Zero six.

Unexpectedly, I ran into her again today. It seems like Mu Lingsu's luck has turned for the worse. She was so scared that she quickly found a place to hide and avoid her, hoping for some peace and quiet. As a princess with a noble status, she would definitely be arranged to ride in a carriage, but she took the initiative to let Shen Hanyan ride alone.

Yu Linzhi never expected that Mu Lingsu would still be afraid of Shen Hanyan until now. In order to avoid her, he even gave up a large sum of money. It is clear that Mu Lingsu was really hurt by her. So he had a bad idea and reached out to her, pretending to help her onto the horse while jokingly saying, "As a young girl, you don't even know martial arts. You should just take a carriage. A few years ago, you were still young. Now that you've grown up, maybe she won't bother you anymore."

Princess Yongjia, Shen Hanyan, is the number one unruly figure in the harem. Since being adopted by the empress, she has always been at odds with Mu Lingsu. She constantly tries various methods to drive her out of the palace and frequently speaks ill of her in front of the empress. She does not want to have conflicts with her outside the palace again.

Every time Shen Hanyan troubles her, she has grievances that she cannot express. If she refutes her, perhaps Princess Yongjia will quietly take her life. If she doesn't refute her, she will be unjustly accused of a serious crime for no reason, and her heart will feel suffocated.

I would actually like to manage her. She is so busy with her business on weekdays. If I have time, how can I not look at her every day? Shen Qingyu is also very headache for Shen Hanyan. The queen has always wanted a daughter. It was not easy to have an adopted daughter. Under all kinds of pampering, Shen Hanyan has developed a snobbish character, and she doesn't know anything except for being coquettish and throwing tantrums.

Hearing the voice of Princess Yongjia, sitting in the carriage, Mu Lingsu, who was swaying and drowsy, was startled and immediately lifted the curtain to find that it was indeed the real little lady herself. She screamed in her heart and quickly got off the carriage, running to Yu Linzhi's side, saying, "I'll ride with you."

"What's wrong?" Yu Lin asked in confusion.

Shen Qingyu awkwardly glanced at the woman next to her, pulled her younger sister back, and looked angry, saying, "Are you afraid that others don't know you escaped and are waiting for the officials to send you back to the palace?" Shen Hanyan, who was originally full of grievances, felt a lot less confident when she heard her brother say this, and obediently hid behind Shen Qingyu.

Yulin Zhi also thinks so. This is the time when they are at the forefront, if they rush in blindly, they may not only fail to save people, but also involve others. He turned the horse's head and, with Shen Qingyu, set out on the return journey with the people.

Shen Hanyan ignored Yu Linzhi, but immediately recognized Mu Lingsu who was also on the horse. She pointed at her arrogantly and said, "Bold woman, don't you kneel and pay respects when you see this princess?"

"I don't." Mu Lingsu refused decisively.

"You're so old and yet you're still worried about my whereabouts. The Prime Minister must be suffering." The mocking tone in Yu Lin's words was evident, although he remained expressionless. However, Mu Lingsu could clearly sense his anger and disdain.

Gu Cheng

The girl is beautiful and charming, with a lively and lovely temperament. At first glance, she is a noble and distinguished person. As expected, when she saw Shen Qingyu, she exclaimed loudly, "Eleventh Prince, Yongjia has been looking for you for a long time!"

This implication is too obvious. Gu Cheng is neither the Grand Minister of Justice nor the Minister of Justice, yet he can sign on the wanted order, indicating that the decision to capture Yu Lin is entirely his personal intention.

Yulinzhi has always looked down on Shen Qingyu's indecisiveness towards women, whether it's towards the queen or Shen Hanyan, he always complies without question, carrying out everything without error. However, he remained silent when Mu Lingsu, who had suffered countless grievances, was mistreated, allowing the queen to make the decision. Thinking of this, Yulinzhi rolled his eyes at Shen Qingyu in his heart, but said nothing, and let everyone set off together.

Mu Lingsu raised her chin in the direction of Shen Hanyan and said, "The Princess of Yiyang has arrived. Let me hide for a while, no need to add the three hundred taels of silver for medical expenses."

In the distance, Shen Qingyu seemed a little angry, speaking to Shen Hanyan with a serious expression. After a while, he brought Shen Hanyan over to introduce her to Yu Linzhi: "Do you still remember? The former Hua Yang County Princess from the Duke Jing's family. Now my mother keeps her in the Phoenix Palace. When you left that year, she was still a child."

Yulin arranged for her to go to the carriage and said to Shen Qingyu, "Why is the princess still like this? It's one thing to be ignorant when she was young, but she's already sixteen and still so willful and capricious, shouting and screaming at Xiaomu."

Just out of the city, not long ago, a girl riding a chestnut-colored donkey came quickly from a distance, with dust flying. Her posture seemed as if she was riding a horse, and she did not slow down until she reached Shen Qingyu's mount.

This is the adopted daughter of the current empress, formerly known as Princess Jing from the Wangfu of Prince Duan, Princess Yongjia, Shen Hanyan.

A group of people arrived at the city of Huzhou in the evening. Surprisingly, there was a wanted poster posted at the city gate. Shen Qingyu sent someone to investigate and found that it was a wanted poster issued by the court specifically targeting Yu Linzhi. What made it different from ordinary wanted posters was that it was signed by the current prime minister, Gu Cheng.

Actually, Yu Linzhi's background can be considered as one of the rare misfortunes in the world. His birth mother was the eldest daughter of the current prime minister and was supposed to enter the palace for the selection of imperial concubines and become a noble consort. However, because she eloped with Yu Linzhi's biological father and gave birth to him, even if she voluntarily returned to the prime minister's mansion, she could not marry anyone. She could only use the prime minister's power to enter the palace and become a palace maid by the side of the empress, serving as a spy for the family in the imperial harem.

Upon thinking about it, Mu Lingsu's sympathy towards Yu Lin increased by another degree.

A few days later, Yu Lin's condition stabilized. His first decision was to rush to the capital with Shen Qingyu to take care of Mu Lingsu. He specially arranged a carriage for her.

Yulin has never seen his mother since he was young. In order to see her, he entered the palace as Shen Qingyu's companion reader and broke ties with his maternal grandfather. It seems that in the first half of his life, family affection was always incomplete. What was lost has never been regained, and what was gained has been lost again.

Yu Lin nodded slightly and immediately pretended to bid her farewell.

I suggest you go back to Lin'an now. Shen Qingyu came forward and advised, "It seems that if they don't catch you, Master Yu will not be beheaded. However, they will definitely intensify their investigation to catch you along the way. I'm afraid we will be caught before we even reach Nanjing."
