My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

When Lin Mo got up, the dilapidated courtyard was already packed with people, three layers deep.

And these people all had bruises on their faces, more or less.

Shen Qingyun stood at the entrance of the courtyard, with a nanny behind him holding a tray with a brightly colored wedding dress on it.

Shen Qingyun didn't give Lin Mo a chance to speak. As soon as she came out, he immediately spoke:

"Put on your wedding dress, and I'll take you to the Prince of Anping's residence right now."

Today, we cannot afford to lose.

News came from the palace, ordering them to get married immediately.

Seeing Lin Mo standing still, Shen Qingyun sneered:

"You have no choice. With so many people here, you might be able to leave safely, but are you sure your mother and brother will be unharmed?"

Lin Mo's face darkened. "So, I have no choice?"

If only I still had some super pills...

Shen Qingyun nodded.

"Give it to me." Lin Mo's voice was deep.

After receiving the wedding dress, she led her mother into the room, while her younger brother stood guard at the door.

As soon as the door closed, Liu Ying's anxiety became impossible to hide:

"MoMo, don't worry about us, just go first."

"Mother, don't talk nonsense. The people of the Marquis of Chang Le's mansion won't let me leave easily." Lin Mo shook her head.

"Mother, please help me put on my wedding dress!"

Looking at the vibrant wedding dress, Lin Mo's lips curled into a slight smile:

She never imagined that she would get to wear a wedding dress again in her lifetime.

……

Before Lin Mo got into the bridal sedan chair, she looked at Shen Qingyun with icy eyes:

"Once we arrive at the Prince of Anping's residence, I will send someone to pick up my mother and the others. Do you have any objections?"

Shen Qingyun nodded.

Now that she's entered the Prince Anping's residence, there's no need for me to offend her.

Anyway... she won't be able to act so arrogantly for long.

"If you anger me, I'll make your Chang Le Marquis's mansion a living hell." Lin Mo said as she bent down to get into the bridal sedan chair.

Shen Qingyun, who was standing to the side, frowned.

A fleeting hint of disdain crossed his eyes.

Well, let's see if she survives today.

……

Inside the study of the Prince of Anping's residence.

Xu Wuyan's expression was grim. "Still can't get in touch with my father?"

"No." Xu Feng shook his head.

But his expression was also grim. "Your Highness, a spy in the palace has risked his life to deliver a message. The Emperor does indeed intend to harm the Prince of Anping's residence, and has even secretly arranged a marriage for you. Your Highness should prepare as soon as possible."

"Do you know who it is?" Xu Wuyan asked coldly.

After seeing Xu Feng shake his head, he pondered for a moment, then looked up:

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, Xu Feng, you immediately take a group of people and hide. If that woman's words come true, you will secretly follow her."

After saying that, she took out a bundle and handed it to him.

If he were truly exiled, the journey would be fraught with danger, and the emperor would not allow him to reach his place of exile safely.

Therefore, he needs to make other preparations.

Xu Feng nodded coldly, picked up his bundle, and walked outside.

Shortly after Xu Feng left, the butler, Xu Dapeng, rushed in:

"Your Highness, an imperial edict has arrived from the palace."

……

The emperor did indeed send him a wife.

A cold glint flashed across Xu Wuyan's face as he looked at the bridal sedan chair parked to the side.

Shen Qingyun's face darkened:

"Your Highness, you should get married as soon as possible. After the wedding, you will need to go to the palace to express your gratitude."

The Emperor said that the Crown Prince is destined to bring misfortune to his wife, so everything should be kept simple and there's no need for extravagance.

Xu Wuyan didn't refuse; he couldn't refuse.

If he were to utter a single word of dissent now, the entire Anping Prince's Mansion would be immediately implicated, and he couldn't afford to gamble with that.

However, when the woman emerged from the bridal sedan chair, he had a strange sense of familiarity.

Have you seen it?

The wedding ceremony was quick.

Everyone was just going through the motions.

Shen Qingyun was satisfied to see that they had completed their wedding ceremony. After instructing them to go to the palace immediately to express their gratitude, he prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Mo lifted the red veil. "Lord Chang Le, don't walk so fast."

As Shen Qingyun stopped, Lin Mo looked at Xu Wuyan, who was staring at her in astonishment.

"Your Highness, would you mind borrowing your steward?"

Xu Wuyan snapped out of his daze, nodded, and called over the steward, Xu Dapeng.

"Steward Xu, my mother and younger brother are at the Marquis of Chang Le's residence. Could you please go and fetch them for me?" Lin Mo's lips curled slightly.

