04.

Since I know you definitely won't agree, it's better to just pull you onto the ship. Yu Lin looked calm and content, despite still being ill. However, his spirits had improved a lot, presumably due to the medicine he had taken. He boldly extended his hand and gestured with a number, "How about I add another 300 taels of medical fees for you?"

For years without contact, Mu Lingsu had no idea about these things of Shen Qingyu. She thought he had already become an official in the court and came secretly this time. In Mu Lingsu's memory, the Emperor's favorite were the two sons born to the Empress, one being her brother-in-law, the Crown Prince, and the other being Shen Qingyu. Unexpectedly, over these years, the father-son relationship between the two has become so indifferent.

Mu Lingsu carefully folded the well-written pulse case and put it into the leather bag she carried with her. Then she walked to the bedside to take Yu Linzhi's pulse, saying, "Now it's much better, and the strength of the pulse has returned a bit."

When mentioning Shen Qingyu, Mu Lingsu would think of those years in the palace. Speaking of those days of walking on thin ice, she would feel scared and her mood would instantly turn bad. She would pick up the pulse pillow and hit Yu Linzhi's head, saying, "Thank you, big-headed ghost."

But few people know that every spring, this weak young master of the Yu family has to make a trip to the Ghost Gate.

"Don't you like him?" Yu Lin was suddenly very happy to hear her say that. He felt like standing up and clapping for joy. "But in front of him, you act like a completely different person, so proper and formal, just like an old palace maid."

It doesn't matter even if you die without paying your medical fees. Miss Mu, please rest assured. Seeing that Yu Linzhi was uncooperative, he rang the bell on the bedside to call the wet nurse and asked her to invite Prince Yiyang.

What does it matter?" King Yiyang and Yu Lin smiled at each other, with an indifferent look. "I haven't seen His Majesty for many years. If I weren't the Empress's son, I'm afraid he would have forgotten about me long ago," Shen Qingyu said. Since reaching adulthood, Shen Qingyu has been traveling and doing business in various places. He has shops all over the country, offering a wide range of goods and services, from daily necessities to ironware and precious metals. Both government-run and private stores have a complete range of products.

He actually wanted to say that she appeared gentle and quiet in front of Shen Qingyu, and not at all as bold and casual as she was in front of him. However, the two of them had known each other for years and had never had a proper conversation. They always teased each other and he was not used to expressing his thoughts directly.

Mu Lingsu was about to speak, but Yu Linzhi hurriedly interjected: "I have a real matter to attend to, my life is at stake, and my father cannot wait. It's a matter of life and death, Miss Mu, please spare me this time." As he spoke, Yu Linzhi made a pleading gesture.

Young Master Yu, have you seen the Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face? During a break from organizing medical records, Mu Lingsu caught a glimpse of Yu Linzhi opening his eyes and couldn't help but joke with him, "I wonder how many times you've been to the underworld."

Shen Qingyu watched the play for a while and laughed, "Young Master Yu is truly extravagant." Then, she took out a blueprint from her sleeve and said, "This is the topographic map of the dungeon. Let's study it."

He smiled and said, "In our dynasty, agriculture is valued over commerce, and merchants are looked down upon. Your Majesty surely would not want to acknowledge having a son engaged in a lowly occupation."

Mu Lingsu became even angrier when she heard Yu Lin describe herself as an old palace maid. "You don't understand at all. Every time I see him, I can't help but think of his father and mother, and I instinctively treat him politely," she said. After thinking about it, she was still angry and hit him on the head with her pulse pillow again, saying, "You eunuch."

Yu Linzhi's hands supported the bed as he tried to sit up and leaned against the bedpost. As a result, his wrists went weak, and he almost fell down again. Mu Lingsu acted swiftly and immediately supported him, adding a cushion behind his back. Yu Linzhi said, "Thank you," and then took a few deep breaths. "Who said we were going to rob the Dharma Assembly? Smart people usually rob prisons."

At the mention of the matter concerning the leader of the martial arts alliance, Yu Jianwu, Mu Lingsu knew that this was no small matter. Furthermore, considering that the person who could help with this matter was King Yiyang, she became even more convinced that this matter was not trivial. The court and the martial arts world, seemingly unrelated, are actually closely connected. After much contemplation, she had only one guess in her mind: "Do you want to rob the execution ground?"

Take a break, you just woke up, don't tire yourself out. Mu Lingsu put a ginseng slice into his mouth and said, "If you continue to exhaust yourself, you will die soon. Then you won't be able to accomplish anything important. It's better to rest and gather your strength, and plan for the long term."

