Chapter 657: Get lost... (Edited)
Just as Wang Cheng was wondering, the disappeared Lin Yuzan was hurriedly chasing the person in front.
Soon, he saw the back of the target person and shouted, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."
The emperor did not stop when he heard the voice, but turned his head slightly, glanced at Pei Dafu out of the corner of his eye, and continued walking forward.
Pei Dafu immediately understood what he meant, turned around, stopped the person behind him, and asked, "Mr. Lin, is there any urgent matter that you need to report to His Majesty? If it is not urgent, please go back! It is getting late today, please do not disturb His Majesty's rest."
Lin Yuzan stopped and glanced at the receding figure, then bowed to Pei Dafu and said, "Manager Pei, I don't have anything important to do. I'll ask you for advice on this matter."
Pei Dafu frowned, looked him up and down, smiled with an ambiguous meaning, and nodded in agreement: "Okay! But... Mr. Lin, don't think about getting any advice from me here."
Hearing this, Lin Yuzan smiled uncomfortably, and after thinking for a while, he finally asked, "I wonder if Chief Steward Pei can tell me what His Majesty likes. His Majesty's birthday is in a month..."
Before he could finish, Pei Dafu interrupted him with a surprised question: "Mr. Lin wants to prepare a birthday gift for His Majesty?"
Lin Yuzan: ...
The old man spoke again: "Manager Pei, you misunderstood me..."
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old eunuch in front of him: "Mr. Lin has this kind of heart, His Majesty must be very pleased. However, this birthday gift should be thoughtful, how can you be opportunistic and ask others. You are so smart, and you have been with His Majesty for many days, you should know what His Majesty likes."
Seeing this, Lin Yuzan felt helpless and could only say, "What Pei Zongguan taught me is true, but it was only because my daughter kept talking about Your Majesty at home that I asked this question."
Pei Dafu nodded in understanding, and then changed his tone to perfunctory: "So that's how it is. Princess Le'an's filial piety is really touching. Then has Mr. Lin ever thought about preparing a birthday gift for His Majesty?"
"Of course, I will prepare together with my daughter." Lin Yuzan answered as a matter of course.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, an angry shout came from the front of the palace: "Get out of here!"
Pei Dafu's face suddenly changed when he heard the voice. He ignored Lin Yuzan and hurriedly chased after him: "Aiya, Your Majesty, calm down. Your Majesty, don't leave in a hurry. Wait for me..."
Lin Yuzan: o(一︿一+)o, this damn old man!
The old man stared at the empty palace road and couldn't help cursing in his heart.
Just then, a hand gently rested on his shoulder.
Wang Cheng finally found this place by following the sound. He glanced at the end of the palace road, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He said teasingly: "I didn't know Shunan had such a close relationship with His Majesty? You even thought about preparing a birthday gift for him. You are like this... It makes me, your cousin, seem rather cold and indifferent."
Lin Yuzan rolled his eyes at him unhappily and retorted, "Shu Zhi has the ability to turn rotten wood into something magical, so he doesn't need to worry about the birthday gift."
Having said that, he turned around and left angrily, not forgetting to turn the tables: "Shu Zhi, you'd better not delay. You have to go back to Yunfei Academy early tomorrow morning. If you can't get up, you will lose your modest face in front of the younger generation."
Wang Cheng was not angry at being criticized. He smiled nonchalantly and said softly, "Why is Shunan so angry? My uncle was just joking."
Then, he changed the subject and reminded: "Shun'an, I'm afraid it's impossible to use Doctor Shangguan's incident to make another contribution this time."
Lin Yuzan paused, looked at him with a little surprise, frowned slightly, and thought carefully about the situation.
But in a moment, he figured it all out, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said firmly: "Shangguan Guiqing didn't tell the truth just now... He wanted to die to help Xuanping Hou conceal the truth."
Wang Cheng nodded slightly, with a playful look in his eyes, "Age makes people wise! This is probably Shangguan Wenyuan's trip to the capital, and it is also a life-saving trick he arranged for his grandson. It also kills two birds with one stone, and informs Marquis Xuanping that the emperor is on guard against him."
Then, he whispered in his old rival's ear: "Old Shangguan has long been a useless chess piece. He is of little use to Marquis Xuanping. Shunan might as well guess, who is he after he captured Old Shangguan and then went after his grandson?"
After hearing this, Lin Yuzhan blurted out without even thinking: "Could it be that his son is still alive?"
After that, the two of them recalled the scene of drinking and talking with Chen Pi in their previous life. At that time, Chen Pi mentioned with regret: the fraud case in Yanjing was only one step away from being exposed to the world, but because of being too conceited and thinking that it was under control, it lost everything.
And now they are repeating Chenpi's mistakes.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuzan's irritation with the old man instantly became apparent. "Although the emperor has given old man Shangguan some time to spend with his grandchildren, if he is imprisoned in the dungeon, they will definitely not be allowed to stay in the same room. And there is always a way to pry open old man Shangguan's mouth."
