My lord, your plan is too obvious

In the end, Yan Liu came over and called Lin Lang to go downstairs for dinner. Lin Lang and Cang Lin looked at each other thoughtfully.

"Master Lin, you can go downstairs for dinner." Yan Liu knocked on the door.

Cang Lin took a step ahead of Lin Lang, stood up and opened the door.

Yan Liu was stunned when he saw Cang Lin, then nodded slightly, and said respectfully:

"Young Master Rin."

"I have booked Mingyue Residence on the second floor, tell your master to go there."

"Yes." Yan Liu closed the door and backed out.

"You go with me." Cang Lin turned and said to Lin Lang.

"If you want to talk about things..." Although Lin Lang was also sent here this time, he also knew that the things that King Yan and Cang Lin talked about must have involved a lot. Wouldn't it be good if he heard too much...

"There's nothing you can't listen to." Cang Lin said succinctly, and then walked out of the room, "Come here."

When Lin Lang heard Cang Lin say this, he followed without any further hesitation.

--------

When Si Nian and Ruohua arrived, Cang Lin and Lin Lang were already sitting on one side of the table.

Si Nian looked at Lin Lang's reluctance and didn't say much, and naturally sat on the side with Ruohua.

"Didn't Mr. Lin's previous letter say that he will arrive tomorrow?"

"I didn't rest last night, so I came here overnight." Cang Lin rushed all the way, firstly because he heard that Lin Lang would be there today, and secondly because the matter found out yesterday should be resolved as soon as possible.

There was news in the palace that his father was in critical condition, although he didn't want that position, but if the sixth younger brother took the position, I'm afraid there would be more troubles in the future.In contrast, it is the best for the fourth younger brother to follow the Datong.

That's why Cang Lin agreed to cooperate with Chu Qiguang this time. From a long-term perspective, he felt that if Chu Ping's future position was inherited by that prince, it would be much better for Yu Nanzhi.With Chu Qiguang's temperament, at least in the short term, there is no need to worry about the two countries fighting each other.

"But what was found?"

"Xiao Liu's subordinates have been in close contact with Chu Ping's people recently. Before that, it was not found out who sent the people from Chu Ping's side, until the Qilin seal was found in the intercepted letter the night before."

"Kirin?" Ruohua whispered.

"It really is King Mao." Si Nian said coldly.

"What does Prince Mao want to do?" Ruohua asked.

"At present, we only know that the sixth prince Nanzhi is trying to win over his strength. As for the agreement between King Mao and him, it is not clear." Si Nian explained.

"They should come to Pingshun City in the next two days, and I have sent my men to keep an eye on their whereabouts." Cang Lin handed a note to Si Nian, "I have found these, and I hope your prince can keep his promise. "

Si Nian glanced at the note, and then put it in the bamboo table: "This is natural."

Lin Lang was actually a little uncomfortable sitting on the sidelines. He didn't like to get involved in these things, so in the past, he always avoided the fight between the crown prince and King Mao in the court, and didn't care about it. participate.

Being involved in it this time, it sounds a bit forced and helpless.Especially the fact that the culprit still acted as a matter of course made him feel even more annoyed.

If it wasn't for the fact that Ruohua and Yan Wang were also involved in it, they would have come here by themselves, at most it would be a formality and they would go back.He didn't want to get involved in these things at all.The less you know, the more secure your life will be.

Cang Lin and Si Nian are people of few words outside, Ruohua and Cang Lin have not had much contact with each other, and the other party is also the eldest son of an emperor, so it is not easy to talk about it, but in Lin Lang's eyes, how can Si Nian and Ruohua sit side by side? See how awkward it is.

So when the food was served, several people ate without saying a word.

The appetizer was served, but Ruohua didn't like it very much.The taste of Nanzhu cuisine is relatively light. Although a few small dishes are exquisitely prepared, they really have no taste in the mouth.

Ruohua always prefers strong or sweet food, although Si Nian also took care not to let him eat too greasy food, but most of the time he will still prepare some dishes he likes.

At this time, Ruohua misses Prince Yan's Mansion a little bit, at least the dishes made by Amin really suit his taste.

Si Nian saw that Ruohua had only picked up a few chopsticks, and thought that this dish was not to his liking, so he leaned slightly close to Ruohua's ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"If you don't like food, how about I make two dishes for you later?"

Ruohua already felt his ears itching, but Si Nian's words reminded him of the night they drank together, and he couldn't help but blush.But since Cang Lin and Lin Lang were both there, he subconsciously lowered his head as if to cover up, and stuffed all the vegetables in the bowl into his mouth.

Although Cang Lin couldn't quite hear what Qing Si Nian said, he only saw Si Nian pressing against Ruo Hua's ear, and then the boy's face turned red.He looked at Lin Lang who was sitting next to him, thought for a while, then leaned over and blew in Lin Lang's ear.

Lin Lang was originally concentrating on eating, but suddenly he was taken aback by such a trick, and he blurted out: "What are you doing..."

Then he found that Chu Sinian and Ruohua were also looking at him with strange expressions, so he swallowed the last two words, and then whispered:

"Sorry." Continue eating.

