I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 120

A question made the current atmosphere very awkward.

Director Ning suddenly smiled and said, "Good question, this is the most important question."

Immediately, Director Ning pointed in the direction of Banyue Gate and said, "This is the East Palace where the former prince once lived."

First Prince, East Palace.

Being said so openly, everyone was terrified all of a sudden.

The person who asked the question wanted to bury himself on the spot.

"A place full of sins." Director Ning sneered and said slowly: "This is not what the slaves said, it was calculated by Qin Tian's monitoring, so after the accident of the former prince, all the palace people who lived here were given to death Inside, there are a total of 120 people. There are more souls who died because of the former prince than any other cold palace in the palace. For everyone's safety, it is better not to break in here, so as not to be entangled in resentment, resentful spirits Disturbance, it will be fatal at that time."

Fear appeared on everyone's faces, and they stepped back a few steps, wishing to stay away from the terrifying half-moon gate.

Everyone knows that strange powers and chaos are not scary. The scary thing is that this place has probably become a forbidden place in the hearts of everyone in the palace. It’s not that you will be charged with any crimes if you enter here, but that once you enter and exit here, you will be crowned with a name related to Yuan Ran. Head, this is more terrible than any substantive charges, after that, what is waiting is death at an unknown time.

Many people here have an incomprehensible level of fear and disgust towards Yuan Ran, as if they have been brainwashed, hiding from Yuan Ran is like hiding from the plague.

Lin Qingyang's face was equally ugly, but his mentality was completely opposite. He was so angry that his hands and feet felt cold, he clenched his teeth and fisted.It was obviously this group of people who angered the palace servants in the palace after Yuan Ran's accident. The souls of 120 people were obviously killed by them, but they were pinned on the head of the male lead.It's just outrageous!

Suddenly someone touched his hand, and Lin Qingyang was startled. He felt a slender hand go around his wrist, pass through his palm, spread his palm, and interlock his fingers, as if to soothe his emotions.

Lin Qingyang looked over in a daze, and in front of him was Chu Lishu's soothing eyes.

That's right, he once lied to Chu Lishu that he worshiped Yuan Ran, and now that he was so angry, it was only natural that Chu Lishu stepped forward to comfort him.

Instead, the victim took the initiative to comfort others. Lin Qingyang really had nothing to say. I thought that Chu Lishu would be the one with the most psychological ups and downs when entering the palace. After all, there is indeed a description of this passage in the original text. But now Lin Qingyang couldn't see that Chu Lishu had any big reaction, and it turned out that he, a spectator, couldn't help it.

Lin Qingyang was a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but grasp Chu Lishu's hand tightly, deluding himself that he was giving Chu Lishu strength and comforting him.In the end, my hand hurt from grabbing it, so I quickly moved my fingers to let Chu Lishu let go.

Chu Lishu loosened his grip, but he didn't let go completely. Instead, he kept holding on vaguely. The loose robes covered their hands, but it felt like their cousins ​​were standing close.

Just maintaining such a hand-in-hand posture, they walked around the entire palace unknowingly.

When it was time to disband, Lin Qingyang realized that the two of them had loosened their hands at some point, and it was strange that they didn't feel embarrassed along the way. Maybe their mood was affected by everything three years ago.

"Let's go, let's go to Chuuxue Palace." Xu Wenze greeted them. Xu Wenze often enters the palace, so he is more familiar with the layout of the palace than they are, so he can quickly find a shortcut to Chuuxue Palace.

Concubine Mei sold herself miserably in front of the emperor because of the incident of the fourth prince last time, and she was favored by the emperor for a period of time. Now she has been promoted to Concubine Mei. The principle of relying on favor and being proud, always acting according to the rules, makes people unable to grasp the fault, even the Queen Mother is very satisfied with her now.

The three of them went in and listened to the Hou's summons. When they entered the main hall, they found that the two beautiful concubines were sitting in the upper seat.

The one the fourth prince is cuddling with must be Concubine Mei. Her appearance is somewhat familiar. Lin Qingyang's first reaction was because she was the biological mother of the fourth prince, so it was like, beauty is really beautiful, but the soft and indifferent surface is not. She couldn't hide the city in her eyes, maybe she didn't need to cover up her own city when facing the three people in front of her, she was just looking at them openly.

On the other side, the younger concubine looks gentle, her eyes are gentle and full of joy, she really has no heart, especially when she looks at Xu Wenze, her eyebrows and eyes are stretched with a smile, she must be Xu Wenze's sister, Xu Guiren .

The three of them saluted and greeted them, Concubine Mei immediately asked them to stand up, and like elders, she opened her mouth to care and inquire about the matters since entering the palace, and soon rewarded them.

Seeing that Concubine Mei had finished speaking, Xu Guiren stood up and said, "Sister, my brother and I want to catch up on the old days..."

"That's right, you siblings haven't seen each other for a long time, so you take Mr. Xu back to the palace, since the fourth prince has no class in the afternoon, so you don't need to accompany him." Concubine Mei said.

