Beauty and the Bodyguard

Although he didn't say death, Han Changshi's meaning was very clear, that is, Lin Yi would have the final say on all future major decisions of the Han Palace.

In name, he is the chief guest, but in essence, he has found himself a supreme emperor.

This kind of thing would be a complete fool's errand for any other person.

However, Han Twenty-san showed his appreciation, patted Han Changshi on the shoulder and praised: "It's interesting. This is a good suggestion. I agree."

In the final analysis, the essence of what he did today was to bind the Han Palace to Lin Yi. Since Lin Yi was unwilling to be the King of Han, it would be a good idea to settle for the next best thing and make him the chief guest.

As for whether Lin Yi would use this as an excuse to criticize matters in Prince Han's Mansion in the future, he was not worried at all.

On the contrary, Han Twenty-san was eager for Lin Yi to point his fingers.

The more he gesticulates, the deeper the cause and effect between Lin Yi and Prince Han's house, and the closer the two parties are bound, which is exactly what he wants.

Everyone looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded: "Okay."

In any case, since his goal after returning from the sinful realm this time was the entire inner royal court, it was impossible to bypass the seven palaces.

Prince Han's Mansion is the most ready-made first anchor point, so it is natural to hold it in hand.

In this way, both parties get what they need, and everyone is happy.

Han Changshi's succession to the throne of King Han was a sensational event for the Han Palace, and it was no small matter for the entire inner court.

After all, even if the influence of Prince Han's Palace is small, it is still one of the seven palaces.

Its weakness is only relative to other palaces. Compared to other forces in the Inner Court, the Han Palace is still an out-and-out behemoth.

According to the rules, when a new king ascends the throne, he must report to the official court of the inner court, and only after obtaining the nominal permission of Emperor Zhou can the succession ceremony be held.

But now that the situation is special, everything needs to be simplified.

Han Changshi ordered people to clean up the place and rearrange the banquet. On the other hand, as the real soul of Prince Han's palace, Han Ersan revealed a lot of in-depth inside information to Lin Yi through the banquet in order to win over Lin Yi.

Combining all the information just extracted from the lonely old monster, Lin Yi suddenly became enlightened after two-phase verification.

"The water in the inner palace is really deep."

He had already felt before that all parties in the Inner Court were ready to make trouble. Even without him, it was the calm before the storm.

But Lin Yi didn't know the specific reason.

Now I finally understand.

Lin Yi said with an interesting tone: "According to what the senior said, all the forces with a little respect have already got in touch with the old monsters in the inner court. Are they all waiting for the arrival of a new era?"

Han Twenty-three nodded and said: "An era has its own main theme. When you reach the level of a heaven-level venerable, you can no longer improve by relying on personal opportunities and practice."

"Only by catching a ride on the main melody can we have a chance to break through. Otherwise, all these old monsters will have come to an end one by one."

"If nothing else goes wrong, with the arrival of a new era, the entire inner court will be turned upside down."

"All the old monsters are placing bets. Whether it's the seven princes' palaces or other forces, they are all within their choice."

Lin Yi reacted: "So senior is going to bet on me?"

Han Twenty-three laughed: "That's what I mean, but it's a pity that the forceful melon is not sweet. It's good now."

Lin Yi asked: "Which company is the most promising now?"

Han Twenty-three: “Guess what.”

Lin Yi's first reaction was: "Prince Qin's Mansion."

If the Inner Court really enters a new era where heroes compete for hegemony, the one most likely to break out of the siege will naturally be the Palace of the Prince of Qin.

At least in terms of hard power, before he emerged with the top ten sin sects, no one in the entire Inner Court could truly compete with him.

Even the joint alliance that brought together the six royal palaces only outshone them in terms of momentum and did not have any substantial advantage.

Han Twenty-three shook his head: "Then you are wrong. The last place these old monsters want to choose is Prince Qin's Mansion."

Lin Yi was stunned: "Huh?"

Han Twenty-three explained: "It is true that the Qin Prince's Palace has the strongest overall strength, but this premise is that in the original Inner King's Court, under the current situation, the addition of every old monster may overturn the original power structure. You How strong your original strength is is no longer important.”

Lin Yi immediately reacted: "It doesn't matter whether you have strength or not. What's important is whether people think highly of you or not?"

Han Twenty-three nodded appreciatively: "That's what it means."

The implication is that even a small and unknown force before that, as long as it can attract enough old monsters to join, it is possible to counterattack the Prince of Qin's Mansion with hard power.

At this point, the original advantages of the Qin Palace are no longer important.

"This is just one of them."

Han Twenty-san continued: "There is another more important reason that affects these old monsters' bets. The Qin Palace is the biggest beneficiary of the existing order."

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard this.

The era is about to overthrow. The more profits you make in the old era, the greater the possibility of being overthrown in the new era.

In other words, in the eyes of many old monsters, the real target now is Prince Qin's Mansion.

Naturally, the other seven palaces are not much better.

In their eyes, Lin Yi's emergence was not only not a bad thing, but a clear proof that a new era was coming!

Han Ersan said frankly: "This is a dramatic change for the entire inner court, and it is even more of a catastrophe for our seven palaces."

"There are old monsters who choose to bet on us, but they are very few."

"The only thing the seven palaces can rely on is the ancestors they worship."

Lin Yi looked at him and said bluntly: "Among the ancestors of the Han Palace, only the senior can come out to move?"

Han Ersan blushed: "For now."

The implication is that there may be changes in the future.

But in Lin Yi's opinion, the greater possibility is that there will be no more changes.

Even if the Han Palace is not as popular as the other six palaces, if it really relies on Han Ersan alone, it is unlikely to survive the next catastrophe.

No wonder the other party is so eager to bind with him.

Lin Yi turned and asked, "Senior, you haven't answered my question just now."

Han Ersan smiled meaningfully and said, "If I don't tell you, you may never think that the place where the most old monsters gather is the emperor's palace."

Lin Yi was surprised: "They are optimistic about the Zhou emperor?"

To be honest, no matter how much the Zhou emperor is a puppet emperor, he is still the nominal number one in the inner court.

Once the era is overturned, as a symbol of the old era, the Zhou emperor theoretically has no chance of being spared.
