In the court, due to Lin Moyun's anger, it suddenly became quiet, and only the heavy breathing of the crowd could be heard.

Lin Wanwan still stood there quietly, without saying a word, and her eyes swept over the crowd.

She looked at Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe, Second Prince Lin Xiaoran, and Third Prince Lin Gao, all of whom had sad expressions on their faces.

Lin Xiaohe stepped forward and said, "Father, I and your subjects should go to pay our respects to Prince Yong."

Lin Xiaoran hurriedly followed: "What the prince said is absolutely right."

Lin Gao also bowed and said, "Father, although my fourth brother has difficulty walking, I will accompany him to Prince Yong's Mansion to pay my respects to Prince Yong."

Lin Moyun looked at them and nodded, "Yes, someone come."

An eunuch bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty~~"

Lin Moyun looked at the ministers and said, "Pass on my order. Prince Yong's body will be transported back to Prince Yong's Mansion. Princess An Ning's funeral will be handled by Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan. He will be buried with great ceremony next to Princess Jingyue's mausoleum.

Notify the Fifth Princess Lin Meihua and the Seventh Princess Lin Menghua to go together and pay their respects to Prince Yong."

Prime Minister Su Mingde knelt down and said sadly: "I am willing to go together to express my condolences."

All the ministers knelt down one after another and said, "We, the ministers, are willing to go together."

Only Lin Wanwan was standing alone in the court.

She looked at the crowd's reactions.

She finally understood with all the grief in her heart: her uncle, Prince Yong, was dead.

Later, she couldn't hear what Lin Moyun said to the ministers.

Suddenly, Li Feng, the Minister of Yuanma Temple, was among the court officials. Before the ministers could react, he had already rushed onto the platform!

He pulled out the dagger in his hand, his eyes bloodshot, and stabbed straight at Lin Moyun, shouting:

"You tyrant, give me your life!"

Seeing him approaching with a knife, Lin Moyun was shocked and hurriedly stood up and left the throne.

But before Li Feng met Lin Moyun.

The secret guards beside Lin Moyun jumped out like lightning. The six secret guards were dressed in black, with strong bodies and quick movements.

Five of them surrounded Lin Moyun and protected him.

The other one dodged Li Feng's flying dagger, then reached out and grabbed Li Feng's wrist and twisted it hard.

Li Feng felt pain and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Li Feng did not give up. He struggled frantically, trying to break free from the secret guards and rushed towards Lin Moyun again.

However, the secret guard would not give him a chance. He raised his leg and kicked Li Feng hard in the chest.

Li Feng groaned, his body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

Lin Moyun witnessed this scene, his brows furrowed and he was furious.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Drag it away quickly!

Severe torture!

We must make him confess the mastermind!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The secret guards dragged Li Feng out.

Lin Moyun straightened his dragon robe, sat back on the chair, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "My dear ministers, you are all frightened. Let's withdraw from the court."

After the court was dismissed, Ouyang Qingyu saw Lin Wanwan's lonely figure and his heart was filled with pity.

Qin Jun drove the carriage towards the Princess's Mansion.

Inside the carriage.

Seeing that she still looked deep and silent, Ouyang Qingyu comforted her softly, "Princess, don't be too sad."

Lin Wanwan turned her head and looked at Ouyang Qingyu, her voice cold and clear: "I must find out the truth about the cause of Prince Yong's death."

Ouyang Qingyu frowned upon hearing this, and advised with a worried look:

"Princess, don't investigate the matter of Prince Yong any further. Prince Yong has a special status. Now that he is gone, the situation in the court is complicated. Li Feng, the Minister of the Imperial Horse Temple, assassinated Your Majesty in the Golden Palace.

Prince Yong was soon charged with treason."

Lin Wanwan bit her lip, anger flashing in her eyes: "Is Prince Yong really plotting a rebellion? It's not certain yet, right?"

Ouyang Qingyu held Lin Wanwan's shoulders, his eyes earnest:

"Princess, if you act rashly, you may fall into someone else's trap. Now in the court, various forces are secretly surging. If you are not careful, you will become the target of public criticism."

