Chapter 333 Zhao Gou’s final way out!

Wang Lin felt refreshed and refreshed when he woke up in the morning. He was a little embarrassed when he saw the two talented women, each of them keeping their heads down and not getting up. Wang Lin probably understood that if he didn't leave, the two women would definitely not get up.

Wang Lin quickly ran away.

He left Li Qingzhao's small courtyard and walked around the palace.

I went to Pan Jinlian's house first and was surprised to find that Yan Xijiao had returned to Pan Jinlian's yard.

As a result, Yan Xi shyly told him that because Mrs. Pan was pregnant, she thought it best to return to Mrs. Pan to take care of her.

Wang Lin paused and then came back to his senses.

Yan Xijiao still has some scheming intentions.

Because he left, the study room in the outer court was basically a cold stove.

And without herself as the male protagonist, Yan Xijiao was equivalent to losing her backer in the house. After much deliberation, she took the initiative to return to Pan Jinlian.

Wang Lin thought this was fine.

Wang Lin pestered Pan Jinlian for a while and told her to be careful, and then went to Zhang Zhenniang's place to see his little daughter.

In fact, Zhang Zhenniang's daughter Wang Zhen and Han Yan's son Wang Han were born on the same day, just one hour earlier and one hour later.

It is a great fate that two brothers and sisters were born on the same day.

It was only when he arrived at Zhang Zhenniang's small courtyard that Wang Lin truly realized that his home was really very different from the past.

Originally, small courtyards were separated by low single walls, but now they have been reinforced with high walls.

Moreover, the courtyards are dotted with many Jiangnan landscape stones, and many trees, rockeries, etc. are also planted, giving it a Jiangnan garden style.

In the courtyard, there are many more landscape furnishings.

In short, it has quite a palace style.

Even Zhang Zhenniang, who liked simplicity the most, paved the courtyard with bluestones, planted flowers, plants and trees, separated the doorways with screen walls to hide the eyes, and built a hand-carved cloister with carved beams and paintings.

The original Bohai County Prince's Mansion was, at best, regulated by a wealthy family, but now, it has the flavor of a real prince's mansion.

The key is that there are many more maids in the palace.

Wang Lin knew that this was a servant girl assigned by the palace. He didn't know whether Zhao Ji was a gift or a deliberate attempt to throw away the burden.

There are hundreds of palace maids to support in the palace, which requires a lot of money every day.

Wang Lin couldn't help but feel dizzy when he thought of the food, drink, chewing and huge expenditures in his palace.

However, he also knew that he was now the unattainable King of Qi.

In the minds of foreign ministers like Hua Rong, this was basically a little less regulated than the emperor, so the pomp and circumstance in the mansion was unavoidable.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to pretend he couldn't see anything and let it go.

After all, he didn't like ostentation, but the female relatives in the house, especially Han Yan and Pan Jinlian, were used to such a wealthy life.

If I can't even create this material condition for them, then I feel guilty.

But eunuch... this kind of creature, Wang Lin can't accept it yet.

According to his wishes, the eunuchs from the palace were basically allocated to Zhao Fujin, Wei Ying and Zhao Gou, as well as the princes and daughters of Zhao Ji.

Wang Lin thought about it and decided to go see Wei Ying and Zhao Gou.

It is no longer that time. Hua Rong has set aside a small two-entry courtyard in the lower right corner of the entire Prince Qi's Mansion as a living place for Wei Ying's mother and son.

It is inside Prince Qi's Mansion and is separated by a small door.

This was originally the residence of a merchant in Qingzhou, but was later moved into the palace by Hua Rong.

Hua Rong even considered the psychological feelings of Zhao Gou's mother and son, and hung a large plaque at the entrance of this small two-entry courtyard, named East Palace Villa.

When Wang Lin saw this handwriting, he realized it was Li Qingzhao's handwriting.

He stood quietly on the plaque and took a look, feeling a little strange in his heart.

If this is the East Palace Villa, what is his Prince Qi's Mansion, the inner palace?

When the two young eunuchs saw Wang Lin, they did not dare to neglect him and immediately went to report him.

