wealthy lord

Chapter 556 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger

At this time, the little eunuch closed the palace door of the royal study, and the emperor said solemnly: "Master Du, you can come out now!"

Du Sheng then walked out along the small red door on one side.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have exposed yourself in advance!"

The emperor smiled bitterly: "I couldn't hold it back for a moment! However, in my opinion, Lin Yun doesn't have any bad intentions!"

"Hey, Your Majesty, you know people but don't know their hearts! This Lin Yun's scheming city is the most scheming I have ever seen! Even the Eight Wise Kings may not be his opponent!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Du, is it too serious?"

Du Sheng looked gloomy and analyzed: "The emperor just tested him, didn't Lin Yun admit it in the end? He was the mastermind behind the assassination of the fifth prince!"

The emperor nodded and said: "The Lin Qing family did this just to force Fulinan to reveal his flaws!"

"Having said that! But Lin Yun is simply lawless. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He even dares to assassinate the royal family! If the emperor does not take strict precautions, this child will become a big problem in the future!"

The emperor said displeased: "That's enough! Master Du, you have to remember that I keep you by my side just to make suggestions! I'm not asking you to make decisions for me! Otherwise... will you be the emperor, or will I be the emperor?"

Du Sheng was shocked into a cold sweat and knelt on the ground in horror.

"I don't dare! Your Majesty, forgive me, but I just said the wrong thing!"

The emperor looked at him condescendingly and said seriously: "Master Du, you must remember one thing! Lin Yun is the only person I recognize and want to be my friend! If he really has the intention to rebel, I will kill him immediately. ! I will never give him a chance to take action! But I don’t like to be controlled by others, do you understand me?”

"The old minister was wrong!"

With that said, Du Sheng knelt on the ground, bowed three times and kowtowed.

He also did not expect that Lin Yun would have such a high status in the emperor's heart.

But he also committed a taboo. There were some things that he was not qualified to participate in.

"Okay, get up and talk!"

Du Sheng stood up cautiously.

The emperor said: "Master Du, do you think that I just stopped Lin Yun from letting Fulin'an go?"

"The emperor is wise! In fact, the veteran thinks so too! If Fulin'an is charged with assassinating the fifth prince, although his official position can be reduced, it will be difficult to kill him! As long as Fulinan is given a chance to operate, he will definitely plot a rebellion. Then the world will be in chaos! Therefore, the best way is to stabilize him first, and wait for Lin Zhongtang's confidants to bring back the autographed letter from Fulin'an, then it will be time to really deal with Fulin'an!"

The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was critical just now. If he didn't say anything to stop it, with Lin Yun's tough attitude, the trouble would definitely reach an end and end in failure.

"Lord Du, please bow down! From now on, you will be my liaison with Lin Qing's family!"

"Old minister, I obey the order!"

Afterwards, Du Sheng bowed and kowtowed three times and left.

The emperor had no choice but to arrange for Du Sheng to be the middleman. He was the king of a country and could not discuss conspiracies and conspiracies with Lin Yun.

But dealing with the powerful officials under his command is still inseparable from conspiracy.

Therefore, Du Sheng is the best candidate.

Here, Lin Yun returned to the house and did not go to the palace to disturb Ye Wanqing's rest. Instead, he waited in the study for Du Sheng's return.

About half an hour later, Du Sheng finally pushed the door open and came in.

Lin Yun immediately greeted him warmly and said with a smile: "Mr. Du, you are back! What did the emperor say later?" The emperor guessed that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, which made Lin Yun restless. In addition, the emperor hit him with Oona, This made Lin Yun even more uncomfortable.

He also wanted to know the emperor's true attitude.

Du Sheng sat on the Grand Master's chair beside him and said with a smile: "Lin Zhongtang, don't worry too much! The Emperor has always treated you as a favorite and a friend! The reason why he didn't let you attack Fulin'an immediately was for the sake of the overall situation!"

When Lin Yun returned home, he also understood the serious relationship between them. He nodded and said, "I was indeed too impulsive about tonight's incident!"

Du Sheng looked up at him and said seriously: "Lin Zhongtang has to do two things now! One is to hide Cui Mingchong, and the other is to ensure that the confidants sent by the Lord can successfully bring back the secret message! Now it's time for us to This way, so just wait patiently!”

Lin Yun nodded: "Cui Mingchong is probably hiding in a corner and will definitely come to me before dawn!"

Du Sheng asked curiously: "Where does Lin Zhongtang plan to hide him?"

Although the capital is the safest place, for Cui Mingchong, it is already a dragon's den and a tiger's den. If he shows up, he will die.

Lin Yun said playfully: "Don't ask, Mr. Du! I won't tell anyone about this!"

Du Sheng finally came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Okay! Then I won't disturb Master Zhongtang and will leave now!"

He knew that Lin Yun probably wouldn't sleep tonight and would definitely have to wait for Cui Ming to come back.

After that, Lin Yun waited until the fourth watch.

Suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps at the study door.

Lin Yun suddenly opened the door and saw Cui Mingchong hiding behind a pillar warily.

"Come in!"

Cui Mingchong hurriedly followed him into the house, knelt on the ground and said: "Lin Zhongtang, I have seriously injured the fifth prince according to your order! You must not leave me alone!"

His eyes were full of panic.

Lin Yun looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Did Mr. Cui just want to kill the Fifth Prince directly?"

Although he hadn't seen the gunshot wound on the fifth prince's body, Lin Yun had a vague feeling that Cui Mingchong was not as obedient as he imagined.

Cui Mingchong said awkwardly: "I just went to Prince Guang's Mansion and overheard the conversation between the Fifth Prince and Na Xiang Chong. Not only did they want to use Lord Zhongtang's help to destroy Fulin'an, but they also wanted to do harm to Lord Zhongtang. So, next time There was indeed a moment when the official wanted to kill the fifth prince! But the official did not dare to disobey the Lord's order, so the fifth prince was only seriously injured, but his life was not in danger!"

Lin Yun then showed a satisfied smile, helped him up, and said, "What did the fifth prince say?"

Cui Mingchong said in a deep voice: "The fifth prince wants Lin Zhongtang to fight Fulin'an and Meng Yuan so that both sides will lose. In the end, he will benefit! Master Zhongtang, the fifth prince has a cruel intention. You must never trust him again in the future. !”

Lin Yun sneered: "That's all you said? Nothing more?"

"That's right! The fifth prince seems to look down on Lin Zhongtang deeply! But..."

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "But what?"

"Xiang Chong seems to be very sober next to the Fifth Prince! He has repeatedly reminded the Fifth Prince to be careful and not to underestimate Lin Zhongtang! But the Fifth Prince seems unwilling to listen to his persuasion!"

Lin Yun suddenly realized it and murmured: "It seems that Xiang Chong can't be kept here!"

Cui Mingchong looked at him suddenly, his heart trembling.

Feeling the murderous intent in Lin Yun's words made him shudder.
