Reborn Di daughter seeks the world

Chapter 158 King Duan's Promise

The study suddenly fell silent, Duan Wang's sharp eyes fell on the young man who was as indifferent as a breeze, and the air gradually became a little oppressive.

Cui Zhiyuan glanced at King Duan, then at the calm young man, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, waiting for his answer.

However, there seemed to be an invisible wall around the boy to remove all the oppression around him.His delicate eyebrows and eyes suddenly stretched, and those clear eyes gradually lifted up, facing Shangduan Wang's eyes, and suddenly the smile on his face bloomed, as clear and clear as the spring breeze in March, and the corners of his mouth were slightly drawn. , with a bit of teasing in his words, "Why does Your Highness think that he can be a prince?"

As soon as these words came out, Duan Wang's face darkened instantly, and killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Cui Zhiyuan's expression also changed drastically, he looked at Ling Zichu and frowned and said, "Patriarch Ling, don't be rude, your words are too much, please apologize to Your Highness."

Duan Wang snorted coldly, "Patriarch Ling speaks so loudly. If this king is not suitable to be a prince, then who is suitable?!" A small Youzhou Ling family dared not to take him seriously, but a lowly merchant That's all.

The smile on Ling Zichu's handsome face remained undiminished. Looking at King Duan's cold and angry face, he said calmly: "I know that loyal words are harsh to my ears. His Highness Duan Wang must be thinking in his heart. Your Highness. But..." He raised his eyebrows and looked at King Duan, "If His Highness is really sure that he can become the crown prince, why did you summon me today? How can such a lowly person like me get into such a noble and noble place?" Duan Wangfu."

As soon as these words came out, Cui Zhiyuan was stunned, and the amazement in his gaze towards the young man deepened. As expected of the Patriarch of the Ling family, he will always find his place.He glanced at King Duan above him, and nodded at him.

"Why do you think that this king depends on you to get the crown prince? Don't forget that this king is now the most powerful prince in Donghua." Although King Duan's face was not good-looking, his tone was much better than before .

Ling Zichu lowered his head suddenly, and chuckled, "The most powerful person?!" There was a bit of playfulness in that voice, "Your Highness is saying that you have the support of the Lu family, the number one family in Donghua? But don’t forget, Your Highness, back then King Huan also had the support of the Chu family who were more powerful than the Lu family, but what happened to him? His head was in a different place, and his whole family was copied and beheaded.”

As soon as these words came out, King Duan's face tightened suddenly, he pursed his lips, and said coldly: "This king is not King Huan..."

"It's precisely because His Highness is not King Huan that you are the most uncertain in your heart, isn't it?" Ling Zichu suddenly raised his head and looked at the gloomy man above him, "As the queen's son, King Huan has the support of the most powerful Chu family behind him. The reputation of the common people is much better than the current King Jin, and it is not defeated! Your Highness, how can you compare with King Huan? In terms of background, let’s not say that Your Highness is just the adopted son of a noble concubine. How can a concubine compete with a legitimate son? , the Lu family and the Chu family have both literature and military, so the Chu family is naturally superior in terms of strength. In terms of sincerity, the Chu family and King Huan are related by blood, but what about His Highness and the Lu family? Your Highness is just the son of a palace man, you can't look down on me King Jing's status, I'm afraid others may not think highly of you..."

"Presumptuous!" Duan Wang slapped the table, stood up abruptly, glared at the man lowering his head, and said angrily, how dare he talk to him like this.What he cares most about in this life is his birth, he is not the son of a noble concubine, he is just born of a palace servant.

"Hehe..." A low laugh came, and Ye Lingxi raised her eyes, looking at the face that was distorted due to anger. "Your Highness can't take it anymore. It really disappoints Ling. Your Highness doesn't want to fight for the crown prince." She got up straight away, "Ling is leaving."

Seeing that Ling Zichu was about to leave, Cui Zhiyuan quickly stood up, glanced at King Duan, and saw that although his complexion was not good, his anger had dissipated, and he said quickly: "Patriarch Ling, wait a moment, His Highness was just joking with the Patriarch just now, to be honest, Your Highness I also know my own disadvantages, so I hope Patriarch Ling can help. His Highness will be crowned a great treasure in the future, and the privileges that the Ling family can enjoy in Donghua will definitely satisfy Patriarch Ling."

Ling Zichu turned his head to look at King Duan above, and said with a half-smile, "Ling is just a merchant, how can he climb up to His Highness?"

Cui Zhiyuan looked at the young man in front of him. The members of the Ling family had a bit of arrogance in their bones. They never bowed their heads when they were in trouble. They could be said to be uncrowned emperors among the people. Who would let them control the people's livelihood.And although this boy is young, his maturity and sobriety are incomparable to King Duan. With the support of such a smart and capable person, why worry about King Duan failing in his great career.

