Ruyi Building

In the next two days, Lin Jiangnian felt quite free.

When he got up in the morning, the servants who came to serve Lin Jiangnian were replaced by the two maids from before. From the maids, they learned that Xiaozhu did not dare to come.

I heard that he was called away by Zhiyuan.

Lin Jiangnian naturally knew the reason. Zhiyuan made it clear that he wanted to protect the little maid, and at the same time, it was also a kind of... provocation to him, the heir to the throne?

Now that Lin Jiangnian's status is not stable, he is not qualified to compete with her yet, so he does not plan to continue arguing with her.

I’ll keep this account in mind for now!

Change clothes, wash up, eat!

After breakfast, Lin Jiangnian wandered around the palace at will. While walking, he wrote down the routes of various large and small buildings in the palace. Located at the foot of the mountain, the palace is not only huge, with many people, but also has unique scenery.

It was also one of the most spectacular in the entire Daning Dynasty. After one lap, Lin Jiangnian couldn't even complete half of the palace.

However, Lin Jiangnian found out the location of the Scripture Pavilion in the palace from the mouth of the maid in the palace.

Located between two mountains, under the majestic mountains, the water from the mountains formed several rivers. The rivers eventually converged to form a huge pool. The pool is thousands of meters deep and has no bottom. It is called Sun Moon Lake.

Above the water pool, there is a pavilion in the sky. The pavilion has seven floors. It is beautifully decorated and towering. Outside the pavilion, there are also expert guards surrounding the area to guard and keep it.

This is the place where Linwangfu's Sutra Collection Pavilion is located.

Ruyilou!

It is said that the name of Ruyi Tower came from the fact that Lin Hengzhong, the king of Lin, met an expert when he was traveling around the world in his early years. Under the guidance of the expert, he suddenly had some enlightenment. Later, when he built an attic, he named it Ruyi Tower, which means that he wishes everything he wants!

In this Ruyi Building, there are collected martial arts secrets, secrets, unique skills, peerless weapons, rare herbs and pills, the world's martial arts strategies, and even the art of war and national strategy that have been collected by the palace over the years...

The entire building is all-encompassing, like a treasure chest, with everything you need, collecting countless treasures from all over the world.

There have been rumors all over the world that Ruyi Tower contains treasures of rare medicinal herbs that are unimaginable in the world!

Fifteen years ago, King Lin led his army to quell the rebellion in Miao territory, annihilating the Miao royal family and wiping away all the treasures in the Miao palace.

It is said that the soil in the Miao Territory is fertile, and all kinds of rare treasures in the world, as well as all kinds of rare medicinal herbs that are almost extinct, grow and grow. And the royal family of the Miao Territory have been good at medicine and poison making for generations.

When the Miao Kingdom fell, all the treasures of the Miao royal family returned to Prince Lin's Mansion. It is said that after Lin Hengzhong collected these rare treasures, he stored them in Ruyi Tower.

Lin Jiangnian was a little moved when he heard the news.

In addition to martial arts secrets, Lin Jiangnian is also more interested in those rare medicinal herbs!

Now he still has the poison poisoned by the woman in red in his body, threatening his life at any time. This poison is difficult to detect and difficult to remove.

Ordinary antidotes may not be effective at all. If this Ruyi Tower is really as rumored as it is, containing rare herbs and pills from all over the world, maybe we can find an antidote to the poison?

However, after a brief excitement, Lin Jiangnian quickly calmed down!

Although he knew about the existence of Ruyi Tower, there was another problem before him.

How to enter Ruyi Building?

As the prince of Prince Lin, it is naturally not difficult to enter and exit Ruyi Tower.

But the problem is...

In the past, Prince Lin was not interested in Ruyi Tower. In the eyes of Prince Lin, the treasures collected in Ruyi Tower were not even as interesting as the forbidden books in the room.

Therefore, for so many years, Prince Lin has almost never set foot in Ruyi Tower.

Lin Jiangnian found out this from the maid in the house. As a result, things became a bit tricky.

Prince Lin almost never went to Ruyi Tower. If Lin Jiangnian went there rashly, it would be difficult not to attract attention. Especially about the paper kite... She would probably suspect something at the first moment.

Therefore, although Lin Jiangnian was anxious, he also knew that things could not be rushed.

If he wants to enter Ruyi Tower in a fair and open manner, he needs a pretext, a reason that is reasonable and will not attract attention and suspicion!

…

Unable to enter Ruyi Tower for the time being, Lin Jiangnian was not idle. He took advantage of these two days to get to know the palace well, remembering the faces of many people in the palace, and at the same time, he also learned more news.

Information about Prince Lin's Mansion and the current situation of the Daning Dynasty.

