Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11178: Chapter 11177: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

” What?” King Han was horrified.” If things really get to that point, the problem won’t just be our Han Imperial Residence alone. The entire Inner Royal Court will be in big trouble.”

After a long time, Minister Han said in a low voice,”I hope not.”

..

In the courtyard specially prepared for the hundred children, the maids collectively raised their heads in anticipation.

Although the selection of the rules had ended, and the Seedlings had reached an agreement with the various dukes, and basically would not return here, at least in name, the right to use these courtyards still belonged to the Seedlings until the great calamity of the rules was officially settled.

For the handmaidens who were assigned here, they still had a chance to climb up the high branches of the Hundred Seeds.

Otherwise, once he missed it, he would have to return to the palace to wait for punishment. At that time, there would be no day for him to stand out.

” It seems like Young Master Lin won’t be coming back.”

The maids sighed.

Logically speaking, Lin Yi was the perfect choice for low-level maids like them, be it in terms of status, strength, or appearance.

They wanted to climb onto Lin Yi’s bed if they had the chance.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi didn’t give him the chance.

Especially since Lin Yi hadn’t come back after the selection of the rules. It seemed like he had completely forgotten about this place.

Although the maidservants were feeling sorry for themselves, they did not find it strange.

To them, this was a chance to change their lives, but to Lin Yi and the rest, it was just a place to rest. There was nothing special about it.

At this moment, all the maids in the courtyard had chosen to lie flat.

Only Cheng Shuang ‘er was still meticulously cleaning the courtyard.

“Sister Shuang ‘er, you should rest too. He’s not coming back. There’s no need for us to waste our efforts.”

One of the maids called out.

“Anyway, I have nothing to do. It’s good to exercise a little.” Cheng Shuang ‘er smiled.

The maidservants looked at each other, pouting and criticizing each other in private. I heard that she secretly went to find Young Master Lin but was chased out by him. Now, she’s pretending to be calm. Who would believe that?”

His voice was not soft, but it did not cause any ripples when it reached Cheng Shuang ‘er’s ears.

Among everyone, she was indeed the one who had the biggest bet.

The information she gave Lin Yi could be said to be everything. Lin Yi didn’t respond for a long time, which was equivalent to giving her a death sentence for the future.

However, Cheng Shuang ‘er did not have the slightest psychological fluctuation.

Not only on the surface, but also in his heart.

She had already done what she needed to do. If it turned out that she had lost the bet, she would admit it.

She didn’t even have any resentment towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi accepted her rules, but according to common sense, he had to give something back.

Besides, Lin Yi didn’t need to pay anything extra to get her out of here. He could even get a pretty woman for free. He shouldn’t just leave her there.

However, from Cheng Shuang ‘er’s perspective, it was her business to give the information to Lin Yi. Whether Lin Yi was willing to respond or not was his business.

She could not interfere, and she had no reason to.

The only thing she could do now was to do what she was supposed to do and wait for the final result.

It was just that her behavior made her seem even more pretentious in the eyes of the women, and she was even more despised by them.

Cheng Shuang ‘er remained indifferent.

At this moment, the sky suddenly turned bright red. At the same time, a sharp alarm rang out, echoing throughout the entire capital of the Inner Court.

Everyone was shocked and at a loss.

Cheng Shuang ‘er suddenly raised her head. A glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes as she muttered,” The great calamity of laws has descended!”

At this moment, all the officials were gathered in the court. Lin Yi and the rest of the hundred seedlings were summoned as well.

Everyone’s faces were filled with excitement and nervousness.

“Activate the stargazing array,” the emperor said as everyone watched.

Amidst the shouts of acknowledgement, the stars suddenly shifted above everyone’s heads, turning into an extremely dazzling starry sky.

Everyone was surrounded by the stars in the sky. The stars of all sizes around them seemed to be within reach.

Lin Yi’s eyelids twitched.

Even if no one explained, he could already tell that each star in front of him represented a man-made rule, and they all contained a rich rule aura.

It seemed that he had greatly underestimated the number of man-made rules in the Inner Court!

However, after this law calamity, the stars in the sky would probably no longer exist. In the end, only a few would be left.

Before Lin Yi could react, some of the stars started to explode.

At first, it was only the smallest stars.

Even if they exploded in pieces, all the officials in the court were indifferent.

After all, this was expected.

But soon, the huge stars began to set off fireworks, and everyone was no longer so calm.

Even if this was within expectations, the laws represented by these stars were basically backed by the various dukes present.

Anyone who saw their core rules being set off with fireworks, even if they knew the outcome beforehand, would definitely not be in a good mood.

Moreover, before this, they more or less still had some luck.

Now that their luck had been extinguished, all the dukes had bitter expressions on their faces.

However, the top dukes led by the seven kings were still sitting on the fishing platform.

Even if all the stars in the sky exploded, it would not hurt their core assets.

Until now, the hundred stars that were selected for the Hundred Seedlings Plan were all safe and sound. With the full protection of the Hundred Seedlings Plan, it was indeed different.

The Starburst continued.

Everyone’s hearts gradually calmed down.

“The Hundred Seedlings Plan has succeeded!”

As long as the hundred stars did not explode, it meant that the foundation of the Inner Court was still there. It meant that the core interests of the great dukes led by the seven kings were not damaged.

Han Wang rejoiced and looked at Lin Yi with delight.

No matter what, Lin Yi had slandered his three core rules. Even if it was safer to bet on both sides, he didn’t object to it when he gave Lin Yi the information about the Chu royal family. But from the bottom of his heart, he still wanted Lin Yi to be in trouble!

Lord Chu had a bigger reaction.

With Chu Zhongyuan’s persuasion, King Chu had been forced to shift his attention away from Lin Yi for the past few days, but now, it was time for him to reap the rewards.

“Lin Yi, come out now. It’s your turn to fulfill the bet.”

Chu Wang laughed smugly as he pointed at Lin Yi.

Everyone’s attention shifted to Lin Yi as well, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.

Some of them had just lost their core rules, and they couldn’t wait to see the others suffer as well. Some of them just didn’t like Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi was a newcomer, and his actions were a little too crazy in their eyes.
