With Lou Jinchuan's help, Li Yanlin straightened his back instantly.
What Li Yancheng, is he afraid? He is not afraid!
According to the plan given by Li Yanlin, Lou Jinchuan intentionally or unintentionally recommended Li Yanlin as the next emperor to the emperor who was seriously ill.
Although the emperor was seriously ill, his mind was not completely confused. After a few interactions, he instantly realized that Lou Jinchuan had already colluded with Li Yanlin.
He hasn't died yet, but his second son is eager to take the throne. He really doesn't take him seriously!
Lou Jinchuan realized that the emperor had already disliked Li Yanlin, and he "sincerely" reported the matter to Li Yanlin "truthfully".
“…Second Prince, what should we do now? The Emperor seems to no longer intend to make you the Crown Prince.” Lou Jinchuan frowned and looked worriedly at the person with pale lips opposite him.
Li Yanlin clenched his hands quietly on the tea table, his eyes darkening, "Then who does my father want to establish as his successor?!"
"This..." Lou Jinchuan hesitated, "This humble official is not very clear about this either."
As soon as Li Yanlin saw his expression, he knew he wasn't telling the truth, so he used threats and inducements to coerce him, saying, "Some things can and cannot be said. General Wang should be aware of this, right? If someone else were to sit in that position, it seems that the matter between General Wang and He Yanxi wouldn't be so easy."
Hearing this, Lou Jinchuan's face changed. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and blurted out, "When I left the palace today, I heard that the Emperor summoned the Minister of War, Lord Wu. Lord Wu has always supported Prince Xiaoyao, so I dare to guess that the Emperor might have some intention..."
Having said that, he shut up and didn't point it out.
But Li Yanlin could guess. Lou Jinchuan had said so much, if he still didn't understand, then he would be stupid.
"Li Yancheng!" Li Yanlin suddenly slammed the table and angrily said word by word, "No, my father will never make him the crown prince!"
Everyone knew who Li Yancheng's mother was. How could a son born from such a lowly woman, a prostitute, be worthy of sitting in such a supreme position?!
Lou Jinchuan sighed slightly, "Second Prince, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Li Yanlin: "Speak!"
"The Second Prince must know better than me what the Emperor's mother, your grandmother, is like, right?"
Li Yanlin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he became even more uneasy.
The fact that the Empress Dowager was a foot-washing slave was a palace secret and a lifelong pain point for my father. No one was allowed to mention it, but that didn't mean no one dared to spread it in private.
Lou Jinchuan was very satisfied with his reaction and continued, "Second Prince, do you know who a beggar is most likely to make friends with?"
"Who is a beggar most likely to make friends with? Of course beggars, who else could it be?!" Li Yanlin was annoyed. What's wrong with this General Wang? What was he talking about beggars?
"Yes, beggars are the easiest to make friends with. Birds of a feather flock together. It's just that beggars sometimes dislike other beggars. However, no matter how much they dislike him, beggars still know that beggars are the only ones in the world who don't despise him for being a beggar." After Lou Jinchuan finished speaking, he lowered his head with a dry mouth and took a few sips of tea.
Li Yanlin was awakened by his words and stood up suddenly. "Yes, only beggars don't despise beggars! General Wang, there are some things that this prince can't wait any longer. After all, sitting and waiting for death is not a good idea."
Hearing this, Lou Jinchuan curled his lips slightly, raised his head, and said seriously, "The Second Prince means..."
"Let's go all the way." Li Yanlin narrowed his eyes, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
Lou Jinchuan slowly stood up and looked at him straight, "Second Prince, have you made up your mind?"
"This prince has made up his mind. I need you to help me complete this matter."
"This..." Lou Jinchuan pursed his lips in embarrassment, "The Emperor has become wary of me, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Li Yanlin smiled and shook his head, his face showing no sign of concealing his fierceness. "Don't worry, this prince doesn't need you to do it yourself. You just need to help me guard the palace gate."
Lou Jinchuan understood, smiled, bowed his head, and said, "Your humble servant obeys your command."
…
Lou Jinchuan came back early this time and thought he could see Yan Xi when she was awake, but Yan Xi fell asleep again, even earlier than before.
He looked at the man on the bed whose face was becoming paler and thinner day by day. The fingers touching his face trembled, and his heart ached a little more.
It felt like there was a mountain in his heart, sinking faster and faster, making it hard for him to breathe.
Just at this moment, Yan Xi's long eyelashes moved. He slowly opened his eyes, saw him, pulled his pale lips, and smiled, "You're back."
"Yeah." Lou Jinchuan picked him up and kissed him on the forehead, "I'm back."
Yan Xi was used to it, leaning lazily against him, wondering, "Why did you come back so early this time?"
Lou Jinchuan stared at him with his dark eyes, "Because I want to see my whole world sooner."
"???" Yan Xi was confused. "What do you mean by your whole world? What are you talking about?"
"You." Lou Jinchuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Yan Xi: "Me? What?"
"My whole world." Lou Jinchuan blinked innocently.
Yan Xi was stunned for a long time, then reacted and laughed out loud, "Oh, I understand, your mouth has become more and more sweet recently"
"Really? How come I didn't know? How about senior brother, help me try it?" After Lou Jinchuan said that, he lowered his head and kissed Yan Xi's lips.
Yan Xi: “…” So why do you use a question mark?
