The marriage contract between Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian was a delaying strategy between Emperor Chu and Miss Shen Xian during the hunt.
Lin Bai originally planned to ask Emperor Chu to terminate his engagement with Miss Shen Xian after Emperor Chu's birthday ended and the turmoil subsided.
The mission of Prince Hong's Palace has never changed. Their real enemy is not the third prince, but Prince Liang's Palace.
Just like Chao Yushi said... Whether His Highness Prince Chen or the Third Prince is the Emperor of Chu, there is not much difference to Prince Hong's Mansion.
Their enemy is neither His Highness Prince Chen nor the Third Prince, but Prince Liang's Mansion.
According to Chao Yushi's many years of investigation, Prince Hong's Palace was destroyed five thousand years ago, and the shadow of Prince Liang's Palace was behind it.
And this rumor is not groundless. Prince Hong's Palace was one of the best palaces in Chu State five thousand years ago.
After the destruction of Prince Hong's Palace, Prince Liang's Palace was able to assume great power within the Chu State's military department and become a powerful palace that dominates the government and the public today.
Chao Yushi had a gloomy face, but after a while, a smile appeared on his face, "I am very curious, what method did His Highness Prince Chen use to make Lord Lang so determined to help him ascend to the throne?"
When Lin Bai heard this, he did not continue to pretend, but told him bluntly.
"Three reasons."
"First, I have always been a close friend of His Highness Prince Chen. When he returned to the imperial capital, we met in Ziwei City."
"Mr. Chao already knows about this matter, right?"
Chao Yushi nodded repeatedly. Ever since Lin Bai became famous in the Chu Kingdom, almost all the major forces in the imperial capital were investigating Lin Bai's origins.
Chao Yushi was no exception. Especially after he made the engagement with Miss Shen Xian, Prince Hong's Mansion searched almost all eighteen generations of Lin Bai's ancestors.
Naturally, they also knew that Lin Bai came from the territory of Qitian Sect, and had met His Highness King Chen on the border of Chu State, and they had a good relationship with him.
Lin Bai continued: "The second reason is that I need to use the Chu Kingdom's path to go to the Seven Realms of Heaven."
Chao Yushi and Miss Chen Xian were both shocked, "Are you going to the Seven Realms of Heaven?"
After Miss Shen Xian exclaimed, she asked one more question, "Where are you going and what are you doing?"
"This is a battlefield of all realms. The elites from all the major territories, major realms, major families, and major sects are all fighting there!"
From Miss Shen Xian's point of view, the Seven Realms of Heaven are a huge battlefield. Anyone who steps into it will almost always escape death, and very few people can escape unscathed.
Lin Bai replied: "Of course I have my own ideas and my own things to do."
When Miss Chen Xian heard this, she stopped talking.
Only then did she understand what Lin Bai's plan was.
Lin Bai then said to Chao Yushi: "Tianshui Sect is kind to me. I promised Tianshui Sect to help them make a comeback."
Chao Yushi nodded again, and it was easy to understand the third reason.
Nowadays, the transfer of power to the Chu Kingdom's emperor is at a time of great confusion. If the Tianshui Sect makes the right bet and His Highness King Chen ascends the throne, the Tianshui Sect will naturally gain a lot of benefits.
A comeback is no longer a dream.
Chao Yushi said: "Then what benefits can our Prince Hong's Mansion get?"
Lin Bai said: "After His Highness Prince Chen ascends the throne, the first person he has to deal with is Prince Liang's Mansion. We have a common goal."
Chao Yushi smiled, "But after the third prince ascends the throne, he will also have to deal with Prince Liang's Mansion. We can also help the third prince."
"And judging from the current situation, it seems easier for the third prince to ascend to the throne."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Then how can you be sure that after the third prince has dealt with Prince Liang's Mansion, he will not casually destroy Prince Hong's Mansion as well?"
"Will the Third Prince 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 of Prince Hong's Mansion five thousand years ago reappear?"
Chao Yushi and Miss Shen Xian looked solemn upon hearing this.
What Lin Bai said was not groundless. If the third prince ascended the throne and destroyed Prince Liang's Palace, Prince Hong's Palace would definitely grow again.
At that time, it is very likely that the third prince will destroy Prince Hong's palace together.
Chao Yushi had a gloomy face, "Then how can we be sure that His Highness Prince Chen will not take action against Prince Hong's Palace after destroying Prince Liang's Palace?"
Lin Bai stretched out two fingers and said, "There are two reasons."
"First, Miss Shen Xian and His Highness Prince Chen have been friends for many years, and His Highness Prince Chen also knows about the grievances in Prince Hong's Mansion."
"If His Royal Highness Prince Chen ascends the throne, it will not only help Prince Hong's Mansion to redress the injustice, but also bring Prince Hong's Mansion back to the world."
"Second, I can guarantee that if His Highness Prince Chen comes to the throne and wants to deal with Prince Hong's Mansion, 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?"
Chao Yushi and Miss Shen Xian both thought carefully about Lin Bai's words and were somewhat moved by Lin Bai.
This is an extremely complex network of relationships.
The relationship between the royal family has always been extremely complicated.
Five thousand years ago, before the destruction of Prince Hong's Palace, His Highness Prince Chen, as the prince, had good relations with Miss Shen Xian and Prince Hong's Palace.
After the destruction of Prince Hong's Mansion, His Highness Prince Chen repeatedly interceded for Prince Hong's Mansion in front of Emperor Chu, and was able to save Miss Shen Xian's life.
This is already considered a favor.
This kind of kindness will be recognized and remembered by Miss Shen Xian and Lin Bai.
But for cunning people like Chao Yushi, kindness and hatred are not that important in their eyes.
In the eyes of cunning people, they are only interested in winning or losing, and only in achieving their goals.
Gratitude and hatred are not that important.
Therefore, when Chao Yushi was negotiating terms with Lin Bai at the moment, he did not consider His Highness Prince Chen's kindness to Prince Hong's Mansion at all.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Chao Yushi glanced at Miss Shen Xian.
Although he didn't mean to ask Miss Shen Xian, Chao Yushi's eyes still hoped that Miss Shen Xian would pay attention.
After all, the owner of Prince Hong's Mansion at the moment is Miss Shen Xian.
Even if Chao Yushi is extremely smart, in the final analysis... he is just a retainer of Prince Hong's Mansion and a counselor.
Chao Yushi said: "This matter is of great importance. Please give us time to think about it carefully."
"During this period, Prince Hong's Mansion will still help Lord Lang to investigate Xia Jingzhi's whereabouts."
Lin Bai nodded, knowing that it would not be easy for Prince Hong's Mansion to agree.
He didn't expect Chao Yushi to give an answer now.
"Okay, let's say goodbye then." After saying that, Lin Bai turned around and left with the Tianshui Sect disciples.
After Chao Yushi and Miss Shen Xian saw off the disciples of the Tianshui Sect, Chao Yushi said: "Princess, Lord Langhou is trying to attract power for His Highness Prince Chen."
"We, 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 a look of unbearable expression on her face, "His Royal Highness Prince Chen is kind to Prince Hong's Mansion..."
Chao Yushi said: "In the face of life and death, what does kindness mean?"
