"...In this way, His Royal Highness King Xi is established as the crown prince, and the coronation ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow."

Lin Suwan drank the decoction and sat half-sitting on the bed, listening to Shen Qin recounting what she saw and heard in Huaguang Temple today.

After hearing the last part, Lin Suwan, who had not smiled for a long time, actually burst into laughter.

Her face was rosier, and her one eye seemed to be shining brightly. Even though her face was severely damaged, her smile was still gentle and soft.

Her beauty is a temperament developed from learning piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance, music, and etiquette since she was a child. She is beautiful to the core, and is not too affected by her injuries.

Soon, she pulled at the wound on her face, frowned slightly in pain, and subconsciously touched her face with her fingers.

Shen Qin reached out to stop her.

"Don't touch it, it will leave scars easily."

When Shen Qin held her finger, Lin Suwan took it back like an electric shock, with two blushes on her face.

Even though many years have passed and things have changed, she still feels like a deer when facing the "reborn" brother Han.

Xiaoqing couldn't help but interject.

"In ancient times, there were civet cats choosing princes, but now there are civet cats choosing princes. It's a shame this Imperial Master thought of it."

It turned out that just now in Huaguangguan, the imperial master told Emperor Kang that he had a technique to communicate with gods, and Emperor Kang was right.

Afterwards, the Imperial Master asked the ministers to leave an open space and held an altar ceremony on the spot.

Suddenly, golden light shone in the hall and smoke filled the air. The ministers seemed to come alive when they saw the statues of gods with their own eyes. They could even see the Jade Emperor stroking his beard, Erlang God's third eye opening, and Lei Zhenzi swinging his wings...

The ministers were horrified, and they all knelt down and worshiped the gods in fear.

Afterwards, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the statue returned to normal. A raccoon cat with gold dots on its forehead and a snow-white body appeared on the altar.

The imperial master said that he invited the civet cat to come down to earth and give advice to Emperor Kang.

Then, the Imperial Master asked Emperor Kang to personally hand over two peacock feathers to the two princes, and asked the two princes to hold the long feathers to attract the civet, saying that whichever way the civet goes, the chosen one will be. As a result, the civet smelled it. Wen Na Changyu finally walked towards King Xi.

Emperor Kang immediately announced that King Xi was the heir to the throne chosen by the gods. Then, after another burst of smoke, the civet disappeared. The imperial master said that he had returned to heaven.

When the ministers saw this scene, they did not dare to question it. They all praised the gods for appearing, and Emperor Kang was a saint. Dakang has gods protecting the world, so there is no need to worry about not being prosperous...

As a result, the crown prince of Dakang was chosen by the "god" in this weird way, and King Xi had no reason to refuse.

"Keep your voice down, walls have ears."

Although Li Wei seemed to have disappeared and had never asked Lin Suwan anything recently, Shen Qin still gave Xiao Qing a cautious look.

Lin Suwan lowered her voice and said.

"It sounds like a fairy tale to me. Have you really seen the gods?"

Shen Qin said while changing the dressing for Lin Suwan's eye injury.

"It's just a trick. I can't rule out that there are hallucinogenic ingredients in the smoke. That cat should be just an ordinary house cat. I suspect that one of the two peacocks' feathers was stained with catnip powder (nepeta), so I really made the decision. It’s still the Emperor.”

Since Cangmen's secret technique can make people see "ghosts", perhaps the imperial master improved the ecstasy technique, causing the officials in the palace to fall into an illusion and mistakenly think they were seeing gods.

Shen Qin was the first to wake up. At that time, he only saw a choking smoke in the hall, the golden light reflected from the high-hanging bronze mirror, and the ministers kneeling on the ground, shouting "God appears" to the statue. That scene It's absolutely ridiculous.

Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said.

"It seems that the emperor wants to use this to silence everyone, but since he has already made a decision, why do he still ask the ministers for their opinions?"

Shen Qin said,

"Because this is how we can judge whether King Xi has formed a clique for personal gain. I think that after the incident in Tangzhou, the emperor had concerns about His Highness King Xi, so when he found that very few people supported King Xi, he was relieved."

