Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 54 Two News
The weather in Kyoto is dry, which makes people anxious and angry.

After coming out of the palace, I could finally rest for a while.

However, early the next morning, Chen Jue came to look for her again, which made her feel relieved again.

"I came to you to tell you two things."

Originally, Lin Qiyuan blocked the door and refused to let him in, but the Ouchi master beside Chen Jue was still there, so he couldn't stop him at all. He could only sit in the room with a dark face and listen to Chen Jue's words.

"Brother Qianjun was assassinated on his way back to the capital. Fortunately, the guards around him are capable. He has broken out of the siege and will arrive in the capital soon."

Lin Miaofu nodded, perhaps as expected, and did not appear too surprised: "Could it be someone sent by the Duke?"

"I don't know, they are all dead soldiers."

"The second thing?"

"Right now, there are rumors on the streets that Brother Qianjun is not the son of the Duke of Guo, but the child of Mrs. Chiang's affair... and that you and Brother Qianjun are secretly working together to smear Liang Yuqi."

how come?
It was obvious that the matter had been revealed in advance by me, so why did it still develop as it did in the previous life? Or rather, the Duke of Guo originally planned it like this, but he just saw that the matter was exposed, so he launched an attack in advance!

Seeing Lin Miaofu deep in thought, Chen Jue didn't say anything and just drank tea.

Lin Qiyuan stood up and walked around, having something to say in his heart.

In the end, he couldn't hold it back and said, "Ha, this last one must have come from that bastard Liang Yuqi."

"I'm going to find him now and beat him up."

Lin Miaofu rolled her eyes at Lin Qiyuan, and her thoughts were a little incoherent: "Brother, stop fooling around! If Liang Yuqi can't even seize this opportunity, then why is he still in the court?"

"Why are you still talking for him?"

"This is not an important matter." Lin Miaofu glanced at Lin Qiyuan and said: "I am doing business with the Crown Prince, and dirty water will be poured on me no matter what. It doesn't matter if I am assassinated, as long as I survive. The most important thing is It’s his life experience.”

"Whether it is his biological son or not, it will raise questions for the Crown Prince. This should be the Duke's self-defense testimony... If it can be spread throughout the streets in an instant, I am afraid that I have been prepared for it."

"You...how did you think of it?" Chen Jue looked at Lin Miaofu with a strange expression, feeling that she didn't look like a woman.

When he heard the two pieces of news, he couldn't help but worry about Brother Qianjun's injury, but she said it was not important.

"If Mrs. Jiang lost her moral character first, do you think what the Duke did was wrong?"

"Then the Duke will change from a wife-murdering madman to a man who endures humiliation and bear the burden for the sake of the country. Your Majesty will not only be unable to kill him, but you will also have to comfort him."

Lin Qiyuan said softly: "But the problem is that even the Crown Prince has no way to prove his innocence in this matter. He has no way to prove that he is the child of the Duke."

"No wonder……"

"But the appearance..."

"This is nothing."

The only person in the world who can prove the identity of the child's father is the mother, but Jiang is already dead.

Naturally, whatever the Duke of Guo wants to say is whatever he wants.

Lin Miaofu couldn't help but sigh, looking at the dark sky outside the window, wondering how to break this situation.

"I...I'd better go to the palace." Chen Jue didn't know what he could do. He could only run to the palace a few more times to see if he could give the Duke some eye drops.

"Little Marquis, it's better to be still than to move. It's better to calculate the time now and prepare the doctor and medicine. The things that follow will definitely not be simple. If... something really happens, I'm afraid..."

There are some things that Lin Miaofu cannot say openly. Now that the matter in the Duke's Mansion has reached this point, no one cares about the truth anymore. This is a game of power.

If the Queen really cherishes Chen Jue, she will definitely not let him get involved in this invisible war. If he goes to the palace, the Queen will take the opportunity to stay.

"What do you mean……"

"I haven't learned the full story of the incident, but I understand the Queen's love for you... If this matter gets serious and the Emperor is forced to choose one of the two, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"Brother Qianjun will fight with Duke Guo?"

Chen Jue felt a cold sweat break out from behind, he didn't know what to choose.

Each of these two people has power behind them. Once the stalemate breaks out, the court will be in turmoil.

The Grand Dukes represent a group of old-school Grand Dukes, all of whom were founding heroes. Many ancestral halls in their homes still have iron certificates written in the alchemy book "Prosperity of the Nation"...

Behind Gu Zhao are the Jiang family, soldiers who guard the country's borders.

Originally, the marriage between Gu and Jiang was full of intrigue.

From an outsider's point of view, Gu Zhao should naturally be chosen.

But that group of noble-seeking aristocratic families, that one is not entangled in the court, and one move can affect the whole body...

"Why do you know so much?" Chen Jue asked doubtfully.

Lin Miaofu blinked and said: "Since we are looking for a noble family to back us, we naturally have to find out more about each family, otherwise how can we ensure our own safety?"

Chen Jue laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "If you had kept to yourself, you wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter."

Lin Miaofu just smiled and said nothing.

"I have someone waiting at the city gate. If Brother Qianjun comes back, I will let you know. If I am not here, I will get rid of Brother Qianjun to you, as well as the doctor's medicine. I will send someone to deliver it in a while. Now The Duke's Mansion is not Brother Qianjun's home."

"it is good."

He bent slightly and sent Chen Jue away.

Lin Qiyuan looked at Lin Miaofu with a strange look on his face and said, "When did we investigate?"

"Oh, of course it's not you." Lin Miaofu rolled her eyes at him. As her brother, her choices always rely on intuition: "Of course it's me. I asked some ladies about it. It's not true that I am in the Liang Mansion. I don’t care, I’m just being bullied.”

"Oh, that's it."

"Brother, now go to Shopkeeper Jin and ask them to clean up a courtyard in the house. I'm afraid it will be useful then... Also, prepare three identical carriages and hire a few bodyguards. It will be ten Let’s go.”

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Before leading him out, Lin Qiyuan looked back at his calm sister and couldn't help but whisper: "Sister, you have suffered a lot in the capital this year."

"Although this has made you a lot more mature, I still hope you are a carefree little girl."

"Brother, people will change." Lin Miaofu did not comfort Lin Qiyuan, but said: "I would rather take my destiny into my own hands than be a little girl who doesn't know anything."

There were many things she couldn't put into words. But if she has the opportunity to change, she must cherish it.

The brother and sister looked at each other. Lin Qiyuan felt indescribable pain in his heart, but looking at his sister's calm smile, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Well, you're right, this is actually not bad... I'll take care of my parents tomorrow." Take it over and let’s celebrate the New Year in the capital this year!”
