Chapter 245 Showdown

"I didn't expect that I could have more sisters at this time.

The voice that sounded like talking to oneself echoed in the main hall of Cining Palace.

Hearing this, the expressions of several women present who were still smiling with relief suddenly changed.

Especially Lin Shiyin and Long Er.

The changes in their expressions were the most obvious.

However.

Lin Chen's face did not change at all, as if he had known Li Zhao's arrival for a long time.

"See Your Majesty."

Accompanied by his salute and greeting.

Wow!

The main hall door opened automatically without wind, and more than ten figures walked in quietly.

The most eye-catching one is naturally Li Zhao in the middle.

There was a playful look on the other party's face, but his eyes immediately fell on the newborn baby in Cai Wenji's arms.

Accompanying Li Zhao were Shangguan Wan'er and seven or eight old eunuchs.

Lin Chen looked at these old eunuchs, his eyes slightly condensed.

Good guy.

They are all masters in the early stage of innateness.

I think they are all those who have practiced the Sunflower Book.

"His Majesty?"

The true Queen Mother Cai Wenji had a complicated expression and murmured in a low voice.

After all, speaking of seniority, she is still the other person's queen mother.

But now in front of Li Zhao, Cai Wenji was very embarrassed and uneasy when she was caught having such an affair and got pregnant in full view of the public.

According to the laws of Li and Tang, it is a serious crime to destroy the nine tribes.

Although Cai Wenji's family had few heirs as early as the late emperor's period.

Apart from Cai Wenji, the master's family has no eldest son to succeed him.

He had no choice but to choose a collateral heir to inherit the main family, but he had no contact with Cai Wenji and had an estranged relationship.

The person present who was most shocked was Long Er.

She boasted that it was impossible to leak news during the Cining Palace period.

Then why does this dog emperor appear here?

Is it possible that there is a traitor among the maids of the Dragon Sect in Cining Palace?

None of this is known.

But what shocked Long Er even more.

Li Zhao just glanced at her and the other women in the hall, and then turned his attention to Lin Chen.

Emperor Li Tang said coldly: "Lin Qing, come out with me."

Lin Chen nodded calmly.

Cai Wenji hesitated to speak, but received a reassuring look from Lin Chen.

As an innate master, he had long noticed that there were many abnormal auras coming from Cining Palace.

The other party is also waiting.

Waiting for Cai Wenji to successfully give birth.

His majesty, the new emperor, really has a deep plan.

Even her mother-in-law was in Li Zhao's scheme.

Lin Chen vaguely guessed something.

That was the matter about the Shenlong Sect sneaking into the palace and replacing the real queen mother. Li Zhao should also know about it.

This matter has already begun to take shape.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the original sacrifice to the late emperor.

Obviously Lin Chen was just following a maid who was a close confidant of the Queen Mother to the Temple of Heaven, and then Li Zhao hurried over.

In name, he was greeting his mother and concubine, but in reality it was more like he was worried that something might happen to Lin Chen.

If Li Zhao didn't know about the fake queen mother and the Shenlong Sect, he would never have been so impatient.

After guessing this relationship, Lin Chen felt a little more at ease.

No matter how.

He is still useful to Li Zhao.

Furthermore, Li Zhao jumped out from behind the scenes so eagerly, presumably because he was in trouble.

Lin Chen didn't know what this so-called trouble was for the time being.

Follow Li Zhao to a side hall of Cining Palace.

Seeing no one around, Li Zhao stopped and turned around to look at Lin Chen carefully.

He asked quite puzzled and with a hint of disgust: "Why are you such a libertine so popular with women?"

Um?

Lin Chen was startled.

Li Zhao's first words made him almost stop.

How should he answer this?

Could it be that this kind of thing is done consensually, and in fact, he didn't do anything.

"Your Majesty, maybe it's because I'm handsome." Lin Chen said uncertainly.

When Li Zhao heard this, although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Lin Chen's words made some sense.

The royal bloodline of the previous dynasty has been optimized for so many generations.

It is reflected in Lin Chen, a remnant of the previous dynasty, that he has an appearance that can make a living out of his face.

End of banter.

Li Zhao's eyes turned slightly cold and he asked Lin Chen, "Do you know why I asked you to come over?"

"For the child born to the Queen Mother."

Lin Chen understood that this was not the time to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he immediately got straight to the point.

Hearing this, Li Zhao looked at Lin Chen with a strange smile in his eyes: "Wan'er said you are a smart person, but it is true."

This sentence.

Lin Chen's scalp felt slightly numb as he listened.

Because Li Zhao did not use the disguised male voice, but the cold and noble female voice.

It's the so-called showdown.

Li Zhao doesn't plan to pretend anymore.

What else could Lin Chen do?

I can only pretend not to hear, lower my head and say nothing.

"Look up."

Li Zhao gave a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

This is your order.

Lin Chen had no choice but to raise his head and look at Li Zhao, who was holding a jade pendant.

For some reason, Li Zhao's handsome and neutral face became charming and charming.

The phoenix eyebrows are like swords, and the facial features are perfectly matched together to form this person who looks like a fairy descending from the painting.

Although I had already seen Li Zhao’s true appearance that night.

Can peek quietly.

It's still not as shocking as the upright appreciation.

Lin Chen was slightly absent-minded.

Li Zhao couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart when he saw Lin Chen's look.

She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Li Zhao's thoughts on Lin Chen, the alternative chess piece, are very complicated.

He originally planned to throw it away after using it.

But he didn't expect that the chess piece would be a rare talent.

For the new emperor Li Zhao, such talents are really hard to find.

Moreover, Lin Chen's identity is special. Apart from serving Li Zhao to the death, there is no other way out.

Could it be that he would reveal his identity as the blood of the last emperor of the previous dynasty?

Li Zhao believed that even without the Li Tang royal family taking action, Lin Chen would most likely die.

The reason is very simple.

In the current Li Tang world, the vested interests are not only the Li royal family!

There are seven kings of different surnames in the world!

Put aside the lineage of Prince Duan Zhao Ji, who gave up his military power and fiefdom to retire in the capital.

From a certain perspective.

When the first emperor of Li Tang founded the country, these seven people cooperated to conquer the world.

Because the first emperor of Li Tang was the strongest, he just sat on this position.

In order to appease the other seven people, the former Emperor Li Tang chose to enfeoff kings of different surnames.

Although he certainly had the intention of reducing the power of the vassal states later.

But before the former emperor began to reduce the power of the vassal states, he passed away, leaving behind Li Zhao as the only bloodline.

What's more unfortunate is that.

Li Zhao is still a woman.

I'm getting off topic.

Speaking of these seven kings of different surnames, three of them were highly valued military governors of the previous dynasty.

They were also the first traitors to rebel.

For Lin Chen, a remnant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, these three families are all great enemies.

You must know that when the Li Tang Dynasty was founded, it was these three kings of different surnames who were the most diligent in hunting down the royal bloodline of the previous dynasty.

After all, betrayal is something that everyone knows is not a good thing to bear.

To get rid of this bad reputation, the best solution is to kill all the people of the royal family of the previous dynasty who can accuse them.
