When the prince asked, Lin Yi told him the whole process in detail.
After hearing this, the prince understood everything.
The prince couldn't help but raise his forehead with his hands.
"My father is really foresighted. If I hadn't left this imperial edict in case of emergency, I would have died in Tianling Palace today. Teng Bin went there in a hurry and handled it appropriately. I will definitely use him in the future.
." At this point, the prince patted his head gently and said: "As for Song E taking the handwritten letter with my seal to harm you, I understand. Someone must have stolen it when King Kang and King Dong were drunk.
The seal is on the oracle..."
Lin Yi said: "Brother, Song E is a subordinate of King Kang. He took your handwriting to harm me. There is a hidden secret in it. Also, when Fan Heng and I arrived at the palace, Yuan Hui's subordinates surrounded the palace and refused to let us in.
After we entered, the assassins had already entered the palace. There were heavy troops surrounding the palace, how could hundreds of assassins get in so easily... Moreover, after the assassins took action, the defenders outside the palace failed to rescue them in time. It was difficult for the assassins to protect my brother.
Having done something, Yuan Huicai brought people into the palace to rescue him. All this is thought-provoking. Brother, you have to be careful every step in the future!"
Since two other princes were involved, and Prince Kang was the prince's brother, it was inconvenient for Lin Yi to say clearly that the people behind all this were Prince Kang and Prince Dong.
Although the prince is compassionate and sincere, he is not a fool either.
He didn't need to figure things out anymore, Lin Yi had already sorted them out for him.
Moreover, when he came back from praying to the Buddha today, he encountered heavy snow. He was still worried about his critically ill father and was preparing to rush back. It was his two brothers who forced him to go to the palace to drink to keep away the cold. As a result, they got him drunk again. He lay drunk in the palace,
Those assassins happened to enter the palace again to assassinate...
This is a conspiracy through and through.
It means someone wants to replace him.
In order to seize the imperial power, flesh and blood began to fight against each other.
The prince felt really sad when he thought of this.
The prince sighed.
"Second brother, I understand. I really didn't expect them to do this this time...I will definitely be careful in the future. As for this matter, I will deal with it after I ascend the throne."
Lin Yi knew that the "they" the prince referred to referred to King Kang and King Dong. The prince did not mention their names directly, because firstly it was a family scandal. Secondly, he took the brotherhood into consideration.
He is indeed a kind master.
As long as the prince understands that this conspiracy is the work of two brothers, it will be fine.
Lin Yi couldn't say more.
As for how to deal with it in the future, that is the prince's business.
The prince said again: "Second brother, you still have to help your brother."
Lin Yi said: "Now you and I are brothers. If you have any questions, please feel free to tell me."
The prince said: "My father will die at any time. This is also the critical time for the fight for the throne. It is easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows. Before I ascend the throne, I ask my second brother to protect me at all times. After I ascend the throne, the overall situation will be
It’s settled.”
Lin Yi originally wanted to leave after rescuing the prince and return to the world to find his wife, Qin Dingfang and his fifteenth uncle.
Now that the prince treats him sincerely and becomes a brother of a different surname, he cannot leave his brother in danger alone.
Lin Yi said: "Okay. Before I ascend the throne, brother, I will protect you. But after all, I killed Feng Liancheng in public. There are many people in the court who hate me. Otherwise, they will not use the power of King Kang to get rid of me. I don't want to cause trouble. And
I killed Feng Liancheng, and if you ask me to protect you, I'm afraid you will be criticized. Then the officials who hate me will not support you. So, I don't want to show my true face. When your elder brother successfully ascends the throne, as he said,
The overall situation is settled."
Lin Yi decided to wait until the prince ascended the throne before leaving.
Anyway, the emperor has fallen into a coma and may not survive for a few days.
It won't delay him for too long.
After hearing this, the prince thought for a while and said: "Second brother, you are thoughtful. This is easy, just wear a mask. Haha, I will give you a unique mask in the world. I don't know how many people want it.
Put on that mask."
Lin Yi is not picky about what kind of mask it is, as long as it is a secondary mask.
At this time, Lin Yi vaguely heard the sound of numerous galloping horses.
Lin Yi said: "Brother, there are people coming this way! This temple is not far from the road and it is not safe. Let's leave now."
The prince now became brothers with Lin Yi and had 100% trust in Lin Yi.
The prince said: "Brother, I will leave this life to you."
Lin Yi put out the fire and took the prince out of the temple.
The prince wanted to see whose military horse was coming.
Lin Yi took the prince and flew behind him to a mound of dirt on the roadside. The mound was about two feet away from the road. Since he could clearly see the soldiers and horses, it was not easy to be discovered.
Soon, a group of military horses came from the direction of the capital.
There were countless torches lighting up the road, and the entire army formed a long "fire dragon" in the snowy night. There were also generals who kept urging the army to move quickly.
Seeing the general's flag, the prince said happily: "Second brother, these are the troops of General Wei Jin of the Northern Camp! General Wei is my man and is extremely loyal to me. He can be completely trusted."
Lin Yi was also very happy after hearing this.
The prince's people have arrived, there is no need to worry.
Looking at the formation, there are two thousand troops.
Lin Yi first tore off a piece of clothing and covered his face, then he hugged the prince and walked out from behind the mound.
At this moment, hundreds of people have passed by.
Lin Yi said: "His Royal Highness is here."
Lin Yi's voice echoed in the wind and snow.
The rushing troops immediately reined in their horses when they heard this.
Hundreds of troops from the army closest to the mound had come on horseback. When they got closer, when they saw the real prince, they all dismounted and knelt down.
Soon, the forward generals also turned their horses and came.
The leader was none other than the general Wei Jin who was loyal to the prince.
Wei Jin was in his forties, with a strong back and a strong waist.
He was wearing armor, with a cloak covering the armor, and he was carrying a large sword.
Wei Jin got off his horse and ran forward. He threw away his sword, took off his cloak, and put it on the prince first. Then he knelt down and said in the tunnel: "Your Highness! It turns out that someone really wants to harm you... I came too late to save you! Fortunately, Your Highness is fine, otherwise,
It’s really hard for me to atone for my sins by dying a hundred times.”
Wei Jin burst into tears.
The voice was also choked.
The prince said: "You all get up."
Wei Jin and all the soldiers stood up.
Then Wei Jin waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately protected the prince from all sides.
The prince said to Wei Jin: "How did you know that I would have trouble bringing someone here?"
Wei Jin said: "Teng Bin sent someone to inform me that His Highness is stranded in Tianling Palace, and I am afraid that someone may do harm to Your Highness. So I led the army. However, due to the heavy wind and snow, it was difficult to move quickly. I was extremely anxious.
I really wish I could have wings on my back."
After Wei Jin finished speaking, he and several generals looked at Lin Yi.
They were very curious about who this masked man wearing only single clothes and one bare foot was.
The prince said: "This is my sworn brother. Thanks to my brother for saving me tonight. From now on, when you see him, you will see me. If you are disrespectful, you will not be lenient."
Wei Jin and others were surprised when they heard this. This man turned out to be the prince's sworn brother!
What an honor and blessing it is to be able to become brothers with the same surname as the future emperor.
Wei Jin and others hurriedly saluted Lin Yi respectfully, but they did not know how to address Lin Yi. Lin Yi would not show his true face to others, and of course he would not show his true name to others.
Lin Yi said: "My name is Lin Qin."
Lin Yi simply added the surname Qin to the surname Lin as his first name.
Wei Jin and others called Lin Yi Lord Lin.
At this moment, a general on the road shouted: "Your Highness, there are men and horses coming in the opposite direction!"
