If what Lin Ling did was to hand the queen a knife and find a shelter for herself by the way, then finding out the crane top red from Ayayin completely strengthened the queen mother's heart to bring down the eldest princess.

As the so-called motherhood is rigid, which mother would be indifferent to her child being hurt! Especially for first-time mothers like the queen mother, children are treasures that no one can hurt.

But of course, the queen didn't go directly to the eldest princess, after all, she is not an idiot, and in this kind of situation where there is a huge gap between the enemy and us, it is impossible to be hard, and it is impossible to be hard in this life.

Gou is the king!

In this way, the queen & Emperor Jing VS the eldest princess drama officially kicked off, and Emperor Jing, who was about to become a mascot on his own, finally began to recover his disadvantages in the court little by little after getting the help of the queen's mother, and slowly pried the power out of the hands of the eldest princess.

This is undoubtedly a long tug-of-war, and after 8 years of resistance...... Ah, after eight years of struggle, Emperor Jing finally achieved the achievement of being on par with the eldest princess, and the factions in the court are basically divided into two factions: the emperor faction and the princess faction, as well as a small number of neutral factions that do not help each other but have not weak strength.

Among them, the struggle between the emperor faction and the princess faction has also entered a state of incompatibility, so the atmosphere in the imperial capital has become more and more solemn recently, no one knows when the final battle will break out between these two bigwigs, and no one knows whether they will become victims in this battle.

And it is in this situation that everyone is in danger, in the courtyard of the Imperial Capital Prime Minister's Mansion, there is a game that is going on quietly.

The age difference between the two players is obviously much different, one looks to be a child under 10 years old, and the other is obviously a middle-aged man in his 40s.

Both of them are dressed relatively simply, and they are much older next year, but the scene of this game has an indescribable sense of harmony, which makes people not feel weird at all.

Looking at the scene on the chessboard, the black and white pieces are scattered on it, but the gap is very obvious. Even a newcomer who has just learned Go can see that Kuroko is in an extremely disadvantageous state at this moment, while Shiroko is obviously unstoppable.

Even so, as the person who held the sunspot, the child, who was less than 10 years old, still did not have any panic, and still had a faint smile on his face. His eyes were dark and clear, but with a maturity and calmness that should not have been.

He seemed to be thinking, and after a while, he finally fell behind.

"Click-"

The eyes of the middle-aged man playing against him also fell, and he fell on the one with a slightly puzzled expression. Because it was really an extremely ordinary piece, the position where that piece fell did not seem to change the whole game at all.

But is that really the case?

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and after thinking for a few minutes, he also fell behind.

"Click-"

"Click-"

This time, the child fell very quickly, as if he had long expected what the middle-aged man would do.

And after seeing this fall, the middle-aged man's expression finally changed, but there was a kind of suddenness.

Because it was after this one that the situation of the whole chessboard changed. Baizi, who was originally in his hands to win, was directly beheaded by the big dragon, and Kuroko, who was at a disadvantage, turned over and became the master in an instant.

Neither spoke, and the two continued to play.

Finally, the child who had left a son behind again smiled softly, "Li Xiang, you lost." ”

"Wechen did lose, His Highness's chess strength is so strong, Wechen is far inferior." The middle-aged man or the leader of the centrist faction in the court of the Fengqi Empire today, Li Xikong, the current Prime Minister of the Left, sighed and simply admitted defeat.

And the child who played against him was like Lin Ling, who had come to this world for eight years.

Different from the age eight years ago, Lin Ling at this time has added a calm temperament, and there is an incomprehensible feeling, obviously the eight years have had a great impact on him.

In fact, it was also the case, if at the beginning, because of the targeting of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, language barriers, and other problems, Lin Ling was very dissatisfied with the fact that he had crossed into a baby. So later, he was raised by the Queen Mother's side, and he was taught by the Queen Mother for 8 years, but he felt more and more that this wave was too worthwhile.

Can you imagine what it's like to be taught by a top-notch old coin? Lin Ling felt that his own wave was to return to the city immediately, and it was already enough.

And the reason why he is sitting here now to play against Li Xikong is because of the Empress Dowager's trial of him - maybe he was really upset by the battle between the emperor and His Royal Highness the eldest princess, or maybe he just wanted to see the results of his upbringing, when Lin Ling was six years old, the Empress Dowager secretly pushed him into a game of chess.

The 6-year-old Lin Ling has already begun to secretly meddle in the affairs of the court, and even the reason why Emperor Jing and the Empress Niang, who have been suppressed and panicked in the past few years, were able to rise because of Lin Ling's secret interference.

- Here Rong Linling complained, he finally understood why the emperor's father when he was born was pressed like that by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. Such people are not good at all of the same magnitude! Was his emperor's father really taught by his imperial grandmother? The number of paragraphs is too different!

His emperor's father's old cunning index is not even as good as the queen's mother, can you believe it?

And he is here now for a list, a list of the eldest princess's hidden sons buried in the emperor's faction.

"Since Li Xiang lost, he shouldn't be cheating!" So just after the game ended, Lin Ling said so.

"Wei Chen naturally won't cheat......" Li Xikong said as he reached into his arms, took out a rolled up brocade handkerchief and handed it to Lin Ling.

After the latter took it, he shook it and opened it, only to see that there were several black names on it, and Li Xikong said at the same time: "The list that His Highness wants is on this." ”

"Then the main hall will thank Li Xiang......" Lin Ling glanced at the names, just put away the Jinpa, and said at the same time: "It's not early today, the main hall has to go back to accompany the imperial grandmother, and I won't stay much at night!" After speaking, he was about to leave, but he just turned around and heard Li Xikong's voice.

"Your Highness, can you solve the confusion for Wei Chen."

Lin Ling paused and asked, "I don't know what Li Xiang has any doubts?" ”

"Your Highness, can you tell Wei Chen what His Highness's heart is?" Li Xikong said unhurriedly, did he care whether his words were out of line, "Does Your Highness have the heart to sit on the seat above the ten thousand people, or does he just want to leave the mortal world to seek the immortal fate?" ”

In the face of such a question, if it were an ordinary person, he might have already gotten into the hair, but Lin Ling, who knew something about Li Xikong, was still calm, and asked rhetorically: "Is this question important?" ”

"Very important, Your Highness." Li Xikong still said unhurriedly, "Weichen believes that with His Highness's wisdom and wisdom, he will be able to lead my Fengqi Empire to open a supreme prosperous era, but if Weichen wants to choose one of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Princess, Weichen trusts Her Royal Highness the Princess more." ”

This is very excessive, if outsiders listen to it, they can even directly give Li Xikong a big crime of disrespect. And the meaning is also obvious, it is clear that if Lin Ling has the heart to sit as emperor, he Li Xikong agrees with it 100%, but if Lin Ling is not interested in being the emperor, he may have to defect to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Of course, considering the ability of his own emperor father, Lin Ling was completely understandable about this.

You don't care what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess does to him, at least Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was able to cover the sky with one hand above the court back then, and that ability is really speechless.

Hearing this, Lin Ling felt a faint stomach ache.
