The imperial city is under martial law, but experienced common people know that things are not simple. Thinking of Gu Bin's accidental death in Pink Dream some time ago, and the rumors that he was at odds with two princes, this makes people even more imaginative.
Therefore, there is no need for the emperor to issue a curfew. When night comes, everyone immediately closes the door and says nothing. Everyone just hopes that they will not get into trouble, just like Amitabha.
The number of defenders in the imperial city increased significantly, and even the Imperial Guards in the palace were mobilized. They seemed to be becoming more strict, but Lin Qian in the palace sneered again and again, "It seems to be more strict, but in fact
But he mobilized the imperial guards in the palace to assist in the defense, and his own strength did not increase at all. This kind of trick... Huh, Gu Longtian, you can hide it from anyone but you can't hide it from me, Lin Qian. It seems that you are very confident.
, in this case I will let you know what a backyard fire is."
At this time, an old man in his seventies was sitting next to Lin Qian with a proud look on his face. He was dressed in a python robe that was extremely gorgeous, which was completely inconsistent with his age. "Mr. He, I hope I can leave this matter to you." Lin Qian.
A very proud person, but at this time he looked extremely respectful. It was obvious that the old man in front of him had an extremely noble and low position.
"Since I promised you, I will naturally go all out, but whether the people who worship the temple will compromise because of such conditions is beyond my control." Mr. He said lightly. The old man spoke calmly and his eyes were arrogant.
There is no sense of immortality, but rather a feeling that everyone should respect him and not disobey him.
"Mr. He, you can rest assured. This kid has started negotiating on this matter very early and has already penetrated into it. As long as Mr. He is here, this matter will definitely be a sure thing." Lin Qian said a good word without hesitation.
Mr. He nodded with satisfaction, looking quite satisfied and quite useful.
"If you succeed, don't forget my conditions. Otherwise, with my background, you will know the consequences." Mr. He stood up and was about to leave, but turned around and said.
"That's natural. I will have to rely on Mr. He for many things in the future." Lin Qian was respectful and didn't object at all. He was like a diligent and filial student facing a respected old master who couldn't fault him at all.
Mr. He smiled with satisfaction, "It's good if you know. I'll go down and rest first."
After Mr. He left, Lin Qian's expression turned gloomy, flashing an imperceptible cold light, and then his expression softened slightly: "As long as I can succeed this time, I can take everything I want in one fell swoop! I have to thank you
You ancient king, you have a good idiot son." At this point, Lin Qian's eyes were quite proud.
He had been preparing for this day for too long. At this moment in the Yangxin Palace, Yang Xiaobai was in front of Gu Longtian, "Your Majesty, this is really strange. It is obvious that someone was behind it to provoke the ancient king to rebel. This person
I should know everything about you and King Gu very well. No matter how confused the second prince Gu Kang is, he will never accidentally kill anyone."
"Why don't I know this? Who is controlling everything behind the scenes? I still need time to find out, but the ancient king is determined to rebel this time, so I can't tolerate the traitor." Gu Longtian's tone was very cold, they
Their brotherly love has long since been completely wiped out by the imperial power and Wan'er.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaobai understood in his heart that although the ancient king's rebellion made the emperor sad, the emperor has now figured it out. He just wants to take the opportunity to get rid of the ancient king. Usually the ancient king's palace is too deep, and he does not go to the government and lives in seclusion.
He couldn't grasp the whip at all, and now that Gu Bin died, Gu Wang lost his mind and just seized this golden opportunity.
Yang Xiaobai retreated, but in his heart he wanted to find out the mastermind behind it. If he didn't pull out the poisonous thorn, there would be endless problems in the future.
Yang Xiaobai already had a candidate for suspicion in his mind, but he was suffering from the lack of evidence. Every time he tested Lin Qian, he was watertight. This made Yang Xiaobai secretly frightened and worried. He knew that if Lin Qian was an enemy, he must be his strong enemy.
In addition, Lin Qian came to the palace before him, and his background was much stronger than his own. It was difficult for Yang Xiaobai to fight against Lin Qian at this moment. "Maybe I need someone to cooperate with me." Yang Xiaobai's eyes flashed with thought.
Zhang Tao used Shuang Yu and Gu Weiran to send messages to each other at this time. Recently, the eldest prince and the second prince were also actively preparing. Needless to say, they knew that they could not let the ancient king succeed under any circumstances.
The second prince Gu Kang was frightened at first, but he soon calmed down and began to use the power he had to prepare for an attack. As long as there was trouble with King Gu, he would not show mercy.
The same is true for the eldest prince, and the content of the connection between Gu Weiran and Zhang Tao naturally cannot allow the ancient king to succeed. However, it seems that the emperor himself has his own plan on how to do it, and the relationship Gu Weiran used cannot get a satisfactory answer at all.
Zhang Tao seems to be a good choice. Although Zhang Tao and Lin Qian are good brothers who have been together since childhood, Zhang Tao is very close to Gu Weiran. It seems to be a very subtle relationship. However, Yang Xiaobai also knows that he can't stand alone now.
