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

After Fu Yuanshu was imprisoned in the water dungeon on the north bank of the Li River, Fu Guiyun, under the expectation of the Fu and Lu families, as well as the officials and people of Jiangzuo, performed the ceremony of enthroning the Crown Prince and Crown Princess together with Lu Linchu.

Song Weizhao sent someone to send Pu's body back to Jiangzuo. Fu Ping simply ordered a hasty burial and expelled the names of both mother and daughter from the family tree. The entire Fu family did not have any ripples because of her death.

When Daning was founded, Fu Ping was conferred the title of Duke Dingguo, promoted to Minister of Rites, and given the title of Prince Grand Tutor. For a time, the entire Fu family was in the limelight and became the most popular new noble force in the entire Daning Dynasty.

Lu Chen issued a general amnesty on the day of the founding of the country, but he did not pardon Chu Huaixi's family, which made Chu Huaixi's hatred even worse.

That day, when Lu Linchu returned to the palace alone, Chu Huaixi began her revenge strategy.

"I heard that many court officials have flocked to the Dingguo Mansion recently. His Majesty values ​​the father-in-law of the state and has established the Dingguo Mansion in Liyang to house the entire Fu family. He also ordered the father-in-law to return to the capital with the Crown Princess. I am really worried."

Lu Linchu frowned when he heard this: "Your Majesty and I have to fight the enemy on the front line. What's wrong with the father-in-law going back to Liyang with the Crown Princess to assist her in governing the southern border?"

She mentioned that the court officials went to Duke Dingguo's residence to congratulate him. She also knew about it. "The whole Fu family is righteous. Their impassioned speech in front of the Great Yan army won the admiration of the world. Duke Dingguo is the father of the Crown Princess and the Grand Tutor of this palace. It is even more reasonable for the court officials to go and congratulate him."

Thinking of how he almost wiped out the entire Fu family, Lu Linchu felt endless guilt in his heart: "From the time the Crown Princess married me till now, I owe her a lot. Now I just hope to make her life as happy as possible. Besides, she has never been a person who relies on her favor to be arrogant. She will definitely restrain the entire Fu family."

"The Crown Prince is so considerate of the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess will naturally be grateful to the Crown Prince."

Chu Huaixi smiled faintly and said, "But Prince, don't forget that His Royal Highness Prince Zhong's fiefdom is adjacent to Liyang. His Majesty has asked His Royal Highness Prince Zhong to escort the Crown Princess and the entire Fu family back to Kyoto. We must be on guard."

These words instantly made Lu Linchu alert.

He had already noticed that the Fourth Prince was deeply in love with the Crown Princess, so he really had to be on guard.

Chu Huaixi added: "I always feel that the Queen loves Prince Zhong a little too much. This love even exceeds her love for the Crown Prince. Your Majesty is fighting in the front line, and I shouldn't talk nonsense. But the fact is that life and death are unpredictable in war. What if something happens to Your Majesty one day..."

"Shut up."

Lu Linchu glared at her in dissatisfaction: "Father was in his prime, and fought many battles in the south and the north for many years, how could there be anything good or bad about him."

Knowing that she was complaining about the emperor not pardoning the Chu family, Lu Linchu could only comfort her: "Huai Xi, although your father and the old and young in your family are not on the pardon list this time, they have been protected by me. They have been doing well in the place of exile, and no one dares to make things difficult for them. You have always been sensible. I don't want you to be jealous of your father because of this. One day, I will welcome your family back and reunite you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Huaixi immediately knelt down and sobbed, "The Crown Prince loves me deeply. I know that what I said today will anger the Crown Prince, but I would rather die than let him be deceived and have any mishaps in the future."

Her eyes were full of sincerity, so Lu Linchu could not see any selfishness in her. He sighed deeply and said, "I have thought about what you said. Even though Daning has just been founded, there are still many trivial matters in Liyang that need to be handled. We can't let the Crown Princess handle it alone."

After thinking for a while, he also revealed his concerns: "Chen Lin is leading an army of 200,000 to rule Jinyang, and the armies of the various Aerhe tribes have gathered on the north bank. This is a great opportunity to make achievements. I can't replace him with Prince Zhong, leaving him at the front line, giving him this overwhelming credit, and returning to Liyang to enjoy comfort."

