Chapter 136: The Marquis’s Wife Faking Her Death (40)

The sergeant patted Mu Ziyi on the shoulder proudly and said firmly, "Of course it's true! I saw it before when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was reviewing the troops."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyi's face turned pale as paper and his lips trembled, as if he found it difficult to accept this fact.

Although he is a marquis, the marquis of Longguo is just a title without real power. Except for the opportunity to meet the emperor once when the title is granted, he cannot meet the emperor at other times.

The Marquis had naturally never seen the Crown Prince, the heir to the royal family, so it was reasonable that he did not know him.

Then, he stared at the sergeant as if he had grasped a lifeline, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "Did His Royal Highness take General Lan's daughter as a concubine?"

"What do you mean by concubine?"

The sergeant's eyes widened, his face filled with surprise and anger. "General Lan's daughter is the only princess consort of our Crown Prince."

After General Lan died in battle, the remaining surviving soldiers were assigned to other generals, but they still missed General Lan deeply.

The soldier who was talking to Mu Ziyi happened to be a subordinate of General Lan, so he was naturally full of respect and loyalty to General Lan.

So naturally, this soldier could not bear to hear anything bad about General Lan, even if it was about the general's daughter Lan Xin.

Mu Ziyi frowned in confusion, "The only one?"

He didn't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have only one woman as the future heir to the throne. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to have only one woman, the Emperor probably wouldn't allow it, right?

The sergeant nodded and said as a matter of course: "Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only has the daughter of our General Lan as his only woman."

Mu Ziyi's eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, "How is that possible? As the future crown prince, the emperor wouldn't allow him to have only one woman, right?"

Mu Ziyi felt very uncomfortable. He just couldn't bear to see Lan Xin leave him and find a better man.

Especially since the status and position of someone like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was far higher than his, he felt extremely frustrated and jealous.

The sergeant explained with a serious face: "How is that impossible? Our emperor also listens to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Besides, our Crown Prince has no interest in the throne, and our current Emperor has always wanted to abdicate."

Mu Ziyi was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't accept this fact and even forgot to ask for leave. He returned to the Marquis' Mansion in a daze.

Along the way, the sergeant's words kept echoing in his mind, and his mood became heavier.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Mu Ziyi sat in the study, staring blankly ahead, his heart filled with resentment and helplessness.

He could never have imagined that Lan Xin would actually marry the Crown Prince and become the Crown Princess.

The more Mu Ziyi thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed his fist on the desk and shouted angrily, "Why? Why did she marry someone else?"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Lin Qingqing heard that Mu Ziyi had locked himself in the room since he came back from outside and had not come out all day.

He came and knocked on the door with some concern.

only……

Lin Qingqing knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside the room.

Lin Qingqing hesitated for a while, and finally pushed the door open and walked in.

"Crench!"

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

As soon as Lin Qingqing entered, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
