Sorry.

Political Struggle, who else can remain indifferent when clearly involved?

It's too late.

How could she forget the struggles of the court and the opposition? But Yu Lin saved her, giving her a place to live and work. He never mentioned the family's hatred, so she remained silent. At that time, she needed to live well more than seeking revenge. The entire Mu family relied on her to support them, so she couldn't act on impulse and only seek revenge. Moreover, if she really wanted revenge, isn't the real mastermind behind it all Shen Qingyu's mother, the current empress?

He wanted to call out her name, but the courage to speak had long since dissipated. He felt afraid, afraid that if he called out her name, she wouldn't respond because "Mu Lingsu" could refer to someone else.

In Mu Lingsu's eyes, she is the main culprit who caused her father's death. Therefore, even though she is a daughter, she still chooses to shoulder the heavy burden of the entire Mu family, not for anything else, but only to atone for her sins.

Mu Lingsu stared at Shen Qingyu with eyes full of shock and surprise: "Back then, I was in a dangerous situation. If it weren't for Yu Linzhi's help, I might have ended up in a grave if I were lucky. If luck wasn't on my side, I would have died without a burial place."

Hold on, Your Highness. Mu Lingsu quickly walked over in three steps and snatched the chopsticks from his hand as he was about to serve her. "I'll do it myself."

However, he seems to have the answers to these questions.

Without waiting for Mu Lingsu to invite him in, he went straight into the pharmacy. Mu Lingsu couldn't directly drive him out, so she could only follow behind.

He is clearly the descendant of your father's enemy, yet you do not hate him.

Shen Qingyu only recently learned of this earth-shattering secret to him. Before this, he had never imagined that his mother could deceive him one day. He was mischievous since childhood, so he never pleased his father, the emperor, and only his mother had been wholeheartedly loving and nurturing him. In his mind, his mother was flawless and could not possibly be associated with any human darkness. He never expected that today, he would learn all this from the mouth of his beloved.

Shen Qingyu really doesn't understand, for what reason could she forget her adoptive father's tragic death, let go of deep hatred, and face Gu Cheng's grandson with a smile. She is clearly someone who distinguishes between love and hate, and has always respected her adoptive father. She should be consumed by hatred for Yu Lin, how could she become Yu Lin's physician?

Little did I know that by hiding, dinner time had already passed.

Do you, do you think that my father was killed by the Empress Dowager? Mu Lingsu felt that every deep breath to calm herself required all her strength, but in order to make her words clear, she could only constantly suppress the trembling of her voice caused by her emotional excitement. "The Empress Dowager's intention to harm the Empress could have been a major issue, but His Majesty restrained himself and only demoted the third prince born to the Empress Dowager to a poor place as a king, and then gave the position of Crown Prince to your elder brother."

Why would I deceive you?Mu Lingsu could also guess that he was unable to accept it for a while, just like she was unable to accept her father's death in the past. It's a pity that parents in the world have such hearts. Of course, she could understand the Queen's painstaking efforts to protect Shen Qingyu, but when she saw Shen Qingyu standing on the moral high ground and accusing her, she not only felt unfair, but also wanted to pull him in.

Mu Lingsu was surprised that he could ask about his own father, and the questions were also very strange. For a moment, he couldn't understand why he asked such a question: "Why do you say that?"

Shen Qingyu only then remembered to take a glance at her.

And you cannot forget who killed your father.

Prince. Mu Lingsu came to his senses, concealed the thousand thoughts in his heart, and saluted him.

For some reason, Shen Qingyu had countless words to say to her when he couldn't see her, but now that they were face to face, he found that no matter how many words he had in his heart, he couldn't speak them. He had always been confident in his eloquence, but in front of the woman who had haunted his dreams for years, he was suddenly speechless. He wanted to ask her how she was, if she still liked the pastries in the palace, if she would still confide in him like before about everything on her mind.

Shen Qingyu never expected Mu Lingsu to suddenly start accusing his mother without any warning. Confused, he asked, "What does my mother have to do with this?"

Her expression changed dramatically, and she was very excited: "Who could have killed him? My father was loyal to the queen, who else could persuade him to face execution?"

Since Shen Qingyu is the son of the empress, he is already trapped in a dilemma. As a price, his friendship with Mu Lingsu has been sacrificed. Mu Lingsu can no longer simply wish him well as before. She cannot calmly watch Shen Qingyu enjoy happiness while stepping on blood, and at the same time, pretend to be a victim and accuse her.

She could guess that Shen Qingyu definitely didn't know the truth of the past, and even the Empress might have pushed all the blame onto her father and Concubine Lu, and said many lies to Shen Qingyu. But since he mentioned her father's death, she didn't have to endure it anymore.

The most profound lesson that the family's changes brought to her is to put herself in the right position in front of different people. In the past, she relied on the Empress's favor and had no restrictions in the palace, and was on equal footing with the princes and princesses. As a result, the Empress used her father as an excuse to plot against the German Princess, causing her father to become a victim of the palace struggle, and her family's situation plummeted from then on.

She is doing well, no longer liking everything in the palace, nor confiding her thoughts to him as before. With the passage of time, she has become completely different from before, growing distant from him, even letting go of her hatred and becoming so close to Yu Linzhi. Even for money, given his understanding of Mu Lingsu's temperament, she and Yu Linzhi could never be so peaceful. After all, it was Gu Cheng's advice that persuaded the emperor to exile Mu Lingsu's father.

Lingsu, I asked the steward of the Yu Mansion and learned that you haven't eaten. I specially brought some food for you. Shen Qingyu did indeed hold a food box in her hand. She raised the food box in front of Mu Lingsu, as if indicating that she had a genuine reason to find her. "Please eat first."

