Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

It is difficult to kill, but it is still possible to injure the protagonist.

And Chu Yao's beautiful face showed anger: "Is a man like him worthy of the throne? My husband, there is someone of my concubine in the Fourth Prince's mansion. Do you want to leak this matter?"

"Oh? I didn't expect Yao'er to have so many people!" He pinched her cheek with a smile.

Chu Yao lowered her head shyly: "I do have a lot of people, my husband can use them if he needs them, but they are all women, they do have martial arts skills, but they are not high, they can only do some things to gather information."

Seeing Chu Yao expose her men, Lu Zhanyan felt relieved, as long as he could use them for his own benefit.

"Yao'er is indeed different from other women. I am lucky to marry you."

Chu Yao's ears were burning with anger, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said coquettishly, "I am also happy to marry you."

This is the husband I chose personally, how could I not be happy?

"Yao'er, I don't know why the Fourth Prince has repeatedly targeted my husband. If we can let the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince know this news, I think we won't need to take action." Lu Zhanyan said in a deep voice.

Chu Yao immediately understood that her husband was planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

"Don't worry, my husband. Yao'er will definitely let this news reach the ears of the two princes quietly."

"Okay, you must be exhausted last night! You should rest first. I will go and discuss things with my brother and two staff members, and then I will come over for dinner."

"Okay, husband, please take care of yourself too."

Chu Yao felt so distressed when she saw the bruise under her handsome husband's eyelid.

As soon as Lu Zhanyan left, Chu Yao instructed Yuqi, who was in charge of the palace staff, "Find a way to quietly pass the news that the Fourth Prince was missing a finger to the Second and Fifth Princes."

Yuqi agreed immediately. She and Zhihua stayed up all night last night. Later she heard Siqin's story about what happened and was frightened to death. Fortunately, the princess was fine and she and the prince successfully consummated their marriage, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

She hated the Fourth Prince who plotted against her master to the core. Now that she could take revenge, she naturally responded positively.

Lingyayuan

Lu Zhanyan asked someone to invite his younger brother and two aides to discuss things in the study.

Seeing that everyone had a bruise under their eyelids, they all felt relieved.

Among the four people, Lu Zhanyan fought with the princess until dawn, while Lu Zhanxing returned to Liuliyuan and immediately called Liu Xu back. He sent Tingxue to the farm overnight. In addition, he felt weak all over after taking the Chinese medicine and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Mu Qingli tossed and turned because she fell in love with Mr. Lu.

However, when Xiao Lanjue returned to the courtyard and saw his cousin, he completely lost sleep at the thought that she was going to marry another man.

Everyone has their own thoughts, but no one speaks them out.

"I think everyone knows what the Fourth Prince planned last night, so I won't go into details. But last night I had someone pretend to be Mr. Mu and cut off one of his fingers, which cut off his path to becoming the crown prince. But there has been no news from the Fourth Prince, so he must be trying to hide the truth."

The disabled prince has lost the qualification to inherit the throne, but it is obvious that the Fourth Prince does not want to give up.

Mu Qingli: "..."

Well, he has been wanted anyway, and he would be happy to take the blame if it could make the Fourth Prince lose the qualification to compete for the throne.

Lu Zhanxing perked up a little: "Is this true?"

In modern times, people can reattach their fingers, but this should not be possible in ancient times, right?

Mu Qingli immediately said, "Prince, you should immediately inform the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince of this matter in secret. Their people should not let us down."

Xiao Lanjue also nodded in agreement.

"Well, this prince has already sent someone to notify them secretly."

It’s a good opportunity to test my wife’s abilities.

But at this time, in the Fourth Prince's mansion, the teacup remnants were scattered all over the floor: "Waste, waste, if you can't take over this prince's hand, you will all be buried with him!"

A hint of coldness and murderous intent flashed in the fourth prince's eyes.

The invited court doctor was sweating profusely, not caring about the blood on his head from the porcelain that hit him: "Fourth Prince, let alone me, even the doctors in the Imperial Hospital may not be able to reattach your finger. No one has the medical skills to regrow a severed finger. Please have mercy on me, Your Highness!"

