After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

After coming out of the east courtyard, there was still a gatekeeper leading them out.

The old lady loves her children. When she went out just now, her attitude had softened.

When I was walking through the verandah, I didn't want to run into Han Wei, the uncle of the Hou Mansion. He drank wine, walked swaying, and kept mumbling something.

"This uncle...the dignified uncle of Dingyuan Hou Mansion...has a lot of money..."

When the gatekeeper saw him, he greeted him two steps forward and said, "Master, can I ask someone to take you back?"

"Go, your uncle didn't drink too much...burp..."

Han Wei pushed the young man, but he stumbled forward, looked up and saw Liu Yunxiang, his eyes lit up, "Oh, this little lady is so beautiful, I like her."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to touch Liu Yunxiang's face, but Zijin stepped forward and knocked her hand away.

Liu Yunxiang shouted, "How dare you! Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"

Han Wei drank too much and glanced at Liu Yunxiang a few times, but still didn't recognize her. He chuckled: "She's quite temperamental...I like to...hiccup...tie her up...and send her to me." In the house...by the way...come to Mr. Xue...let him have a taste..."

"Oh, uncle, you can see clearly. This is the Princess of Zhenbei. You are really drunk. I will send you back now." The gatekeeper was afraid that Han Wei would offend Liu Yunxiang, so he hurriedly pushed him Walking forward, he said to Liu Yunxiang and the others: "Princess, just walk out along the corridor. The younger one will send my uncle back first."

When Han Wei mentioned Xue Hefeng, Liu Yunxiang felt sick when he thought of the two of them living in a nest of snakes and rats.

She took Zijin out and walked a few steps. Then she remembered Han Wei's words and couldn't help but stop and look back at Han Wei. He staggered around, and the boy tried to help him, but he gave him a big slap in the face.

"Girl, is something wrong?" Zi Jin asked.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I just want to thank Wenqing."

"Fourth girl? Isn't the fourth girl passed away?"

"The death was so sudden, it was actually a bit strange."

"Never mind her, she always wants to harm you."

Liu Yunxiang naturally didn't care how Xie Wenqing died, but he felt something strange seemed to connect them together.

When he came to the street, Liu Yunxiang saw a group of people coming this way. The leader was actually Qin Fei. He was still very thin, but sitting on a high horse and running at high speed, he seemed to be carrying a powerful force. momentum.

There was another person walking alongside her, the third prince. The third prince was sitting on the horse, tall and thick-waisted. He was not handsome. Only when the horse ran, he was covered in fat and bumpy, and a sense of joy was revealed unconsciously.

The two of them headed towards the city gate with more than a dozen official servants behind them.

Returning to the palace, Liu Yunxiang went to Yan Mu's study and saw that he was immersed in reviewing memorials. There were several stacks of memorials in front of him, at least hundreds of them.

"If the memorial was not sent to the study, why would it be sent to you here?" Liu Yunxiang asked with a sigh.

"These were sent from the upper study room." Yan Mu said without raising his head.

"The Emperor won't approve?"

Yan Mu sighed, raised his head and said, "Mrs. Hou is about to give birth."

Liu Yunxiang immediately understood that the emperor valued the child in Mrs. Hou's belly very much, and he probably went to Zhuangzi to guard it. How to arrange for Madam Hou, how to arrange the child, if it is a boy, how to legitimately enter the family tree, how to appease the officials and concubines in the harem, these things are enough for the emperor to have a headache, so for the time being, he has no energy or mood to take care of government affairs.

"He asked you to act as an agent in the government?"

"Ah."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "Then the Queen and the Fourth Prince must be crazy."

"Not only them, many civil and military officials will also go crazy. In short, they will try their best to cause trouble for me in the past few days."

"It's thankless."

Yan Mu curled his lips, "But I like to see them go crazy."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and smiled, pouring a cup of tea for Yan Mu, "I'm afraid they will jump over the wall in a hurry, so you still have to be careful."

"What are you afraid of? It's just a cheap life..." Yan Mu was halfway through his words, but he felt something was wrong. He glanced at Liu Yunxiang and quickly changed his words: "You, if you care about my life, I will be careful."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, and then solemnly said: "Of course I care about your life."

"Then I promise not to put myself in danger again."

Yan Mu lowered his head as he spoke, as if he really knew that he had done something wrong before.

"Your life is not just your own. You have a wife and two children. For us, you should also value yourself."

"Well, I remember."

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly. If she valued his life but he didn't, what's the use? At some point, he would give up.

"By the way, Qin Feishi left the capital with the third prince. What happened?"

"The emperor asked the two of them to investigate the corruption case in Yanzhou Futai." Yan Mu said while approving the memorial.

"Can Qin Fei leave the capital?"

"Old Prince Shunping took several old ministers to beg the emperor. The trick Wei Shuyi gave was to make Qin Feishi die on the way."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "The emperor doesn't know that Wei Shuyi is Qin Feishi's man. They are just trying to rescue Qin Feishi from Jinyuan, but if Qin Feishi wants to gain a foothold in the court, they must have other plans."

"We don't know yet."

"But since the emperor has made up his mind to kill Qin Fei, why would he let the third prince go with him?"

Although the third prince is not smart, he still has some loyalty. Qin Feishi took advantage of this and showed him a small favor, and then became brothers with the third prince. When he was in Jinyuan, the third prince took care of everything so that he would not starve to death there.

With these three princes around, they would be in the way when killing Qin Fei, and they would even be stupid enough to block the knife for him.

The emperor doesn't want his son to be killed by mistake, right?

When mentioning this matter, Yan Mu was also a little confused.

"Wei Shuyi proposed it, but for some reason the emperor actually agreed."

"Wei Shuyi?" Liu Yunxiang really couldn't figure it out, "What's his purpose for doing this?"

Yan Mu shook his head, "I don't know."

When the emperor wanted to kill Qin Fei, they naturally had to send people to protect him. With the third prince around, they were afraid that the trap would be exposed.

When winter comes, it gets cold quickly.

Liu Yunheng and Han Sifu held their wedding as scheduled. Liu Yunxiang asked Zhang Qi to help organize the wedding. She herself did not show up and only gave her brother a lot of betrothal gifts.

Later, Butler Xu came to tell her that Liu Zan had resigned. He and Mrs. Liu were going back to their hometown and they wanted to see her. Liu Yunxiang didn't agree. The relationship between father and daughter was broken, so there was no need to see this.

But when Minister Liu and Madam Liu left the capital that day, Liu Yunxiang stood on the tower and watched them leave.

"Why don't you see her off in person?" Zi Jin asked puzzledly.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head: "If I really didn't care, I wouldn't come here today. I came here not wanting to see them, but I still have resentment in my heart."

It seems that she is not the kind of generous person, but as a daughter, she still hopes that the two elders can live a long life in their hometown, and she will take care of them secretly.

Liu Yunxiang took Zijin back to his house and saw Jin Yan standing there, waiting for them anxiously.

When she got off the carriage, Jin Yan hurriedly ran forward, "Girl, Fifth Miss, she..."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "What's wrong with Xiao Wu?"

"The fifth girl...is dead!"
