Chapter 430 There is someone behind the scenes
"I came to you today because I have something important to tell you." Yu Linlang took out the tabloid from her bag and put it in front of the prince.

"Do you know that there is a pirated newspaper in Beijing that is randomly assigning you?"

Mu Zhao took the tabloid and glanced at it, surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

Yu Linlang looked at him with a look of disappointment, "Don't take it lightly. I tell you, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. Although this is a pirated tabloid, if you don't deal with it in time and let the rumor spread wantonly, you will definitely be the one who suffers in the future."

Mu Zhao nodded obediently, "Okay."

"What's good about that? Aren't you angry at all?" Yu Linlang glanced at him, feeling very sorry for him. "It's all nonsense, and it even involves me!"

"I'm angry." Mu Zhao nodded seriously and held her hand. "You're just talking nonsense. I'll have someone arrest the founder of the tabloid and interrogate him to find out what his intentions are."

Yu Linlang smiled secretly and glanced at him again, "It says here that three years ago..."

"Nonsense." Mu Zhao didn't even wait for her to finish, he immediately shook his head and explained with a serious face, "I remember on the way back to Beijing, I met four rich ladies who asked me for help because their carriages broke down, and five women who fell into the water one after another and asked me to rescue them. There were also two who were attacked by so-called wild beasts and fled in panic."

"That journey was indeed extremely dangerous." The prince frowned and thought hard for a moment, "It seems that we encountered the Third Princess' carriage near the outskirts of Beijing."

"She was indeed surrounded by a group of thieves and bandits who were shouting and yelling for her life. But the bandits were dressed very unprofessionally. They tied the maids around the princess to trees and stuffed only a small clean handkerchief in their mouths. It was obvious that the handkerchief was not something that the bandits had, but something they had prepared themselves."

"Fortunately, I was so weak at the time that I didn't even have the strength to climb out of the carriage to get some fresh air. When I saw so many bandits surrounding us, I quickly turned the convoy around and finally ran out of the hill where the bandits were hiding."

"After that, we took a long detour and found a secluded road to get back to Beijing. It was a very painful journey with many twists and turns."

"Don't you think this is funny? First of all, I am not a craftsman, so how can I repair a carriage? Secondly, I am weak and my life is almost gone. How can I go into the water to save people and fight against wild beasts?"

"I can't even protect myself! How can I have the energy to care about other people's affairs?"

Yu Linlang was almost stunned after hearing this, and it took a long while before she burst into laughter.

I want to say that the prince is a bit miserable. What's the matter?

Yu Linlang suppressed her laughter and asked him, "So nothing actually happened three years ago?"

"Of course not." Mu Zhao said this with a gloomy expression on his face, "I didn't even have time to take a detour to avoid it, how could I have walked into the trap and bumped into Ye Xiaoying?"

Yu Linlang slapped the pirated tabloid with her palm, "This tabloid is full of nonsense, not a single word of it is true! We must catch this person and beat him up to vent our anger."

What about the hero saving the beauty, the outing banquet, and Lord Jade Fox praising the prince and the princess as a perfect match, bah bah bah bah bah!

The prince narrowed his eyes, held her hand and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, I will definitely help you find the man and beat him to death."

Yu Linlang came out of the Xuanping Marquis's residence with a can of black plum juice in her left hand and a bag of various snacks in her right hand. She raised her head and suddenly said to herself, "Why are you helping me to catch the person?"

Isn't this a rubbish tabloid that slanders the prince?
"Dark Star."

"Sir." The phantom-like figure of Dark Star appeared not far from her.

"It's okay, I just called you."

Dark Star: ...

She strolled over and whispered, "Anxing, your master has been called into the palace by the emperor recently. Is it for this marriage?"

"My lord, there is no marriage." Anxing said in a low voice with a serious look, "You don't have to take the third princess's imagination to heart." Yu Linlang thought that my lord didn't take it to heart, but when she looked up, she saw a dark cloud rolling in.

She quickly ran and jumped onto the eaves, flying high and low all the way, shouting, "Oh, run quickly, it's raining heavily."

Another compartment.

Mu Zhao frowned and looked at the "crackling" raindrops falling, then stood in the corridor looking at the gray sky.

If I had known that the rain would come so soon, I should have tried my best to persuade the girl to stay and have dinner before going back.

"Don't worry, Prince. I'm not stupid. I will definitely take shelter nearby in such heavy rain." Chang Qing held back his laughter, ordered someone to clean up the leaves and petals scattered on the ground under the corridor, and persuaded Mu Zhao to go back to his room.

The sky outside suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if a black curtain covered the sky, and the sun and moon lost their light in an instant.

Mu Zhao was somewhat unhappy. It didn't rain early or late that day, but it started to rain heavily as soon as Hu Hu went out. Hu Hu must have been unhappy too.

"Has Dark Star sent any message back?"

Changqing was speechless and hurried to find Huoyu to ask. He learned that the ancestor flew to a teahouse as soon as he arrived at Nanchi Street and jumped into the second floor to avoid the rain. Only then did Mu Zhao feel relieved.

Huoyu curled his lips, "Master, you still have the mood to worry about others. Look at the rumors spreading all over the street. We have sent people to suppress them, but so far there has been little effect. It is obvious that someone is secretly stirring up trouble and wantonly trying to make a big deal out of this matter."

Mu Huaizhi didn't care much and poured himself a cup of tea. "Any progress?"

"That Beijing suburban tabloid was very quick to act. After doing the job, they ran away. Although we arrested a lot of tabloid clerks, most of them knew nothing when asked."

"Only a small steward provided us with an effective clue." Huoyu paused and looked at Mu Zhao, "I wonder if we can catch the boss of Baozhai tonight."

"Ah."

Huoyu saw that his master looked calm and couldn't help but feel anxious for him, "Your Highness, you are not anxious at all."

Chang Qing glanced at his master quietly, "My Lord, do you think this was planned by Princess Anyang?"

Mu Zhao put down his teacup and smiled faintly, "She must be involved in this matter, but what I find strange is that with her ability, she doesn't seem to be able to do such a great thing."

"Such a stupid person would usually just hire some third-rate thugs on the street to spread some rumors. How could she even consider publishing a fake tabloid to glorify herself?"

It's a bit unbelievable.

Huoyu drooped his brows and clasped his fists in a salute, "Sir, I will go check it out right away."

Mu Zhao waved his hand, and Huoyu immediately disappeared in front of the two of them.

Chang Qing was quite worried, "Sir, if the Third Princess continues to pester you, it will not be good for your reputation."

Mu Zhao's lips curved slightly, and a cold arc appeared. "Changqing, tell me, if Ye Xiaoying died, can this play... still be performed?"

Chang Qing didn't dare to reply. His master was very thoughtful and he couldn't guess anything.

But there was one thing he was quite clear about: this third princess might have really pissed off her master!
