Chapter 531 I said there were many things going on today
Xiao Yining quietly raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Qiu Yi beside her, only to see her lowering her head in silence, her face full of guilt and fear, as if she didn't understand something.
At this moment, her father's voice, half-smiley and half-laughing, rang out from above her head again: "Qing Jie'er, have you thought of an excuse?"
Xiao Yining hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to confess and get leniency.
She reluctantly moved to Lin Yuzan's side and called him "Dad" softly, with a hint of flattery in her tone.
"Yeah." Lin Yuzan responded indifferently, then bent down and held his daughter on his lap, and then warned: "To be honest, your grandpa is not here."
Xiao Yining:......
The little girl pretended not to understand the hidden meaning of her father's words and replied directly: "It's okay, it's okay. Sister Qing will tell Dad today, and then tell Grandpa during the ten-day holiday."
Lin Yuzan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at his daughter's big eyes, which were shining with cunning light, and couldn't help laughing. Just as he was about to speak, he saw his daughter stretched out her little hand, gently pulled his neck down, and then whispered in her ear: "Dad, Qingjie overheard Zhao Mama say that the late emperor was possessed by a monster!"
After saying that, Xiao Yining glanced upwards. These were the words spoken openly, and both she and 13 heard them clearly. The rest of the secret words were things that could not be said in front of 13.
However, just these few short words were enough to change Lin Yuzan's expression suddenly. He looked at his daughter in surprise, with a storm in his heart.
Zhao Ya was the one Lin Yuzan personally hired to raise his daughter. He knew her identity inside and out and knew that she would not talk nonsense.
After careful consideration, Lin Yuzan was able to conclude that what his daughter had overheard was not groundless.
Although he has not yet shown his talents in this life, he had already reached the high position of prime minister before his rebirth, and he also had some understanding of the behavior and ways of doing things of the late emperor.
The late emperor ascended the throne at the age of twenty. In the first year of his reign, he was full of confidence and devoted himself to governing the country. He would attend the morning court every day to discuss state affairs with his ministers. He worked hard on every government matter, demonstrating the demeanor and determination of a wise ruler.
However, the good times did not last long. The following year, the emperor began to reveal his playful nature. Except for major decisions concerning the lifeblood of the country that required his decision, he seemed careless about many other matters. He even handed over full authority to the ministers in the court to handle. This practice continued for more than ten years.
Later, due to illness, he went to the temporary palace to recuperate. After returning, he changed his ways, except for his habit of lusting after the women in the harem. The late emperor began to manage the government affairs himself again. However, at that time the crown prince was already able to take charge of the country on his own and had the ability to regent, so most of the decisions were made by him.
Because of this, the former crown prince would cause dissatisfaction and suspicion from the late emperor, who supported the current emperor. This also resulted in only one more Prince Yu in nearly twenty years, and the rest were all princes and dukes of the older generation.
But this was only the surface that Lin Yuzan understood. He knew in his heart that there must be another unknown story inside.
But all this became clear from his daughter's words - possessed by a demon!
Although bizarre, it does better explain the various changes that took place during the reign of the late emperor.
Lin Yuzan's expression gradually became solemn. He looked at his daughter again with his deep and thoughtful eyes. Seeing that she looked like she was asking for praise again, the anger in his heart that had been temporarily put aside rose again.
He couldn't help but whispered, "How dare you eavesdrop on everything? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble and getting yourself killed?"
Xiao Yining: ...
The little kid pouted in grievance and muttered, "Dad scolded Qingjie, next time Qingjie won't say anything!"
"You still don't know your mistake, how dare you do it again!"
Seeing that his daughter had no intention of repenting, Lin Yuzan became even angrier. He then changed her position, made her lie on his legs, and raised his right hand high, as if he was going to hit her hard.
Just as little Yining covered her face and waited to be beaten, she suddenly noticed that her father's body suddenly froze, and his big palm did not fall on her buttocks when she expected.
The little girl's eyes were full of confusion. She secretly looked back at her father through the gaps between her fingers, only to see that her father's raised hand was stopped in mid-air by someone, and his face was extremely ugly as he glared at the person who stopped him.
Surprised, little Yining quickly raised his little face and looked upwards along his arm.
When she saw this, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise. It was the shadow guard wearing the "Sixty-Six" mask who had appeared silently beside her father and helped her.
66 simply glanced at the little boy and said to Lin Yuzan, "Lin Yuzan, the emperor has ordered you to participate in the upcoming imperial examination."
Lin Yuzan was already unhappy because he was prevented from teaching his daughter a lesson. When he heard the news, he withdrew his hand in annoyance, glanced at 66, and coldly refused: "I am in mourning. Returning to the academy to study is against the etiquette and disrespectful to my ancestors. I cannot participate in this special examination. Please help me to report to the emperor."
Unfortunately, 66 was not moved at all. He just narrowed his small eyes, and a frightening and dangerous light flashed in his eyes. He stabbed Lin Yuzan with one hand at lightning speed, and at the same time, he picked up the baby on his leg with the other hand.
Little Yining was startled by 66's sudden action. Seeing her father fainted in this man's arms, she pulled his hand excitedly and kicked in the air: "You flower thief, what are you going to do to my father?"
66: ...
Qiu Yi, who was standing by, didn't have time to think about it. She rushed forward and hugged 66's thighs: "If you hurt my master, I will fight you."
Seeing this, 66 raised his head impatiently and looked at 13 who was watching the show: "13, I want to take Lin Yuzan to see the emperor, you take these two away."
Unexpectedly, 13 didn't even glance at him, and replied coldly: "The emperor only ordered me to keep an eye on Lin Yining, and put the rest on hold."
66 frowned and looked down at the two troublesome kids.
The little girl who was holding him had wisely let him go, but the one in his hand was still holding his wrist excitedly.
Little Yining noticed 66's gaze and said hurriedly, "I want to be with my father and never be apart. I, I also want to see the emperor. The emperor is my uncle."
66 snorted coldly and said no more. The next moment, his figure flashed and the three of them disappeared at the same time.
Qiu Yi looked at the empty room again and couldn't help but admire: "Miss, you are so brave!"
