After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

My Lordship closed the city gates for various reasons to prevent a bigger incident.

Yu Bai said, "If I'm really held accountable, as long as the people are safe, I don't mind."

He was worried that the person who came would not be easy to get along with and would have some connection with the prefect, which would be bad.

Sang Ye took Mu Baobao's hand and came to Zheng Xingguang's room.

Mu Pingping, Hua Yun and Shangguan were all waiting here.

There was an ice basin in the room, and the temperature was much lower.

"It's so cool!" Baby Mu wanted to run to the ice basin.

Hua Yun quickly caught it and held it on her lap, "No."

"Junior Sister, it's hot outside. If you suddenly come into contact with ice, you'll easily get sick."

Mu Baobao raised his little head and looked at him, "Second Brother, why are you sick?"

Hua Yun explained that it is easy to get sick if you are too hot and come into contact with cold things.

The junior sister is too young and weak, and cannot be exposed to these cold things suddenly.

Mu Baobao finally understood that this was the case.

"Okay, let me tell you the situation." Sang Ye covered her lips and coughed lightly, then repeated what she had learned.

"For now, I don't know whether what County Magistrate Yu Bai said is true or not. I have already arranged for guards to investigate."

"Wait, I will send a message back to Rongdu to see how the emperor will deal with the situation here."

Shangguan Quan hissed, "I've heard of disaster victims causing trouble, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."

Hua Yun said, "This is not the worst."

"I've been out checking shops in various places before, and I've encountered worse problems than this."

"Some people are inherently bad. They will do anything for their own benefit and will even incite others to cause trouble."

He had encountered someone who pretended to be weak to gain sympathy from others, and then brutally killed the other person, pretending that he was almost killed.

Shangguan Quan said, "Tell me, is what Yu Bai said true or false?"

"I see that the shops here are all closed and there are no people on the street. It doesn't seem like what Yu Bai said."

"It's hard to say." Sang Ye said, "It's useless for us to say so much now. Let's wait until the guards investigate."

Shangguan Quan and his companions also understood that they had just arrived here and knew nothing about this place. They had to wait for the guards to investigate before they could confirm some things.

……

Rongdu, Mu family shop.

Prince Chang entered the shop with his entourage. Seeing that there were many customers in the shop, his eyes dimmed slightly.

Before this, he had heard that the Mu family shop was doing very good business, and most of the people who came here were teachers and students from the Imperial College.

He knew very well that it was Zheng Xingguang's fault.

Most of the teachers and students in the Imperial College wanted to use the Mu family shop to establish a relationship with Zheng Xingguang so that he could help them.

"What would you like to buy, sir?" You Xiao had never met King Chang before, and thought he was a disciple of a big family, so he asked politely.

Prince Chang waved his hand and said, "I'm just wandering around. You don't need to greet me."

Seeing this, You Xiao went back to the counter and continued to settle the bill.

After working here, he felt a lot more relaxed and earned more money. From time to time, he could buy some leftovers to take home to nourish his family.

The days are becoming more and more promising.

Prince Chang quickly finished touring the Mu family shop and felt quite disgusted. He really didn't understand what Zheng Xingguang was thinking. He would rather help outsiders than his own family.

But it was also thanks to Zheng Xingguang that those brothers were foolish enough to target him, and thus were deposed by their father.

Now the only princes left are him and Prince An.

Based on his investigation and observation over many days, he found that King An was not reliable, as he was a man who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

Therefore, he was the only prince who could inherit the throne.

When Prince Chang thought of this, he almost couldn't contain his excitement and joy.

He had been planning for so long, working hard for so long, and enduring for so long, and finally he was the only one left.

Soon, the throne will be his.

"Your Highness, it's Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San." The attendant reminded in a low voice.

Prince Chang followed his gaze and saw Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San walking out from the backyard together, and the two brothers were talking.

He straightened his clothes and strode over: "You two..."

Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San raised their heads at the same time and looked at King Chang.

The two men did not know Prince Chang, but they could tell that he was from a big family, so they quickly bowed.

Fortunately, the two brothers learned etiquette from the housekeeper, so it was fine.

"I wonder what this distinguished gentleman wants to say?" asked Mu Laoer.

Prince Chang smiled kindly. "Well, I noticed your shop has a lot of customers, so I wanted to ask if you'd like to expand it?"

"The shop next door is mine."

Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San exchanged glances, both feeling that the person in front of them had bad intentions and would not say such things for no reason.

Mu Lao Er's expression remained unchanged. "I'm so sorry, sir, but we have no plans to expand our shop for the time being."

"This is all we sell. We can't sell more, so there's no need to expand."

Prince Chang was secretly annoyed that the two brothers were ungrateful. If he had not wanted to win over Zheng Xingguang and have him appointed Crown Prince as soon as possible, he would never have condescended to speak to these two people.

“You could sell more.”

Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San felt that this man was more and more strange, so they became more cautious.

"Sir, there's really no need for that. Besides, it's not something we can decide on." Mu Laoer said.

"Isn't this His Royal Highness Prince Chang?" A student recognized Prince Chang and stepped forward to pay his respects.

"His Royal Highness Prince Chang is also coming here to eat?"

When Mu Er and Mu Lao San heard that the man was Prince Chang, they immediately understood the purpose of his visit, which was to target Prince Zheng.

They said, why would this person bring up such a thing for no reason.

"We brothers will not disturb His Royal Highness Prince Chang." After saying that, Mu Lao Er pulled Mu Lao San away.

Prince Chang's mood grew worse, but he showed no sign of it on his face. He continued chatting with the student with a smile.

It looks like the Mu family will not be used by him.

In this case, there is no need to keep the Mu family.

But he would not follow the example of his two brothers and take direct action against the Mu family. There were many people who wanted to deal with the Mu family.

Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San were not stupid either. When they returned home that day, they found the housekeeper and told him that King Chang had come to look for them.

"Butler, do you think Prince Chang will get angry out of shame?" Mu Lao Er was very worried. "I don't think Prince Chang is someone who is easy to get along with."

After listening to this, the butler expressed his opinion, "Now there are only two princes left, Prince Chang and Prince An."

"From the outside, Prince Chang is the most favorable contender for the throne, so many court officials are on Prince Chang's side."

Mu Lao Er was a little confused, "Then Prince Chang wants to use us to win over Prince Zheng?"

The housekeeper said, "If I am not mistaken, Prince Chang wants to be appointed Crown Prince as soon as possible, so he wants to win over Prince Zheng."

"So far, the Emperor still has no intention of appointing a crown prince."