"Your Highness..." Cui Zhiyuan looked at King Duan and yelled. This Patriarch Ling is just telling His Highness that Ling Zichu is not someone who can command him. If you want him to serve you, you must follow his rules. First of all, you must respect him. he.And he didn't have to follow Duan Wang.That's right, the dignified Patriarch Ling, no matter which country he goes to, he is afraid that he will be the object of curry favor with others.

Duan Wang frowned, and glanced at the indifferent young man, his eyes were still sharp, "I want to know, what does Master Ling want to get from me by helping me?"

Ling Zichu turned his head to look at King Duan, and smiled suddenly, "Why does Your Highness think that I am helping you? Maybe, what you want to do happens to be the same as mine?!" The smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly widened, "Besides , I, Ling Zichu, do whatever I want, including putting someone on the throne."

Cui Zhiyuan looked at the arrogant young man in front of him, and suddenly felt that the conditions he had just offered were a bit unsightly. If the Ling family didn't help His Highness, they wouldn't be respected all the same in Donghua.It is said that the members of the Ling family are arrogant, but now that they look at Ling Zichu, they know that their reputation is well-deserved. If they rely on the strength of the Ling family to push someone to become emperor, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"This king was rude just now." Duan Wang glanced at Ling Zichu and said calmly, "I hope that sir can help this king achieve a great cause. At that time, this king is willing to share the world with him."

"There is no need to divide the country. The Ling family will not be contaminated with imperial power." Ling Zichu said lightly, and went directly to the seat beside him and sat down again. "I just hope that His Highness will not kill Ling at that time, and don't let Ling down."

Cui Zhiyuan twitched his brows and glanced at the young man in front of him. His half-joking words were clearly warning His Highness not to try to get rid of him.His body trembled unknowingly, offending the Ling family... At least for now, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Duan Wang looked at the young man, but this time he was not angry, and sat down, "In that case, then, sir, tell me what to do next?"

"How to do it?" Ling Zichu chuckled, "The king of Jin is showing signs of falling out of favor, and His Highness has just won the praise of the Emperor. With the support of the Lu family behind him, His Highness has a bright future."

As soon as these words came out, King Duan frowned, and glanced at the young man, "Sir, why bother with this king, you know the situation of this king."

Cui Zhiyuan saw that King Duan was showing signs of getting angry again, so he hurried out to smooth things over, "Patriarch Ling, as you just said, although His Highness has the support of the Lu family now, if the Lu family can support His Highness, they will support other people. After all, His Highness is not Concubine Yun Gui Parents and children, and His Highness is getting more and more wings, so it may not be the heir to the throne that the Lu family hopes, after all, His Highness is not something that the Lu family can control casually."

"Since you all know the possibility of the Lu family's defection, it would be absurd to hesitate here." Ling Zichu glanced at the two of them, with a ruthless look on his lips, "Since there are people blocking the way, then let this blocking stone Just clean it up. Since the Lu family is vacillating, then get rid of the source of his wobbling and make it your Highness's choice!"

Duan Wang's eyes darkened, and his eyes on the young man in the lower head changed again and again, but he didn't speak.

Cui Zhiyuan glanced at Ling Zichu, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, then frowned and said, "If that's the case, the Lu family may not be able to explain it."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain, then you just wait for the position of King Duan to be replaced by a baby whose gender is unknown." Ling Zichu said calmly, her eyes fixed on King Duan above, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

King Duan clenched his fists tightly, met that indifferent gaze, his pupils tightened suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "No one can take the place of this king."

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Zichu had already left.

Cui Zhiyuan looked at Prince Duan and said in a deep voice: "Has your Highness really decided to break with the Lu family?" He did not agree with breaking with the Lu family. The current King Jin does not have the help of his mother's family and is always holding back. If the prince also breaks with the Lu family, The consequences were unimaginable.

King Duan glanced at Cui Zhiyuan and snorted coldly, "This king has never had a chance to choose. Back then they chose this king because of the humble background of this king's biological mother and wanted to threaten him. Now this king has power in his hands." , They just want to support the unidentified piece of flesh in Concubine Qi's belly, and they really regard this king as a weak and deceitful person. The person who assassinated King Jing this time, I have already secretly ordered not to do anything, but those corpses The people who found this king in the middle, their Lu family wanted this king to die, if this king doesn't resist, let alone the crown prince, I am afraid that this life will be gone."

Cui Zhiyuan's face changed when he heard this, and it took him a long time before he nodded.But he had to say in his heart that this was a risky game.Then, the rest can only pin their hopes on Ling Zichu.

Although Ling Zichu is young, his old achievements in his bones are beyond the reach of anyone who has lived half his life.Did he really help His Highness?

After leaving Prince Duan's mansion, Ling Zichu got into the carriage directly at the door.

The carriage drove to an alley, and suddenly the horse stopped, neighing upwards, and the young man sitting in the carriage opened his eyes, his eyes showing a bit of coldness.

The murderous aura came from outside the carriage, and a dozen men in black appeared at some time and surrounded the carriage.
