The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

A battle for the throne is like a thunderstorm on a summer afternoon, which comes violently and goes away quickly, catching people off guard but leaving them with endless aftertaste.

While all the nobles were still immersed in the beautiful dream of "what should be ordered on the menu for Ling Chenyu's coronation ceremony", the protagonist Ling Chenyu suddenly staged a drama of "the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is".

Pulling his confidante Liu Yaoyao along, he slipped into the Bagua formation of the Forbidden City in a flash.

Ling Muxiao was left with a mess of civil and military officials in the court. The scene was even more lively than the express delivery station after Double Eleven.

Ling Muxiao, the former crown prince who originally planned to live a life of idleness and wait for death in his brother's "land of comfort".

The expression on his face at this moment was very colorful, as if he had just eaten Sichuan hotpot and drank iced cola, with a mixture of various emotions.

He opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg, and thought to himself:

"Did I get the wrong script? Shouldn't I be drawing circles and cursing in the corner, and then inherit the throne in tears?"

But reality is always more cruel than dreams and funnier than jokes.

Ling Muxiao took a deep breath and decided to turn his grief and anger into strength.

Since the throne is abolished, he must hold on to the remaining gold, silver, treasures, power and status tightly in his hands.

It's a wonderful journey for him to "sweep mines" (deal with the mess left by Ling Chenyu) and "dig mines" (look for opportunities to make money).

He first convened an emergency cabinet meeting, the theme of the meeting:

“How do we keep the country going without an emperor and appear to be busy?”

The ministers looked at each other, and finally decided unanimously to launch an activity called "National Search for the Missing Emperor".

It not only shows that the court cares about the people, but also allows them to check whether Ling Chenyu is secretly having a love affair in some corner.

Then, Ling Muxiao started playing "Game of Thrones".

This game is not a simple board game, but a contest of power and wisdom that he carefully planned.

He secretly contacted various princes, ostensibly to unite and search for the long-missing Emperor Ling Chenyu, but in fact he was quietly collecting intelligence and weaving an impenetrable network of power.

He first sent a secret letter which read:

“My fellow princes, I (here he deliberately used the title of emperor to show his ambition) have been observing the stars day and night recently and found that Emperor Ling Chenyu seems to be trapped by a mysterious force and urgently needs us to rescue him.

But before that, we must unite as one to overcome this difficult time.”

As soon as this letter came out, various princes responded. After all, who doesn’t want to show their presence in front of the emperor?

However, Ling Muxiao's ambition does not stop there.

He knew very well that in order to win in this game of power, the power of the princes alone was not enough, and he also needed the support of a think tank.

After thinking about it, he specially organized a think tank selection called "Who is the Brainiest?"

The contestants are required not only to come up with an idea of ​​how to find the emperor, but also to come up with a plan B on how to quietly take back the throne after finding the emperor.

On the day of the selection, talented men and beautiful women from all walks of life gathered together, and the scene was very lively.

Ling Muxiao sat on the tall dragon throne (actually it was an ordinary imperial chair, but he insisted on adding a dragon throne filter to himself), looking at the contestants below the stage with a serious face.

“Everyone, we are gathered here today to select the smartest minds to help us plan for our great cause of finding the emperor.

But I want to remind you that this is not a simple game, but a matter of fate for all of us."

He deliberately spoke in a mysterious way, making the contestants in the audience nervous.

He announced the rules of the contest:

“Each of you has ten minutes to explain your plan A and plan B to find the emperor.

Remember, I want creativity and practicality, not empty slogans.”

The first person to come on stage was a young man who looked like a scholar.

He cleared his throat and began to outline his plan:

"First, we need to send a crack team to sneak into the palace and look for the emperor. Once we find him, we will..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ling Muxiao.

"Wait, your plan is too old-fashioned. It's like reading a script that has already been spoiled. There's nothing new about it."

Ling Muxiao said with a look of disgust.

The next few contestants were either too risky in their plans or too naive in their ideas, and were all rejected by Ling Muxiao one by one.

Just when everyone thought the game was going to reach a stalemate, an old man in tattered clothes walked up.

"I have a plan that will ensure that the emperor will come to me."

The old man smiled mysteriously and began his explanation.

"First, we have to spread the word that the Emperor's favorite girl, her beloved ancient zither 'Longyin', is in our hands.

Once the emperor hears this, he will surely come to look for her. Then, we can..."