"Bring more people. If they don't hand them over, don't be polite."

While wondering why she was there at this time, Xu Wuyan suddenly understood: Shen Qingyun was threatening her with her family.

Xu Wuyan's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy as he pointed out a widow to him.

The Emperor really went to great lengths for the Prince of Anping's residence.

Shen Qingyun's face darkened, and he stormed off.

"you……"

"Stop talking nonsense, get everything arranged, and prepare to enter the palace." Lin Mo interrupted Xu Wuyan, a dark glint flashing in her eyes: "We can talk about it later."

Exile was unavoidable.

Since that's the case, it would be a shame not to rob the palace.

Lin Mo's teeth itched.

Looking up, he saw Xu Wuyan staring sharply at him. "Exile is a done deal, and it can't be changed."

"Prepare everything in advance, better safe than sorry, and you'll suffer less on the road."

After saying that, she took a piece of paper from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand:

"Prepare according to this instructions."

Xu Wuyan held the paper she had given him, looked at her deeply, and then turned and left.

What she said... might be true.

Lin Mo found an empty room and changed out of her wedding dress.

When she came out again, Xu Wuyan was already waiting for her not far away.

"Enter the palace!"

……

Upon arriving at the palace, they did not see the emperor, but instead stood outside the main hall for half an hour.

Just then, a young man dressed in fine clothes hurried past them and entered the main hall.

Lin Mo glanced at the sky and suddenly sighed:

"This man has come to report to the emperor that your father has died."

Xu Wuyan's expression changed, and he lowered his voice, "Be careful what you say."

Lin Mo shook her head. "Next, someone should come out and let us leave the palace."

Seeing Xu Wuyan's disbelief, Lin Mo's lips curled slightly:

"If I'm right, do me a favor later!"

For some reason, Xu Wuyan nodded, "Okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly eunuch hurried out of the main hall and called out in a shrill voice:

"Your Highness, the Emperor said that there is no need to express gratitude. The Prince of Anping's Mansion should just remember that both the thunder and rain are the Emperor's grace."

Xu Wuyan's face darkened; something was really going to happen at the Anping Prince's Mansion.

He bowed and said, "I will remember His Majesty's teachings. Please convey my gratitude to His Majesty on my behalf, Eunuch Liu."

"Alright, leave the palace as soon as possible." Eunuch Liu glanced at Xu Wuyan, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated before finally sighing and preparing to leave.

If we leave the palace quickly, we might have more time to prepare.

at this time.

"Ouch!"

Lin Mo suddenly clutched her stomach and bent over, looking at Eunuch Liu in front of her with a pained expression:

"Eunuch Liu, don't go yet!"

Could you tell me where the nearest restroom is? My stomach hurts so much, I... I can't hold it in any longer.

Xu Wuyan, who was standing to the side, frowned.

She was fine just now, so why is her stomach hurting now?

Eunuch Liu shook his head; it seemed this day was not the time for the Prince of Anping's residence.

After pointing her in a direction, he turned and went back to the main hall to report.

Without any delay, Lin Mo hurried forward.

Xu Wuyan had no choice but to follow.

As he approached her, he lowered his voice and asked, "What are you up to?"

Do you know that if what she said is true, the sooner they leave the palace, the better, at least they will have time to arrange other things?

"Do you remember what I just said?" Lin Mo didn't rush to answer his question, but instead looked up at him:

"So, you have to do me a favor."

Seeing that he still looked puzzled, Lin Mo didn't bother to explain:

"Guard this place. No one is allowed to enter. No one is allowed to come in until I come out."

After saying that, he pushed open the door of the side hall and went inside, then slammed the door shut.

Xu Wuyan, "..."

What's going on?

After entering the side hall, Lin Mo immediately slipped into her spatial dimension and then left the side hall at top speed.

Time is money.

Now that she's in the palace and exile is imminent, she naturally won't miss the opportunity to ransack the palace.

She didn't want to let go of any of the emperor's private treasury, the empress's private treasury, the imperial concubine's private treasury, or the empress dowager's private treasury.

The emperor's private treasury was the closest to here, so Lin Mo visited it first.

They bypassed the guards and quietly sneaked into the emperor's private treasury.

Believe it or not, the emperor's private treasury contained quite a few treasures.

Ha! They cry every day that the national treasury is empty, but it turns out the emperor has been transferring all the money from the national treasury to his own private coffers.

A hint of mockery flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, and she waved her hand.

It's been moved.
