Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 1137 The prince likes to sleep, find a quiet place to sleep

Lin Su smiled: "Sir, didn't you give the answer just now? I want to serve the Immortal Dynasty and help our dynasty gain the advantage of the literary war, that's all. And gaining the advantage of the literary war will benefit our dynasty, the East Palace is involved, and the Southern Palace is also involved, so what's the difference?"

"You don't understand?" The middle-aged scholar's face darkened slightly.

"Please forgive my ignorance. I really don't understand."

“……” The middle-aged scholar was speechless at this point.

The atmosphere was depressing.

Another person beside the prince sighed: "There are also stupid people, be more direct!"

This was an old man dressed in purple. He originally had little presence among the many young people in their prime, but his opening words made him the center of attention.

The middle-aged scholar nodded gently: "Lin Su, you have two paths in front of you! First, make a vow to the Heavenly Dao, and obey the orders of the Crown Prince. If you disobey even a little, you will die! Once the vow is made, the path in front of you will be opened at your fingertips, and the White Jade Literature Battle that you long for can also be fulfilled!"

"What about the second way?" Lin Su slowly raised his head.

"The second option is to become a musician summoned by the East Palace."

What is a call musician?

You come when you call, and go when you wave. The prince is free and wants to listen to music. Come over and play a song for him...

If the first one is a bright and smooth path, the second one is humiliating.

A dignified and talented person like Ledao, at this stage, has become a character equivalent to a prostitute.

Lin Su's expression did not change at all: "What about the third way?"

Everyone frowned at the same time...

The middle-aged scholar said coldly: "It seems that you are not only blind, but also blind! I have already told you that there are only two ways, there is no third way!"

Lin Su said: "Then... goodbye!"

He turned around and walked out of the meeting room.

The prince's eyes suddenly opened, and at this moment, the leisurely and comfortable look on his face disappeared.

Perhaps what he wanted to show in front of Lin Su was that he was leisurely and comfortable. When Lin Su turned around and couldn't see him anymore, he stopped pretending.

"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment!" came the old man's hoarse voice.

Lin Su stopped and slowly turned around.

The prince was relaxed again at this moment, with his eyes half closed.

The old man asked, "Master Lin, do you really want to leave the East Palace?"

"I have come all the way here, so why would I want to leave? I just can't do the two things this gentleman has mentioned. Since there is no third option, what else can I do if I don't say goodbye?"

"Can't do it? Not intentionally... can't do it?" The old man narrowed his eyes.

“It’s really impossible!”

"Why?"

Lin Su smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, old man, it's inconvenient for a student like you to answer the question of 'why'."

"It's inconvenient to answer? Why?" The old man frowned slightly.

"Because this answer sounds like preaching, I am a humble student and cannot teach you. In fact, I have no obligation to teach you. Therefore, I will leave with a bit of dignity!"

The words fell silent, and the man turned around and strode out.

The East Palace Council Hall was completely quiet.

A dark line appeared on the old man's face without any warning.

Lin Su was humble and polite throughout, and his tone was gentle throughout.

But who couldn't hear the contempt hidden in the politeness in the last sentence?

He said he was not in a position to answer, but he actually answered anyway.

He said that he was insignificant and his words did not count, but with his domineering attitude, had he ever had the basic understanding that people with insignificant power had little influence?

However, he did not say a single word that violated any taboos throughout the entire process. Even though he had silenced the world-famous chief instructor of the Eastern Palace in person, no one could do anything to him.

Lin Su went down the seven steps of the East Palace and saw a bridge in front of him.

Wild flowers were blooming beside the bridge. Next to the flowers, Ji Qianling slowly raised his head and asked, "What's the situation?"

Lin Su smiled and said, "Let's go back to Wenyuan and talk while we eat rabbit."

Seeing the smile on his face, Ji Qianling's heart suddenly jumped. He was smiling so happily and relaxedly. What did it mean? Was he really recruited by the prince?

But the pig jumped: "I have eaten all the rabbits! I will go back to the sect and catch a few..."

It took off from the spot and disappeared.

The smile on Lin Su's face froze: "Did she really go back to the sect to catch rabbits?"

