"I've met the fifth prince!"
Outside Lin's house, Lin Bai took Yan Ruxue out to greet him.
After all, he is a prince, so if he pays an honest visit, even if he doesn't want to see him anymore, he still needs to be polite.
No way! That's it for this damn age.
Zhu Liang chuckled and said: "Master Lin, you are very polite. I, the prince, learned that Master Lin had returned and wanted to visit me yesterday. Thinking that Master Lin would return to his father, I waited until today."
Although there was a smile on his face, it seemed a little forced.
He must have encountered a lot of bad things.
Next to him, Wang Ruhai, who was half a step behind him, looked equally ugly, but he was smiling at the moment.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "The fifth prince is polite."
Zhu Liang glanced at Yan Ruxue again, "I didn't expect that the prime minister's daughter was here. It seems that good things are coming for Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin and Miss Yan will get married in the future. Don't forget to give me an invitation. The prince also comes to enjoy the occasion."
Hearing this, Yan Ruxue's pretty face turned even redder.
But it's also generous.
She is the daughter of the prime minister's house. She has seen many situations and dealt with them well.
Lin Bai exclaimed: "Definitely!"
Anyway, if it’s free of charge, and you’re drinking wedding wine, how can it be in vain? You have to take the gift money as you wish!
Immediately, he invited Zhu Liang into the mansion. Yan Ruxue behaved like a hostess and ordered the servants to serve refreshments. They chatted casually.
It's nothing more than caring about the situation after leaving.
After the greetings, Zhu Liang looked around.
How could Yan Ruxue not understand that she had something to say, so she left with an excuse.
Zhu Liang then said: "Mr. Lin, have you ever heard about the marriage?"
He looked a little helpless.
really!
That’s really what I came for!
But it's not surprising. Apart from this matter, the two of them had nothing to do with each other, but the talented man was obviously not interested, so he had to pretend to be confused, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Liang was a little aggrieved when he saw the question.
Wang Ruhai interrupted: "Master Lin doesn't know something. The mission just returned to Beijing..."
He told the story again, just what Yan Ruxue said, "Mr. Lin, it was you who proposed to His Majesty that the fifth prince go to the Wu Dynasty for marriage. Now the second prince and the third prince have evil thoughts. It is clear that they are Plunder the mission’s merits.”
"As the deputy envoy of the mission, Mr. Lin hopes that Mr. Lin can support the fifth prince."
Is this really a reason?
Lin Bai was speechless.
This coolness is also okay! I wanted to support myself, but I found such a reason.
All right! Speaking of which, when he proposed it and Wu Chao tried his best to promote it, many people might actually think that he and the fifth prince were wearing the same pants.
Zhu Liang doesn't think so too, right? Or are you deliberately pretending to be confused and trying to tie yourself into a chariot?
Dream on! There is everything in the dream.
It doesn't matter who among you, Mr. Zhu, becomes emperor, but I don't have the leisure time!
And the mission’s credit? He had just learned from Eunuch Cao that all the people on this mission were rewarded, and the rewards were extremely generous.
"Is this happening?"
Lin Bai pretended to be confused, with a look of surprise on his face, and then said: "Fifth prince, there is no need to worry, I believe your majesty has made his own decision."
Zhu Liang said: "That's true, but..."
After all, it was just that he wanted to get Lin Bai, and Lin Bai naturally laughed, saying that he had just come back and would understand the situation before talking.
But he was vomiting in his heart: These princes haven't even taken care of other girls, so they just think about it?
Do you really think Gu Linger is a fuel-efficient lamp? I want to eat shit!
After saying a few more words, Zhu Liang said goodbye and left.
After seeing him off, Lin Bai looked at Yan Ruxue beside him and asked casually, "The fifth prince has few supporters?"
Yan Ruxue nodded, "Not much indeed!"
"His mother-in-law is just an ordinary concubine, and the power behind her is average. At least she cannot be compared with the second and third princes. Now that the second and third princes are targeting him, there must be a lot of pressure."
Ah!
These princes.
Lin Bai was speechless and asked curiously: "There must be a reason, right? Just because of identity?"
Yan Ruxue said: "This is just superficial talk. I heard from my father that the second prince and the third prince accused him of having ulterior motives, saying that he was behind the incident involving the Night King's child."
"He deliberately spread this incident and revealed that Fan Renli and Qin Guogong were involved in the matter, which directly caused the second and third princes to be eliminated and reap the benefits."
"Your Majesty is furious because of this."
No wonder!
It turns out it was because of this incident, let’s just say it!
If it had been anything else, Lao Zhu might not have cared about it, but this incident was unusual and created a gap between Lao Zhu and the Night King.
Although nothing can be seen yet, if the child is never found, everyone knows what will happen in the future. Even Lao Zhu is involved in the conspiracy, so it would be strange if he is not angry.
Yan Ruxue asked curiously, "Do you think this matter has something to do with him?"
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Judging from the results, he is indeed the biggest beneficiary. I'm afraid many people will doubt this."
Yan Ruxue said: "Isn't it?"
Lin Bai shook his head, "I'm not sure, but judging from the time I've been in contact with him, neither he nor Wang Ruhai seems like someone who can set up such a trap."
"Unless there is someone else hiding behind him."
Yan Ruxue paused, "What if it's the Right Prime Minister? Do you think it's possible?"
Yu Changqing?
Lin Bai was startled for a moment and looked at her in surprise.
Yan Ruxue said: "Father also said something similar to you. He also didn't believe that this was the fault of the fifth prince and Wang Ruhaibu, but if Mr. Yu was behind it, it wouldn't necessarily be the case."
Lin Bai frowned slightly, he really had no impression of Yu Changqing.
Although this person is a right-wing prime minister, he basically doesn't care about anything.
Every time I see him, he looks drowsy, but Lao Yan has said that this person has an unclear position and is very cunning.
Yan Ruxue glanced at Lin Bai and said, "Now many people in the court think that you support the fifth prince. What are you going to do?"
Lin Bai smiled and said, "What else can we do? Of course we are watching a show. They are fighting for their wives. As long as they don't fight for my wife, I have no time to care."
As he spoke, he deliberately winked at Miss Yan.
Yan Ruxue glared at him with her beautiful eyes, but the corner of her mouth was filled with sweetness.
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Actually, there is one thing I am very curious about."
Yan Ruxue asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
"Fourth Prince!"
Lin Bai said, "Since I entered the capital, there has been more or less news from all the princes. The second prince and the third prince are fighting to the death. Now the fifth prince has also joined the battle, but unfortunately, there is no movement at all from the fourth prince. Don't you think Is it weird?"
Yan Ruxue frowned and said, "Dad said that he noticed His Majesty's displeasure and has restrained himself since a year ago."
Lin Bai shook his head, "No! Even if he restrains himself, the other princes will not let him go. After all, he is the most promising one."
Yan Ruxue thought for a while, "That's right! Why is that?"
Lin Bai smiled and shook his head, "It's hard to say yet, but I'm beginning to believe what your father said. This person is very extraordinary."

Some people died, but not completely...
