Film and Television: Immortality Begins in the Kingdom of Qing

Let me tell you, the fish in the lake in my Cloud Palace Garden are very intelligent; they even blow bubbles, it's so much fun!

"Oh, a little fish blowing bubbles, Da Bao will definitely like it."

Lin Wan'er stuck out her tongue, a mix of mischief and delight on her face.

Li Chengqian, however, gently tapped the little beauty's head with his index finger and said:

"You can play, but you're not allowed to go into the water to catch fish. You can't let anyone catch one and put it in a basin."

"Know it."

Lin Wan'er held her head, nodding her little head hurriedly, and said weakly:

"Can I have another roast chicken?"

"Haha, eat whatever you want, my Cloud Heaven Palace has no shortage of food."

Li Chengxian got up, not intending to stay there any longer. He knew that Lin Wan'er would be sleepy after finishing her meal.

This extremely weak body can only be slowly healed using the Longevity Qi before it can resume close-range activities.

He glanced at the clever little maid beside him, who was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.

"Don't be afraid of me. When Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter arrive, communicate with them properly and take good care of your young lady together."

"It's an adult."

Li Chengxian smiled, shook her head, and left, not intending to correct the little maid's mistake in addressing her.

However, after he left...

The little maid started shouting again.

"Miss, Miss, how are you? You ate so much just now, please don't have a relapse."

Lin Wan'er was stunned for a moment and then said:

"I feel like I'm feeling a bit better. That handsome guy from earlier, who knows martial arts, used a strange kind of internal energy to nourish my body."

"what!"

The little maid jumped up with joy.

"That's wonderful, Miss. I thought you were captured by a bully in a picture book and whipped to vent your anger. After all, a beautiful girl like you is bound to be coveted by many bad people."

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a handsome young man, even more dashing than those scholars and noblemen outside. And he even helped the young lady recuperate.

I remember Master saying that he had searched and found that only a Grandmaster could alleviate Miss's condition, but they were all extremely important figures.

"They wouldn't be willing either, as that would be too taxing on their cultivation."

"ah!"

Lin Wan'er's mouth opened slightly.

She remembered it too.

"Does that mean that the handsome brother was sacrificing himself to help me heal? We can't let him do that next time he comes."

"Oh, Xiaohong, have you been secretly looking at those novels and picture books again? Hide them properly, it's so embarrassing!"

Lin Wan'er blushed as if she had thought of something.

After all, they were raised in captivity from a young age and could only learn about the outside world through novels and picture books, which often included plots of people being married by auspicious clouds or rescued by martial arts masters.

"Hehe, Miss, when I left the manor, I secretly carried a bundle, it was so heavy!"

…………

Lin Wan'er and her maid Xiao Hong were playing around on the second floor of Baiyujing, but Lin Ruofu, who returned to the Lin residence, had a sullen face and looked bitter and resentful.

He happened to run into his second son, Lin Gong, who was returning home dressed in martial arts attire, and couldn't help but coldly shout:

"Where have you run off to again? Your sister has been kidnapped, do you even know that?!"

Lin Gong, who was enjoying the fact that Princess Li Yunrui had assigned him a task and was preparing to give him an important position, was suddenly startled.

"What! Father, who has taken my sister away? How dare someone come to our Lin family to snatch her? Does he have a death wish?!"

Lin Ruofu snorted coldly.

"Don't want to live? I think you're the one who doesn't want to live. You never set foot in the capital. Why don't you learn from those scholars who go to the capital?"

My family, a prestigious Prime Minister's residence, governs with civil administration. Yet, in your generation, the only hope lies with you, who only thinks about mingling in the Censorate. You are utterly unfilial! What do you think the Censorate is?!

“Father, I get a headache just looking at those books. You know that even an ordinary member of the Imperial Guard, or even just a member of the Censorate, is more powerful than a scholar who has studied for ten years to pass the imperial examination.”

Lin Ruofu waved his sleeve, about to slap the boy, but couldn't bring himself to do it.

Because this was his only normal son, the future hope of the Lin family.

"Fine, you'd better watch yourself, but I'm warning you, stay away from that woman!"

Chapter Nineteen: Wu Bo'an: The Second Young Master is Brave! [Please add to your favorites]

If Emperor Qing was too ruthless, squandering his son's wealth, then Lin Ruofu was simply too indulgent.

