However, what surprised Mu Xianyi was that Ling Xuetang couldn't help beating Lou Yuzhang, and also Han Yu and Li Yanguan.

"Xuetang, I give up... Oh, I give up, I give up!!" It was Han Yu who was beaten and ran away.

"Why are you so serious...Xuetang, your martial arts has improved again...No, no, no, stop hitting...Oh my mother!" This is Li Yanguan who was panting and almost fell into the pond.

Lou Yuzhang, Han Yu, and Li Yanguan had no chance to display the power of the lightsaber at all, so they were suppressed and beaten by the fierce Ling Xuetang. it's the same.

Han Yu and Li Yanguan seemed to have smashed the bar and said they had something to do, so they hurriedly made excuses to leave.

There was also Lou Yuzhang who didn't know why, but was taken away by the kind Han Yu.

Mu Xianyi saw that the three of them left in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but feel funny, looked at Ling Xuetang who was packing up the lightsaber, and said, "Is this son-in-law playing tricks on them on purpose?"

Ling Xuetang wiped the light sword, and the light of the sword reflected on his delicate and indifferent face: "It's because they are not as skilled as others."

His tone was light and calm, as if he had no guilt at all.

Mu Xianyi covered the corners of his lips with a handkerchief: "Yes, yes, the skills are not as good as others, but the son-in-law's martial arts are superb, peerless."

Hearing this, Ling Xuetang looked at him slowly, her dark and deep eyes were complicated: "The princess was so pretty when she was in her boudoir, can she chat and laugh happily with anyone?"

Mu Xianyi's smile froze a bit.

What does his son-in-law mean?Does this mean that his words and deeds are too frivolous?

His heart sank, and he quickly explained: "This is your friend... I don't want them to say that I am arrogant and rude, so..."

"What about the second son of the building?" Ling Xuetang's eyes became more and more intense.

"He grew up with me, and I regard him as my biological brother..." Mu Xianyi groaned in his heart, this Lou Yuzhang was going to kill him - he knew he was a man, so he didn't pay attention to his behavior, But in the eyes of his son-in-law, the two of them are too ambiguous! "If you don't like it, I'll let my second cousin come over less in the future."

He hastily added this sentence.

However, Ling Xuetang lowered her gaze: "No need, I just remind the princess that the princess was not married before, but now that she is married, she should pay attention to her words and deeds, so as not to gossip and ruin her reputation."

These words did not sound like the husband was being jealous, but rather like a warning to him to behave like a woman.

Mu Xianyi felt a little unhappy.

Just now, he thought that the son-in-law was jealous of those three unlucky ones, but he didn't expect that he just beat them up.

Just as he was about to say something, Baohan hurried in, bowed to the two of them, and said:

"Princess Qi, son-in-law, it's not good, news came from the front yard that something happened to Lord Zhen Guo in the palace!"

Both husband and wife were stunned.

Mu Xianyi straightened her back, and tightly grasped the handkerchief with one hand: "What happened?"

"The housekeeper in the front yard said that the father-in-law entered the palace to discuss matters. For some reason, he offended His Majesty and ordered His Majesty to lose fifty court staff. King Yu argued hard with His Majesty, and the father-in-law was fined to kneel at the gate of the Yiqing Hall, I don't know how to deal with it in the end!" Baohan frowned, sweat dripped from his forehead, "The young man of the father-in-law hurried back to report that the madam is dying of anxiety, I hope the princess and the son-in-law can think of a way..."

Ling Xuetang's expression suddenly became serious.

Luan Jing, who had been standing by the side and waited on him, frowned upon hearing the words, and looked at Mu Xianyi: "Princess, you are not allowed to engage in politics in the harem, not to mention that you are married now, so how can you say anything about the previous court. See……"

Before she finished speaking, Mu Xianyi interrupted her: "No need to say more." He looked at Ling Xuetang, and said, "You have to find out what it is before you can prescribe the right medicine, son-in-law, I will go with you Go to the palace, you send someone to find out why the father-in-law offended the emperor, so I can think of a countermeasure."

Hearing this, Ling Xuetang took a deep look at him, and nodded: "I'll go to the front yard to appease my mother first, and have a breath with my brother, and I will enter the palace with you later."

"En." Mu Xianyi nodded seriously.

