Beauty and the Bodyguard

If it weren't for the momentum of the Hezong Alliance, Wei Baizhan would have been the biggest news headliner in the Royal Court today.

Once the murder case was exposed, the Inner Court officials acted resolutely, and in less than an hour, Wei Baizhan was taken under control and sent to prison.

Such efficiency is quite abnormal.

Even before seeing Wei Baizhan in person, Lin Yi could already smell the conspiracy.

With his current influence, it is difficult for ordinary methods to be effective against him. From the perspective of an opponent, it is natural to think of opening a breakthrough from the people around him.

Tianlao is the traditional sphere of influence of Prince Qi's Mansion, and with Mr. Qi personally accompanying him at this time, Lin Yi can move through without hindrance.

"Eighth floor?"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Mr. Qi looked at Lin Yi with a strange look on his face: "Is that subordinate of yours so awesome that he was sent to the eighth floor of the prison as soon as he came up?"

According to the rules of the prison, the more criminals are detained there, the higher the risk.

The ninth floor of the Sky Prison is an independent kingdom. In other words, the most dangerous criminals that the Sky Prison can actually imprison now are on the eighth floor.

Wei Baizhan is certainly not a good person.

Especially with his ruthless character like a lone wolf, no matter where he goes, he can tear off a piece of flesh from the opponent.

But in an environment like the Inner Court where experts gather, it would be unrealistic to say that his strength has reached the eighth level.

Obviously, this is a special case.

Lin Yi frowned: "Whose hand is it?"

The prison chiefs in Tianlao looked at each other and Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi didn't say anything but just kicked him over and scolded: "I'm asking you! What sneaky tricks are you doing? This is my brother Lin, please show some respect!"

Everyone became more and more surprised.

They knew exactly what Mr. Qi was like.

Although the Tianlao system is relatively closed and does not communicate much with the outside world, even so, they have heard about the conflict between Mr. Qi and Lin Yi in Yeyang Palace.

According to Mr. Qi's usual style, if he found someone to kill Lin Yi without saying a word, that would be the normal development.

What the hell is Brother Lin doing here?

Possessed?

As everyone knows, it is true that Mr. Qi is a fool, but he has been trained by the top elites of Prince Qi since he was a child, so he is not without merit after all.

Be willing to admit defeat is one.

Knowing who to mess with and who not to mess with is another.

Especially on the latter point, Mr. Qi is a straw bag, but he has never been ambiguous.

With Lin Yi's current momentum, even if he is the heir to Prince Qi's palace, he must lower his profile and support him well.

The huge gap between the pros and cons of making friends with Lin Yi and offending Lin Yi can be felt even if one is not clear-headed.

After all, Mr. Qi is a reckless man, but not a fool.

Immediately, a cell leader stood up and apologized, saying with a smile: "Master Lin, it was all done by strict hands from beginning to end. We didn't know anything about it from the beginning."

"Yan Zheng? Is that the guy who talks about human rights and justice?"

Mr. Qi raised his eyebrows with a look of disgust.

Although the Tianlao system is the traditional sphere of influence of his Prince Qi Palace, it is not really impenetrable. They are all members of his Prince Qi Palace from top to bottom.

Even if it is just to save face, some quotas will be given to the officials of the inner court.

This Yan Zheng is one of the prison heads placed by the government.

"Take me to see it."

All the prison bosses rushed to agree to Lin Yi's request.

Mr. Qi followed leisurely and complained casually: "Brother Lin, you asked me to pay attention to Mr. Qi Tian. I really found irrefutable evidence that the old guy has evil intentions!"

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Although Prince Qi's Mansion is now bound to the Hezong Alliance, the existence of Lord Qi Tian is, after all, a small hidden danger.

If you don't pay attention, this person is very likely to do bad things.

Mr. Qi has always been close to him, but after the previous incident, the two sides have developed a rift.

Let Mr. Qi stare at him, and he will make the best use of his talents.

"I get angry when I talk about this!"

Mr. Qi gritted his teeth: "That old guy actually presented beautiful women to my father. Lin Yi, what do you think his intentions are?"

Lin Yi was surprised.

Normally, it can only be regarded as a routine operation for the servants to offer beautiful women to their masters.

After all, everyone does this, so there’s really nothing to criticize.

But Lin Yi still smelled something unusual.

Lin Yi wondered: "I have the impression that King Qi doesn't seem to have much interest in female sex, right?"

As the saying goes, if you want to give a gift to be effective, it must be something the other person likes.

Otherwise it will just backfire.

King Qi is not a womanizer. As the most favored minister, Qi Tianjun should know all about this. How could he make such a low-level mistake?

Could it be that he was really in a hurry and sought medical treatment?

"That's right. My father has quit smoking in the past few years, but that old guy is still rushing to give women away. Brother Lin, do you think he is giving me eye drops?"

Mr. Qi cursed.

Although everyone inside and outside the Prince of Qi's palace regarded him as the heir, strictly speaking, the Prince of Qi did not officially declare his position as the heir apparent.

In other words, it's not a done deal.

Not to mention that King Qi has other heirs, it is not impossible to give birth to a heir apparent now if he has a whim!

Lin Yi thought thoughtfully: "It's indeed interesting."

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

He didn't think Qi Tianjun was targeting Mr. Qi, he probably had other motives.

Lin Yi vaguely felt that this matter was most likely related to King Qi himself!

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the eighth floor of the prison, accompanied by a group of prison chiefs.

The most dangerous criminals in the Inner Court are imprisoned here, and all protective measures are fully used. The environment is dark and gloomy, and there is an indescribable sense of world-weariness that is extremely depressing.

Anyone who comes in here will basically have no chance of getting out alive.

Even if there are a few exceptions, it is difficult to escape completely. At the worst, you will be left with a lifelong disability.

Everyone stopped in front of Cell No. 7.

"Wei Baizhan is inside."

The cell leader had just finished the introduction, and then he was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Where is the person?"

Following the direction of his finger, four or five pairs of red eyes lit up deep in Cell No. 7, but Wei Baizhan was not among them.

Mr. Qi immediately kicked him over and said angrily: "You have lost someone, haven't you? Go find him quickly. If Wei Baizhan is gone, you will all be buried with him!"

He finally took the opportunity to show his face in front of Lin Yi and sell himself a favor.

If this can still make things worse, then it will really be shameful to see Lin Yi.

All the cell bosses immediately rushed around looking for someone.

After a while, the news finally came.

"The person has been found! Over here in the emergency room!"

By the time Lin Yi and others arrived, Wei Baizhan was already a bloody mess, with no part of his body intact.

If it weren't for the faint aura that could be felt from its body, everyone would have thought it was a rotting corpse. (End of chapter)
