Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi had already studied the information that Zhao Feng had compiled for him. He didn’t know the relationship between Qi Zhuiyun and Qi Tianjun like the back of his hand, but he had at least a basic understanding of it.

Qi Zhuiyun was the third younger brother of the current King Qi, and he was a blood brother from the same mother. In addition, he was quite outstanding in both strength and ability. He was publicly acknowledged as one of the top-notch experts of the royal family in the inner court.

With such a background, he was the second most important person in the Qi King’s mansion.

But the reality was that Qi Tianjun, who was not related to King Qi by blood, was even more trusted by King Qi himself.

With the support of the Lu family in Liaojing Prefecture, their influence in the Qi King’s manor had already infiltrated every aspect. Even Qi Zhuiyun was overshadowed by them.

With Qi Zhuiyun’s pride, he naturally would not watch as the other party expanded. Both sides would inevitably fight openly and covertly.

However, up until now, both sides had maintained a superficial harmony and had not fallen out in public. It could be considered that they had taken the overall situation into consideration.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that this kind of harmony was very fragile and could collapse at any time.

The reason why Qi Zhuiyun had moved out of King Qi’s manor and set up his own Qi Residence was because of Qi Tianjun’s slanderous words. The current King Qi had become suspicious of him and had no choice but to avoid suspicion.

Just this point alone proved that he and Qi Tian-kun were like fire and water. In the future, there would definitely be a thorough reckoning.

If he was not going to settle the score with Qi Tian-kun, Qi Tian-kun was going to settle the score with him, Qi Zhuiyun.

There was no third outcome.

After a long silence, Qi Zhuiyun suddenly said,” You keep calling me senior. I don’t like it. In the future, just call me Third Uncle like Zhao Feng.”

“Okay, senior.” Lin Yi smiled.

“..”

Qi Zhuiyun choked for a moment. Then, he retracted his smile and said seriously,”What do you have in mind? Tell me.”

“I’m not too familiar with the situation on Saita-kun’s side, but House Lu is trying to win Young Master Qi over. This is our chance.” Lin Yi smiled back.

Young Master Qi, whose surname was Qi Ming, was King Qi’s most favored son. He was also the publicly acknowledged heir apparent of King Qi’s estate.

With Qi Tianjun’s current power, if he could win over Young Master Qi through the hands of the Lu Family of Liaojing Prefecture, then his position in King Qi’s Mansion would be as high as the sun in the sky in the future. No one would be able to compete with him.

Qi Zhuiyun was well aware of this.

“There’s a death match today, organized by Lu Chunfeng for Mister Qi. I’m going to join in the fun.”

Qi Zhuiyun looked up with interest. Young people are indeed full of spirit and fighting spirit.”

There were no secrets within the top circle.

The confrontation between Lin Yi and Lu Chunfeng at the Han residence had already been heard by everyone, and there were many people who were talking about it.

Lin Yi shrugged.” There’s no choice. We’re already in a fight. Even if I want to let him go, he’s not going to let me go.”

Qi Zhuiyun looked at him deeply.

Lin Yi nodded,”I wonder if uncle has a say in the internal matters of the prison?”.

“Heh, you need me for this, right? You’re really not polite.”

Qi Zhuiyun shook his head and laughed.” The imperial prison system is indeed within the sphere of influence of the Qi Residence. However, Qi Tian-kun is in charge of it now. If I speak up, I’m afraid it will only have the opposite effect.”

“Why?” Qi Zhuiyun asked curiously after a pause. The matter you’re doing for the emperor is stuck in the heavenly prison?”

“There really aren’t any secrets in this world.” Lin Yi was speechless.

The matter that the emperor had instructed him to do was, in theory, a top secret. However, seeing Qi Zhuiyun’s reaction, this was not considered news in the upper-class circles.

” That’s not true. The various kings still have some secrets. It’s just that the emperor doesn’t.”

Qi Zhuiyun sneered and took a sip of tea. He smiled and said,” It’s not easy for me to talk about the imperial prison. You can try to get Young Master Qi to talk. He has been there for a long time and has some influence.”

“Is Young Master Qi such an easy person to talk to?” Lin Yi laughed. Why did I hear that this person is grumpy and not the kind of person?”

Qi Zhuiyun leaned back in his chair.” There are times when a vicious tiger is obedient. The key is how you interact with him.”

“Understood.” Lin Yi nodded.

In his plan, Young Master Qi was an important figure that could not be bypassed. Now that he happened to bump into the matter of the imperial prison, to a certain extent, it could be considered as saving him trouble.

Lin Yi made some preparations after leaving the Qi Mansion. The sky was getting dark, and Zhao Feng was already waiting at the door on her bike.

A loud rumble echoed along the way.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a large palace 30 miles away from Urban area.

Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the majestic silhouette of the palace under the night sky. The pillars rose into the sky. Lin Yi’s first reaction wasn’t the palace at all, but the ancient Roman arena.

The palace was called Night Center Palace.

” A death match. Lu Chunfeng really chose a good place.”

The two got out of the car, but they were stopped at the door.

There was a group of experts in front of him, and the person in the lead was a powerful royal. Half of his face was covered in tattoos, and under the night sky, the weather was unpredictable, making him look a little scary.

He was called Yang Bao, and he did not belong to any of the feudal lords. He was an extremely rare expert of the royal power among the commoners.

Even so, it was not as if there was no organization behind it.

Night Palace was his organization.

What Night Palace represented was not just the huge palace in front of him, but a huge interest group.

Similar giant palaces were almost everywhere in the Inner Court. The existence of each palace meant that dignitaries gathered. Although these dignitaries might not listen to it, even the influence that was imperceptibly formed was enough to make anyone tremble.

This was an organization that could not be underestimated. Even if it claimed to be neutral, it was still so.

Just like now, it was able to let a powerful king lead the team to guard the door. Just this point alone was enough to make the vast majority of forces shrink back.

This Night Palace was unfathomable.

Yang Bao glanced at Lin Yi before turning to Zhao Feng and forcing a smile.

To be able to be the head of security in such a place, the first requirement was not to be strong, but to have good eyesight. At the very least, a top-notch second-generation heir like Zhao Feng had to be able to recognize her immediately.

Otherwise, they would easily provoke those powerful people. No matter how strong the Night Palace’s foundation was, it would be ruined sooner or later.
