Lin Xiao knew that Fu Lingtian had left in a huff, but there was nothing he could do. He turned to look at Long Qianyi.
"What brings the Third Prince here to me?"
Just as he was about to say something, Gao Chen walked in from the doorway.
Lin Xiao sighed, "The imperial city is quite lively today."
"Your Majesty, we've found out. The assassin was an inconspicuous figure. He died today, and the cause of death is unknown."
Gao Chen looked up at the emperor, who was deep in thought. Suddenly, he felt that the emperor was more sensible than before.
"Haven't you found out who it is? Oh well, it doesn't matter who it is. You have your reasons for not telling me."
After saying that, he ignored Gao Chen's expression and continued to say what he wanted to say: it might be a bit difficult for someone to survive in this ancient world.
But if someone helps him, things are different.
"Gao Chen, aren't the three of us good brothers who have grown up together?"
Lin Xiao composed himself, glanced at Gao Chen who hadn't spoken, and thought, "Is there any need to hesitate about something like this?"
"Gao Chen?"
"What are you thinking about? It's been so long. Does something like this really need to take so long to think about?"
"No, Your Majesty has misunderstood. You were only referring to the Third Prince?"
Gao Chen, however, had no ulterior motives. He glanced sideways at where Long Qianyi was, still sitting quite steadily, showing no sign of leaving.
"It's alright, continue. The Third Prince is no outsider."
"General Fu and His Majesty had a quarrel before, so I don't know how your friendship is progressing, but His Majesty and I will always be good brothers."
A hint of surprise flashed in Long Qianyi's eyes. He hadn't expected the person in front of him to be so naive. His eyes were completely devoid of any self-interest.
Then he laughed again.
“I understand what you mean, Lord Gao, but I also enjoy being friends with His Majesty, so you don’t need to treat me as an enemy.”
Lin Xiao scratched his head, and when he heard the Third Prince Long Qianyi's intentional or unintentional complaint, he knew that he was lamenting that his charm seemed to be a little too great.
But this isn't what he wanted to develop. That's how this world works. What can he do?
He put on a smug smile; since others had already paved the way, he might as well speak up directly.
"It seems a bit lively today, hehe, don't you guys think so? Relax, the Third Prince is right, we are all friends, why be so reserved?"
"Or are you afraid of me, afraid that I might accidentally kill you?"
"By the way, I want to participate in the border war." His unwavering gaze was fixed on the two dumbfounded men in front of him.
The young emperor frowned slightly, somewhat displeased with their reaction, as if there was something wrong with him going to war.
"Your Majesty, are you going to battle? No, no, Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, how can you go to the battlefield? These things can be done by the generals."
Gao Chen stopped Lin Xiao, who wanted to write a memorial, and gave a wink to Long Qianyi, who was waiting to watch the show.
Let him speak up for me too. I don't believe this guy doesn't have ulterior motives towards the Emperor. He clearly took a liking to him at first glance.
"Ah, yes, Lord Gao is right. I've heard that His Majesty is knowledgeable in military strategy and familiar with various battle formations. Why not just stay behind and oversee things?"
"If people from other countries heard this, wouldn't it make them laugh at the idea of the emperor personally taking to the field?"
Lin Xiao suppressed a laugh.
It turns out that Long Qianyi was someone who could be tricked, and we actually fell for his trick. In this way, even if other countries don't make things difficult for us, we'll be safe.
009, whom we haven't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared and complained.
[Host, they were just joking. Are you really taking it seriously? Be careful they don't stab you in the back...]
