The best ring

Gu Lin was very hesitant.

On the one hand, Gu Lin felt that Zhao Xuan's idea was too crazy and too dangerous. If he was not careful, he would end up with his family being confiscated and his clan being exterminated.

But on the other hand, Gu Lin felt that Zhao Xuan's words made sense. At this point, there was no turning back. If they wanted to survive, they had to take extraordinary measures.

"Do this right away!" Zhao Xuan did not give Gu Lin any time to consider: "If you can't do it, I'll let someone else do it!"

Seeing the madness in Zhao Xuan's eyes, Gu Lin's heart beat violently.

Gu Lin knew very well that Zhao Xuan was already crazy at this time. If he refused Zhao Xuan's order, then Zhao Xuan would definitely change someone to execute it instead of giving up this crazy idea.

As for him, Zhao Xuan would never let him go. After all, this matter was not a trivial matter. Zhao Xuan would definitely not want this matter to be leaked in advance. If he refused Zhao Xuan's order, he would no longer be trusted by Zhao Xuan. And he happened to know about this matter. Zhao Xuan's behavior was almost obvious.

Thinking of this, Gu Lin said with a stiff face: "I will do it right away."

Zhao Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "This matter must be done quickly. We don't have much time. If the old man is really seriously ill, he may decide on the candidate for the crown prince at any time. We must speed up the action."

"I understand." Gu Lin nodded.

Since he has accepted this task, Gu Lin naturally does not want any accidents to happen. After replying to Zhao Xuan, he immediately turned around and left. Now, time is precious for them, and he can't waste a single bit. ŴŴŴ.biQuPai.coM

Looking at Gu Lin's back as he left, the madness in Zhao Xuan's eyes not only did not weaken a bit, but even became more thorough.

This is a road of no return, but for him, it is a road he has to take.

Life and death, fight here!

At this time, on the other side of the palace, the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom was lying on the bed with a weak face. His pale face was bloodless and he was drowsy, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious.

Standing beside the old emperor's bed was the eunuch who had stopped Zhao Xuan from entering the palace to visit the old emperor.

At the same time, he was also the "Eunuch Zhao" in Yuan Ding's mouth!

Eunuch Zhao stood expressionlessly beside the bed, looking at the old emperor on the bed, but his mind was complicated.

Over the years, this Eunuch Zhao was one of the few people around the old emperor who could always accompany the old emperor. The reason why he could do this was largely related to his flexible mind and loyalty to the old emperor.

Before, Eunuch Zhao had been working for the old emperor wholeheartedly. The princes such as Zhao Xuan had tried to bribe him or show him good will, but he refused them all. Because the longer he followed the old emperor, the more he understood the horror of the old emperor's methods. The old emperor could know clearly what happened to the old emperor, even if it was a trivial matter.

Eunuch Zhao had witnessed many eunuchs who thought they were smart, who could not stand the temptation of the outside world and wanted to become the old emperor's eyes. As a result, no matter how careful they were, the old emperor could know, and these people, without exception, died in the hands of the old emperor.

Only he! He always sticks to his heart, so he can save his life.

But now, this eunuch Zhao, who has always been sticking to his heart and being cautious, has a different mind.

And the cause of this is the increasingly serious illness of the old emperor lying in bed.

As one of the few people who can contact the old emperor and understand the old emperor's true situation, Eunuch Zhao knows the changes in the old emperor's body best. He knows that the old emperor took the initiative to withdraw before, which was a play, and wanted to take the opportunity to examine several princes, but now, the old emperor's condition has really worsened, and it is more serious than ever before.

In the eyes of Eunuch Zhao, the old emperor will not live long!

Therefore, he needs to plan for his future.

He is a eunuch, and he does not have much ability. His glory and status can only come from the trust and reward of his master. Therefore, choosing a good master, a correct master, is very important. This is not only related to his status, but also to his life.

After realizing that the old emperor will not live long, Eunuch Zhao moved his mind.

Now there are several princes in Yanfeng Country, and these princes have their own characteristics. Eunuch Zhao must choose one from these princes and build a good relationship in advance. Only in this way can he get the rewards he wants in the future.

Of course, the premise is that the prince he chooses can sit on the throne in the future.

After some consideration, Eunuch Zhao chose the third prince.

Although many people were not optimistic about the third prince, Eunuch Zhao thought that the third prince was good. More importantly, the chief strategist of the third prince was his fellow countryman. In this era, the friendship between fellow countrymen is very strong, and it is not worse than the relationship between teachers and students. With this relationship with Yuan Ding, he will be able to gain more trust from the third prince in the future.

Therefore, choosing the third prince is the best choice for him.

"Your Majesty, don't blame me. I also have to consider my future." Eunuch Zhao looked at the old emperor on the bed and thought silently in his heart.

On the other side, in the distant Tianji Kingdom, Wu Fan went out for a while and returned to the mansion where Zhao Qi lived temporarily. After that, he did not leave again, but stayed in the mansion to accompany Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi was naturally very happy about this. It was not until nightfall that she said goodbye to Wu Fan and sent Wu Fan away.

Before Wu Fan left, he took a meaningful look at the mansion, and then teleported back to reality.

After Wu Fan left, Zhao Qi lost interest in chatting. He ate something under Xiaoqing's service, and then went back to his room to rest.

At this time, there were still a lot of troops stationed outside the mansion. They were all sent by Jin Zheyun to protect Zhao Qi. Even when night fell and everything seemed normal around them, they did not take it lightly.

However, just as the sky was getting darker and darker, the sound of fighting came from not far from Zhao Qi's temporary mansion. The army stationed outside Zhao Qi's temporary mansion had been highly vigilant. Therefore, they heard the movement not long after the fighting sound appeared.

However, these people did not leave their positions, but just increased their vigilance. Their mission was to protect Zhao Qi's safety. As for other things, they were not within their scope of responsibility.

However, not long after the sound of fighting appeared, a man who looked like a eunuch suddenly stumbled towards them.

Everyone immediately became more alert.