Xu Guiren immediately happily led Xu Wenze away.Acts like a simple girl, completely different from the other sister.

Lin Qingyang thought they could leave too, but they were kept drinking tea, and even the fourth prince was transferred out with excuses.

"I heard... just now there was a conflict between the three Highnesses in the World Reading Hall, did you see it?" Concubine Mei's tone seemed to have changed, not as gentle as before.

During the speech, it has been revealed that she has a quick control over the information from the outside world.

Lin Qingyang looked at Chu Lishu and motioned to him, Chu Lishu opened his mouth and reported the situation just now in detail.

Concubine Mei smiled inexplicably, "Both of you are rare talents. Will you be wronged if you enter the palace to accompany the fourth son? If you accompany the other three highnesses, you will be able to follow suit soon Watching His Highnesses make great achievements and enter the court, and accompany the fourth child, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time."

The corner of Lin Qingyang's mouth twitched. Why didn't he say it when he first decided on them, but now he was obviously testing them.

Lin Qingyang was complaining, when suddenly there was a ding in his mind.

[Second task set, task 1: Help the hero join the Four Princes' Party]

This task... Lin Qingyang froze for a moment, he didn't know how to understand the standard of completion.It won't be that they verbally say that I have taken refuge in you, so forget it.

However, according to the male protagonist's plan, it is true that he pretended to take refuge in the Four Princes' Party, using the immature Four Princes' Party to weaken the enemy first, and then turn to deal with the Four Princes' Party.It's just that the hero at that time had already become the confidant of the Four Princes' Party, and it was very convenient to do things.

The fourth princes are still young, so they already liked them. General Zhao admired Chu Lishu a lot because of what happened last time, so the ones who need to be attacked by the four princes' party become Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Li.

The scheming of this father and daughter is not ordinary, otherwise they would not be able to plan a bitter scheme.

If you want to attack them, it is definitely not enough to sacrifice your life for the savior. The hero in the original text has two goals, one is to protect the lord, and the other is to show the strategy. Both are indispensable. Simply protecting the lord does not Strategy will be regarded as a loyal slave. Only if strategy does not protect the master, then he has to be guarded against. Only when he has both, can he become the counselor of the four princes and one party.

Facing Concubine Mei's temptation, Lin Qingyang naturally waited for the hero to play.It never occurred to Chu Lishu to speak directly: "Returning to Madam, the two of us have not thought about entering the imperial court for the time being, and we are not interested in imperial examinations. It is just good to be able to study with His Highness the Fourth Highness."

Lin Qingyang:? ? ?What about the good results?What does this mean?

Concubine Mei was also taken aback for a moment, probably she also thought that they did everything possible to meet the fourth prince outside the palace just to be effective, and now she was giving them a chance to express their attitude, regardless of whether she would believe it immediately, this attitude always indicated.

As a result, they directly stated that they came to accompany the fourth prince to dawdle and study, can this be okay?

Lin Qingyang seemed to see Concubine Mei's face stiffen, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Now it's Concubine Mei's turn not to give up. "People say that good birds choose trees to live in, and smart people choose wise masters. You are at the most suitable age for making achievements. Don't you want to do something?"

These words have already hinted at it, and Concubine Mei is short of directly saying that you quickly recognize the masters of the old lady, so that the old lady can verify whether you are worthy of training.

Chu Lishu was still respectful, "Your Majesty said so."

Lin Qingyang thought there was more to come, and thought what to do next.

Concubine Mei probably has something to say, but after waiting for a long time, she has nothing to say? !

Concubine Mei's face was really distorted, "Master Chu is really interesting."

"Niangniang praised."

"Mr. Chu, please go out and find the fourth son for me. Mr. Lin stay with me and say a few more words."

Lin Qingyang was taken aback, and instinctively looked at Chu Lishu, but Chu Lishu got up and left on his own.

After the people left, Concubine Mei said: "I have been listening to Mr. Chu talking just now, but Mr. Lin has not yet spoken. I wonder how Mr. Lin feels about the conversation just now."

His feelings are the hero's heart needle, isn't this cheating him?What should he say?

Lin Qingyang could only take a deep breath, and said: "I think what my cousin said is right, it hits my heart, that's why I kept silent."

"You... are the son of Marquis Annan." Concubine Mei was probably going to laugh angrily.

"Father only told me to be cautious in my words and deeds after entering the palace, and to accompany His Royal Highness to study with peace of mind." Lin Qingyang could only try not to jump out of the frame given by the hero, and answered vaguely.

Concubine Mei's face turned cold, and she said slowly: "Your Highness Fourth is still young, it's really good to have children like you who concentrate on studying by your side."

Lin Qingyang couldn't help shaking, and smiled awkwardly.

After a while Chu Lishu came back with the four princes, but Concubine Mei didn't keep them and asked them to go back to the Cultural Museum to rest.The fourth prince wanted to play with him, but was forced to stay by Concubine Mei, probably very angry.

