Chapter 209 He is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!
Chapter 209 He is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth!
After Li Yuquan found out about Li Yuquan leaving Lin Xiao in the palace, Li Yujuan felt bad and quickly called Bai Zhancheng and Yu Xilin to the mansion to discuss countermeasures.
"Okay, why are you going to the palace for Lin Xiao?"
Bai Zhancheng looked at Li Yujun in confusion.
She had already thought of a way to get the best of both worlds regarding the marriage, and she didn't need to worry about it. Bai Zhancheng couldn't think of any other reason for Lin Xiao to enter the palace to meet the saint.
"He said he wanted to dedicate his salt-making skills to the emperor."
Li Yujun sighed, with complicated eyes.
"He is trying to put a sheep in the tiger's mouth!"
Bai Zhancheng's face darkened.
Lin Xiao handed over the salt-making technology to the royal family. Can they still use salt sales to earn military pay in the future?
Yu Xilin was also confused after hearing this:
"A few days ago, wasn't he still unwilling to hand over the salt-making technique? Why has he changed his mind now?"
"I estimate that this is probably to take revenge on Li Yuxuan!"
Li Yujun pondered for a long time and finally found a suitable reason.
"Of course Li Yuxuan deserves to die, I have also asked Prince Chang to investigate secretly. I will only get rid of him when the time is right! Lin Xiao is too impatient!"
Bai Zhancheng resented that iron could not make steel.
If Li Yuyan knew about this, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot!
"Now how to do?"
Yu Xilin asked anxiously.
He is not worried about Lin Xiao's life, but he is worried that her talent will be noticed by Li Yuquan and he will use it for his own use. By then, it may be difficult to even meet her!
What if Li Yuquan had other thoughts about Lin Xiao, wouldn't Lin Xiao just...
Thinking of this, Yu Xilin pinched herself hard, she couldn't stop thinking so randomly, she had to seize the time to think of something!
Li Yujun pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:
"Xilin, is there a sister in your clan who is a noble in the palace?"
"Yes, my cousin got promoted a few days ago and is now a concubine."
Yu Xilin responded quickly.
"This is easy to handle!"
Li Yujun laughed:
"As long as Concubine De is willing to help me, I think that Mr. Lin will be able to escape this disaster!"
"Well, I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to ask my cousin for help!"
After Bai Zhancheng and Yu Xilin left, Lin Xiao's driver stepped out from behind the screen in Li Yujun's study.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry.
"You don't have to worry too much. You heard it just now. As long as Concubine De helps you secretly, Mr. Lin will definitely get through this disaster safely!"
Li Yujun patted the coachman on the shoulder and said seriously.
When the coachman heard this, his face showed relief, but he was still worried:
"But with your Majesty's character, will you listen to Concubine De?"
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Li Yujuan smiled lightly and said:
"Besides, you have always doubted whether His Majesty's mediocrity is true or false. Isn't now a good opportunity to test it?"
The driver was stunned for a moment, and the worry appeared on his face again:
"I really want to know whether your Majesty is really stupid, but if you hurt A Xiao because of this, I will never accept it!"
"Don't worry, I always think twice before doing anything. Besides, Mr. Lin is an indispensable talent. I would not be willing to sacrifice him!"
Li Yujun said with a determined tone.
The coachman nodded, but still hesitated a little and said:
"Will Concubine De really agree to secretly help A Xiao?"
"Although Yu Xilin is not a legitimate son of the Yu family, he has a good personality. Before Concubine De entered the palace, the two had a good relationship. She should not refuse to help with this favor."
With Li Yujun's words, the coachman finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face softened a lot.
"Li Yuxuan's place"
Li Yujun interrupted him:
"Let that fool Li Yuchang, who thinks he is extremely smart, deal with it!"
Outside the palace, everyone was anxious because Lin Xiao would stay in the palace for a while and tried their best to find countermeasures.
In the palace, the heartless Lin Xiao rolled over excitedly on the huge palace bed.
A palace bed is a palace bed, as comfortable as a modern high-end Simmons!
Sure enough, the emperor will enjoy it!
The maids couldn't help but laugh when they saw Lin Xiao rolling around, but since Lin Xiao was a distinguished guest invited by the emperor, they only dared to stand aside and take a sneak peek.
Lin Xiao had a great time playing on the bed and put on her shoes with satisfaction.
"Master Lin, where are you going?"
A palace maid asked timidly.
Lin Xiao raised his head, grinned at her, and said:
"Of course I'm going to the Imperial Garden! I heard that the Imperial Garden is very beautiful and full of exotic flowers and plants. Is this true?"
"Yes, the flowers and plants planted in the Royal Garden are all rare and exotic herbs brought from far away places. They are all extremely rare things!"
The palace maid replied respectfully.
"Oh, that's great! Take me to see it!"
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.
"yes!"
The palace maid took the order and left, leading Lin Xiao around and around, and finally arrived at the imperial garden.
Just when Lin Xiao was lamenting that it was not easy to visit the Imperial Garden, she saw a bluestone road in the Imperial Garden that led directly to the palace where she just lived.
"Isn't this bluestone road directly leading to where I lived just now? Why do you have to take me around so many twists and turns?"
Facing Lin Xiao's question, the palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down in front of Lin Xiao:
"My servant dare not hide it from Mr. Lin. This road leads to the harem. Except for the harem empress and princess, no foreign male can enter!"
"Oh~ So that's it."
Lin Xiao nodded as if suddenly enlightened.
The palace maid then felt a little relieved and lowered her head without daring to speak again.
"Get up, don't kneel down all the time, I'm sorry, I'm just a little confused, just asking."
Lin Xiao helped the palace maid up and asked casually: "By the way, what's your name?"
Lin Xiao helped the palace maid up.
"Slave Xiao Cui."
"Okay, Xiaocui, my daily life will depend entirely on you from now on, so please bear with me!"
"I don't dare. Taking care of the young master is what I should do!"
Xiao Cui lowered her eyebrows and said with pleasure.
This girl is quite humble.
Suddenly, a gust of breeze blows, and the faint fragrance of flowers is so refreshing.
Lin Xiao looked up and saw hundreds of flowers in the imperial garden, colorful and prosperous.
"Wow, what kind of flowers are these? They look so beautiful! They smell delicious!"
Lin Xiao admired sincerely.
The flowers here are really beautiful and fragrant. Even wild flowers have a unique taste.
Unlike in modern times, for some unknown reason, except for some specific varieties, the flowers sold in flower shops have no floral fragrance at all!
"Reporting to my lord, all the flowers in the imperial garden are carefully selected by the emperor for the imperial concubine. Each flower is a treasure worth thousands of gold."
Xiaocui lowered her eyes and answered.
"Oh, that's it~~~"
I didn’t expect that the old emperor was quite romantic!
