If what Lin Ling did was to hand the Queen a knife and find shelter for herself, then the fact that He Ding Hong was found on Ling Yin's body completely confirmed the Queen's defeat of Chang.
Princess heart.
As the saying goes, mothers must be strong. What mother would be indifferent to harm to her child! Especially for a first-time mother like the Queen, the child is a treasure that no one can harm.
But of course, the empress did not directly confront the eldest princess. After all, she was not an idiot. In this situation where the gap between the enemy and ourselves was huge, it was impossible to confront the princess, even in this life.
Gou, is the kingly way!
In this way, the drama of the Empress & Emperor Jing vs. the eldest princess officially kicked off. Emperor Jing, who was originally so helpless that he almost turned into a mascot, finally began to recover from his disadvantage in the court bit by bit with the help of the Empress, and slowly regained his power.
Pried it out from the hands of the eldest princess.
This is undoubtedly a long tug-of-war, and after eight years of resistance...ah, after eight years of struggle, Emperor Jing finally achieved the goal of being evenly matched with the eldest princess, and the factions in the court were basically divided into the emperor faction.
There are two factions, the Princess Faction, and a small number of neutral factions that do not help each other but have considerable strength.
Among them, the struggle between the Emperor's faction and the Princess's faction has also entered a state of incompatibility. Therefore, the atmosphere in the Imperial Capital has become more and more solemn recently. No one knows when the final battle between these two bosses will break out.
No one knows whether they will become victims of this fight.
And in this situation where everyone was in danger, a game of chess was going on quietly in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Imperial Capital.
The two people playing chess are obviously very different in age. One looks like a child under 10 years old, while the other is obviously a middle-aged man in his 40s.
The clothes of the two of them are relatively simple, and there is obviously a lot of age difference, but the scene of this game has an indescribable sense of harmony, which makes people not feel weird at all.
Looking at the scene on the chessboard, black stones and white stones are scattered on it, but the gap is very obvious. Even a newcomer who has just learned Go can see that the black stones are in an extremely disadvantageous situation at this moment, while the white stones are obviously
It has become unstoppable.
Even so, as the person holding the black child, the child who was less than 10 years old still did not have any panic, and still had a faint smile on his face. His eyes were dark and clear, but he had a maturity that should not belong to a child at all.
and calm.
He seemed to be thinking, and after a long while, he finally made a move.
"Crack-"
The eyes of the middle-aged man playing chess with him also fell on the piece he dropped, with a slightly puzzled expression. Because it was really an ordinary piece, and the position of the piece seemed to have an impact on the entire chess game.
Nothing has changed.
But is it really so?
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and after thinking for a few minutes, he sighed.
"Crack-"
"Crack-"
This time, the child fell extremely quickly, as if he had already expected what the middle-aged man would do.
After seeing the missing child, the middle-aged man's expression finally changed, but he felt as if he was really astonished.
Because after this piece, the situation of the entire chessboard changed. The white piece that was originally in control of the victory was directly killed by the dragon, while the black piece that was at a disadvantage instantly turned over and became the master.
No one said anything, and the two continued to play chess.
Finally, the child who was once again left behind smiled softly, "Li Xiang, you lost."
"Wei Chen indeed lost. Your Highness is so powerful at chess that I am not as good as me." The middle-aged man, or rather, the current leader of the centrist faction in the Fengqi Empire's court, Li Xikong, the current Prime Minister of the Left, sighed and simply admitted defeat.
The child playing chess with him seemed to be Lin Ling, who had been in this world for eight years.
Different from his age eight years ago, Lin Ling now has a calmer temperament and an incomprehensible feeling. Obviously, these eight years have had a great impact on him.
In fact, this is also true. If at first, due to the targeting of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the language barrier and other issues, Lin Ling was very dissatisfied with the fact that he traveled through time and became a baby. Then later, when he was raised by the Queen Mother, he was
The Queen Mother taught him personally for 8 years, but he felt more and more that this session was worth it.
Can you imagine what it would be like to be personally taught by a top old coin? Lin Ling felt that just returning to the city immediately this time was enough.
And the reason why he is sitting here playing chess with Li Xikong now is because of the test given to him by the Queen Mother - maybe he is really upset by the fight between the emperor and the eldest princess, or maybe he just simply wants to
To see the results of her own parenting, when Lin Ling was six years old, the Queen Mother secretly pushed her into a game of chess.
At the age of 6, Lin Ling had already begun to secretly interfere in matters above the court. Even the rise of Emperor Jing and the Empress, who had been suppressed in the past few years, was all because of Lin Ling's secret interference.
——Here Rong Linling complained, he finally understood why his emperor father was suppressed like that by the eldest princess when he was born. Such people are not on the same level at all, okay! His emperor father is really
Was it taught by his imperial grandmother? There is a huge difference in the number of steps!
His emperor father’s cunt index is not even as good as the queen’s mother. Can you believe it?
And the reason why he appears here now is for a list, a list of the eldest princess's hidden secrets buried in the emperor's faction.
"Since Prime Minister Li lost, he shouldn't be cheating!" So that's what Lin Ling said just after the game ended.
"Wei Chen will naturally not cheat..." Li Xikong said as he put his hand into his arms, pulled out a rolled brocade handkerchief and handed it to Lin Ling.
After the latter took it, he shook it and opened it, only to see several black names on it. Li Xikong said at the same time: "The list His Highness wants is all on it."
"Then I'd like to thank Prime Minister Li..." Lin Ling glanced at the names, put the brocade handkerchief away, and said at the same time: "It's getting late today, I have to go back to accompany the emperor's grandmother, so I won't stay here tonight.
Come on!" After saying that, he was about to leave, but just as he turned around, he heard Li Xikong's voice.
"Your Highness, can you help me clarify my doubts?"
Lin Ling paused and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Li has any doubts about?"
"Your Highness, can you tell me what your Highness's heart is?" Li Xikong said in a leisurely manner, not caring whether his words were out of line. "After all, Your Highness has the intention to sit in that seat above ten thousand people.
Or do you just want to escape from the mortal world and seek the fate of immortality?"
Faced with such a question, ordinary people might have become hairy, but Lin Ling, who knew a little about Li Xikong, remained calm and asked: "Is this question important?"
"It's very important, Your Highness." Li Xikong said unhurriedly, "Wei Chen believes that His Highness's intelligence and wisdom will lead our Fengqi Empire to a prosperous age, but if Wei Chen is to be with Your Majesty today,
Her Highness the Princess chooses one of them, but the minister trusts Her Highness the Princess more."
This is too much to say. If outsiders heard this, they could even directly accuse Li Xi of being disrespectful to Kong Zhi. And the meaning is also very obvious. It is clear that if Lin Ling wants to be the emperor, he Li Xi
Kong agreed 100%, but if Lin Ling was not interested in becoming emperor, he might have to turn against Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Of course, considering the abilities of his emperor father, Lin Ling can completely understand this.
You don't care what Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess did to him. At least Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was able to cover the sky with one hand in the court. Her ability was really beyond words.
But after hearing this, Lin Ling felt a slight stomachache.
