late at night.
At the table, Waking up in the early hours of the morning, he was devouring the food on the table. He was really starving. He didn't even take a sip of water, let alone food, all day long.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you." Liu Yuanshan reminded helplessly, this kid was eating too quickly.
"Yeah, I understand..." Chen Chen responded vaguely.
"By the way, be careful and don't get too close to Lin Cheng." Liu Yuanshan seemed to have remembered something, waved his hand and used his inner strength to completely cover the two of them before speaking.
"Huh? Why?" Chen Chen was stunned, stopped and asked.
"Don't ask too many questions. I won't tell you even if you ask. It won't do you any good. You just need to know that the original Lin Cheng is not this character." Liu Yuanshan said softly.
Original character? Chen Ling's eyes flashed and he stopped his chopsticks involuntarily. The amount of information contained in Liu Yuanshan's words was too much.
The impression that Lin Cheng gave him today was that he was synonymous with hypocrisy, moodiness, madness, and a smiling tiger. He originally thought that Lin Cheng had developed such a character because he had been in the military.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all. There may be a plan by Gu Linghai. As for what the plan is, it is unknown, but the plan is definitely not small.
Otherwise, there is no need to take the risk of completely offending the Jingguo royal family and plot against Lin Cheng, the powerful prince.
"Understood? If you understand, don't ask. Knowing too much will not do you any good. There is no need for me to lie to you." Liu Yuanshan glanced at Ling Chen and said softly.
Ling Chen put down his chopsticks and nodded slightly. Compared with these big forces, he was far inferior in terms of power and brains. There was no need for him to wade into muddy waters and cause trouble for himself.
"What are we going to do with Lin Cheng then?" Chen Chen looked at Liu Yuanshan and asked.
"It can be said that his final result was to go crazy. When the Jingguo royal family heard the news, he killed him and let Lin Cheng's legitimate son inherit the throne." Liu Yuanshan picked up a piece of sauce meat and threw it into his mouth.
Hearing this in the early morning, he looked thoughtful. It seemed that Gu Linghai had arranged Lin Cheng's future. It seemed that this plan was no longer a day or two.
"The legitimate son who will inherit the throne..." Ling Chen hesitated.
"We have been in contact for a long time, because the turmoil caused by your coma alarmed Lin Cheng's base camp Wuliang City. His legitimate son will arrive tomorrow, and you will see him then." Liu Yuanshan said.
"Then Lin Cheng's legitimate son wants to inherit the throne, so why do he cooperate with you? There can't be any fraud in this, right?" Ling Chen thought for a while and asked.
"Ha...that is indeed what happened, but that boy can't wait any longer. He has been the heir for more than eighty years, and he has already had enough." Liu Yuanshan sneered with disdain.
"Uh..." Chen Chen was a little bit dumbfounded when he heard this.
I always heard a saying in my previous life: Is there such a thing as a sixty-year-old prince in the world? I didn't expect to meet a real person when I traveled to this world, and he was eighty years old.
Although he is not a prince, the legitimate son of a prince who holds real power in the border area is quite valuable.
"Do you think this prince is not a good person?" Liu Yuanshan suddenly asked.
"A little bit..." Chen Chen nodded honestly.
The crime of patricide is not a trivial matter no matter which dynasty it is in. Even if it happens to a commoner's family, it will shock everyone. Even the emperor will intervene, and all local officials will not be able to escape punishment.
"Then do you think... the real heir would run so far away from Lin City? The whole palace would not agree, right?" Liu Yuanshan said with a half-smile.
Chen Chen was stunned when he heard this. He had forgotten this. If something happened to Lin Cheng, wouldn't it be just a gift for his legitimate son to come?
Unless they are in the base camp or heavily guarded, the prince and his legitimate son will definitely not be together outside, for fear that the entire army will be annihilated.
"This legitimate son is actually a bastard, left behind by Lin Cheng's promiscuity outside. Later, after he recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, he was used by Lin Cheng as a target to protect the real prince in secret." Liu Yuanshan explained sarcastically.
ha! ?
I'm confused in the early morning, can I still play like this? Lin Cheng's trick was very clever. On the surface, he made up for the so-called bastard, and secretly protected the real prince.
"It's a pity that Lin Cheng shouldn't have done anything wrong. He was so smart that he wanted to silence everyone who knew about this, and then only the fake prince would be left alone."
"Ah!? What happened?" Chen Ling was simply overflowing with curiosity.
"Lin Cheng thought so, and indeed did so. The result was that the neighbors, midwife, the woman's whole family, and people who were suspected of knowing about it were all killed." Liu Yuanshan told softly.
"But he never expected that the connection between the child and his mother was not broken, and the woman was also a strong person, otherwise she would not have chosen to have a child alone."
Liu Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh when he said this, as if he admired and regretted the woman very much.
"After the boy found out that his mother didn't reply, he might have guessed something and ran back secretly, only to discover this tragedy."
"Although government officials had already cleaned up the scene, the place where the mother and son had their letters hidden was not discovered. Then the boy found the word "林" written in blood there."
"Lin Zi? How did she know that the person who killed them was sent by Lin Cheng?" Ling Chen keenly discovered the loopholes in it.
"Hehe... Of course she doesn't know, but we know." Liu Yuanshan smiled proudly.
Chen Ling was stunned, then all this made sense. Everything about this fake prince had already been arranged by Gu Linghai.
I'm afraid that Gu Linghai's help prevented him from being discovered by the people in Lincheng, right?
"You don't need to look at me like that. Let's not say that I was also acting under orders. Let's just say that this matter is actually true. It just saves the time of the boy's investigation." Liu Yuanshan explained.
"That's right." Chen Ling nodded and didn't stupidly ask Liu Yuanshan why he didn't save the woman's family.
It's like playing chess. There will always be a few discarded pieces appearing to lure the enemy deeper. Regardless of whether the opponent is fooled or not, these discarded pieces are useless.
And that woman's family are abandoned children. In order to lure the fake prince into the game, how could Gu Linghai save a few abandoned children who were originally dispensable?
I'm afraid that this time the fake prince came to play Lin Cheng's game. The visit was fake, but using the fake prince to fish was real, attracting people and forces who had evil intentions against him.
"When the time comes, I will also ask the fake prince to come to you. You can help me speak to make his belief stronger." Liu Yuanshan finally revealed his true purpose.
"Hey... Mr. Liu, this is your fault. Why do you want to drag a poor monk into trouble?" Ling Chen asked angrily.
"There is no way, no matter what, this is patricide. He still has some pressure. You monks have first-class sophistry skills, and I don't know other monks. Who would I look for if not you?" Liu Yuanshan said nonchalantly.
"...What you said really makes sense." Chen Chen was even more speechless.
"Hehehe, Miuzan." Liu Yuanshan chuckled.
However, Chen Ling still did not refuse this request. After all, it did not violate his principles, although in the eyes of ordinary people, the sin of patricide was greater than the sky.
But in the early hours of the morning, he felt that Lin Cheng was more guilty, and he would definitely help.
