Zhao Lin shuddered and was not fascinated by Li Weibai's beauty. Instead, he became extremely alert.
As the saying goes, if someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Li Weibai called me here in the middle of the night, and he looked like that. If I said there was no problem, no one would believe me.
Anyway, it's not that I'm lonely, empty, and cold, I need to warm myself up by generating electricity through friction.
Zhao Lin quickly bowed and said, "Student Zhao Lin greets Your Highness."
Li Weibai patted the person next to him and said, "Come and sit down."
Zhao Lin walked over confidently and sat on the stone bench next to Li Weibai. He looked at Li Weibai with admiration.
Li Weibai felt a murderous aura in his heart, but he managed to suppress it with great difficulty.
"Does it look good?" Li Weibai asked.
"Beautiful. Your Highness is the most beautiful woman I have ever met. She is like a fairy descending to earth, no one can compare to her." Zhao Lin said sincerely.
Li Weibai laughed and said, "You may not be very old, but you are quite good at deceiving girls. Miss Fu was deceived by you in this way, right?"
"Your Highness is wrong. I always tell the truth." Zhao Lin said righteously.
Li Weibai said: "People say that men's words are lies and can't be trusted."
"They can't believe it because they are lying, and I can believe it because I am telling the truth. Isn't Your Highness good-looking or pretty?" Zhao Lin said.
Li Weibai laughed: "You are so young and yet you are such a liar. I don't know how many girls will be harmed by you in the future."
Zhao Lin said modestly: "It's not that I would say it, it's that they have good vision."
Li Wei rolled her eyes at Zhao Lin and said, "You're quite modest."
Li Weibai sat up slightly and said, "Do you know that you are about to face a disaster?"
Zhao Lin's heart moved, and he smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you talking about the Flower and Stone Inspectorate?"
"That's right. Since you can ask this question, it seems that you have some understanding. But do you know that if you are not careful, you will not be able to come back alive?" Li Weibai said seriously.
Even on the way here, Zhao Lin was already guessing why Li Weibai asked him to come.
It’s definitely not for poetry, so there’s no need to be so anxious. Now Zhao Lin’s only value is that he is the Inspector of the Flower and Stone Project.
This is a good job!
Zhao Lin feigned ignorance: "Your Highness, don't scare me. I know there's danger, but if I can't come back alive, isn't that alarmist?"
Li Weibai looked at Zhao Lin carefully. Zhao Lin looked at her with clear eyes. Finally, he was sure that this was really a clear and stupid little scholar. Then he said, "If you want to inspect, it will inevitably affect the interests of the local people. They will find a way to deal with you. What method do you think they will use?"
Zhao Lin pondered, "The simple solution is to win me over and make me one of them. That would benefit both them and me, and we'd all benefit from the wealth. If I disagree, they'll frame me and disqualify me from continuing as an inspector. If that doesn't work, they'll transfer me. If that doesn't work, they'll have to go all out and get rid of me."
Although Li Weibai didn't know what "showing one's true intentions" meant, she could roughly guess what it meant and said, "You're right. If you were those people, which method would you choose?"
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "If I had to choose, it would naturally be the first one."
Li Wei asked, "Will you go along with them?"
Zhao Lin said frankly, "Yes."
"you……"
Li Weibai was stunned and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Seeing that Zhao Lin didn't seem to be joking, she said, "Are you going to go along with them?"
"That's right," Zhao Lin said. "As the saying goes, clear water holds no fish. If we want to get things done properly, we have to get among them, work with them, and let them relax their guard. Only then can we get to the bottom of things."
Li Weibai clapped his hands and said, "It's a saying that when water is too clear, there are no fish. But you have become tainted by them, how can you clear yourself? You know, ink is easy to wash out, but dirty water is hard to clean out."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "It's the clothes that are dirty, not me. At worst, I can just change clothes."
The more Li Weibai thought about it, the more amusing it seemed. She couldn't help but praise him, "It's hard to believe a sixteen-year-old boy like you, an orphan, would say these words. I wanted to give you some pointers, but now it seems unnecessary."
"No, it is very necessary." Zhao Lin said seriously: "Your Highness is talented and no less talented than men. If Your Highness is willing, I am willing to come and listen to Your Highness's guidance every night."
Li Weibai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
The maids around were dumbfounded. This Zhao was too bold to tease a maid.
Li Weibai suddenly stopped laughing and shouted, "Zhao Lin, how dare you tease this princess? Do you know what crime you are committing?"
Zhao Lin said innocently, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I really admire your knowledge, talent, and ability, so I want to learn from you. If you don't want to, forget it."
Li Weibai snorted, "Men are not good people, regardless of age. Now that I have said that, you can leave."
Zhao Lin quickly said, "Don't worry, I don't know how to deal with those people yet. Please give me some advice, Your Highness."
Li Weibai waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it when you come back alive. Get out."
Two female guards came over immediately and stared at Zhao Lin with murderous eyes.
Zhao Lin shouted, "Your Highness, do you mean that once I'm done with my mission, I can come and listen to your instructions every night?"
Li Weibai looked at Zhao Lin with amusement: "As long as you dare."
Zhao Lin was overjoyed and said, "Student, take your leave."
He happily followed the two female guards.
"Your Highness, how dare Zhao Lin tease you so boldly? Why don't you punish him?" a maid said boldly.
Li Weibai waved her hand and said, "No need, just treat it as a joke."
After a pause, Li Weibai said, "It's been a long time since I met a man with such courage. I hope he can return to the capital alive."
After leaving the mansion and getting on the carriage, the smile on Zhao Lin's face immediately disappeared and he fell into deep thought.
The reason he dared to tease Li Weibai was not because he was obsessed with sex, but because he was testing Li Weibai's purpose and bottom line.
It was obvious that the reason Li Weibai called him here was the same as that of Sun Xiaohui and Zhang Yongzhen, because they were attracted by his identity as an inspector.
"Sun Xiaohui and Zhang Yongzhen represent Prince Yu and the Crown Prince, respectively. They came to me for this identity and to win me over in preparation for their bid for the throne. Although I'm only a Juren (Juren) now, since Li Xingye values me, they naturally value me as well. But why did Li Weibai come to me? Is it just to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune?"
"She's a prostitute with all the money and influence she needs. There's no need for her to get involved in this sort of thing. She'd easily be impeached by the censors. Unless there's a more important reason for her to do so. But what is it?"
Zhao Lin was puzzled. When the carriage entered the Zhao Mansion and jolted a bit, he suddenly realized: "Could it be that she wants it too?"
