For these two time travelers from modern society, discussing mutually beneficial terms was not a difficult task; on the contrary, it seemed exceptionally easy and natural.
Prime Minister Xiao took the initiative to ask, "Besides helping your husband ascend the throne, is there anything else you need my help with?"
Lin Yajun nodded slightly and said, "Yes, don't you have the ability to travel through time? I would like to ask you to do something for me..." Her voice grew softer and softer.
Prime Minister Xiao listened carefully to what Lin Yajun was about to say.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Xiao showed a look of surprise on his face.
He muttered with sudden realization, "So that's how it is! My little fellow villager was actually murdered by your own sister and boyfriend, who traveled to this era to steal your wealth. How heartbreaking! But don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and make them suffer the consequences they deserve, they'll all die a horrible death!"
After listening to Prime Minister Xiao's words, Lin Yajun looked at him and said, "Then I'll leave it to you! I hope we can cooperate happily!"
Prime Minister Xiao smiled and nodded, thinking that this cooperation would not only help Lin Yajun achieve her wish, but might also bring him some unexpected benefits.
“This is too easy for me,” Prime Minister Xiao laughed. “Normally, when I travel between ancient and modern times, it’s just to come back to the present to eat hot pot and barbecue. Every time I finish eating, I skip out on the bill because I have no money to pay.”
"This favor for my fellow villager was so easy. Just wait for my good news!"
Prime Minister Xiao believed that compared to living a difficult life in ancient times, doing things in modern times was much easier and simpler.
He had a very tiring two years since he transmigrated here, but now that he can cooperate with Lin Yajun, who also transmigrated here and has a space, he will be able to live an easy and prosperous life in the future.
Suddenly, the scene before he transmigrated flashed into Prime Minister Xiao's mind. At that time, his name was Xiao Yuan, and he was just an ordinary food delivery worker.
On the day he traveled through time, he was delivering food on his electric scooter as usual. His phone was displaying order information, and he was looking at his phone while riding, completely unaware of the road conditions ahead.
Just then, a speeding car suddenly appeared in his field of vision. Because of the car's high speed, Xiao Yuan had no time to react. Everything went black, and his body felt as if it had been struck by a tremendous force, sending him flying through the air. He arced through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
The moment his body hit the ground, he heard the sound of bones breaking and felt excruciating pain. He tried to struggle to his feet, but found his body completely out of his control. His consciousness gradually faded, and finally, everything went black, and he knew nothing more.
When Xiao Yuan regained consciousness, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.
He lay on a magnificent bed, surrounded by antique decorations and furnishings. He stared at it all in horror, completely bewildered as to what was happening to him.
After a while, he slowly realized that he seemed to have traveled to ancient times. Moreover, he had actually become a prime minister! This sudden change surprised and delighted him, but at the same time, he felt a deep fear and unease.
Despite being filled with a variety of complex emotions, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to accept the fact and begin to live as the prime minister.
Over the past two years, Xiao Yuan has experienced many things while holding the title of Prime Minister, but no matter what, he has been trying to adapt to this new world and gradually get used to his new identity.
Many times, when Prime Minister Xiao was handling court affairs, his seemingly ignorant flaws always filled him with fear, making him want to abscond with his wealth and flee the place.
Whenever he thought about how this vast world belonged to the king, where could he possibly escape to? So he could only grit his teeth and force himself to continue playing this role.
Finally, he got the perfect opportunity. After learning that Lin Yajun was also a time traveler, he mustered up his courage and confessed his identity to her.
To his surprise, Lin Yajun was not surprised by his secret of becoming the prime minister, but instead expressed understanding for his situation and reached a cooperation agreement with him.
Prime Minister Xiao will do everything in his power to assist Lin Yajun's husband in ascending the throne, and will also help Lin Yajun become Empress. In return, Lin Yajun will help Prime Minister Xiao obtain a title and a fiefdom.
Xiao Yuanhun transmigrated into the body of the Prime Minister, and was no longer young.
He was tired of getting up early and going to bed late every day, busy with court affairs, and was no longer willing to worry about arranging the future of the prime minister's children.
He muttered to himself, "All I desire is to live a wealthy and peaceful life, marry a young and beautiful lady, have a few children and watch them grow up. I want to live for myself in this strange world, not for Prime Minister Xiao."
A raging fire seemed to burn in Prime Minister Xiao's heart, filling him with endless hope and anticipation for the future.
He looked at Lin Yajun with unwavering eyes and said softly, "You all stay here and remain calm. Do not leave this place even for a moment. When the time is right, I will lead all the civil and military officials to welcome the new emperor into the palace and celebrate this grand occasion together!"
Lin Yajun nodded slightly in agreement and replied softly, "Yes, we'll wait here for the Prime Minister's good news." Although her voice was gentle, it revealed a sense of composure and confidence.
Prime Minister Xiao turned to face Zhao Canchen, bowed deeply with utmost respect, and then strode towards the back door of the Lin residence without hesitation. His steps were brisk and swift, completely incongruous with his obese physique.
Zhao Canchen stood there, watching Prime Minister Xiao's figure gradually disappear into the distance, but his heart remained unsettled.
He frowned, his face filled with worry, and asked Lin Yajun, "Madam, are we really going to follow his arrangements completely? Just sit here and wait for news?"
Lin Daoyan also looked uneasy and asked, "Daughter, what if something unexpected happens?"
Lin Yajun smiled slightly and comforted him, "Father, husband, there is no need to worry too much. If Zhao Yu dares to send people to harm us, he will surely suffer the consequences and die without a burial place."
She didn't tell her father or husband anything. She had already sent several crow drones into the palace, firstly to monitor the new emperor's actions, and secondly, so that if the new emperor raised an army to kill her husband Zhao Canchen, she would definitely kill Zhao Yu.
Hearing the strong confidence in Lin Yajun's words calmed Zhao Canchen and Lin Daoyan down a bit.
So the three of them sat down together in the hall and quietly waited for news to arrive.
Time ticked by, and the atmosphere inside the hall grew unusually heavy. Only the occasional sound of an assassin sneaking into the courtyard broke the suffocating silence.
Every now and then, Lin Yajun would swiftly fire poisoned needles at a fleeting figure, and the poisoned person would immediately fall to the ground.
At times, Lin Daoyan would leap out with his sword, killing the approaching assassins one by one with a single stroke.
However, as time went by, more and more assassins flocked to the main hall of the Lin residence.