Lin Wanwan looked at him firmly, "Prince Yong treated me well, I just want to find out the truth, whether he was a rebel or was framed.

This princess should investigate the matter for him and return his favor.

How can you let Prince Yong die in such an unclear way? "

Ouyang Qingyu remained silent again.

Lin Wanwan's gaze fell on his face, and her rationality, which had been swallowed up by sadness, gradually returned.

She seemed to have noticed something, and frowned slightly, thinking about Ouyang Qingyu's words, and became a little suspicious: "You don't let me investigate further. I heard about Prince Yong's death. What do you know?"

Ouyang Qingyu released his hand from her shoulder and remained silent.

An idea suddenly popped up in Lin Wanwan's mind. She stared at his expression sharply and said coldly, "Is this matter related to you?"

Ouyang Qingyu smiled bitterly: "I still can't hide it from the princess."

"Pa!" A loud slap hit Ouyang Qingyu's face.

"Why did you do this?" Lin Wanwan asked angrily, "Don't you know he is my uncle? Who told you to do this?"

Ouyang Qingyu nodded: "Of course I know the relationship between the princess and Prince Yong.

I did all this for the princess.

The mastermind is His Majesty Lin Moyun, he asked me to do it.

Even if I didn't do it, he would arrange for others to take action against Prince Yong.

I……"

"Stop the car." Lin Wanwan's voice came clearly from the carriage.

Qin Jun immediately pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

Lin Wanwan stood up. Although she knew that Lin Moyun had thousands of reasons and ways to kill Prince Yong.

but!

At this moment, she couldn't bear to hear or think about these things.

Ouyang Qingyu hurriedly grabbed Lin Wanwan's hand and explained, "Princess, Prince Yong is willing to die. Lin Moyun will not let him go."

Lin Wanwan turned around, her eyes were so dark that you couldn't see the bottom of them, she looked at him indifferently, and then said coldly:

"You didn't stop me? You didn't tell me."

She shook off Ouyang Qingyu's hand, lifted the curtain and left a cold word.

"Ouyang Qingyu, don't think you can do these things just because I like you a little bit.

Let’s break up.”

After saying that, Lin Wanwan got out of the car without looking back.

Break up!

Ouyang Qingyu, who was in the carriage, felt as if the sky was falling.

His eyes dimmed in an instant, filled with endless sadness.

He clenched his teeth and tried hard to control his emotions, but the tears in his eyes still flowed down his cheeks.

Qin Jun didn't dare to drive the carriage, and asked, "Sir, are you not going to chase?"

Ouyang Qingyu's voice was choked, hoarse and broken: "It's useless."

Qin Jun asked again: "Sir, why do you admit that Prince Yong's drowning was related to you?"

Ouyang Qingyu gradually calmed down and said, "I don't want to deceive the princess, and... the princess is smart, I can't deceive her for long, it's better to tell her earlier."

"Then..." Qin Jun hesitated and said, "Why don't you tell the princess that the one who died was only Prince Yong's substitute."

"I really don't know. It's more realistic than acting." Ouyang Qingyu said, "Whether Prince Yong is really dead or not, Your Majesty will know by looking at the princess's reaction."

"But..." Qin Jun wanted to say something when he saw Ouyang Qingyu lift the curtain and get off the carriage.

"Qin Jun, you go back first."

Qin Jun nodded and watched Ouyang Qingyu silently following behind Lin Wanwan, keeping a distance with a sad back.

He withdrew his gaze, sighed for their relationship, and then drove away in the carriage.

On her way back to the Princess's Mansion, Lin Wanwan happened to pass by Zui Xiang Lou.

In Zui Xiang Lou, Su Ye was eating shortbread and fanning himself with a fan. He was sitting by the window, bored.

His eyes casually swept towards the street outside the window, just in that unintentional glance.

His gaze suddenly froze, and he saw Lin Wanwan walking slowly and alone on the road.

"Hmm? Princess?"

