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

As soon as the funeral arrangements were made, Fu Guiyun brought Lu Qingchen and Lu Qingyu to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and instructed Ye Zhicheng and Fu Ping to assist Lu Qingchen in taking care of the funeral arrangements.

When You Dian brought Imperial Physician Liu back, Fu Guiyun realized something was wrong when he saw his solemn expression.

He called the two to a quiet place and asked them hurriedly, "How is Prince Zhong?"

Imperial Physician Liu sighed: "I'm afraid..."

Fu Guiyun felt a little panicked when he heard these two words, and quickly stopped him: "We must heal Prince Zhong no matter what we do."

Although what Lu Linzhi said today was a bit extreme, after learning the truth, Fu Guiyun could probably understand his difficulties.

I think he already suspected that his father-in-law died at the hands of Lu Linchu, and was worried that it would be dangerous for me to go to Wengcheng, so he wanted me to stay in Liyang.

But if he had good intentions, why did he say it in such a tone? It made it seem as if he had a lot of resentment towards me, as if I owed him a lot of favors.

This is also where Fu Guiyun got angry.

She was extremely sad. After giving instructions to Imperial Physician Liu, she was supported by Nanny Jiang and Qinglu and went back to Chuxian Palace.

Nanny Jiang ordered people to send over all the wills made by the Queen, most of which were lists of her dowry. Except for some farms and shops that had not yet been handed over to Fu Guiyun, there was an inheritance of about 60 million taels hidden in Huayi City, all of which were entrusted to her.

Looking at each item in the will, the mother-in-law's careful instructions were clear, even down to the details on how to mobilize and command the Ye family servants in the six cities when they arrived in Huayi City.

Thinking of how generous and kind she was when she was alive, Fu Guiyun couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in the corners of his eyes.

She silently wiped the wet corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then saw Nanny Jiang handing her the last will.

"The Queen said that after her death, if the Crown Prince ascends the throne and confer a title on Du Jiuniang, or even worse, violates the will of the previous emperor and dares to confer a title on Chu Huaixi, he cannot worship in front of her spirit, and he cannot confer a posthumous title on the Queen in his name. The Queen's spirit tablet will not be enshrined in the ancestral temple with these two people."

Madam Jiang knelt down and begged, "Please ask the Crown Princess to immediately send this edict from the Queen to Wengcheng and inform the clan members."

Fu Guiyun knew that this will was a way for his mother-in-law to hinder Chu Huaixi, but after all, Du Jiuniang was the biological mother of Qingchen and Qingyu, and he must not let the two little ones feel jealous because of this.

Only by thoroughly investigating Du Jiuniang's background can the two children feel relieved.

"Madam Jiang, go tell Lu Yan to ask Ye An to lead the Huayi City death squad to Liyang to defend against the Liren Gang."

The Liren Gang is currently gathering in Liyang City, which is not only of no help to Lu Linzhi, but will only increase Lu Linchu's suspicion.

The best way to protect Lu Linzhi was to transfer the gang back to the fiefdom, and she would go to Wengcheng as soon as possible.

If such an unfilial and unkind person is allowed to rule the world, sooner or later the kingdom of Da Ning will be overthrown.

However, Lu Linchu is now in power and has subdued Lu Linfeng and Chen Lin. I am afraid that the conquest of Dayan is just around the corner.

If Lu Linzhi cannot be settled down as soon as possible and the situation cannot be reversed, when he returns to Liyang, Lu Linzhi and the Liren Gang will probably be destroyed.

Thinking of this, she continued to instruct Madam Jiang, "If Lu Yan refuses, then you can tell him that I am willing to help him transfer the people back to Prince Zhong's fiefdom, but there is only one condition. After I and the eldest grandson of the emperor go north, Ye An, the Lord of Huayi City, will guard Liyang."

Nanny Jiang understood what she meant. The Crown Princess had thought of a compromise. Although Prince Zhong would be left in Liyang, the people who would monitor him would be replaced by the Crown Princess's own people. This would be extremely beneficial in the current tense situation.

