Li Chong got angry in the palace because of Lu Shijin's disappearance without a trace, while Lu Shijin followed Lin Yongnian out of the palace along the secret passage.
Lin Yongnian led Lu Shijin all the way into the Prince Regent's Mansion. Shen Lingzhang had already left the palace and returned to the mansion for a long time, waiting for news from Lin Yongnian in the mansion.
When Lin Yongnian brought Lu Shijin in front of Shen Lingzhang, Shen Lingzhang was startled when he saw the person, and Lu Shijin also pretended to be puzzled, scratching his head and asking Lin Yongnian.
"Hey, isn't this the Lord Regent? Eunuch Lin, you said you wanted to take me to have fun, why did you bring me to the Regent's house?"
Lin Yongnian coaxed him with a half-smile: "My lord, please be quiet and don't be impatient. I will take you to play as soon as the slave has a chat with the Lord Regent."
Lu Shijin stretched his waist, covered his mouth and yawned, "Oh, well, let's chat quickly, I'm a little sleepy."
Shen Lingzhang and Lin Yongnian walked aside and whispered behind Lu Shijin's back. Lu Shijin didn't care what they said, and sat in the hall drinking tea and eating snacks by himself.
Shen Lingzhang lowered his voice and asked, "How is the investigation of the secret passage going?"
Lin Yongnian: "Don't worry, my lord, the villain has already found the location of the entrance to the secret passage."
"That's good," Shen Lingzhang glanced at Lu Shijin, who was stupefied, and asked with a puzzled frown, "But why did you bring King Ning out of the palace?"
Lin Yongnian smiled slightly, and said: "My lord, before the villain offered a plan to send killers to sneak into the palace to assassinate the emperor. If Li Chong died, in fact, in terms of your age and dominance, my lord, it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
Shen Lingzhang: "How do you say that?"
Lin Yongnian said: "When Li Chong is dead, a new king must be established, but you are the one who has devoted all your energy to the Li family. Why should you let them sit back and enjoy the success? Don't you want to replace him?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Shen Lingzhang's face darkened, and he said displeasedly, "This king has never had the intention of usurping the throne."
"I understand that my lord has no intention of taking the throne, but I am afraid that people in the world will accuse you of being an unjust king, and that other vassals will attack you in the name of Qing emperor," Lin Yongnian said in a low voice, "but if you can become the great treasure in a legitimate way What about it? Isn’t your lord also moved?”
Shen Lingzhang's complexion changed slightly, he stared at Lin Yongnian and moved his lips twice, obviously moved, "Do you have any plan?"
Lin Yongnian straightened up, "As long as you help me ascend the throne first, my lord, and then let me abdicate to you, wouldn't it be justifiable to get the throne?"
Shen Lingzhang heard the words, as if he had heard a joke, and said sarcastically: "Lin Yongnian, so you made this calculation. Let alone whether you are really the son of the late emperor, even if you were, the people who knew the inside story back then are no longer here. In the world, there is no proof, how did you allow me to block Youyou's mouth and push you to the top?"
Lin Yongnian said neither humble nor overbearing: "Of course the words of a dead person cannot be used as evidence, but if the current emperor admits that I am of royal blood, who would dare not believe it?"
Shen Lingzhang flicked his sleeves and sneered, "Joke! Why did you let that little emperor admit your identity?"
Lin Yongnian took advantage of Lu Shijin's inattention, pointed at him, and said with a slight smile, "Don't forget, the emperor's favorite person is now in our hands. If the king of Nanning threatens the emperor to admit my identity, How do you think the emperor will choose?"
Shen Lingzhang looked at Lu Shijin, who was already in deep danger but still didn't know it, and was dozing off like a goose. He frowned and pondered for a while, and seemed to think that what Lin Yongnian said was indeed somewhat reasonable.
He has worked so hard over the years to get to where he is today. He has worked hard for the Li family. He is obviously the one who has made the greatest contribution to the country. Why should he be suppressed by that little emperor? Tell him how to be willing.
