After pushing aside the boat in front of them, Zhao Lin and his party finally arrived at the dock outside the capital.

"It's a pity that we forgot to ask people to dredge the city's waterways in advance. Otherwise, it would be a good sight for all these ships to come to the capital together to celebrate His Majesty's birthday." Zhao Lin said regretfully.

The corners of Bai Shiyuan's mouth twitched.

You're not a good person. Why are you making such a grand ceremony? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will be angry and dismiss you?

Fu Liqing said with a smile: "If you dare to do this, Dad will have to criticize you for wasting people's money and time."

Zhao Lin laughed: "This is a birthday gift for His Majesty, my father-in-law won't tell anyone."

Dozens of large ships were docked at the pier, attracting everyone's attention.

Many people who were watching Zhao Lin's itinerary had been keeping an eye on him, and when they knew he was coming, they came over to watch.

"Brother, I'm here to pick you up."

Bai Shicheng jumped down from the carriage, took a few quick steps, and bowed to Zhao Lin, saying, "Master Zhao, long time no see."

Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Brother Bai, you're too polite. Just call me Zhao Lin. It's been over a year since we last met. Brother Bai, how are you?"

Being addressed as "Brother Bai" by the Governor-General Zhao Lin in public, Bai Shicheng felt flattered and said with a smile, "Thanks to you, sir, everything is fine."

The attendant set up the steps, and Bai Shicheng hurried up, saying, "The last time we met, Your Excellency was still the Governor-General. Only a year has passed, and you're already the Governor-General. When it comes to rapid promotion, Your Excellency is unmatched."

Zhao Lin said: "It is all due to your majesty's grace."

Bai Shicheng saw that Zhao Lin was not impatient at all, and did not have the arrogance of a villain who had succeeded. He should not be evil, so why did he do these things on the road?

Bai Shicheng said, "Since Master Zhao has just arrived in the capital, he must be busy. I will not disturb you. When you are done with your work, if you are free, I will invite you to the banquet."

Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Why be so polite? When I have time, I'll host the party. Brother Bai, please invite Brother Jiang, Brother Han and the others to join us. Then we can all become acquaintances."

"It's settled." Bai Shicheng said happily.

Bai Shiyuan coughed lightly and said, "Master Zhao, we will leave first."

Zhao Lin nodded and said, "See you another day."

After Bai Shiyuan left, Chi Qiaoyu also said goodbye to Zhao Lin.

"Sir Zhao, shall we go see the Emperor?" the eunuch who delivered the decree said in a shrill voice.

Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will make some arrangements first."

Zhao Lin said to Fu Wenqi, "Brother, take Qing'er and Zhiyi to the Fu Mansion first. I'll pick them up when I return from the palace."

"Okay, be careful."

Fu Wenqi glanced at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict and gave instructions.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch was not the familiar one, which meant that the emperor was angry.

I don’t know how Zhao Lin will survive this disaster.

Zhao Lin nodded and said to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, "Eunuch Xu, please come in."

Eunuch Xu hurriedly said, "Master Zhao, please go first."

The two were about to get on the carriage and leave.

"Zhao Lin, come here!"

The curtain of the carriage next to them was lifted, and Zhao Mingya shouted from inside.

Eunuch Xu smiled and said, "Master Zhao is so promising at such a young age. We are really envious of him. Even the fifth daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis's residence has come to greet him."

Zhao Lin glanced at Zhao Mingya calmly and said, "You're joking, eunuch. I can't afford to marry into the Zhenbei Marquisate."

Zhao Lin asked Eunuch Xu to get in the car first. Just as he was about to get in, Zhao Mingya said anxiously, "Zhao Lin, come here, I have something to say."

Eunuch Xu smiled and said, "After all, she is Miss Zhao Wu. Master Zhao might as well go and take a look."

Zhao Lin said, "Please wait a moment, sir."

Zhao Lin came to Zhao Mingya's carriage with a gloomy face: "What's the matter?"

"Come up." Zhao Mingya said dissatisfiedly.

Zhao Lin actually ignored her, which made her very unhappy.

You are just a governor. Once Prince Yu comes to power, you will be finished immediately.

Zhao Lin said, "Let's go without saying anything."

"Wait." Zhao Mingya looked around and saw no one, then hurriedly said, "Mother said you are not allowed to reveal your relationship with us. Wait until the storm has passed and His Majesty is no longer angry, then I will find a way to save you."

Zhao Lin sneered, "I was wondering what else it was, but it turns out to be this. Tell Han Yuehua not to worry, don't tell me I'm fine. Even if I was, I wouldn't tell you about it, because there's nothing between us."

After saying that, Zhao Lin turned and left.

"Humph, you're so tough now, but don't come begging us when you're banished by His Majesty."

Zhao Mingya said sarcastically.

Zhao Lin didn't bother to pay attention to her and got into the car and left.

Zhao Mingya also completed the task, lowered the door curtain, and said: "Go back."

After everyone left, Anquan carefully emerged from the cabin under the cover of the Qingzhou Army and quickly boarded the waiting carriage. He said, "Quick! Return to the palace immediately. We have something very important to tell our godfather."

Anquan and Eunuch Xu boarded the boat at the same time. When Eunuch Xu arrived, Anquan couldn't show up, so since he only had one day, he didn't get off the boat halfway. He waited until the boat reached the shore and Eunuch Xu left before he got off.

He was almost terrified.

If the news Zhao Lin told him was true, it would definitely cause a storm.

Zhao Chenhan looked like a decent person, but he actually did that kind of thing!

In the carriage, Eunuch Xu touched the banknotes in his sleeve and took the initiative to speak: "Miss Zhao Wu took the initiative to come to greet you. Why don't you say a few more words to her, Master Zhao? There is no need to rush to enter the palace."

Zhao Lin shook his head and said, "Nothing is more important than your Majesty's affairs. If the boat hadn't been so slow, I would have galloped into the palace to meet your Majesty."

"Lord Zhao is so loyal to the emperor and the country. His Majesty will surely be pleased to know this."

Eunuch Xu praised, "There are so many people on the boat, it's hard for us to speak. Rong Fei is His Majesty's favorite concubine recently. His Majesty is very angry this time. Lord Zhao should pay attention. If you have any preparations, start now, so that it won't be too late."
