They all say I'm a puppet

Linshuo Palace, according to legend, was built by Jianping Emperor Fucan, the fourth emperor of Southern Xia. It is tens of miles away from the imperial city, but only a few miles away from the imperial mausoleum and the Temple of Heaven.

Fuyu has been on the throne for more than a year. Although he has been to the imperial mausoleum several times to worship his ancestors, he has never rested here. This kind of palace surrounded by mountains and rivers is still very new to him.In addition, it was rare for him to leave the imperial city anyway, so his mood improved a bit. The corners of his lips have been curled up since he got off the carriage, his face full of joy.

As a temporary palace, the scale of Linshuo Palace is actually not large. After all, Emperor Jianping built it here just to settle down.But after all, it is the palace of the emperors. When it was built, a lot of effort was put into it, and it has been renovated by successive emperors. Now it looks beautiful.

Fu Yu was arranged in the main hall of Linshuo Palace, and other civil and military officials were also arranged in the side halls. Of course, these are not matters that Fu Yu needs to intervene.

Fu Yu turned around in the main hall, opened the window, and saw a green hill. Fu Yu took a deep breath, turned her head and smiled at Cang Lin: "The scenery here is really good, I'm so happy to see you." I can smell the fragrance of the leaves on the mountain, um, there seems to be a fragrance of flowers."

While Fu Yu was speaking, Cang Lin had already stood in the hall quickly and turned around. After not noticing anything unusual, he returned to Fu Yu's side and followed his line of sight to look out the window.

In fact, it is not a very strange scenery, but it is not found in the imperial city. Cang Lin took a look, then turned his head to look at Fuyu: "Do you like this place?"

Fu Yu nodded: "Near mountains and rivers, beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, of course I like it." He stretched his arms and thought, "In fact, I have always hoped to find such a place after leaving the imperial city. , Where there are mountains and water, even if there is only a thatched hut, you can go to the water to catch fish every day, go hunting in the mountains, or grow a few ridges of small vegetables by yourself, and cook them for you and Uncle Zhong every day."

Cang Lin found that he especially liked when Fu Yu was imagining the future like this, especially when he had himself in that future.Sometimes he is even infected by Fu Yu's emotions and falls into his imagination.Cang Lin grew up so big, before meeting Fuyu, he had never lived a truly peaceful life, never been cared about by others, was often bullied, no one helped him share the pain, and no one shared the joy with him, all he had All you have is yourself.

Fu Yu and Cheng Zhong seemed to have given him a home, an existence that he could only envy others before.Although there were many unsatisfactory days in Changle Palace, he felt peace of mind and happiness that he had never had before.So sometimes he can't help but think, if he can really take Fu Yu and Cheng Zhong out of the imperial city, they might really be able to live the kind of life that Fu Yu imagined.

In the past, he followed Fu Yu and Cheng Zhong to find ways to escape from the imperial city, and in the future, he will lead them away.

There is a servant in the palace who is dedicated to guarding here. In a short time, mung bean soup for clearing away heat and relieving heat has been prepared and brought over. Cang Lin took the food box outside the door, and his eyes stayed on the servant's face for a while. After a while, he turned around and entered the door.

Drinking a bowl of mung bean soup in this kind of weather is naturally very refreshing, but as soon as Fu Yu lifted the lid of the food box, Cang Lin pressed his hand, took out a silver needle from his arms, and stretched it into the mung bean soup bowl inside.

Fu Yu blinked: "It's just a bowl of mung bean soup, besides, who will poison me."

Cang Lin put away the safe silver needle, and handed the spoon to Fu Yu's hand: "After all, you are the king of a country, and here is no better than in the palace. It is always better to be careful."

Fu Yu frowned and looked at Cang Lin, reached out to take the spoon from him, and began to eat mung bean soup.

Probably because Linshuo Palace is in the mountains, it is a bit cooler than the imperial city, and it is a good place to escape the heat at this time.

Twilight has come, the sun that has been scorching all day is setting, the heat of the day has dissipated, and the breeze blows into the hall along the open window. Fu Yu has just taken a bath, and her long hair is flowing like ink, flowing down her thin skin. The undershirt was dripping with water.He moved the armchair to the window, and sat there with peace of mind to enjoy the wind, which was extremely refreshing.

After an unknown amount of time, just as he was about to doze off, footsteps sounded behind him suddenly. Fu Yu managed to pull himself together, but still couldn't help yawning, and asked in a daze, "Will you wash your hands?" Is it over?"

"Yeah." Cang Lin's voice sounded from behind, because he had just finished taking a shower, he finally took off that ugly underwear, and only wore a white undershirt, but it wasn't as loose as Fuyu's. , wearing the same underwear on him does bring out a bit of heroism.

