Lin Ze glanced at Mu Xiaoling, who had a frosty expression on her face. Xiao Yu, who was beside him, did not recognize her, but her smile was especially strange, making him feel as if she was even colder. Looking at Meng Yifan, he did not recognize him, but his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, making him look extremely ugly.

He looked at Lin Xiangdie, who was the only one with a pretty face, and asked her with his eyes: "What is going on?"

Lin Xiangdie blinked, not saying a word. She had guessed what he meant.

Lin Ze's expression was stiff on his face as he forcefully didn't retreat, and he didn't know whether to retreat or retreat as he stood at the door.

Mu Xiaoling coughed. After all, this matter was of utmost importance. He had to first break the silence. "Uncle Lin, what has happened recently?"

"We didn't want to leave at first, but the imperial edict was too sudden, and Miss Mu's words were too loud, so we prepared to go to the capital first. However, along the way, we had a slim chance of survival, and just the assassination of people of all sizes has already happened more than ten times, which has stretched our nerves to the limit. Fortunately, Die'er did not follow me, otherwise, who knows how much suffering we would have to endure."

Mu Xiaoling also understood in her heart.

"When we get to the capital."

"It's our luck to be able to survive to the capital. Although this old emperor doesn't have a son, his younger brother has many sons, and there's also the Imperial Advisor eyeing him covetously like a tiger. We have an imperial edict, so even if we sit on the throne, we're only puppeteers.

As for whose puppet emperor it was, just by looking at Lu Xuan's arrogance, one would be able to guess.

Moreover, she and Shen Zhao had been together for a long time. Shen Zhao's ears were soft, and his heart was quite good, he could be a casual prince, but he wasn't suitable to be the emperor, "It seems like this country of Xia is also a place of dragons and tigers."

Lin Ze said, "His Majesty said that he can't defend this mountain by himself, but those people who are eyeing the throne covetously aren't good people. If he gives up the throne, the people of Li will definitely suffer. I heard that the Emperor is a rare benevolent ruler, and he is willing to abdicate the throne to give up this mountain.

He was a good man. If there was a chance, he could save him from the sea of suffering. Mu Xiaoling was still awake as she said to Meng Yifan, "We can't decide on this matter. Yifan, you should pass on a message to the Emperor."

Meng Yifan nodded. Before he left, the Emperor gave him a way to pass the message. He had a type of spice that once opened, would attract a spirit beast called the Shadow Butterfly. This kind of spirit beast was extremely fast and could transmit information to the Emperor within a day.

However, the price for training such a butterfly was too expensive. Other than royalty, most families would not be able to afford it.

Mu Xiaoling asked, "Uncle Lin, what's your current position?"

"The Emperor made me commander of the imperial guards." Lin Ze scratched his head in embarrassment. He was a fisherman in the past, but in the short period of less than two months, he had become the commander of the Tang Imperial Guard.

Mu Xiaoling said, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Lin to find some trusted aides to secretly monitor the various families and see who they are dealing with."

"I can ask Qi He." Xiao Yu held her hand, "Why are you so tired."

"This won't do. If he discovers the truth, you will be in danger and we won't be short on time either." Mu Xiaoling shook her head and refused.

Xiao Yu's heart was slightly warm, his Ling'er always thought of him.

Lin Ze was embarrassed by the atmosphere of the two of them and scratched his head. "Alright, I'll go arrange it right now."

Mu Xiaoling nodded. "Then let's do it like this for now."

She waited for a while, but no one moved. She could not help but to look around suspiciously, "You guys still have something to do?"

"No, I'm leaving first!" Lin Ze hurriedly ran away as if his butt was on fire.

Meng Yifan curled his lips in displeasure. "Sister Mu, then I'll be leaving as well."

Just as Xiao Yu was about to speak, Lin Xiangdie interrupted, "Sister Mu, let's go soak in a hot spring."

Mu Xiaoling nodded. "Alright."

Xiao Yu: "…"

This time, they were completely separated. Mu Xiaoling didn't dare to look at Xiao Yu's expression as she followed Lin Xiangdie to the bathroom in the backyard. She only returned very late.

The next day, everyone set off. Lin Ze divided the soldiers into two parts, respectively protecting the front and back of the carriage while he led the way at the front.

The carriage was extremely quiet.

Mu Xiaoling was wearing an extremely complicated snow-white robe and was sitting at the very back. Logically speaking, she was going to wear a wedding dress today, but this matter had already happened.

This was a bold idea, but according to the current situation in China, it was also appropriate.

Lin Xiangdie sat on her right side, occasionally serving her tea and snacks. Xiao Yu was a man after all, so he chose to follow Meng Yifan out to drive the carriage.

Lin An City wasn't too far away from the capital, and it only took half a day for the carriage to arrive. The carriage finally stopped at the entrance of the palace, but there was already another group of people wearing dark red clothing waiting there.

Lu Xuan lazily sat on his chair, a fan in his hand. He didn't seem to think that he was doing anything big by blocking the entrance of the palace, he only looked at Lin Ze and the others with disdain, "What I, Lu Xuan, have said always counted. Today, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet the Emperor."

Lin Ze was enraged. "Lu Xuan, do you want breakfast?!"

"Rebel?" Lu Xuan sneered. "If I wanted to rebel, then who do you think is sitting on the dragon throne?"

Lin Ze shouted loudly, then he directly flew up and smashed his fist towards Lu Xuan.

He practiced body techniques, and this punch encompassed the force of Mt. Tai. One punch was enough to create a hole in the palace wall. He was very confident in his fist.

However, Lu Xuan didn't even put this move in his eyes. He released a gentle breeze from his folding fan and then used the folding fan to face Lin Ze, revealing a sinister smile.

"Not good." Mu Xiaoling's eyes widened slightly as she heard the angry air currents. There was something inside the fan.

Lin Xiangdie, who was already nervous of her father, immediately flew out of the carriage and dashed towards Lin Ze when she heard Mu Xiaoling's words.

Just at this moment, three blades suddenly appeared on the top of Lu Xuan's fan, and the sharp edge was directed towards Lin Ze's fist.

One could imagine that if Lin Ze's fist was really going to land on it, then his hand would be crippled. Lu Xuan's move could be said to be poisonous, and Lin Ze's move was already in front of Lu Xuan, unable to stop at all.

Lu Xuan smiled sinisterly, waiting for the scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Right at this moment of crisis, Lin Xiangdie arrived. She hugged Lin Ze, forcefully pushing Lin Ze away from her, and fell to the ground.
