Chapter 292 King Lin Dies
Zhao Jinghua raised his lips in an ambiguous smile. At this moment, Eunuch Wang rushed in and said, "Godfather! His Majesty wants you to come to the palace!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai hurried back to Eunuch Chen's spiritual sea. Eunuch Chen asked slowly, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Eunuch Wang cried out in an extremely anxious tone, "Prince Lin is dead!"
When these words came out, everyone except Zhao Jinghua was stunned. "How did he die?"
Eunuch Wang shook his head breathlessly, "I don't know. He died suddenly in Beishan. His Majesty asked me to ask him what kind of formation the Imperial Master had set up in Beishan."
When Wan Sutong heard this, she was shocked and asked Eunuch Wang hurriedly, "But it's the North Mountain outside the city!"
Seeing Eunuch Wang nod, Wan Sutong felt her legs go weak, and when she was about to fall backwards, she was held firmly by Zhao Jinghua. Wan Sutong looked up at Zhao Jinghua, and asked in her heart, "Could it be... that he entered the life and death formation? Would a first-rank prince go to steal spices from me?"
Gu Zong understood the intention of Zhao Jinghua's words when he heard Eunuch Wang's question. "Eunuch Wang knows that I have always liked to cultivate myself, and the formations I learned are mainly for protecting the people. Recently, some people died suddenly in Beishan for no reason, and some people walked as if they were possessed even when the bandits on the mountain tried to stop them. How could I have made such a formation that harms the people?" At this point, Gu Zong added, "When I meet His Majesty, I will act uprightly."
After hearing this, Wan Sutong covered her mouth and said in disbelief, "This kind of thing actually happened in Beishan! How come I didn't know about it!"
Eunuch Wang looked up at Wan Sutong and sighed, "You are in the backyard, so you don't know. I advise the Regent Princess to go out and hide." After that, he looked at Eunuch Chen and Gu Zong, "Godfather, Master Imperial Master, follow me to see His Majesty."
After the three people left, Wan Sutong was still in a trance for a long time. She frowned and leaned into Zhao Jinghua's arms, saying "Oh, what bad luck! What does it have to do with me?"
Feng Ming sighed and made a plan in his mind, "You bought this mountain and it caused trouble."
Zhao Jinghua patted Wan Sutong on the shoulder and said to her, "Madam, don't be afraid."
Wan Sutong looked up at Zhao Jinghua and slapped him on the chest. "You are trying to trick me! Just kill King Lin! Why drag me into this? Should we share the same hardship?"
Feng Ming finally let go of his worries after hearing this, and then he sneered.
Zhao Jinghua raised his hand with a smile and held Wan Sutong in his arms. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Madam, don't be angry. Blame your husband for not explaining it clearly to you. Don't worry. Everything is under control. With your husband here, you will not be hurt even a little bit."
Zhao Jinghua's breath sprayed on Wan Sutong's neck, which was hot and itchy, causing Wan Sutong to have an inexplicable feeling in her heart. After a moment of silence, Wan Sutong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trust you for now. Tell me, how can I cooperate with you? I don't have to go to jail, right?"
As soon as Feng Ming said this, he immediately wanted to tease Wan Sutong, "If that's the case, I'll disguise myself and go in my sister's place." Just when Wan Sutong was about to cry with emotion, Feng Ming hesitated and said, "If I have to get hurt, forget it."
Upon hearing this, Wan Sutong covered her chest and pretended to spit blood. "Puff...Brother, your words are really hurtful. What do you mean you won't go if you get hurt?"
After saying this, Zhao Jinghua sneered and whispered a few words in Wan Sutong's ear. Wan Sutong's expression suddenly became serious. When he turned around and looked at Zhao Jinghua, his eyes changed unpredictably, as if he felt strange, or as if he had known that he was this kind of person for a long time.
Just when Feng Ming was confused, 0533 said, "You really don't care about anyone except me, the host. Chu Wan is such a pitiful child."