They are two completely opposite extremes.

One was timid and cowardly, the other was lawless and unruly.

Lin Gong said weakly:

"What about my younger sister?"

As someone who knows Lin Wan'er's background.

Lin Gong knew that as long as his younger sister was safe, the power he could rely on would remain immense.

Lin Ruofu, however, turned and left.

He didn't hear his second son Lin Gong's grumbling, nor did he intend to ask what Li Yunrui wanted from him again.

Because of Li Chengxian's influence, Lin Gong received the mission from Princess Li Yunrui ahead of time.

The condition for the exchange was to help Lin Gong enter the Overwatch Council and obtain the position of Inspector.

If this happened in the capital, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if it happened elsewhere, even a local prefect would have to bow down.

Moreover, this power is universally applicable throughout the Qing Kingdom; it means a low rank but great power.

At this moment, Lin Gong's mind was filled with thoughts of how to take the life of Fan Xian, the illegitimate son of the Vice Minister of Revenue, outside the capital.

Similarly, Li Yunrui was making plans meticulously.

Even though Lin Wan'er has now been taken into Yuntian Palace by Li Chengxian, Fan Xian has no idea how to choose between sending his nominal brother-in-law to kill him.

If you are too kind-hearted, you will bring endless trouble upon yourself.

If they really take drastic measures, he will definitely lose the power of the Imperial Treasury.

Even Lin Ruofu wouldn't let him go.

This is an unsolvable vicious cycle.

However, what Li Yunrui didn't know was that Fan Xian was always accompanied by a ruthless, life-threatening Grandmaster.

Just as Lin Gong was racking his brains trying to figure out what to do, a dejected figure stormed out of the main hall of the mansion.

"Guest Minister Wu".

Lin Gong took the initiative to greet him.

He held this guest advisor, who was in the Prime Minister's office and could navigate various factions to broker deals, in high regard.

After all, the Southern Qing court is currently weak, and there are not many officials who can become strategists.

Since Wu Bo'an was able to catch the eye of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu and even involve various forces, he must have his own abilities.

Wu Bo'an clasped his hands and bowed slightly.

"Second son."

"Seeing how troubled and angry Mr. Wu is, has something happened?"

In a moment of madness, Wu Bo'an recounted how he had advised Lin Ruofu to kill Fan Xian, who was about to arrive in the capital, and how he had been scolded by the in a bad mood.

At the same time, his eyes lit up. Since the Prime Minister wouldn't do it, it didn't mean the Second Young Master wouldn't.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Gong suddenly understood after hearing this. It seemed that he wasn't the only one who wanted that brat dead.

However, the tasks conflicted.

"Unfortunately, sir, I must kill Fan Xian before he enters the capital."

Wu Bo'an was completely dumbfounded.

Before entering Beijing?

Is this second young master an idiot, or is his information source too inadequate, unaware that Fan Xian is accompanied by Emperor Qing's Red Armored Cavalry, and possibly even the Black Cavalry?

Even if you dare to touch the Black Knights, the Red Armored Iron Cavalry represents Emperor Qing.

How many heads do you have to slap Emperor Qing in the face in the Qing Kingdom?

As someone who travels among various factions and plots, I've heard plenty of unofficial accounts of Emperor Qing's might.

That was a true forbidden emperor; unless someone was tired of living, anyone who touched him would die!

"The second young master is brave and skilled, but I have a wife and children, so I will not get involved."

Wu Bo'an was so angry that he stomped his feet and ran away, leaving Lin Gong completely bewildered.

Holy crap, how am I brave?

"Sir, please don't go! Do you know where Wan'er has gone?"

Wu Bo'an ran even faster. He knew about this news, and he had finally managed to find out from the Crown Prince. He was almost scared to death and really couldn't tell anyone.

Lin Gong was shocked. After wandering around outside for a few days, everyone seemed like a different person when he came back.

The eldest princess said there was no problem, so since she had already spoken, what was there to be afraid of? Let's do it.

The more Lin Gong thought about it, the more agitated he became. After all, it wasn't a good thing. He had to do it secretly. If that didn't work, he would have to use his father, the prime minister, to have his retainers surround and kill him.

On the other side, Li Yunrui was also discussing with Li Chengze what to do next.

Even if the ending is designed to be certain death, how can you put all your eggs in one basket?