"It seems so!" No one knew what expression there was on Ji Qianling's face.

"Has she always been so honest?"

"..." Ji Qianling shook his head gently: "Let's go back to Wenyuan!"

This is not an answer to Lin Su's question.

Because she couldn't answer Lin Su's question.

This girl is probably the laziest and weirdest one in the girl world. She is honest... haha, has she ever seen how to write the word "honest"? Today, she is just obsessed with girls, a serious case of being obsessed with girls!
The two of them traveled across the sky and returned to Wenyuan, and came to their "Juxianju" amid a group of students bowing to them.

Ji Qianling stopped and asked: "Go to your place or to my place?"

"what ever!"

"Let's go to my place!" Ji Qianling took a step towards the door of Juxianju. The door turned into thin lines under her feet and became a cloak on her shoulders in the blink of an eye. The two of them walked through the corridor and came to the backyard amidst the greeting of seven or eight maids - she had seven or eight maids, which was probably the difference between her and Lin Su.

But Lin Su didn't care at all, because he knew that among Ji Qianling's seven or eight maids, only two were truly assigned to her by Wen Yuan, and the rest were from Luo Tian Sect.

The backyard looks more like a front yard against the backdrop of a small lake outside.

Under the same big tree, there is the same coffee table.

Ji Qianling waved her hand lightly, and a set of tea sets appeared on the coffee table.

She lightly tapped the coffee table with her bare hand, and an ancient lamp appeared on the coffee table.

The ancient lamp was lit, and the faint light covered an area of ​​thirty feet in radius.

Lin Su's eyes suddenly lit up as he stared at the ancient lamp...

"This is the ancient Night Firefly Lamp. Its greatest function is to isolate one side of the world. Even a master in the All-Things Realm cannot hear our conversation!" said Ji Qianling.

Lin Su nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

Ji Qianling said: "Now you can tell me, what is the situation?"

Lin Su's face slowly showed a smile again: "The situation is pretty good."

"Good? What's a good way?" Ji Qianling's heartbeat accelerated again.

Lin Su said: "The atmosphere in the East Palace is quite good. The several great scholars under the crown prince are very friendly. They have no grudges against me, who may have had an affair with the third prince. They calmly pointed out two clear paths for me."

"Which two clear paths?"

"The first clear path is that I will swear an oath to the heavens and be loyal to the prince from now on. My future will be bright."

Ji Qianling's eyes flickered: "Objectively speaking, this is indeed a bright path. Have you chosen it?"

Lin Su shook his head: "I really want to choose this path, but I forgot how to make the Heavenly Oath. I really want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to teach me, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sleeping."

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sleeping?" Ji Qianling caught a key word.

"Well, there are at least a dozen people around him, and it's very lively. He can even sleep with two beautiful maids massaging his shoulders and back. This shows that our prince is really different from ordinary people. It is a great fortune for the Xian Dynasty to have such a prince!"

Ji Qianling suddenly felt his whole body relax.

His tone is extremely relaxed, his narration is extremely relaxed, but the sense of picture is still there.

As soon as this picture came to mind, Ji Qianling clearly knew the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Those who are talented but not valued are all dissatisfied, but how many people can express their dissatisfaction so directly in such a relaxed tone?

"What about the second bright path?"

Lin Su smiled: "The second bright path is more tolerant. I don't have to make this oath to heaven, and the door to the East Palace can still be opened for me."

Ji Qianling's heart was in suspense again: "What kind of road?"

"They suggested that I serve as the Eastern Palace's summoned musician! When the prince is interested, I can go to the Eastern Palace and play a song for him!" Lin Su said.

The scene was completely frozen!

If the first picture just showed the prince's contempt for him, then the second picture was an absolute insult.

"Is there no third option?" Ji Qianling let out a breath.

"Senior Sister, you are truly my soulmate! I also asked them if there is a third option, and they said no."

Ji Qianling asked: "And then?"

"And then... nothing happened! I left the East Palace and met you and Zhu'er. Zhu'er flew off to catch rabbits, while you stayed here, waiting hopefully for the spring breeze I would bring."

Ji Qianling sighed softly: "Want a drink?"

