"Your Excellency, I have long heard of your great name. You are known for your integrity, virtue, and handsome appearance. You are skilled in both literature and martial arts, capable of writing books, knowledgeable in military affairs, and compassionate towards the people, striving for reform..."
Those delicate lips are truly deceiving.
If Li Lin hadn't been so clear-headed, he might have actually been captivated by Diao Chan, just like Dong Zhuo was.
"Oh, not at all. Those are just worldly fame and petty profits. How could I possibly be as divine as you describe?"
"Oh, Your Excellency is too modest. I have long admired Your Excellency, and upon meeting you today, I am completely captivated. I wonder what Your Excellency thinks? Do you welcome me?"
She was all smiles, yet she possessed a certain air of worldliness, and her speech had the charm of a courtesan.
If Hu Hai were not opposite him at this moment.
He actually believed he had entered a brothel and had chosen a top courtesan.
This Hu Hai.
I never expected my standards to be so low. The girl in front of me isn't ugly, but what's with this vixen-like aura?
It's probably the kind of thing you can play around with, but you can't get emotionally involved in.
"Grand Tutor, since Linglong is so devoted to you, would you do me the honor?"
Hu Hai was a man of hidden malice behind a smile.
At this moment, Li Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly calmed down.
Hu Hai's sudden gift of a beautiful woman to me was definitely not because I was "lustful." The woman before me was most likely his spy. If I accepted her, my every move would be under Hu Hai's watchful eye.
Moreover, Gao Shu's group has already thoroughly investigated the Prime Minister's residence, inside and out.
They kept watch day and night.
However, their surveillance could only extend to the outer courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence. As for the inner courtyard, they dared not do so, given that Man Yin was present.
She is a princess.
Even if they were incredibly stubborn, they wouldn't stoop so low as to pry into the princess's privacy.
Therefore, they lack a legitimate mole within the inner circle.
And Linglong in front of me seems to be playing this role.
Thinking of this, Li Lin shook his head and then burst into laughter.
"Grand Tutor? Why are you laughing? What does this mean?"
"Hahaha, young master, I am very satisfied, but you don't know this, I am afraid of my wife!"
After Li Lin finished speaking, his face immediately turned red.
Hu Hai immediately understood.
"I see. That makes sense. My elder sister has a rather bad temper. I've heard that since you married her, Grand Tutor, you haven't taken many concubines. So that's the reason."
"Young master, I'm afraid I'm powerless to help you in this matter. Miss Linglong is so beautiful, how could I, a mere mortal, not be tempted?"
"Your Excellency is too kind. Since there is a shrew in your household causing trouble, it seems that I am destined to be apart from Your Excellency!"
Linglong acted coyly, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful.
"Grand Tutor, since the Imperial Sister is too fierce for you to handle personally, how about I bestow Linglong upon you in my name? If the Imperial Sister is dissatisfied, I will take charge of the matter."
Hu Hai suddenly came up with this compromise.
But I didn't expect him to do that.
This was exactly what Li wanted.
What does "getting something for free" mean?
This is what it means to get something for free.
Even if you, Hu Hai, are so great that you force yourself into the Prime Minister's residence, who can guarantee that Manyin won't kick her out?
As long as someone gives the instruction.
A Qin Dynasty version of the Lioness of Hedong's Roar is not out of the question.
"Excellent, wonderful! Young master, you have treated me well. I am willing to serve you like a dog!"
"Oh dear, why do you do this, Grand Tutor? You are my teacher, how can I allow you to kneel before me? I appreciate your kindness, and we, teacher and student, will support each other. In the future, when I ascend the throne, Grand Tutor will surely reward you handsomely!"
"Thank you very much, young master. I will certainly do my utmost to serve you until my dying breath!"
Li Lin immediately adopted a fawning demeanor, which made Hu Hai extremely happy.
at this time.
Gao Shu was still in the palace, lying on his bed, constantly emitting painful cries. Several bones and joints on his body showed signs of fracture.
People get old.
The bones are very fragile.
Li Lin's beating wasn't random; he specifically targeted his joints, striking hard.
The pain was so intense that he almost died.
Fortunately, the imperial physicians in the palace were highly skilled and miraculously brought him back from the brink of death.
"That brat is outrageous! How could he beat an old man like that!"
The First Emperor came to comfort his old friend.
Seeing him in such pain, I was instantly enraged.
"Your Majesty... Oh... It hurts so much! You have no idea, that boy is such an unreasonable brute..."
"Sigh, you're no better. I was originally planning to punish him, but you went too far first, overstepping your bounds to monitor him, and even after being warned by him, you continued to overstep your bounds. If it were me, I would have wiped out your entire clan long ago!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, you already know?"
"Hmph, what? You think I know nothing? Hahaha, actually I know everything, I just haven't shown it. You, an old geezer, why are you getting involved in the struggle between these two children? Do you really think I don't know about Hu Hai's little scandals?"