Tan Ling immediately said: "Your Highness, the best plan for now is to find a way to conceal this matter and not let His Majesty know that you..."

"Now there is no one who can reattach my finger. What do you think I should do? This damned Mu Qingli, I will torture him to death myself sooner or later!"

The Fourth Prince had a gloomy face, his eyes were full of regret and anger. He really regretted that if he had known this would happen, he would not have recruited him earlier. Now not only was his life shortened, but a finger was also broken.

This is all Mu Qingli's fault, how can he not hate her?

"Your Highness, I have a solution..."

The Fourth Prince's face was gloomy, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He was about to ask Tan Ling to speak out, but he saw that the court doctor was still there, and said coldly: "Shut your mouth!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The court doctor nodded repeatedly. The lives of his family were in the hands of the Fourth Prince, so how could he dare to speak carelessly?

After the court physician left, Tan Ling leaned close to the Fourth Prince's ear and whispered his thoughts.

The fourth prince's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly: "Yu Zhong, thanks to you!"

Every time I encountered a critical moment, Tan Ling would step forward to find a solution. If it weren't for his advice, I really wouldn't know what to do.

Tan Ling looked serious and said sincerely, "It is my duty to provide advice to Your Highness."

"It just so happens that I have other things to deal with during this period of time, so I will leave the affairs of the Prince's Mansion to you to arrange."

"Yes, I will not let Your Highness down."

Tan Ling was very excited, so he wouldn't be polite.

He had long coveted the Fourth Prince's concubines. Each of them was as beautiful as a flower and had her own unique characteristics. When the Fourth Prince was not around, they would be his home turf.

Poor Fourth Prince, he still doesn’t know that he has a green patch on his head.

The news of the Fourth Prince's severed fingers did inadvertently reach the ears of the two princes, but they did not act rashly. Instead, they first inquired about the news, deliberately met him at the place where the Fourth Prince appeared, and then secretly peeked at his right hand. When they found that his fingers were intact, they realized that the news was false.

They were all secretly thankful that they did not act in advance, otherwise they would have been disgusted by their father for making trouble out of nothing.

Lu Zhanyan waited for a few days and found that everything was calm. He asked Princess Yaoguang to send someone to investigate, only to find out that the Fourth Prince's hand was intact. What was going on?

So he called An Yi over to ask him about it.

"I was going to poke his eyes out, but the Fourth Prince dodged quickly. I lost most of my men before accidentally cutting off his finger. I was not mistaken. One of his fingers was indeed cut off."

Seeing An Yi's determined expression, Lu Zhanyan believed it.

When Lu Zhanxing heard that the Fourth Prince's hand was intact, he became a little uncertain. Did his brother succeed in sending someone to cut off the Fourth Prince's fingers?

But there is no way that his brother would lie to him, so the only problem lies with the Fourth Prince.

"Brother, could it be that there are fakes?" This was the only question that Lu Zhanxing thought of.

Lu Zhanyan nodded: "I have the same guess. The Fourth Prince must have found someone to disguise himself and stay in the Fourth Prince's mansion. Moreover, this person knows the Fourth Prince's habits very well."

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing was stunned. Who could be the person who knew the Fourth Prince best?

It couldn't be Tan Ling. That man was tall and thin. The Fourth Prince was not as tall as Tan Ling. It couldn't be him pretending to be Tan Ling. Then who could it be?

Who else knows the Fourth Prince better? Whose figure is similar to the Fourth Prince?

Seeing Lu Zhanxing's sad face, Mu Qingli couldn't help but shook her head and chuckled, "Why do you have to worry about who it is, Mr. Lu?"

When Lu Zhanxing heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up: "You are right, why bother?"

The two looked at each other and smiled...

Lu Zhanyan, who was standing by, watched the two of them stare at each other, and his heart sank. These two...

Oh no, did my brother attack Mr. Mu?

No, Mr. Mu is not someone she can control.

Lu Zhanyan clenched his fist, brought it to his lips and coughed twice, attracting all their attention.

Xiao Lanjue, who was still struggling over whether to confess his feelings, suddenly raised his eyes, looked left and right, what did the three of them say?
