Chapter 194 The Selection of the New Crown Prince

After Li Chengze climbed into the prime minister's residence, he walked towards Lin Wan'er's boudoir.

He walked forward and looked around.

The whole person is like a thief.

However, this feeling is quite exciting.

No wonder so many people like to have affairs, the main attraction is the excitement.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze immediately shook his head.

Throw away the previous thought.

He and Lin Wan'er were in love with each other and neither of them was married. This was a normal relationship. How could it be compared with that?

When I find an opportunity in the future, I will marry Ye Ling'er and Lin Wan'er home together.

If Emperor Qing doesn't agree.

Haha...then do something else to force him to agree.

When the time comes, it will be no longer up to him.

Just as Li Chengze was about to walk to Lin Wan'er's boudoir, he saw several figures in the aisle not far away.

When he looked forward carefully, he found that it was Lin Gong, who was walking forward quickly with several middle-aged men.

Seeing this, Li Chengze couldn't help but feel curious.

Those middle-aged men just now looked familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who they were.

Moreover, Lin Gong was quite polite to them all, so he must be either rich or noble.

These people suddenly got together, there must be some secret.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze followed quietly.

Soon, Lin Gong brought several middle-aged men to the door of the study in the mansion.

He walked forward a few steps, raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying:
"Dad, several adults are here."

Immediately afterwards, a sound was heard from inside the room.

"come in."

With a creak, Lin Gong stretched out his hand to push the door open and said to the people behind him:
"My Lords, please!"

After several people walked into the study, Lin Gong looked around carefully, and found nothing wrong, so he closed the door.

At the same time, Li Chengze hid behind the stone pillar next to him and watched the scene in front of him.

These people are sneaky and it must be up to no good!

Li Chengze was just guessing just now, but now it seems that it should be about the same.

Since I met him today, I might as well listen to what they are doing.

Li Chengze quickly took out a black face towel from his sleeve and covered his face with it, then quietly approached the study.

When he came to the study window, he began to listen closely.

At the same time, Lin Gong in the study, accompanied by several middle-aged men, walked towards Lin Ruofu in the room.

"Dad, several adults have arrived."

Lin Ruofu, who was originally sitting at the table, waved to the others and said, "Please take a seat, everyone."

"Prime Minister Xie Lin." Several people bowed to him and sat on the stools one after another.

At this time, Lin Ruofu picked up the teapot in front of him, poured a cup of tea for everyone, and said:
"Come and have a taste of my cooking."

"This is top-quality tea. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it outside."

"Try them all, you're welcome."

As soon as Lin Ruofu finished speaking, the men looked at each other, then each of them took a cup of tea and placed it carefully in front of them.

After seeing this, Lin Ruofu smiled and nodded, then picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea in it.

When everyone saw Lin Ruofu drinking the tea, they started drinking too.

Then, Lin Ruofu put down the teacup in his hand and said:

"Since everyone has drunk this cup of tea, we are one family, so I will speak frankly."

"I believe you all already know why I asked you to come here, right?"

The man named Chen in the crowd nodded and said, "I know, it's about the prince." Lin Ruofu waved his hand and said, "Wrong, it's the new prince!"

"You adults all used to support Crown Prince Li Chengqian."

"Now that Li Chengqian is dead, the first thing the court should consider is the appointment of a new crown prince."

"So, you adults should know what to do, right?"

Without any hesitation, they all nodded and said, "I know, I know."

In fact, even if Lin Ruofu didn't say it, they all knew what to do.

In the past, they did stand on Li Chengqian's side and invested a lot of time, energy and money.

Originally, according to their thinking, as long as they stood in line, as long as Li Chengqian ascended the throne and became emperor, they would be senior officials.

By then, you will have wealth, glory, high position and generous salary, and you will have everything you want.

However, the accident came too fast, like a tornado, and almost blew them to bankruptcy.

Who could have thought that the crown prince and future emperor would be murdered?

Now, after the death of the crown prince, the power in the entire court will be reshuffled.

Especially those who used to support Li Chengqian will suffer a severe blow.

Therefore, while there was still a chance, they, as representatives, hurried to find Lin Ruofu to seek a solution.

Seeing that everyone's answers were the same, Lin Ruofu did not show too much surprise. After all, it was all within his expectations.

"Since everyone understands, I won't say anything more."

"As long as His Majesty wants to appoint a new crown prince in the future, we will know who to choose."

Lin Ruofu was afraid that some people didn't understand what he said, so he continued:

"A few days ago, I discussed with the Princess and decided to take some time to send a gift to the Second Prince."

"If the adults also want to send gifts, you can bring them along then."

As soon as these words were spoken, several middle-aged men reacted instantly.

Prime Minister Lin will have to start standing on the side of the Second Prince from now on!
What was said just now has made it very clear that Minister Lin and the eldest princess are both ready to support the second prince to become the next crown prince.

However, this is quite normal.

Originally, the Second Prince had good character, literary talent, appearance, and talent, and was indeed the best candidate for the Crown Prince.

Now that Li Chengqian is dead, he should become the new crown prince.

If that were the case, things would be much easier.

"Thank you for your reminder, Minister Lin. We will definitely prepare a generous gift when the time comes."

Lin Ruofu smiled and said, "That's best."

"Come on, continue drinking tea."

At this time, Li Chengze, who was outside the study, overheard the conversation and began to murmur in his heart.

He didn't have much interaction with Lin Ruofu, let alone much contact with him.

Then why would the other party support him for no reason and become the candidate for the next crown prince?

It's so confusing.

Could it be that Lin Ruofu already knew about his relationship with Wan'er, so he...

and many more! ! !

Li Chengze suddenly remembered that he had just heard Lin Ruofu say that he had discussed this with the eldest princess.

Could it be Li Yunrui's doing?
Just as Li Chengze was deep in thought, footsteps suddenly sounded not far behind him.

Soon after, several guards appeared.

"Who is there!"

One of the guards suddenly shouted after seeing Li Chengze.

Li Chengze finally reacted.

Oops!

It was discovered!
