Finest Servant

"What did you say, Eunuch Gao?" Lord Lin raised his head in surprise: "The emperor called me?"

Xu Wei is a sensible person. Seeing that someone in the know, he hurriedly grabbed Gao Ping and said, "Eunuch Gao, how is the situation inside? Does the emperor really care?!"

Eunuch Gao shook his head and sighed: "Master Xu, don't embarrass me. You are not an outsider. If I could say something, I would dare to hide it from you?" Seeing the faint anxiety in Gao Ping's expression, Xu Wei froze in his heart, An ominous premonition arose spontaneously, he let go of Gao Ping's sleeves and nodded silently as a response.

The emperor was assassinated in Xiangguo Temple, and now he is resting in the largest wing of Xiangguo Temple. Lin Wanrong followed Gao Ping and pushed in the door. The first thing that caught his eye was the dozens of imperial doctors with their medicine boxes on their backs, all kneeling on the ground, their faces were as white as paper. People dared to look up at him, and no one dared to speak.

Gao Ping looked back and snorted softly, motioning Lin Wanrong to keep silent, and then crept forward, fearing that he would make a bigger move and disturb the people inside.

Inside is a smaller meditation room, the door is closed, and it is silent. Just as Gao Ping brought Lin Wanrong closer, he heard a vigilant voice from inside: "Who is it?" Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. Why did this voice sound so familiar? I just can't remember where I heard it.

Gao Ping said respectfully in a low voice: "Report to Director Wei, the emperor asked the servant to call Master Lin, and he is already waiting outside."

"Tell Lin San to come in." A weak voice sounded, as if he had lost all his strength, if it wasn't for the silence in the room. Lin Wanrong could hardly hear him speak. He recognized this voice. In the mansion he had given him yesterday, the owner of this voice was both coercive and intimidating, and he couldn't forget it when he was beaten to death.

He was agitated. He hurriedly opened the door and went in, only to see a white curtain hanging in the room, hooked on both sides with silver hooks, behind the curtain was a large collapsed figure, and when I looked closely, I saw that his face was pale, There was not a trace of blood on his lips, and he kept panting and coughing, if not for the faint glow in his eyes. Lin Wanrong couldn't recognize it at all, this was the Dahua Emperor who was laughing loudly in front of him yesterday.

"Old man, you. What's wrong with you?!" Lin Wanrong was shocked and hurried forward. Gao Ping wanted to stop him, but he was not as fast as he was, so he could only shake his head and sigh. Why does this Lord Lin seem to have come out of the ground, and he doesn't even care about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers?

The old emperor opened his eyes and saw that he was coming. His lips pursed a few times, but there was a smile in his eyes, and his voice was extremely weak: "Lin San, you are here, cough, cough—" He said a word, and then coughed continuously, and the tendons on his forehead rose high. , that painful look. It can't be faked.

Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth,

He clenched his fists tightly and said angrily, "Who did it, who did this?!"

The old emperor took a few quick breaths, closed his eyes slightly, and then slowly opened it again, calmly said: "Lin San, you must not be impatient, and must not be anxious, I will teach you again, you must remember , next time, there may be no chance."

Seeing that the old man was so seriously ill, he still didn't forget to educate himself. Lin Wanrong couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart, but he was a little moved, and hurriedly said: "Old man, I have a lot of things recently, and I am rather forgetful. When you get better, you can teach me more. Bar."

The emperor glanced at him and sighed: "I have encountered no less than dozens of assassinations in my life. I have never worried about it, but this time, I have no confidence at all. When I am old, I am still I'm old." He breathed lightly, his voice was inaudible, how much sigh, how much emotion, and finally turned into a sigh.

Lin Wanrong hurriedly shook his head: "Old man, don't be discouraged, there are so many imperial doctors out there, they will definitely find a way."

"Lin San, do you know how I got to this position?" The emperor did not seem to hear what he said, he smiled slightly, and there was a flash of reminiscence in his eyes.

"I don't know, but with the ability of the old man, it should be a memorable past." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

"Can you sing and cry?" The old emperor's eyes flashed with light: "Yes, it is indeed inspiring. In the past, King Cheng was smart and witty, and was well-liked by his father, but I, in terms of talent and wit, were far from his. Opponents, everyone is optimistic that the father and emperor will make him the reserve."

"If I were the old man's old man, I wouldn't be the king of sincerity." Lin Wanrong said disdainfully: "There is an old saying that the tree looks at the root, and the person looks at the heart. The king of sincerity is a nine-sentence lotus root - too many hearts and too many falsehoods."

