He continued: "Wanyulou probably didn't want to cause any more trouble when his daughter entered the palace, so he didn't pay much attention to me."

"I inquired and learned that the princess left Geling and went to Ningwu County with the person she married. So I tried my best to smoothen the relationship and was assigned to Ningwu as an official."

Mu Liuhuo paused for a moment as he said this, as if the pain in his heart was unbearable.

Lin Ye didn't rush him, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Mu Liuhuo continued to speak.

"I originally thought that after arriving in Ningwu, I would pick up the princess and leave, and then just wander around the world."

"But I observed secretly and discovered that the businessman He Wenwen treated the princess very well."

Mu Liuhuo said: "He Wenwen lived in seclusion in Ningwu. Later, he probably realized that the emperor's people would not let the princess go easily, so he took the princess all the way north."

He looked at Lin Ye and said: "If I really take away the princess, she will never be able to stand up again. If I follow He Wenwen, there may be a way to survive. At least she can live normally under the sun."

"So, I resigned from my official position in Ningwu and secretly protected them all the way north to Yunzhou."

"After He Wenwen and the princess arrived in Yunzhou, they kept their names anonymous and got along for a long time. They are actually very affectionate as a couple."

Mu Liuhuo said: "At this point, I thought, I won't bother you anymore. After all, He Wenwen has fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband."

"So I found Fuzhi Jin Shengchang, whom I met when he was in Geling."

Lin Ye said: "Jin Sheng went to the palace examination in the same year as you. He was the number one scholar, and you were the third flower?"

Mu Liuhuo nodded: "Yes."

Lin Ye asked: "What happened next?"

Mu Liuhuo said: "After a few years, even I thought things would never change again, until the princess... gave birth to another child."

When Lin Ye heard this, his heart tightened suddenly.

Mu Liuhuo said: "The princess and He Wenwen had a daughter first, and nothing happened. But after the princess gave birth to a boy, everything changed."

Lin Ye took a deep breath.

Emperor Jade, in order to secure his position and eliminate hidden dangers, was really cruel to the extreme.

No matter where the princess and He Wenwen went, they would never be able to hide them without leaving any trace. The Yu Lingwei who was responsible for this matter were like hounds secretly watching them, always watching.

The princess and He Wenwen gave birth to a daughter, and Yu Lingwei wouldn't care, because a girl would most likely not be a disaster.

But the princess gave birth to another boy.

God knows whether the princess and He Wenwen will instill hatred in a boy.

Doesn't this sound ridiculous?

But that's what Yu Lingwei does.

A boy who was just born was regarded by them as a hidden danger that might threaten the emperor in the future.

So, they came to the door.

Mu Liuhuo looked at Lin Ye and was shocked.

Because he found that the anger and murderous intent in General Lin's eyes were heavier than his own.
