And as Gu Shangqing's original wife, nothing happened to her.
But their fates may have changed, but the plot of the original novel remains the same.
Su Zhier failed to save Gu Shangqing, but Gu Shangqing was still seriously injured and was rescued by another woman.
Li Mumu would be the same even if she was worried about the Saint, the Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince.
Li Mumu changed the fate of her and the Gu family, and also indirectly changed Su Zhier's fate.
But she never interfered in the royal affairs, and of course, she had no right to interfere.
Therefore, up to now, the affairs in the palace are still following the plot of the original work.
This is what Li Mumu is most worried about.
She was worried that the branch line in the palace of the original novel had not been changed.
What Li Mumu is thinking now is, if this is true, then how should she change the side storyline in the palace?
She remembered that in the original book, the saint suddenly fell ill after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Could it be the situation on Mid-Autumn Night?
Fortunately, there are still nearly four months left.
She wanted to use this time to find as many clues as possible.
"When you walk around the court on weekdays, pay more attention and see if there are any clues." Li Mumu said, "I will go to the Crown Princess tomorrow. This matter concerns the Crown Prince. If it turns out to be false, it would be best. But if it is true, the Crown Princess must be prepared."
Gu Shangqing nodded, "But I don't know if General Li has told the Crown Princess about this matter."
"If the Crown Princess had not married the Crown Prince, General Li would probably never tell anyone about it in his entire life." Li Mumu said, "So as not to involve the Crown Princess for no reason."
"But the Crown Princess is married to the Crown Prince. Given General Li's love for her, I'm afraid he would rather believe it than leave her defenseless. He would probably tell her about this secretly." Li Mumu said.
"I will go talk to the Crown Princess tomorrow. If she doesn't know and General Li really didn't tell her, then I will tell her." Li Mumu said, "I believe in the Crown Princess's character. She will definitely not tell anyone about me."
Gu Shangqing nodded, "You two are close friends. Given the Crown Princess's character and wisdom, she will naturally not tell anyone about you."
"Then you can go and discuss it with the Crown Princess tomorrow." Gu Shangqing said, "Can you go to bed now? You still have to see the Crown Princess tomorrow.
It takes a lot of thinking, so you need to get enough rest."
Li Mumu nodded. Although she had not figured out a solution yet, after sharing it with Gu Shangqing, she felt a lot more relieved after having a plan for the first step.
After lying down, he fell asleep not long after.
The next day, Li Mumu went to the East Palace.
Li Zhiyin had already given Li Mumu a badge, so she could enter the East Palace directly without having to hand over the badge.
After receiving the palace servant's report that Li Mumu had arrived, Li Zhiyin was already waiting at the door.
Li Zhiyin saw Li Mumu coming with the palace maids from afar, and without waiting for Li Mumu to come over, she hurried over to greet her.
Just as Li Mumu was about to salute, Li Zhiyin pulled her arm and led her inside, "Why are you being so polite to me?"
Li Mumu smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Li Zhiyin smiled and said, "Who said before that you would come to see me often? But it turns out that I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Summer is coming. I've been thinking about new dishes for several shops at home these days." Li Mumu said with a smile, "I also brought you something new this time."
Li Zhiyin saw the palace servants behind Li Mumu carrying a large box, "What are these? Why are there so many of them?"
After the two men entered the house, the palace servant put down the box and opened the lid.
I saw a few small bottles inside.
"These are a few bottles of fruit tea that I just mixed." Li Mumu said, "It's not that I'm stingy, but these fruit teas can't be kept for a long time. They can only be kept for a day at most, so I brought these for you to try. If you can't drink them, I'll give them to someone else to drink."
"If you have ice in your palace, you can bury these bottles in the ice. Drinking it while it's cool will taste better." Li Mumu said.
The palace servants took out the bottles of fruit tea.
"It's not the hottest yet, so even the East Palace can't use ice early. The palace's ice quota hasn't even been distributed yet." Li Zhiyin said helplessly.
The Eastern Palace looks rich and prosperous, but in fact it is not as free and unrestrained as her life in the boudoir.
General Li loved her very much, and her spending money included not only the public money but also General Li's personal money.
The weather in the northwest gets hot early, which is inconvenient when you are stationed in the army.
But when she returned to General Li's mansion, General Li had already provided her with ice when there was no ice in other rooms.
Mrs. Li's housekeeper,
She controls her spending strictly and also takes the opportunity to control her expenses.
However, General Li's personal supply to Li Zhiyin made Li Zhiyin the one who lived the most luxurious life in the General's Mansion.
How could Mrs. Li not be angry?
But there was no point in being angry, she could only watch, and she couldn't go to General Li to say anything.
That was General Li's own money, and Mrs. Li had no say in it.
But when she came to the Eastern Palace, the prince handed the Eastern Palace over to her to manage, and also gave his private things to Li Zhiyin for safekeeping, telling Li Zhiyin to arrange them as she pleased.
But as the Crown Princess, how could she spend the East Palace's money at will?
She couldn't spend the prince's money casually, so Li Zhiyin didn't dare to buy some ice in advance.
Li Mumu smiled, "The original East Palace was like this. Well, it's also good to drink it directly like this. Summer is still long, it's too early to use ice now, and my family is reluctant to use it."
"These are the skewers I prepared in the shop." Li Mumu introduced them. "Since it's inconvenient for you to go out, I brought them to you. I also brought you a grill."
"Tonight, ask the palace servants to put the charcoal directly into the grill, light it up, and grill these skewers on the grill." Li Mumu said, "These are prepared toppings. You can sprinkle them on while grilling. When it is cooked, these toppings will mix with the fat on the meat and adhere to the meat, emitting their own fragrance. You can try it tonight."
"Okay." Li Zhiyin agreed happily. If it weren't for the inappropriateness of not waiting for the prince to come back, she would have ordered someone to set up the grill and use it with Li Mumu now while Li Mumu was still here.
Without Li Mumu's instruction, Li Zhiyin pulled Li Mumu into the room and dismissed the palace maids.
She and Li Mumu were the only ones left in the room.
Li Mumu then asked in a low voice: "How is your relationship with the prince during this period of time?"
Li Zhiyin blushed slightly. Without her saying anything, Li Mumu understood. "It seems to be very good."
"We'll just have to wait and see the results." Li Zhiyin said, "At least until now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been quite attentive to me and has always thought of me."
"Even if they find something interesting to eat or drink at the eldest or third prince's place, they will bring it back for me to try. When they go out to work, they will come back and talk to me about the people and things they met outside. When they see something interesting or beautiful, they will also bring it back for me."