Chu Huaixi understood the prince's temperament. He was always arrogant and was absolutely unwilling to stay in Liyang and give the credit for conquering and destroying the country to Lu Linzhi.

Therefore, it would be ineffective to persuade him with the king's strategies for employing people.

"That is not my intention."

Chu Huaixi smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is surrounded by capable people, and now with the assistance of the father-in-law, she can handle state affairs with ease. The Crown Prince can let the eldest grandson of the Emperor supervise the country and leave His Royal Highness the Prince of Loyalty to fight the enemy at the front line. This will not only help the Lu family army, but also restrain His Royal Highness the Prince of Loyalty."

She knew clearly in her heart that the world of Daning could not do without Lu Linzhi, and it was not an exaggeration to call him the pillar of the country.

But this man seemed to be completely devoted to the Crown Princess. Even when Liyang City was besieged, he had no intention of betraying her and wholeheartedly guarded the Crown Princess.

If one wants to overthrow the Crown Princess and kill Lu Chen, the only way is to get rid of Lu Linzhi first.

Lu Linchu's fear of the fourth brother had already reached the point where he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. After listening to Chu Huaixi's words, he gradually came up with an idea in his mind.

"Huai Xi, you are really smart."

With a sigh, he held Chu Huaixi's hands with pity: "If it weren't for the prejudice of my father and mother against you, your talent and wisdom would be no less than Guiyun, and you could assist her in handling many domestic affairs."

"How can this servant be compared with the Crown Princess?"

Chu Huaixi said softly, "I don't care about the prejudices of His Majesty and the Queen. As long as I can stay by the Crown Prince's side, serve him day and night, and share his worries, I will be satisfied."

The more she said this, the more Lu Linchu sympathized with her, and he vowed, "Huai Xi, I am so lucky to have you devoted to me in this life, and I will never let you down."

After spending some passionate time with her in the house, Lu Linchu, still thinking about leaving the fourth brother at the front line, immediately went to Fu Guiyun's dormitory.

Since Chen Lin was in control of Jinyang, it was a good opportunity to win him back. Lu Linzhi and Fu Ping were both summoned to Fu Guiyun's courtyard.

He originally wanted to listen to Lu Linzhi's advice first and then discuss it with the prince, but he was afraid of rumors, so he summoned his father over.

"I sent someone to get the news that Chen Lin has been looking for the whereabouts of King Jiurong. But since King Jiurong was driven out of Jiurong City by Brother Li, his family has been displaced for a long time. They were secretly slaughtered by people sent by Nalan Yiqing two months ago."

Lu Linzhi said: "Not only that, the family of King Dongyi also died in the encirclement and suppression by Nalan Yiqing. Nalan Yiqing relied on the Alhe Iron Cavalry and was determined to eliminate dissidents and prevent various forces from supporting the royal family of the previous dynasty to become emperors and establish a country. This will make it easy for Daning to win more people's hearts."

"I came here today to look for King Zhong for this very reason."

Fu Guiyun said frankly: "I know that Chen Lin has always been afraid of and respected Prince Zhong. It would be most appropriate for you to persuade Chen Lin's army to surrender. This would also avoid a bloody war."

"It's not difficult to subdue Chen Lin."

Lu Linzhi said: "He surrendered to Song Weizhao before because he had no choice. He was worried that my Lu family would hold him accountable. We just need to show more sincerity to persuade him to surrender, and he will definitely surrender. Why not let the prince go in person?"

Wen smiled and glanced at Fu Guiyun, then continued, "As for Song Weizhao, I think he will never be willing to be manipulated by the Alkh people. If we can persuade him to surrender, the world will return to peace sooner. However, the Crown Prince and Song Weizhao have a deep grudge, so it is better to let this minister try."

But as soon as he finished speaking, a burst of dissatisfied scolding came from outside the door: "Why, Prince Zhong doesn't trust my ability, or is he worried that I am narrow-minded and will cost Song Weizhao's life?"