Lin Yongnian saw that Shen Lingzhang's heart was moved, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, since ancient times, you have been king and defeated. If you don't try it, how will you know that you are not the son of destiny? Besides, the situation is very beneficial to us. Li Chong is still fledgling, and there is no one in the court. Sincerely help him, a great opportunity is in front of you, you can't miss it!"
Shen Lingzhang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes, the eyes were shining brightly, he had already made up his mind.
"According to what you said, what should we do next?"
—
Lu Shijin opened his eyes again, and found himself lying on a bed. What he saw was a red gauze curtain with gold and embroidered phoenixes. He opened the curtain and looked around. On the wall was a picture of Diao Chan worshiping the moon. There is a hand-held carved mirror inlaid with silver, several ebony jewelry boxes, and some bottles and jars that seem to be rouge gouache.
The censer on the table was burning spices, filling the room with a delicate fragrance, and the furnishings in the room looked like a woman's boudoir.
Lu Shijin got up from the bed, and suddenly the floor shook. He thought it was because he was not standing still, so he supported the edge of the bed to stabilize his body, only to realize that the floor was indeed shaking, but it didn't look like an earthquake.
Lu Shijin went to the window and opened it to look out, all he could see was water, so he was on a boat now!
He recalled what happened after he went to the Prince Regent's Mansion last night. Shen Lingzhang and Lin Yongnian whispered behind his back for a long time, and they didn't know what they talked about, but it was definitely not a good thing.
He waited so bored that he fell asleep before he knew it, and when he opened his eyes, he was already on the boat.
Looking at the sky outside, the sun has slanted to the west, and it must have been past noon.
Lu Shijin is not a person who sleeps like a dead man, it is impossible for him to be taken from the Prince Regent's Mansion to the ship without being conscious.
He guessed that Lin Yongnian must have used drugs or something to fascinate him, and then transferred himself to the boat.
As for why Lin Yongnian did this, one can guess without even thinking about it. He just wanted to use him to blackmail Li Chong.
Lu Shijin opened all the windows in the room to see the surrounding situation clearly. This place seems to be a famous place for fireworks in the capital.
There are flower boats connected by iron chains everywhere, one after another docked on the shore, but it is daytime, before the girls come out for business, it is quiet everywhere, and there is no sound of singing, dancing and laughing at night.
Lu Shijin thought that when Li Chong found him missing last night, he must have been looking for him anxiously, but he was afraid that it would be impossible for him to think that Lin Yongnian would hide him on the flower boat at this moment.
Trying to find someone in the huge capital city is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the flower boat is full of fish and dragons, even if Li Chong sent the forbidden army to search the city, they might not be able to find it for a while.
Lu Shijin roughly analyzed the current situation, settled down, and was not in a hurry to ask Lin Yongnian for questioning. He sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea, which he drank leisurely.
"Convenience store, contact your brother and send my location to Li Chong."
711: "No problem. In fact, 211 contacted me just now. It's just that you haven't woken up as the host, and I'm not good at making claims, so I didn't tell it."
"Good job." Lu Shijin praised without hesitation, "You keep in close contact with 211, let it remind Li Chong as I said, but don't let Li Chong find anything unusual, understand?"
711: "Understood. But host, what are you going to do next?"
Lu Shijin twirled the teacup in his hand, and slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, "Lin Yongnian took so much trouble to set up the stage for me, wouldn't it be a disappointment to his good intentions not to accompany him to finish the play? If he can figure out his script, it is nothing more than blackmailing the emperor with me and forcing him to meet his request, and this request, given Lin Yongnian's obsession with the identity of the late emperor's illegitimate son, may be forcing the emperor to admit that he is also the emperor's identity In this way, in addition to Li Chong, Lin Yongnian is also qualified to inherit the throne, and Lin Yongnian can convince Shen Lingzhang that old fox to help him, he must have promised Shen Lingzhang some benefit, this benefit may be abdication.
711 was surprised: "Lin Yongnian wants to be emperor?"
"May I ask the people in the world, who doesn't want to be the emperor above ten thousand people?" Lu Shijin took a sip of tea and said with a chuckle, "But Lin Yongnian may not be keen on the throne of the emperor, he just doesn't resent his background and feels that he has suffered a lot. unfair treatment, just jealous of Li Chong."