Cang Lin walked to Fu Yu's side and glanced out the window, the night in the palace was as quiet as in the imperial city, a few guards stood outside the palace, responsible for guarding Fu Yu's safety.Everything looks very similar to the imperial city, but who knows what kind of undercurrents are hidden under the calm surface.

Cang Lin stretched out his hand to touch Fu Yu's hair, probably sat by the window for a long time, and now it's finally dry, Fu Yu raised his hand, rubbed his eyes, and yawned again: "Having a rest?"

"En." Cang Lin nodded, "I have to go back tomorrow, so I can rest." After speaking, he closed the window with his hands back, and his eyes stayed on the wooden chair in front of the window for a while, before blowing out the candles by the window.The light in the hall dimmed, and the two teenagers went to bed one after the other, and after a while, there was the sound of breathing.

The night was like water, and everyone in the palace seemed to be falling asleep. Even the guards who had been walking around couldn't help dozing off at the door.

At this time, a figure gently pushed open the window of the main hall, turned over and entered, and then hit something with a soft noise. He carefully looked around and saw nothing unusual. Only then did he lightly walk towards the bed, but he didn't know that in the darkness, a pair of eyes had already locked on to him.

There is a figure on the bed, and the sound of breathing is being heard at this moment.The assassin curled his lips, drew out his dagger and stabbed at the sleeping man, but the sure blow was stopped halfway, a figure flashed out from behind the curtain, firmly locked Grabbing his wrist, he snatched the dagger while he was unaware.

Almost the next moment, the two started fighting in the hall.This was the first time since Cang Lin practiced martial arts that he was fighting someone other than Xun Cheng. Naturally, the other party's martial arts skills were not as good as Xun Cheng's, but they made moves to force Cang Lin's vitals, and the target was undoubtedly Cang Lin's life.

Fortunately, both of them had pretty good skills, and they fought from the inside to the outside.After beating like this, there was no sound, not to mention alarming the guards outside, even Fuyu on the couch was still sleeping soundly.

A figure came in through the open window at this time, Cang Lin glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and immediately recognized the man in black as Xun Cheng who hadn't shown his head all day today.I couldn't help but start beating my heart. If I was only dealing with this assassin, I should have no problem, but if Xun Cheng did it himself... I am definitely not his opponent.

But Fu Yu was still sleeping soundly on the bed behind him, even if Xun Cheng really made a move, he had no way out.

Probably due to his confused thoughts, Cang Lin's movements also slowed down. The other party noticed it, and took out another dagger from behind, stabbing Cang Lin's chest.Cang Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and before he could move, a hand suddenly tugged him, pulling him away from the blade, Xun Cheng scolded, "Do you think he'll let you down?"

After the words fell, before Cang Lin could react, he had already dodged forward, fighting with the assassin.Xun Cheng's skill is far superior to that of the assassin, and after a few moves, he took the lead. He pinched the opponent's neck with one hand like a pincer, and in Cang Lin's astonishment, he directly broke the assassin's neck .

Xun Cheng let go of his hand, let the assassin fall to the ground, turned his head to meet God's gaze, and replied flatly: "Only the dead don't talk nonsense."

Cang Lin nodded, but shook his head again: "I know he must die, even if you don't come, I plan...to kill him tonight. I just didn't expect that you would help me."

Xun Cheng curled his lips, with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Don't be sentimental, I just don't want to go too far with He Hongyi's wishes." After speaking, he patted Cang Lin's arm, "Go back, I want to call Someone came in and cleaned up the mess."

Cang Lin bit his lower lip, shook his head slightly, squatted down on the ground and picked up the dagger, before Xun Cheng could understand what he was going to do, he raised his hand and stabbed himself on the shoulder, this time without mercy, Blood gushed out immediately, soaking Cang Lin's thin underclothes.

Xun Cheng was startled, and raised his hand to tug at Cang Lin, but was avoided by the other party, so he could only lower his voice and say, "What are you doing?"

"There must be an explanation from He Hongyi." Cang Lin said, "Now, the assassin treats me as a little emperor, and after stabbing me, he alerts the guards. In order to prevent him from falling into Chen Yuan's hands, you have to personally Take it out and kill it."

Xun Cheng stared at the blood on his shoulder, with a complicated expression: "This is what you think, the way to protect the little emperor without embarrassing me?"

Cang Lin nodded, then shook his head again: "If you didn't make a move just now, I might have been really injured." As the blood flowed out, Cang Lin's voice became extremely weak, and he took a deep breath , raised his voice, "Come on! There are assassins!"

His voice was not high, but it was enough to wake up the sleeping people, and then footsteps sounded, and people rushed in from the inside and outside the hall, followed by Fuyu's exclamation before the guards: "Cang Lin! What is this?" What's going on?"
