Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

"Uncle?"

When Lin Jiangnian heard Li Piaomiao call out the uncle, he was obviously stunned.

He turned his head to look at Li Piaomiao and saw that she was looking ahead, with a pair of cold eyes showing some spirit. He looked at Mr. Li in front of him again. Mr. Li looked normal, as if he had expected it and was not too surprised by Li Piaomiao's arrival.

But there seemed to be some sighs in his eyes.

And Lin Jiangnian was in a brief shock!

He looked at the two people in front of him quietly, and some doubts in his heart gradually became clear.

It's right!

Everything is right!

Uncle?

Mr. Li is actually the uncle mentioned by Li Piaomiao?

Then, his identity is self-evident!

This old man who has been hiding in the Ruyi Tower of the Linwang Mansion is the uncle of the emperor of the current dynasty? And the brother of the former emperor? !

This identity was somewhat unexpected for Lin Jiangnian, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable?

As early as a year ago, Lin Jiangnian had suspected the identity of Mr. Li.

Mr. Li, who could live in Ruyi Tower for a long time and was respected by Prince Lin, must have an extraordinary origin. In particular, Mr. Li had many secrets. He was not only knowledgeable and talented, but also knew the martial arts of the world. He was even very clear about the core martial arts of the sword.

This was enough to show that his identity was definitely not simple!

And his surname also made Lin Jiangnian doubt whether he was related to the royal family of the Daning Dynasty.

However, since Mr. Li was unwilling to reveal his identity, there was little information about his identity in the world, and he suddenly had to leave Linjiang City for the capital, so Lin Jiangnian did not delve into Mr. Li's identity.

Until now, when Li Piaomiao suddenly appeared and shouted "Uncle Emperor", Lin Jiangnian's past speculation was verified.

He looked at the two people in front of him. Although he felt it was reasonable, he was still a little dazed and surprised.

The conflict between the Prince Lin's Mansion and the imperial court has been going on for a long time. Although they have not torn their faces apart, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are as hostile as fire and water to a certain extent. But why is there an old friend of the imperial family in the Ruyi Tower of the Prince Lin's Mansion?

What happened in this story?

…

When Li Piaomiao looked at the gray-robed old man in her sight, her calm eyes became more lively.

The senior in front of her, whom she had never seen before, had a familiar aura on him!

It was an aura that was difficult to erase even if he changed his appearance!

It also made Li Piaomiao recognize his identity at a glance!

The rumored news was indeed true.

The emperor's uncle was really here.

However, Mr. Li remained calm when Li Piaomiao appeared. He looked at Li Piaomiao for a few times, picked up the wine pot on the table and poured a glass of wine, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, savoring the taste of the strong liquor carefully.

After putting down the wine bowl, he asked, "How did you know I was here?"

Li Piaomiao said calmly, "During the years when the emperor's uncle disappeared, my father has been looking for his whereabouts. It was not until my father passed away that my brother learned about the whereabouts of the emperor's uncle from the relics left by my father. My father has always guessed that the emperor's uncle has not died in these years and is very likely to stay in the Linwang Mansion..."

"So, you, a girl, came all the way to find me?"

"That's right."

"I'm afraid you're not just looking for me to reminisce about the past, right?" Senior Li chuckled.

Li Piaomiao said, "My brother hopes to take the emperor's uncle back to the palace."

"That's not necessary!"

Old Li shook his head, "I'm an old man living well here, I'm used to it, and I don't go anywhere."

Li Piaomiao was silent and didn't speak again.

I don't know if he didn't think about how to start, or what.

The attic fell into a brief silence.

And Lin Jiangnian also heard some clues from the conversation between the two.

Lin Jiangnian had heard from the people that the deceased emperor did have a prince brother, but he disappeared for some reason, and the matter was left unresolved.

The news was too niche, few people mentioned it, and few people took it to heart.

Now that I think about it, something is indeed wrong.

After all, he is a prince, how could there be no news suddenly?

There must be some little-known secrets.

Lin Jiangnian can also be sure that Li Piaomiao followed him all the way to the Prince Lin's Mansion this time, and the real purpose may not be to find some life-saving elixir.

Her real purpose is probably the uncle in front of her!

No wonder she is always reluctant to reveal her real purpose... There must be something hidden in it.

When he heard Li Piaomiao say that he would welcome Li Lao back to Beijing, Lin Jiangnian's thoughts condensed slightly. He looked at Li Piaomiao and looked at her cold face. Until, Li Piaomiao suddenly turned her head and looked at him.

"I want to talk to the uncle alone."

"Is that okay?"

Seeing that Lin Jiangnian did not answer immediately, she lowered her eyes slightly and added: "I will explain to you later... Okay?"

