"At first I realized he was doing it for my own good, to train my courage. Later he fed me sweet-scented osmanthus cake every night. After eating the cake, I was unconscious and woke up at daybreak."

"I was young at the time and thought I was just in a deep sleep. Now that I think about it, he might have drugged me."

After hearing this, Lin Yue understood.

Xiao Huaizheng expressed his suspicions because he wanted to use her connections to help him investigate the murder of his mother.

Once the truth is revealed, he can deliver food and supplies with peace of mind.

[System, if I don't completely change Xiao Huaizheng, will I still be in danger of losing my merit?]

System: [Yes]

Lin Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll help you with this."

"But the premise is that you have to listen to me and never act rashly!"

Xiao Huaizheng nodded, revealing a bright smile, his little eyes twinkling with tears.

He thought that as long as this matter was done, he could follow the imperial aunt naturally in the future, and no one would be able to deceive him again.

Lin Yue really couldn't help it. When the child was well-behaved, he was like a little fox cub.

She reached out and touched his head with a doting look on her face.

At this time, Xiao Huaiqing and his wife, who came to pay their respects, saw this. Su Yingyue was stunned and did not dare to move forward.

Xiao Huaiqing's eyes darkened, and he quickly said, "Fourth brother is here."

"You were the one who escorted my mother out of the palace, you must have worked so hard."

This suspicious tone makes people feel sick.

Lin Yue withdrew her hand, the smile on her face disappeared, and she shook her head: "No, the Fourth Prince came to ask me for help with something."

"Why are you two here? Didn't I tell you that you don't need to come and pay your respects to me? Just live your own life."

[If you appear all day long, you're going to cause trouble. Even ghosts would be worried if they saw you.]

Xiao Huaizheng saw the smile disappear from Lin Yue's face, and he was not in a good mood, so he said to Xiao Huaiqing: "What do you mean, cousin? I can't come to see the emperor's aunt because I didn't escort her out of the palace?"

"She is my biological aunt, like my mother. I will respect her well in the future."

"When I am crowned king and have my own residence outside the palace, I will definitely take the imperial aunt over to take care of her."

Xiao Huaiqing's face turned black. What was his stepson then?

Abusing your stepmother?

"Why are you so excited, Fourth Brother? I'm just asking."

Xiao Huaizheng sneered: "Ask, what's there to ask? Even if I come to pay my respects to the Emperor's aunt every day, you can't do anything about it!"

Xiao Huaiqing said angrily: "How can I not control it? Don't forget, I am the prince of the palace."

Xiao Huaizheng said: "So what? I'm not here to compete with you for the position of Crown Prince!"

"But you come to snatch Lin from me..."

"Huh???" Lin Yue frowned and glared at Xiao Huaiqing.

[Grab your sister, grab her, and kill me! ]

Xiao Huaizheng and Su Yingyue were also looking at him. Xiao Huaiqing knew he had said the wrong thing, and his cheeks flushed red. He said unhappily, "You can't even come and steal my mother!"

After he finished speaking, Xiao Huaizheng and Su Yingyue felt relieved and their expressions relaxed.

But Xiao Huaiqing felt extremely sad, especially when he saw Lin Yue also smiling, his heart suddenly tightened and he turned around and left.
