Qiu Shou's phone call changed Xiao Zheng's itinerary. He was about to board a plane back to China, but he walked out of the airport and dialed Old Lin's number.
"Hello."
Old Lin's familiar and warm voice came from the other end of the phone. No, the voice was still the same cold and quiet voice, but in Xiao Zheng's ears, it sounded particularly warm and comfortable.
After all, he hadn't seen Old Lin for nearly ten days. For the couple who stayed together all year round, it was definitely a long time.
"I was about to board the plane." Xiao Zheng carried his luggage and paced outside the airport. "I suddenly received a very scary news. So I plan to stay for a few more days. "
"Is it serious?" Lin Huayin asked with concern on the other end of the phone.
She knew Xiao Zheng's personality well.
Since they had agreed on a time to go home, the sudden change must be because of a major incident.
"It's considered very serious." Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and asked with pursed lips. "Is everything okay at home?"
"It's fine." Lin Huayin urged. "Don't worry about this. You, on the other hand, act cautiously. Safety first. "
The trip to Moscow left a psychological shadow in Lin Huayin's heart. She didn't care about anything else now, as long as Xiao Zheng was safe.
"I will." Xiao Zheng nodded and sighed. "You too, don't work too hard. Rest when it's time to rest. Understand? "
"Mhmm."
After a simple conversation, Lin Huayin took the initiative to hang up the phone.
This was also the tacit understanding between the two of them over the years.
And the phone bill to cultivate this tacit understanding was something that Xiao Zheng believed ordinary people definitely couldn't afford. Once, their phone was kept open for a full 24 hours, but no one noticed …
When Xiao Zheng got out of the taxi and stood on the bustling commercial street again, he suddenly felt like he had returned to his overseas life.
One person, one suitcase.
There was a dangerous and exciting task in his mind.
He didn't know when he could finish it, and he didn't know when he could return.
He quietly hid in the darkness and waited in silence.
Waiting for the enemy to appear!
This was the situation that Xiao Zheng was about to face.
He hid himself in the darkness and silently watched for any possible danger. At the same time, he gathered all his strength and prepared to fight with his life on the line!
At this moment, Xiao Zheng's heart was in a mess.
Not only could he not maintain his composure, but he was also a little angry.
This was not the safe situation outlined by His Majesty Ling Lai!
His Majesty lied to Xiao Zheng and did not tell the truth.
As the person involved, Xiao Zheng did not believe that His Majesty Ling Lai knew nothing about it. Even if they didn't know the exact truth, they should have received some news.
Otherwise, she would be too incompetent as the Heavenly Emperor.
He had piled up all the lies and unhappiness, and he and His Majesty Ling Lai did not have that romantic night.
Xiao Zheng might not return in time because of Qiu Shou's words.
The feeling of being cheated was really unpleasant.
Being deceived and used was even more infuriating.
But now, Xiao Zheng had to step forward.
This should be done for both public and private reasons.
However, he didn't do it so happily, and he didn't take it for granted.
"Who will the Zhao family send?"
Outside the window, Xiao Zheng, who was in a suit, lit a cigarette and stared coldly at the neon lights in the distance.
…
Prince Miyamoto was in a very bad mood.
And the one who made him feel bad was none other than His Majesty Ling Lai, who was sitting in front of him.
But at this moment, he had to sit in front of His Majesty Ling Lai.
Because he wanted to fight for the best situation.
Not to vent his personal anger!
What was the best situation? It was not like what His Majesty Ling Lai said, to be a lackey of the cabinet.
In fact, Prince Miyamoto was very clear about his position. First of all, he was a member of the royal family. Secondly, he had reached a relationship of interest with the cabinet.
If he really became a lackey, even if one day he dragged His Majesty Ling Lai down and stepped on Ling Lai's shoulders to rise to the throne.
That situation would be too passive. He would also be criticized by his family.
After all, although His Majesty Ling Lai was ambitious and wanted to reach into the cabinet. But her starting point was from the perspective of the royal family, which was admirable.
From Prince Miyamoto's point of view, he must grasp the scale well.
Otherwise, he was very likely to become a traitor of the royal family. He would be despised by others.
At that time, he would rise to the throne and gain the full support of the cabinet. In the royal family, he would also lose the trust of his family.
Public opinion.
The grassroots needed it, and so did the pyramid. Or even more.
The will of the people was the way of the king.
At least, His Majesty Ling Lai had the initiative in this regard.
"Your Majesty. I believe you have seen the situation in front of you very clearly. "Prince Miyamoto sat upright, showing basic respect for the emperor.
His Majesty Ling Lai took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "See what?" "Imperial Uncle, not everyone is willing to be a lackey. At least, I, Ling Lai, disdain to do so. "
Prince Miyamoto pursed his lips and said, "I don't agree with Your Majesty." "The royal family has long lost its influence. Even Your Majesty, you are only in the form of a symbol, powerless to exist. "
"There is an old saying in Hua Xia that a good bird chooses a tree to nest in. Since we have lost the initiative, we must make the necessary gesture and take the initiative to form a good relationship with the cabinet. Not — "Prince Miyamoto narrowed his eyes slightly. "Pull out the butcher's knife."
His Majesty Ling Lai squinted his eyes and glanced at Prince Miyamoto, saying coldly, "Imperial Uncle, I don't quite understand what you mean. Of course, I don't want to hear you explain the so-called humility. What I want to do and what I am doing. It's all for the interests of the royal family. Not like you, who betrayed the royal family and became a lackey for your own selfish desire. "
"But the path I chose is the right one." Prince Miyamoto was repeatedly verbally humiliated by His Majesty Ling Lai, and his expression gradually became cold. "If we follow your Majesty's way, sooner or later, our family will be destroyed."
What bullshit for the interests of the royal family?
Aren't you, Ling Lai, also for your own selfish desire?
Is it enough to say nice words? Only the real interests in your hands are the real ones!
Obviously, Emperor Xiaoyao, who was respected by thousands of people, refused to do it and insisted on going against the powerful cabinet. Isn't that courting death?
"All these years, the royal family has been kneeling in front of the dignitaries, struggling at death's door." His Majesty Ling Lai slowly stood up. He said word by word. "Now that the royal power is in my hands, I will not allow the dignitaries to continue to be presumptuous. At least, I want my family to live with dignity, instead of wagging their tails and begging for mercy! "
Bang!
Prince Miyamoto patted the teacup and suddenly stood up, saying, "Your Majesty, you are walking on a dead end!"
"Your way is not necessarily a way to live!" His Majesty Ling Lai did not yield an inch.
Prince Miyamoto sneered and asked, "Only the living are qualified to discuss whether this is a way to live or a dead end. Isn't it? "
After a short pause, Prince Miyamoto said indifferently, "Your Majesty, I wish you a long life. May you live as long as the heaven! "
