Happy Emperor

Chapter 78 Taking advantage of the situation

Lin Tian had not taken a few steps when Lin Ruxue called him from behind.

He looked back and saw that there was a hint of mist in Lin Ruxue's eyes.

Lin Tian, ​​who was a little impatient, was touched when he saw her expression.

He asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"

"You said someone wanted me to die in Shengjing. Are you lying to me?"

Lin Ruxue stared at Lin Tian and questioned in a low voice.

Although she now feels that something is a little strange.

Her father loved her so much, so logically speaking, it was impossible for him to send her to Shengjing for peace talks.

But what Brother Lin Zhen said is also correct.

Only if she came could her father show his sincerity in the peace talks.

"There must be a misunderstanding."

"It's probably because my timid brother misrepresented the order, or...or maybe my father sent Lin Zhen here to negotiate, and he didn't dare to let me come."

Lin Ruxue thought secretly in her heart.

"I don't know. I don't care if anyone wants to kill you."

Lin Tian was so angry that he couldn't fight when he heard it.

People say that women with big breasts are stupid, but how come women with flat breasts are not stupid either?

"you......"

After being retorted by Lin Tian, ​​Lin Ruxue stood there angrily.

Lin Tian ignored her and turned around and left quickly.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped again.

"Zhen Niumeng deliberately provoked me, hoping to prevent any reconciliation between him and the King of Pingdong. So why don't I take advantage of their trick? Let the people behind the scenes mistakenly believe that I killed Lin Ruxue. Then..."

Thinking of this, Lin Tian returned and walked to Lin Ruxue's side.

"You, what are you going to do?"

When Lin Ruxue saw Lin Tian returning quickly, she became alert instantly.

The body is slightly tilted back.

"Are you still trying to sow discord? I won't be fooled."

"Sowing discord?"

Lin Tian was speechless.

This thing must have been sold, and I have to help count the money.

Finally, I have to say 'thank you' to them!

"Whether it's an attempt to sow discord or not, you'll know in the future."

Lin Tian said coldly: "You just need to cooperate with me in putting on a show. If no one wants to harm you, I will set you free."

"What you said is true."

"Yeah." Lin Tian nodded.

"As the Son of Heaven, I certainly won't break my promise like you."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Lin Ruxue was very confident that no one would harm her given how popular she was in the territory.

"Don't agree too soon. Acting comes with sacrifices."

Lin Tian said coldly: "You should be mentally prepared."

"You...what are you going to do?"

Lin Ruxue looked at Lin Tian, ​​who had a malicious look on his face, and protected her chest with her hands.

Lin Tian: “.......”

"It's not the kind of 'sacrifice' you imagine. As long as you..."

"I won't do it!"

After hearing this, Lin Ruxue immediately refused.

"Uncle Zhen has always been very kind to me since I was a child. I won't help you deal with her."

"Do you know what it means to know a person's face but not his heart?"

Lin Tian said coldly: "Besides, as long as he hasn't done it, I guarantee that he won't die!"

Lin Ruxue frowned, feeling conflicted.

"Don't you want to know the truth? Or do you not want to get rid of me and leave Shengjing?"

Seeing this, Lin Tian whispered seductively.

"If he's not who you say he is, can you promise not to touch him?"

"I promise not to move!"

Lin Tian replied hurriedly.

After saying this, Lin Tian seemed to feel that he had said this to a girl before.

That was a story from my college days in my previous life, and it happened in a cheap hotel next to the school...

"Okay, I promise you."

"Okay, you have to be ready tonight."

After saying that, Lin Tian quickly walked towards the imperial pharmacy.

The three thousand taels given to Cao Charlie were well spent. He could even develop a potion to make people fake their death, so what else could he not develop?

.......

Shengjing, the residence of the Chief Secretary of the Prince of Pingdong.

Zhen Niumeng was lying on the bed with half of his butt exposed.

A young and beautiful maid was carefully applying ointment to him.

"Be gentle!"

Zhen Niumeng's forehead was covered with sweat, and he angrily scolded the maid beside him.

At this moment, the door of the inner room was pushed open.

