Chapter 154 [Preparing for the Wedding]

A man cannot stand unless he is ruthless. This has always been the way in troubled times.

There was only chaos in the court, without any peace.

Since ancient times, no matter who it is, if he wants to gain a foothold in the court and secure his position, he must vigorously suppress his political enemies.

Now, Lin Ruofu, as a powerful prime minister, has different views on state affairs with Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

In this way, they will inevitably become enemies.

However, Yuan Hongdao never expected that Lin Ruofu would be so cruel and brutal that he would even abandon his own daughter.

However, it doesn't seem difficult to understand.

Lin Wan'er's life story is quite complicated.

What is certain is that she is a person who is not loved by her grandmother, uncle, mother, and father.

She contracted tuberculosis when she was young and was in danger time and time again, almost losing her life.

However, Lin Ruofu never visited her once.

No one was even sent to visit.

Now, it doesn’t seem surprising that he chose to sacrifice Lin Wan’er for the sake of the Lin family’s inheritance and his own position in the court.

"Prime Minister, one last question. We have to find a way to transfer all the experts around Li Chengqian away, so that we can have a chance."

Yuan Hongdao seemed to be a little overwhelmed, because this was the most difficult thing to do.

"A man like Li Chengqian, who is deep-minded and well-planned, will never put himself in danger easily." Lin Ruofu also had a headache.

"It's not easy to assassinate the prince in Kyoto..." Both of them couldn't help but sigh.

It’s really very difficult!

“Once successful, we can create a false image and put the blame on Dongyi City, Northern Qi, and the Second Prince.

Of course, we have to put the blame on the Lin family." Yuan Hongdao analyzed seriously.

"Involving the Lin family as well will actually clear them of suspicion."

Hearing this, Lin Ruofu nodded in agreement.

He still admired the meticulousness of this strategist with a mole at the corner of his mouth.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to keep it and reuse it over the years.

Afterwards, the two discussed the various details of the plan.

“This plan is very risky, but it has to be done.

It must be done without any mistakes, otherwise, the century-old foundation of the entire Lin Mansion will be destroyed."

The difficulty of assassinating the prince in Kyoto can be imagined.

Moreover, if he is not a truly crazy person or someone with extraordinary abilities, he would never plan like this.

Looking at all the civil and military officials in Kyoto, there were no more than three people who had the skills and courage to carry out Lin Ruofu's plan of "changing the crown prince".

The news that Li Chengqian is about to return to Beijing has spread in Kyoto.

In this battle between the North and the South, Li Chengqian prayed for rain from heaven and decided the outcome of the battle, and his reputation in the country finally reached its peak.

Nowadays, this prince is very popular.

Deeply loved by the people!

It can be said that he has now finally firmly established himself as the ruler of the Eastern Palace.

At this point, the second prince's competition could basically be declared a failure.

As long as he is alive, no one can shake the throne of the Eastern Palace.

Throughout Kyoto, every household and millions of people were immersed in a joyous atmosphere.

The whole city is covered with "囍" characters and hung with red lanterns.

East Palace.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Yunrui came to the East Palace today for Haitang Duoduo.

Now, with her head full of white hair, she looks quite fierce.

However, even so, the people in the East Palace still did not allow her to see Haitang Duoduo.

Before Li Chengqian left, he had ordered that no one was allowed to see Haitang Duoduo.

Looking at the people in the East Palace who were loyal to Li Chengqian and even dared to stop her, Li Yunrui couldn't help but smile.

In the end, she did not choose to force her way in, but nodded to these people with satisfaction.

After turning around and leaving the East Palace, Li Yunrui's expression suddenly turned cold. "Your Highness, those dog slaves actually dared to stop you."

Li Yunrui's personal maid was a little annoyed.

Li Yunrui glanced at her, and the maid tactfully stopped talking.

The maid also noticed that the eldest princess's mood had become somewhat worse since Kyoto began preparing for the wedding.

One day, the personal maid saw Li Yunrui practicing martial arts. His white hair was flying, his sharp claws were bewitching, and every move was deadly.

In the courtyard.

Haitang Duoduo sat on the stone bench bored, looked at the ants busy moving on the ground, and sighed softly.

She stretched out her finger and gently stroked the middle of the ants' formation.

The ants lost their scent for each other.

The originally neat formation suddenly became chaotic.

But after a while, they returned to normal and continued moving.

Looking at the red wedding decorations on the courtyard door and the colorful lights and decorations, she once again drew the ant's route in anger.

"Your Majesty, you have really screwed me over..."

What about the foolproof plan that was promised? What about the plan that was promised to capture Li Chengqian alive?

They are all kidding!
"How long will it take for him to arrive in Kyoto?"

There was no one in the yard, but she asked anyway.

And someone answered.

"Your Highness will have three days before he can enter the capital."

I only hear the voice but don't see the person.

This person is a master of light Kung Fu and hidden tracking, and knows how to hide his tracks very well.

Even with Haitang Duoduo's vision, it was difficult to find where he was hiding.

"Am I really getting married?"

Haitang Duoduo felt a little dully, as if everything was hazy and unreal.

The North-South peace talks have concluded and the two sides have reached an agreement.

The Holy Maiden of Northern Qi married the Crown Prince of Southern Qing, and from then on the two countries reconciled and there was no more war.

On the seventh day after the wedding, Li Chengqian escorted her back to the country to visit, and also escorted Sean back to Northern Qi.

However, the two captured cities do not have to be returned.

"What kind of sealing method is this..."

Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She has been trying to break the seal and restore her power.

However, it has never been successful.

She couldn't understand why Li Chengqian's methods were so mysterious and powerful. After so long, her skills still hadn't recovered at all.

"When you get married, do you have to enter the bridal chamber? Will it be painful?"

"I don't know how big that thing is..."

Haitang Duoduo formed a hole with the thumb and index finger of her left hand, inserted her right index finger into it, and then clamped it tightly, making it unable to move.

At this moment, she did not have the slightest aura of a saint.

In the royal villa, Ye Ling'er was practicing sword.

In fact, Ye Liuyun, the ancestor of the Ye family, originally practiced swordsmanship.

But later, after being beaten by Wuzhu, he realized that he was not suitable for sword practice, so he learned palm techniques.

As a descendant of the later generation, Ye Linger's most powerful skill is actually the Ye family swordsmanship. Her coffin-splitting skill is far from up to par.

Because this move requires extremely strong internal strength as a support point for explosive power.

"Ling'er, take a break and drink some water." Lin Wan'er stood on the attic, leaning elegantly on the railing, and shouted down.

"You have been practicing hard during this period in order to join the Human-Slaughtering Army."

Ye Ling'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, took the water handed to her by the maid, and began to drink it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to return to the capital. This time, I must join the Massacre Army!" she said firmly.
