The Royal Tomb was built in the outskirts of the capital, and it was a good place to stay, surrounded by the Mu Rong family's emperors and emperors.

Lin Shuqiang's heart felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of DaYi having a tradition of the empress's burial.

After leaving the capital, he still needed half a day to arrive at the imperial mausoleum. The palace built beside the mausoleum was precisely for the convenience of the nobles that came from the palace.

As Lin Shu arrived at the entrance of the palace, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as she looked at the majestic and dignified palace, "Oh, how extravagant!"

One had to know that this palace couldn't last two times a year, but it was no worse than the imperial palace.

"Cough, cough." Lingxi reminded her in a low voice, "Empress, there are so many people watching."

It was only then that Lin Shushang realized he had lost control of himself. He immediately put on his airs, looking straight ahead as if he were a proper empress dowager.

The palace attendants had been waiting at the entrance all morning to welcome the empress dowager. Together with them was Murong Jie's younger brother, the Seventh Prince, Mu Rong Hong.

Mu Rong Hong was the younger brother of Mu Rong Jie's mother, so he should have been highly praised by the king. However, the Seventh Prince was a mad man, so he was sent to the palace to guard the Royal Tomb.

Before Lin Shushang entered the palace, he had heard of the Seventh Prince's crazy deeds. This Seventh Prince believed in stories of gods and gods, obsessed with refining pills. He didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, but his entire being was abnormal.

Mu Rong Hong's hair was disheveled and his feet were bare. He didn't look normal at all. He bowed towards Lin Shu from afar and said, "Greetings, empress dowager."

If it had been anyone else, they would have already been punished for such disrespectful dressing. Everyone knew that the Seventh Prince was abnormal, so no one bothered with him.

"..."

The palace specially cleaned up the largest sleeping quarters for Lin Shushang. The environment was quiet and serene, with a gurgling stream in front of the door. Behind it was a bamboo forest and a hot spring in the middle of the hall.

If it weren't for the fact that he was not far away from the Royal Tomb, Lin Shu Qian would not have been able to stay here any longer.

Lin Shu entered the living room, she couldn't wait to go to the back and soak in the hot spring. She waved her hands with a serious expression on her face, "You can all leave, This Dowager needs to rest."

"Yes." Knowing that Her Majesty liked peace and quiet, the chambermaids bowed and left.

Mu Rong Hong looked around and sat down cross-legged.

Lin Shushang: "?"

"Seventh Prince, This Dowager has to rest. You should go back and rest as well." Lin Shu Qian knew why Murong Jie sent the Seventh Marquis to this kind of place.

He was truly very baffled.

Mu Rong Hong ignored Lin Shu Qian's unfriendly gaze and patted the ground before him enthusiastically. "Empress Dowager, please sit down and speak."

It was still early spring and March, and the place was marble. Lin Shu Qian felt a chill stand up his spine just by standing here.

"Seventh Prince, the ground is cold." Shall we go sit in the chair over there? " Lin Shu bent down and used a coaxing tone.

Seventh Marquis shook his head very seriously, then patted the ground in front of him. "Hurry and sit down. I have a little secret to tell you."

Lin Shu shallowly looked at Lingxi with pleading eyes: "What do we do?!" I've never dealt with a madman before!

Lingxi shook her head helplessly. I'm sorry, but this servant has never met a lunatic before.

Lin Shu knew that if she didn't sit down now, she wouldn't be able to see this old man off.

Lin Shushang resigned himself to his fate and sighed. He then ignored his image and sat down on the cold marble floor.

The prince and the empress dowager sat cross-legged on the floor of the grand hall. Anyone who saw it would find it absurd.

The preposterous seventh prince nodded in satisfaction and praised, "My daughter is so obedient!"

Lin Shushang: "?" Friend, identify yourself, I'm your stepmother!

"I have a secret that I haven't told anyone else." Mu Rong Hong looked around cautiously and whispered, "I hate my dad too."

After he finished speaking, Mu Rong Hong chuckled and got up to run.

Lin Shushang: "?" What does it have to do with me?

And why did you say "also"?

Lin Shuang shivered. It seemed like the ground was too cold, and she was freezing.