Lin Su smiled: "Aren't we drinking now?"

"I'm talking about wine!"

"Why do you have to drink?"

"For those who are talented but not appreciated and have just suffered a setback, wine is probably the best consolation. Although I don't like drinking, I can still have a few drinks today." Ji Qianling stretched out her hand gently, and a beautiful wine jug appeared out of thin air in her palm.

Lin Su said: "If you just want to drink to relieve your sorrow, then there is no need to drink."

Ji Qianling had already poured out the wine, but suddenly he retracted it strangely, and slowly raised his eyes, with a strange light in his eyes...

Lin Su said: "I came here today just to see what kind of person this Crown Prince is."

"You saw him after all!"

"Yes, I saw him after all, but unfortunately, he fell asleep and didn't see me!"

Ji Qianling asked: "So?"

"So, I personally think that for someone who likes to sleep like him, it would be best for him to find a quiet place to sleep well. The complicated and noisy environment of Baiyu Wenzhan is really not suitable for him."

Ji Qianling's frenzy reached its peak in an instant.

The White Jade War was held by the prince at his order.

Full control.

And what did he say?
Let the prince leave this noisy environment and find a quiet place to have a good sleep!
Lin Su slowly raised his eyes and said, "I wonder if the Second Prince thinks the same way?"

Can you not want to?

Given the current situation, it’s a dead end for the Second Prince!

Why?

The Crown Prince was ordered to hold the Baiyu Literary Contest. Whoever won would win the Princess of Baiyujing, and from then on the Second Prince would no longer be his opponent.

What if they lose? The entire Immortal Dynasty cannot bear it.

In this situation, the prince actually controls the public opinion of the entire court, and supporting him is the politically correct thing to do.

Even if the Second Prince was full of dissatisfaction and a sense of crisis, it was impossible for him to go against the trend. Otherwise, the accusation of "destroying the overall situation of the Immortal Dynasty for his own selfish interests" would come out of nowhere, and no one would be able to bear it.

And now, Lin Su raised a key question.

What if we don't destroy the Baiyuwenzhan itself, but just change the leader?
There is nothing wrong with that.

The battle of Baiyuwen concerns the Immortal Dynasty.

But the Baiyuwen War did not say that the prince must take the lead.

If the Crown Prince cannot take the lead and the Second Prince takes over, wouldn't the entire situation be turned upside down in an instant?
"Do you have a magic trick that can change this deadlock?" Ji Qianling locked his eyes tightly.

However, Lin Su's eyes were still clear, without any information she wanted. Lin Su smiled: "Sister, do you hope to get this wonderful method?"

"Yes!"

"Would you like to give me something, Senior Sister?"

"As long as you succeed, the conditions... I might as well give them to you directly!" Ji Qianling's eyes flashed: "First, you successfully participate in the White Jade Writing Competition; second, His Royal Highness the Second Prince can promise not to attack the King of Nanjiang, on the contrary, he can also protect him to fulfill the meaning of your encounter with him; third, the door of the Luotian Sect headquarters will be opened for you; fourth..."

Lin Su raised his hand gently: "Senior Sister, you misunderstood. This is not a transaction, and I don't need any reward. I just want some information about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"material?"

"Without detailed information, how can we find a way to break this impasse?"

Ji Qianling was stunned: "You mean, up to now, you still don't have any idea of ​​any magic method?"

"Yes! So what I just said was: I hope to find this magic method, not that I have already found it!"

"You win by making a mistake!" Ji Qianling shook his head gently: "But do you know that in a very sensitive area, using a mysterious tone to give people great hope, but in the end it is a bucket of cold water poured on their heads, is a very bad behavior?"

Lin Su explained: "This is nothing. You will know in the future that the three words "deserving to be punished" are almost a label on my head. As my closest senior sister, you will get used to it..."

"I believe you! I believe you completely!" Ji Qianling stretched out his hand and handed a jade pendant to him: "The information inside is all the information about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Anyway, you and I have been quite frank with each other. Today I will be frank again. The think tanks under the Second Prince have read through this pile of information..."

"I can't find a good solution even after searching through so many pages. I really feel sorry for the Second Prince. What kind of people are his subordinates..."

