It was worth it that Zhao Lin gave so much silver during these two days on the boat.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, eunuch."
Zhao Lin directly handed over another silver note.
Eunuch Xu took a look at it and saw that it was worth 10,000 taels. He couldn't help but praise it: "Master Zhao is really generous. No wonder General Manager Zhu protects you so much."
Other people only gave him gifts of a few hundred or a few thousand taels, but Zhao Lin was really generous. In just two days, he gave him nearly 100,000 taels.
Who doesn't like someone like this?
Zhao Lin laughed and said, "Money is just a number, not as good as friends. I, Zhao Lin, don't like anything else but making friends. We can make money together, and happiness is better shared than happiness alone."
"Haha, Lord Zhao is right. It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Lord Zhao is our friend." Eunuch Xu smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face looked like chrysanthemums.
"Since you are so calm, it seems that everything has been arranged long ago. We have been worried about you for nothing." Eunuch Xu said.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "It's not that I arranged it well, but some people did things they shouldn't have done."
Eunuch Xu was curious, but wisely didn't ask.
Zhao Lin thought for a moment and said, "Since we are all friends, I will not hide it from Eunuch Xu. Concubine Rong will soon fall out of favor."
"oh?"
Eunuch Xu showed a look of surprise at just the right moment, but in fact, he was already filled with shock and fear.
Zhao Lin was far away in Jiujiang, so how did he know that Concubine Rong was about to fall out of favor?
He didn't even know it even though he was in the palace.
Zhao Lin said, "If Eunuch Xu is involved with Concubine Rong, he should immediately clean it up after returning to the palace. If he delays for a while, it will cause disaster."
Eunuch Xu quickly said, "Thank you for your reminder, my lord. I am just a servant and have nothing to do with the master."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "That's good."
Eunuch Xu fell into deep thought, and Zhao Lin stopped talking.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace.
Zhao Lin could no longer ride in the carriage, so he had to get off and stand there waiting.
Officials came in and out from time to time, and when they saw Zhao Lin standing there, they all pointed and talked.
Soon, Eunuch Xu came out again and led Zhao Lin in with the imperial edict.
"His Majesty is now with Concubine Rong, please be careful."
Eunuch Xu reminded in a low voice.
Zhao Lin nodded: "Thank you, eunuch."
Arriving at the Shuyu Palace where Concubine Rong was staying, Eunuch Xu said, "Please wait a moment, my lord."
Zhao Lin nodded, and Eunuch Xu went in to report, saying, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao has arrived."
"Let him get in." Cheng** said angrily.
Eunuch Xu came out and said, "Master Zhao, His Majesty lets you in."
"Thank you, eunuch." Zhao Lin said.
Eunuch Xu was naturally not qualified to accompany the emperor and could only wait outside.
Zhao Lin walked into the Shuyu Palace and saw Zhu Zhongyan standing beside Cheng ** and serving him.
Zhu Zhongyan took advantage of Cheng **'s inattention to wink at Zhao Lin. Zhao Lin remained calm and knelt before Cheng **, saying, "Your Majesty, I, Zhao Lin, pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."
Cheng ** sneered: "Sooner or later, I will be pissed off by you. I won't even live to be sixty, let alone ten thousand years old."
Zhao Lin said calmly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I did what I did for a reason."
"Reason? Come on, tell me your reason, let me hear it. What is the reason that makes you arrest Rong Fei's uncle?" Cheng ** said angrily.
Eunuch Xu sighed secretly.
Only Rong Fei's uncle was mentioned, not other Tongzhou officials. In other words, if Zhao Lin had not arrested Wu Zhonglin, Cheng ** would not have bothered to care about this matter at all. He would have arrested him. Could he have punished Zhao Lin because of some minor officials?
This is Zhao Lin’s holy favor.
But now, this holy favor seems to be of no use.
Zhao Lin glanced at Rong Fei in embarrassment and said, "I can only tell this reason to Your Majesty."
Rong Fei immediately cried out, "Your Majesty, Zhao Lin has gone too far. Not only did he arrest my uncle, he also insulted me."
Cheng ** was furious: "Zhao Lin, are you provoking me?"
Zhao Lin quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is the reason that cannot be heard by anyone else."
Cheng** picked up the cup next to him and threw it at Zhao Lin. Zhao Lin took the blow but still insisted, "It won't be too late to let the Queen know after His Majesty has heard it all."
Cheng** looked down at Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin looked him in the eye without fear.
The worst possible outcome would be a falling out, with Cheng** robbed and Daqi withdrawing.
Although it is difficult, Zhao Lin is not without confidence.
Cheng** took a deep breath and said, "Everyone get out."
"His Majesty……"
Rong Fei wanted to act coquettishly, but Cheng ** angrily said, "Get out."
Rong Fei could only leave feeling aggrieved.
Zhu Zhongyan closed the door and stood guard outside it personally, making it impossible for Rong Fei to eavesdrop.
When only Zhao Lin and Cheng** were left in the room, Cheng** said, "Can you tell me now?"
Zhao Lin said, "Your Majesty should know that I have a conflict with Zhao Chenhan, the prince of the Zhenbei Marquisate."
Cheng** hummed, and said, "I know. What does this have to do with Rong Fei's uncle?"
Zhao Lin said: "It has nothing to do with him, it has to do with Concubine Rong. These days, Concubine Rong has been saying bad things about me in front of Your Majesty, before I arrested her uncle."
Cheng ** thought for a moment and said, "She did say something about you. But she said that your sudden rise to a high position at such a young age is not only not a good thing, but will actually harm you. It wasn't a bad thing."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why does Concubine Rong, a concubine in the IE harem, suddenly talk about me? Has she ever mentioned me before?"
Cheng** thought about it carefully and shook his head, "No. Maybe I heard about your story and just chatted out of boredom."
"That's right." Zhao Lin said.
