Chapter 1018: Anti-blackmail

Guo Xu will be suspicious of Lin Jue's words, he doesn't believe Lin Jue's words, but he can't find an obvious loophole. Lin Jue admitted that he was offering medicine in order to be able to soar, and he did not rule out the possibility that he did not have a prescription, which was a gambling mentality. With Lin Jue's courage, he might really dare to do this. But Guo Xu also felt that this was Lin Jue's excuse to deceive himself, he knew that it was impossible for him to go to his father to expose the matter, so he opened his mouth, which is also possible.

Guo Xu's purpose today is obvious, Guo Xu knows his father's illness better than anyone else. His father's lung disease is getting worse and worse, and it has no effect to ask famous doctors, although his father tried his best to hide the news, but Guo Xu already knew the news. When Guo Xu learned that his father's condition improved after Lin Jue's medicine, Guo Xu's first reaction was to grab the medicine, so that the follow-up things would be much easier. The medicine is in his own hands, which is almost equivalent to controlling the life and death of his father, such a beneficial thing, of course he has to do it. Therefore, originally he and Lin Jue had already torn their faces, and there was no possibility of reconciliation with each other, but he still decided to ask Lin Jue for this prescription. Because, it's too important to yourself.

He didn't even tell his grandfather Lu Zhongtian about this, he knew that his grandfather would definitely not agree to do this. My grandfather hated Lin Jue to the core, and he would never spare Lin Jue. He pretended to make a promise after Lu Zhongtian, which was to deceive Lin Jue into handing over the prescription. But he knew that Lu Zhongtian would not agree to spare Lin Jue. But if you can get a prescription, even if you break your promise and kill Lin Jue, then what? Promises are meaningless, and the most important thing to do is to actually take advantage of the situation. This is the truth that Guo Xu recently realized. Sometimes, I still care too much about the eyes of others and are not ruthless enough. Many things are actually bad in their own hands. So he's going to make a change.

But now, Lin Jue said that there was no prescription at all, which was a tricky thing. If there is really no prescription, my trip will not be in vain. If my grandfather knew that he had come to make a deal with Lin Jue again, and he was hiding it from him, I was afraid that he would be reprimanded and dissatisfied again. What's even more troublesome is that if Lin Jue is aware of his intentions, it will be a little unworthy. Although it is impossible for Lin Jue to come up with any tricks with these three words, it is not a good thing to expose some secrets that should not be known to Lin Jue.

"There is no prescription, you always have the pill. Give the pill in your hand to the king. Guo Xu made a final effort. There is no prescription, there is a pill. The same effect can be achieved.

Lin Jue was speechless, Guo Xu was a thief, and he refused to give up today.

"Your Highness, there are only more than 100 pills, only a month's amount, and I have already dedicated them all to the emperor. A month later, the emperor recovered from his illness, otherwise I would still be worried about what to do. Lin Jue sighed.

"All dedicated to my father? Don't have any left? Even if there is only one left, it will be done. The king can ask a famous doctor to study the type and ratio of his medicine, and restore the prescription. It's good for my father's illness, and it's good for you. Otherwise, after a month, what will you do? Isn't the crime of deceitful king? Guo Xu frowned.

Lin Jue spread his hands and said, "None of them are gone, why don't Your Highness go down and ask the emperor for one?" But I'd advise you not to do that. Although I don't know the art of orpiment, I also understand that after the medicine is boiled, it will merge and change, and give birth to new healing things. If you want to restore it, it will be very difficult. If you are not careful, the prescription is not right, and the medicine you make cannot be eaten. Medicine can't be taken casually, and it's medicine for the emperor. Your Highness is hasty in doing it, I am afraid that there are hidden worries. Naturally, I hope to restore the prescription, which is also good for me, but I can't take the emperor's illness to me. That's the crime of killing all over the house and destroying the nine clans. Even if I have medicine, I don't dare to give it to His Highness to restore it, which has a lot to do with me. ”

Lin Jue's words dashed Guo Xu's last glimmer of hope. Indeed, he admitted that pills alone were useless, and even if they did, he could not ask his father for them. That's going to involve a lot of other things. His father's illness is a secret, and Lin Jue's offering of medicine is also a secret, and going to ask for pills by himself is equivalent to telling his father that he has his own eyes and ears by his side. Is that worth it? Maybe you can get someone to secretly take one out, but it must not be easy. The father and emperor of the pills were all carried close to him, and no one was allowed to touch them. It's better not to take this risk. Especially in the current situation.

But today's futile, Guo Xu was very reluctant. He extremely suspected that all this was Lin Jue's prevarication. Lin Jue refused to cooperate, and he was helpless. The last trace of co-opting and exploiting this kid may not be there. Guo Xu was both annoyed and hated in his heart.

