Beauty and the Bodyguard

The brilliance of the limelight suddenly overwhelmed the menacing Exile Emperor, as well as Bai Shizu, who was highly praised by their inner court. It was really unbelievable!

 Such a character, no matter where he goes, no one can conceal his edge.

What's more, according to the established planning process, Lin Yi, as the first person to compete for hegemony, has the privilege of choosing artificial rules first.

 This point is very important.

 Under the announcement of the bodyguard, Lin Yi and everyone collectively paid homage to Emperor Zhou, but Emperor Zhou's mood was not so beautiful.

When he originally met Lin Yi, he was prepared to win over him. If there was a chance, he even wanted to help Lin Yi join his warship and become his right-hand man, becoming the second Wu Hou Wu Invincible.

 But now, Wu Wudi was defeated and was punished by the seven kings and suppressed in the sky prison. Whether he was killed or imprisoned, no conclusion has been reached yet.

No matter what kind of situation it is, it will be difficult for Wu Wudi to see the light of day again, let alone return to the court.

As the dignified Emperor of Zhou, not only could he not come forward to defend him, but he had to sever all ties as soon as possible!

 Otherwise, if the label of treason with the enemy is slapped off, and the King of Qin asks "Why did your majesty rebel?", he may even be forced to give up his only position as emperor.

 At that time, everything will really be over.

On the other hand, what makes Emperor Zhou feel even worse is that after today, all the heavyweight human rules that nominally belong to the entire inner court will be completely transferred from public to private, and will be transferred to the names of the seven kings and a group of powerful officials.

Before today, although he was a puppet, at least in name, everything still belonged to him.

Legally speaking, Emperor Zhou is the master of all state-owned assets and artificial rules!

Even if the actual control is not in his hands, this title is very important. As long as the title is there, theoretically he still has the possibility to take it back.

 But after today, he will have absolutely nothing.

Anyone with a discerning eye can already see that this move by the gods to eliminate man-made rules is certainly a catastrophe for the entire inner court, but at the same time, it is also an excellent opportunity for the seven kings and the powerful ministers and princes. Chance.

 A God-given opportunity to turn public into private.

It is true that even without this opportunity, the leading rights of those heavyweights on the candidate list have already been in the hands of the seven kings and princes. However, whether they have this title or not is completely different.

 After today, the Inner Royal Court will completely enter a new era.

It is foreseeable that Emperor Zhou, the nominal number one person in the imperial court, will be even more marginalized in the new era, or even lose his voice completely.

Even Lin Yi, an outsider who came to the Inner Court for the first time, could see this clearly.

 From the perspective of Si Nanjie, Emperor Zhou was very transparent.

Compared with Cheng Shuang'er, regardless of gender, Lin Yi probably couldn't tell who was the emperor and who was the maid for a while.

Zhou Tianzi forced a smile: "I have all seen your performance in the Hundred Sons Contest, especially Lin Shaoxia. It is really amazing to be able to drive away the Exile Emperor head-on. I am very happy for you."

Lin Yi bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, thank you."

 He could see that the emperor deliberately wanted to make good friends with him.

Now that Wu Wudi is in prison, Zhou Tianzi's camp is in urgent need of a new core general, and Lin Yi is the most ready-made and perfect candidate.

 Unfortunately, Lin Yi’s response was not enthusiastic.

Even without Si Nanjie’s prompting, as a new outsider, Lin Yi would never jump into the situation without seeing the situation clearly.

Now that Emperor Zhou is clearly doomed, Lin Yi is naturally even less likely to get on his ship.

Of course, it is one thing not to get on the ship, but it is another thing to take advantage of the situation and make some operations next. In any case, the identity of Emperor Zhou is here. No matter how puppet he is, he still has huge use value and will become invalid upon expiration.

Lin Yi’s gaze immediately shifted to the Seven Kings.

  In comparison, these seven figures who truly stood at the top of the inner court's power were much more solid from Si Nanjie's perspective.

 This means that, at least for the next period of time, these seven princes and kings will still maintain a huge influence on the entire inner court.

However, there are visible differences between the seven kings.

 The most solid person is the King of Qin.

This itself is not surprising at all. The power of the Qin Palace is the first of the seven palaces, and he himself is recognized as the top existence with the highest voice. It is even generally believed that he is the de facto number one person in the inner palace.

If the dynasty changes one day, there is no doubt that King Qin is the most likely person to ascend to the throne of emperor.

 But what left Lin Yi speechless was that Cheng Shuang'er's solidity was no worse than that of King Qin!

Had it not been for Jiang Xiaoshang's repeated assurances, Lin Yi would have almost definitely concluded that it was Sinan Jie who had a bug.

 A mere maid, with neither extraordinary strength nor strong background, can actually be as influential as the contemporary King of Qin in the future. Isn’t it funny?

Lin Yi immediately realized that if this was really not Si Nanjie's bug, Cheng Shuang'er, the maid who suddenly appeared, would be the most important card in his hand.

It’s just that how to hold this card in your hand and how to use it next needs to be carefully designed.

Feeling Lin Yi's gaze, King Qin glanced back.

 The eyes of both parties immediately met in the air.

 Suddenly, the whole world seemed to freeze.

The rest of the people showed playful expressions.

Lin Yi’s killing of King Qin’s clone was no longer a secret. Now that the two sides were facing each other, it might be like sparks colliding with the earth, and it was not impossible to take action directly if they disagreed.

 However, Lin Yi and King Qin immediately withdrew their gazes.

"That's it?"

Everyone was surprised and a little disappointed.

 Many of them have close relations with the Qin Palace, but many of them are on the opposite side of the Qin Palace.

 No matter what kind of situation, there is no shortage of people who just watch the fun and don’t take it too seriously.

If King Qin really fights with Lin Yi in public, whether King Qin crushes Lin Yi, a popular outsider, or Lin Yi is so strong that he defeats King Qin in front of him, it will be a surprise to everyone. It's a great conversation piece, and you can even make a profit out of it.

 It is a pity that Lin Yi and King Qin did not give them this opportunity.

Lin Yi's eyes moved away from King Qin and fell on the other seven kings, and he immediately felt the gap.

Although the level of solidification of the other seven kings is far higher than that of the others, they are obviously inferior to King Qin.

Lin Yi suddenly said in the sea of ​​consciousness: "By the way, can you quantify this thing? At least it can be more intuitive when you look at it?"
