Qiu Shuang's phone call changed Xiao Zheng's itinerary. Originally preparing to board the plane back home, he turned around and walked out of the airport and dialed Lao Lin's phone number.
"Hello."
Lao Lin's familiar and warm voice came from the other end of the phone - no, the voice was still the same cold and quiet voice, but in Xiao Zheng's ears, it seemed particularly kind and comfortable.
After all, I haven't seen Lao Lin for nearly ten days. This is definitely a long time for the couple who stay together all year round.
"I was about to board the plane." Xiao Zheng was walking outside the airport with his luggage. "Suddenly received a very shocking news. So I plan to stay for a few more days."
"Is it serious?" Lin Huayin asked with concern on the other end of the phone.
She knew Azheng's character.
Now that we have agreed on a time to go home and suddenly change our mind, it must be because of a big event.
"It's pretty serious, right?" Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and pursed his lips. "Is everything okay at home?"
"It's okay." Lin Huayin warned. "Don't worry about this. It's up to you to act cautiously. Safety first."
The Moscow party caused Lin Huayin a bit of a psychological shadow. Now she doesn't care about anything else, as long as Xiao Zheng is safe.
"I will." Xiao Zheng nodded and sighed softly. "You too, don't work too hard. You must rest when you should. Do you understand?"
"Um."
After a simple conversation, Lin Huayin hung up the phone.
This is also the tacit understanding between the two over the years.
Xiao Zheng thought that ordinary people would definitely not be able to afford the phone bills required to cultivate this tacit understanding. Once, their phone remained open for twenty-four hours, but no one noticed...
When Xiao Zheng got out of the taxi and stood on the flowery commercial street again, he suddenly felt like he was returning to his overseas career.
One person, one suitcase.
There is a dangerous and exciting task in mind.
I don’t know when it will be resolved, and I don’t know when I can return.
Hiding quietly in the darkness, waiting silently.
Wait for the enemy to appear!
This is the situation Xiao Zheng will face next.
Hide yourself in the dark and watch for possible dangers. Accumulate your strength and prepare for a fatal blow!
At this moment, Xiao Zheng's heart was a little confused.
Instead of being able to remain calm, he became a little angry.
This is not the safe situation outlined by His Majesty Ling Lai!
Your Majesty deceived Xiao Zheng and did not tell the truth.
As a party involved, Xiao Zheng never believed that His Majesty Ling Lai had no knowledge of this matter. Even if you don't know the specific truth, you should have received the news.
Otherwise, she would be too incompetent to be the emperor.
All the deceptions and unhappiness were piled up, and he and His Majesty Ling Lai did not have the romance that night—
Xiao Zheng may not return in time because of Qiu Shuang's words.
The feeling of being deceived is really uncomfortable.
Being deceived and taken advantage of makes people even more angry.
But now, Xiao Zheng must step forward.
This should be done both publicly and privately.
It's just that it's not so enjoyable or natural.
"Who will the Zhao family send?"
Outside the window, Xiao Zheng, in a neat suit, lit a cigarette and stared at the neon lights in the distance with cold eyes.
…
Prince Miyamoto was in a very bad mood.
The person who made him feel bad was none other than His Majesty Ling Lai who was sitting in front of him.
But at this moment, he had to sit in front of His Majesty Ling Lai.
Because he wants to strive for the best situation.
Instead of venting personal anger!
What is the best situation? It is definitely not like His Majesty Ling Lai said, being a lackey of the cabinet.
In fact, Prince Miyamoto knows his position very well. He is first of all a member of the royal family, and secondly, he has an interest relationship with the cabinet.
If you really want to be completely reduced to a lackey, even if one day you drag His Majesty Ling Lai into the water and step on His Majesty Ling Lai's shoulders to get into power.
That kind of situation is too passive. They will also be criticized by their tribesmen.
After all, although His Majesty Ling Lai is ambitious and ambitious, he wants to put his hand into the cabinet. But her starting point is from the perspective of the royal family, which is admirable.
From Prince Miyamoto's perspective, he must have a good grasp of the scale.
Otherwise, he is very likely to become a traitor to the royal family. Disdained.
By then, he will be in office and have the full support of the cabinet. Within the royal family, the trust of the clan members will also be lost.
Public opinion.
The grassroots needs it, and so does the pyramid. Want even more.
What the people want is the right way.
At the very least, His Majesty Ling Lai has taken the initiative in this regard.
"Your Majesty, I believe you can see the situation clearly." Prince Miyamoto sat upright, showing basic respect for the emperor.
"What do you see clearly?" His Majesty Ling Lai took a sip from the tea cup and said with an indifferent expression. "Uncle Emperor, not everyone is willing to be a lackey. At the very least, I, Ling Lai, disdain to do so."
"I don't agree with your Majesty's view." Prince Miyamoto pursed his lips and said. "The royal family has long lost its influence. Even you, Your Majesty, only exist powerlessly in the form of symbols."
"There is an old Chinese saying that good birds choose trees to roost in. Since we have lost the initiative, we must make the necessary gestures and take the initiative to form a good relationship with the cabinet. Instead of-" Prince Miyamoto narrowed his eyes slightly. "Pull out the butcher knife."
His Majesty Ling Lai narrowed his eyes and glanced at Prince Miyamoto, and said with a cold expression: "Uncle, I don't quite understand what you mean. Of course, I don't want to hear your explanation of the so-called lowering your stance. What I want to do and what I am doing. All for the benefit of the royal family. Unlike you, who betrayed the royal family and became a lackey for your own selfish desires."
"But the path I chose is the right way." Prince Miyamoto was verbally humiliated by His Majesty Ling Lai repeatedly, and his expression gradually turned cold. "If you follow Your Majesty's approach, our people will be destroyed sooner or later."
What kind of bullshit is it for the benefit of the royal family
Aren’t you, Ling Lai, also motivated by your own selfish desires
Just say it nicely? The real benefits are real!
Emperor Xiaoyao, who was obviously respected by thousands of people, refused to do it and insisted on going against the powerful cabinet. What is it if it's not seeking death
"Over the years, the royal family has knelt in front of the powerful to survive." His Majesty Ling Lai stood up slowly. Word by word. "Since the imperial power is now in my hands, I will not allow the powerful to continue to act arrogantly. At the very least, I want my people to live with dignity instead of begging for mercy!"
Snapped!
Prince Miyamoto patted down the tea cup, stood up suddenly and said: "Your Majesty, you are walking on a dead end!"
"Your path may not be the way to survive!" His Majesty Ling Lai refused to give in.
Prince Miyamoto sneered and asked: "Only living people are qualified to discuss whether it is a road of life or death. Isn't it?"
After a brief pause, Prince Miyamoto said with an indifferent expression: "Your Majesty, I wish you a long life. May your life be as long as the heavens!"
