Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 207 How dare the grassroots lie to the emperor?

Lin Xiao was surprised when he heard this:
"How did you know that I was going to hand over the salt making technique?"

She felt more and more that there was something wrong with the coachman.

Seeing Lin Xiao's vigilant look, the driver sighed slightly, and said slowly:

"Master Cai was muttering to himself before getting into the car, saying that he was going to hand over his salt-making skills, so I just asked."

"I muttered to myself?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, not quite believing it.

"correct."

The coachman nodded.

Seeing the sincere expression on the driver's face, Lin Xiao also relaxed a lot.

Maybe she really thought too much.

But she didn't delve into it any further, and turned around and knocked on the door of Li Yufan's mansion.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Lin Xiao came to Li Yufan's study.

At this moment, Li Yufan was practicing calligraphy on the desk.

Seeing Lin Xiao coming, she was slightly taken aback:
"It's so late, boy Lin is still here? Is there something urgent to find me?"

"Prince Pan, please make the decision for the boy!"

Lin Xiao fell to his knees with a plop, his face full of indignation and sadness.

Li Yu frowned:
"Oh? What happened to make you so excited?"

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and told Li Yuxuan the whole story.

After listening, Li Yufan fell into silence.

He didn't speak, and Lin Xiao became even more disturbed:
"My lord, please help introduce the boy to the emperor!"

Li Yufan raised his eyes to look at Lin Xiao: "Do you want to sue for imperial court?"

Lin Xiao shook his head:
"The boy wants to hand over the art of making salt to the emperor!"

Li Yuxuan touched his nose and smiled:
"Have you made up your mind?"

"Think about it!"

Lin Xiao answered decisively, his eyes full of firmness and determination.

"Okay, since you have already made up your mind, then you should stay here first! Tomorrow morning, the king will send someone to take you to the palace. Don't regret it then!"

"Boy will never regret it!"

"Hahaha……"

Li Yuxuan smiled heartily, stood up and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder:

"Okay! This king asks you something."

"what's up?"

"I heard that Prime Minister Wang recently found his daughter who was living abroad. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback when he heard the words, and secretly screamed in his heart that something was wrong, but his expression was extremely calm:

"The boy doesn't understand what the prince means?"

"The wedding is just around the corner, and the prime minister suddenly found his daughter who had been missing for many years. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

Li Yuzhen stared straight at Lin Xiao, as if trying to read something from her expression.

Lin Xiao smiled lightly and said:
"Your lord, don't you think it's the kid's idea for the prime minister to find his daughter?"

"Hehe, you know best whether it was your idea!"

Li Yuxuan said as he walked out of the study.

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Lin Xiao, and said seriously:

"This king said you don't care about this matter, you must listen, alas! This king advises you, don't dig your own grave!"

After speaking, Li Yuxuan strode away without staying for half a second.

Lin Xiao looked at the back of the far away, with a cold and complicated light shining in his eyes.

She didn't expect that Li Yujuan already knew the truth.

It seems that she really underestimated the prince's city and wrist.

The next day, just after dawn, Li Yufan sent someone to take Lin Xiao to the palace, and then left in a hurry.

Lin Xiao sat in the carriage, raised the curtains and looked out.

She couldn't help but lament that the imperial palace was really luxurious. Just by looking at the outside, one could tell that the inside must be resplendent and magnificent.

After driving for about half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the imperial study where Li Yuquan was.

Lin Xiao got out of the carriage with the help of the maidservant.

At this time, Lin Xiaocai noticed that the palace road was covered with red carpets, one after another, stretching for more than ten meters.

At the end of the red carpet is the resplendent Imperial Study Room, shining brightly in the sun.

Lin Xiao walked in with graceful steps, but as soon as she stepped over the threshold, she felt a majestic momentum rushing towards her.

She couldn't help shivering, and shrank her neck subconsciously.

She knew that Li Yuquan was waiting for her arrival inside.

Lin Xiao was a little apprehensive, but he still kept his mind steady and walked towards the imperial study.

As soon as she stepped through the threshold, a middle-aged man in a purple robe walked up to her and looked her up and down.

The man was about 30 years old, his thick beard set off his sharp outline, his eyes were very sharp, and he seemed to be able to read people's hearts.

Lin Xiao felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and felt a little panic in his heart.

But she quickly stabilized her mind and bent her knees slightly:

"Cao Min sees His Majesty, may Your Majesty be in good health!"

Li Yuquan sized her up for a while, then finally withdrew her gaze and said:
"Free gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Xiao looked up, and saw that Li Yuquan had already sat back on the dragon chair, staring at her with piercing eyes, as if testing her courage.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

"Are you the Lin Xiao that Lord Pian said?"

Li Yuquan spoke in a deep voice, with a bit of sharpness in his voice.

"If you return to the emperor, it is the grass people."

Li Yuquan narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Lin Xiao for a moment:
"It is said that you can not only make salt but also compose poetry?"

"true."

Lin Xiao nodded with a calm face.

Anyway, I came here today to hand over the art of salt making to Li Yu, so there is no need to hide it deliberately.

Her answer made Li Yuquan's eyes brighten, and then he frowned again:
"I ask you, how did you acquire the salt-making technique?"

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the art of making salt has always been a secret art of the royal family, and only the royal family who specialized in salt making far away by the sea and the emperor who ascended the throne would know.

But now, Lin Xiao, a mere plain-headed commoner, can actually learn the art of making salt!

Doubts abounded in his heart, could it be that Lin Xiao was an immortal who descended from the sky?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he suppressed it severely.

He can't allow anyone to threaten his status, even if that person is really a god!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this incident is absurd. One day, when the grass people were taking a nap, they dreamed of a white-bearded grandfather. In his dream, he taught the grass people how to make salt."

"Are you sure this kind of thing is a dream?"

Li Yuquan frowned, obviously doubting Lin Xiao's words.

Although he believes that there are gods in the sky, it does not mean that he believes that there will be pies in the sky.

"How dare the grassroots lie to the emperor? This is really a dream!"

Lin Xiao quickly argued.

She didn't want to annoy the young king and lead to her own death.

"Did you really dream about it?"

"Exactly!"

Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, but secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

"In that case, let me ask you again, who is that old man? Did he tell you anything when he taught you how to make salt?"