The sound stopped suddenly.

He buried his head in reading the documents.

Ji Qianling bit her lips.

Bastard! Who are you looking down on? The Second Prince has no one under him? Are the people of Luo Tianzong not human?!
Has the fox's tail finally been revealed?
You are full of resentment towards Luo Tianzong in your heart!

If you can damage Luo Tian Sect, you will definitely do so! !

Time passed minute by minute.

It was quiet.

As the sun sets, a few fallen leaves float down from the big tree.

Zhu'er came back, excitedly waving a spirit rabbit in his hand, and was about to run to Lin Su to act like an alternative little licker, but was intercepted by her own lady.

Ji Qianling gave her two moves.

The first action was to keep quiet. The pig was actually not stupid. She understood and used the rabbit to cover her mouth.

The second action is to ask her to bake immediately.

The pig immediately ran away.

Lin Su smiled: "The color of this rabbit is different from the rabbits running around in the mountains. If I'm not mistaken, even if it's not a breeding rabbit, it must be the most beloved one by the master."

This girl is really sincere in trying to please a man! Ji Qianling's heart was in turmoil, but she spoke calmly: "It's nothing, the breeding rabbits are gone anyway, and the spirit rabbits will be served on the second prince's table sooner or later. I don't think the second prince has the intention to eat spirit rabbits at the moment."

"The Second Prince is waiting for the birth of a miraculous method now, right?" Lin Su said.

"I think so!"

presumably……

Lin Su smiled lightly: "Are there any taboos in the Second Prince's actions?"

"Who doesn't have taboos when it comes to the actions of a royal family member?" Ji Qianling said, "But..."

She didn’t say anything else, but Lin Su understood: “However, when facing a dead end, everyone actually has no taboos. This is human nature. As long as he is still a human being, he can’t get rid of this worldly custom.”

Ji Qianling's eyes fell on his eyes, and the look in her eyes seemed to freeze the autumn wind.

"You found a forbidden method?"

"It's not particularly taboo. To be exact, it's a very simple method..." Lin Su held up the teapot in front of him and began to heat it in his palm.

"Tell me about it!" Ji Qianling's eyes lit up.

Lin Su smiled slightly: "There are some key things that you and I will review. I will talk and you will listen. Don't ignore any information. If there is any mistake, correct it immediately!"

"it is good!"

Lin Su poured the boiling water from the teapot into his teacup. There were more than ten tea leaves in it. These tea leaves were exactly the Green Clothes Love Tea that he brought with him...

He sipped the tea and began to talk about what he had sorted out from a large pile of information...

The mother of Crown Prince Ji Yun, Li, was originally a saintly daughter of Emperor Hao Yuanzong.

The current Immortal Emperor Ji Chang was also in a fierce competition for the throne thirty years ago. At that time, he was not the crown prince, but only the second prince. He was originally at a disadvantage. However, Hao Yuanzong took the initiative to form a marriage alliance with him and sent the saint to marry him. He received the full support of Hao Yuanzong, which led to the "Hunting Palace Incident". He eliminated the crown prince, and three years later, the previous emperor passed away, and he ascended the throne.

When the Immortal Emperor ascended the throne, Saint Hao Yuan was promoted to the first-rank imperial concubine.

The Haoyuan Sect also became a super sect by virtue of its following the dragon. The sect's strength is growing by leaps and bounds, and it is now the leading super sect in the entire Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty.

Therefore, the Crown Prince has two most powerful foundations. First, the clan behind his mother. Second, his mother's contribution to his father.

It is reasonable and unchangeable for his position as the crown prince in the Immortal Dynasty system.

Are there any problems with these?
Lin Su stopped here and took a sip of tea.

Ji Qianling shook his head gently: "No problem!"

"Okay, let's talk about the specific details!" Lin Su said, "The Immortal Emperor ascended the throne, and the overall situation of the world was settled. Li returned to Haoyuan Sect on the Lantern Festival of that year, under the banner of worshiping ancestors, inheriting destiny, and preparing to conceive a dragon son. She stayed in the sect for seven days and returned to the Immortal Capital on the 22nd day of the first lunar month. On the 23rd day of the 10th month of that year, the prince was born. Is there any problem with the timing?"

