After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

The autumn hunting banquet officially began, and this year's winner was Zhang Huailing, the Golden Guard patrolling general.

He hunted a large, fierce tiger with a white forehead and piercing eyes.

Huayue and Xiaofu were whispering to each other downstairs, but unfortunately Xiaojiu'er wasn't there and couldn't see her beloved brother's charm.

Lin Nian sat on a high seat, and above that, only an emperor sat.

The man is nowhere to be found; he hasn't been seen since the banquet was held and he was brought here.

He felt incredibly lonely because there was no one around to talk to.

Even if there were a lot of delicacies in front of me, I would still find them tasteless.

Yin Cheng, his face covered and dressed in black, hung in the distant woods, waiting for his brother to finish his speech.

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves and toasting each other, Yin Cheng made his move.

"Protect His Majesty!"

"Guards! Seize the assassin!"

The joyful atmosphere was instantly ruined, and screams from the women's wives rose and fell.

Yin Mo covered his 'injured' left hand and retreated under the protection of the Golden Guards.

The moment the commotion arose, Hua Yue drew her twin blades and stood in front of Lin Nian.

Wait a minute... this man in black... he looks... familiar...

Hua Yue's little brain couldn't work, and she looked at the man in black in front of her with a puzzled expression.

What tricks is Your Highness up to this time? You've completely baffled me!

Seeing that his assassination attempt on the emperor had failed, the man in black turned and drew his sword to stab Lin Nian.

Xiao Fu was so frightened he couldn't speak, "Stab stab assassin."

Hua Yue blocked the seemingly immense blow. "Your Majesty, run!"

Xiao Fu realized what was happening and pulled Lin Nian along, running towards the direction of the Golden Guards.

At this moment, Zhang Huailing leaped over and protected Prince Cheng as he retreated.

Lin Nian was worried about the man's safety, and she was also concerned that she might affect him. She hardened her heart and left with the Golden Guard without looking back.

Amidst the clash of swords, the black-clad man's voice was so faint it was almost inaudible.

"Not bad, you've improved."

Hua Yue pouted, "They're super amazing, okay?"

After two failed assassination attempts, the man in black gave up the fight and fled into the mountains.

Just as the Golden Guards were about to give chase, they heard the Emperor say, "Stop."

That's it? All the civil and military officials were risking their lives, and His Majesty the Emperor actually said that was it?

While everyone was still baffled, the Golden Guards who were chasing the assassin had already obeyed orders and withdrawn.

Under the protection of the Golden Guards, there were no deaths and no injuries in this assassination attempt.

When the Imperial Medical Academy heard that the injured person was His Majesty the Emperor, several old men were so frightened that they almost lost their beards. They quickly carried their medicine chests and rushed to his aid.

As a result, His Majesty the Emperor pointed to a wound on his arm that was as thin as a line of blood and said, "Bandage it."

Even if there's only one health bar left, you can't be careless!

Your Majesty's health is of utmost importance and cannot be compromised in any way!

Several elderly imperial physicians diligently wrapped His Majesty's arm in multiple layers of bandages.

Soon after, the news spread throughout the government and the public.

His Majesty was assassinated and wounded in the arm.

His Majesty was assassinated; I heard his hand was even broken.

His Majesty was assassinated, and several senior imperial physicians took turns to save him from the brink of death.

With the assassins present, the autumn hunt could not possibly continue.

The emperor's palanquin hurriedly returned to the palace that very night.

Once the last embers of the fire at the hunting grounds had died down, Yin Cheng removed his disguise and secretly returned to his residence.

Before he even reached his doorstep, he was captured by his brother's secret guards and taken to the palace.

Yin Cheng was speechless. "What is it that you have to say now?"

The emperor rolled his eyes. "I have a few words to say to you."

"What's there to explain..." Yin Cheng muttered, but still obediently sat down next to his brother.

The emperor cleared his throat and said, "There will be a lot of rumors about you these next few days."

Yin Cheng took a fruit from the fruit plate on his table and took a bite. "Mmm."

"Similarly, someone else will choose you in this game."

Yin Cheng was bewildered. "Choose me? Why would you choose me?"

The emperor was so dumbfounded that he didn't know what to say. "Of course, I'll choose you as emperor."

Yin Cheng's face immediately changed, and he looked at him with disgust. "Are you sick? You chose me to be emperor? I'll confiscate his property on my first day on the throne."

The emperor had a headache. "Sometimes I really wish you were a little smarter."

"If you say that, then I'm going to get a little upset." Yin Cheng chewed the fruit even harder.

emperor:"……"

The emperor took a deep breath. "Some ambitious people are not satisfied with the status quo."

The older brother started to reason with him.

"They wanted an easy-to-control emperor to satisfy their ambitions."

"And you, in their hearts, are the easiest emperor to manipulate. Once they support you to the throne, they can use you to overthrow the Great Yin."

"Did you understand?"

Yin Cheng thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "I don't really understand."

The emperor said, "Now, you must pretend you know nothing. If someone tries to curry favor with you, just let them."

"Oh, I know that."

"If someone gives you a gift, you accept it; if they invite you out, you go."

"I understand completely."

The emperor said, "You had better understand completely."

"Who do you think you are?"

"Oh, right, there's one more thing," the emperor said. "If nothing unexpected happens, the Lin family will be imprisoned."

Yin Cheng asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Because I'm helping you," the emperor said. "When the time comes, you'll be a rebel, and the Lin family will be rebels too."

Seeing his younger brother roll his eyes in a distinctive way, the emperor felt a rare pang of guilt.

"I will compensate them after this is over."

Yin Cheng lazily lifted his eyelids slightly.

"This will also serve as a pretext to transfer Lin San into the cabinet."

Cheng Wang raised his eyelids again, still looking at his brother with the whites of his eyes.

"Posthumously conferring the title of General Lin and bestowing upon Lord Lin the title of First-Rank Imperial Consort, thus solidifying the Lin family's position among the aristocratic families in the capital."

Yin Cheng said with difficulty, "That prison is no place for a human being."

"I will arrange these things; you don't need to worry about them." The emperor was furious. "Would I mistreat them?!"

Yin Cheng then reluctantly said, "Alright then."

The emperor's expression was complex. "You still remember your surname is Yin, don't you?"

Yin Cheng said happily, "I think it's fine if I take my wife's surname."

"..." The emperor clutched his chest, "Get out, get out, get out!"

Stepping outside the palace, Yin Cheng wanted to throw away the fruit pit, but couldn't find a place to do so for a long time.

Xiao Anzi quickly reached out to take it, "Ninth Prince, you can just throw it in my hand."

"Thanks for your hard work."

No wonder she's a senior secretary; her interpersonal skills are impeccable!

Xiao Anzi quickly replied, "It's not hard work at all."

When Yin Cheng returned to the mansion, a wisp of white light was already flashing on the horizon.

As dawn approached, Lin Nian felt no sleepiness whatsoever.

He was terrified.

Men often speak without thinking, always talking about rebellion, but he knows that deep down, men have absolutely no interest in the throne.

Why would he suddenly think of assassinating His Majesty?

Could it be that these two brothers have some secret plan?

Lin Nian was oblivious to the intricacies of court politics and was simply instinctively worried about the man's safety.

"Nian Nian".

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lin Nian's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
