Chapter 207 How dare common people deceive the emperor?
Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard this:
"How did you know that I was going to hand over my salt-making skills?"
She felt more and more that there was something wrong with this coachman.
Seeing Lin Xiao's vigilant look, the driver sighed slightly and slowly said:
"Young master just now was mumbling to himself before he got in the car, saying something like handing over the salt-making skills, so I just asked."
"I muttered to myself?"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment and didn't quite believe it.
"yes."
The driver nodded.
Seeing the sincere expression on the driver's face, it didn't look like he was faking it, and Lin Xiao relaxed a lot.
Maybe she really thought too much.
But she didn't delve into it any further, turned around and knocked on the door of Li Yujun's mansion.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Lin Xiao came to Li Yujun's study.
At this moment, Li Yujun is practicing calligraphy on his desk.
Seeing Lin Xiao coming, he was slightly surprised:
"It's so late, and boy Lin is still here? Is there something urgent you want to see me for?"
"Please, Prince Jian, make the decision for me!"
Lin Xiao fell to her knees with a plop, her face full of anger and sadness.
Li Yujun raised his eyebrows:
"Oh? What happened to make you so excited?"
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and told Li Yujuan the whole story.
After listening, Li Yujun fell into silence.
He didn't speak, and Lin Xiao became even more worried:
"Please help me introduce this boy to the emperor!"
Li Yujun raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xiao: "Do you want to file a complaint?"
Lin Xiao shook his head:
"Young man wants to give the emperor the art of making salt!"
Li Yujun touched his nose and smiled:
"Have you thought about it?"
"Think about it!"
Lin Xiao gave a decisive answer, his eyes full of determination and determination.
"Okay, now that you have decided, you can stay here today! Early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to take you to the palace. Don't regret it then!"
"Young man will never regret it!"
"Hahaha……"
Li Yujuan smiled heartily, stood up and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder:
"Okay! I want to ask you something."
"What's up?"
"I heard that Prime Minister Wang recently found his daughter who was living abroad. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Lin Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and secretly screamed something bad in his heart, but his expression was extremely calm:
"You don't understand what the prince means?"
"The wedding is about to come, and the prime minister suddenly found his daughter who has been missing for many years. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
Li Yujun stared straight at Lin Xiao, as if he wanted to read something from her expression.
Lin Xiao smiled calmly and said:
"Does the prince think that it was the boy's idea for the Prime Minister to find his daughter?"
"Haha, you know best whether it was your idea!"
Li Yujun said as he walked out of the study.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Lin Xiao, and said seriously:
"I told you not to care about this matter, but you refused to listen. Alas! I advise you not to dig your own grave!"
After finishing speaking, Li Yujun strode away without staying for more than half a second.
Lin Xiao looked at the retreating figure, with a cold and complicated light shining in his eyes.
She didn't expect that Li Yujun already knew the truth.
It seems that she really underestimated the prince's power and skills.
The next day, at dawn, Li Yuqian sent someone to take Lin Xiao to the palace, and then left in a hurry.
Lin Xiao sat in the carriage, lifted the curtains and looked outside.
She couldn't help but sigh that the palace was really luxurious. Just looking at the scene outside, she knew that it must be magnificent and magnificent inside.
The carriage drove for about half an hour and finally arrived at the imperial study room where Li Yuquan was.
Lin Xiao got off the carriage with the help of the palace maid.
Only then did Lin Xiao notice that the road to the palace was covered with red carpets, one after another, stretching for more than ten meters.
At the end of the red carpet is the splendid Imperial Study Room, shining in the sun.
Lin Xiao walked in with elegant steps, but as soon as she stepped across the threshold, she felt a majestic aura rushing towards her.
She couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously shrank her neck.
She knew that Li Yuquan was waiting for her arrival inside.
Lin Xiao felt a little uneasy, but she still calmed down and walked towards the imperial study room.
As soon as she stepped across the threshold, a middle-aged man wearing a purple dragon robe walked up to her and looked her up and down.
The man was about thirty years old, with a thick beard that highlighted his angular features. His eyes were very sharp, and he seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
Lin Xiao felt uncomfortable looking at him and felt a little scared.
But she quickly calmed down and bent her knees slightly:
"The common people see your majesty and wish your majesty good health!"
Li Yuquan looked at her for a long time, finally withdrew his gaze and said:
"No gifts!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lin Xiao raised her eyes and saw that Li Yuquan had sat back on the dragon chair, staring at her with bright eyes, as if testing her courage.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
"Are you the Lin Xiao that Prince Qian said?"
Li Yuquan spoke in a deep voice, with a bit of fierceness in his voice.
"If you go back to the emperor, you are just a common man."
Li Yuquan narrowed his eyes slightly and examined Lin Xiao for a moment:
"It is said that you can not only make salt but also write poetry?"
"true."
Lin Xiao nodded with a calm look on his face.
Anyway, the reason why I came here today is to hand over the salt-making skills to Li Yuquan, so there is no need to hide it deliberately.
Her answer made Li Yuquan's eyes light up, and then he frowned:
"Let me ask you, how did you learn the art of making salt?"
Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the art of making salt has been a secret technique kept secret by the royal family. Only the royal family who specializes in making salt far away from the sea and the emperor who ascended the throne will know about it.
But now, Lin Xiao, a small ordinary man with a flat head, can actually learn the art of making salt!
Doubts abounded in his mind. Could it be that Lin Xiao was an immortal descended from heaven?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he suppressed it severely.
He cannot allow anyone to threaten his status, even if that person is really a god!
"Reporting to your Majesty, this matter is mysterious. One day, when the common people were taking a nap, they dreamed of an old man with a white beard. In his dream, he taught the common people how to make salt."
"Are you sure this is a dream?"
Li Yuquan frowned, obviously doubting Lin Xiao's words.
Although he believes that there are gods in the sky, it does not mean that he believes that pie will fall from the sky.
"How dare common people deceive the emperor? I really only dreamed about this!"
Lin Xiao quickly defended.
She didn't want to offend the young king and lead to her own death.
"Did you really dream about it?"
"Absolutely true!"
Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, but secretly became more vigilant in his heart.
"In that case, let me ask you again, who is that old man? What did he tell you when he taught you the art of making salt?"