Zhao Goupi Dian Dian came out to welcome him.

In the hall, Wei Ying stood up to greet her. Wang Lin smiled, then sat down separately with Zhao Gou and his son, and chatted casually.

Because of Zhao Fujin's reminder yesterday and Wang Lin Yunshan's words about dreams, Zhao Gou and his son stayed awake almost all night.

Zhao Fujin undoubtedly hinted that Zhao Gou could keep his wealth by being a puppet with peace of mind.

Zhao Gou looked frightened on the surface, but deep down, how could he really suppress his desire for the throne?

He is the son of an official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and now he is also the prince. He is only one step away from that position.

Fortunately, he knew in his heart that there was a natural chasm just one step away.

Zhao had too many ideas that night.

He even thought about how Prince Zhao Ji Nuoduo was in Qingzhou. If he couldn't please Wang Lin, then his fate could be imagined——

The worst case scenario is that Wang Lin can just change to another heir apparent, since it's all about face anyway.

Zhao Huahua understood this key point and was covered in cold sweat.

As for his mother, she was thinking about what Wang Lin said about her tragic experience after being kidnapped by the golden man.

If she could believe that the Jin people would destroy the Song Dynasty, she certainly couldn't believe it now.

But she also knew that Wang Lin was never a person who spoke freely. He must have had his intentions when he suddenly spoke like this.

So she tossed and turned and couldn't figure out what Wang Lin meant.

The mother and son spent the night separately and were not in good spirits when they woke up in the morning.

Seeing Wang Lin suddenly arriving, Wei Ying decided to go straight to the point and ask Wang Lin about Zhao Gou's future arrangements.

And when Wang Lin came here today, he was obviously well prepared.

From the bottom of his heart, he did not want Zhao Gou and his son to have trouble because of their different aspirations, forcing him to kill him.

Seeing that his mother finally asked what was in his heart, Zhao Gou, although he sat there respectfully, pricked up his ears to listen.

"Lin Lang, I know that you always make plans before taking action...

What plans do you have for Gou'er in the future?

What I mean is that at this point in time, you and I, including Gou'er, are no longer outsiders after all, and it would be more appropriate to talk about some things in the open."

Wei Ying composed herself and finally spoke.

Her face turned slightly red.

Wang Lin was slightly startled. He didn't expect that she would publicly use such an intimate title.

This obviously tells him two things:

First, the relationship between the two can no longer be hidden from Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou may have acquiesced;

Secondly, it was just a way of asking for favor, hoping that Wang Lin would find a better way for Zhao Gou out of consideration for her willingness to serve her.

Zhao Gou lowered his head, feeling no shame or anger, but more nervous.

He knew that his own safety depended on Wang Lin's body.

Regarding my mother's behavior, instead of being angry or ashamed, I felt my mother's good intentions in planning for my son, and I was moved in my heart.

Wang Lin smiled: "What do you think I should do? Or, what should I do to make you mother and son more satisfied?"

Wei Ying was speechless for a moment.

Wang Lin added: "Before I answer your question, I want to ask you a question first.

Suppose I elect Zhao Gou as emperor without hesitation, then in the future, after the world is peaceful, can Zhao Gou tolerate me?"

"Don't use those perfunctory words to deal with me."

Wei Ying's expression changed.

She quietly looked at her son.

In fact, this question is a proposition that does not need to be pondered for too long.

As members of the royal family, they know better than anyone else that no matter who is the emperor, they will not tolerate the existence of a powerful official who has military power and can overthrow the Zhao and Song Dynasties at any time.

Therefore, once Zhao Gou proclaims himself emperor and takes control of the situation, the first person to be killed will be Wang Lin.

And if so, is this the result you want to see?

Seeing Wang Lin staring closely at her, Wei Ying couldn't help but sigh.

She not only wanted her son to be the emperor, but also wanted Wang Lin to live long, but it was impossible to have both.

Zhao Gou suddenly blushed and said: "Master, I can swear that I will never..."

Wang Lin waved his hand: "Don't say these words, so as not to hurt the relationship between you and my teachers and students.
