Xu Nanheng smiled and repeated what he had just said.

"Mother, can I take you out?"

go out……

What is the world outside like now?

There was some anticipation in Liangpin's eyes.

But reason prevailed in the end.

"No, Heng'er, tell your mother first why you are here."

Xu Nanheng pulled her to sit aside and soothed her softly, "Of course I came here by myself. Don't worry, mother. No one else will come. They don't dare."

"What do you mean..."

Liangpin was inexplicably flustered, shaking her head and grabbing him: "No! Tell mother honestly, what did you do?"

Xu Nanheng remained calm and said, "No, I have permission to come see you."

"Whose permission? Your Majesty? Impossible!"

Even though Xu Nanheng had not grown up with her, Liangpin could still tell at a glance whether he was lying or not.

How could she not see the baby she had carried for ten months in pregnancy?

"You... rebelled?"

Liangpin's eyelashes trembled violently.

Other than that, she couldn't think of any other reason.

Xu Nanheng's smile froze: "Mother, why don't you think that I was rewarded by my father?"

It is possible.

Liangpin shook her head bitterly, "If it were someone else, my mother would definitely believe it, but for me, it is absolutely impossible."

For the mistakes she made, it is a mercy from His Majesty that she can be spared.

"Why?"

Xu Nanheng unconsciously emphasized his tone.

"Mother has never been willing to tell me what happened back then. Since he can spare your life, why doesn't he allow you to keep me by your side?"

We can only see each other once a year on my birthday.

The resentment in Xu Nanheng's heart accumulated bit by bit.

"Don't talk about the past anymore."

Liangpin suppressed her emotions and advised: "Heng'er, rebellion is not a trivial matter, you should stop, there is still time for everything..."

"impossible!"

Xu Nanheng pulled his hand out abruptly, stood up and looked down at her: "Mother, you don't want to say it, I can choose not to ask, but there is no room for discussion on the matter of rebellion. He is not worthy of being a father, let alone a husband!"

"You..." Liangpin didn't know how to persuade him for a moment, "Then...what about Miss Song? What will she do if you rebel?"

She thought that moving Song Jin out would persuade him.

She even thought that even though Song Jin and Xu Nanheng had called off their engagement, they must still have feelings for each other.

But some of the complicated matters were not clear to her, a woman who had lived in the palace for a long time.

"Now?"

The image of Song Jin and Cui Huaiji cuddling together flashed through my mind.

Xu Nanheng's face became even colder. "How could I not consider her? When my rebellion succeeds, she will be my queen... Those who covet her will not have a good ending!"

That's not right!

No matter how dumb Concubine Liang was, she could see the problem.

"Heng'er! Don't do anything stupid—"

"Mother." Xu Nanheng leaned over abruptly, his cold eyes making people shudder.

She shut up subconsciously.

"Thank you for your hard work, please stay in the Taichang Palace for a few more days. I will come to pick you up after I have dealt with all the matters."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

The door closed again.

The expression on Liangpin's face gradually calmed down.

She tilted her head and spoke softly.

"Your Highness, please come out."

A small figure emerged from the table with the jade Guanyin statue. It was the eleventh prince Xu Luo!

*

Xu Mu emerged from behind the table with messy hair.

After a year, the little guy has grown a lot taller and the baby fat on his face has disappeared a little.

But those watery eyes remain the same as before.

"Lady Liangpin..."

Xu Mu wiped his face hastily, feeling a little scared and nervous, "Don't, don't hand me over..."

He knew the relationship between Liangpin and Xu Nanheng.

Hiding in the Taichang Palace was an accident, and it was too late to get out.

After all, she was a half-grown child, and it was rare for Liangpin to show some softness in her heart.

"Don't panic, Your Highness. I won't hand you over. Can you tell me what happened outside first?"

Xu Mu was half-believing and half-doubting. He glanced at her timidly and nodded slowly.

Two days ago, Xu Nanheng led his troops into the imperial palace on a rainy night, imprisoned the emperor and empress in Chaowu Palace, and ordered all the princes and princesses to be detained together.

Xu Mu didn't want to be taken away by them, so he changed into the clothes of a young eunuch and hid away.

Liangpin listened to everything in silence and was unexpectedly calm.

She sighed imperceptibly.

"Your Highness, it's no good for you to hide in my Taichang Palace. Heng'er will know you are here sooner or later."

Xu Mu was shocked: "Then what should I do?"

Liangpin pondered, looked him up and down, and said, "There is a dung cart in the backyard every day. Your Highness can hide in the dung bucket and sneak out."

Those guards will definitely not search the dung truck. It depends on whether Xu Mu can tolerate it.

"Shit? Shit bucket?"

Xu Mu's mouth widened unconsciously, and the next moment the smell of a manure barrel vaguely surrounded him, as if he were already in a manure truck.

He subconsciously held his breath.

"I, I can do it!"

As long as you leave the palace...

Unexpected answer.

Xu Mu was the most pampered among the princes and had never suffered any hardship. She had originally thought that he would not accept the plan of using the dung cart and was ready to think of other ways.

"Your Highness... can you really accept it?"

Xu Mu nodded firmly.

"Okay," Liangpin opened the door, "Your Highness Eleven, follow me."

The people who push the dung cart every day are Liangpin's men.

