Although Mudan was a little ambitious, if she said she was willing to betray him, Meng Yi would not believe it. So he just shook his sleeves and said coldly: "Hmph, do you think I am really angry about this little thing?"

"Please ask the Pavilion Master to make a clear statement." Mudan knelt in front of Meng Yi again, pressing his heart.

"You have been targeted. Now Sun Ruolan has been caught. You will immediately take someone to the dilapidated temple in the northwest of the suburbs to silence people. If you can't do it well... don't sit in your position as the leader." Meng Yi slowly crushed the orchid in his hand.

Looking at the broken petals falling on the ground, Peony widened her eyes and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely get this done!"

The 'tick' sound of horse hooves seemed particularly clear on the gradually quiet street. Lin Yingxue sat in the carriage, occasionally lifting the small curtains on the carriage and looking out - the night was getting deeper and the street was sparsely populated. She and the guards of the Prince's Mansion walked along the way, and the number of people she met on the street was only five fingers.

This is also good. After a while, they will bring Sun Ruolan into the city, and the possibility of being seen will be greatly reduced. Lin Yingxue put down the curtain, and there was a hint of worry in her expression.

"Who is here!" When the carriage reached the city gate, it suddenly stopped. Lin Yingxue held the wall and stabilized her body while lifting the curtain to check the situation outside.

"Leng Yue!" Who would have thought that when he saw Leng Yue covering her injured arm, she blocked her carriage with a pale face, "She is my man! Let it go!"

Seeing this, Lin Yingxue's expression changed, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and helped Leng Yue up, "What's going on? Why are you injured? Where is Sun Ruolan?"

"Back to my master, my subordinates are not doing well, and Sun Ruolan has been destroyed." Leng Yue frowned and was about to kneel down, but Lin Yingxue hurriedly stopped Leng Yue with quick eyes and hands.

"Your martial arts skills cannot protect Sun Ruolan. It seems that the person sent by the other party is not simple..." Lin Yingxue murmured to herself and said with concern: "You don't have to blame yourself. You don't blame you for this. Just go back and recover from your injuries."

"Miss Fifth, do we still have to go out of the city?" The guards waiting outside the carriage saw that Lin Yingxue had not issued any orders for a long time, so they couldn't help but come to the carriage and whispered.

"No need, go to Liu's house to put Leng Yue down, and then send me back to the prince's mansion." Lin Yingxue covered the look of regret on her face and whispered.

When he returned to the prince's mansion again, Murong Jun, who received the news from the prince, also rushed over. When he heard that Sun Ruolan had been killed, the prince was very disappointed, "It's a pity that such a good clue."

"I heard from my elder brother that Sun Ruolan is related to a woman named Mudan. Who is this Mudan?" Murong Jun's thinking has always been much more agile than the prince. At this moment, when he heard the news of Sun Ruolan's death, he immediately keenly proposed another clue that might be able to use.

"This Peony Girl was once the courtesan of Xunliu Pavilion, and she is now the maid next to Mr. Meng." In fact, when he was in Miaocheng, Murong Jun had not only met Meng Yi, but also Mudan, but he had never cared about those irrelevant women, so he needed Lin Yingxue's reminder at this time.

"Xun Liu Pavilion, Meng Yi..." Murong Jun murmured and repeated the place and human name. "When he was in Miaocheng, this Mr. Meng looked unfathomable. At that time, he thought he was a figure in the world, but he didn't expect that he was also related to the court."

"This is not the most important thing." Lin Yingxue took over Murong Jun's words and continued: "More important is that Meng Yi, who we already know, has done two things. One thing is to use Xue Ji to promote Murong Xiao to the top, and the second thing is to let Sun Ruolan ruin the Lin family."

"The result of the previous thing was Murong Xiao's death, and the result of the second thing was that the Lin family fell apart and almost destroyed the entire clan... It is true that these two things are enough to prove that Meng Yi's methods are very good, but if you think about it carefully, these two things Meng Yi did seem to have no connection on the surface. We neither know what his real purpose is, nor who Meng Yi serves on, or whether Meng Yi is another separate force besides His Royal Highness and His Fifth Prince."

Meng Yi was too unruly in his actions. Since he could mess up the palace, he could almost give a prince who had been unpopular since childhood to the position of crown prince... This Meng Yi was really not simple. If this person was an enemy, not a friend, it would be a difficult opponent for them... Lin Yingxue frowned while thinking.

"He should not be the fifth brother." After several people in the house were silent for a long time, Murong Jun continued to analyze: "The fifth brother has always been interested in the third girl of the Lin family, and he has long expressed his intention to marry Lin Yingling to the family. When the two get married, Lin Zhengjie's location will be a great help, but at this time, Lin Zhengjie's fall will be a big loss for the fifth brother. If Meng Yi is really the fifth brother's person, he will definitely not do such a thing."

