After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Without caring about his nephew, Lu Chen looked at Ye Zhilan and said earnestly, "Princess, the country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. Lin Zhi has violated the law and should be sent to the king to be punished."

"It was my concubine's idea to save the family of Lord Changping. It has nothing to do with Linzhi."

As soon as Ye Zhilan said this, Song Xiang came out to stop her: "Princess, you must not take the blame on yourself."

Ye Zhilan raised her hand towards him and said, "I think there is nothing wrong with this matter. If the prince wants to punish me, then hold me accountable."

"Princess, why are you doing this?"

Lu Chen was a little annoyed, but he couldn't bear to scold her, so he had to continue to persuade her: "Princess, you want to protect Lin Zhi, I can understand, but you know what he has done."

So, he told the truth about how he had instructed the Li Ren Gang to help the Lu family army attack Darong and Dali, as well as the disaster relief.

"If your majesty hears that a mere martial arts sect can influence the fate of a country, what will he think of our Lu family? He is going to destroy the entire Liyang Palace."

"Has he ever done anything to let down the Lu family or the palace in these years?"

Ye Zhilan had tears in his eyes: "Does the prince have to be so intolerant of him?"

Lu Chen remained silent and did not dare to respond, but Lu Linchu felt a pang of pain in his heart.

These days he has been proud of the capture of Dali, and regards it as the most outstanding battle in which he regained his confidence.

This time he went to Dali to provide disaster relief and win back the hearts of the people, and made the county governors surrender without any effort, which made him feel proud. He thought that this was all achieved through his own hard work, but he didn't expect that it was actually with the help of the Li Ren Gang and the Fourth Brother.

Looking at Lu Linzhi with complicated eyes, he laughed and shook his head: "So my fourth brother is so secretive. You have been hiding it from me so hard."

It would be fine if it was just the Crown Prince's Consort who made plans for him, after all, he married a virtuous woman, but there was also the Li Ren Gang.

So, he himself is a waste.

"Third brother."

Lu Linzhi felt a pang in his heart and didn't know how to explain it to him.

"So, you were the one who arranged the fireworks that filled the entire city on the night of the Crown Princess' birthday?"

Lu Linchu looked at him with a half-smile, and Lu Linfeng, who was standing beside him, was also startled when he heard it.

"It was just a coincidence."

Lu Linzhi explained: "Although they are under the name of the Liren Gang, it is indeed the fishermen on the water who want to thank the prince and the prince for their kindness."

"I'll take your word for it."

Lu Linchu said angrily, "Since you are in charge of the Liren Gang, why didn't you tell me earlier? Will I, Jiang Zuo, be unable to move forward without the Liren Gang and the Crown Prince's Consort? Do I, Lu Linchu, have to rely on a woman and your martial arts sect to support the future of Liyang City?"

Feeling lost and angry, he immediately turned away in a depressed mood.

"Chu'er."

Seeing the prince walking away, Ye Zhilan felt a slight pain in his heart, but Lu Chen had calmed down and shouted decisively: "Escort Lu Linzhi to the capital."

"Your Majesty."

Ye Zhilan was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of hot blood. His eyes went dark and he fell down immediately.

"princess."

Lu Linzhi was quick to act and quickly supported the person.

Lu Chen was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly stopped the soldier who was approaching, hugged Ye Zhilan, and asked anxiously, "Princess, are you okay?"

Ye Zhilan gasped weakly, hot tears couldn't stop falling from the corners of his eyes: "I beg the prince to forgive Lin Zhi."

Lu Chen was suddenly hesitant and unable to make a decision. At this time, Ye Zhilan fainted from exhaustion.

"Quick, send the princess back to the palace and call Doctor Liu."

He did not bother to order the people to be brought to the capital, and ran out with Ye Zhilan in his arms. After running two steps, he hurriedly ordered: "Take the family of the Earl of Changping back to the palace and keep them well."

Afterwards, the group hurried back to the palace.

Fu Guiyun took Lu Qingchen and Lu Qingyu outside to watch the lanterns today. When he returned to the bedroom and was accompanying the brother and sister to sleep, he saw Cheng Kui running in hurriedly.

It was a cold winter day, and seeing him sweating profusely, Fu Guiyun knew something was wrong. He told Cuiluo and Qinglu to continue taking care of the two little guys until they slept, and asked Shuyan to get a cloak for him, then he immediately went out.

Cheng Kui followed her and explained in detail: "The prince took the family of the Earl of Changping back to the palace and wanted to punish the fourth young master. The princess became sick with anxiety."

Afterwards, he told them that the leader of the Liren Gang was Lu Linzhi.

Fu Guiyun was startled when he heard this. This guy was keeping it a secret from him.

If he only had some connections with the Liren Gang, he wouldn't be a threat, but being in charge of such a large gang would be a potential threat to both the imperial court and the Liyang Palace.

While he was thinking about how to resolve the situation, he saw the gatekeeper from the palace's front yard hurriedly leading someone in.

"Manager You." Fu Guiyun and Cheng Kui were both stunned.

You Dian bowed and glanced meaningfully at the gatekeeper beside him. Fu Guiyun quickly dismissed the gatekeeper and saw him kneel down and said, "I have left my post without permission. Please punish me, Princess."

"That's why."

After letting Cheng Kui help him up, Fu Guiyun asked solemnly, "Manager You, you have come all the way to Liyang City in person. You must have something important to tell me. But you can tell me what you want to tell me."

Hearing this, You Dian frowned and replied, "Before the New Year, I went to the palace to pay a visit to my foster father, and heard some secrets from the servant of Princess Huaiyi. He said that your majesty had secretly ordered the King of Dongyi and the King of Jiurong to gather 200,000 troops and station them at the border of Liyang..."

"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess already know about this."

You Dian interrupted him: "Don't worry, Manager You. The Crown Prince's Consort has a plan to deal with it."

"..."

You Dian looked at Fu Guiyun and blinked, "There is one more thing. His Majesty ordered the general to lead the 350,000 troops from the north and south camps in the capital to secretly go to Dongyi and Jiurong. The capital is almost an empty city now. I wonder if the Crown Prince's wife and the prince know about this?"

"What? Your Majesty is so foolish as to gather all the garrison troops in the capital to the southern border?"

Cheng Kui was stunned: "He is going to capture the three kings of the Southern Territory in one fell swoop."

Fu Guiyun had previously guessed that the emperor might make such an arrangement, and it really came true.

"I have made inquiries from many sources to confirm this."

You Dian said, "I wanted to discuss this with the Minister, but I learned that the family of Minister Fu has been closely monitored by His Majesty. I really have no other options. So I took advantage of the New Year's Day to accompany Yu Lian and her daughter back to their hometown to worship their ancestors and risked my life to come and tell you. The prince is the pillar of the country. Now the northern border is unstable. If the prince and the Lu family make any more mistakes, our Dakang will surely fall into an irreparable situation."

"Manager You, you did a great job."

Fu Guiyun was deeply moved. He always gave people surprises, which was really gratifying.

"Come on, follow me to meet the prince and princess."

Fu Guiyun led him on his way, and asked as he walked, "Have Yulian and her daughter settled down?"

You Dian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. They are all fine. I have already placed them in the inn."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Fu Guiyun ordered: "I'm afraid there will be unrest in the capital. When you come to Liyang City, settle down first. As for returning to the capital, we can talk about it later."

"I obey your command," You Dian replied respectfully.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, they saw Lu Linzhi being escorted by soldiers and being punished with a cane under the personal supervision of Lu Linfeng.

Seeing Fu Guiyun, Lu Linfeng hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't go in now."
