Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

Lu Mingyun was silent for a moment before asking, "I heard from Fengning that my father has been to the palace privately several times. What about the Duke? Has he been to the palace again besides the time when His Majesty summoned him?"

"...Probably not," Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "If you have any questions, ask Marquis Wu'an. I think he knows a lot."

Lu Mingyun closed his eyes with a headache, "I'm afraid he won't tell me if I ask him."

Zhao Xu said helplessly, "I just hope Marquis Wu'an doesn't really believe it."

"Jingxin, didn't you tell your father about your discovery of this medicine? If your father knew that this medicine has limited efficacy, perhaps he wouldn't go in and out of the palace so frequently." Zuo Zheng said.

Lu Mingyun paused and shook his head. "He's not stupid. He'll be able to find out from His Majesty if he goes to the palace a few more times. Besides, he's not sick. He's probably praying for it for Grandmother and Lin."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

Li Mofu asked weakly, "Does anyone have any news about the Taoist priest?"

Zhao Xu shook his head, "No."

Zuo Zheng also shook his head, "Don't even think about looking for someone when you can't even leave the house."

In the end, this gathering at Wangyue Tower only added more doubts to Li Mofu. Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng didn't want to go home so soon, and after dinner they ran to their yard to play cards.

During this period, Zhao Xu revealed that the emperor wanted to find a good woman for him to be his wife. Zhao Xu did not want to get married, so he said that he wanted to marry a woman who was as beautiful as a fairy, and that the beauty in other people's eyes did not count, but the beauty must be what he thought.

Zuo Zheng laughed at her and said that she was as beautiful as a fairy, and the emperor would just find one for him.

Zhao Xu rolled his eyes and said that the emperor was just finding a marriage for him by chance. In fact, he wanted to find a concubine for the prince. Since he had just recognized the prince and had no wife, he was afraid of being gossiped about by others, so he mentioned it in passing.

Li Mofu didn't care much about this matter. While playing cards with them, he was wondering where the old man was.

However, this matter that he didn't care much about suddenly hit him hard a month later.

In mid-April, Li Mofu was nervous all day because of the strange old man. He often wondered what to do if something really happened, or what would happen if something really happened?

The two cats have grown a lot bigger and are now fluffy. They can no longer be held in the palm of your hand like when they were little. However, they can understand what Li Mofu says more and more now, and they will get angry if you scold them.

Because Li Mofu was always worried, he was always afraid of what would happen if the cat got lost one day, or what would happen if something happened to them and the cat was left in the yard?

Do they hunt? Can they tell the difference between good and evil? Do they know where to find water?

Most of the time, Li Mofu only regarded his worst thoughts as a spice of life, because the more miserable he thought, the more beautiful his current life seemed. Everything was still calm, and nothing had reached the worst point.

They had long lost contact with the strange old man, there was no more information from Zhao Xu, and Wang Ruiyan could not find out anything from her family.

Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning went home and asked Wu'an Hou. Wu'an Hou didn't say anything and got angry at them, accusing them of asking about the palace's affairs at will and told them not to pay attention to this matter anymore.

This reaction was within expectations. Marquis Wu'an seemed to have been bewitched by the emperor. He seemed to completely believe what the emperor said about this medicine being able to cure all diseases and even prolong life.

However, Lu Mingyun said that the only strange thing was that Marquis Wu'an did not take the medicine he received from the emperor himself, nor did he give it to Lin and his grandmother. He kept it.

Although Li Mofu was also surprised, he felt more that the Marquis of Wu'an might want to keep it for himself.

Because he was always paying attention to the incident with the strange old man, Li Mofu didn't notice that the spring scenery outside was so beautiful that the whole capital was filled with the fragrance of flowers. He went to Wang Ruiyan's store to eat maocai, and then met Wang Ruiyan who came to check the accounts, and the two chatted for a while.

A few days later, in such beautiful spring scenery, a shocking piece of news reached Li Mofu's ears.

"You, what did you just say?" Li Mofu stood up and asked in shock.

Lu Mingyun's face was also not good, "Your Majesty wants Wang Ruiyan to be the prince's concubine."

"Holy crap?!" Li Mofu almost couldn't catch his breath. He wondered, "The Crown Prince's concubine? The Emperor must be crazy. Wang Ruiyan already has an engagement!"

Lu Mingyun held him back and asked him to speak softly, "Don't worry. Her father and my father have already gone to see His Majesty. After all, the Wang and Lu families were engaged first, and Wang Ruiyan has been with Feng Ning a lot these days. His Majesty shouldn't be so shameless as to force Wang Ruiyan to become the Crown Prince's concubine."

Li Mofu was completely confused. He calmed down for a moment and sat down to ask, "Why does the emperor want Wang Ruiyan to be the crown prince's concubine? He is the emperor, there is no way he doesn't know that Wang Ruiyan is already engaged. Even so, why does he still want Wang Ruiyan to be the crown prince's concubine?"

"...It's said that the prince went to the temple to pray and draw lots. The lot indicated that after he went down the mountain and walked east, the first person he met who attracted his heart would be his lover in his past life." Lu Mingyun pinched his nose and continued, "And the person the prince met that day was Wang Ruiyan, so he wanted to take Wang Ruiyan as his concubine."

Li Mofu showed an expression that said, "Do you think I'm mentally retarded?" He leaned over to Lu Mingyun and asked seriously, "I'm asking you this, do you believe it?"

“…” Lu Mingyun.

"This kind of embellished, story-filled narrative is definitely a lie to the people," Li Mofu said. "So it's impossible that the prince has fallen for Wang Ruiyan. There's definitely something fishy going on."
