Lin Xiang stood in the center, his posture upright, his face resolute and dignified. His expression was serious, as if he could see through all pretense; his eyes were sharp and firm, as sharp as an eagle's eyes.

At this moment, he stood there like a vigorous pine tree, giving people a sense of unshakeability.

He stood there quietly, his thoughts drifting back to the past.

He thought of his son Lin Gong, who had unfortunately passed away, and a wave of grief and guilt washed over him.

However, when he thought of Lin Dabao, who had now returned to normal, a sense of relief welled up in his heart.

Just then, Yuan Hongdao quietly entered the hall, his steps light and silent.

He lowered his head, walked respectfully to Prime Minister Lin, and said softly:

"Prime Minister, everything has been arranged perfectly and there is no chance of anything going wrong."

Lin Xiang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the situation.

Then, he turned his gaze to the butler who had been with him for over ten years and earnestly gave him some advice:

“Hongdao, this operation is of utmost importance, as it relates to the rise and fall of the entire family.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hongdao hurriedly nodded in response, filled with trepidation.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I know perfectly well how much you trust me."

We are all His Highness Prince Qin's people, and I will never be negligent or act recklessly.

Please believe me, I will do my utmost and fulfill my mission.

Lin Xiang looked at Yuan Hongdao with satisfaction and nodded slightly in approval.

He reminded him again:

"Very good. Remember, this mission must be kept secret. Not a single word must be leaked."

This is not only a matter of our personal lives and deaths, but also of His Highness the King of Qin's great cause.

Yuan Hongdao nodded repeatedly in agreement and promised to keep the secret.

Lin Xiang saw this and felt somewhat relieved, but still did not forget to give a warning:

"We must always remain vigilant and never let our guard down."

Details determine success or failure; a slight oversight can lead to total defeat.

Lin Xiang stepped out of the mansion, looked up at the sky, and sighed at how quickly time had passed.

He reached out and stroked the thick stack of memorials hidden in his sleeve, a shrewd glint in his eyes.

These memorials embody his years of hard work and wisdom, and also serve as stepping stones for his ascent to the pinnacle of power.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Lin boarded a luxurious carriage, which slowly drove towards the palace.

The wheels rumbled as they rolled, as if foreshadowing an approaching storm.

Inside the carriage, Prime Minister Lin closed his eyes to rest, his mind constantly calculating future plans.

Inside the Oversight Council, Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair, his face expressionless, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, as if he could already see the victory to come.

Shadow stood behind Chen Pingping, asking with a worried expression:

"Are you sure there won't be any problems this time?"

Chen Pingping shook her head slightly and answered firmly:

"No problem. You should know Your Highness's strength better than I do, and we've already done so much preparation; there absolutely won't be any issues." (487)

This time you will stay in the Censorate.

If anything changes in the palace, you will be in charge of everything within the Censorate.

Hearing Chen Pingping say this, Yingzi was slightly relieved and nodded to indicate that she understood.

Afterwards, Chen Pingping sat back in his wheelchair and was pushed away from the Overwatch Council by his shadow.

To outsiders, Chen Pingping was always a cripple, unable to stand or walk.

But only a few people know that there is actually nothing wrong with his legs.

From today onwards, he will be able to stand up openly and walk between heaven and earth on his own two feet.

On the other side, after Ye Zhong finished admonishing Ye Ling'er, he immediately changed into his armor and led his men to the Kyoto garrison.

Standing calmly at the entrance of the Chaotian Hall in the Imperial Palace, Li Chengtian stepped across the threshold with steady steps.

Each step seemed to carry boundless power, drawing everyone's attention.

Upon entering the Chaotian Hall, officials along the way respectfully bowed to him, shouting:

Greetings, Your Highness, the King of Qin.

Greetings, Your Highness, King of Qin.

Please pay your respects to His Highness the Second Prince.

The voices rose and fell, showing their respect and fear of Li Chengtian.

However, Li Chengtian ignored their greetings. He merely glanced at them indifferently before raising his head and looking into the distance.

His gaze swept through the crowd and landed on Lin Xiang, Fan Jian, Chen Pingping, and others.

These three men were all important officials in the imperial court, holding prominent positions, but they appeared remarkably low-key in front of Li Chengtian.

At the same time, Li Chengtian keenly sensed Han Diao Temple not far away.

Li Chengtian and Han Diaosi exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, indicating that they understood each other's intentions.

Then, Li Chengtian walked towards the front without hesitation.

His steps were firm and powerful, as if the whole world was beneath his feet.

As Li Chengtian passed by the Third Prince Li Chengze, he suddenly stopped, a smile playing on his lips, and teased:

Third brother, you don't seem to be in good spirits today. Did you not sleep well last night?

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, the Third Prince Li Chengze couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He knew that Li Chengtian was teasing him on purpose, so he didn't intend to pay attention to his second brother's banter.

Seeing this, Li Chengtian smiled slightly.

When the Crown Prince saw Li Chengtian arrive, he smiled indifferently:

"Second Brother, you seem very happy today! I wonder what brings you this joyous occasion?"

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, Li Chengze's lips twitched, and he thought to himself:

"I'm waiting for you to cry! Let's see if you'll still be laughing then!"

Li Chengtian was not angry when he heard what the Crown Prince said. Instead, he walked up to the Crown Prince and patted him on the shoulder.

However, at that moment, Li Chengtian secretly channeled a wisp of demonic energy into the prince's body, and said with a smile:

"No rush, Your Highness. You'll find out when court begins."

Chapter 53 The Crown Prince is raising a private army and harbors rebellious intentions; he should be deposed as Crown Prince and imprisoned in the Imperial Prison.

Da da da da da!

As the footsteps drew closer, Eunuch Hou shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty has arrived."

The courtiers all knelt down and shouted in unison:

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!

Emperor Qing slowly ascended the high platform and said softly:

"Let's all get flat!"

After the officials rose, Emperor Qing sat on the dragon throne.

Once the emperor was seated, Eunuch Hou immediately shouted:

"If you have something to report, do so now; if you have nothing to report, leave the court."

Next, the officials began the normal initiation ceremony.

Time passed by, and more than half an hour quietly went by.

Li Chengtian secretly calculated the time and felt that the time was ripe, so he gave Li Chengze a wink.

Li Chengze understood immediately, realizing that his time to step in had come.

So he gave Li Kai of the Inspectorate a wink.

Upon receiving the signal, Li Kai walked to the center of the court without hesitation and shouted:

"Your Majesty, your humble servant Li Kai has something to report."

Emperor Qing waved his hand casually and said calmly, "Just say what you want to say."
