After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Emperor Qin was even more satisfied with the Seventh Prince. During the dinner, he moved the seat of the Seventh Prince to his side.
Although many people thought it was because the first prince was grounded and the third prince was imprisoned and the fifth prince was not favored, no matter what other people thought, it was a well-known fact that the status of the seventh prince was several times higher than before.
After the dinner, the others dispersed. Chen Lin didn't leave with the crowd, but took a step slowly on purpose. He guessed that Emperor Qin must have a chat with him.
Sure enough, within a few steps, he was stopped by Eunuch Gao.
"Stay high priest, Your Majesty has something to ask."
Chen Lin was invited into the side hall, where all civil and military officials had to report anything.
After the door was closed, Emperor Qin asked straight to the point: "High Priest, what do you think about offering sacrifices to heaven? Lao Qi is a destined person?"
"Your Majesty, I can only say that when His Highness the Seventh Highness offered sacrifices to the sky, he was approved by the gods, otherwise the sky would not have suddenly cleared up when the Seventh Highness stood on the altar."
He paused for a moment before continuing: "As for your majesty asking me about the crown prince, I still say the same thing. Your majesty has a long life, so there is no rush."
"Haha, don't be in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'm still waiting to see my wonderful country after I abdicate."
Chen Lin smiled and said, "There will be a chance."
"Okay, you go down, I want to rest."
Probably because of the rain, Emperor Qin's complexion didn't look very good, no matter how bright his smile was, he couldn't hide his sickness.
When Chen Lin came out, he said to Eunuch Gao in a low voice: "You order someone to invite the imperial physician to come over and give your Majesty a diagnosis and treatment. Your Majesty was caught in the rain, so don't get sick."
Eunuch Gao responded and went to order the people below, while Chen Lin went back to his bedroom.
The door of the inner hall was closed, but the servant who served him stood at the door, and when he came back, he rushed up to greet him.
Seeing the servant's appearance, Chen Lin could guess with his toes which one was coming.
He casually asked, "How long has the Seventh Prince been here?"
"It's been a while, after the Seventh Prince came down, he ordered someone..."
Before the servant could finish speaking, he saw Chen Lin push the door and go in. He glanced at Leng Yue beside him, and swallowed what he couldn't say.
After a while, he asked Leng Yue in a low voice, "Aren't you going in?"
Leng Yue: "... go in and scold me?"
His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince ran to the High Priest's palace to take a bath, what on earth did he mean, his subordinates were clear, how could he be so ignorant.
The candlelight in the room seemed to have been blown out by someone, and it was very late now, so the room was pitch black.
Yu Wenting was in the house, so there was no reason not to light the lamp.
Or is he trying to play some tricks again
Chen Lin's night vision ability is actually pretty good, and he can quickly adapt to a dimly lit space. After looking around, he didn't find the figure of the target person.
Could it be that he sneaked back without letting the servant find out
Suddenly, Chen Lin's eyes fell on the bed.
After he got up, the servant would always raise the curtain, and it would be lowered again when he fell asleep at night, but now, the curtain was lowered.
Yu Wenting on his bed
Chen Lin was taken aback by this thought, didn't he hate his occasional teasing the most on weekdays, why would he run to his bed now
Thinking of the decrease in hatred value this morning, Chen Lin suddenly felt a little suspenseful.
He walked slowly towards the bed step by step.
The person on the bed was also extremely nervous, with both hands holding on to the quilt tightly, the palms began to sweat.
Chen Lin walked halfway, but stopped suddenly. Instead, he walked to the candlestick and lit the candle. The candle light illuminated the whole room, and at the same time, Chen Lin could clearly see the dark shadow on the bed.
He just walked to the bed and lifted the curtain.
The person on the bed was lying straight, wrapping the quilt tightly, only revealing a flushed face.
His eyes were closed, as if he didn't dare to look at him.
Chen Lin laughed: "What are you doing, Your Highness?"
Still refusing to open his eyes, he spoke very quickly: "The High Priest helped me, this is the price I paid, High Priest, don't be embarrassed."
Who is it that is embarrassing
If you have the ability, don't vibrate your eyelashes so much.
Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Yu Wenting was very annoyed, and sat up from the bed, but the quilt on his body slipped down a lot because of his sudden movement, revealing his naked chest underneath.
Chen Linle, is the target person planning to come for real? Wasn't he willing to die before submitting
"How is it? Are you coming or not? I don't mind if you flirt with other imperial brothers, why are you dawdling?"
Chen Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at the target person for a while, feeling a little tentative in his heart, and said deliberately: "I don't have any ambiguity with the princes."
After saying this, he stared at the other person's face calmly, and it turned out that as he expected, the target person's face was no longer as gloomy as before, and it was even stained a little pink.
