"Hahaha, it's a long story!" Lin Mo said, "My acquaintance with Lord He was a case of 'no fight, no friendship.' In the beginning, Lord He was hired by that guy Li Hu to kill me."

But later, when I met Lord He, he was overwhelmed by my regal aura. I don't know why, but he became willing to pledge his loyalty to me and serve me.

Isn't that strange?

Upon hearing this, He Xiao and Sun Mian's expressions changed immediately.

"I say, King of Shu, you really know how to flatter yourself!" He Xiao thought to himself.

Seeing this, Lin Mo looked at He Xiao and asked, "Lord He, is that right?"

He Xiao gave a bitter smile. He really wanted to expose him, but he held back in the end and replied, "Probably, more or less!"

"Hahaha, did you hear that?" Lin Mo laughed.

The topic was successfully steered away from in this way.

Lin Mo's idea came to him suddenly, just to circumvent the problem, but the speaker meant no harm, while the listener took it to heart.

"Your Highness, do you mean you had the disciples of Xuanhua Palace lie in ambush here from the very beginning?" Sun Mian couldn't help but ask, "And what about these ministers?"

What he wanted to ask was, "You clearly made preparations, yet you hesitated to act, allowing Wei Maozhen to kill court officials."

“That’s right!” Lin Mo’s answer was casual and cold. “Shouldn’t they have died?”

Sun Mian froze. "That's true. But if you had acted sooner, you could have saved these ministers..."

Suddenly, Sun Mian found Lin Mo in front of him to be so unfamiliar.

Although he sometimes laughs and jokes, there's a chilling aura about him deep down.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo's expression darkened, and he asked, "Future father-in-law! What were they doing when my father and brothers were killed by Wei Maozhen?"

What were they doing when I was in Shu and Li Liang's Chiyan Army was attacking me?

What were Li Hu doing when he colluded with the Dos people to try to kill me?

What is Wei Maozhen trying to achieve by setting this trap?

"Why should I sympathize with them?"

Most importantly, how can I quickly reverse public opinion if I don't allow Wei Maozhen to kill court officials? And this is something Lin Mo certainly won't say.

This series of questions made Sun Mian blush.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Sun Mian's mind: "Lin Mo...Wei Maozhen...The Heart of an Emperor?"
