Chapter 15: The plan of Zhenbei Hou has come to nothing~
"Dad, I want to meet Master Feng's granddaughter."
Shangguan Lin pretended to read lips.
Slowly said: "Shunshun wants to meet Master Feng's granddaughter?"
Shangguan Sui nodded.
[Daddy is so smart! He can even read lips! ]
Shangguan Lin laughed awkwardly twice.
Fortunately, he can hear what Shunshun is thinking, otherwise, just by looking at his lips, he really wouldn’t understand what Shunshun is saying.
"Eunuch Chen, go to the residence of Grand Tutor Feng and convey my oral order to summon Grand Tutor Feng's granddaughter to the palace tomorrow to meet the Concubine Chen."
Eunuch Chen immediately bowed.
"I obey your order."
Shangguan Sui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
My throat is saved!
Shangguan Lin also began to continue handling government affairs with peace of mind.
Shangguan Sui ate his cakes while looking around.
She no longer takes medicine and no longer wants to sleep every day like before.
After eating a plate of cakes and drinking a large cup of milk tea.
Shangguan Sui leaned back on the dragon chair and burped.
Shangguan Lin couldn't help but laugh quietly when he heard the sound, and turned to look at her.
"Are you tired, Susan? Can Daddy take you to the Yu Garden for a stroll?"
Shangguan Sui nodded immediately.
[Okay, okay! Let's go out for a walk! I've been sitting here for almost two hours, and my butt is sore! ]
【Go out and play! Go out and play! 】
Shangguan Lin was a little tired from reviewing memorials, so he immediately took Shangguan Sui towards Yu Garden.
Shangguan Sui walked unsteadily on the cobblestone path of the Yu Garden, limping with his calves.
[Humph, it’s all my dad’s fault. He holds me in his arms all day and won’t let me walk! ]
[As a result, I am still walking unsteadily even though I am three years old! ]
Shangguan Lin: ...
Your mother obviously holds you in her arms all day long, so why don't you blame her?
You only blame him, right?
Although she thought so, Shangguan Lin still followed Shangguan Sui closely, fearing that she would fall.
Two people walked one after the other.
Following behind were many maids and eunuchs.
Suddenly, a sharp cold light appeared!
A maid suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it straight at Shangguan Lin!
Everyone was suddenly in a panic.
Eunuch Chen shouted, "Guard the driver! Guard the driver!"
Shangguan Lin immediately dodged to the side.
The maid stepped closer, and at that moment, a guard flew forward and swung his long sword.
He immediately subdued the maid and pinned her to the ground.
The Yu Lin army also rushed over immediately and arrested the maid assassin.
Shangguan Lin picked up Shangguan Sui and coaxed him softly, "Shun Sui, are you okay?"
Shangguan Sui blinked and shook his head slowly.
[It was really scary just now, luckily daddy is fine~]
[This maid is really brave. She actually dared to assassinate the emperor in public! ]
Shangguan Lin was relieved then, and walked to the guard with Shangguan Sui in his arms, unable to help but praise him.
"You are very quick to react. You are a rare talent. What's your name?"
The guard raised his head, revealing a very handsome face.
"Your Majesty, my name is Ma Jingxin."
Shangguan Sui’s ears stood up.
Why does this name sound so familiar?
Shangguan Lin looked at Ma Jingxin in front of him and was very satisfied.
"You are a skilled martial artist. It would be unfair for you to patrol the palace in the Yulin Army. How about..."
【Can't!!!】
[Daddy! This Ma Jingxin is from the Zhenbei Marquis's side!]
Shangguan Lin:?!
How could he be the Marquis of Zhenbei’s men!
Shangguan Sui was so angry that he kept humming.
[Zhenbei Hou is really smart. His current power is not strong enough to rebel, so he has already placed people around you.]
[In the original book, when the Marquis of Zhenbei started his rebellion, this Ma Jingxin and the Marquis of Zhenbei worked together to assassinate my father! ]
[Dad was stabbed by a sword. Although he survived, he became seriously ill. His temper became worse and worse. In the end, he became a tyrant who would kill nine clans and kill people at will. The people of Dayue Kingdom also gradually became impoverished...]
Shangguan Lin's heart shuddered when he heard this.
A cold sweat oozed down my back.
Fortunately, Shunshun reminded him, otherwise he would have really kept a vicious wolf by his side.
Fortunately, it's not too late now.
Shangguan Sui grabbed Shangguan Lin's clothes and blinked his eyes continuously.
"Ababa Aba——"
[Dad, you must not keep this Ma Jingxin around! ]
[He will try to harm you! He is the man of Zhenbei Hou! ]
Shangguan Lin reached out and gently patted Shangguan Sui on the back and nodded at her.
Then his eyes fell on Ma Jingxin who was kneeling on the ground.
The tone suddenly changed.
"Guardian Ma Jingxin has done a great job in saving the emperor. I will reward him with 100 taels of gold as a reward."
Ma Jingxin looked up in shock.
? !
How could this happen? The emperor didn't transfer him to be his personal guard?
Then wouldn't everything we planned for today be wasted?
What about Lord Hou's plan?
It’s over, it’s over, but what went wrong?
Shangguan Sui smiled happily upon hearing this.
[Wow, she and Daddy really have such a tacit understanding! ]
[Great! Zhenbeihou’s plan has come to fruition~]
[Daddy won't get hurt anymore! Otsuki Country will definitely get better and better! ]
Shangguan Lin hugged Shangguan Sui and left Yu Garden.
As he left, he glanced coldly at Ma Jingxin who was kneeling on the ground.
It is not easy for him to deal with Zhenbei Hou directly.
It was easy to get rid of a guard without anyone noticing.
Ma Jingxin lowered his eyes and thought about his performance just now, and his body suddenly trembled.
Why did he suddenly feel a chill down his spine in the middle of the day?
Shangguan Lin had just returned to Yu's study with Shangguan Sui in her arms when Concubine Chen's men arrived.
Qing Ping bowed her head and said slowly, "Your Majesty—"
