From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

Chapter 168 Longevity and Life-saving

Tian Yu walked out of the dark room with some bloodstains still on his sleeves.

The guard beside her stepped forward, and she waved her hand: "Burn it. Watch it burn. Burn it to ashes."

He killed Tian Dazhuang to try whether the player would still come to this world if the carrier was gone. In any case, Tian Yu didn't want to leave any hidden dangers.

The previous incident with Lin Li also taught him some lessons. He should never be soft-hearted when it is time to take action. Although Lin Li has become his ally now, it is also because he had no intention of killing him in the first place.

I may not know the next time.

Someone was sent to the place Tian Dazhuang indicated to look for the things he had hidden. Chunling also came at this time.

"Miss, the lady wants to see you."

Tian Yu nodded, went back to the yard to change his clothes, and then walked towards Madam Li's garden.

"Mother." Tian Yu bowed.

"Sit down." Mrs. Li nodded, her expression seemed a little ugly.

After dismissing the attendants, she spoke of her purpose with some worry: "Your uncle sent a letter from Jiangnan, saying that the emperor wants to summon your cousin to the court."

When Tian Yu heard this, he realized what the emperor was thinking. Since he couldn't control the Chen family, was he going to move to another place?

"My cousin has no longer had any intention of serving as an official in the court since he left the Hanlin Academy. I'm afraid it would be dangerous for him to be reinstated now," said Tian Yu.

"Your uncle and I both think so, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey, and your cousin should have already set off." Madam Li sighed.

"What do you think, mother?" Tian Yu didn't believe that Madam Li was a person without her own ideas.

"Your second brother has now entered the Hanlin Academy. Mr. Qin once taught you three siblings. Although he no longer cares about court affairs, he still has some influence in the Hanlin Academy. He was also the eldest princess's mentor." Madam Li said quietly.

Judging from what she said, it is unknown whether Hanlin is under the control of the princess.

"Since my cousin is going to enter the court, it is natural for our family to help our own people." Tian Yu added.

"That's what I meant, so I called you here today because I thought it would be better for you to handle this matter." Mrs. Li looked at Tian Yu.

Tian Yu also understood what she meant. Now that the Chen family and the eldest princess were in the same boat, they naturally did not want to hand over their own family members to the emperor as a handle. However, no one knew how powerful the eldest princess was.

It would be safest if my cousin came to the court, swearing allegiance to the emperor on the surface but actually working under the eldest princess.

The banditry in the southwest that the princess had previously stirred up was closely related to Madam Li's family.

Now that Tian Yu is about to appear again, it must be that the relationship is not deep enough, and Madam Li's family also wants to take this opportunity to completely take sides.

"My daughter understands." Tian Yu nodded.

After leaving Madam Li's courtyard, Tian Yu knew that the General's Mansion was now completely bound to the Princess.

If she had been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, it seemed that she had already intended to seize the throne. In the fight for the throne, she chose to support the current emperor. I'm afraid she had other intentions.

In this era, if a woman wants to take control of the government, she naturally has to do it step by step.

After handing over the visiting card, Tian Yu slowly waited for the eldest princess's reply.

At the same time, she was also wondering, what exactly did the eldest princess want her to do for her?

If you want to bind the Chen family, Chen Shengjing may not be the best candidate.

The Spring Festival is approaching and the whole mansion is becoming bustling. This year, General Chen is destined to be unable to spend it with his family, but he is in the southwest, which is much safer than being at the border.

This time, the princess didn't have any reason to meet Tian Yu, and directly called her into the house.

This is also a signal that the eldest princess is not afraid of criticism from others, which is enough to show that the emperor's current power is extremely difficult to contend with her.

The eldest princess still loves red clothes, which are quite warm in these cold days.

"If you ask me to, then come over and play chess with me." She sat on her seat, looking annoyed.

When it came to playing chess, Tian Yu tried his best but was no match for the eldest princess. After winning three games in a row, the eldest princess waved her hand and said it was meaningless.

"Shengjing, what do you think we should do to warm ourselves up in this winter?" The eldest princess yawned.

"I always feel cold."

Tian Yu was speechless. You don’t have what you want, so why are you coming to ask me?

"It's just that the charcoal fire is burning brighter, so people can move around a bit and have some food to warm up their bodies." Tian Yu replied.

"Food?" The eldest princess became interested again.

"Sheng Jing, can you cook?"

Tian Yu was about to curse. Why did the princess always come up with the right ideas?

"Of course it will."

The princess stood up and said, "That's great. I want to watch you do it with my own eyes. If you do it to my liking, how about I promise you one thing today?"

"Okay." Tian Yu nodded.

The eldest princess had long planned to arrange her cousin to serve under her, but she still had to find a reason to get him to play with her.

Tian Yu’s cooking is just average, but he has one specialty that is suitable for winter.

"Mutton soup?" The eldest princess looked at Tian Yu's actions. Such food was too simple and plain, and it was novel to the eldest princess who was used to eating good food.

Tian Yu soaked the meat in water and cut it skillfully, while the eldest princess watched with great interest.

When the bowl of mutton soup was served on the table, the eldest princess took a sip.

"Why does it feel familiar?" she murmured.

This scared Tian Yu a lot. Familiar?

"Ah, so it's this big ingredient. The royal chefs in the palace also like to add this flavor." The eldest princess drank with great interest.

After the meal, she lazily nestled in her fox fur coat and said, "The soup is delicious. If you come again next time, I will ask someone to bring out some delicious food to treat you."

"Then tell me, what do you want me to promise you today?"

Tian Yu looked at the eldest princess's face. Her smile was quite cunning.

"Anything?" Tian Yu asked.

"Of course I can do it."

"Okay," Tian Yu nodded, "Then I want the princess to promise me——"

For some reason it suddenly started snowing, but the room was still as warm as before, making people feel a little sleepy.

"Protect the lives of the entire Chen family." Tian Yu stared at the eldest princess with a sharp gaze.

Such a family of ministers would never threaten only one emperor.

The eldest princess restrained her expression and looked at Tian Yu.

After a while, she suddenly smiled again: "Okay."

After leaving the Princess's Mansion, Tian Yu was still secretly thinking about his other tasks. Who is this third long-lived woman?

It was snowing in the Princess's mansion, but the Princess stood motionless under the eaves in the courtyard.

"Jinrong." she called.

"Do you think this long-lived person can really make people's wishes come true?"

The secret guard stood behind the princess and said, "Princess, you are blessed by heaven, and everything will go as you wish."