Ruohua just bowed his head and didn't see Cang Lin's movements, so he still felt a little baffled.Turning his head to look at Si Nian, he found that Si Nian had no expression, so he didn't think about it any more.

And Si Nian glanced at Cang Lin, and Cang Lin gave him an expressionless look in return.

After dinner, Ruohua and Sinian went back to the room together, while Lin Lang was dragged into the room by Cang Lin.

"What did you do just now?" Lin Lang felt a little ashamed when he thought of himself shouting out loud.

"Nothing." Cang Lin sat on the chair and took a sip of tea.

"There is no shortage of people around you, why do you have to tease me like this." Lin Lang didn't completely understand Cang Lin's thoughts. A prince sent him letters every day to talk about trivial matters, and this time he insisted on living with him. room.

Although Lin Lang has a straightforward personality, he is not as ignorant of sex and people's hearts as Ruo Hua.Counting down, the Lin family has been officials for four generations. Although they have not made much achievements and achievements in the court, it is also very rare to occupy a place in the court all the time.

Although Lin Lang has only been in the court for a few years, and his personality is more upright, although he is not as stable as Lin's father, he is not a person who does not understand the world at all.

In addition, Lin Lang himself is also somewhat good at Long Yang, so Cang Lin's actions are only because Cang Lin is the prince, and the two will not meet each other on weekdays.If it's just a letter, I'll accept it too.

It's not that he hates Cang Lin, in all fairness, even if Cang Lin is not the prince, he is still exceptional.Lin Lang has also read most of those letters, except for those that are really funny, Cang Lin's self-cultivation and hobbies can be talked about with him.

But it is also because Cang Lin is the prince, and the eldest son of the emperor of Nanzhi Kingdom.Lin Langcai didn't even want to make friends with him.

Lin Lang didn't want to be involved in the party struggle in the court, let alone the matter between the two countries.As far as he is concerned, in his official career, he only wants to fight rice wine, and it is enough to have healthy parents at home.

"I never wanted to tease you." Cang Lin said.

"I'm not a fool," Lin Lang said bluntly, "You, a prince, would not be so leisurely dealing with a small censor of a neighboring country like me every day."

Cang Lin didn't speak, but sat aside and listened to Lin Lang's continuation.

"If you are an ordinary son and young master, it is not impossible to get along with you. But I, Lin Lang, do not want to be trapped in the quagmire of power struggle. Although I have no ambitions, I also have private wishes. I just want a safe and stable life at home. You are Nan Zhi Prince, this time it is only a few letters and the prince has an excuse to let me go this time, if it is anything else, am I going to throw the Lin family's family fortune and stable life for several generations in this party struggle."

After Lin Lang finished speaking, there was a long silence between the two.

After a long time, Cang Lin said, "What if I'm not the prince?"

Lin Lang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Nan Zhi is going to destroy the country? It shouldn't be."

Cang Lin: "..." Sometimes this person's personality seems to be quite irritating.

"I mean, if I'm not Nan Zhi's eldest prince, will you accept me?" Cang Lin asked.

This is simply impossible, Cang Lin was born as a prince, so he will have to bear this status for the rest of his life.Who would abandon this imperial family ancestral hall and disregard the family and country of the world, just to have friendship with ordinary people.

It's not that Lin Lang underestimates himself, it's just that Cang Lin may have thought about it on a whim, but when making a real decision, a man should put his family business first, which is only right and proper.

So Lin Lang didn't think about it and said with a bit of a joke:

"If one day you cease to be the prince and live on the streets, my Lin family will reserve a place for you."

"It's true."

"really."

Cang Lin didn't say any more, and stood up.

Lin Lang originally thought that he was going out, so he walked a few steps to open the door for him.Unexpectedly, Cang Lin turned around and sat on the bed directly.

Lin Lang: "Why do you still live here?" Didn't you just say everything clearly!

"The inn is really full," Cang Lin said calmly, "Could it be that I'm going to live with King Yan and Lord Xiang?"

As he said that, Cang Lin really wanted to get up.

Lin Lang quickly pushed him back and asked him to go to that room... It was scary to think about it.

Cang Lin looked at the hand on his shoulder, then looked at Lin Lang and said:

"You agree to my living here?"

"You sleep on your back." There is only one bed in the room. Although it is not very spacious, it is okay for two men to sleep. "I will sleep outside."

Cang Lin didn't say anything, took off his shoes and turned his back against the wall, as if planning to sleep like this.

Lin Lang thought that Cang Lin was really tired after traveling all night, so he let him go.I went to the outer hall to wash up briefly, and took another quilt.He got on the bed softly, leaned against the edge of the bed, and slept with his clothes closed.

The breathing of both of them became more and more steady. After a long time, Cang Lin, who was stuck to the inner side, gently stood up, watching Lin Lang who was sleeping outside with almost half of his body falling off, and frowned slightly.

He stepped over Lin Lang, picked him up, and put him inside.Lin Lang in his sleep only felt as if he was being lifted up, and subconsciously hugged that arm.

Cang Lin froze for a moment, then perched on the back of Lin Lang's hand holding his arm, and said softly:

"Just wait for me, I will keep my promise."

Then he pulled out his arms and slept on the outside.

A night without dreams.