The situation in the palace is simple. Princess Lin died young, and King Lin did not take any more wives or concubines. Prince Lin has no brothers or sisters. As the only son of King Lin, he can be said to enjoy the right time, place, and people.

The pinnacle of life.

If nothing unexpected happens, if King Lin dies in the future, the son of King Lin will be hereditary and replace him as a matter of course. Just like King Xu of Xuzhou in the north, he will continue to inherit the Lin family's territory in Linzhou.

It's a pity that the princes of Linwang were too short-lived, and they actually took advantage of Lin Jiangnian.

As for the current structure of the Daning Dynasty, it can be said to be extremely complicated!

Although the dynasty was nominally unified, in a strict sense, local forces had too much power and seriously hindered the centralization of power.

In particular, the two kings with different surnames in the north and south were the most powerful. King Lin, who was entrenched in Linzhou, and King Xu in Xuzhou in the north were collectively called the kings of the north and south. The two kings with different surnames supported their troops and respected themselves, which caused great trouble to the dynasty.

Hidden danger.

In recent years, the imperial court has been trying its best to weaken the military power in the hands of these two people, and even reduce the vassal status.

But the effect is minimal!

Investigating the reason, in addition to the huge power of the two kings with different surnames and their inability to be shaken easily, there are also huge reasons within the imperial court.

A few years ago, the emperor of the Daning Dynasty suddenly fell seriously ill and could not recover for a long time. After ordering the prince to supervise the country, the emperor went into seclusion in the palace and rarely appeared in public in the past few years.

In the court, although the prince has good abilities, he is still weak and unable to preside over the overall situation. There are undercurrents of various forces in the court and it is difficult to work together.

In addition, when the emperor was in seclusion, there was a very trustworthy eunuch beside him, who was responsible for conveying the emperor's will. The eunuch in the palace himself had no power, but he might be worried about his misfortune, or he might be monitoring the court. The emperor

Before retreating into seclusion, he handed over the power of the Mitiansi of the dynasty to him.

With the power of Mitiansi, the power of the eunuchs has also grown day by day, and has gradually affected the situation in the court.

As a result, the eunuchs gradually disrupted the government!

Nowadays, the structure of the dynasty can be regarded as a three-part world, with the princeling as the leader, the old eunuch in charge of the Tiansi, and the two dynasties constraining each other, confronting each other, and fighting openly and secretly.

The structure of the Daning Dynasty has nothing to do with Lin Jiangnian. The only thing he cares about is the eldest princess of the dynasty.

After all, she has a marriage contract with Prince Lin.

Lin Jiangnian didn't know much about the origin of the eldest princess. He only knew a little about it from Xu Lan's previous words.

The marriage between the Daning Dynasty and the marriage of the eldest princess to Prince Lin's son was obviously a form of wooing.

However, it is not clear whether it is to win over someone or for some other purpose. Political marriages usually have deep meanings behind them!

What Lin Jiangnian is interested in is not the eldest princess, but what Xu Lan mentioned...that the eldest princess is a master of the second-grade Tianxuan realm?

How strong is the second-grade Tianxuan?

Lin Jiangnian didn't have much idea, but he thought that no one like Xu Lan, a low-ranking ninth-level person, could touch porcelain.

Lin Jiangnian wanted to know more, but found that no one could answer his questions in this regard.

The woman in red still hasn't come back, and the maids and maids in the house don't know anything about martial arts. As for asking Zhiyuan?

That’s not realistic!

The only person who might be able to solve Lin Jiangnian's doubts is probably...Xu Lan?

However, since what happened that day, Xu Lan has not been seen for two days.

It seemed that what happened that day had a big psychological impact on her. She did not come to the palace again, but she did not break her promise and did not expose Lin Jiangnian's identity.

The two maintained a delicate balance, holding each other's hand and maintaining a tacit understanding.

However, this is also good!

Just when Lin Jiangnian thought that the girl would not dare to come again in a short time.

After two days of absence, Xu Lan came to visit me again.

…

Lin Jiangnian was somewhat surprised when he saw Xu Lan again.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't this girl come?"

Xu Lan crossed her arms and glanced sideways at him, her eyes filled with disdain and the arrogance of this girl.

Familiar expression, familiar savage tone.

"Okay, of course."

Lin Jiangnian spread his hands and glanced at her, slightly amused: "Then what's the point of Miss Xu coming here today?"

"Of course I'll settle the score with you!"

Xu Lan sneered, her eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, as if she thought of something, a complex emotion flashed through her.

She stared at Lin Jiangnian condescendingly and sneered: "Don't you think that what happened in the past two days can be forgotten like this?"

Lin Jiangnian was startled, and looked up at Xu Lan's unwilling expression, a little confused: "Did anything happen in the past two days?"
