I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"Not bad, it sounds like your father was also a remarkable figure, powerful yet cautious. As his son, you're lucky. I've seen many children of wealthy nobles, and like their fathers, they all have the same personality: arrogant and domineering. I've killed many of them myself. Generally speaking, if I make a move, I'll definitely take action, and they're usually doomed to death, with no chance of survival. But you're lucky I didn't kill you. First, because you're very reasonable, and second, because you're still useful to me!"

Lin Chen looked at the prince in front of him and spoke to him while eating.

"Useful? I wonder what use I can be to Gongzi?"

The prince picked up a piece of bear paw from the bowl, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a few times, then looked at Lin Chen and said.

"I told you today that I want to learn from you about some of the things going on in the court. After all, as the son of the Grand Marshal, although you are not in the court yourself, you must know a lot about it. If you are willing to share with me some of the things you know about the court, I think I will reward you handsomely!"

Lin Chen said as he looked at the prince in front of him.

After traveling to this world, I was busy dealing with the Crown Prince, but I hadn't properly familiarized myself with some of the things in this world. For example, what was the situation like in the court of this country? What was the topography of my country like? Furthermore, what was my country's status? Or what was my country's national strength, financial resources, reputation, and military strength? I knew nothing.

I don't know if these things might be fatal to me. After all, the more I know, the better it is for me. As a time traveler, as a person who doesn't belong to this world, if I am not familiar with this world, I will die quickly, and it is very likely that I will die inexplicably.

It is an ancient society, not a modern society. It is a society centered on imperial power and the upper class. The so-called laws and regulations are all for serving these upper-class people. The lower class people are equivalent to a resource report for the upper class people, and can even be said to be something like an artifact.

It may not be a big deal if the upper class kills someone, but if the lower class kills someone, it will violate the strict criminal law. This is the iron law and rule of this world. If the lower class dares to murder the upper class, it will infringe on the interests of the upper class. Then, such a lower class person will die miserably. Not only will he die, but even his family members, relatives or friends around him will be implicated, that is, he will be punished or his nine generations of the clan will be killed.

When the prince heard what Lin Chen said, he felt a little hesitant.

My father taught me since I was a child not to get involved in any court affairs. Even if I know something about the court, I must not leak it to others, otherwise it will bring disaster to myself. Even my father cannot save me, and I can only wish for good luck!

You said that your father has told you how to survive in this world, and as long as you listen to your father, you will be absolutely fine!

But the person in front of him wanted to know about the things happening in the court from him again and again, which made him feel torn.

The person in front of him was from the Princess's Mansion, so he naturally couldn't afford to offend him. However, if he told the person what happened in the court, and if some people with ulterior motives knew about it, he would probably not live long. He felt that he was making a choice that would result in his death on both sides. No matter which choice he made, his ending and consequences would not be good!

The prince was silent for a long time. This was the most difficult choice he had ever made in his life. No matter what he chose, the result would not be good!

"Let me ask you, can I not tell you?"

After a few minutes of silence, the prince looked at Lin Chen in front of him and said.

"What do you think? I've already said that your current value to me is that you know something about the court. If you don't tell me now, you'll lose your value to me. As for the consequences, you should know. In fact, the moment you angered me today, I wanted to kill you. It's only because you still have some value to me that I kept you around and had this meal with you. You should know this clearly in your heart!"

Lin Chen looked at the prince with a serious face and spoke in a fierce tone.

After hearing what Lin Chen said, the prince couldn't stop shaking all over. Beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead kept running down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground. From the time he was born until now, he had never experienced anything like what happened today.

I feel a little regretful now. Maybe I didn’t check the almanac before going out today. If I had checked the almanac, maybe this situation would not have happened today.

"Oh my God, why do I always have to encounter such bad luck? Oh my God, you are so unfair! I am so miserable! Is there anyone in this world who is more miserable than me? I have two choices, but no matter which one I choose, I will die. I am really doomed!"

The prince shouted loudly in his heart.

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, tell me everything you know, and I promise you won't encounter any accidents. In other words, tell me everything you know about the court, and I will guarantee your personal safety. No one will get close to you, and you won't die. But if you choose not to tell me, you will die, and it will be very quick!"

Lin Chen looked at the prince in front of him and knew what he was worried about. He only needed to dispel his worries, and then he would definitely tell him what he knew.

"Is everything you said true? I've told you everything I know. Will you really guarantee my safety?"

When the prince heard Lin Chen's promise, he looked up at Lin Chen and said.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to anyone? If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Of course, I advise you to believe me. After all, you don't have any choice now!"