Xiao Qing guessed that Li Yunxi must have greeted Mu Ci and others beforehand, so she praised them.

"His Royal Highness King Xi is really good at predicting things. However, it can be seen that the emperor still prefers His Highness King Xi."

Shen Qin shook his head slightly and replied calmly.

"It's just a matter of weighing the pros and cons. Nowadays, the Dark Snake organization is rampant, the pimple plague is spreading everywhere, and the people are panicked and prone to riots. The purpose of appointing King Xi, who is effective in fighting disasters, as the crown prince is to stabilize the people's hearts."

Lin Suwan smiled.

"That's also a good thing."

She leaned close to Shen Qin's ear and whispered.

"If His Royal Highness King Xi ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely clear up the grievances of Brother Han and his family."

"But, you..."

Shen Qin had mixed feelings, and he felt guilty for involving Lin Suwan.

"Don't think too much. Suwan doesn't care. As long as you can achieve what you want, Suwan will be satisfied."

Then, Lin Suwan reached out her hand, smoothed Shen Qin's slightly frowned brow, and evoked a pleasant smile.

Shen Qin's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Lin Suwan with emotion, and then smiled slightly, as warm as Anyang.

The way the two of them were rubbing each other's ears made Xiao Qing start to misunderstand. She felt that it was inappropriate to stay here. When she was about to open the door and slip away, she bumped into Liu Qingyan who was guarding the door.

"Look at the two of them, they can't really..."

Xiao Qing glanced at the two people in the room and whispered to Liu Qingyan with an anxious look on her face.

Shen Qin had sharp ears and interrupted.

"What are you mumbling about?"

Xiao Qing and Liu Qingyan said in unison.

"No no!"

Shen Qin said.

"Qing Yan, come in and talk to Miss Lin."

Shen Qin believed that if King Xi ascended the throne in the future, he would definitely try to get Lin Suwan to leave Li Wei. He knew that Liu Qingyan had liked Lin Suwan for many years, so he wanted to bring them together, hoping that after he "left", someone would still take care of Lin Suwan.

"S-shall I come in?"

Liu Qingyan pointed at herself and stuttered. A swordsman who was usually quite agile was actually lingering at the door.

Shen Qin was anxious, walked up to him, and forced him into the room. She never thought that this guy would just stand in the room with his eyes lowered, not daring to look at Lin Suwan. It was embarrassing.

In Lin Suwan's impression, she was not very familiar with Liu Qingyan and had not even spoken to him a few times. However, she was still amused by his naive appearance and smiled slightly.

"Is this palace scary now?"

"No, not scary."

Liu Qingyan felt that this sentence was not pleasant, so she hurriedly added.

"Even if your face is hurt, the empress still looks good."

Then, Liu Qingyan was speechless again, and Shen Qin was helpless. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he said to Xiao Qing.

"Xiao Qing, you stay and take care of Mrs. Lin. Qing Yan, you come back with me."

Just when Shen Qin stood up and was about to leave, Lin Suwan reluctantly grabbed his sleeve.

Shen Qin reached out and touched her head, comforting her.

"It's okay, it's not goodbye forever, I will come to see you again."

"But, I'm really afraid..."

Lin Suwan's eyes were filled with tears and worry.

Shen Qin knew what she was afraid of, so she comforted her softly.

"It's in the past and it won't happen again."

When she said this, Shen Qin felt a little sour in her heart.

This is a white lie.

Maybe you really shouldn't recognize her, it will only cause her a second harm.

Lin Suwan's expression calmed down a little and she relaxed her hand.

Just when Shen Qin was about to step out of the threshold, Liu Qingyan suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Suwan's bed and cupped her hands.

"Please take good care of yourself, Miss Lin. I hope..."

He felt that what he said was a bit abrupt, his ears suddenly turned red, and he changed his words.

"Everyone hopes Mrs. Lin will recover soon."

Lin Suwan responded gently.

"Ah."