"Lin Jue, this king knows, because of that incident, you are very dissatisfied with this king. But you also have to weigh the pros and cons. Is it better for you to continue to fight against this king, or is it better for you to release your previous suspicions with this king? You are angry for a moment, and you turn your face with this king for the sake of a concubine, do you think it's worth it? Besides, this king released him unscathed, and this king even knew that you kidnapped Lu Tianci, but this king did not pursue it. You should have also asked your concubine and the young man from your Lin family. Has this king ever been rude to them? Eat well, drink well, serve well, and don't touch them at all, this is the king's respect for you. This king values you, so he is polite to them. Otherwise, if the king kills them, what will you do? Kill Lu Tianci? Can you leave a living mouth in your Lin family? ”

Guo Xu suddenly soothed his tone, and suddenly showed affection to Lin Juexiao, and moved him with reason.

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Huai, what you said is right. But you kidnapped them first, and you did something offensive to me first, and I had to fight back. Could it be that His Highness still wants me to thank you. ”

Guo Xu shook his head and said, "This king didn't mean that. You are also a smart person who knows that sometimes you have to do something that you don't want to do. This is called involuntarily, and the situation is pressing. You don't want to kill, but someone else wants to kill you, so what should you do? Stretching your neck for someone to kill? That's no joke. The best thing to do is to take the knife first and kill the other person first. Of course, this analogy is not appropriate, what this king means is that this king has the difficulties of this king, and this king sometimes acts involuntarily and has no way. Well, it's useless to say too much. What this king means is that I still have a great affection for you, and I hope that we will not become enemies. But if you force me to kill you, then I can only put away my appreciation and kill you. You know what I mean? ”

Lin Jueyan can not understand, Guo Xu's words, that is really an ultimatum. He actually spoke his mind. When he becomes an obstacle to his ascension to the throne, he will surely kill himself. These words are more real and more real than the empty threats that preceded them.

When a person has a heart-to-heart relationship with you, there are two possibilities. One is that you will become a community of interests, and you will come together for the same purpose. Another possibility is that you have lost each other and will never have any cross-sections. When someone like Guo Xu has a heart-to-heart with you, either you have to obey him quickly, or he really wants to kill you.

"Your Highness, Lin Jue understands what you mean, Lin Jue doesn't actually blame you. Sometimes people really can't help themselves. This is true of all kinds of things in the world. Even if it is a small grass, it must strive to survive, strive to sprout and grow, extend to the place where the sun shines, and compete for nutrients in the land. If he doesn't work hard, he will become rotten fertilizer and nutrients for other flowers, trees, and plants. Human beings are the primates of all things, and nature must do everything possible to survive. So, I understand what you're doing. However, Your Highness must not forget that people are different from animals, plants and trees, and people are virtuous, courteous, righteous and shameful. So people will use these to restrain their behavior. This is what the ancient sages said: 'benevolent people love others', 'do something and do nothing', 'sacrifice life for righteousness', 'there is no hardship, and righteousness is not lost'. This means that people still have to have a human integrity and demeanor to distinguish them from animals, plants, and trees. When a person is desperate for the sake of an end, he is in fact disqualified as a human being. Your Highness, you should still read more. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Guo Xu's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "If you are in my situation, what should you do?" Who wouldn't say the truth? What did I not do? I do what I have to do. ”

Lin Jue said: "At least I won't be angry with others because of my incompetence, and I won't ignore the overall situation of the court and use the strategy of driving away the wolf to calculate my own brother." Your Highness, your plan to use the hands of the bandits to destroy the Jingbei counterinsurgency army is not clever. Don't be smart. ”

Guo Xu was shocked and speechless. Although he understood that there were indeed some flaws in that plan, Mr. Changqing also pointed out this afterwards and offered suggestions to make up for it. But at this moment, Lin Jue pointed it out in person, which still shocked Guo Xu. Lin Jue is terrible, he knows everything, he understands everything. The existence of this man is indeed the greatest threat to himself. I don't know if he said it in front of the emperor, if he said it, his father would definitely understand, and then he would be finished.

"Lin Jue, you know too much. It's not a good thing for people to be too smart. Guo Xu sneered.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, His Royal Highness King Huai, I won't talk nonsense." But if something happens to my family, I will tell the emperor. ”

"Dare, you threaten me? What evidence do you have? Will your father listen to you? Guo Xu shouted.

"Your Highness, this is not a threat, this is a deal. It was His Highness who threatened the lives of me and my Lin family, and I was as involuntary as Your Majesty. In the past, I may not have been able to get close to the emperor, but now I can see the emperor whenever I want. Say something I want to say to the emperor. Yes, I don't have conclusive evidence, but there are some things that don't need evidence, especially when Your Highness wants to get the crown prince, as long as the emperor has a little suspicion and a trace of belief, His Royal Highness will have no chance with the throne in this life. Therefore, Your Highness, don't come to provoke me, and I won't come to harm Your Highness's affairs, this is called entering the water and not violating the river water. As for the matter of the crown prince, that has nothing to do with me. I can promise you not to get involved in this. That's the only thing I can do. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