Only by finding a powerful helper can you accomplish anything.
"Master Yang!" Just as Yang Xiaobai was walking towards the East Palace, a Chang Ying came over on the way, with a respectful look on his face. Although Yang Xiaobai didn't enter the palace very often, he was very famous, and he was in the center of Yang Xiaobai's excellent wisdom.
In addition, Yang Xiaobai's habit of cleanliness is definitely known to everyone in the palace. It even became a topic of discussion among the palace people after dinner for a period of time. "What's the matter?" Yang Xiaobai was stunned. This Chang Ying was not from the emperor's side.
Yes, then who will come to find me?
"Master Lin said that we have something important to discuss, and I hope Master Yang can come and discuss it." Chang Ying said respectfully.
Yang Xiaobai was stunned. Of course he knew who this so-called Master Lin was, but he didn't know why Lin Qian came to him.
In fact, although Yang Xiaobai and Lin Qian were both advisers to the emperor, their relationship was not harmonious. On the contrary, the two often tested each other, and they also made insinuations in their words and deeds, criticizing each other.
But after the fight, the two people have always been neck and neck. This also gave Yang Xiaobai a headache, but he was also quite happy to find someone to play against. However, at this critical moment, Lin Qian came to find him.
Yang Xiaobai couldn't figure out the reason.
"What do you, Mr. Lin, want from me?" With Lin Qian's ability and his many powerful connections in the palace, Yang Xiaobai was not surprised at all. Summoning the palace lady Chang Ying was originally a trivial matter.
"I don't know, I just told you that Master Yang went there," Chang Ying said.
Yang Xiaobai nodded. No matter what the other party's purpose was, he had to go to know it. "Just let me see what you are doing."
In the palace, the more you know, the faster you die. But anyone who wants to live well will choose to close his ears and eyes very wisely. This is what Chang Ying does. He is only responsible for telling the story, and he will do the rest.
I didn't dare to ask at all.
Soon, Yang Xiaobai arrived at the separation point in the forbidden palace! This is the place between the harem and the cold palace. It is almost an open area. Of course, there will be guards guarding it. After all, the cold palace cannot be disturbed by a crazy woman.
The harem was peaceful, but there were no guards today. Yang Xiaobai knew that Lin Qian was probably going to say something secret.
"Mr. Lin, why are you looking for Xiaobai? Why did you choose such a delicate place?" Yang Xiaobai walked over with a smile on his face, but there was a trace of doubt deep in his eyes.
Lin Qian carried Yang Xiaobai and did not turn around. Although it was rude, Yang Xiaobai did not care about such a trivial matter. "This matter about the ancient king has become so troublesome that it cannot be kept secret. Mr. Yang has been really thinking about this matter recently and is exhausted. Your Majesty."
He is truly blessed to be such a loyal minister."
He? Although this word was mentioned in one sentence, it made Yang Xiaobai raise his eyebrows. Addressing him as emperor was a treasonous thing. How could Lin Qian, a perfect person, reveal such a flaw in front of him?
"Inspiring to kill?" Yang Xiaobai thought about a possibility, but it was quickly rejected. Even if Lin Qian was the mastermind behind it, he would not be able to do such a stupid thing.
After all, he had made preparations before he came. If he really died, Lin Qian would definitely not be able to escape suspicion. Even Lin Qian's eloquent tongue might not be able to clear him away, right?
Since it was not to kill him, why did he feel a faint uneasiness in his heart? The surrounding environment was terrifyingly quiet. Yang Xiaobai seemed to feel that crises were approaching him.
"Master Yang, you seem a little uneasy?" Lin Qian turned around and said with a smile.
Yang Xiaobai frowned. He was sure that Lin Qian was uneasy and well-intentioned, but he really couldn't imagine what would happen to Lin Qian? Is it a formal declaration of war? Or would he become his subordinate? If Lin Qian was really like this, then he really thought too highly of him.
.
"Master Lin, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Why beat around the bush? This is not in line with your style, Master Lin. Is it possible that Master Lin is a little panicked because of the ancient king?" Yang Xiaobai suddenly smiled and said.
"Oh? Why am I uneasy?" Lin Qian asked with a smile.
"Because you are afraid that the emperor will find out who the culprit is." Yang Xiaobai said lightly.
Lin Qian took a deep breath, "You are indeed a talented Yang Xiaobai. Your intelligence is extraordinary. It is something that ordinary people cannot detect and cannot be understood by ordinary people. I admire you very much, but it's a pity that you are really an eyesore."
"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Lin plans to get rid of Yang in Langlang Qiankun?" Yang Xiaobai was surprised that Lin Qian actually admitted it in front of him, but on the surface he was sneering.
Lin Qian shook his head, "Mr. Yang, you misunderstood. How could I do such a thing that violates the rules and gets burned?"
"So, Mr. Lin, what are your plans?" Yang Xiaobai asked lightly.