The old man was interrupted by applause from the audience before he could finish his words.

"Great! What a great plan to lure the snake out of its hole!"

Ling Muxiao clapped his hands in admiration, a cunning gleam in his eyes.

In this way, the old man was successfully selected into the think tank, and Ling Muxiao's network of power was quietly woven in this selection.

He laughed secretly in his heart: "Humph, Ling Chenyu, just wait and see, the final winner of this game of power must be me!"

During this process, Ling Muxiao did not forget to add some drama to himself, and from time to time he performed the role of "Melancholy Prince" in the court.

At one point, he even recited to the air with deep emotion:

"Ah, my departed brother, are you looking at the same starry sky as I am, missing this magnificent palace?"

As a result, all the ministers thought that he was going to become a monk, and they wrote to persuade him:

"Your Majesty, you should think more about how to govern the country. As for becoming a monk, there are not enough temples in our country!"

In this way, Ling Muxiao went further and further on the road where melancholy and wit coexisted.

Not only did he successfully stabilize the situation, but he also unexpectedly gained a large number of fans.

Even the vegetable vendors on the street praised him: "This prince is really approachable and reliable!"

Since the old man was selected into the think tank, Ling Muxiao has further improved and refined his plan.

Not only did he want to lure Ling Chenyu out, he also wanted him to sit on the jade seal that symbolized imperial power in front of everyone, so that he could legitimately take back the throne.

"But how can we make Ling Chenyu willingly sit on the throne?"

Ling Muxiao frowned and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the old man smiled, leaned close to Ling Muxiao's ear, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, don't forget that the Emperor is a passionate man.

If he knew that Liu Yaoyao's beloved thing was in our hands, wouldn't he be obedient? "

Ling Muxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if they were the brightest stars in the night sky. He slapped his thigh and smiled triumphantly.

"This is a great idea! Liu Yaoyao is simply the king bomb in our hands. She fried Ling Chenyu so hard that he had to say thank you!"

A beauty trap called "A charming smile and lingering piano music" quietly kicked off under the imagination of this "think tank".

They spread a rumor that "the love is as deep as the sea and the piano is the matchmaker".

According to the rumor, Liu Yaoyao became ill due to her longing for Ling Chenyu. She could not sleep at night and had no appetite. Finally, she decided to make a guqin named "Dragon Song" by herself.

It is said that this zither can attract the phoenix. When the zither sounds, everything becomes quiet, just waiting for the person who can understand the hidden meaning in her heart.

Then they sent out an envoy with "good acting skills".

The envoy's facial expressions were rich enough to act out a TV series. He sneaked up on Ling Chenyu and said mysteriously:

"Oh, Emperor, do you know? Liu Yaoyao loves you deeply. For you, she has lost her appetite and even made the Longyin Qin! But there is a rule for this Qin. It can only be played in the palace and can only be heard with true heart. What do you think..."

Ling Chenyu's heart was in turmoil, as if a hundred thousand horses were galloping through him. He was moved and anxious, thinking:

"This Yaoyao, it's really a love-hate relationship. For her, I, Ling Chenyu, will go through fire and water and return to the palace! When I get the Dragon Yin and give it to Yaoyao, she will definitely be very happy."

So, without saying a word, he packed his bag, rode his horse, whipped the whip, and headed straight for the palace, looking dusty all the way. He looked three times more anxious than the boy chasing the wind.

On the other side, Ling Muxiao, Liu Jingshu and others were hiding in the dark, eating watermelons while watching Ling Chenyu's eagerness to go home, laughing.

Liu Jingshu even covered her mouth and laughed secretly, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.

"Humph, this Longyinqin is actually still sleeping with the carpenter. It's really funny to see how anxious he is!"

This "beauty trap" not only made Ling Chenyu anxious like an ant on a hot pan, but also filled the entire palace with laughter.

Even the sparrows outside the palace walls seemed to sense the joy and chirped as if asking:

"Hey, what are you laughing at? Take me with you!"

As for what happened next, after Ling Chenyu returned to the palace, he was naturally "fooled" first, and almost thought that Long Yin was about to become his possession.

But he found that he didn't see the shadow of Longyinqin, but was dragged to participate in one "palace fighting skit" after another, which made him so tired that he cried out:

"This palace is full of tricks!"

As for Liu Yaoyao, she was in the Ten Thousand Mountains, anxiously waiting for Ling Chenyu's return.
