Lin Yi waved his jade bone fan as he paced back and forth. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I've come to ask for your help."

"What is it? If you have any orders, just do it." Bao Fu Huan's eyes were wide open as he curiously looked at Lin Yi.

"I want you to call Qingfeng out." Lin Yi said.

"What's the point of calling her? Stupid and boring." Bao Fu Yun turned his head away, refusing to look into Lin Yi's eyes.

Lin Yi had been friends with Bao Fusheng for many years, so he naturally understood his thoughts. While he said no, he was actually eager to have the opportunity to get along with him.

"I sent people to investigate. She and Su Mu are best friends. I want you to come with me to the Su family. Su Mu might be hiding something from me." Lin Yi had always felt that his guess was right, but since the king wasn't willing to tell him, there was only one reason. Su Mu didn't want this child.

Judging from the current situation, this child truly did not come at the right time. The late emperor had not passed away, and now that he was so busy with matters, he could not marry Su Muwen into the palace before she became pregnant. Beating the child away, whether it was him or her, was the best choice.

But reason is reason, emotion is emotion. Lin Yi could not bear to part with this child.

"Then why don't you go and ask directly?" Bao Liusheng did not understand Lin Yi's thoughts.

"The empress dowager might have planted someone by my side, so I didn't dare look at Su Mu." Lin Yi shook his head.

Bao Fu immediately understood. Lin Yi was the empress dowager's only surviving son. He was highly valued by the empress dowager, and upon reaching a certain level, he became possessive and controlled.

"If you have time, help me check on the situation with Governor Hu Rui of Zhejiang Province." Lin Yi closed his jade bone fan and said with a straight face, "Today, the empress dowager mentioned to me the matter of marrying Hu Rui's daughter, Hu Chi."

Bao Fusheng's expression turned serious. "In order to overthrow the Yan family, Hu Rui led troops to the capital and has been stationed outside the city ever since. If they really have other intentions …"

"I'm counting on you." Lin Yi had a smile on his face as he patted the bag on his shoulder.

Bao Fu Cheng shouted, "There's no justice in this world!" "Is there anyone who would squeeze a patient like you?"

"I think you're doing very well. You even have the mood to tease the maid." Lin Yi said.

Bao Fu Xu pouted.

"I'll head back to the palace first. It's so easy to settle this matter."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bao Fusheng said helplessly.

Bao Liusheng sent Lin Yi away from the quiet Bao Mansion. The house was spacious and only the two of them lived in the house, while Madam Bao stayed in her own house all year round. She had even dismissed a large number of servants the year before yesterday, making it seem that the house was devoid of any fumes.

If he didn't cause trouble for Bao Fusheng, Lin Yi was afraid that he would be unable to hold his breath and cause trouble.

Bao Fu Yun waved towards the distant Lin Yi and called over the coachman of the Bao Residence to escort him to the Zhuo Residence.

Compared to the Bao Clan, the Zhuo Clan was much smaller. In the end, there was only one person, Qingfeng.

After Bao Fu told the coachman not to tell his mother about his visit to the Zhuo Mansion, he knocked on the door. The Zhuo Family butler opened the door, big and tall, with muscles visible through his wide sleeves.

The butler was expressionless at first, but when he saw the young man, his face was filled with anger.

The steward was originally a soldier under Zhuo Tianxing's command. In one battle, his leg was cut by the enemy, so he had to fight desperately. His leg was not treated properly, so he was crippled. Afterwards, Zhuo Tianxing died in battle and after Madam Zhuo lost her life, the housekeeper came to the Zhuo Mansion to take care of the Zhuo Family's eldest daughter.

Most of the people in the Bureau knew that the conspiracy had been set up by Bao Fu Sheng's father, using the lives of Zhuo Tian Xing and thirty thousand soldiers as bait in exchange for peace in the southwest.

In the eyes of the common people, no one was wrong. Bao Qingyu was a wise man, and his death was worth it. However, to the relatives and friends of the deceased, Bao Qingyu was a schemer and a villain.

"What are you doing here?" The butler picked up the broom on the side and was about to kick the bag out.

"Uncle Xu, who's here?" Zhuo Qingfeng wore a light yellow summer dress. His eyebrows were as slender as a painting and his eyes flickered like stars. There was a pearl flower on his bun with tassels hanging off it. As she walked over, the tassels swayed gently.

Every time he saw a light breeze, he would always remember a sentence he had seen before: When there was nothing to do, he was like a flower in water, and when there was no action, he was like a weak willow in the wind.

Bao Fusheng was dazed for a moment.

When Qingfeng saw Bao Fu's face, he instantly gripped his skirt and forgot to take a step forward. He kicked on the doorstep and was about to fall to the ground.

The butler quickly threw away the broom and was about to pick it up when he saw Bao Fusheng hug Zhuo Qingfeng.

Zhuo Qingfeng held onto the bag of floating sleeves and looked up at him in his arms.

"Let go." The butler stepped forward and pulled the two away, protecting Qingfeng behind him.

The housekeeper's figure was majestic, and completely covered Qingfeng's petite body.

Bao Fu Sheng couldn't help but tilt his body, looking at Qing Feng's tightly pursed lips.

"Uncle Xu, let him in. There must be something." With a sad smile on her face, she naturally knew that if it wasn't for something else, Bao Fu Yun would not have come to find her.

Since Zhuo Qingfeng opened his mouth, the butler would naturally not stop him. However, he still vigilantly followed behind Bao Fusheng.

Along the way, Bao Fusheng had already thought of an excuse, but when he stood in front of Qingfeng, he was at a loss for words.

Zhuo Qingfeng had a faint smile on his face as he walked in the yard with his bag. The Zhuo Mansion only had one or two servants. They spent most of their time in the servants' courtyard and the two maids that the empress dowager had bestowed upon them. However, they rarely served Qingfeng.

Bao Fu Yun never met anyone after coming in for so long.

In the Zhuo Family's courtyard, there was a deep pond. The blue-green water in the pond was rippling under the sunlight. From time to time, the red carp would stick its head out.

Zhuo Qingfeng carried his bag up to the pavilion by the side of the pond. On the pavilion, there was a small bowl of fish food.

The breeze scooped up a spoonful of fish food and sprinkled it onto the pond. In an instant, a large group of red carp surrounded the pond.

Ye Zichen didn't want to disturb the peace at this moment.

"Why did you come here?" Zhuo Qingfeng looked at the fish in the pond, and the smile on his face became much more real.

"Your majesty is worried about Su Mu's health and wants to find someone to accompany her. When I heard that you and Su Mu are close friends, I wanted to find you, but I was afraid that the empress dowager would misunderstand, so I asked me to come."

"How did he know I wouldn't misunderstand?" The sound of the breeze was extremely soft. Before it could even reach Bao Fusheng's ears, it had already been blown away by the wind and scattered across the lake surface.

"I have indeed not seen Su Mu for a long time." Qingfeng had been to the Su Clan several times, but he had been stopped by someone. Now that he thought about it, it should have been someone that Lin Yi had left behind.

Now that he told her to go and see him, perhaps Su Mu had already woken up.

The butler brought the carriage over, and Bao Fusheng also sat on the carriage with a straight face.

The butler's face darkened and was about to pull him down.

Bao Fu Cheng extended two hands that were wrapped up like pig's feet: "Uncle Xu, you can't possibly let a patient run two streets, can you?"
