Chapter 276 It was the Saint’s doing!
He had been hunted and on the run before, and he had long suspected that it was Prince Gong who did it. During this period, whenever he went out, he would go to Prince Gong's mansion to wait, and only go home at night when he needed to recharge.
His contribution is not small.
When he was in his teens, when he naturally loved to play, he had to pretend to be a mute and be careful not to expose himself at all times. There is no need to elaborate on the distress and torment he went through.
Of course, there is a bit of luck involved.
Zhou Qinan knew his appearance, but he didn't recognize him as the prince's son. Later, Zhou Qinan met Yan Xin. At that time, Yan Xin had reached a cooperation agreement with Prince Gong to pretend to be the prince's son. The two were afraid of being seen through, so how could they take the initiative to mention Yu Changheng?
Therefore, the downfall of Prince Gong and Yanxin was due to time and fate, and no one else could be blamed.
The evidence was sufficient and the ministers had nothing to say. Xiao Ya Niang immediately ordered people to arrest Prince Gong's family members and to punish them after thoroughly investigating their conspiracy.
This is what is said to the outside world. In fact, a man like Prince Gong will not be allowed to live until tomorrow.
The mute lady also said that she had asked her father, the emperor, to confer the title of Lin Shiqi as the prince's junior teacher and Zhou Lang as the prince's junior tutor. Although the mute lady was small, she had enough momentum. She took care of Prince Gong as soon as she appeared. Everyone was impressed and no one objected.
Lin Shiqi and the other man naturally obeyed the order. Xiao Ya Niang would have to live in the palace from now on, and it would not do without reliable people around her. What if one of Prince Gong's cronies risked his life to take revenge?
Fortunately, for several days, nothing that Lin Shiqi was worried about happened.
She also brought Mrs. Zhou and Old Man Zhou into the palace, which broadened the two elders' horizons.
They had always said they wanted to go back to Taohua Village, but they had been too busy recently and were worried, so they had never left. Now, the little mute girl had become the crown prince, and her son and daughter-in-law had become such high officials. It was like a dream.
Some are happy while others are sad. They are extremely happy, but the people in Prince He's Mansion are extremely embarrassed and caught in a dilemma.
The couple from the countryside actually became the Junior Tutor and Junior Imperial Tutor!
Who could have imagined this?
Prince He and his sons originally had a secret wish in their hearts that Tianxuan Pavilion would anger the court and be held accountable. In that case, Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang would have no foothold and might even be unable to continue to hold their positions. At that time, they might have to go to Prince He's Mansion for help.
He Zhang even secretly practiced in front of a bronze mirror in his room to figure out what attitude he should adopt in the most appropriate way when Zhou Lang and his wife came to him.
Don't say he is bored. He has nothing to do all day long. Although he is the son of a prince, he hasn't got a good job.
But they never expected that, before anything happened in Tianxuan Pavilion, they waited for the couple to move up a level and become the prince's assistants. The next step would be to be one of the three highest officials in the country!
Because it is obvious that after the prince ascends the throne, the Junior Tutor and Junior Preceptor will naturally become the Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor.
As for the He family, if another person comes along, they will lose even the honorary title of prince and will just become ordinary commoners. They may be a little richer than ordinary people, but no one will be willing to accept this.
What now?
Do you want to go to his house again and say good things?
The last time they went away, they ended up in a bad mood. What good results can they expect if they go again this time? And isn't this just putting your face forward and getting hit? Do they have no shame?
The father and his sons discussed for a long time, and finally made up their minds to go again.
There is no way. Face is not as important as benefits, and even less important than the future of the He family.
However, this time they couldn't even get through the door.
The imperial guard who delivered the message replied that the Junior Master and Junior Adviser were very busy these days and that they would give them a reply when they were free later.
Now that Lin Shiqi lives in the palace, you can't just enter casually.
Prince He and his son naturally did not dare to act rashly and had to go back in disgrace.
Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang were indeed very busy, busy with reorganizing the palace guards and people in charge of various miscellaneous matters. These people must be loyal to Xiao Ya Niang, otherwise they would be kicked out.
As for how to deal with the relationship with Prince He's Mansion, the two had a brief discussion and decided to maintain the status quo. If the He family included them in the family tree, they would not object, but they still recognized the Zhou family, calling Mrs. Zhou mother and Old Man Zhou father.
As for his children wanting to find good jobs, well, it all depends on their abilities, and they won't stop them.
Prince He would not be satisfied with this result, but he would not object.
If he's smart enough.
A few days later, the old emperor died as expected, and the little mute girl officially ascended the throne.
The dust has settled.
Next, we have to face the remaining big problem, which is the invasion of the Elephant Kingdom.
Although the saint's request seemed nonsensical, she was doing the right thing and others could not say anything.
Now that Xiao Ya Niang has become the emperor, she naturally will not force Zhou Lang to marry the saint, but this is not a solution.
Lin Shiqi then found the imperial teacher.
The National Master is a very mysterious person and he won’t meet people easily. But now that Lin Shiqi’s identity is different, he can naturally meet him whenever he wants.
The residence of the national teacher is a large hall, and there is only a large altar in the entire hall.
The entire altar is built with huge blue-black stones. Each brick is engraved with ancient runes. The base is in the shape of a nine-step ladder, symbolizing the nine levels of heaven. Each step is guarded by a relief of an animal head, with ferocious and angry eyes, as if intimidating the mortal world.
The top of the platform was as flat as a mirror, with a giant bronze tripod standing in the center. The body of the tripod was entwined with animal totems, and the dragon eyes on the top were inlaid with red jade, which flickered like blood pupils under the firelight.
This altar is not a place for praying, but a bridge for spiritual communication - using essence and blood as the medium and souls as sacrifice, one seeks abundant and unknowable power from heaven and earth.
These words were explained to Lin Shiqi by the veiled imperial teacher.
"So, the saint relied on this to travel to another world and found the so-called destined person. Is that what you mean?" Lin Shiqi asked.
The Imperial Master nodded, then shook his head.
"The word 'travel through time' is very descriptive. But my goal is to give her a chance to find a solution. As for whether this destined person is the solution, I can't be sure."
Lin Shiqi understood a little bit. It turned out that Bai Tangxin’s nonsensical request was not what the Imperial Master intended.
Then what she said before about Bai Tangxin abusing his power for personal gain might actually be true.
etc!
Bai Tangxin knew that Zhou Lang was the president, so she must have known that Zhou Lang was not from this world. But Zhou Lang happened to travel through time, and she was looking for him here specifically. Does this mean that Zhou Lang's travel through time is directly related to her?
In order to avoid misunderstanding, she specifically asked:
"National Master, when did the Saint return?"
As long as the timing matches, then Zhou Lang and her time travel must have been the work of the Saint!