Not long after, the two got into the carriage of the Duke's mansion.

Both of them changed their clothes, after all, they are entering the palace, so they can't be so casual.

"My brother just said that my father entered the palace for the purpose of building the Xingyu Tower." Ling Xuetang frowned, and her black eyes were clearly worried, "Furthermore, my father was not the only one who was fined to kneel, but his position is high and powerful. Leading a group of officials to speak out and remonstrate, so His Majesty must use him as an example."

"Xingyu Tower..." Mu Xianyi murmured for a while, and he understood somewhat in his heart, and said, "I know about Xingyu Tower. I brought a Taoist priest in the palace earlier, named Huang Yuzhen. He said that he was five hundred years old, my father believed in it, and wanted to obtain the technique of immortality, so he was very kind to him, gave him the Dao title of 'Golden Gate Feather', and even made him a national teacher."

"A few days ago, this Huang Yuzhen proposed to ask my father to build a Xingyu tower in the northwest of the palace to observe the sky and make alchemy... At that time, I was persuaded by some officials. My father was busy with scientific research at that time, so I put the Let this matter go." Mu Xianyi said, his eyes became longer and longer, "It seems that this time it was brought up again, so the ministers headed by the father-in-law strongly rebuked it."

Ling Xuetang only returned to the capital in April, and she didn't understand the situation in the capital as well as Mu Xianyi did. Hearing the words, his face was gloomy, and he said: "My father is upright, and I'm afraid he won't give up easily and agree to His Majesty's building."

Mu Xianyi nodded. He had also heard of Ling Jiyuan's strong and upright character from his mother and concubine and others.But now his father believed in Huang Yuzhen, coupled with the fanfare and flattery of some treacherous villains, I am afraid he would not listen to a word.

The insistence of the officials will only incur the anger and severe punishment of his father.

The two of them understood the seriousness of the matter, and fell silent for a while.

The carriage rolled forward and arrived at the Qingxiao Gate of the imperial palace. Mu Xianyi asked someone to stop the carriage at a bend a few feet away from the Qingxiao Gate.

Soon the people sent by Ling Xuetang came to report back, and it turned out that the conflict between the monarch and his ministers really arose because of the Xingyu Tower.Ling Jiyuan and more than [-] civil servants in the court knelt at the entrance of Yiqing Hall. The emperor said that if he agreed, he would go home on his own;

This was obviously a threat, but none of these civil servants flinched. Kneeling there either cried bitterly and persuaded the emperor to withdraw his order, or straightened their backs and said nothing to show that they dared to remonstrate with death.

At this time, King Yu was still in the palace, arguing with the emperor and the ministers who supported the construction of the building. King Yu was a member of the royal family and the right-hand man that Emperor Zhang Wu valued very much, so he would not be forced to kneel outside.

After hearing the news of the report, Mu Xianyi was fully aware of the urgency of the matter—Ling Jiyuan was in the lead, and he was the highest official. If his father wanted to convict him, he must be the first to do it.But the punishment of the court rod is very cruel, if it is really beaten, it will be maimed even if it does not die, his father-in-law Ling Ji is fifty in the first year, how can he afford such suffering?

After hearing the report, Ling Xuetang held onto his knee tightly with one hand, and his knuckles were turning white. He took the lead to break the silence and said, "It is not appropriate for the princess to interfere in this matter. The princess should go back first. I am here waiting for news from my father."

Mu Xianyi saw him looking at her with sincerity on his face, knowing that he really didn't want to involve herself in this matter, her heart warmed up, but she said: "No, your father is me, Mu Xianyi Father, how can I bear to see his old body suffer like this?"

Ling Xuetang looked away, and said: "I think my father knew what would happen to me when he advised me. If my father suffers, in exchange for your Majesty to take back my life, my father will be fulfilled."

"What kind of talk is this?" Mu Xianyi disapproved, "Since ancient times, those who dare to speak out faithfully have to pay the price in blood, but if there is still room for recovery in this matter, why should blood be sacrificed?"

Ling Xuetang turned her head to look at him, as if waiting for him to speak.

"I'm a womanizer, so I can't directly intervene, but I know someone who might be able to resolve this conflict." Mu Xianyi looked back at him, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Who?"

"Naturally... the crown prince."
