"Could it be Consort Yang?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan's face lit up with joy, and he immediately asked eagerly.

The personal maid nodded in acknowledgment, then turned and led the way.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan immediately set off. After all, his relationship with Consort Yang was complicated. Although they were using each other, they could also control each other.

"Splash—"

After crossing the stone bridge, a pavilion stands majestically in the distance beneath a grove of locust trees.

At this moment, Consort Yang, dressed in a plain white long gown, sat solemnly on a stone bench.

"You're here?"

After a moment, she slowly turned around and looked at Lin Chuan, asking him a question.

Lin Chuan nodded slightly. Now that the two were in a cooperative relationship, the formalities of ruler and subject no longer applied, so he sat down without hesitation.

"Has the Empress finally summoned me?"

Lin Chuan spoke with a hint of resentment, originally thinking that Consort Yang would be afraid and back down.

Consort Yang frowned upon hearing this, but she knew that this person was always glib and slick.

"I would like to ask, what are your plans regarding the future struggle for the throne?"

After a moment of silence, Consort Yang looked directly at Lin Chuan and asked.

After all, they had made an agreement that if her son did not participate in the struggle for the throne, Lin Chuan would find a way to ensure the safety of her and her son.

But if her son decides to fight for the throne, she must know her chances of winning.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan was immediately stunned.

I never expected that Consort Yang would ask such a question!

At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

Frankly speaking, according to the course of history, Li Ke's end was destined to be tragic.

Regardless of whether or not they participate in the struggle for the throne!

Although he had made a promise, all he could do for now was ensure that the mother and child were safe and sound.

After all, before the system was activated, it was difficult to contend with Changsun Wuji, let alone Guanyinbi.

"A bloody and chaotic future, unpredictable!"

Finally, Lin Chuan spoke slowly with a solemn expression.

The bloodline of the royal family turned against each other, and this was the precedent set by Li Er.

Therefore, whenever the throne changed hands, the Li Tang imperial family would always be at war with each other.

This was especially true during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, when she almost exterminated all of the Li family's descendants.

"It's come to this?"

Upon hearing this, Consort Yang couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

As the former princess of the dynasty, although she knew that her father had also usurped the throne, she had never experienced such a tragic scene as Lin Chuan described!

"However, Your Majesty can rest assured that since I have made a promise, I will certainly keep it."

Lin Chuan smiled slightly, waved his hand gently, and thought to himself.

The system is merely a trump card for survival. If truly driven to the brink, it wouldn't be difficult for them to turn the palace upside down.

After all, he knows everyone's secrets!

Even the current Crown Prince Li Chengqian, he had various means to make Li Er depose him.

"In your opinion, who will ultimately ascend the throne?"

After a moment of silence, Consort Yang asked again.

To be honest, she was indeed a person with lofty ambitions. After all, she was once a princess of a country, but now she has fallen to such a state.

She could no longer regain her former glory, but what if her son could ascend the throne as emperor?

"Does Your Majesty wish to inquire about the timing of Prince Li Ke's ascension to the throne?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle.

To be honest, among all the princes, he admired Li Ke the most.

This person is not only exceptionally talented, but also possesses great courage and is deeply loved by the people.

If it weren't for Changsun Wuji's immense power in the court, how could the weak-willed Li Zhi have inherited the throne?

"That's exactly what I meant."

Consort Yang made no attempt to hide anything. In her view, rather than merely clinging to life, she would rather take a gamble and fight for a bright future.

"Are you confident?"

She spoke again, but without much expectation.

Lin Chuan possesses a unique quality that makes people unconsciously want to trust him.

"That depends on what price Your Majesty is willing to pay!"

For a moment, Lin Chuan also put away his frivolous expression and said with a solemn expression.

Risk must be proportional to reward!

"If you can do it, feel free to ask for any conditions."

Although Consort Yang frowned slightly, she responded indifferently.

After all, Lin Chuan was just a eunuch, so what kind of trouble could he possibly cause?

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan smiled; this was exactly what he wanted to hear.

"Then Your Majesty, please wait patiently."

Lin Chuan then said that Consort Yang also nodded in agreement, but this matter would be difficult to achieve in the short term.

His Majesty is in his prime and it is not yet time for him to abdicate.

……

East Market, Tea Shop.

Since parting ways with Consort Yang last night, Lin Chuan has been lost in thought.

Consort Yang's conditions were indeed quite high. If Prince Wu, Li Ke, wanted to become the crown prince, he first had to overthrow Li Chengqian and then deal with Changsun Wuji.

However, it is too early to consider this matter now, after all, Emperor Li Er is in his prime.

"Old Trump, I'm here again."

Just then, Old Li's honest voice rang out.

He has been in a good mood lately, as both the reform of the imperial examination system and the subsequent implementation of measures such as the equal-field system have begun to show results.

In particular, the support policies for merchants have gradually filled the previously depleted national treasury.

All of this achievement is thanks to Lin Chuan.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan temporarily put aside the matter of Li Ke and instead warmly welcomed him.

"No one visits without a reason. What brings you here, Old Li?"

After brewing the tea, Lin Chuan glanced at him sideways and said, "Anyway, every time Old Li visits, we always end up having a chat."

"Hehe, Lin Chuan understands me best!"

After hearing this, Li Er smiled憨厚ly.

Old Sun, standing to the side, remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was deeply impressed by Lin Chuan's talent and knowledge.

It is truly unimaginable that someone so young and a eunuch could be so knowledgeable about so many principles.

He even couldn't help but wonder if this person was the reincarnation of a reclusive, enlightened master.

After all, although the Han Dynasty abolished all other schools of thought and exclusively promoted Confucianism, many other schools of thought still survived.

For example, the military strategists and legalists still have a deep-rooted influence in the imperial court and have made significant contributions.

"Old Trump, among the current emperor's sons, who do you think is capable of shouldering this great responsibility?"

At that moment, Li Er asked bluntly.

In fact, he had been pondering this question for a long time. Although Li Chengqian was the crown prince, it was out of necessity, because since ancient times, the eldest son has been chosen over the youngest.

Although Li Er favored him, he had his own judgment on his talent and virtue.

For a moment, Changsun Wuji's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at His Majesty sideways.

He couldn't fathom why His Majesty had suddenly asked this question.

Could it be that she no longer favors the Crown Prince as much as before, and has already begun to consider deposing him?

So, which prince does His Majesty favor?

This made Changsun anxious and uneasy. In any case, the position of crown prince must be inherited by someone from the Changsun clan.

He immediately fell silent and turned his gaze to Lin Chuan.

This person's advice is extremely important; I hope he will refrain from speaking rashly!

"Pfft—"

But the next second, Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh and sprayed a mouthful of tea all over Li Er's face.

"Old Li, what exactly is the problem?"

"Are you out of your mind?"
