Chapter 216 Extra (1) Parallel World 21
Zhenguogongfu.
Lin Shihe had never hated himself so much for trusting Lu Yuxu, that despicable scoundrel with a honeyed heart.
Looking at his younger brother, who hadn't returned to Beijing for four years and was kneeling before him the moment he returned, he felt a surge of heat rising up inside him, making him dizzy, his vision blur, and the blood vessels in his brain seem about to burst at any moment.
Then he was determined to save the blood that flowed out and spit it all over Emperor Xingsheng's face, so that this black-hearted bastard would know what it meant for "the wrath of a commoner to cause blood to flow five steps and the world to be draped in mourning."
Emperor Xingsheng, who had been on the throne for three years, had no complaints about this.
"Come, come, kill me, slit my throat, right now."
"I don't want to sit on this throne for even a day longer. Kill me now, and I'll write a will to pass the throne to Xi. That way, your brother can at least sit on the throne of Empress!"
Ughhhhh, you bitch!!!
The Lu family is a bunch of despicable people!
Lin Shihe's neck turned bright red with anger, veins throbbing. He grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it at Lu Yuxu, who was slumped in his chair, instantly drenching the face of the ruler of the world with tea and tea leaves.
The eunuch standing by kept his eyes downcast, clearly accustomed to such acts of "regicide."
With one leg draped over the armrest and the other casually stretched out, the emperor, leaning back in his chair with a nonchalant air, showed no sign of anger. He even reached up and wiped his face, letting out a long, satisfying sigh.
"happy!"
**@&￥!
Lin Shihe was about to unleash a torrent of profanities. What a perverted emperor! These past few years as emperor must have driven him crazy!
"You know what, after becoming emperor, I've been scheming against those old scholars all day, putting on airs in front of the world. It's been a long time since I've felt this direct and straightforward. No wonder Father Emperor always liked to fight with your dad when he was on the throne, it was just so satisfying!"
Lu Yuxu squinted, savoring the moment that had just passed.
"It has to be you, my good brother! This tea was splashed just to my liking, so exciting!" With that, Lu Yuxu waved his hand like a lord and called for people, "Come, come, someone bring a few more cups, so that I and the Duke of Zhenguo can have another good time!"
Lin Shihe had never seen such a shameless person.
He had a bellyful of swear words he wanted to hurl, but he was afraid of venting his anger on the Emperor Xingsheng, who had gone mad from playing the emperor and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Caught between two pressures, the young Duke of Zhenguo, who was usually unfazed even by the collapse of Mount Tai, finally broke down in anger, his heart clenching so hard he nearly collapsed, clutching his chest.
Chaos erupted instantly in the hall. Lin Shiming, disregarding his own request, suddenly stood up and lunged at Lin Shihe.
"Doctor! Quickly, call a doctor!"
*
Inside the room, several white-bearded imperial physicians meticulously examined Lin Shihe's pulse for a long time, then huddled together and whispered for a while before finally reaching a consensus and selecting one of them to come out and report.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Duke of Zhenguo has been working hard lately and has been lacking in rest and sleep. He was also suddenly struck by the bad news, and his anger and emotional turmoil caused him to experience heart discomfort."
How strange! What could possibly anger the famously calm and collected Duke Zhenguo to this extent? What earth-shattering event must this be? Is Changping about to be destroyed?
The old doctor was completely baffled.
Lin Shiming was so anxious he almost jumped up. "Stop being so flowery! Get to the conclusion, understand? Get to the conclusion!"
The white-bearded imperial physician wiped the sweat from his brow, trying his best to encourage himself in front of a group of people he couldn't afford to offend. He nodded and agreed to whatever Lin Shiming said.
"Yes, yes, yes, the second young master is right. I was just showing off. The second young master need not worry. The Duke of Zhenguo is not seriously ill. The heart pain is just due to being too excited. There is no need for medicine or acupuncture. He just needs to calm down and rest for a couple of days."
Lu Yuxu pressed further, "Won't there be any hidden illnesses or aftereffects?"
"No, no! Lord Zhenguo is young and strong, and today's events were just an accidental mishap due to various factors. When I came out, Lord Zhenguo was already completely unharmed and there will be no problem at all."
The old doctor repeatedly assured them, and the anxious group finally calmed down, breathing a sigh of relief as if they had escaped a disaster.
Lu Yuxu waved his hand, signaling the imperial physicians to leave first, before leading Lin Shiming and Lu Yuxi into the inner room.
Lin Shihe, who had nearly scared someone to death, was leaning against the headboard with his eyes closed, resting.
He didn't even open his eyes when he heard the three people come in.
"Sui Mu, are you feeling better?"
Lin Shihe snorted coldly.
Lu Yuxu didn't dare to retort, and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have thrown all the memorials from the past few months at you just because I had a fight with those old geezers, and then went to the imperial palace to ride horses."
"How can you blame His Majesty?" Lin Shihe said sarcastically. "It's just that I'm physically weak."
Lu Yuxu laughed awkwardly, "Haha, you're really good at joking."
It's not entirely Lu Yuxu's fault.
Because of what happened to Empress Dowager Qin back then, Lu Yuxu had always wanted to reform the laws and revise national policies. However, he did not expect that Emperor Longyun would become complacent too quickly, and the old Duke of Zhenguo, Lin Yunyue, would also cause trouble and relinquish his title. This directly resulted in Lu Yuxu becoming the new emperor, and Lin Shihe, the new Duke of Zhenguo, being young as well, causing many officials to rekindle their desire to "bully the emperor".
Furthermore, the lack of concrete reasons to justify the "must-do" approach made the implementation of this matter extremely difficult, with obstacles at every turn.
In recent years, he and Lin Shihe have been working tirelessly on this matter, balancing various forces to minimize the impact of the new policy on Changping. As a result, the two of them haven't had a proper rest in a long time.
Especially during the final months, in order to show his attitude and to secretly lay out his control, Lu Yuxu used the excuse of taking a break to leave the affairs of state to Lin Shihe, who was busy for more than two months without a moment's rest. He was so exhausted that he was almost dying of exhaustion.
Then, just when things had finally come to a close, Lu Yuxi and Lin Shiming dealt him another heavy blow, adding insult to injury and making his heart ache.
I'm really unlucky.
Lu Yuxu was extremely guilty.
He was about to continue to apologize sincerely to the victim on the bed with a forced smile when Lin Shihe, who had previously ignored him, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled gently at him.
"Your Majesty, do you believe in my Taoist arts?"
Lu Yuxu was completely bewildered. "Huh? This... I... believe it?"
"That's good." Lin Shihe smiled. "Since Your Majesty believes me, then I will speak frankly."
"Your Majesty knows that I have always been in good health. Although I have been busy these days, I am not sick. The heart pain I felt just now was indeed a bit unusual."
Lu Yuxu was completely confused. "Huh?"
"Therefore, I cast a divination for myself."
After a long silence, Lu Yuxi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Curious, Lin Shiming sat down at the foot of the bed and leaned over to his brother, asking, "What's the divination result? Tell me about it."
Lin Shihe smiled and reached out to pat his younger brother's fluffy head. "The divination is simple. My fate clashes with that of the Prince of Jin; we are not meant to be family."
Just as expected. Lu Yuxi's vision went black, and she almost collapsed as well.
