Chapter 481 This matter is of great importance; how could I dare to joke with you?
But his shamelessness isn't new; old habits die hard. It's just that he hasn't reached his full potential yet.
When it grows stronger in the future, that person will surely send a trusted confidant to take over and incorporate it.
Given his character, he will not leave any future troubles.
Let alone Chang'er, even Qingfeng...
Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Bai continued, "But you also said that if the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. In the future, if that person really does such a thing, what will you do?"
Lin Chang'er looked at the old lady in front of her and suddenly burst into laughter, "Old lady, you were so wise and powerful back then, how could you have done such a thing..."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Bai's heart skipped a beat, and she was momentarily at a loss as to how to warn the girl in front of her.
He also felt that she was not a person whose temperament was so volatile, but she dared not speak out about the matter that was originally hidden in her heart.
However, just as she was thinking this, she heard Lin Chang'er continue, "It must be that there are treacherous officials in the court who are stirring up trouble, manipulating the political situation, and harming the people of the world."
"In that case, a general in the field may disobey the emperor's orders, and if necessary, purging the emperor's inner circle is a last resort."
After saying that, he looked at Old Madam Bai meaningfully, "Old Madam, don't you think so?"
Grandma Bai tightened her grip on the baby, staring intently at Lin Chang'er until the infant whimpered uncomfortably. Then she snapped out of her reverie and burst into laughter, "Well said! With treacherous officials causing chaos in the court, it is only right to purge them and restore order to the world. But what happens after that?"
A leopard can't change its spots; even if you purge the court of corrupt officials, you can't bring that person down from their post.
At most, it disrupts the balance of power in the court and redistributes factions, but that person will still sit firmly on the throne. It's a temporary fix, not a fundamental solution.
Lin Chang'er pouted. She had thought of this too, but she had asked Wu Qingfeng before if there was a suitable person among the imperial relatives to replace him. Wu Qingfeng thought for a long time but couldn't think of a single suitable person.
Lin Chang'er said with distress, "If only there were someone who could replace that one."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Bai suddenly reached out and gripped her hand tightly. "What did you say? Say it again?"
Lin Chang'er stared at the old lady Bai, thinking to herself, "Could the old lady be planning to turn against me?"
No way, really?
However, right now it's just her and her, plus a baby who can't even speak yet, so she'll just deny it to the death.
Lin Chang'er stared warily at the old lady without saying a word.
The old lady suddenly laughed again. As she laughed, she leaned close to Lin Chang'er's ear and whispered a few words. Lin Chang'er's eyes widened suddenly. "Are you telling the truth?"
Grandma Bai nodded emphatically, "This is a very important matter, how could I dare to joke with you?"
Lin Chang'er clapped her hands, "That makes things much easier..."
Then, as if remembering something, she changed her words, saying, "But how does the old lady know that person is capable of great things?"
The old lady smiled and said, "When the time is right, I will tell you who he is, and you will no longer ask this question."
At night, Lin Chang'er tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. While others were talking about love under the moon, she and the old lady were discussing the terrifying matter of changing emperors.
What is stimulation? It is.
However, even if the one sitting in the main hall is one of our own, we still fear that things might change in the future and we will not be able to live in peace, let alone those who are not old friends.
Just as she was thinking this, there was another knock on the window, and Lin Chang'er quickly put on her coat and went to open it.
Wu Qingfeng jumped in through the window with practiced ease. Lin Chang'er said with a hint of disdain, "When are you going to get rid of this habit of climbing through windows?"
Wu Qingfeng straightened his clothes. "There are many people here today. I'm afraid if someone sees you, it will damage your reputation."
Lin Chang'er shook her head and poured him a cup of tea. "You drank quite a bit tonight, didn't you? Sit down and have some tea to sober up."
Wu Qingfeng readily agreed and chose a seat, then began chatting with her.
Lin Chang'er was preoccupied with something, so she was somewhat listless.
Wu Qingfeng noticed and asked her, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Lin Chang'er's eyes darted around. She wasn't a gossip, but Wu Qingfeng would find out about this sooner or later. She had asked Old Madam Bai if she could tell her, and Old Madam Bai hadn't said no.
Although it was just the two of them in the room, she still looked around carefully before leaning close to Wu Qingfeng's ear and telling him what Old Madam Bai had told her, "Tonight, Old Madam Bai told me that the late Crown Prince still has a bloodline..."