After Lin Qingyang and Chu Lishu came out of the main hall, Lin Qingyang finally couldn't help but said: "Cousin, you just..."

"Shh, cousin, let's talk later." Chu Lishu said cautiously.

After the two returned to Chu Lishu's courtyard in the cultural museum, Chu Lishu opened his mouth and said, "Someone was staring at us in Chuuxue Palace just now, and whatever they say will be heard by Concubine Mei."

Lin Qingyang opened his mouth wide, it was true that walls have ears.

"Then... what do you mean? I thought you were going to seek refuge with the fourth prince." But don't change your mind temporarily, otherwise the follow-up tasks will all be over, and I will die.

"It's true that he's taking refuge with the fourth prince." Chu Lishu poured tea for the two of them, and handed a cup to Lin Qingyang. Lin Qingyang was indeed thirsty. After all, he had been in a state of tension, so he hurriedly asked after taking a sip.

Chu Li wrote: "We were originally unreliable, and we got into the eyes of the fourth prince through Xu Wenze, but the incident in Wei Guogong's mansion greatly reduced Xu Wenze's credibility with Concubine Mei, so Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Li may not trust her." We, or even if we have a little trust in us, we can't be treated as our own, it takes time to settle."

"Isn't it better to make a statement? What you said just now, it seems that you don't want to serve them at all, and you don't want to make a difference." Lin Qingyang wondered.

"You can think about the situation of Yue Chen and Huo Luo."

Lin Qingyang was taken aback for a moment, as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't sum it up.

Chu Lishu smiled and said, "The Marquis of Annan didn't vote for anyone, so we chose the young fourth prince. As long as we act like Yuechen and Huo Luo, no one wants to defect or participate in the struggle. I just want to get the honor of being a companion so that I can plan for the future, but it is easier to catch the hearts of Prime Minister Li and Concubine Mei than if we take the initiative to contribute. Those who actively contribute will spend time testing and investigating because they are cautious and take the initiative It's in their hands, not us. It would be a waste of time to walk into their trust center. On the contrary, if they find out that we are really good to the fourth prince, and also have certain talents, courage and strategy, they just don't want to In the midst of a power struggle, what do you think they'll do?"

Lin Qingyang was startled, and instantly understood that it was probably the same as how other people treated Yue Chen and Huo Luo, everyone wanted to win them over as much as possible, and would give them the utmost respect.Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Li changed from waiting for their contribution to begging for their contribution. The effect is completely different. After all, what you get with your own efforts is the best.

They will quickly enter the power center of the Four Princes' Party, which is very important for the male protagonist. After all, he does not have so long to wait for the inspection of the Four Princes' Party. He needs to quickly seize their power to start a war.

And this kind of psychological design is actually more effective for people like Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Li, disrupting their self-righteous presuppositions and disrupting their judgment.

But Lin Qingyang clearly remembered that the hero did not use this trick in the original text, but planned several extreme injury incidents, and took risks to quickly grab the hearts of Concubine Mei and Prime Minister Li, showing his loyalty and wisdom.

Why did it suddenly change?

But from this point of view, Lin Qingyang prefers his current approach. Although the situation has become uncertain, it will not be so cruel and cost so many lives.

"You are still amazing, you should have told me in advance, luckily I didn't say anything nonsense to Concubine Mei?"

Chu Lishu smiled and said: "I know how you will behave, but it won't work if you say it in advance."

Lin Qingyang said in surprise: "How could you guess what I would say?"

Chu Lishu said seriously: "Didn't you say that whoever I choose, you will choose whoever you choose, and you will always stand in the united front with me?"

Lin Qingyang nodded.

Chu Lishu smiled and said: "So, I know you will definitely follow my words. It's just that you will show a little panic, which will make Concubine Mei feel that you will follow my will even if you don't know it. After that, Concubine Mei will know that I am the one who takes the lead between us, and she will not make things difficult for you alone."

Lin Qingyang was impressed by Chu Li's boldness and handsomeness, but he still couldn't help complaining: "Didn't I almost expose you when I left the main hall?"

Chu Lishu was taken aback, "You said that when someone was watching?"

Lin Qingyang nodded dissatisfied, he almost asked why he didn't vote for the Fourth Prince.

Chu Lishu laughed.

At the same time, Prime Minister Li came to visit Concubine Mei as soon as he came down from court.

Concubine Mei was distressed, "Father, those two people didn't come to serve us at all."

"How do you say it? Put all your energy into it, just for the name of a companion? They have no ambitions? Could it be that we have misjudged it, and are really just two useless little people?"

"I thought so too at first, but I had an extra heart and asked the servants to stare at them to see if they would say anything in private, and then I heard..."

Prime Minister Li frowned slightly, "At least it can be proved that the man named Chu Lishu has a city mansion, and he is cautious enough to know that the partition has ears to guard against. He has such vigilance just after entering the palace, which is better than other companions, yes. Maybe they don't want to Participate in the fight, but if he is so talented, how can we miss it and let others find it first."
