On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

Seeing that he was panting and about to die, Lin Yi loosened his grip.

"puff!!"

"Cough cough cough..." Sun Fu fell to the ground with a thud, clutching his neck and coughing violently, gasping for breath.

Lin Yi stepped forward, hands behind his back: "I'll ask you one last time, can you do it?"

Sun Fu lay on the ground.

To be honest, he had served two emperors, but he had never been so close to death.

Moreover, judging from Lin Yi's posture, if I don't agree, I will definitely die!

Enough is enough. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Let's save our lives first.

"This old servant...this old servant promises...this old servant will definitely do as he says." No one would risk their own life, especially someone like Sun Fu who cherishes his life.

At the same time, he understood why Lin Yi had insisted on bringing him here.

He was trying to use this incident to cover up his own scandal.

Once the news spread that the emperor had slept with Lady Li, everyone would realize that Lady Li and the emperor had conspired to frame the regent.

After all, the Prince's Mansion still had a good reputation among the people. As long as the situation was muddied, the people would still be willing to believe him.

In this way, Lin Yi's reputation was completely cleared, and the people would no longer curse him. On the contrary, Emperor Nangong Xiong, who forcibly took his minister's wife, had his reputation plummet and became a laughing stock of the world.

This tactic of shifting blame is absolutely vicious.

Thinking of this, Sun Fu felt a chill of fear.

How could I have been so careless to secretly meet such a cunning man, intending to benefit from both sides?

Lin Yi turned around and walked back to the stone table to sit down. Looking at Sun Fu lying on the ground, he continued speaking.

"Jonner alone is not enough."

Sun Fugang was about to get up from the ground when he heard this, and he paused again.

That's not all?

What else do you want to do?

"When Nangong Xiong takes Li as his concubine, Luo Hongtu must witness it with his own eyes. Then you should arrange for a few reliable maids and palace maids to spread the news quickly. Within three days, everyone in the capital must know about it."

!

Sun Fu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Too bad!

Lin Yi not only wants to disgust the emperor, but also wants to drive Luo Hongtu to his death!

Now, Luo Hongtu's family, except for a few children, all live in the palace, and their lives are worse than those of pigs and dogs.

If he were to witness his wife being forced onto the bed by the emperor, wouldn't he be furious?

Moreover, if this matter were to get out, it would be a great blow to the dignity of the royal family.

Not everyone can be like Li Shimin, who killed his brothers and then took care of his sister-in-law and siblings, and was praised by later generations.

Especially at this critical juncture when Nangong Xiong mobilized 200,000 troops.

You should know that those vassal kings were fighting under the banner of "purging the emperor's corrupt advisors and eliminating traitors."

If an emperor even steals the wives of his own ministers, who would be willing to risk their lives for such a shameless and incompetent ruler?

Lin Yi is trying to undermine the emperor's appeal at its root.

My goodness, these young people these days are all incredibly ruthless.

"This old servant understands, this old servant will make the arrangements properly." Sun Fu lowered his head and agreed in a trembling voice, then got up and knelt properly in front of Lin Yi.

Since this deadly task can no longer be avoided, we must try to gain some benefits.

Otherwise, it would be a huge loss to risk losing your head doing it yourself.

"Your Highness, this matter is far too risky. If His Majesty finds out that this old servant was behind it all, I will surely die a horrible death."

Lin Yi looked at him, a cold smile creeping onto his lips: "What? Trying to negotiate with me?"

Sun Fu quickly lowered his head, putting on a pitiful and loyal dog-like appearance.

"This old servant dares not negotiate with Your Highness. This old servant only wants to ask, if this old servant risks his life to accomplish this, what will this old servant gain? Your Highness cannot expect this old servant to go and die for nothing."

In fact, Sun Fu was also afraid of death, but who would be willing to betray their original master without any real benefits?

He had already thought it through. As long as Lin Yi promised him gold and silver treasures today, or guaranteed him wealth and honor, he could continue to maneuver between Lin Yi and the emperor.

