Xiao Pingxin sighed, "The relationship in the court is complicated. If Doctor Qi saw it but didn't say it, this matter may be difficult to handle."

He looked at Ruyi and suddenly said, "You need to discuss this matter with His Majesty the Ninth Prince. You cannot act on your own."

Ruyi felt heavy-hearted.

She went to the Mu family to treat Mr. Mu, mainly to help Mu Rushuang and also to repay her gratitude.

When she went there, she didn't think that Mr. Mu was poisoned.

Even though she found out that she was poisoned after taking his pulse, she never thought that the Cao family would be involved.

Cao Zhizhang is the maternal grandfather of the Third Prince and the father of Concubine Duan. There are serious implications behind this, and it involves Shen Jiaojiao and the Nanchu spy.

It is even closely related to the bloody storm that will follow.

For the first time, Ruyi felt firsthand the treacherous and dangerous situation in the court. If she was not careful, she would be dragged into it and there would be no escape.

Her heart also felt heavy.

Just as he was about to say something, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the car, "Please inform them, I'm looking for Miss Mu."

"Shen Yu?"

At that moment, Song Mingyang looked at Ruyi with complicated eyes.

The carriage also stopped.

Ruyi lifted the car curtain and looked back, only to find Shen Yu standing at the gate of the Mu family like a stray dog.

The Mu family's guards looked unhappy, "Sorry, my lady doesn't want to see you."

Without any notification, it was rejected directly.

Shen Yu's face was grim. "I'm here to apologize. Please give me some favors."

An apology comes second.

The main thing is that the Shen family is desperate right now, and he wants to ask the Mu family for help to get Shen Xiao out of the cell, and then see if he can take Shen Xiao away.

Last night, he thought about it all night and felt that he really couldn't stay in the capital.

Because Shen Cangyun is guilty of a murder!

When this case happened, Shen Yu was not yet born, so he was not involved, but if they stayed in the capital, they would inevitably be dragged down.

If I leave, the emperor probably won't pursue the matter.

So, in the end, regardless of filial piety or not, the Shen family still fell apart.

However, the Mu family was disgusted by him.

"You pretended to be my young lady's handwriting and did such a shameless thing. How dare you come to me now?"

The guard sneered, "If you don't leave now, don't blame me for kicking you when you're down!"

As he said this, he even picked up the whip and swung it directly at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu's face was dull.

I can't see Mu Rushuang, but I can't just be whipped. That would be too embarrassing.

In the end, I had to leave in shame.

Passing by Ruyi's carriage, their eyes met, Shen Yu trembled all over, and a feeling of embarrassment as if he was trampled into the mud surged in his heart, and he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and disappear.

A sneer welled up in Ruyi's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment.

Soon, he was treated as a fart and released!

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them and headed towards the Mu family.

The leader was actually the third prince!

Behind him, more than twenty people were carrying a large red box tied with red silk.

Anyone who is not stupid can see that this is a happy event!

"Is the Third Prince coming to propose marriage?"

Xiao Pingxin was stunned. He asked the driver to pull the carriage to the side. He did not leave for the time being and stayed to watch the fun.

It is lively, but also a time of political change.

If Old Man Mu had not been poisoned, it would have seemed normal for the Third Prince to come and propose marriage to Mu Rushuang. But now that Old Man Mu was poisoned, the first suspicion was that it was the Third Prince's grandfather who did it.

It would not be so interesting if the Third Prince came to propose marriage at this time.

Shen Yu, who originally wanted to leave, had his eyelids twitching and his pupils dilated. He couldn't help but turn around, clenched his fists, and stared at the Third Prince and his entourage.

Mu Rushuang was the woman he had been madly in love with.

Since a few years ago, he has been unable to pursue Mu Rushuang, and has secretly collected many of Mu Rushuang's discarded things. To put it nicely, it is his unbearable love for her, but to put it bluntly, it is no different from being a pervert.

But, Mu Rushuang refused to see him now.

The third prince came to propose marriage.

Not to mention that the Shen family has declined now, even before, the Third Prince's status was above his. What the Third Prince did today, wasn't it a slap in his face?

As Shen Yu thought about this, he felt his face burning.

People from all around were also alarmed and came to watch the show.

"The Third Prince is seeking to marry Miss Mu, and he bumps into Shen Yu. This is going to be fun."

"If I were Shen Yu, I would turn my head and crash into that big willow tree and die. It would be embarrassing."

"I don't know if the Mu family will agree."

There was a lot of discussion outside.

The guards of the Mu family were unaware of the sudden change in the family and thought that he was quite close to the Third Prince's party, so they hurried in with a smile to report it.

Ruyi frowned, "The position of Minister of War has fallen into the hands of Cao Zhizhang, why won't the Third Prince and his party let the Mu family go?"

This confused her.

Xiao Pingxin lowered his voice and said, "It's not that simple. Although Cao Zhizhang has been acting as the Minister of War for four years, the emperor has not yet made him a permanent official, which means that the emperor does not want him to be the Minister at all."

"Besides that, most people in the Ministry of War still recognize the old Shangshu Mu Yuandao instead of Cao Zhizhang."

"The Third Prince is doing this, I'm afraid he wants to completely swallow up the Ministry of War, so he wants to marry Miss Mu."

Ruyi suddenly understood after hearing this.

Song Mingyang didn't understand or pay attention to the affairs of the court, so he didn't say anything and just watched the fun.

No one expected that the person who came out a moment later was Mu Rushuang's father, Mu Yuandao's eldest son, Mu Yunshan.

Instead of inviting people in, they just came out and blocked the door.

Moreover, his eyes were unfriendly.

"What does this mean, Third Prince?"

Mu Yunshan looked at the Third Prince. Although his face showed everything, his fists were clenched tightly under his sleeves.

When Ruyi saw this scene, she realized that Mu Yunshan already knew the truth.

Today, the Third Prince’s proposal of marriage will not be successful.

The third prince was also a little surprised.

Because Cao Zhizhang was recommended by Mu Yuandao, he always felt that his party had a good relationship with the Mu family, so he bypassed the matchmaker and came directly to propose marriage, in order to make the Mu family unable to back down because of their face -

The Mu family couldn't refuse, so they had to agree.

However, he didn't expect that even ordinary people could see that he was here to propose marriage, but Mu Yunshan came out with such an attitude.

The Third Prince had no choice but to dismount and speak out, "Hello, Uncle Mu. I am attracted to the young lady, so I came here in person to propose marriage. I hope Uncle Mu will approve it."

He performed the courtesy of a junior.

“No need!”

Mu Yunshan refused directly, "When a woman gets married, she must go through three matchmakers and six engagements. Your Highness is so hasty that he wants my daughter to get married without even hiring a matchmaker. Isn't this an insult to my Mu family?"

“…”

The third prince was stunned.

What's going on?

He came here today mainly to attend the morning court session.

He had planned to attend the morning court today in person, but when he arrived at the palace gate, he was told that all princes were not allowed to enter.

He was unable to control the situation at the morning court, so he thought of taking the initiative and controlling the Ministry of War first. After that, no matter who became the prime minister, he would not be able to shake his foundation.

Only half a day.

How could he have the time to arrange three matchmakers and six engagements?

But even if there weren't three matchmakers and six betrothals, the Mu family shouldn't have this attitude!

What exactly has changed?

For a moment, the third prince was a little confused.
