7778 Chapter 7776-ident.i.ty questioned

“MMH,” Lin Yi replied, but he was complaining inside. Grandpa w.a.n.g … People who didn’t know better would think that this was a Grandpa with the surname w.a.n.g, or old w.a.n.g next door?

To say that he was gentle and generous, that was not necessarily the case. To be able to become a country’s King, how could he be an easy person?

If he was really a good person, the position of the Commandery Prince of Hongshang Commandery might have already fallen into the hands of the other four families.

Not to mention other things, the Feng family must be eyeing covetously, ready to ascend to the throne of the Junw.a.n.g at any time.

“Big sister Wu, big sister Xue, take your men and find an inn to rest in. We’ll make arrangements when I return from the palace!”

Lin Yi didn’t object to meeting the king, so he made arrangements for Wu yucao and the others. They wouldn’t be able to go in.

Sima Yun stood up and interrupted Wu yucao,””What Inn? They had already returned home, so how could they let everyone stay outside? Bu Yan, take them back to the Prince’s residence first and see if the young Prince’s courtyard is tidied up. If they’re done, let them stay over there. ”

“Yes! Your Highness!”

Bu Yan bowed and accepted the order. He was one of Sima Yunqi’s trusted generals. Sending him to arrange for Wu yucao and the others was enough to show how much importance he attached to them!

“Many thanks, father!”

Lin Yi quickly thanked her. It was definitely safer for Wu yucao and the others to stay in the house than in the inn.

Although the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt was over, this matter was definitely not over. If Wu yucao and the others were targeted by someone with ill intentions, it would be bad!

There was nothing to worry about after entering the royal residence. In the imperial capital of Hongshang County, who would be stupid enough to attack the second Prince’s residence?

Wu yucao and the others naturally had no objections. After thanking Sima Yunqi, they followed bu Yan to the second Prince’s residence.

The rest of the men protected Sima Yun’s group as they followed the two palace guards back to the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, the road was smooth and un.o.bstructed. All the guards would bow respectfully wherever they pa.s.sed. It could be seen that Sima Yunqi’s status in the palace was high.

“The Qiu s.h.i.+ Palace is right in front. Father likes to meet the members of the royal family there. There’s no need to be too formal there. They’re all from the Sima clan, so there aren’t many rules.”

Sima Yun introduced the palace to Lin Yi the entire way, leaving all his guards at the entrance. The two guards that brought them in didn’t follow either.

The palace was also Sima Yunqi’s home, so he didn’t need anyone to lead the way. The family of three strolled over by themselves.

Lin Yi looked at the Qius.h.i.+ Hall not far away and scanned with his spirit sense. There were many people inside, all young men and women. Only an old man sat in the main seat.

This old man should be the Commandery Prince of Hongshang Commandery, Sima zhengxin!

According to what Sima Yun had said, those young men and women were all the younger generation of the Sima family?

Was he here to welcome Sima Zhong DA’s return?

With that thought in mind, Lin Yi, Sima Yunqi and his wife walked into the Qiu s.h.i.+ Hall.

“Your son pays his respects to father!”

As soon as Sima Yunqi and his wife stepped into Qius.h.i.+ Hall, they straightened their manners and slowly walked to the middle of the hall. They cupped their fists and bowed.

They’d already told Lin Yi on the way here that the members of the royal family didn’t need to kneel to the king-they only needed to bow normally.

Lin Yi was quite satisfied with this-he wouldn’t be able to accept it if he had to kneel down to someone every now and then.

He followed Sima Yun Qi and his wife to pay their respects, but before it ended, Sima Zheng Xin laughed and said that they were free.

“Zhong da, my son, you’ve finally been found! Come here and let Grandpa take a good look at you. It’s been so many years. How old were you back then? now, you’re already a good man full of heroic spirit!”

Sima zhengxin was very happy and signaled for Lin Yi to come forward.

Lin Yi didn’t mind.

He walked in front of Sima zhengxin and pulled Lin Yi to sit down beside him.

Lin Yi didn’t think much of the gesture-what was so weird about a grandfather pulling his long-lost grandson to sit down and chat?

However, the expressions of many of the young people below changed slightly.

Although the Qius.h.i.+ Palace was not a place where official government affairs were dealt with, Sima zhengxin was not sitting on the throne exclusive to the Junw.a.n.g.

However, the significance of this was still unusual. Sitting with the Junw.a.n.g … This kind of honor, how many people in the entire Hongshang Commandery had ever received it?

Even after the princes grew up, they probably wouldn’t have such an opportunity, right?

“Good! Good child! He really is a good man of our Sima clan!”

Sima zhengxin found Lin Yi very pleasing to the eye, and the more he looked at Lin Yi, the happier he was,””Son Zhong da, grandfather knows that you’re coming back today, so he specially called over all the young people of your generation in the capital to let you young people get to know each other.”

“Of course, those who are able to be here are the more outstanding young people of our Sima clan. There are also some mediocre people, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t know them!”

Lin Yi glanced at the so-called “outstanding young people”-there were around twenty of them, but he didn’t give them a specific number. They weren’t even worth mentioning in his eyes.

It was just like how no one would bother to count how many ants there were when they saw a group of ants by their feet while walking.

If he really counted, that would be called having nothing better to do!

“My King! It was a good thing that second Royal uncle found his long-lost son, but could it be that our Sima clan was a place that just anyone could sneak in? Shouldn’t we first properly confirm whether this person is really Prince brother Zhong da?”

A young man stood up and questioned Lin Yi’s ident.i.ty,”Royal brother Zhong da has been missing for twenty years. How can we just listen to one side of the story and be sure that his ident.i.ty isn’t fake? After all, he’s the most important member of our royal family. We can’t be too cautious!”

Sima zhengxin frowned slightly. He did find Lin Yi pleasing to the eye, he was his grandson, but his words made sense!

If he found a fake grandson, not only would he make a fool of himself, but he would also have to hand over Hongshang Commandery to the fake grandson in the future.

That’s right, the person that Sima Zheng Xin wanted to be the Crown Prince was the second Prince, Sima Yun Qi.

Previously, it was because Sima Yunqi had not been able to give birth to another son after losing Sima Zhong da, so he could not make up his mind.

Now that Sima Yun had found his long-lost son, Sima Zheng’s heart began to tilt in his favor.

“Your Majesty, I also feel that it’s necessary to first find out whether Prince brother Zhong DA’s ident.i.ty is real or not. Otherwise, if we become a joke in the future, it won’t just be our Sima clan that will be criticized. The entire Hongshang Commandery will lose face!”

Another person stood up to question Lin Yi’s ident.i.ty.

He didn’t have any expression on his face, but the way he looked at Lin Yi was full of mockery.

A country boy who crawled out of who knows where wanted to climb over their heads so easily and abuse his power?

How could it be so simple?