Two middle-aged men walked in with smiles.

"Master Zhen, why are you so angry?"

One of the men laughed.

If you often go to Yanyu Pavilion, you will find that the man who is speaking is Master Li of Yanyu Pavilion of the Seven Nations Alliance, whose name is Li Deli.

"Shopkeeper Li, it must be because your courtesan's skills are not good enough that Master Zhen is so unhappy."

The other man stroked his beard and made a teasing sound.

"How are my oiran's skills? Didn't you just experience it?"

"Stop making sarcastic remarks."

Zhen Niumang waved his hand, and the beautiful maid immediately stood up and left.

He then asked fearfully, "Manager Li, you came to my house so brazenly, aren't you afraid that the tyrant emperor's spies will find out?"

"I came here in Lord Situ's carriage, so the tyrant king won't find out." Li Deli comforted him.

"Of course no one can stop Situ Ming in Jilu Province, but this is Shengjing." Zhen Niumeng said angrily in a low voice.

Jilu Province is one of the three provinces under the vassal state of King Pingdong, and Situ Ming is the governor of the province.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Zhen Niumeng is so wary.

Emperor Li had just warned him this morning.

If there were any more mistakes, although Emperor Li could not execute his entire clan, his life would certainly be in danger.

"This time, I came with the token bestowed upon the prince by the late emperor. Even a tyrant king would be forced to show some courtesy to him."

Situ Ming said coldly with a look of disdain on his face.

"The Emperor's Token!"

Zhen Niumeng chuckled secretly.

He didn't know Emperor Li's methods, let alone the token of the previous emperor.

Even if the late emperor crawled out of the imperial mausoleum now, he would probably be buried back if he offended Lin Tian.

"Master Zhen, I won't waste any more time talking nonsense."

Situ Ming put away his smile and asked Zhen Niumeng, "How is it going?"

"Look at me like this, can't you see it?"

Zhen Niumeng was a little indignant.

When he was being beaten with the stick just now, Situ Ming was in the arms of a gentle woman.

When I came back I started asking how things were going.

This doesn't care about your own life or death at all!

"How did you let the tyrant know Lin Ruxue's identity? He didn't suspect it, did he?"

Situ Ming asked anxiously.

"Uh...I'm not the one who revealed that."

"I don't know what happened this morning. Emperor Li knew the princess's identity before I could tell him."

Zhen Niumeng told everything in detail.

"That would save a lot of trouble!"

Situ Ming sneered and said, "Master Zhen, the young prince's order is to keep your princess in Shengjing. You understand what he means, right?"

"But......"

Zhen Niumeng was shocked after hearing this. He originally thought that Emperor Li was just going to know the princess's identity and detain her in Shengjing, but he didn't expect that he was going to kill the princess.

He wanted to shirk responsibility, but if this matter were ever leaked, King Pingdong would certainly kill his entire family, leaving no one alive.

He was a little embarrassed: "The princess is now under the control of Emperor Li, I have no chance to take action! And you know the princess's skills. With the people in my house, there is no way they can do anything to her."

"That's your business. Remember, once the princess returns to her territory, you and I will both die!"

Situ Ming threatened.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about manpower. We in Yanyu Pavilion have hidden masters."

Li Deli said with a sly smile, "However, Master Situ, can the young prince guarantee that as long as the princess dies in Shengjing, the Prince of Pingdong will launch a northern expedition?"

"Don't worry. Before we came here, the King of Pingdong was furious. He swore in front of all the generals that if anything happened to the princess, he would not forgive the tyrant. And with the young prince's efforts behind the scenes, this will definitely be accomplished."

Situ Ming said this with a solemn oath.

"The young prince also said that as long as the Zhao State behind you fulfills its promise and helps him achieve hegemony, he will also help you deal with those three kings of different surnames."

"Don't worry. Please tell the young prince that although Zhao cannot send troops directly, it will restrain the three kings of different surnames from interfering in this matter."

Li Deli laughed coldly and said, "As for the silver, it's not a problem at all. As long as the young prince returns it in full after he becomes emperor, that's all that's fine."