Lin Jiangnian was not surprised by Li Piaomiao's question. He looked up at the old man Li in front of him, asking for his opinion.

Senior Li nodded slightly, and Lin Jiangnian stood up.

"Okay, you guys talk slowly!"

After that, Lin Jiangnian left the attic. Then, the attic fell into silence.

Senior Li poured another bowl of water and savored the aftertaste of the strong liquor in his mouth. When he looked up, he saw that the man in white was still standing there.

"Come and sit down."

Li Piaomiao approached, hesitated, and finally sat down in the place where Lin Jiangnian had sat before, looking up at the uncle in front of him.

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Lao's eyes, and then he chuckled: "It's just like the rumors, he is blessed to have a daughter like you..."

Li Piaomiao was silent, not knowing what to say.

"The last time I saw you was almost 20 years ago, right?"

Li Lao seemed to remember something and fell into some memories: "When you were just born, I saw you once. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed..."

Li Piaomiao's eyes drooped slightly: "Where has the uncle been in the past 20 years? Why did he hide his name?"

"Why mention the past again?"

Li Lao seemed to think of some unpleasant past events, waved his hand gently, and glanced at her: "Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

Li Piaomiao was silent for a while, and said: "Father once mentioned that you are the most like grandfather. In terms of literary and military strategies, and the ability to govern the country, the uncle is better than father. ”

“The emperor’s uncle is more suitable for that position than my father. If my father was not the eldest son, my grandfather would have said that he wanted to pass the throne to the emperor’s uncle.”

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Li Lao’s face: “Did your father say all these?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s rare that he said a few truths!”

Li Lao chuckled, and a few strange colors flashed in his eyes. He sighed: “It’s worth it to hear him admit that he is not as good as me in my lifetime, even if I can’t hear it in person!”

Li Piaomiao asked after a while: “Uncle, did you have any grievances with my father?”

“It’s not a grievance, it’s all in the past!” Li Lao said.

“Then why did the emperor’s uncle leave without saying goodbye, break up with my father, and hide his identity for nearly 20 years?”

Li Piaomiao’s words made Li Lao, who had originally smiled, gradually disappear.

After a while, he glanced at Li Piaomiao: "What happened back then has long passed. Your father is dead now, so why mention it again?"

At this point, Li Lao realized something and said in a serious tone: "Is your father pretending to be dead?"

The news of the death of the late emperor has long been announced to the world!

But there are many different opinions about the death of the late emperor, and rumors among the people have never stopped. The key is that the death of the late emperor is too bizarre, and there are all kinds of conspiracy theories.

Is it possible to be killed by explosion or fake death?

Li Piaomiao said: "My father has passed away, it's true!"

"Then I'm relieved!"

Li Lao seemed to be relieved and in a better mood.

He glanced at Li Piaomiao again: "You haven't told me yet, what do you want to do with me, an old man?"

Li Piaomiao lowered his eyes: "I am here to welcome my uncle back to Beijing on my brother's orders."

"Why do you want to welcome me back to Beijing?"

Old Li said indifferently: "To make things difficult for you?"

Li Piaomiao was silent for a long time this time, and then he spoke: "Piaomiao doesn't know what grudges the uncle had with my father, nor why the uncle suddenly left without saying goodbye... But Piaomiao knows that the uncle doesn't hate my father!"

After hearing this, Old Li had no expression on his face.

Li Piaomiao continued: "Since my father's death, the court has fallen into chaos, and the various factions in the court have been fighting. The local families of the dynasty have accumulated deep resentment, and the dynasty is in a precarious situation..."

"What's more, the King Xu of Xuzhou in the north is even more covetous, coveting the Daning Dynasty..."

At this point, Li Piaomiao paused, his voice was still cold, but also mixed with some worry.

"My father's last wish was that the dynasty would not perish in his hands, so..."

Li Piaomiao looked at Old Li: "My brother hopes that the uncle will return to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation!"

"Take charge of the overall situation?"

Hearing this, Old Li was obviously stunned.

Very surprised.

He looked at Li Piaomiao, but saw that the girl in front of him had clear eyes and was looking at him calmly.

This caught Old Li off guard.

After a while, he sneered: "What overall situation should an old man like me take charge of?"

"Besides, your brother is not simple either. He can be regarded as a man of great talent and strategy. As long as he doesn't mess around, with his methods, the Daning Dynasty will not perish in his hands!"

When Li Piaomiao heard this, she was silent.

After a while, her voice became slightly lowered and she spoke.

"My brother has been weak since childhood, and he was poisoned by the third prince before. Now his health is getting worse and worse, and it has reached an extremely serious level..."

