Chen Tang also tried to eat the mountain, but he used all his strength, but Lin Su was still unhurried and didn't feel any effort at all.
"Madam is so awesome." Chen Tang didn't know what he felt inside.
Lin Su said modestly, "I am far inferior to my husband."
Chen Tang: “…”
You big liar, stop talking!
In the heat of the afternoon, Chen Tang sat eating shaved ice near the ice, calculating how much money he had earned from selling ice this hot summer. Just as the beauty was unconsciously opening her skirt, a man rushed in from outside, carrying a bow and arrow on his back. As soon as he came in, he shouted, "It's so hot, so hot! You shouldn't go out to work in this weather."
Chen Tang's train of thought was interrupted for a moment. Lin Su paused from tuning the strings and asked, "Brother Lu, could you please knock on the door next time you enter?"
"They are all men..." Lu Guo glanced at Chen Tang, who was sitting on the couch in only underwear. He felt his eyes were stung by the gorgeous look and quickly looked away.
When he first met the young master of the Shen family, he only thought that he was good-looking, but he was not as radiant and charming as he is now.
Brother Lin is really good at teaching people. No wonder he doesn't want to be seen by others. If this is his wife... he doesn't have a wife.
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm really tired after running for dozens of miles today. There won't be a next time, not a next time." Lu Guo apologized.
There was a lot of dirt on his white clothes, and sweat was dripping down, which showed that he was really tired. Lin Su was just reminding him, but he had no intention of blaming him. The fact that the Shen Mansion was so airtight was inseparable from Lu Guo's contribution.
"Brother Lu, please be careful." Lin Su stood up and the servant brought him water for him to wash.
Although Lu Guo was sometimes careless, he could see that the boy kept his head down while delivering water, and he didn't even glance at anything he shouldn't have.
Lu went to the cubicle, cleaned up briefly, and then reported on what happened today: "Just like you said, I only fired one arrow and left."
As they were talking, Chen Tang had already come out from the inner room. Unlike before when he was only wearing underwear, he was wearing outer clothes, and his long hair was casually tied to one side without any decoration. Yet, he had a romantic air, so Lu Guo could only lower his head and look at his toes, silently thinking that a friend's wife should not be bullied. He was not a homosexual and liked girls.
But among the girls, there is no one as beautiful as the young master of the Shen family. Brother Lin raised his standards, but did not assign him a wife.
"Where did you go today?" Chen Tang sat down aside.
"I asked him to chase Yun Hui's carriage." Lin Su did not hide anything from him about this matter.
"Huh? Why is this?" Chen Tang wondered.
Lu Guo was lowering his head at this moment, not daring to look at him, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum: "You should ask your husband about this."
Chen Tang stretched out his tone: "Husband?"
Lin Su felt that the probability of Lu Guo getting married in this life was infinitely close to zero, so he would step on any landmine he encountered.
"He made a slip of the tongue. It was Madam." Lin Su said with a smile, "I asked him to chase Yun Hui's carriage today because I was on guard against Xiao Huang chasing after him, in case their old relationship rekindled."
This world line is based on Yun Hui, and more favor is also on Yun Hui. Without Yun Hui's help, Xiao Huang has lost half of the favor of this world.
Chen Tang's attention was diverted, and he propped up his jaw and said, "No, it shouldn't happen. Zi Yu is not a soft-hearted person."
Even if he had a heart as hard as a rock, he was afraid of being entangled in repeated calculations, so Lin Su simply destroyed it completely.
"That Prince Chen was very cunning. He said he was going there alone and was not afraid of danger, but he ended up lying to Young Master Yun." Lu Guo couldn't help himself this time and recounted the details one by one. Except for the fact that his head had to be put under the table, his retelling was quite fluent.
Chen Tang didn't understand the reason at first, but after hearing what he said, he slammed the table and stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you just kill him?"
"If we kill him, Xiao Shao will be left alone to face the current emperor, and he may not have the courage to do so." Lin Su said.
Xiao Shao is a man who puts self-preservation first. Although he wants to speak up for the people, he will not rashly do anything that may endanger his life. If he ascends the throne, he will be more than capable of being a ruler who maintains the status quo, but he does not have the courage like Xiao Huang to rebel.
"That's right." Chen Tang had also seen Xiao Shao. Choosing such a person would make it easier to avoid disaster, but it also had certain disadvantages.
In the court struggles, Xiao Huang frequently targeted the Shen family. However, when Yun Hui left, he instructed the old general to protect the Shen family. In addition, the Shen family had recently frequently presented rare treasures to the emperor, which seemed to be a sign of return. The emperor disliked Xiao Huang for a long time and ignored many of his suggestions. With the help of Xiao Shao, Xiao Huang seemed to be very powerful, but in fact he was isolated.
If this continues, I am afraid that the power in his hands will be greatly weakened, and there will be no chance for him to compete for the throne.
"Aren't you afraid that he will do something desperate if you force him like this?" Lu Guo was in the underworld and knew that pushing someone to a dead end might not always end well.
"That leaves him a way out." Lin Su said with a smile, "Besides, I just want to make him desperate."
In the original world line, Xiao Huang had Yun Hui as his wife. The old general had a high reputation in the army. He eventually attacked the imperial city under the banner of clearing the court, forcing the current emperor to give up his throne to him. He died suddenly just three months after giving up the throne.
It was obvious who had done it, but at that time Xiao Huang's throne was very stable, and no one would say anything about the deposed emperor's death.
But now there is no Yun Hui to help, and some of the power in Xiao Huang's court has been cut down by Lin Su through the last fraud. As long as the remaining information is revealed to the current emperor, someone will naturally take action. If he wants to ascend to the throne, there is only one way left.
"Oh..." Lu Guo seemed to be thinking about something, but it was okay for him to answer some straightforward questions, but it was impossible for him to make plans. He could only deploy everything step by step according to Lin Su's instructions.
What Lin Su expected did not delay for long. In the golden month of September, the palace was lit up all night, and the sky was full of flames, causing countless people to get up at night, not knowing what was going on.
The Shen Mansion was peaceful and quiet. Chen Tang was sleeping soundly in Lin Su's arms. When he occasionally talked in his sleep, he would just hug him tighter.
Until dawn, the sound of palace bells rang throughout the capital, and everything was settled.
There was a knock on the door. Lin Su opened his eyes, pulled Chen Tang's arm away, got out of bed, opened the door and went out.
The attendant reported, "Master, the situation in the palace has been resolved. Prince Xiao Huang poisoned the emperor and intended to forge an imperial edict to ascend the throne. He has been surrounded and captured by the Imperial Guards. All the soldiers involved in the rebellion have been captured. Prince Ning Xiao Shao has received the late emperor's oral order to succeed him."
The specific situation in the palace is certainly more than just this simple verbal description, because every step of development may lead to a reversal of the results, but everything has finally been settled.