711 sighed and said: "People's jealousy, it's terrible when it explodes."
"But why is he jealous of Li Chong?" Lu Shijin said coldly, "As a prince, Li Chong grew up in the cold palace, and his life is not as good as a favored slave. Lin Yongnian only saw Li Chong sitting on the throne now, but I don't know how much Li Chong suffered before he took the throne, and I don't know that Li Chong is sitting on the throne now, surrounded by wolves, and he is struggling."
711 was silent for a while, and then said: "I have already sent the location to 211. The news from 211 is that Lin Yongnian really asked someone to pass a message to the emperor, saying that you are in his hands. Let the emperor go out of the palace alone to meet."
Lu Shijin: "How did Li Chong decide?"
711: "How else can I decide? You are in Lin Yongnian's hands. He has no choice but to do what Lin Yongnian said."
The temperature in Lu Shijin's eyes has cooled down, and it makes you proud for a while, when the time is right, I will definitely get back your money with interest.
Lu Shijin was thinking about how to deal with Lin Yongnian, and when he said Cao Cao Cao Cao was here, Lin Yongnian opened the door and came in. He was not surprised to see Lu Shijin sitting at the table, and said with a smile, "My lord is awake?"
Lu Shijin put down his cup, frowned displeasedly and asked, "Where is this place? Why did you bring me here?"
Lin Yongnian carried a lunch box, put the lunch box on the table, took out food from it and placed it in front of Lu Shijin.
"Didn't your lord want me to take you out to play? This is the busiest and most fun place in the capital. Are you hungry? Have some food first."
Lu Shijin stood up and slapped the table angrily: "You don't have to lie to me! I have already seen it, and it is quiet around here, and I can't even see a ghost. Where is it fun? Is it lively?! I want to get off the boat! "
Lin Yongnian stretched out his arm to stop Lu Shijin, and Lu Shijin glared at him, "What do you mean!"
Lin Yongnian was too lazy to put on a show with Lu Shijin, and said coldly, "You'd better stay in this room obediently. If you step out of this room, I can't guarantee that something terrible will happen."
Lu Shijin sneered secretly, if he was obedient, would he still be called Lu Shijin
"What if I have to go out? Is it possible that you, a dog slave, dare to kill me?" Lu Shijin swept all the dishes on the table on the ground, and kicked over a few stools, creating a big mess. movement.
The guard outside the door heard the sound and entered, and asked vigilantly, "What's going on?"
Lin Yongnian waved his hand, "It's okay, the kid is just throwing a temper tantrum, go out, it's okay here, just keep the door locked."
The guards got Shen Lingzhang's order to obey Lin Yongnian's order, so they obediently went out and closed the door without asking any more questions.
Lin Yongnian helped the stools kicked over by Lu Shijin one by one, and said with a good temper: "My lord, do you know how much I envy you?"
Lu Shijin: "What do you envy me for?"
"I envy you. You obviously have the blood of a lowly slave, but because of the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, you have become a high-ranking county king." Lin Yongnian pointed at himself and laughed at himself, "And I, obviously, are the genuine Li family. The bloodline has become the servants of you masters who want to drink around! Why is God so unfair?"
"Then you have to ask God, how does this king know?" Lin Yongnian wanted to vent his anger, but Lu Shijin didn't bother to listen, and said dismissively, "Everyone has their own life, it's not determined by the blood flowing in the body, it's up to you It's up to you how you want to live. Lin Yongnian, if you do many injustices, you will die yourself, this king advises you to do it yourself."
Lin Yongnian didn't expect to be able to say these words from a fool, he was surprised and then smiled coldly, "I sometimes doubt whether you are really stupid or not, to hear these words from a fool's mouth, It's really strange."
"You are stupid, your whole family is stupid! Have you finished speaking? Please go out after speaking, my king is going to rest." Lu Shijin shook his sleeves to drive away the guests.
Lin Yongnian didn't want to waste any more time talking with Lu Shijin, so he turned around and prepared to open the door and leave.