Fu Guiyun had other intentions in transferring Ye An to Liyang. She leaned over to Nanny Jiang's ear and whispered, "The Queen Mother's will cannot be sent to the front line for the time being. When City Lord Ye enters the city, Nanny will tell him to find Hu An's whereabouts as soon as possible and then make a decision."

"Yes."

Nanny Jiang left immediately.

Fu Guiyun thought about it for a while, and felt that it was a bit strange that her mother-in-law knew about her father-in-law's death. She called Cheng Kui and asked, "Apart from Uncle Ye, who else has come to visit the Queen's bedroom these days?"

Cheng Kui thought for a moment and said, "No one else, except Jin'er who was beside the Queen. She said a few days ago that Patriarch Ye seemed to be going to Changchun Palace more often than usual."

"Jin'er?"

Although Fu Guiyun often came to Changchun Palace, he was not impressed by this man.

However, the people who served the mother-in-law were almost all her own maids who came with her dowry. Even those who did odd jobs were her confidants, so there was nothing to worry about.

But thinking about that sentence carefully, she suddenly became alert: "My mother is very careful. I asked you to come here every day to watch over me, which has already made her suspicious. Uncle Ye is rarely in Liyang, but he often comes to the palace these days. If no one mentioned this with ulterior motives, my mother might not be suspicious. Jin'er's words undoubtedly made her more suspicious."

After she finished speaking, she immediately ordered: "Go and check carefully, who is closer between Jin'er and the Lu family over the years."

The one who benefits the most from forcing the mother-in-law to death and exacerbating the conflict between Lu Linchu and Lu Linzhi is the first wife. She has already realized in her heart that this matter is closely related to the first wife.

As expected, Cheng Kui went to investigate secretly, and the information she found was roughly the same as she expected: "Jin'er had angered Prince Li in her early years, but Prince Li did not vent his anger on her. Instead, he generously asked the Queen to save this lowly maid. Based on my understanding of Prince Li, he is not a kind and benevolent master who sympathizes with his servants and knows how to cherish women."

"That's not surprising."

Fu Guiyun nodded and said, "Prince Li was often mentioned by my mother when she was alive. He is very ambitious. I'm afraid he is just hoping that the Crown Prince and Prince Zhong will fight to the death so that he can reap the benefits."

Cheng Kui asked: "What should we do now?"

"Don't try to scare the enemy."

Fu Guiyun ordered: "It is not easy for Daning to be in the current situation. Since he wants to reap the benefits, let's just let him have this extravagant thought and coax him to help Daning pacify Jiangbei. Later, we can slowly settle the old accounts."

Just as the two of them had come to an agreement, Nanny Tong came in and said, "Crown Princess, Princess Li is here to offer her condolences and wants to see you."

"Xuan."

After Fu Guiyun sat down at the coffee table, he saw Cui Ying being led in.

After not seeing her for a year, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and looked sad. There was obvious hostility in her eyes when she looked at Fu Guiyun.

Although Fu Guiyun knew everything, he still asked calmly, "How has Princess Li been doing in Jiurong City this year?"

"Thanks to my sister-in-law, I am doing well."

Cui Ying walked over to her and sat down with a forced smile, which stunned everyone.

She would never have dared to be so disrespectful in the past.

Fu Guiyun blinked and said, "It seems that Princess Li is very dissatisfied with me for summoning you to Liyang?"

"How dare you."

Cui Ying said, "Your Majesty is my adoptive father. I am blessed by God and have the blessing of today. Isn't it natural for me to come here to pay my respects to my adoptive father?"

With a faint smile, she took a package from Yu Mama and handed it over: "It's just right. I came here today and prepared a gift for you, sister-in-law. Please take a look."

Fu Guiyun took the package, opened it, and saw an ink painting inside, and the person in the painting was exactly herself.

"what for?"

Fu Guiyun frowned: "Why did Princess Li draw a portrait of me for no reason?"

"How can my little sister have such talent?"

Cui Ying said coldly: "Crown Princess, why do you have to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth? Don't you know who painted this portrait?"