"My brother, you may not have much time left!"

The voice was very light, but very clear, and mixed with a bit of heavy breath.

When Mr. Li, who had a somewhat relaxed smile on his face, heard this, the smile on his face disappeared and he became solemn.

"Not much time left?"

"So serious?!"

He had heard about Li Ci Ning's poisoning a long time ago, and even knew that the former prince was not in good health, but he never thought that it would be so serious? !

"My brother has no descendants now. If anything happens to my brother in the future... the consequences are unimaginable."

The emperor has no descendants?

What are the consequences?

Very serious!

From ancient times to the present, the first major thing for any emperor to ascend the throne is to establish a crown prince and stabilize the people's hearts.

But now, the current emperor has no descendants, and his health is getting worse and worse, and he is in danger. If one day, the emperor really dies suddenly.

What should we do then?

Who will inherit the throne?

Is it the third prince who has rebelled and been imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum? Or the eighth prince who hasn't grown up yet and has no brains?

Once it happens, there will inevitably be another bloody storm in Beijing. When the time comes, the situation that has finally stabilized now will fall into chaos again.

And will King Xu from the north take advantage of the situation and sneak in?

No one can guarantee it!

The current dynasty can no longer be in chaos!

"so what?"

Mr. Li seemed to realize something, and his voice became slightly hoarse.

"Brother Huang hopes that Uncle Huang can return to Beijing to help him take charge of the overall situation!"

Li Miaomiao's tone remained unchanged. She looked at the gray-robed old man in front of her and her eyes flickered: "The emperor's uncle was the most suitable heir to the throne back then. If something happens to the emperor's brother in the future..."

"I hope that when the time comes, the emperor's uncle can inherit the throne and pass on the Daning Dynasty!"

silence!

There was dead silence in the attic.

Mr. Li's eyes were a little dazed, looking at Li Piaomiao in front of him.

Her tone was so calm, as calm as if she was telling an extremely ordinary thing.

But this matter...isn't it an ordinary thing?

The fight for the throne of the dynasty has been very bloody and cruel since ancient times. How could anyone give it up so casually?

Mr. Li didn't expect it, and he didn't expect that such a day would come. It wasn't until a while later that he finally came back to his senses.

The trance in his eyes gradually became clear, and his voice was low: "Your imperial brother is willing to give up the throne to others like this?"

Li Piaomiao said: "Uncle Huang is the most suitable person."

"Suitable?"

Mr. Li shook his head gently: "You guys overestimate me. I am just a bad old man now. How can I have this ability?"

Li Miaomiao said softly: "The emperor's uncle was already extremely outstanding, otherwise the emperor would not praise him so much. Today, many veterans in the court still remember the emperor's uncle. If the emperor's uncle was in charge, the veterans in the court would never praise him. There are so many opinions!”

"No one is more suitable than the emperor's uncle!"

Li Piaomiao's tone was still calm.

This time when she came to Prince Lin's Mansion, she wanted to find medicine that could cure the emperor's brother from Ruyi Tower. On the other hand, he was ordered by the emperor's brother to meet the emperor's uncle who might be hiding in Ruyi Tower.

Before she came, Li Cunning had told her that she must find a way to find the emperor's uncle and welcome him back to the capital. Once he really dies, the only person in the world who can stabilize the Daning Dynasty is this imperial uncle!

Once Li Cunning passes away, he is the most suitable candidate to succeed and stabilize the dynasty!

But Senior Li's eyes were deep and he shook his head lightly: "A few years earlier, maybe I, an old man, would really be moved, but now..."

"They are all old people at this age, and they are no longer interested in these false reputations!"

Mr. Li declined. He had no intention of competing for the throne.

Li Piaomiao was silent.

I don’t know if I don’t know how to persuade!

At this time, Mr. Li glanced at her again and said, "Even if your royal brother really dies by then, the huge Li family will not be unable to find a suitable successor, right?"

Li Miaomiao said calmly: "The third prince has a cruel personality. He committed a heinous crime by killing his father and is not suitable for that position. Most of his other princes are idiots and cannot be reused..."

Except for the barely able third prince, the remaining princes are basically either incompetent or mediocre. Once the throne falls into their hands, the dynasty will probably perish soon!

But the third prince killed his brother and father, and it was absolutely impossible to give him another chance.

So……

"Isn't there another person?"

Mr. Li suddenly spoke.

"who?"

Li Piaomiao asked.

But he saw Mr. Li's eyes falling on Li Miaomiao, and he looked at her quietly for a few times, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"you!"

"Girl, haven't you ever thought about..."

"Are you going to be the emperor yourself?"
