Then, a stern look flashed in Qi Chuan's eyes, and he continued, "Especially Lin Zhiyi. She has always harbored ill intentions towards the princess. She's like a ticking time bomb, threatening her at any moment. So, why don't we take the initiative and eliminate her before she makes a move? With Lin Zhiyi dead, all potential dangers will be resolved."

After hearing this, Zhao Qiyan shook his head slightly and rejected Qi Chuan's proposal.

He explained with a serious expression, "The current situation is unclear, and many things are still unclear. Lin Zhiyi still has value, so now is not the time to take her life. However, you can temporarily place her under house arrest and restrict her freedom, preventing her from contacting the outside world, and not allowing her to get close to the princess."

On the other side, Lin Zhiyi carefully carried the exquisite soup bowl and walked lightly back to her own yard.

After entering the house, she gently placed the soup bowl on the exquisitely carved mahogany table.

Then, she stretched out her delicate hands and slowly lifted the lid of the soup bowl. Suddenly, a rich aroma filled the air, making one's mouth water.

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips slightly, blew away the hot air gently, and then tasted the delicious soup in small sips.

Seeing this, the maid Liu'er standing by hurriedly picked up a spoon to help serve soup to her young lady.

However, Liu'er was filled with doubts and confusion, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, you spent so much time and effort to make this soup, but the prince and princess didn't appreciate it at all and refused to even taste it. Why aren't you angry at all? I feel so angry just watching this!"

Hearing Liu'er's words, Lin Zhiyi just smiled slightly. That smile was as beautiful as a blooming spring flower, but there seemed to be a hint of imperceptible bitterness hidden in it.

She said softly, "My sister is pregnant now. This is a great joy. I am so happy that I can't wait to be angry about such a small thing."

Liu'er was obviously not satisfied with this answer. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly saw that Lin Zhiyi still had a faint smile on his lips, but there was a bone-chilling chill deep in his eyes.

At the same time, Lin Zhiyi stared at Liu'er with a warning look, as if warning her not to say any more, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble from hearing ears.

Liu'er instantly understood what the young lady meant, her heart tightened, and she quickly shut her mouth and stopped talking.

After a while, as if she had thought of something, she glanced at Lin Zhiyi cautiously, then smiled and suggested, "Miss, you've been staying in this house all day, and it's inevitable that you'll feel bored. Why don't we go out for a walk tomorrow to relax and get some fresh air."

Ever since Yun Shang learned that she was pregnant, she rarely stepped out of the mansion, and she also rarely personally participated in handling the many affairs of the Time Traveler Management Office.

On this day, the afternoon sun gently shone into the courtyard, not as hot and strong as in summer.

Yun Shang sat quietly by the window, basking in the warm sunshine, while learning the skills of cutting clothes from Qinghuan beside her.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the yard, breaking the silence.

Yun Shang couldn't help but frown slightly and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Seeing this, Qinghuan on the side quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Miss, just sit here and relax. I will go and check what happened." After that, she walked quickly towards the gate of the courtyard.

Not long after, Qinghuan hurried back into the house.

She looked solemn, as if she had encountered something difficult. Coming up to Yun Shang, Qing Huan lowered her voice and reported, "Miss, it's Lin Zhiyi who's causing trouble outside."

Yun Shang was puzzled when she heard this, and thought to herself, "Hasn't Lin Zhiyi been under house arrest in the mansion? Why would he suddenly come here to cause trouble for me today? It's really puzzling."

Then she asked, "Do you know why she came here?"

Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to tell the truth: "Miss, according to Lin Zhiyi, Lord Zhuo Fang was found to have been secretly colluding with 073 and had passed on many confidential information about the Prince's Palace. It is for this reason that the Prince went to the government office today, intending to execute Lord Zhuo."

"She said, please go to the government office to save Master Zhuo..."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Shang, who was originally leaning lazily on the couch, suddenly stood up as if she had been electrocuted, with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Zhuo Fang? How could he? 073 thought he was dead, how could he be in contact again?" Yun Shang widened her eyes and muttered to herself in disbelief.

Seeing this, Qing Huan, who was standing by, shook her head slightly and replied with a bewildered look on her face: "I don't know about this."

Qinghuan didn't know that she was a time traveler. At this moment, facing this sudden news, she knew that she must not show too much concern, otherwise once her identity was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, deep down in my heart, huge waves had already begun to stir.

Why did Lin Zhiyi come and beg her to save people?

Logically speaking, if Lin Zhiyi wanted to save Zhuo Fang, she should go find Yu Ruyi!

After all, Yu Ruyi and Zhuo Fang have a close relationship.

Thinking of this, Yun Shang couldn't help but feel a lot of doubts in her heart, like a tangled mess that was difficult to sort out.

But no matter what, since this matter concerns the life and death of Zhuo Fang and even involves Zhao Qiyan, she cannot sit idly by and must get to the bottom of the whole matter.

So, Yun Shang took a deep breath and slowly walked down from the couch.

Seeing this, Qinghuan quickly picked up a thick cloak and carefully put it on Yunshang, saying with concern, "Miss, the wind is strong outside, you must be careful. When you go out later, don't get too close to Concubine Lin. That woman definitely has bad intentions. You are pregnant now, your body is precious, no matter how cautious you are, it is not too much."

Yun Shang nodded, "Yeah, I know."

Although the sun is high in the sky today and its rays bring some warmth, when you step out of the door and go outside, the biting cold still surges like a tide.

In Yunchang's bedroom, the floor dragon was lit early, and the blazing flames made the whole room as warm as spring.

Indoors and outdoors are two completely different worlds.
