C23 Sister Sister
Yu Longzi thought about it and decided to investigate those people to see if he could find any flaws.
Those civilians were still in Lord Mayor's prison. They were hungry and sleepy. Prison. The lights flashed a few times, and a cold wind blew into the cell. The lights went out in an instant, scaring a few timid people and making them cry out a few times. A cold voice came from the darkness, "You unruly people! You framed me and made me a ghost! Let me ask you, who framed me? Speak, and I'll spare your lives!"
"My lord! Don't come looking for me! It's the lord's trusted aides who came looking for us! My lord! " With a panicked tone, the few of them hurriedly knelt down," Lord, it was you who wanted to kill us to silence us, that's why we came to sue you! "
"Sou!" The lights suddenly lit up, and the civilians were so scared that they huddled together, their teeth chattering.
Yu Longzi stood outside the prison door. These civilians believed in ghosts and gods the most. Now that they had used a trick, and the confession had not been changed, it was definitely the problem with the trusted aide!
Yu Longzi looked at the horse carriage at the prison door in the blink of an eye, and his eyes narrowed as he walked out.
"Master Eldest Prince, please!" The coachman saw the person and lifted the curtain to greet him respectfully. Yu Longzi entered the carriage, and Yu Longchen had already been waiting for him.
"Big brother, how about you try some flower tea?" Yu Longchen smiled in a reserved manner.
Yu Longzi was shocked and sighed, "What a good plan!"
"This official does not know what big brother is talking about." Yu Longchen concentrated on pouring the tea and said in a calm tone, "I am here to clear up big brother's doubts."
"Seeing you, I have no doubts. It is a pity that my mother... and Zhong Song Yun was planted with such a person, he did not even notice. It was also mediocrity. The money in that letter must have been the work of that trusted aide. As for the bandit who robbed the imperial tribute... Presumably, the one who was caught was just a scapegoat. Right now, even if I wanted to investigate, I have no way of doing so. You have done a good job. You have thought of Zhong Song's next move. Wait at the Vice Minister of Ministry of Justice's place! Those evidence must be presented to Royal Father by my good second brother one by one! "There was some anger in Yu Longzi's eyes, but his expression was very calm.
"Big brother, don't speak nonsense. This matter has nothing to do with me and Second Big Brother!" Yu Longchen still maintained his polite smile.
"Hmph." Yu Longzi snorted lightly and did not say anything.
"Big brother, while we are talking, we have already reached the palace gates. It is late at night, so you should go back and rest. Don't be cold!" Yu Longchen had a concerned look on his face as he personally watched Yu Longzi enter the palace gates.
The next day, Faang Zijun held a banquet in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant and invited Yu Longchen, Yu Longtang, and Yuen Qing...
He came to express his gratitude. Recently, the Fang family had been suppressed by the Ministry of Revenue until they couldn't breathe. Now that the official of the Ministry of Revenue had fallen, the Fang family had resumed its operations.
Secondly, he expressed his determination to stand on the side and discuss the relevant details.
Thirdly, he wanted to see how Yuen Qing was doing.
Yu Longtang had spent Yu Longzi's arm and gotten the Fang family. He felt indescribably happy in his heart.
The corner of Yu Longchen's mouth rose. He looked at Yuen Qing, who was laughing and laughing the whole time.
After the feast, King Chu's Mansion.
"Do you have a candidate?" Yu Longtang looked calm, but his tone was worried. "Mu Ruqing's condition has worsened recently. Imperial Physician Gu said that she can only hold on for a month at most."
"She will 'live'." Yu Longchen stared into the distance, and his tone could not be ignored.
Yu Longtang looked at Yuen Qing and Changxu walking past the door and smiled at Yu Longchen wickedly. "You are not afraid of her and your men..."
"Impossible." Yu Longchen was very confident.
"Then why don't you just take her as your concubine?" Yu Longtang didn't understand. He obviously liked it, so why didn't he do it?
Yu Longchen rolled his eyes at Yu Longtang and said in disdain, "Do you think I am you? One main wife is not enough, and there are two concubines. She will only be my only wife, so naturally I will marry her openly. "
Yu Longtang looked at Yu Longchen as if he was looking at a monster. Which man did not like having three wives and four concubines? Although Yu Longzi didn't have an official wife, he had six or seven concubines, which was much more than him.
"Hmph, I won't lower myself to your level. Your Imperial Sister-in-law has a body now, I want to spend more time with her." Yu Longtang did not want to argue with him. When Yu Longchen heard this news, he said gently, ___, you are in good health now." Oh? You have to take good care of it. Give it to me to play with."
Yu Longtang's face darkened and he left in a muffled voice.

In front of the Mo'an Temple's gate.
Yuen Qing looked at the Mo'an Temple and felt inexplicably happy.
"Let's go." Yu Longchen strode forward. Yuen Qing carried the box containing the Blood Lingzhi and followed him.