Did he ever think that just as he walked to the door, before his hand touched the door, there was a sudden sharp pain from being hit by a blunt object on the back of his head, and then his eyes darkened, and Lin Yongnian's body fell down.
Naturally, it was Lu Shijin who knocked Lin Yongnian unconscious. Now that he knew Lin Yongnian's plan, there was no reason to sit still.
Lin Yongnian was just a pawn, not worth mentioning, and the main thing to deal with was that old bastard Shen Lingzhang.
Lu Shijin dragged Lin Yongnian to the bed, quickly exchanged the clothes they were wearing, then tore the bed sheet into strips to tie Lin Yongnian up, and stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth to prevent him from calling out when he woke up. Then ordered 711: "Convenience store, here are two disguise cards."
711 was already very proficient in using the Yi Rong card. In a short while, Lin Yongnian lying on the bed had turned into Lu Shijin's appearance, and Lu Shijin opened the door and walked out with Lin Yongnian's face on his face.
Lu Shijin closed the door, imitating Lin Yongnian's voice, and ordered the guards in a deep voice: "King Ning is resting inside, don't worry about any movement coming from inside later, just guard this door and don't let anyone in. , did you hear that?"
Guards: "Yes."
Leaving the flower boat without anyone noticing, Lu Shijin entered the Regent's Palace smoothly all the way by virtue of Lin Yongnian's identity.
Shen Lingzhang had been waiting for news from Lin Yongnian in the mansion, and seeing Lin Yongnian coming back to see him, he thought things had progressed.
"How do you say, the emperor promised to come out to meet you?"
"Lin Yongnian" nodded, "The Emperor cherishes Prince Ning like an eyeball. King Ning is in our hands, so he will naturally respond to our requests."
Shen Lingzhang said cautiously: "This king still feels that it is not right at this time. Even if King Ningjun is loved by the emperor, he is not a blood relative after all. Even if it is a blood relative, there is a difference between closeness and closeness. I am afraid that the emperor will not agree to your conditions."
"It's up to people to do it. If you don't do it, how do you know it won't work?" "Lin Yongnian" smiled slightly, "After all, I did it alone. Taking responsibility for the crime with all one's strength will never drag you down."
Shen Lingzhang snorted softly: "Naturally, this matter was done by you alone, what does it have to do with me?"
"Lin Yongnian" smiled faintly: "If this fails, it will be nothing more than a nod to me, and it will not affect your lord at all, but if it succeeds, lord, you will achieve great things in the future, but you must not forget my contribution today, right?" ?”
"I haven't written a word about whether it can be a horoscope, but you want to ask for credit?" Shen Lingzhang sat down on the grand master's chair and said coldly, "Don't worry, if you obediently follow what this king says, this king will never do it in the future." will treat you badly."
"Then I would like to thank my lord first." "Lin Yongnian" bowed and bowed, "But my lord, there are some things that can be said without proof. If there is no guarantee, I worry about whether my future will also become a slander that is said by others." A chess piece that is discarded or discarded? If you look forward and backward like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to serve you better."
Shen Lingzhang looked at "Lin Yongnian" with a condensed expression: "What do you mean by that?"
"Lin Yongnian" straightened his waist, and said calmly: "I would like to ask my lord to make a written statement with me."
"Evidence?" Shen Lingzhang said with a smile, "You really think of yourself as a prince? If this king hadn't saved you, you would have died in the Yeting Bureau that day. How could you stand here and bargain with this king?! "
"Lin Yongnian" said loudly: "That's right, I owe my lord my life, so I'm willing to do anything for my lord. But the clay figurine still has a bit of a temper, and I'm risking my head, not just for myself. If things happen, who will benefit the most, sir, you know very well, I just want a guarantee for the future, to guarantee my prosperity and wealth in the rest of my life, even my lord is unwilling to fulfill this point, could it be that I have done it long ago Are you ready to kill the donkey?"
"You!" Shen Lingzhang blushed with anger when he was poked at the center.
He did have the idea of killing a donkey. Even if he supported Lin Yongnian to become emperor in the future and Lin Yongnian abdicated to him, he didn't intend to let Lin Yongnian live. After all, there is one more person in the world who knows how his throne is. Come, he will never sit still on the dragon chair.