Su Ye saw that her steps were heavy and slow, as if every step was carrying a thousand pounds of weight.

Su Ye's heart suddenly tightened and he stood up in a hurry, knocking a plate of pastries onto the table with the folding fan in his hand.

He rushed down the stairs in two steps, his footsteps were so rapid that a breeze blew up, and his clothes fluttered. He ran to Lin Wanwan's side, his eyes scanning her face eagerly.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were filled with deep sadness, as if covered by a layer of cold haze.

Princess, she is unhappy and looks very sad. Su Ye's heart seemed to be deeply pierced by countless needles, and it hurt so much that it became difficult for him to breathe.

His voice trembled slightly, and he asked with concern: "Princess, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"

Ouyang Qingyu, who was following from a distance, saw this and glanced at Su Ye beside Lin Wanwan. He clenched his fists, but could only clench and unclench them in vain.

But he felt at ease with Su Ye accompanying him.

Ouyang Qingyu took one last look at Lin Wanwan's back and turned away.

Ah Si in Zui Xiang Lou was just using the toilet and when he came over he couldn't see his young master, so he hurriedly looked out the window.

Seeing Su Ye and Lin Wanwan together, he ran downstairs and followed them.

Su Ye stopped in front of Lin Wanwan and said, "Princess, what happened? Who is so bold as to bully you?"

Lin Wanwan stood there like a silent statue. She bit her lips and did not answer Su Ye's question.

Seeing that she was silent, Su Ye realized that the situation was serious. He looked around, frowned and asked:

"That's strange, why didn't Ouyang Qingyu send the princess back? Isn't he the one who likes to send the princess back home the most?"

Hearing the name "Ouyang Qingyu", Lin Wanwan's face became even gloomier, as if shrouded in dark clouds.

Su Ye saw Lin Wanwan's expression and guessed something. He rolled up his sleeves and said:

"Ouyang Qingyu, is he sick?

Did he bully you? Princess!

I've disliked him for a long time!

Next time I see him, I'll help you kill him!"

Ah Si heard this from behind and quickly replied, "Sir, Lord Ouyang is the Minister of Justice. If you hit Lord Ouyang, you will be arrested and put in jail. Last time, he said he would arrest you..."

"Ah Si, shut up!" Su Ye hit Ah Si on the head with his folding fan and said angrily:

“What are you talking about!

He bullied the princess!

I will beat him up, I will beat him up!

Would this young master be afraid of going to jail?"

Seeing that Lin Wanwan was still talking, Su Ye asked in confusion: "Could it be that the princess is so sad, not because of Ouyang Qingyu?"

Lin Wanwan nodded and said softly, "Because of Prince Yong."

Su Ye cursed without thinking: "Then Prince Yong must be sick! He must be bullying the princess and making her unhappy..."

"Pa!" Lin Wanwan slapped Su Ye on the face with a loud and crisp slap.

Su Ye touched his face, then leaned closer and said to her with a smile:

"It doesn't hurt, Princess.

If the princess can relieve her anger,

Do you want to hit it a few more times?

Let off some steam?"

After hearing Su Ye's words, Lin Wanwan burst into tears and cried out in grief: "Prince Yong, he drowned."

When Su Ye heard this, he remembered that Prince Yong was Lin Wanwan's uncle, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Snapped!"

He slapped himself and said, "I am sick!"

This action stunned Ah Si who was standing next to him!

Then, Su Ye smiled brightly at Lin Wanwan, "Princess, if you are unhappy, take out your anger on me, don't hold it in."

Su Ye had never thought that the always cold and stubborn Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, would actually let down all her guard in front of him today and cry so heartbreakingly.

Looking at Lin Wanwan's body trembling slightly and sobbing softly.

Su Ye's heart suddenly tightened and he was instantly panicked.

He had a look of heartache, with his hands hanging in the air. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gently hugged Lin Wanwan.

He could feel her body trembling.

"Princess, don't cry, don't cry, I'm here."

Lin Wanwan was in Su Ye's arms. She resisted at first, but eventually, out of sadness, she leaned on his chest and burst into tears.