Liangpin gave her a few instructions, stuffed the person into the dung bucket, and turned back.

The dung truck is loaded and starts moving.

Xu Mu curled up in the dung bucket, holding his breath and listening attentively to the noise outside.

He must escape!

*

Yu study.

Xu Nanheng was already sitting in the dragon chair with dignity.

Just imagine yourself becoming an empress, and you can't help but laugh.

"Your Highness."

The hidden piece appeared and knelt down.

"What is it?"

Anzi didn't dare to look up. "There is only the eleventh prince left in the palace, but the eleventh prince is missing and is being searched. The third princess and the eighth princess are together. Only the fifth princess killed our people and ran away."

The rest of the princes were outside the palace, and Xu Nanheng had already sent people to control them.

The princes are fighting each other to the death, and they cannot let Xu Mu gain the upper hand in the end.

"Where did the fifth princess escape to?"

"I don't know."

The smile on Xu Nanheng's face faded a little. "Xu Mu probably ran out of the palace. I have sealed off the entire Sheng'an. They can't escape. Let the people at the city gate keep a close eye on them."

"yes!"

Anzi disappeared into Yu's study in the blink of an eye.

He was the only one in the huge room.

Xu Nanheng enjoyed this feeling and lay down in the dragon chair with his eyes closed.

Where else can this person run to? He is just struggling to his death.

*

The smell of the manure truck can be smelled from ten miles around.

Several people at the palace gate could smell this indescribable odor from a distance.

They pinched their noses and looked disgusted.

No one wants to touch the poop bucket.

Everyone just glanced at it and let it go.

Xu Mu huddled in the cesspool, not daring to breathe, enduring the stench all around him.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Mu was finally able to crawl out.

He didn't know where he was sent.

I just felt like I was smelling like car dung.

What should he do now?

Xu Mu was like a lost lamb, standing at the intersection, at a loss as to what to do.

His family fell out with him and he had nowhere to go.

In a flash, Song Jin's gentle smile flashed through my mind.

"Sister!"

Xu Mu's eyes immediately lit up, as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw.

But he didn't know where the Quling Marquis's Mansion was.

I vaguely remember it was in the northeast.

He stank so badly that passers-by were unwilling to pay any attention to him.

With no other choice, Xu Mu had to jump into the cold lake water and try his best to wash away the smell on his body.

The lake water was very cool in early summer, and Xu Mu was wearing thin clothes, so the stones on his clothes were even colder.

He was shivering with cold.

"Now...it doesn't stink anymore."

It was so cold that he had to secretly take someone else's coat that was hung out to dry and put it on, leaving behind a piece of silver and running away.

After asking around along the way, I finally found out the location of Quling Hou Mansion.

But there were a lot of people standing outside, all of them looked ferocious, so he didn't dare to get close.

Xu Mu recognized that those were Xu Nanheng's people.

"What should I do..."

He remembered stamping his feet.

I came here with so much effort, but I still can't get in.

Xu Mu squatted down and hugged himself with a wronged look, crying softly.

If you count carefully, you will find that he is not young anymore, but because he has been spoiled since he was young, his mind is as innocent as a child.

"Hey, little brat, why are you squatting here crying?"

The tall shadow almost enveloped the whole place.

Xu Mu was so frightened that his heart trembled, and he stammered: "I, I came to look for my elder sister..."

He didn't even dare to raise his head.

He cannot be discovered that he is the eleventh prince, or he will be captured.

Meng Shu's icy face rarely showed a smile.

This little brat is quite clever.

I took a few steps closer and the faint smell of him wafted into my nose.

Meng Shu's expression froze.

What does it taste like?

Xu Mu quietly looked over and saw the colorful expressions on his face, and he hiccupped in surprise.

"I-Hiccup!"

Xu Mu quickly covered his mouth.

Is he, is he still smelly?

"Who are you looking for?"

How could Meng Shu know who the "sister" he was talking about was?

Xu Mu seemed to realize this as well, and with his hand covering his mouth he pointed at the gate of Quling Marquis' Mansion.

"My elder sister is the head of Junning County in the Quling Marquisate."

Meng Shu fell silent.

He glanced at the child squatting on the ground and frowned slightly.

Looking for a young lady?

"...I'll take you in."

"No, no, no!" Xu Mu's head shook like a wave drum, and he said timidly, "I'm a little dirty, I want to wash it off before going to see Sister."

I like cleanliness quite a lot.

Meng Shu chattered for a moment, then bent down and picked him up.

A quarter of an hour later, he climbed in through the back door carrying the person.

As soon as he landed, Xu Mu felt like he was enveloped by something.

"Lord Meng."

She is a maid in the marquis's mansion.

The maid cast an inquiring look upon him.

"What good things does Lord Meng have in his heart?"

Xu Mu immediately became nervous.

"It's nothing important, you want to see it?"

Meng Shu's eyes suddenly turned cold for no reason.

It seemed that if she really agreed, her head would fall to the ground.

The maid laughed: "Master Meng is joking."

Meng Shu nodded his chin and continued to walk towards Song Jin's yard with the person in his arms.

Xu Nanheng had tampered with the people in the Marquis' Mansion.

There are very few people who can be trusted.

The maid just now was his.

The maid's face darkened slightly, "Tell His Highness that someone has sneaked into the mansion."
