"What's going on?" Lin Mu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the news. He grabbed the little girl's arm and urged, "You were fine a few days ago. Why is Li Xian suddenly put under house arrest?" Lin Mu was anxious for a moment.
Regardless of whether he was respectful or not, he directly called out Li Xian's name.
"Slave... I don't know." The little girl cried a little: "When the eldest princess got up this morning, she was called for questioning by your majesty. Then your majesty didn't know why, and said that the eldest princess had been punished for the crime of treason.
, send Long Tingwei to directly surround the princess mansion."
"The princess's mansion is surrounded?" Lin Mu frowned, and suddenly wanted to run out and go to the princess's mansion to see what was going on.
"Wait a minute." The little princess rolled her eyes at Lin Mu and said, "What's the rush? What's the use of going now? Let her finish her words first."
Lin Mu took a gentle breath, calmed down, and continued to ask: "Then how did you come out?"
The little girl glanced at Lin Mu with some gratitude and said timidly: "Didn't you dig a lot of holes in the Princess Mansion some time ago? I escaped from those tunnels by taking advantage of the chaos."
Lin Mu scratched his head in embarrassment. He had dug so many escape holes in order to avoid the little princess in the past few days, but he didn't expect that this little girl would use them first today.
"I originally wanted to go outside the city to report the news to the eldest princess's two armies, but when I got there, the eldest princess's two armies had already been taken over by the eldest prince and the fourth prince. I had no choice but to come down and came to Prince Zuo's Mansion.
Looking for you." The little girl cried.
The eldest prince? The fourth prince? Lin Mu frowned. It seemed that this was not a sudden attack by Li Xian, but something that had been planned for a long time. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the eldest prince and the fourth prince to eat quickly in one morning.
Get rid of the two armies in Li Ningzhi's hands.
Lin Mu thought for a moment, feeling slightly uneasy.
"What on earth is going on? I will go to the palace to ask the uncle now." Although the little princess was not at odds with Li Ningzhi, she naturally wanted to find out about such a big matter.
Lin Mu grabbed the little princess and shook his head gently.
Seeing Lin Mu like this, the little princess surprisingly had no objection. After thinking for a moment, she took the little girl to the inner courtyard.
"No wonder Li Xian had the idea of killing me last night. It turned out that it was not that I refuted his face, but that my relationship with Li Ningzhi was too close. He was afraid that I was Li Ningzhi's confidant, so he wanted to get rid of me." Lin Mu.
He lowered his head and thought: "But I really can't figure out why Li Xian did this?"
The first day of the new year was a happy day, but the young princess and Lin Mu were really worried. They had a casual lunch, and the young princess was wondering whether she should go into the palace to ask Li Jingjing something.
Lin Mu was already sitting with a confused look on his face, and at this moment there was another knock on the door.
The little princess hurriedly walked over and saw a little girl in pink standing in front of the door.
"Little sister, who are you looking for?" the little princess said with a smile.
"I'm looking for brother Lin Mu." The little girl took out a letter from her back and handed it to the little princess, saying crisply: "Here, this is for brother Lin Mu."
The little princess took the letter and asked: "Little sister, who asked you to send this letter?"
The little girl blinked and said, "It's a very old man. He gave me a bunch of candied haws and asked me to deliver the letter when I got here."
The little princess narrowed her eyes and nodded, and brought a lot of candies and pastries from the palace to the little girl. The little girl got a lot of snacks and left the palace with a smile.
Back in the courtyard, the little princess hesitated for a while, and finally gave the letter to Lin Mu, "This was just sent by someone else. It was said that it was sent by an old man."
Lin Mu took the letter in surprise and was silent for a long time. He slowly opened the envelope and found only two words written in white on it.
"Be careful?" The little princess frowned. The word 'be careful' in white letters made her suddenly uneasy.
Lin Mu frowned. The little princess might not be able to see the mystery behind the word 'be careful', but Lin Mu could clearly feel the tyrannical power emanating from these two words, which seemed to be giving Lin Mu a blow.
A heavy warning bell.
"Who could it be? This word is full of ancient and simple aura, but it is also very familiar." Lin Mu thought secretly in his heart. Thinking of the old man, his heart suddenly moved and he thought to himself: "Could this aura belong to the old man from the Imperial Academy?"
?I have only felt this old aura in him, but if it is really him, what do these two words mean?"
When the little princess saw Lin Mu bowing his head and saying nothing, she felt even more uneasy. She pulled Lin Mu's arm with some worry.
Lin Mu sighed softly and said casually to the little princess: "I want to enter the palace!"
"No!" The little princess refused without thinking. Although the little princess didn't know many secrets, the appearance of Li Xian and Lin Mu on New Year's Eve was not a joke, so if Lin Mu entered the palace at this time,
The little princess was afraid that something bad would happen to Lin Mu.
"It's better for me to go. I'll come back and tell you as soon as there is news." The little princess pulled Lin Mu and said softly.
Lin Mu thought for a while, and finally nodded. As a relatively young princess, it would be easier for him to enter the palace to inquire about information.
The streets were very lively on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but the little princess was not in any mood now and walked directly towards the interior of the imperial city without stopping.
However, as soon as the little princess entered the gate of the imperial city, she was stopped by the guards guarding the city. They said they would not let the little princess enter the imperial city. The little princess was so angry that her teeth itched.
At this moment, a powerful golden light suddenly burst out from the center of the imperial city. The light quickly condensed into a shadow. When the little princess looked up, she saw that it was Li Xian.
Just when the little princess was surprised, a dull voice came from the golden shadow.
"Today, I inform the world that my three daughters, Li Ningzhi, should be suspected of treason. I will deprive her of the status of candidate for the throne and reduce her status as a princess. However, I miss my flesh and blood and cannot bear to kill her, so I will put her under house arrest.
Twenty years in the imperial city!”
Shocked, absolutely shocked, the little princess was immediately bored by these words, and this was projected through the great magical power, so everyone in Longxiang City could hear it, and the originally noisy streets suddenly became dead silent, and then
It suddenly became noisy again.
"Hey, is it true or not? The eldest princess is actually guilty of treason?"
"I really can't think of it...how is it possible?"
"...."
There was a commotion in the crowd, talking about Li Xian's announcement.
The little princess was stunned, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the palace.