"I have already said that I don't mind, so why should the high priest explain it?"
However, it is still very stubborn.
Chen Lin understood, and if he used the previous intentional ambiguous trick, he would no longer annoy the target person and increase the hatred value. However, he didn't intend to go all the way to the end. Another way.
With an idea in his mind, he picked up the clothes placed beside him and threw it at Yu Wenting's head, covering Yu Wenting's head tightly.
Yu Wenting tore off the clothes on his head, and when he looked at him, he seemed to be on fire.
"What do you want to do again?"
Chen Lin said rather coldly: "Don't do anything, I didn't expect His Highness to be so stupid, it was just a joke, but he actually took it seriously. I am not interested in His Highness's body, and I have never helped His Highness. Today's matter, but It's just a coincidence."
Yu Wenting's tone suddenly increased: "What did you say?!"
"Chen Lin, you are so brave. How dare you take advantage of your position as the high priest to tease me."
Chen Linna glanced at him sideways, with a frivolous look that deserved to be beaten: "So what? Although Your Highness is angry, can you still punish the minister?"
What he said was the truth, Yu Wenting had just regained the favor, even if he hated him so much, it wasn't about doing anything to him.
"Chen Lin, I will definitely record today's humiliation, and I will pay it back double in the future."
Yu Wenting put on his clothes, and walked towards the door resolutely from his back.
The system said in Chen Lin's mind: [Now it has risen to seventy-five.]
Chen Lin immediately added another sentence while the iron was hot: "Your Highness is really unreasonable. It is clear that you threw yourself into your arms. If the minister refuses to accept it, why does Your Highness turn into anger from embarrassment and hate the minister?"
The footsteps of the target person only paused for a moment, and then, the door was opened, Yu Wenting walked out, and the door was closed by him with a loud bang.
System: [It's eighty now.]
Very good, I can finally have a good night's sleep tonight.
…
After Yu Wenting returned to his bedroom, the heat on his face had not completely dissipated, and he was really angry just now.
He thought that the reason why the man helped him was because he liked him, and no matter how bad it was, it was because he was greedy for his beauty. However, the man said that he did not help him. What happened today was just a coincidence, and the previous targeting of him was also malicious Yes, it's totally different from what Liu Xiang said.
What's wrong with his body, it's just too irritating to insult him like this.
Because he was angry, he didn't care much when he opened the door, and kicked the door open with his feet.
A voice with a smile came from the room: "Who is this that made His Highness angry? Now that His Highness has regained the favor, he should be happy."
Liu Yunhe put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Yu Wenting with a smile on his face. He always had such a gentle appearance, which made people feel close, but at the same time, he really wanted to confide all the troubled thoughts in his heart.
"It's the High Priest."
Liu Yunhe got up and closed the door, beckoning him to continue.
"Liu Xiang, I think, Liu Xiang, you seem to have misinterpreted the meaning of the high priest. He never thought of helping me. He may just simply not like me, so he will make things difficult for me."
Liu Yunhe laughed loudly: "Your Highness is wrong, a shrewd person like the High Priest, even if he doesn't like you, would not use such an obvious method to target you, so I feel that he must be on His Highness's side .”
Yu Wenting was about to shake, but everything he had just encountered surfaced again, making him frown.
"No, it's Liu Xiang, you are wrong."
"Your Highness..."
Liu Yunhe's ending sound dragged on for a long time, as if expressing his helplessness.
"I don't know what happened to His Highness with the High Priest that made His Highness so determined, but I can say that the High Priest is definitely on His Highness's side."
Looking at him with gentle eyes, Yu Wenting suddenly had the idea of telling Liu Yunhe everything, but that kind of thing was always too shameful for him. Confided the matter exactly, but said a general idea.
The fact that he took the initiative to climb the window is naturally ignored.
But Liu Yunhe's eyes seemed to be able to see everything.
"Your Highness, you have just regained the favor. There must be countless pairs of eyes staring at you in the harem below the court. If you report something to the high priest at this time, it will definitely be unfavorable to you. Maybe you will never be killed again." After that, you will no longer be destined for that position, and you may even involve the high priest, so it is completely correct for the high priest to do so."
Yu Wenting only felt that when he met the face of the high priest, his head became a little dizzy, and now he was touched by Liu Yunhe, and he suddenly opened up.
Liu Yunhe said again: "In other words, if the High Priest really doesn't like you, he should take this opportunity to get close to you, and then spread the news. In this way, Your Highness, you will lose your favor."
When Liu Yunhe finished speaking and looked at the Seventh Prince again, he found that the boy's entire face was full of joy.
Looking at it like this, it seems that what he cares about is not whether he can get the help of the high priest, but more like whether the high priest likes him or not.
Could it be that he was really moved
