The marriage contract between Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian was a plan for Emperor Chu and Miss Shen Xian to delay the attack when they were hunting.
Lin Bai originally planned to take a break from the turmoil after Emperor Chu's birthday, so he asked Emperor Chu to break off his engagement with Miss Shenxian.
The mission of Prince Hong's Mansion has never changed. Their real enemy is not the Third Prince, but Prince Liang's Mansion.
Just like what Chao Yushi said...whether it is His Royal Highness Chen Wang or the third prince who is the Emperor of Chu, there is not much difference to Prince Hong's Mansion.
Their enemy was neither His Royal Highness Chen nor the Third Prince, but the Liang Palace.
According to Chao Yushi's investigation for many years, five thousand years ago, Prince Hong's Mansion was destroyed, and behind it was the shadow of Prince Liang's Mansion.
And this rumor is not groundless, Prince Hong's Mansion was also one of the best palaces in Chu State five thousand years ago.
After the fall of Prince Hong's Mansion, Liang Wang's Mansion was able to hold great power in the military headquarters of Chu State, and became a powerful palace with power over the government and the public.
Zhao Yushi's face was gloomy, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, "I'm curious, what method did His Highness Prince Chen use to make Lord Lang so determined to help him ascend the throne?"
When Lin Bai heard this, he didn't continue to pretend, but told him bluntly.
"Three reasons."
"First, I was originally a close friend with His Royal Highness Chen Wang. When he returned to the imperial capital, we met in Ziwei City."
"Mr. Chao already knew about this matter, right?"
Zhao Yushi nodded again and again, since Lin Bai became famous in the territory of Chu, almost all major forces in the imperial capital are investigating Lin Bai's origin.
Chao Yushi was no exception, especially after the engagement with Miss Shen Xian was made, Prince Hong's Mansion almost checked all eighteen generations of Lin Bai's ancestors.
Naturally, they also knew that Lin Bai came from the territory of Qi Tianzong, and he met His Royal Highness Chen Wang on the border of Chu State, and they had a good friendship.
Lin Bai continued: "The second reason is that I need to use the channel of Chu State to go to the Seven Realms of Heaven."
Both Zhao Yushi and Shen Xian were shocked, "Are you going to the Seven Realms of Heaven?"
After Miss Shen Xian exclaimed, she asked again, "Where are you going?"
"Where is it a battlefield of ten thousand realms? All the major territories, the major realms, the major families, and the leaders of the major sects are fighting there!"
From Miss Shen Xian's point of view, the Seven Realms of the Heavens is a huge battlefield. People who step into it are almost all close to death, and very few people can escape unscathed.
Lin Bai replied: "I naturally have my own ideas and things to do."
When Miss Shen Xian heard the words, she stopped talking.
Only now did she understand what Lin Bai's plan was.
Lin Bai said to Chao Yushi again: "Tianshui Sect is kind to me. I promised Tianshui Sect to help them make a comeback."
Zhao Yushi nodded again, the third reason is easy to understand.
Now that the power of the Chu Kingdom is being handed over, it is a time when good and bad people are mixed. If Tianshuizong's bet is right, then His Royal Highness Chen Wang ascends the throne, and Tianshuizong will naturally reap a lot of benefits.
A comeback is no longer a dream.
Chao Yushi said: "Then what benefits can our Prince Hong's Mansion gain?"
Lin Bai said: "After His Royal Highness Chen ascended the throne, the first person to deal with is the Liang Palace. We have a common goal."
Chao Yushi smiled, "But after the Third Prince ascends the throne, he will also deal with Prince Liang's Mansion. We can help the Third Prince as well."
"And judging from the current situation, the third prince seems to be more likely to ascend to the throne."
Lin Bai smiled, "Then how can you be sure that the third prince will not destroy Prince Hong's mansion after dealing with Liang's mansion?"
"Could it be that the third prince will just sit back and watch Prince Hong's mansion rise again after destroying Prince Liang's mansion?"
"Do you really want to see the tragedy in Prince Hong's Mansion five thousand years ago reappear?"
Miss Chao Yushi and Miss Shen Xian looked solemn when they heard the words.
What Lin Bai said was not groundless. If the third prince ascended the throne, after the destruction of Prince Liang's mansion, Prince Hong's mansion would definitely grow again.
At that time, the third prince is likely to destroy Prince Hong's mansion together.
Zhao Yushi's face was gloomy, "Then how can we be sure that His Highness Chen Wang will not take action against Prince Hong's Mansion after the destruction of Prince Liang's Mansion?"
Lin Bai stretched out two fingers, "There are two reasons."
"First, Miss Shen Xian and His Royal Highness Chen Wang have been friends for many years, and His Highness Chen also knows about the grievances of Prince Hong's Mansion."
"If His Royal Highness King Chen ascends the throne, it will not only help Prince Hong's mansion to be redressed, but also bring Prince Hong's mansion back to earth."
"Secondly, I can assure you that if His Royal Highness Prince Chen wants to deal with Prince Hong's Mansion after he ascends the throne, I will help Prince Hong's Mansion!"
Lin Bai smiled again, "Although my cultivation level is not high now, who can predict what will happen in the future?"
Both Zhao Yushi and Miss Shen Xian thought about Lin Bai's words carefully, and were somewhat moved by Lin Bai.
This is an extremely complex web of relationships.
The relationship between the royal family has always been extremely complicated.
Five thousand years ago, before Prince Hong's Mansion was destroyed, His Royal Highness Chen Wang, as the prince, made good friends with Miss Shen Xian and Prince Hong's Mansion.
After the fall of Prince Hong's Mansion, it was His Royal Highness Chen who pleaded for Prince Hong's Mansion in front of Emperor Chu repeatedly, and was able to save Shen Xian's life.
This is already a kindness.
In this kind of kindness, Miss Shen Xian and Lin Bai will both recognize and remember it.
But for a treacherous person like Zhao Yushi, kindness and hatred are not so important in their eyes.
In the eyes of the insidious, they are only interested in winning or losing, only in achieving their goals.
Enmity and hatred are not so important.
Therefore, Zhao Yushi was negotiating conditions with Lin Bai at this moment, and he did not consider His Royal Highness Chen's kindness to Prince Hong's Mansion at all.
Zhao Yushi saw that the conversation was almost over, so he glanced at Miss Shen Xian.
Although he didn't ask Miss Shen Xian what she meant, Zhao Yushi still hoped that Miss Shen Xian would pay attention in his eyes.
After all, the owner of Prince Hong's mansion at this moment is Miss Shen Xian.
Even if Zhao Yushi is extremely smart, in the final analysis... he is only a retainer of Prince Hong's residence, a counselor.
Chao Yushi said: "This matter is of great importance, please give us time to think about it, Lord Wolf."
"During this period, Prince Hong's Mansion will still help Lord Wolf to investigate Xia Jingzhi's whereabouts."
Lin Bai nodded, and knew that Prince Hong's Mansion would not agree so easily.
He also didn't expect Chao Yushi to give an answer now.
"Okay, then we'll take our leave." After speaking, Lin Bai turned around and left with the disciples of Tianshui Sect.
After Zhao Yushi and Miss Shen Xian sent away the disciples of Tianshui Sect, Chao Yushi said: "Princess, Lord Lang is trying to win over the power for His Royal Highness."
"Our Prince Hong's Mansion must think clearly before making a decision. This is related to the future of Prince Hong's Mansion."
Miss Shen Xian nodded slightly, with an expression of unbearable expression, "His Royal Highness Chen Wang is kind to Prince Hong's residence..."
Chao Yushi said: "In the face of life and death, what is kindness?"