Ji Qianling's eyes flickered, and she really wanted to ask him what he wanted to say, but they had an agreement at the beginning that she only needed to answer the accuracy of the factual part, so she shook her head and said no problem.

All these times are accurate to the minute and recorded in the "Immortal Palace Chronicles". How could they be wrong?

This is the rigor of the royal family.

Lin Su said: "Let's talk about the issue of the children of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor. It's really interesting..."

When the Immortal Emperor Ji Chang was a prince, he had a princess. This princess had also been pregnant before, but the month after Saint Hao Yuan got married, the fetus in her belly inexplicably became stillborn, and she never got pregnant again after that.

The prince also had concubines back then, and two of the three concubines died of illness one after another. Coincidentally, both died within a year after Saint Hao Yuan married into the family. Even more coincidental was that the two concubines who died of illness were found to be pregnant after their autopsies.

After all the coincidences, the direct result was that when this Immortal Emperor ascended the throne, he had no children.

This is how the crown prince becomes the crown prince from the moment he is born.

Ji Qianling's eyes lit up: "I seem to understand what you mean! You mean that the Immortal Emperor's children were killed by Concubine Li at the beginning. Her purpose was to clear all obstacles on the road to succession as soon as her son was born."

"Do you think it's possible?" Lin Su asked her back.

"How can this be impossible? In my opinion, this is an ironclad fact!" Ji Qianling said, "When the Haoyuan Sect took this step, they were aiming for a great cause that would last for thousands of years. Naturally, they would not allow other princes to be born first. With their unpredictable means, it would be a piece of cake for them to prevent other princes from being born! Not to mention that I have this judgment, even the Immortal Emperor himself probably knows it well. If you want to make a fuss about this old injustice now, it will not work at all."

What’s past is past.

People who do great things don't care about small details.

To the Immortal Emperor, these are just minor details.

He eventually brought peace to the empire. The Hao Yuan Sect really helped him, and to this day it also helped him stabilize the spiritual practice of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty. What reason did he have to bring up these old scores?

Lin Su slowly raised his eyes and said, "Old scores are naturally not on the mind of the Immortal Emperor with great ambitions and strategies, but what if... what if this Crown Prince is not of the Immortal Emperor's bloodline?"

Ji Qianling's whole body was shaken, extremely surprised...

Lin Su stared into her eyes: "I'm talking about what if! If the blood of this prince is the authentic and complete Hao Yuan bloodline, and has nothing to do with him as the Immortal Emperor, does the Immortal Emperor have any reason to make him the prince?"

"If...if this is really the case!" Ji Qianling licked his lips: "The Immortal Emperor will not be able to relieve his hatred unless he cuts him into pieces, so how can he make him the crown prince?"

"Yes! As long as he is a man, there will be a bottom line in his heart that cannot be crossed. The past can be forgotten, but no one wants to be cuckolded. No matter how long he lives to raise someone else's son and how deep the relationship is, he can never really let someone else's son inherit his own throne."

Ji Qianling took a deep breath and said, "But your assumption is not true! In the royal family, the purity of bloodline is the most important thing. It is rare for an emperor's son to pretend to be one."

"Yes, normally, no one would doubt the authenticity of the emperor's children. It's just that after entering the palace, the concubines can't see normal men except eunuchs, and they probably can't get pregnant with anything except the dragon seed. But who made this saint of Haoyuan Sect feel so proud of her achievements that she left the palace at the critical moment of preparing for pregnancy?"

Ji Qianling said: "You have been repeatedly finalizing the timeline, just to find out whether Concubine Li has had any contact with someone from the Haoyuan Sect."

"Yes!" Lin Su said, "She returned to the sect during the Lantern Festival and made a high-profile plan to get pregnant. She returned to the palace on the 22nd of the first lunar month. On the 23rd of the tenth lunar month, the prince was born. It was said to be the Immortal Emperor's own. This makes sense. A nine-month pregnancy is normal. However, if this imperial concubine had conceived with someone from her sect during those seven days, would it also be normal for her to be pregnant for ten months?"