Imperial Physician Gu was taking Mu Ruqing's pulse with a worried expression, "Master Gu, you don't have to be so sad." Mu Ruqing smiled in relief, as if she did not care about everything. Imperial Physician Gu sighed and did not say anything.
"Imperial Physician Gu, what a coincidence." Yu Longchen said with a smile. Seeing that they wanted to bow, he stopped and said, "No need to be so polite."
"What brings Your Royal Highness here?" Mu Ruqing's expression was indifferent and her tone was calm.
"I wonder if this Blood Lingzhi is useful to Miss's illness?" Yu Longchen looked at Imperial Physician Gu and asked. Yuen Qing handed it over.
The Blood Lingzhi, as its name implied, was about the size of a person's palm. The lines were clear and the color was blood red. It was like fresh blood had just been poured onto it.
When Imperial Physician Gu saw the Blood Lingzhi, his eyes flashed with surprise. Then, a look of joy appeared on his face. One had to understand that the Blood Lingzhi could only be chanced upon by luck, and not sought after. It was extremely rare.
"This is great! With this medicine, Ruqing's days will be much longer." Imperial Physician Gu was happy for Mu Ruqing.
Mu Ruqing did not care and said, "It is just a few more days. What is the difference?"
"Miss, don't say that. A few more days is also good. You can do a lot of things." Yuen Qing had a good impression of her and could not help but comfort, "If Miss does not mind that I am a boorish person, I can come and accompany you more."
Although Mu Ruqing had a close relationship with Yuen Qing, she did not know that Yuen Qing was a woman. When she heard these words, she felt that Yuen Qing was frivolous and felt a little angry in her heart. She lightly snorted and did not speak.
Yuen Qing saw Mu Ruqing's expression and knew that she had misunderstood and wanted to explain. She opened her mouth and did not say anything. Yu Longchen knew that Yuen Qing was afraid of other people but there was no one here who could not know.
"Miss Mu, this king will send a strange person to accompany you. How about it?" Yu Longchen smiled with a serious expression.
"His Royal Highness's people are naturally good."
"That's her." Yu Longchen pointed at Yuen Qing, and Yuen Qing cooperated with him and smiled.
"Is His Royal Highness joking?" Mu Ruqing looked at Yuen Qing with disdain, making her feel awkward.
"Actually..." Yuen Qing was a little anxious and did not know if she should say it or not.
"She is a woman." Yu Longchen said straightforwardly.
"Haha." Imperial Physician Gu looked at Yuen Qing and smiled amiably. "It is also good to have company." Mu Ruqing's attitude was much better, but she did not say anything else. After all, they had only met twice.
"Imperial Physician, can we talk in private?"
"Okay."
Yu Longchen and Imperial Physician Gu went somewhere else, leaving only Yuen Qing and Mu Ruqing.
"I have offended you." Yuen Qing said as she admitted her mistake.
Mu Ruqing laughed softly, "I thought you were a man, so..."
"Hehe, if I were a man, I would also like you. I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw you. It was very real. " Yuen Qing was very serious. She had never felt this kind of feeling towards anyone before.
"Don't make fun of Ruqing. I also have a sense of intimacy with you." Mu Ruqing smiled sweetly.
"How old are you this year? I'm fifteen, born at the end of June."
"I'm also fifteen, I'm born at the beginning of July."
"Then I'll call you sister. I'll spend more time with you in the future."
"Okay, sister."
There was no longer any estrangement between the two of them. They were like real sisters, chatting happily.
Outside the courtyard, Yu Longchen handed the Blood Lingzhi to Imperial Physician Gu and asked, "With this, how long can we last?"
"About two months. However, if there are any external stimuli, it's hard to say. Her body was weak to begin with, and she was frightened when she was young. Now..." Imperial Physician Gu felt sad when he mentioned Mu Ruqing.
"Alright. In a few days, tell them that Mu Ruqing's condition is getting better and might recover."
"This..." Imperial Physician Gu hesitated.
"Anxi?" Dissatisfaction arose in Yu Longchen's heart, "You still don't believe me?"
"Yes." Imperial Physician Gu's tone was respectful, "This official has overstepped his boundaries. This official will take his leave." After saying that, he left.
Yu Longchen went into the courtyard and looked at Yuen Qing happily, "What did you say?"
"You can't listen to a girl's words." Yuen Qing rolled her eyes at him. Mu Ruqing looked at the two of them and smiled knowingly.
"Yuen Qing, go to the carriage and bring the gift I gave Miss Mu."
Yuen Qing replied and reluctantly left.
After sending Yuen Qing away, Yu Longchen seriously asked, "Is Miss Mu willing to help this king?"
"It's not that Ruqing doesn't want to, but she really can't do anything about it."
"Yes, as long as you are willing."
"Then tell me about it, Your Highness..."
