"Lord Lin, I heard that you have a daughter who is about to reach adulthood…"
Before Shui Rong could finish speaking, Lin Ruhai also understood Shui Rong's intentions. No wonder Mo 'er was so agitated. This brat had come with ill intentions.
"My daughter is still young, so I want to stay by my side for a few more years.”Lin Ruhai's expression was not good. His words blocked the water.
Shui Rong wasn't angry." Lord Lin, don't be in a hurry to refuse."”
"What is Duke Beijing planning?”Lin Mo raised his voice.
"I've long heard of Miss Lin's beautiful name.'A fair and graceful lady is a gentleman's soul'. I've only come because of her reputation.”Shui Rong said calmly.
"Worship?" Lin Mo laughed instead of getting angry." I don't believe you! My sister is in her boudoir, and she doesn't leave the door. How did your highness hear of her good name? Did that big-faced child of the Jia family say something to you?”
Shui Rong was stunned when he heard that." Big Face Treasure?”Then, she reacted." You mean Baoyu?”Shui Rong immediately burst into laughter. This Lin Mo was very interesting.
Lin Ruhai also sized up Shui Rong with a scrutinizing gaze. What was Prince Beijing planning? Was she trying to use marriage to tie them together?
"Your highness, my daughter is still young. I hope your highness won't force her.”Lin Ruhai lowered his attitude and said sincerely.
"Lord Lin, do you think that Little Wang is a person who would force others to do something difficult?”Shui Rong was still very calm.
"Lord Lin is very clear about the current situation in the court. The First Prince Yun Jin Tian is the Empress's son, but he has been weak since he was young and has a gentle personality.”Shui Rong's tone was very different from his usual gentle tone.
"But the Third Prince Yun Jinxuan is the son of Imperial Concubine Han. Imperial Concubine Han's mother's family is illustrious, and Yun Jinxuan has a domineering and violent personality.”Without waiting for Lin Ruhai to refute, Shui Rong continued to speak.
"Imperial Concubine Han's father, Han Qi, is the current minister of the court. He has power in the court. How could he tolerate a prince who has been weak since he was young to sit on the crown prince's seat?”
" Your Highness, what you said…" Lin Ruhai did not make any comment.
"Zimo will definitely talk to Lord Lin about my plans.”Shui Rong wholeheartedly wanted to rope in Lin Ruhai and his son, so he wasn't afraid of telling them the truth.
" Your Highness is so rebellious. Aren't you afraid of me…" Lin Ruhai was shocked. Mo 'er was right. Prince Beijing really had the intention to take the throne.
"Little Wang is sincerely here to seek cooperation, so we should treat each other with sincerity. The current Emperor is naturally suspicious. Didn't Lord Lin encounter this a few times?”
Lin Ruhai's expression changed. Everyone thought that he was an important official of the emperor and had been a salt inspector for many years. However, he had already been poisoned and assassinated several times. Although he had luckily escaped, according to Lin Ruhai's secret investigation, these encounters seemed to be the actions of the palace. Whether it was the emperor's intention or not was unknown.
"I don't know what your highness is talking about!”Lin Ruhai had been immersed in officialdom for many years, so how could he be persuaded by Shui Rong's words?
"Even if what your highness said is true, what does this have to do with my sister?”After listening for a long time, Lin Mo realized that this Dream of the Red Chamber was very different from the Dream of the Red Chamber he knew.
"This is indeed something that Little Wang has admired for a long time.”Shui Rong did not know how to say it. Recently, he had been having a strange dream. In the dream, he was still an idle prince in Yunqi Country. In his life, he only had one princess named Dai Yu. She was the beloved daughter of Lin Ruhai, the salt inspector.
However, Lin Mo was not in the dream, and Lin Ruhai died of illness in the end, so…
But would Lin Ruhai believe this? And where did this Lin Mo come from?
Lin Mo saw that Shui Rong was deep in thought." Your Highness, are you not going to tell anyone about your thoughts?”
Shui Rong was in deep thought when he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Mo." Zimo, I sincerely came to beg Lord Lin's beloved daughter. It has nothing to do with the court."”
"Your highness thinks that father and I are children and that you will believe us with just a few words?”Lin Mo laughed." Your Highness, you came here to ask us to help you rule the world. In the end, you even asked to marry my sister. Sima Zhao's intentions are clear. Why are you still pretending?”
Shui Rong muttered to himself, not knowing how to explain. It seemed like today was not a good day, and there was no way to explain everything clearly.
"Your Highness, please return!" Lin Ruhai began to order them to leave. Even though he was already very suspicious, he could not decide anything based on a few words from Shui Rong.
" Lord Lin…" Shui Rong wanted to say something, but Lin Ruhai cupped his hands." Your Highness, please!"”
" It seems that I have been rude today. I hope that you will consider it carefully." Shui Rong knew that he could not negotiate today, so he did not say much and cupped his hands to bid farewell.
" Father, this…" Lin Mo wanted to say something, but Lin Ruhai waved his hand." Mo 'er, you can leave first. Let me think about it."”
Seeing this, Lin Mo retreated. He also needed to digest and carefully study the current situation.
The original 'Dream of the Red Chamber' only talked about romance. There was very little talk about the country and the world. There was even less talk about the Prince of Beijing, Shui Rong. Lin Mo needed to understand it himself.
Lin Ruhai sat in the living room and did not move. Yes, he had been the salt inspector for so many years. He had indeed been poisoned and assassinated a few times. He had also investigated in secret and the clues pointed to the palace. However, he could not investigate further. Could it really be the current Emperor?
But why did His Majesty do this? Lin Ruhai couldn't figure it out.
Or was Prince Beijing lying? He said this because he wanted her to be used by him!
"Father, it's time for dinner." Lin Mo entered and saw that Lin Ruhai was still thinking.
Eating was the most important thing in the world. Lin Mo couldn't think of a reason for this at the moment, so he ordered someone to light the lamp." Sister, please go down and bring Father's and my dishes here."”Lin Ruhai's maid Ru Yue replied.
"Mo 'er, what do you think?"
Lin Mo thought for a while and said," What Prince Beijing said is very likely. Father was poisoned and assassinated. There's no need for the princes in the palace to do this."”
" But I have always been loyal to His Majesty. I have no selfish desires. Why…"
"Perhaps all of this is just on the surface. Father has always been on the outside, and the struggle between the princes in the capital for the crown prince has been going on for a long time.”Lin Mo analyzed.
Lin Ruhai remained silent…
