Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 943: The Only One in the World

Lin Feng followed Zhu Qisheng along the narrow alley, turned a few corners, and finally stopped in front of a house.

There were not many guards in the entire courtyard, but more eunuchs and palace maids busy coming and going.

Pei Qiyin was left in the front yard because he was carrying a weapon and was not allowed to follow into the inner yard.

The scent of herbs could be smelled from a distance. When Lin Feng stepped into the house, the smell of herbs became even stronger, almost suffocating him.

The whole room was airtight, stuffy and depressing. Even Lin Feng, who had just entered the room, felt dizzy and breathless.

This is to make Zhao Zhen leave as soon as possible.

Lin Feng sighed in his heart, what kind of imperial physician is he to treat a patient like this?

Zhao Zhen was lying on a large carved bed in the inner room, his body almost buried under the quilt.

There was an embroidered cushion in front of the bed, obviously for Lin Feng to sit on.

Others all knelt in front of the bed to serve, but Lin Feng was the only one who could not be treated like that.

Crown Prince Zhao Cun stood at the head of the bed with his head bowed, and a concubine and another princess in the palace, Zhao Yi, stood at the foot of the bed.

After seeing Lin Feng again, Princess Zhao Yi still held a grudge against this man who did not like her.

Zhao Cun remained gentle, respectful and polite.

Zhu Qisheng quickly walked to the head of the bed, leaned close to Zhao Zhen's ear, and played softly.

"Your Majesty, Duke Jingguo Lin Feng is here to see you."

Lin Feng sat sideways on the embroidered cushion and frowned at Zhao Zhen, whose face was sallow and looked like he was terminally ill and on his deathbed.

Zhu Qisheng and Zhao Cun lifted Zhao Zhen's body up and placed a quilt behind his back so that he could see Lin Feng.

Zhao Zhen half opened his eyes, and it took a long time for his cloudy pupils to adjust the focus to Lin Feng's face.

"Lin Feng, I'm so ashamed...for not listening to you back then."

Lin Feng smiled warmly and said nothing.

"Lin Feng, do you resent... me?"

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, a hint of pity in his eyes.

Zhao Zhen raised a withered and skinny hand trembling in the air.

Lin Feng really didn't want to shake this hand, but there were many people watching, after all, he was still the emperor of the clan in name.

Zhao Zhen's hands were dry and cold, without any sign of life.

"Lin Feng, I... appoint you... as the Regent of the Grand Clan, assisting the Crown Prince... in inheriting the throne..."

As if he was afraid that Lin Feng would refuse, Zhao Zhen said this and without waiting for Lin Feng to speak, his whole body went limp, he exhaled, and closed his eyes.

Everyone in the room immediately knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Lin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the hand of the unlucky emperor Zhao Zhen, stood up and left the room.

The howling made him feel uneasy, so he decided to stay away and feel more comfortable.

When he went out, he found that the eunuchs and palace maids outside were all kneeling in the courtyard. Walking further out, he saw ministers in the court whom he knew before, also kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.

Looking around, Lin Feng was the only one walking in the huge courtyard.

No matter which alley or lane you go into, there are people kneeling and crying.

In his haste, Lin Feng actually lost his way.

This house is very big and has many twists and turns. Without someone to guide you, it is easy to lose your way back.

He couldn't even ask for information because everyone was busy crying and no one paid any attention to him.

When he walked to an aisle, a hand suddenly stretched out from the door on the side and pulled Lin Feng into the darkness inside the house.

Lin Feng was about to fight back when a soft body snuggled into his arms. A faint fragrance came to his nose, and the warmth hit his ears.

"Your Highness, I am here to throw myself into your arms..."

As he spoke, a soft and sticky thing was placed to Lin Feng's lips.

Lin Feng felt a surge of heat in his body and his reaction was very strong.

After a while of lingering, Lin Feng circulated the internal energy in his body, suppressing the violent heat flow, and forcefully pushed away the already soft body in his arms.

"Princess, the Emperor has passed away, and you are acting like this. It's inappropriate."

Zhao Tianyu's body hung limply on Lin Feng's arm, her pretty face hidden in the darkness, but one could sense her bursting passion.

"My Lord, as long as you agree to assist the Crown Prince, everything in the Zhao family will be yours."

Lin Feng shook his head: "But I haven't agreed yet."

"If you don't agree, it means you want to be the emperor yourself. Then not only the Zhao family, but everything in the world will become yours, including me."

"Hey, Zhao Tianyu, why do you always think you're right?"

"It's obvious. Can't you even throw it in or hug it?"

Lin Feng helped her stand steadily.

"Could it be that your Zhao family has nothing else to show for itself except you, Zhao Tianyu?"

"Your Majesty, you have a bright vision. My Zhao Tianyu is the best thing in the Zhao family."

Lin Feng waved his hands: "Stop it, you are nothing."

"I'm really a worthless person?"

"No, you are a thing."

"What is this palace?"

Lin Feng almost wanted to deal with this troublesome little devil. He really wanted to stuff his little mouth.

Zhao Tianyu smiled only when he realized that Lin Feng was about to go berserk.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and follow me."

Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the evil fire in his body slowly dissipated.

Zhao Tianyu took Lin Feng through the hall and into a quiet main room.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Eunuch Zhu has something to tell you."

Lin Feng frowned: "What else do you want to say?"

Zhao Tianyu smiled mischievously: "Of course I want to talk to you about what other good things the Zhao family has."

Lin Feng originally wanted to leave as he didn't want to get involved in the Zhao family's affairs.

But after hearing this, he hesitated for a moment and then slowly sat down.

As a royal family for many years, how could they not leave behind any good things?

Lin Feng is rich, but who would complain about having too much money?

There are many places where money is spent right now. Just talking about weapons research, it is quite expensive. There is also research on various projects and various engineering materials.

On a larger scale, there is also the issue of tax exemption for prefectures and counties.

How can the government exempt taxes? It still requires money.

Seeing that Lin Feng sat down obediently, Zhao Tianyu tapped his forehead with his finger with a sly look on his face.

"I know that no one doesn't like gold, silver and treasures. Your Majesty is not above worldly things either."

Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "I am a human being. I cannot escape the temptation of anything that humans like, be it money, power, or beauty..."

Zhao Tianyu walked around in front of Lin Feng.

"Isn't this palace beautiful?"

"You are beautiful to the extreme, but your identity is also extremely complicated."

Zhao Tianyu supported his chin with his hand and looked at Lin Feng with his big, bright black eyes.

"Lin Feng, think about it, if I didn't have this identity, would I just be a beautiful woman?"

Lin Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded in surprise.

"Don't say it, it's really like that. This beauty is not that beauty, but this beauty is unique in the world. Just this identity makes you an advantage."

Zhao Tianyu clapped his hands and said, "If Tianyu didn't have this identity, he could only earn a glance from the prince, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to earn a second glance."

"You are indeed smart. This wisdom has given you the upper hand."
