Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 57 If you fail, you will probably die!

"What if," Lin Xin felt her throat dry. She licked her lips and asked with difficulty, "What if he fails?"

"Failed?" Meng Yichen's eyes were blank for a moment. "If I fail, I'll probably die!"

"Will he... die?" Lin Xin's heart sank, thinking that the tall and straight young man might lose his life because of her words. She once again felt the sorrow she had felt when her teammates left one by one.

Seeing her grief-stricken expression, Meng Yichen smiled. He raised his hand and touched her head. "You have to trust Ziyuan. Since he chose to take action, he must have a perfect plan. It shouldn't fail."

However, Lin Xin was not comforted by him. The endings of these people in the original book exploded in her mind again. She turned her head and saw Gao Yong trying to sneak attack the big tiger's tail, Chu Yu and Zhou Qi were drinking, and Ling Qing and Cui Shi were arguing for some unknown reason.

These people, including Meng Yichen who was sitting next to Lin Xin, were all living people with flesh and blood, not NPCs in a book. She suddenly had an urge to do something for them.

"Um, is Grand Tutor Feng very powerful?" Lin Xin asked.

"Grand Tutor Feng Xing is the father of Concubine Feng and the maternal grandfather of the Third Prince. He was the newly crowned number one scholar chosen by the late Emperor. His students are spread all over the country, many of whom are officials from various places. His relationships are so complicated and his power is so immense that it can hardly be described. He can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand." Meng Yichen explained to her with a wry smile.

"Do those people also support him in supporting the Third Prince to replace the Crown Prince?" Lin Xin asked. Based on her experience reading novels, she knew that among the Grand Tutor's disciples, there would definitely be some who would not go along with him.

"Of course not. Most people still support orthodoxy. Otherwise, where do you think your stuff came from?"

"I'll just say it!"

"But he doesn't need so many people supporting him. As long as he can grasp a few key lifelines, no one will be able to do anything to him. Moreover, His Majesty now has great trust in him, and with the Third Prince's status rising, it is inevitable that the Crown Prince will become increasingly powerless."

"What about you? If I'm not mistaken, you all should come from extraordinary backgrounds! Why do you have to be the princelings? Don't tell me you support orthodoxy." Lin Xin said the last sentence before Meng Yichen opened his mouth to speak.

Meng Yichen was silent for a long time this time. Lin Xin thought he would not answer. Then he said slowly, "The Third Prince will not be a good emperor. If he is allowed to take the throne, the people will suffer."

This was an answer that Lin Xin had never thought of. When she was in school, when analyzing the articles of the ancient sages in Chinese class, they would always talk about the feelings of worrying about the country and the people. She always thought that it was probably just a slogan for future generations. But now, after listening to Meng Yichen's words, for some reason, she actually felt a sense of substitution, and a tragic emotion arose in her heart.

"What's wrong? Don't you believe what I said?" Meng Yichen asked her with a smile.

Lin Xin shook her head and asked in a hoarse voice, "I'm thinking about Mo Ziyuan. Does he think the same?"

Meng Yichen smiled again. "Ziyuan is different from us. He also carries the responsibility of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion on his shoulders. His choice is much more difficult than ours."

"Duke Dingguo's Mansion?" Lin Xin repeated subconsciously.

"Ziyuan is the prince of Dingguo."

"Oh! So does their family support the Crown Prince or the Third Prince?" Lin Xin asked.

"Duke Dingguo is a staunch royalist. He only listens to the Emperor." Meng Yichen then briefly explained to Lin Xin the distribution of various forces within the court. He concluded, "Ziyuan's hasty decision this time is due to Grand Tutor Feng's overly arrogant and blatant behavior. If things continue like this, even if the Crown Prince succeeds in his bid for the throne, there won't be many ministers left to use."

Lin Xin nodded in understanding and quickly made a decision in her mind.

She asked Meng Yichen, "Do you know the way from here to the capital? Is there a wider and easier road?"

Meng Yichen nodded halfway when he suddenly turned his head and looked over. "What do you want to do? Even if we leave now, it's too late."

Lin Xin took a deep breath. "Whether I can make it in time or not, I want to go. I don't want to regret it in the future."

Meng Yichen's brows were deeply furrowed as if they were tied together. At that moment, he felt a very strong sadness from Lin Xin, so strong that it was suffocating.

"How are you going to get there?" he asked.

"I have my own way, but I don't know the way, so are you willing to go with me?" Lin Xin looked into Meng Yichen's eyes and asked seriously.

"I..." After staring at each other for a long time, Meng Yichen gave in. "Okay, I'll go with you on this trip, but you know my body. First, you have to convince Cui Lao to prescribe me a medicine that can last me a round trip. After that, we have to prepare the horses, and..."

Meng Yichen's voice stopped abruptly. He could feel Lin Xin's hand on his back. A constant stream of warmth flowed from her hand into his body, forming a cycle that circulated in his body over and over again, taking away the stagnation and heaviness in his body bit by bit.

"We'll set off tonight. If everything goes well, we'll be back in about two days. I'll ask Mr. Cui to look after Nannan for the time being. You should figure out a solution on your own and don't tell them the truth." Lin Xin said to Meng Yichen indifferently, taking her hand back.

"Me, you, me..." Feeling the lightness of his body, Meng Yichen's mind went blank.

"Let's split up and remember not to expose me, otherwise I have ten thousand ways to make you suffer a fate worse than death. Do you understand?"

Meng Yichen nodded dazedly, which made Lin Xin doubt whether he had heard what she said. So she repeated the threat seriously again, and finally he came back to his senses.

"Don't worry, Miss Lin. I will never tell anyone about you. I swear on my life!"

"Okay, let's see what you do. I don't believe your oaths."

Looking at the excited Meng Yichen, Lin Xin sneered in her heart, "Just be excited for a while, I'll let you see the effect of the magic flower later. I hope you can still remember what you did by then."

Lin Nan is a very well-behaved child. When he heard that his sister was busy these two days and needed him to stay with the master for two days, he agreed very readily. This made Lin Xin feel a little unhappy for some reason, as if her own child was taken away to someone else's nest.

Everything went smoothly for Meng Yichen as well. No one knew how he fooled those soldiers, but they actually followed Cui Lao's carriage and left without saying a word. Lin Xin was truly amazed at his ability to fool people.
