After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

Chapter 88 The Choice of the Pawn
Lin Youyi looked at Mu Zheng leisurely with earnest eyes.

Mu Zheng was speechless, although he felt displeased, he did as Lin Youyi wished and nodded lightly.

Lin Youyi panted for a moment, and after she calmed down, she continued.

"My lord, today's matter should not be done by the people of the Hou family! I implore you, my daughter, don't pursue it anymore..."

"Don't hold it accountable? You have been hurt like this, but you tell me not to hold it accountable? Impossible! This king said that no matter who it is, it is not allowed to hurt you!"

"My lord..."

Lin Youyi weakly raised her hand, and slowly pressed Mu Zheng's arm, but because of her weakness, she only touched his sleeve.

Mu Zheng grabbed Lin Youyi's wrist nervously, and put his arm on his.

Marquis Chengyang saw it in his eyes and was shocked in his heart. He couldn't figure it out. When did Lin Youyi get so acquainted with Prince Rui Mu Zheng?
Even... a little intimacy!

"My lord, my daughter said yesterday that although the sisters in the family have ulterior motives, they don't want to be involved with me. Therefore, they will not tamper with my dancing shoes."

"You've said it all, they have ulterior motives! Today, whether you can wear that dress is still unknown. They are just afraid that one plan will not work, so they will make another plan! When the time comes, there will be Marquis Chengyang to support them and plead for mercy." , even gossip, you have to be afraid of the Hou Mansion! What do they have to be afraid of?"

The more Mu Zheng talked, the more angry he became, the more he talked, the more annoyed he became!
It seemed as though he wished he could pull out Xiao Qinyao and Xiao Muxue right now, and then whip them severely to vent his anger!

"No... my lord, please...be quiet!"

Lin Youyi struggled to explain, but couldn't help but clutch Mu Zheng's arm nervously.

Seeing her anxious look, Mu Zheng frowned instantly in distress.

Then, he sighed softly, and patted the back of Lin Youyi's hand slowly to show comfort.

"Okay, don't worry, just speak slowly."

"That day, when the three sisters from the Hou Mansion came to deliver things to me, I was always there and never left, so they absolutely had no chance to tamper with my dancing shoes. What's more, my dancing shoes and Everyone is different, if it is not premeditated and carefully prepared, it is impossible for the trick to succeed!"

Lin Youyi said, adjusted her breathing slightly, and continued.

"Besides, my little girl suspects that this matter is not aimed at me. What I'm afraid of is..."

As Lin Youyi said, her gaze slowly turned to Marquis Chengyang.

In an instant, both Mu Zheng and Cheng Yanghou wanted to understand what she meant.

Lin Youyi is a noble lady appointed by the emperor to perform dances, and her success or failure also represents the face of the Chengyang Hou Mansion.

To put it more deeply, Concubine Xiao also came from Chengyanghou's mansion, so even if Chengyanghou is not involved in party disputes, the relationship between him and the third prince is closer than any other prince.

Not only that, but Lin Youyi's reputation is now well-known, and everyone has known about it for a long time.

Based on this, a caring person can easily think that Lin Youyi is the trump card used by the Chengyang Houfu to win favor and seize power in front of the emperor!

What's more, Lin Youyi's free dance in front of the imperial court this time was strongly recommended by Concubine Xiao.

Everything looks so logical, if it fits the festival.

Therefore, what the person behind the scenes really wanted to deal with was not Lin Youyi, a little-known little girl, but an eyeliner that Chengyang Houfu and Concubine Xiao were about to bury next to the emperor.

He wanted to take this opportunity to kill the "conspiracy" between Chengyanghou's Mansion and Concubine Xiao in the cradle!
As long as Lin Youyi's idle dance in front of the imperial court fails, no matter what tricks Chengyanghou and Concubine Xiao conspired, will come to naught!

Therefore, in the final analysis, this matter is not a personal grievance, but an extension of factional disputes and court strife!
This time, it's not that Lin Youyi didn't want to pursue it, but she didn't dare to pursue it.

She was afraid that things would get worse, so she followed the clues to investigate, no matter whether she could find the person who had thugs against her, it would be a big mess and it would be difficult to end it!

Just imagine, once a prince or concubine is involved.

Then, Lin Youyi, the most insignificant pawn who is as light as a feather, will instantly become the target of public criticism!

In Mu Zheng's words, if there is no Lin Youyi, then those people will not make mistakes!

In this way, all faults can only be attributed to Lin Youyi!

Lin Youyi is not a living Bodhisattva, and she never thought of repaying grievances with virtue and forgiving those who deliberately harmed her.

This time, she insisted on keeping silent and calming things down because she was worried and couldn't bear the evil consequences brought about by the truth of the matter.

Of course, Lin Youyi has her thoughts, but she can only order as much as she wants to eat.

Therefore, both Mu Zheng and Cheng Yanghou thought that Lin Youyi was acting out of the overall situation and had to yield to the situation.

After thinking about these things clearly, Mu Zheng and Chengyang Hou looked at each other tacitly.

"Little girl, what time is this, and you still have the heart to think about others! This king said that he will protect you well, so no matter who it is, as long as he dares to offend this king Ni Lin, don't blame this king for not allowing him! "

Lin Youyi's mouth was dry, but she just couldn't persuade Mu Zheng.

"My lord, you are so stubborn, where do you want to put the Hou Mansion?"

"Youyi, don't be afraid, neither is this Marquis! The ones to be afraid of are the treacherous people!"

"Master Hou, if the incident really breaks out, someone will definitely come forward to take the blame! At that time, under the pretext, do you think that the matter of the dress can still be hidden? The emperor would not want to see the harem restless and the front court turbulent The old lady would not want to see that something happened to the younger generation in the family!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Youyi gave a faint wry smile.

"My little girl also doesn't like that they always bully me and set me up! If you really love me, then we'll go back, close the door and beat them hard!"

"Youyi, this Marquis is the generation of those unfilial daughters, thank you very much!"

Why didn't the Marquis of Chengyang know that with Mu Zheng's backing, Lin Youyi could do whatever she wanted!

But she still chooses to make big things into small things, and put the Hou Mansion first in everything!
Her consideration of the overall situation and her deep understanding of righteousness made Chengyang Hou ashamed!
"You want to write it off with just a word of thanks? Lord Hou, you don't seem like the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong!"

"Don't worry, my lord. When I return, I will clean up the inner court and never let this kind of thing happen again."

On that day, before the palace banquet was over, Marquis Chengyang escorted Lin Youyi back to the Marquis Mansion.

Mother Lin saw Lin Youyi jumping into the palace, but was so weak that she was carried back. Immediately, her eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't say a word because of her sobs.

She insisted on guarding Lin Youyi, unwilling to leave even an inch.

Chengyanghou couldn't persuade her, so he had no choice but to let her go.