This is also one of his strengths.

When the emperor's 200,000-strong army arrives, everything will be resolved.

If Lin Yi loses, he can pin the blame entirely on Lin Yi, claiming that Lin Yi forced him to do it at knifepoint, and that he was also a victim.

If Lin Yi wins, he can use this incident to curry favor with Lin Yi and ask for a reward.

Betting on both sides guarantees a profit.

Lin Yi snorted coldly at his shrewd appearance.

"Heh, Sun Fu..." Lin Yi picked up the teacup, staring at the tea leaves inside, seemingly reluctant to see his old face. "If you can do that, I guarantee you a peaceful old age."

Sun Fu felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

A peaceful old age?

What kind of condition is that?

He was about to ask for some more tangible benefits when Lin Yi said something that scared him half to death.

"As for your dream of becoming a eunuch emperor, forget about it."

boom!

These words struck Sun Fu like a bolt of lightning from the heavens, freezing him in place. His eyes widened in disbelief, almost bulging out of their sockets.

How could Lin Yi have known!

How could he know I wanted to be emperor!

Sun Fu kept this secret in his heart for sixty years, never telling anyone, not even his most trusted godson.

He usually acted as loyal as a dog in front of the emperor and humble and yielding in front of the officials. He even hid in the chief eunuch's mansion every night to secretly read the annals of emperors throughout history, indulging in a crazy dream that no one in the world dared to imagine.

He thought he had hidden himself perfectly, and that no one in the world knew about his ambition.

But now, Lin Yi has revealed this secret so casually.

The eunuch emperor's dream...

Sun Fu's knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Lin Yi.

He is not human.

He's the devil!

He even knows my deepest secrets!

Sun Fu's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

Originally, he was considering hedging his bets between Lin Yi and the emperor, but now it seems Lin Yi has no intention of losing anything. He can completely control himself just by protecting this secret!

"Your Highness...this old servant...this old servant..." Sun Fu stammered, his teeth chattering, unable to finish a single sentence.

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Lin Yi thought to himself, "Eunuchs are eunuchs, all spineless cowards."

"Don't be nervous. As long as you obey and get things done, I won't kill you. Go back and hurry up. Remember, I only care about the results."

Now that things have come to this, what else can Sun Fu say?

He could only obediently kowtow to Lin Yi and serve him to the death.

"Yes! This old servant will take care of it immediately! This old servant will definitely do a perfect job and will not disappoint Your Highness!"

Sun Fu got up, stumbled and ran out of the bamboo forest, and then returned to the palace in a sedan chair.

He kept wiping away cold sweat the whole way; his undershirt was already soaked with sweat and stuck to his body uncomfortably.

Stumbling back to the steward's mansion, Sun Fu slumped into a grand chair, picked up the teapot on the table, and gulped down a large pot of cold tea before he could barely calm himself down.

I still have a choice.

If we don't help Lin Yi, we'll definitely die next time we meet, but right now we don't need to take any risks.

Alternatively, if he chooses to help Lin Yi, he will be completely on the same pirate ship as him, and his dream of becoming emperor will never come true.

What to do...

In fact, Sun Fu was not worried that Lin Yi would tell Nangong Xiong about his dream of becoming emperor. He had served Nangong Xiong for so long that the two had a deep emotional bond, and he was not afraid of being turned against him.

The question is, does Nangong Xiong really have a way to get rid of Lin Yi?

If I can't, then I'm sure I'll die.

Forget it, let's get this done discreetly first and save our lives.

But the problem is, how can Nangong Xiong sleep with Li Shi in a legitimate way?

Although Nangong Xiong was also lustful, he valued his virtue as emperor extremely. Letting him sleep with Lady Li would be impossible unless he was on drugs and went insane.

That means it must have been Li who took the initiative to seduce him...

hiss……

"Hehehehe..." Sun Fu chuckled sinisterly, raising his eyes and saying, "Someone, call Gouzi here."

"yes!"
