Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11161: Chapter 11160: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

The emperor looked at King Han.

Based on his performance just now, Han Wang would have stood up for Lin Yi, but he didn’t.

” King Chu, I don’t think that’s appropriate. Lin Yi has done a great service for the inner court, so he’s naturally one of us.”  The emperor couldn’t help but say.

Everyone was surprised.

A look of disdain flashed across King Chu’s eyes. He retorted bluntly,” You can’t judge a book by its cover. No one can tell what intentions he has behind his actions. His Majesty is still too young.”

“..”

The emperor’s face flushed red, but he did not dare to retort.

Lin Yi smiled faintly,” It seems like King Chu is really a worm in my stomach. It’s only the first time I’ve seen him, but he’s able to see through my scheme.”

Lord Chu’s face darkened and he was about to curse.

You’re the freaking roundworm! Your whole family is full of roundworms!

“If that’s the case, why don’t we add some extra points to the bet? Not only will I not choose the rules you set, I’ll just wait until the end.”

Lord Chu’s eyes lit up.

He might look aggressive on the surface, looking like he was going to beat Lin Yi up like a traitor, but he knew that it was impossible.

If Lin Yi was really arrested today, it wouldn’t be Lin Yi himself that would be destroyed, but the reputation of the entire palace.

At his level, he knew very well that he had to be moderate in his actions. Once he went too far, he would definitely suffer.

After all, there was fate in the dark.

Now that Lin Yi took the bait, he was more than happy to do so.

“I haven’t finished speaking.”

“If you lose, you have to kowtow to the emperor in front of everyone!” Lin Yi said calmly.

Everyone was stunned.

“Why?” Lord Chu retorted subconsciously.

“For disrespecting the emperor?” Lin Yi said seriously.

The emperor’s eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Lin Yi with a much warmer gaze.

Loyalty! This was a true loyal subject!

For so many years, from the seven kings to the officials, almost all the meat-eaters in the court treated him like a puppet.

Especially among the important figures in the Imperial Court, there were only a handful who truly respected him as the Son of Heaven.

Marquis Wu Wudi was one of them, but unfortunately, he was already in prison.

Although the emperor had high hopes for Lin Yi and wanted to rope him in as a confidant, he couldn’t figure out Lin Yi’s attitude.

What if Lin Yi was like Chu Wang and the others, treating him like dirt?

Fortunately, it seemed like it was a two-way trip!

The emperor’s heart instantly relaxed.

This time, it was Lord Chu’s turn to be embarrassed.

He indeed looked down on the emperor from the bottom of his heart. He never hid it from others and never showed the courtesy of a subject to the emperor.

However, doing such a thing was one thing, and being pointed out in public was another.

This kind of thing could only be weighed two taels if it was not weighed. Once it was weighed, it could not even be weighed a thousand pounds.

The key was that Lord Chu’s rudeness was too obvious. He couldn’t even deny it in public. That was an insult to everyone’s intelligence, and his crime was even worse.

” Hmph!” Lord Chu snorted coldly.” Alright, I’ll wait and see how unlucky you are to be imprisoned!”

Lin Yi glanced at him and turned to the emperor, who gave him a grateful look.

When this scene fell into the eyes of the bystanders, many of them laughed in their hearts.

Lin Yi’s intentions naturally couldn’t escape their eyes.

It was common for outsiders who had no foundation to find a thigh to cling to when they first entered the Inner Court.

However, hugging onto the emperor’s thigh was a little funny in the eyes of those with discerning eyes.

After the Hundred Seedlings Plan, the emperor’s remaining strength would be further weakened. The King of Qin could make a move at any time and change the dynasty.

Under such circumstances, whoever was closer to the emperor would be more unlucky.

Little did he know that this was Lin Yi’s true intention.

Burning the cold stove, the emperor, was indeed a huge risk, but there were also huge benefits behind it.

Lin Yi looked at the ministers ‘reactions and didn’t comment, It seems that the story of using the emperor to command the princes isn’t deeply rooted here.”

In fact, the Inner Court was full of smart people and ambitious people. There were definitely more than one or two people who thought of this.

But in the end, no one dared to put it into practice.

There was no other reason. The temperature of this cold stove was really not easy to control. If he was not careful, he would attract fire.

Lin Yi was an exception.

With the Sinan Ring in his hand, he could see the future of the emperor and the seven princes at any time. Naturally, he could accurately grasp the heat. This was a unique advantage!

Lin Yi backed off to the side and let Shizu and the others choose first.

As expected, the rules that these people had chosen had long been decided internally.

The core rules that belonged to the seven kings were all prioritized.

King Chu said, provoking Lin Yi.

Lin Yi’s prediction of him being in big trouble wasn’t something he could deny, but deep down, he was still a little suspicious.

It was also because of this that he insisted on not letting Lin Yi choose first. He was afraid that Lin Yi would deliberately make things difficult and ruin his Chu royal family’s plans.

Now that the plan had been perfectly executed, he no longer had any worries.

Bad luck? Haha.

Lin Yi’s eyes were filled with pity.

From the beginning to the end, the Chu royal family had chosen seven core rules. The number was second only to the nine rules of King Qin’s residence.

In terms of overall operations, there was nothing to criticize. It could even be said to be a complete victory.

However, from the perspective of the Sinan Ring, the seven core rules that Lord Chu had chosen had a bleak future. To be precise, there was no future at all.

None of them could escape the cleansing of the rules by the gods!

Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel sorry for her even though he was her enemy.

On the other hand, although the core rules that the other seven kings had set up had also gone down the drain, none of them had been as black-faced as King Chu, who had been completely wiped out.

When the results came out, it was hard to imagine what the Chu royal residence would look like.

Lin Yi shook his head.

Even if the core rules were completely wiped out, the influence value would only drop from eighty-five to seventy-five, and not drop to the bottom. This was enough to show how deep the Chu royal residence’s foundation was.

“Hehe, isn’t it too late to shake your head now?”

Chu Wang didn’t even think that Lin Yi was expressing his pity. He thought that Lin Yi finally understood the situation and was feeling sorry for himself.

On the other side, Han Wang looked at Lin Yi with a complicated expression.

Lin Yi’s action of giving him the priority forced him to activate the plan.

Although it seemed like the core rules of the Han mansion had fallen into the hands of his own people, there was still a visible rift between him and Lin Yi.

A disobedient chess piece was not a good chess piece.