Mu Lingsu arrived at Yu Linzhi's bedside, and after careful observation and questioning, she determined that his previous severe coughing had caused lung damage, resulting in blood stasis in the lungs and coughing up blood. She quickly prescribed a formula and instructed Mi Shi to decoct the medicine, while she stayed by Yu Linzhi's side to administer acupuncture to remove the blood stasis. After half an hour, Yu Linzhi finally woke up.

Yu Linzhi leaned on the bed, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two. He boldly speculated that they must have had some kind of story before they met. After thinking for a moment, he planned to dismiss Shen Qingyu, saying, "My lord, please go and rest in the bath first. After days of travel, you must be tired. Let's allow you to relax today, as there will be many more things to trouble you in the future."

At this moment, it was already close to the hour of You. A pungent medicinal smell permeated the courtyard on the east side of the mansion. Since the birth of the young master of the Yu family, this smell had never disappeared. It was a well-known secret in the martial arts world that the young master of the Yu family was born with a congenital deficiency. However, he was exceptionally talented and three years ago, he led the eight major sects to the Western Regions to eradicate the demon cult and the Chongguang sect, and rescued the martial artists from the Central Plains who had been imprisoned in the demon cult headquarters. Although it was widely known that the young master of the Yu family was born with a congenital deficiency, he was exceptionally talented. Three years ago, he led the eight major sects to the Western Regions to eradicate the demon cult and the Chongguang sect, and rescued the martial artists from the Central Plains who had been imprisoned in the demon cult headquarters.

What are you going out for? You should also listen. When Yulin saw Muling Su wanted to sneak out, she immediately stopped her and said, "When we go to the capital, you have to follow me. It's okay to listen."

In the city of Lin'an, there is the Yu Family Mansion.

Although Yu Jianwu has been sentenced to be beheaded, the execution date has not been announced yet. As long as there is no news, he still has a chance to live for another day. As his son, Yu Linzhi has an absolute obligation to rescue him.

Shen Qingyu was indeed tired, so she exchanged a few polite words with Yu Lin and then left.

Miss Mu has arrived. The person who came is the wet nurse Mi, who has taken care of Yu Linzhi since childhood. She opened the door curtain of Yu Linzhi's bedroom and welcomed Mu Lingsu inside. "Before the young master vomited a basin of blood, and now he is unconscious. I have served him ginseng pills and am waiting for Miss Mu to save his life."

It's much better. Please go and invite His Royal Highness Prince Yiyang to come in. I have something to entrust to him. Upon hearing that he was temporarily safe, Yu Lin immediately remembered the most important matter.

Last year, there was an incident. Just as Yu Lin was about to leave for a meeting, he suddenly collapsed not long after setting out. He had a high fever for more than half a month and almost couldn't be saved. Mu Ling Su still has lingering fear about this incident, afraid that he might repeat the same mistake.

Although Yu Linzhi has woken up, his body is still very weak, and he doesn't have much strength to speak. He is so weak that he says, "My life is very tough, even the little immortals dare not take me away." When he thinks that Mu Lingsu came all the way from his home in Suzhou overnight, he feels a little guilty and says, "He has been on the road for several days in a row, I'm afraid he hasn't rested well."

As soon as the others left, although Yu Linzhi's facial expression remained unchanged, his eyes revealed a rather mischievous look. He looked at Mu Lingsu and said, "I unexpectedly created an opportunity for you to reunite with your old love after a long separation. You should quickly repay me with the consultation fee as a token of gratitude."

After listening to Shen Qingyu's plan, Mu Lingsu finally realized how much risk they were taking. Disobeying imperial orders, offending imprisonment, none of these mattered. What was most fatal was that Shen Qingyu, a prince, was actually betraying his own father for the sake of brotherhood in the martial world. She put down her pen and said, "Isn't this implicating the prince?"

Mu Lingsu was both depressed and angry: "Why are you telling me this now?"

Mu Lingsu sat by the window, far from the edge of the bed, and said, "Go ahead, tell me. I will take note of what I need to hear."

Mu Lingsu felt unhappy when he mocked her. However, she has never liked the disputes between the people in the martial arts world, and she doesn't want to inquire too much. When she saw Shen Qingyu coming in, she wanted to leave.

Mu Lingsu only then realized that Yu Linzhi had dug a pit here and was waiting for her. He probably had planned from the beginning to force her to agree to accompany him all the way by taking action first and reporting later.

Actually, Mu Lingsu wanted to refuse. She has always believed that she is not someone who would easily bow down to money, but three hundred taels is not a small amount for her, who shoulders the livelihood of her family. It could provide for the food and drink of the Mu family for a long time. Faced with reality, she had to bow down as well.
