Chapter 122
Weird.
Everyone present knew that this was just a polite remark.
Liu Huan is the last bond that Lin Zhihe has left in the Lin family. If she takes Liu Huan away, she can really sever ties with the Lin family at any time.
Grandma quickly recovered and held her head high. "Okay."
"Okay then. Liu Li will go back to the Lin Mansion with grandmother to pick up Liu Huan. I will report to the Queen right away that this was caused by Xiao Taohong's accidental ingestion. Ask her not to pursue the matter." Lin Zhihe wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
Grandma nodded and didn't object.
"Madam, please take a rest first. I will change into casual clothes and leave the palace with you." Liu Li bowed respectfully and looked at Lin Zhihe meaningfully.
Liu Li walked out, and Lin Zhihe was too lazy to pretend, so he just followed him out.
"Master, bring Liu Huan to the palace? The Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Lin Zhihe interrupted quickly, "Don't take it to the palace."
It was already enough to trap Lin Zhihe and Liu Li, how could we let the little girl come to such a dangerous place?
"Then where to go?" Liu Li frowned.
Yes, where can it be sent?
A little girl was placed outside the palace for fear that Lin Yingchen would take action, and she would never return from the palace. No place was a good place.
"Wuyang Mountain!" Lin Zhihe suddenly had an idea.
"Isn't Concubine Xi cultivating there with her hair untied? It's an important place for the royal family, and Lin Yingchen certainly doesn't dare to extend his hand there. Wait until the storm settles down and bring her back. Find a house for her to live in Kyoto."
Liu Li thought about it and nodded.
"Go and follow your grandmother out of the palace. I will talk to the Fifth Prince about Wuyang Mountain."
Liu Li nodded again and quickly went to change clothes.
Wu Yangshan is the fifth prince’s original mother, so he must be related.
"Wuyang Mountain? My mother's relative wants to become a monk?" The Fifth Prince's face was filled with shock, and even Lin Ping next to him was curious.
Lin Zhihe's brain spasmed.
This six or seven-year-old child said that he wanted to become a monk, which was a bit...
"Yes, she let go of everything."
At the age when he couldn’t even let go of the osmanthus candy in his hand, he let go of everything.
After traveling through time, she has mastered the art of telling lies with open eyes to perfection and can now do it with ease.
The Fifth Prince was stunned for a moment, but he did not dwell on whether he had put it down or not. He just asked with some doubts, "Then why must we choose Wuyang Mountain?"
You’re getting to the point.
Lin Zhihe clapped his hands together, a shameless smile appeared on his face, "Look, you have connections in Wuyang Mountain!"
"Connections..." The Fifth Prince pondered over these two words, not really understanding what they meant.
"Connections mean that you have the ability to send my relative to Wuyang Mountain to practice Buddhism with untied hair."
An innocent and confused expression appeared on the Fifth Prince's face. "Why do you think I have this ability, Mother? I don't!"
Lin Zhihe quite disagreed. They had just agreed to be honest with each other, so why was he pretending now?
"How come you don't have any connections? Your mother..." Lin Zhihe was a little embarrassed, but the situation was critical, so she could only continue with a thick face, "Isn't Concubine Xi in Wuyang Mountain..."
When talking about Concubine Xi, the Fifth Prince's expression did not change, he remained calm and composed.
He looked at Lin Zhihe and said, "Mother, you can rest assured. I have no connection with Concubine Xi. From today on, you are my biological mother and I am your biological son."
No, who asked you this?
Lin Zhihe looked at the Fifth Prince helplessly. You kid, you keep saying that we are mother and son, but how come we don’t have a mother-son bond at all?
What I want is your lack of contact? What I want is your contact!
She wanted to speak earnestly and put on the airs of an elder to educate the Fifth Prince, but suddenly she found that she didn't even know the Fifth Prince's name, only that he was the Fifth Prince.
The feeling of dejection came over me again.
"Forget it. I don't care whether you have any connection with Wuyang Mountain or not. I just want to send my relatives there. You should write a letter right now, right now!"
"Liu Li will be there with his men soon. It's impossible that his men will arrive later than your letter, right?"
The Fifth Prince's still young face was filled with maturity and planning.
"In that case, my son will write a letter immediately and ask Linping to ride a fast horse to Wuyang Mountain. He will definitely arrive before Eunuch Liu."
As he said this, he waved his right hand and began to write the letter.
Looking at the Fifth Prince's serious and focused back, Lin Zhihe's suppressed thoughts surged into his mind.
This child really has the body of a saint who can seize the throne, and his mind is very clear. Even though Lin Zhihe did not explain the situation clearly, he worked first and asked later.
After a while, he finished writing, blew on the paper in the air, and waited for the ink to dry.
Then he handed it to Lin Ping, and said solemnly, "Do as mother says, and quickly!"
Linping took the letter and walked out immediately, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
Seeing Lin Zhihe staring at Lin Ping's back, the Fifth Prince slowly came over and said, "Don't worry, mother. Lin Ping is an excellent rider and will be able to settle everything before Eunuch Liu."
"In my letter, I specifically told the abbot of Wuyang Mountain to treat my mother's relatives well."
The Fifth Prince's words and deeds often made Lin Zhihe forget that he was only a twelve-year-old boy. He was thoughtful and even had some strategic planning skills.
"I've told you I'm sorry, haven't I?" Lin Zhihe suddenly brought up this topic again, the topic that couldn't be avoided between the two of them.
The Fifth Prince did not respond, and there was no unusual reaction on his face, as if Lin Zhihe had not spoken.
"You are so smart, and Concubine Xi is so favored. If you stay well with Concubine Xi, your future will be much easier."
Lin Zhihe's tone was filled with guilt from the bottom of his heart.
These words are her true thoughts at this moment.
"The road ahead?" The fifth prince smiled and shook his head. "With your protection, the road ahead will be smooth."
He finally stopped playing this ridiculous "loving mother and filial son" drama and was willing to communicate with her normally.
"But I can't protect you from anything."
"After losing the Lin family, I am nothing but the lowest-ranking talent in the harem." Lin Zhihe was a little sad.
Mistaking Lin Zhihe for being sad about the low-ranking concubine position, the Fifth Prince comforted her: "Mother is a talented person now, but she will not be one in the future. Your son will earn a piece of honor for you that belongs to you."
Lin Zhihe quickly waved his hands and sighed, "You..."
She didn't know whether the Fifth Prince really didn't understand or was just acting, but ultimately, she was the one who was sorry for him regarding the matter of Imperial Concubine Xi.
"You misunderstood. What I meant was that now that I no longer have the Lin family to rely on, I can give you very little, and it may be even less in the future."
The Fifth Prince did not seem to care much about whether he could get help from the Lin family. He said with some disdain, "We don't need to rely on him, we have to conquer him."
Lin Zhihe looked up at the Fifth Prince.
The moment he spoke just now, he had the demeanor of a king, a bearing that demanded the admiration of all people and the worship of all officials.
At such a young age, he had such a broad mind and ambition. King Cheng could not compare to him at all.
Not really. King Cheng was also very arrogant and reckless, otherwise he would not have done such a thing as having a child with the original owner.
It would be really interesting if these two brothers faced off against each other.
