Being tortured by her whole family, she no longer pretends to be a real daughter!

The Jiang family has hundreds of guards, divided into thirteen teams according to their duties and responsibilities. Each team has a guard captain and deputy captain. The team that Li Fei and Xu Lin are in is code-named "Team Three". Li Fei is the guard captain of Team Three, and Xu Lin is the deputy guard captain.

Team 3 has always been the core team because it is personally dispatched by Jiang Cixi. It is mainly responsible for the security affairs of the hall where Jiang Cixi is located and has the closest contact with Jiang Cixi.

Therefore, Xu Lin has always been proud to be the deputy captain of the guard of Team 3, because it means he can get in touch with Jiang Cixi.

Every year, the guard captain and deputy guard captain of each team are elected through elections.

Since it is a competition among guards, the election method is simple and crude. Whoever has the higher combat power will be qualified.

The reason why Xu Lin was able to do the job before was because he defeated everyone in Team 3 except Li Fei.

Xu Lin felt that since he had been able to defeat these people before, he could still defeat them in the next election and take back what belonged to him!

He is full of confidence in this!

When the guards of Team 3 heard Xu Lin say that he wanted to participate in the next election, they all started talking.

Some are worried, some are eager to try, and some are clenching their fists and preparing to fight to the death.

On the other side, Jiang Cixi led Lin Yusheng out of the castle.

This time they were going to the imperial palace.

The Imperial Palace is where the current emperor handles official business.

Because Jiang Cixi has a close relationship with the Emperor, Li Zhengming must be informed of the departure to Canghai City.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a magnificent building.

There was a line of soldiers at the door, holding guns and looking solemn and majestic.

"This is the Imperial Palace."

Jiang Cixi led Lin Yusheng directly inside. The soldiers at the door were obviously very familiar with her and let her in without even asking any questions.

Walking into a place similar to a hall, Lin Yusheng saw Li Zhengming.

He sat at a long table with a mountain of documents in front of him.

He was the only one in the entire hall.

When Lin Yusheng read about the politics of the Beihan Empire before, he learned that Li Zhengming had been in office for twenty-seven years. Seeing him now, he was indeed nearly fifty years old.

I don’t know why, but the blood on Li Zhengming’s face doesn’t look very good.

Li Zhengming heard the noise and saw that it was Jiang Cixi. He quickly stood up to greet her, "Miss Cixi, why are you here?"

Jiang Cixi smiled and said, "I'll bring my new disciple here for you to meet."

When Li Zhengming heard Jiang Cixi say this, he immediately turned his gaze to Lin Yusheng.

He was somewhat shocked by Jiang Cixi's sudden decision to accept a disciple, and it took him a long time to recover. Then, he sighed, "Actually, Shiyao had been asking me before, both openly and covertly, to see if you were willing to accept a disciple. I think Shiyao wanted to take you as his master. He has always respected and admired you, but I didn't expect you to accept a disciple so quietly."

"It looks like Shiyao has no chance."

The "Shi Yao" mentioned by Li Zhengming is "Li Shiyao", Li Zhengming's eldest son.

As we all know, Li Zhengming actually has two sons.

The eldest son is Li Shiyao and the second son is Li Tianren.

In a blink of an eye, Li Zhengming has been the emperor for 27 years and is about to abdicate. There have been different opinions from the outside world as to whether the next emperor will be Li Shiyao or Li Tianren.

Since Li Zhengming mentioned Li Shiyao, Jiang Cixi said straight to the point: "Li Zhengming, I know that you have always liked the eldest son Li Shiyao."

"But I have decided to hand over the throne of the next emperor to Li Tianren."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Zhengming's expression changed slightly.

He looked at Jiang Cixi in confusion, "Why? As for the Emperor, I think Shi Yao is more suitable!"

Jiang Cixi cleared her throat and glanced at Lin Yusheng. Lin Yusheng understood what he meant, knowing that the next words were not for her to hear, so she understood and said, "Master, I'll be leaving first."

Jiang Cixi nodded, watched Lin Yusheng's figure disappear at the door, then sat down and talked in detail with Li Zhengming.

-

"who is she?"

There is a pavilion outside the main hall. Inside the pavilion, a young man is sitting at a tea table. He is looking at the girl standing at the door of the main hall from a distance, and his eyes narrowed.

There was a middle-aged man next to the young man.

The middle-aged man glanced at her and then looked away. "I'm not sure. I only saw that she came with Jiang Cixi."

"Did she come with Jiang Cixi?" The young man smiled, a hint of interest on his lips. "Let her come and sit."

The middle-aged man nodded and immediately walked towards the girl.

"You came here with Jiang Cixi, right?" The middle-aged man said as he approached Lin Yusheng. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhao Wuji, Master Shiyao's martial arts teacher."

He pointed to the pavilion in the distance and said, "Young Master Shiyao asked you to sit over there. He has something to ask you."

Lin Yusheng looked towards the pavilion and saw a young man sitting there, looking at this side.

It seems that the young man is Li Zhengming's eldest son Li Shiyao.

Lin Yusheng subconsciously didn't want to deal with Li Shiyao, because Jiang Cixi had told her in the car that Li Zhengming had two sons, and she planned to nominate the second son Li Tianren as the next emperor.

As for why Li Shiyao was not nominated, Jiang Cixi also said that Li Shiyao was ambitious, ruthless, and a person obsessed with money. Such a person must never sit on the throne of the emperor, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Since Jiang Cixi had already described what kind of person Li Shiyao was, Lin Yusheng felt that there was no need for him to have any contact with him.

"I'm not going." Lin Yusheng refused directly.

The middle-aged man was stunned.

Obviously, he never expected Lin Yusheng to refuse.

Seeing the girl's aloof look, the middle-aged man's eyes darkened slightly and he sneered, "Young Master Shiyao invited you to have tea. He was giving you a favor, and you actually dared to refuse?"

Lin Yusheng frowned slightly after hearing this. "So what if I refuse him? Is it okay if I don't want to drink this tea?"

The middle-aged man choked and his expression became even uglier.

"Don't think that just because you have a relationship with Miss Cixi, you are so great that you can refuse Master Shiyao's invitation. Do you know that Master Shiyao is the eldest son of the current emperor?"

He said condescendingly, "You're just a little girl, you'd better know your limits and not be so arrogant!"

As Li Shiyao's martial arts teacher, Zhao Wuji is respected wherever he goes.

It was the first time he saw someone talking to him in such an arrogant manner, and he really couldn't stand it!

I really don’t know what to say!

"I'll give you one last piece of advice!" Zhao Wuji stared at Lin Yusheng coldly, pressing him aggressively, "You'd better go and say hello to Master Shiyao. Don't keep him waiting!"

Lin Yusheng glanced at him with disdain, didn't want to pay any attention to him, and turned to leave.

Zhao Wuji's face turned completely cold, his internal energy surged, and he directly grabbed Lin Yusheng's arm.
