Beauty and the Bodyguard

With Lin Yi's current strength and level, if he really just wanted revenge, he could be more clean and ruthless.

He doesn't need so many polite words.

His goal is far more than just swallowing up Yeyang Palace.

Everything he did today was just the beginning.

The five kings knelt down, and all the remaining pressure fell on Emperor Zhou at once.

All parties were watching his reaction, and there were countless people who joked and played with him.

Even the common people knew the embarrassment of this puppet emperor. His weight was not as good as any of the five kings. Now that the five kings have knelt down, he, the nominal master of the inner court, can't stand it at all.

But the problem is that the five kings lost their face and their substance. If he, the puppet emperor, loses even the last bit of face, he will really have nothing.

In the stalemate, Emperor Zhou wanted to play dead and quietly retracted the shadow.

Seeing this, Hou Chuang hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, don't do that!"

In today's situation, if they could get away with pretending to be dead in public, why would the five kings kneel down and kowtow to Lin Yi?

It can't be that the five kings are not as smart as Emperor Zhou and can't think of such a brilliant method?

But Emperor Zhou was furious: "Why not! If it weren't for your stupid advice, how could I have fallen into such a difficult situation?"

Hou Chuang choked.

It was indeed his instigation, but could it be that Emperor Zhou himself had no fault at all?

Emperor Zhou snorted coldly, "I am the emperor. Only the way of heaven can make me kneel. Who else can bear it? I am retreating now to give Lin Yi some room. He should be grateful. Do you still have the nerve to bite back?"

Hou Chuang advised earnestly, "Now the whole inner court is watching. Once your majesty withdraws in this way, it will leave everyone with a stereotype of retreating in the face of battle. It will be difficult to reverse it in the future."

Emperor Zhou said angrily, "Bullshit! Can I kneel down to Lin Yi to change the public opinion?"

Hou Chuang said, "With the five kings in front, even if your majesty suffers a little humiliation this time, no one will say anything. On the contrary, it may win some people's hearts."

To put it bluntly, it is sympathy.

As a puppet emperor, he was forced to kneel down and was ridiculed by others. It is certain, but there will always be some people who will sympathize with him as a weak man.

Even if it doesn't have much effect in the short term, it is still a capital for Emperor Zhou.

Hou Chuang paused and suggested: "If Your Majesty is brave enough, you might as well issue an imperial decree to reprimand Lin Yi. In this way, Your Majesty can change your previous weak image in front of everyone in the inner court and win the hearts of the people by stepping on the shoulders of the five kings. This is a godsend opportunity!"

"..."

Emperor Zhou looked at him with an expression of looking at an idiot: "Are you crazy or am I crazy? What if Lin Yi is really angry? Will you die if you don't come up with such a bad idea?"

Hou Chuang hurriedly said: "Lin Yi is not a man without strategy. Even if he fights back, he will never dare to openly attack Your Majesty. This old minister is absolutely sure."

Emperor Zhou curled his lips: "If you really have absolute confidence, I will not be forced to this point."

Hou Chuang was speechless.

Then, Emperor Zhou forcibly retracted the emperor's phantom despite opposition.

The whole audience was stunned.

To be honest, even if Emperor Zhou retracted before the five kings knelt, it would not be so speechless.

Now all eyes were on him. He was so openly pretending to be dead. The image of the puppet emperor, who was not very tall, suddenly became more and more humble and ridiculous in the eyes of everyone in the inner court.

Boom!

Without any external force, a corner of the emperor's palace collapsed spontaneously without any sign.

Zhou Tianzi fell to the ground with a pale face.

He didn't know what happened, but for some reason, he felt that he had lost something very important.

Hou Chuang shook his head and was speechless as he watched this scene.

He was not an ordinary inner court practitioner, but came from the inner court like Xiang Zikui.

This time he came out because he sensed a rare opportunity and wanted to bet his life and property on it.

Zhou Tianzi was his chosen target.

There were more than one or two old monsters with similar motives as him, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to leap to the top in one fell swoop, but the targets chosen by others were all at the level of the seven great palaces, and only this puppet emperor was almost ignored by everyone.

Hou Chuang's move was undoubtedly picking up a leak.

As long as he supports the Zhou Emperor to truly ascend to the throne and become the real lord of the inner court, the rewards he will get at that time will be absolutely immeasurable!

However, now, Hou Chuang regrets so much that he wants to vomit blood.

It is impossible to help a rotten mud.

Zhou Emperor has been on the throne for so many years, and he has always been just a puppet emperor with an empty title. There is really a reason.

With such conduct, even with his dedicated assistance, how can he take back the real power from the seven major palaces and become a real bag of heroes?

What's more, now he has to face a more aggressive Lin Yi.

On the scene.

The five kings bowed their heads, the emperor retreated, and no one dared to look at him where Lin Yi's eyes were.

The directors of Yeyang Palace trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Just now they thought there was a chance to turn the tables, but now, their only extravagant hope is that Lin Yi can still keep his previous promise and save their lives.

However, Lin Yi didn't even look at them at all.

"From today on, the Hezong Alliance is dissolved."

Lin Yi's short words, the invisible contract that originally shrouded the six palaces, instantly fell apart.

Everyone was shocked.

The covenant collapsed.

Back then, this invisible covenant was personally guided and concluded by Lin Yi during the alliance ceremony.

It is precisely because of the existence of this covenant that the Hezong Alliance has been able to suppress differences and come to this day, and use it to suppress the Qin Palace.

Now, Lin Yi personally wiped out the covenant.

Even if the six palaces can still maintain the form of the Hezong Alliance afterwards, they will inevitably not be able to maintain the essence of the alliance.

Even if the Hezong Alliance continues to exist, it is destined to be in name only.

One word to establish an alliance, one word to abolish the alliance.

Lin Yi's attitude at this moment is deeply engraved in the hearts of countless people, and the same sentence lingers in the minds of countless people.

A real man should be like this!

The bigwigs from all sides still dare not breathe, waiting for Lin Yi's further actions.

Lin Yi, however, stopped when he saw that it was going well.

"Today's matter ends here. If anyone is dissatisfied, you are welcome to come and talk to me at any time. Of course, I can also come and talk to you."

The five kings' phantoms all retreated, each one faster than the other.

Are you kidding? In this situation, they can't even hide in time. Who dares to talk to you, Lin Yi?

This is not the way to eat arsenic for an old man.