"The fifth brother is right!" The prince has only been considering to keep up with the thinking of Murong Jun and the other two. "But now there is no other prince's power except me, third brother and fifth brother in the court. According to the current analysis of the third brother, Meng Yi is neither the third brother nor my person nor the fifth brother's person. So why is this person causing these things?"

Too many questions were shrouded in front of Lin Yingxue and the others. The situation, which was not optimistic, seemed to become more confusing after Meng Yi joined.

"We have too few clues in our hands, otherwise our current situation would not be so passive. I will stop here tonight. I will send people to pay more attention to Meng Yi's movements. After collecting enough clues, the puzzle we are currently encountering will naturally be solved." After discussing for half a night, the prince saw Lin Yingxue's face was exhausted, so he couldn't help but say.

Lin Yingxue naturally had no objection to this. She refused Murong Jun's request to send her home, but instead took the carriage from the Prince's Mansion and asked the Prince's Mansion's guards to escort her back to Liu's house.

Originally, Lin Yingxue was thinking of having a good rest after she got home, but when she opened the door, she saw that the whole courtyard was brightly lit, and Liu was sitting in the main hall with her straight face, as if she was waiting for her to come back.

Lin Yingxue said intimately that something was wrong, but she had to bite the bullet and greet her, "It's getting late, why haven't my mother rested yet?"

"Why haven't I rested yet? Your daughter's house only came back in the middle of the night. What kind of pride would it be if it was spread?" Liu was harsh to Lin Yingxue, but now Liu must have been angry with Lin Yingxue and looked very unhappy.

"Mother..." Lin Yingxue lowered her head and walked forward, squatting down in front of Liu with a well-behaved look on her face. "Mother, Yingxue knows she is wrong, so don't be angry with Yingxue. Yingxue promises that she will never again next time."

Lin Yingxue leaned against Liu's legs and rubbed gently. She looked coquettish and soft. No matter how angry Liu was, she would not come out toward Lin Yingxue like this.

"You were on the carriage from the Prince's Mansion just now, right?" Liu asked, and waved his hand to signal the servants in the main hall to retreat.

After all the people left, Lin Yingxue nodded and responded: "Yes."

When Liu heard this, his expression on his face couldn't help but fluctuated significantly, "You came back from the Prince's Mansion so late... You honestly told your mother, where have you ever experienced with the Prince?"

"Mother, what are you thinking about?" Lin Yingxue was helpless and funny when she saw Liu's misunderstanding. "My daughter has nothing to do with the prince. The reason why she returned late from the prince's mansion was just because she had something to talk to with the prince."

"Discussing things?" Liu's brows, which were already uneven, couldn't help but frown even tighter, "Your daughter's house, what should you discuss with you if you have anything to do?"

Liu's questioning made Lin Yingxue silent - she wanted to assist the prince in taking office, and she might have to have more contact with the prince's mansion in the future. Even if she was perfunctory, Liu would still be suspicious in the future. It would be better to reveal some news to the people in front of her, so that she would not let Liu think randomly in the future.

"Mother, Yingxue doesn't want to hide it from you." Lin Yingxue sat down next to Liu with a serious expression. "The Lin family has disbanded, and only Yingxue and her mother depend on each other in the future. The prince took a fancy to his daughter's talent and said that as long as his daughter can do her best to assist the prince to the throne, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, we will definitely allow our mother and daughter to worry for the rest of our lives, so the daughter wants to take a risk."

It is naturally impossible for Lin Yingxue to tell Liu Shiming about revenge, but her current statements are not all her making up, but this reason is just a small part of the reason why she is willing to assist the prince.

"Yingxue, you..." Liu thought for a long time and never thought that Lin Yingxue would have something to do with the court. She grabbed Lin Yingxue's hand with shock and said worriedly: "Child, the situation in the court has changed rapidly. Although the prince is the crown prince, it is still a big deal to sit in that position in the future! Mother knows that you want your mother to live a good life for the rest of her life, but this fact is too dangerous! Mother doesn't want you to take risks with her. Even if we are more miserable, our mother will be very satisfied if we live safely like this!"

Liu held Lin Yingxue's hand tightly, his face full of worries.

Looking at Liu's appearance, how could Lin Yingxue not be moved? If she was still the Lin Yingxue in her previous life, she would definitely stop immediately with her mother who loved her like this. Unfortunately, she is no longer the same one.

She lived for revenge in this life. If she could not kill those who had hurt her with her own hands, what's the point of living a lifetime?

"Mother, my daughter has wade into this muddy water and there is no room for stopping." Lin Yingxue's eyes were filled with tears, and there was endless complex emotions in her eyes.

Liu stared at Lin Yingxue for a long time, and finally could only helplessly embrace Lin Yingxue in his arms, "Child, mother knows that you have a secret in your heart. You don't want to say it, and mother doesn't ask much. If you want to fight, mother has no other choice but to support you, but you have to promise your mother that you must protect yourself under any circumstances."

"Okay, Yingxue promised her mother that she would definitely live well." Live and protect the people around her. Lin Yingxue hugged Liu tightly, with a firm look in her expression.