Zhao Jinghua shook his head with indifference towards life and death in his eyes. "Zhao Jinyao was destined to have this disaster. Death in the suburban Beishan is his fate. It's also my fault. I didn't expect that Madam would suddenly buy the title deed of Beishan. Seeing that things had come to this, I didn't tell Madam. When I was thinking about how to resolve this situation, Zhao Jin sent Chu Wan to me."
Feng Ming chuckled after hearing this, and Wan Sutong kept clicking his tongue beside him, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this is really like sending a pillow when you are sleepy, and sending the person you have been looking for with a lantern to nowhere to find." After saying this, he smiled at Zhao Jinghua and said, "Do you need my help with anything?"
After hearing this, Zhao Jinghua's eyebrows gradually showed a smile, and he whispered in Wan Sutong's ear, "No need, Madam, you only need to accompany me to the prince's birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, and I will take care of the rest."
At the same time, Eunuch Chen and Gu Zong were sitting in the same carriage, whispering to each other, "This Zhao Jinyao is really stupid. He really went to Beishan. Now he has gone and never returned."
Gu Zong curled his lips after hearing the voice transmission and said, "Who said it wasn't true? I never thought he was so stupid before."
Eunuch Chen nodded and continued to send a message to Gu Zong, "When we get to Zhao Jin's place, you must cooperate with me and don't ruin my father's plan."
Gu Zong nodded helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid and I will definitely say what you say, but does he want to kill Zhao Jinfang?"
The corners of Eunuch Chen's mouth twitched uncontrollably. "Are you stupid? I think you and Zhao Jinyao are about the same."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Zong's eyes widened in anger. "Hey! Chen Ye, you can kill people by talking so nicely! I was just asking your great-grandmaster a question, why do you have to say this to me?"
Eunuch Chen said lazily, "Don't use your seniority to pressure me. You are only fifteen years older than me."
Gu Zong pursed his lips tightly, fearing that he would not be able to hold back his mouth and speak. He could only stare with wide eyes and use telepathy to argue with Eunuch Chen, "Fifteen years is not enough!"
Eunuch Chen shrugged helplessly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that my father was your nephew and now your apprentice, I would at most call you uncle, which is a grandfather-level term." At this point, Eunuch Chen waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, I won't make trouble with you anymore. My father wants to choose a suitable crown prince. When the crown prince's foundation is completely stable, he will think about how to ascend the throne himself. We don't need to do anything."
Gu Zong fell silent after hearing this. After a long while, he nodded and said nothing more.
Soon the carriage stopped outside the palace gate. After the carriage stopped, Eunuch Wang cleared his throat and said, "Master Imperial Master, godfather, we're here." Gu Zong and Eunuch Chen did not answer but rolled their eyes at each other and got off the carriage one on the left and one on the right.
The three of them walked into the palace and quickly headed for the Taiming Palace. When they arrived in front of the Taiming Palace, Eunuch Wang knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, the chief steward and the state teacher are here."
Zhao Jinfang's slightly anxious voice soon came from the room, "Let them both in!"
Eunuch Wang shrugged and pushed open the door. Eunuch Chen walked into the palace first with a slight smile on his face. However, he didn't expect a stench to rush into his nose the next moment. Eunuch Chen lowered his head and glanced around. Then he saw Zhao Jinyao lying straight on the ground not far away. The stench came from him.
Seeing this, Gu Zong walked into the house with his head held high. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." He then looked at Zhao Jinyao who was lying not far away and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Lin has been dead for some time, and he stinks."
Who knew that as soon as the words fell, Zhao Jinfang spoke fiercely like a blast from a flaming bomb.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it! When Zhao Jinyao died, he didn't even choose a good place! The people on the North Mountain were fertilizing the trees! When he died, he was lying on that pile of cow dung! Now the whole capital is full of rumors that the dignified first-rank prince was suffocated to death by cow dung!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing. When he came to his senses, he quickly coughed to make up for it, "Cough... cough cough, Your Majesty, don't worry, leave this matter to me, this rumor will disappear completely tomorrow."
