Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11246

Seeing the cracks in the Moral Monument getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Mang's expression became even crazier.

 “I am a moral model! I am a perfect moral person! You can’t do this to me!”

Xiao Mang locked himself in a secret room, his eyes were bloodshot and red: "It's not me who's wrong, it's you, all of you!"

Immediately, he bit the tip of his tongue with a look of madness and dripped blood on the crack.

 The trend of widening rifts came to an abrupt end.

 An invisible force, starting from the Moral Monument, began to penetrate and spread in all directions.

Soon, this power enveloped Yingjing Mansion, and then quickly spread to the entire Inner Court.

 A bizarre scene occurred.

The vast number of people who were discussing gossip and scandals one second were all silent the next, as if they were controlled and brainwashed by this invisible force, and everyone consciously avoided talking about it.

 As if in an instant, everyone collectively lost interest in this national scandal.

Even Lin Yi, who was already well-informed, couldn't help but feel weird after realizing this.

“Xiao Mang actually has such a powerful method?”

 He had to admit that he might have underestimated this tutor before.

  There is absolutely no one who can climb to such a high position as the Three Dukes in the Inner Court.

 Even a seemingly decent moral model like Xiao Mang has something far more terrifying than most people imagine.

 Emperor Zhou seemed quite excited about this.

“Forcibly activating the Moral Monument to control people’s hearts, it seems that my teacher has been forced to do nothing.”

Seeing Lin Yi's confused look, Zhou Tianzi explained patiently: "The Moral Monument is the foundation of his strength. Although it has great effects, it is not used as a last resort. With his temperament, he will never use it easily. After all, it is slightly uncomfortable." If he is careful, it will come back to him."

Lin Yi digested the information, frowned slightly and said: "If public opinion is suppressed this time, it will be difficult to have the same opportunity in the future."

The biggest key this time is to catch the opponent off guard.

 Once Xiao Mang recovers, he will definitely be more vigilant next time and not give any opportunity to take advantage of him.

 At that time, there will be no next time.

 Zhou Tianzi said seriously: "That's true, so I decided to close the net. Lin Aiqing, the time has come to use you."

Lin Yi was stunned: "Me?"

Although he is the head of the Security Review Department, after all, his level and seniority are here. No matter what the reason, at least in terms of official procedures, it is difficult to attack Xiao Mang, a third-gong-level tutor.

"Don't worry, as long as you bring me the holy edict, you will be able to make a name for yourself."

Emperor Zhou said in an excited tone, quite expectantly: "You are going this time to get back something that belongs to the emperor for me."

 “The virtues of the world have always been attributed to the Son of Heaven.”

“This tutor has been stealing the Moral Monument for so many years, and now he has counterattacked. It’s time to return the property to its original owner.”

Lin Yi was suddenly enlightened. He glanced at the other party and had a better understanding of this puppet emperor.

Now it seems that the other party's attack on Xiao Mang and Wu Hou Wu Wudi's incident are just a cover, and the moral monument is the real focus.

 Actually, if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising.

The most important thing for Emperor Zhou to secure his position is his status as emperor. If he can take the Moral Monument under his command and replace Xiao Mang as the moral model of the inner court, the emperor's status will naturally become more stable.

 At that time, even the Qin Palace, which has an absolute advantage in overall strength, will have to think carefully if it wants to move him.

The calculations of the puppet emperor in front of him are far deeper and more ambitious than what appears on the surface. And Lin Yi has become a chess piece in his hands.

Now that Xiao Mang is in a hurry, you can imagine how difficult it is to **** the Moral Monument from his hands.

Not to mention the covetous forces, Xiao Mang himself is definitely not easy to deal with. Lin Yi alone has a low chance of winning.

 Zhou Tianzi saw Lin Yi's concerns and immediately encouraged him: "If this happens, I will make you a marquis!"

　　　…”

Lin Yi could tell that now that the opponent really had no one available, he could only hold on to his own sheep and try to pluck the wool.

 Emperor Zhou was also embarrassed.

If he had other options, he wouldn't have to draw such an unrealistic pie for Lin Yi.

 Being granted the title of Marquis in the Inner Court is an extremely difficult matter. Without extraordinary merit or deep enough qualifications, it is impossible to be granted the title of Marquis.

Based on his previous performance in the Hundred Sons Struggle, Lin Yi can barely get involved in the former, but when it comes to the latter, it’s a no-brainer.

Especially at this critical juncture, how many interests of powerful people will be affected once he becomes a prince?

If the Emperor of Zhou could easily deal with these things, he would not be called a puppet emperor.

His big cake is really not sincere in his paintings.

 But no matter what, having bread is better than having no bread.

Even without this cake, Lin Yi would still take action given Lin Yi's current situation. Since Xiao Mang has set his sights on the artificial rules in his name, especially if he attacks Dongfang Yan, it means that the two sides have become unrelenting enemies.

If you can't kill him with a stick this time, it will be a big problem in the future.

Lin Yi immediately responded: "I am willing to die for Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhou was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, I will arrange a team of guards to assist you, Wang Feng!"

"exist!"

A big man in golden armor strode in. While saluting the emperor, he glanced at Lin Yi out of the corner of his eye, with a hint of scrutiny.

Lin Yi knew this person.

The direct descendants single-handedly promoted by Wu Hou Wu Wudi are now the deputy commanders of the Imperial Guards. They are the only heavyweights left by Emperor Zhou in the Imperial Guard system.

Emperor Zhou ordered: "Lin Aiqing is fully responsible for this operation, and you will lead the team to assist. There must be no violation."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ient.

Although Wang Feng showed some distrust, he must implement the decision of Emperor Zhou unconditionally.

Zhou Tianzi looked at Lin Yi with an earnest expression: "Without any further delay, you can set off now. I am here waiting for your good news."

Lin Yi and Wang Feng immediately resigned.

 Out of the palace gate, a group of master guards were already waiting.

Wang Feng had no expression on his face and said in a stiff tone: "Master Lin, please give me some instructions."

 Lin Yi was not surprised by his attitude.

The opponent was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. After Wu Wudi's accident, he naturally thought that he could take over Wu Wudi's position and become the hardest card in Emperor Zhou's hand.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhou didn't look at him at all, but instead chose to bet on Lin Yi.

 Anyone in Wang Feng's position would be more or less dissatisfied.

 Who are you, Lin Yi?

You have no basic qualifications at all, and your strength cannot be said to be outstanding at all. How can you step on my head?