Shen Lingzhang didn't expect Lin Yongnian to speak so directly, and he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while, and felt stuck in his throat.
"My lord, it's almost night, and I'm going to see the emperor soon," "Lin Yongnian" bent down respectfully, and said to Shen Lingzhang, "Please make a decision early."
"What if I refuse to write?" Shen Lingzhang asked sadly.
"Lin Yongnian": "My lord refuses to write, of course I can't help it, but if the villain's second half of his life is not guaranteed, it's not worth it to make a wedding dress for someone else after all the hard work. When the time comes to see the emperor Anyway, I can't guarantee it."
"You are fine. Not only did you dare to threaten the emperor, but you also dared to threaten the king." Shen Lingzhang suddenly reached out and grabbed "Lin Yongnian" by the neck, "Do you know the consequences of angering the king? What are you? Without you , this world will belong to this king sooner or later!"
"Lin Yongnian" was grabbed by the throat, had difficulty breathing, and said intermittently: "My lord... I am not threatening... I just want... to find a way out for myself, as long as my lord can give me a promise... I am willing to be loyal to my lord forever... I hope you will learn from me !"
Shen Lingzhang heard "Lin Yongnian"'s swearing guarantee, and thought for a while, no matter what happens in the future, he still has to stabilize him now, so that he can settle down and do his best for himself.
He's just a slave from a lowly background, even if he is considered, he won't be able to cause any disturbances.
Shen Lingzhang let go of his hand quickly, threw "Lin Yongnian" on the ground, and sneered disdainfully: "Okay, you guys are short-sighted and mercenary, don't you just want to get my king's promise to protect your glory and wealth for the rest of your life?" ? This king promises you, just bring a pen and paper!"
When "Lin Yongnian" heard it, his eyes brightened, he quickly got up from the ground, and went to the desk to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After Shen Lingzhang finished writing the papers, he threw them to "Lin Yongnian" like alms, "Take it, do your best for me. If I can become a great treasure in the future, you will be regarded as the first merit."
"Lin Yongnian" thanked Dade, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! However, my lord, this piece of paper may not be enough. The handwriting can be imitated, which is not enough to prove it. If my lord can give me another token, I will feel more at ease. "
Shen Lingzhang glared at "Lin Yongnian" angrily, but because he had to rely on him to do things now, there was nothing he could do about him, and he hated him so much.
Shen Lingzhang hesitated for a moment, then tore off a jade pendant from his belt, and threw it to "Lin Yongnian".
"Take it, this jade pendant is my king's personal belonging. I have been with this king for decades, and everyone knows that this jade pendant belongs to me. Now you can rest assured?"
"Don't worry, don't worry! Thank you, sir, for the reward!" "Lin Yongnian" held the jade pendant in his left hand and the note in his right, looking left and right, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.
Shen Lingzhang was even more disdainful when he saw it, and said with a sneer: "It's getting late, you hurry up and prepare to see the emperor, and think about what to say after you see the emperor."
"Lin Yongnian" said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord. I've already thought about what to say, so I won't bother you. The villain will leave."
After leaving the Prince Regent's Mansion and walking to a remote alley, Lu Shijin, who no longer had to pretend, could no longer restrain the pride in his heart, and burst out laughing.
"With this note and this jade pendant, if Shen Lingzhang's crimes are announced to the ministers, even if Shen Lingzhang has a hundred mouths, he won't be able to explain it clearly! Hahahaha! I'm so smart!"
711: "What should we do next?"
Lu Shijin put away the note and jade pendant like a baby, and hummed a little tune: "You're done, naturally I'm going to go to my good emperor brother to ask for credit and reward."
"Not good!" 711 suddenly raised the volume, "Li Chong has quietly left the palace and set off to rescue you on the flower boat!"
Lu Shijin suddenly remembered Lin Yongnian who had turned into him on the flower boat at the moment. If Li Chong rescued Lin Yongnian by mistake, or if he found out that he would change his appearance, it would be terrible!
Lu Shijin slapped his forehead, yelled "it's not good", and ran towards the flower boat.