These years, he never asked about her difficulties, just like back then when she knelt in front of the Phoenix Zao Palace. Clearly seeing her suffering, yet turning a blind eye.

Today, she has finally exchanged for a new soul, but Shen Qingyu repeatedly forced her to recall those old things, she is already very helpless. If he still wants to baselessly accuse her, she can only continue to evade, and do her best not to actively bring up this unpleasant topic.

She certainly remembers, but it's meaningless to bring it up again. The queen is still the queen, and the crown prince is now the crown prince. She has fallen into the position of a criminal's daughter, and the glory of her family has dimmed due to her guilt. Everything from the past, whether it's wealth and prosperity or deep-seated enmity, has been completely severed from Mu Lingsu.

When this sentence was spoken from Shen Qingyu's mouth, Mu Lingsu's suppressed resentment was suddenly triggered. She originally wanted to avoid mentioning it, but since he took the initiative to bring it up, she no longer needed to deliberately hold back.

Upon hearing Shen Qingyu's words, Mu Lingsu didn't even want to argue. She had long expected him to blame her, to think that she had forgotten that her father had already passed away, forgotten the political factions that stood between her and Yu Linzhi, and forgotten that she was driven out of the palace by his mother.

Is your relationship with your father not good? He couldn't unravel the doubts in his heart, so he asked. In his opinion, Mu Lingsu's actions were abnormal, and there must be hidden motives.

Her gaze was sharp, and it seemed to Shen Qingyu that her body was being pierced through by Mu Lingsu's eyes.

Can't this still explain the problem? Mu Lingsu's silver teeth were about to shatter, "Your Majesty knows that the Empress is the mastermind, and only you were kept in the dark!"

Perhaps, Shen Qingyu's understanding of their relationship still remains in childhood, thinking that she is still the daughter of the imperial physician, the pampered Miss Mu from the Mu family.

Shen Qingyu noticed her unnatural behavior, but couldn't think that it was because of him: "Lingsu?"

Once back at the Yu Mansion, Mu Lingsu immediately hid in the pharmacy, afraid that Shen Qingyu would find her. Even if they had emptied their hearts to each other, there was nothing more to say, let alone her having to find words to say. Between them, it was just the old stories from the palace. She was truly tired of it, mentioning it only brought sadness. In order to avoid this displeasure, she simply hid herself and waited for Shen Qingyu to forget about finding her before she would go out again.

It has always been only your mother! Mu Lingsu remembered the scenes of her father being accused, her eyes were red, and tears had already accumulated in her eyes. But she couldn't cry. No matter how sad she was, she didn't want to shed tears for the pain of losing her father. This would only make her father worry about her in the afterlife. She had to pretend to be indifferent and live well in order to comfort her father's unjustly killed soul.

She did want to forget, but it was simply impossible. Her father was arrested, and she was all alone in the vast palace. She went to beg the empress for mercy, but the empress ignored her. She dared not ask Shen Qingyu for help, only hoping that he would inquire, but until the day she left the palace, she never heard him mention her father.

If following the prince's wishes, should I have killed Yu Linzhi the first time I saw him after leaving the palace to avenge my father? " Mu Lingsu changed to a serious and calm expression, and said seriously, "If I had really acted like that, I'm afraid the prince would only be able to visit my grave today."

This glance seems to penetrate the past decade of their acquaintance, and the eight years they spent apart. Her former self can no longer be reproduced in his eyes. The current Mu Lingsu is nothing more than someone else wearing the same skin but with a different soul.

That's it. Nowadays, everything is over. Let it be. Shen Qingyu's expression was still in shock, and Mu Lingsu didn't want to continue this topic either. The words have already been made clear, and she has no intention of continuing to entangle. Just now, she had already satisfied her desire for revenge very well.

Shen Qingyu remembered the way she used to talk and laugh with Yu Linzhi, as well as the way she slept in his arms. Her heart was always uneasy. It was one thing for them to no longer be close, but how could Yu Linzhi be so intimate with her? They were clearly bitter enemies who could not coexist peacefully, yet they were able to be so close.

Shen Qingyu wanted to say something to her, but couldn't find a suitable topic. After thinking for a while, he said, "Have you been doing well these years?"

Mu Lingsu didn't know how to explain to Shen Qingyu. He realized that their relationship was no longer the same as when they were children, and she could no longer interact with him without any barriers like before. She could only behave properly and respectfully towards him, like a subject to a ruler, and carefully watch over him.

"How is that possible?" Shen Qingyu still couldn't believe Mu Lingsu's words.

If we were to talk about the most terrifying thing in the depths of the imperial palace, it would be this. The Emperor's favorite is Empress Dowager Lü, but he fears the influence of the Empress's family. Even if the ruler of a country knows that the Empress has harmed Empress Dowager Lü, he still has to lean towards the Empress. Rather than saying it is a compromise with the Empress, it is more accurate to say that it is a concession to the forces behind the Empress.

Apologies, he unexpectedly owed her for so many years. Eight years of time, from the Fengzao Palace to Lin'an, from fifteen years old to twenty-three years old.

Mu Lingsu thought that Shen Qingyu hadn't come to see her for so long, presumably because she had other things to do. She wanted to go to the kitchen to cook two dishes to fill her stomach, but unexpectedly, she ran into Shen Qingyu just as she turned the corner.

She really couldn't do anything about Shen Qingyu, and she couldn't directly say "Please leave, Your Highness." She could only watch his actions and stop him quickly when things looked bad.