The emperor smiled and took a few breaths: "You are right, he is too clever, success is also successful, and defeat is also defeated."

"What do you mean?" Lin Wanrong was puzzled: "Is it too clever or a bad thing? Then am I in danger?"

The emperor laughed, followed by a violent cough. Eunuch Gao hurriedly handed over a white silk scarf. The old emperor covered his lips and coughed. A mouthful of blood penetrated the scarf, dyeing it bright red. Gao Ping's face was pale, and he took the silk scarf with trembling hands. The old emperor glanced at him coldly.

The old emperor snorted, turned to Lin Wanrong, and said with a smile: "You are not clever, you are treacherous. King Cheng is defeated because he has too many hearts. In the past, the father and emperor favored him so much that he led the bureau of officials and the world. Half of his officials are his disciples. How powerful is this? As for me, I do some thankless things in the Ministry of Households. No matter how hard I work, no one will know. His father's favor for him, the world of this great country is his. Unfortunately, he is too clever. In order to stabilize his position, he made friends with important officials in the court and accepted people from all over the world. Everyone praised him as 'Xiancheng' Wang', for a time, has a great reputation and is admired by thousands of people. This small mind has actually planted a big disaster for him. Father Huang Qingsheng hated the people who form parties and selfish people. Seeing him in such a group of cronies, he advised him several times. It's a pity that he has always followed the yin and the yin, which has disappointed the father and emperor."

When the old emperor talked about the past, his energy was much better, and his cough disappeared. He heard a generation of emperors talk about his struggle for power and the throne. Although he didn't know why the old emperor wanted to talk about this to himself, Lin Wanrong also listened with relish.

"I was disappointed with King Cheng, and my father gradually began to pay attention to me. At that time, I met Miss Guo for the first time. Although there was an age barrier, I admired her very much. It's just that her father, Mr. Guo Lao , was the chief bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion at that time, in order not to be accused of being a party, under Xu Wei and Li Tai's persuasion, I had to reluctantly put down Miss Guo temporarily and serve the father and emperor wholeheartedly."

It turns out that there are so many twists and turns in the middle, no wonder the old emperor is reluctant to part with Mrs. Xiao, and what he does not get is always the best. Xu Wei is not a good bird either. In the past, for the sake of fame and fortune, he abandoned Su Qinglian. When he was old, he played Red Sunset again. I despised him.

"I don't want to say more about what happened later." A painful expression flashed on the emperor's face: "When my father was seriously ill, he had been living in the Xiangguo Temple. I served him sincerely in front of his couch, but King Cheng did not. In collaborating with his party members, he was always ready for the final blow. In his anger, the emperor left a will at the last moment and passed it on to me. It was just that the flesh and blood were always connected. , I can't do anything to him."

Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh. No wonder the old emperor wanted to confuse me to deal with King Cheng. It turned out that he made a poisonous oath.

"However, when the emperor died just now, I encountered an assassin. If it wasn't for the little eunuch who was close to me trying to save me, I would have been a pile of dead bones." The emperor's eyes flashed a tinge of pain, and he gritted his teeth tightly, and said word by word: "That's a shame that I can't wash away in my life, shame!"

The two of you are fighting for the throne. It's normal for you to be assassinated. What's the shame. Lin Wanrong had something to say in his heart, but when he saw the emperor's stern look, it seemed that it was not just as simple as being assassinated, so he swallowed the words again.

"Lin San, are you willing to wash away this shame for me?" The emperor looked at him and said slowly, but there was an indescribable heavy feeling in his tone.

"This, old man, you also know that since the throne is high and powerful, my official position is too small, so I can't fight against him. Can you always do something else for me to do?" Lin Wanrong said with a sullen face.

"High and powerful?" The old emperor laughed twice: "Lin San, if I gave you the power and status of the supreme being in the world, can you take care of him?"

Supreme Being? With you here, I will never be supreme. Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly and said, "Master, stop joking, I will be cranky."

"Confused!" The old emperor snorted angrily: "Do you remember the inscription I gave you?"

"It's ruthless, of course I remember, the old man's words are written in dragon flying and phoenix dance, and I have a fight." Lin Wanrong giggled.

"Just read it again and listen." The old emperor said in a deep voice.

"The first family in the world! I remember it." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

"Listen to the words I gave you," the Emperor Huo snorted and said loudly, "The number one in the world! The number one in the world!!! Do you understand?!!"
