With that, Xia Yuanji had taken Lin Feng's resources. His influence in the court was growing stronger. The situation in the court had become increasingly complex; since Lin Feng's departure, only Lin Quan and Lin Ye remained. Lin Ye was a sly one, always hiding away to study in seclusion. But Lin Zheng knew he was merely waiting to watch the tigers fight from the mountain. As for Lin Quan, he was only dabbling in minor schemes, too afraid to make any bold moves.
Although the Wu Emperor was aging and in poor health, he was still alive. As long as things remained this way, even the Crown Prince would find it hard to sit still.
After a long silence, the atmosphere grew unusually quiet, as if time itself had frozen. Wei An stared intently at Lin Zheng, his face showing a hint of confusion and helplessness. After a moment, he finally broke the suffocating silence and asked, "Your Highness, what should I do?"
Lin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Wei An. He replied slowly, "Hmph! That foul idea from three days ago was your doing. Now you need to come up with something new for me."
Wei An felt speechless upon hearing this, inwardly grumbling: What do you mean by foul idea? That suggestion was made after careful consideration! However, despite his dissatisfaction, he dared not show it in front of the noble prince.
After pondering for a moment, Wei An cautiously said, "Your Highness, I believe we could approach it this way..."
As Lin Zheng listened to Wei An's words, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Hmm, not bad! This plan is quite clever! Go ahead and implement it."
After receiving Lin Zheng's approval, Wei An quickly bowed respectfully and replied, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I shall take my leave now." With that, he turned and hurried away.
However, it wasn't just Lin Zheng who had such thoughts; even Lin Quan was aware of the situation. At that moment, Lin Quan was in his room when he heard news from outside. After some contemplation, he began discussing with those beside him.
Before long, the two reached an agreement to visit Lin Feng's residence to investigate further. Since their residences were not too far apart, Prince Lin Quan soon arrived at Lin Feng's front gate with a group of attendants.
Lin Quan first signaled for his subordinate to approach the door. The attendant quickly stepped forward and shouted at the tightly closed gate, "Open up! The Prince has arrived!"
"Yes! I will inform them right away!"
The guard at the entrance, upon hearing the commotion, did not dare to delay. He quickly acknowledged and then turned to rush into the estate to inform the steward.
Upon learning that the prince had come to visit, the steward hurriedly instructed a servant to notify Lin Feng, while he personally gathered people to go out and welcome Lin Quan.
At that moment, Lin Feng was taking a brief rest in his study. In his drowsy state, he vaguely heard someone calling out, but before he could fully awaken, fatigue washed over him again, and he unknowingly drifted back into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, in the main hall, the steward looked at Lin Quan and said, "Prince, would you like some more tea?"
Lin Quan was starting to lose his patience. After sitting there for an hour already, how could he still drink tea?
"No more tea. Where is Fourth Prince? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?"
"He is on his way."
Lin Quan's lips twitched slightly. He thought to himself: Do you even hear what you're saying? You've used that excuse six times already.
Lin Quan, who was already plump and had consumed so much tea, was now sweating profusely.
"Get him here quickly; if he doesn’t come soon, I’m leaving."
"Please wait a moment, Your Highness; I will go check."
Old Zhang also felt a bit anxious, thinking: I can’t keep making excuses like this.
