way to make Ning Jin accept you!"

"..."

Xie Yu blinked, and a hint of hope instantly lit up in his eyes.

But she immediately shook her head and said, "No need, Third Brother Li. I don't want Big Brother Ning to accept me. I just want to be by his side. It's enough to see him often."

"But as a girl, you can't stay with him like this for the rest of your life, right?"

"Why not? Anyway, my life is different from other people's lives. And there's no telling when it might end suddenly."

"..."

Li Shen frowned tightly, his face full of pity and heartache.

Then he pulled Li Xing and turned to leave, "Let's go talk to Ning Jin."

He believed that as long as Ning Jin could accept Yu'er's feelings and was willing to marry her, Yu'er would definitely not be so stubborn!

Xie Yu, knowing him well, roughly guessed what he was thinking. Then, with a hint of anxiety, he called out, "Third Brother Li! Big Brother Ning has been so worried these past two days because my sister-in-law hasn't wanted to see him since the miscarriage! Please don't bother him with my affairs right now. I don't want my feelings for him to burden him!"

After hearing this, Li Shen paused slightly, but just said to her, "Don't worry, we will know how to handle it properly," and then walked out of her room.

Xie Yu hurriedly said to Liu Xin, "Go and take a look for me."

"Yes."

Liu Xin responded and chased after him, picking up her skirt.

As soon as she left, Xie Yu was the only one left in the huge room.

But the expression on her face didn't change at all.

She did not forget that Ning Jin had arranged a number of secret guards for her.

I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart that acting in affectionate scenes was so difficult! It was easier and less stressful to follow the strategy outline provided by the system and play the weak, helpless, pure and innocent Bai Lian!

Then she gritted her teeth secretly.

If it really doesn't work, she can just pounce on Ning Jin!

As long as she pounces perfectly enough, Ning Jin will definitely develop some feelings for her out of guilt and heartache!

The problem is that……

Now that Ning Jin has developed feelings for her, will it still irritate Li Shu...

and also!

The next step after the fight is that she may have to give birth to a child for Ning Jin!

It was precisely because she didn't want to have children that she had tried so hard to persuade Ning Jin and Li Shu to consummate their marriage!

I didn't expect that I couldn't escape in the end!

I don’t even know if I can get points from Li Shu by doing that!

However, she couldn't think of a better way, so she could only take it one step at a time!

But she never expected that Liu Xin would come back and tell her that the brothers Li Shen and Li Xing had fought with Ning Jin!
