Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11245

　　　…”

Lin Yi’s heart suddenly sank.

Although what happened today was specially planned, Xiao Mang had taken a liking to Dongfang Yan and sent someone to brainwash her. This was indeed something he had never expected.

Based on Lin Yi's understanding of Dongfang Yan, this master is definitely not someone who can be easily manipulated. Even with Xiao Mang's level, if he wants to control her through brainwashing or other means, the possibility of succeeding is extremely slim.

 But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

If something happens to Dongfang Yan, even if Lin Yi can remedy the situation, he will still have to feel guilty for it.

　　They looked at each other for a moment, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Lin Yi was heartbroken and immediately stretched out his arms to hug him into his arms. No matter what, today's scene must be finished first.

The next second, Dongfang Yan, who had been acting like a good girl just now, suddenly said, "No! It's too awkward for you to hug me like this, I can't hold it in anymore!"

 A burst of hearty laughter followed.

Lin Yi suddenly had black lines on his face: "You are very realistic in your acting! Didn't I see that you have this talent before?"

Dongfang Yan puffed up his chest when he heard this and said, "Of course I'm lifelike. I'm sure it's fake. If you don't believe me, why don't you give it a try?"

　　　…”

Lin Yi retreated on the spot.

Stunned, Dongfang Yan suddenly turned over and jumped down, then threw his arms around his neck. Lin Yi was hugged in a princess hug, and then Yin Ling burst out of the sedan chair with a big smile.

 Everyone outside was dumbfounded.

They have seen the drama of snatching a bride, but who is snatching whom now?

 Today’s strange things can be said to be one after another.

The Emperor of Zhou came to congratulate him, which was very unusual in itself. The assassination of the Emperor was even more unusual. Even if he was not successful, it would still be an earth-shattering event.

 The result is now good, the assassination has turned into a bride-kidnapping.

Not only is it about robbing a bride, but it also changes from a man robbing a woman to a woman robbing a man. The style of the painting changes so quickly that it stands out in an outrageous way.

 The gossip souls in the audience immediately began to burn.

What Xiao Mang didn't expect even more was that the video of Dongfang Yan rushing out of the sedan chair with Lin Yi in his arms was immediately circulated.

 This was obviously planned in advance.

Such a dramatic scene, even if the Internet in the inner court has not been fully popularized, the speed of its spread is absolutely explosive.

“Block it down! Block it down quickly! No one is allowed to discuss today’s events, no one is allowed!”

Xiao Mang quickly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly arranged for the housekeeper to put out the fire.

He has been in charge of etiquette for many years as the Taifu, and the mouthpiece of the entire inner court is firmly in his hands. Especially after these years of intensive cultivation, the entire public opinion system can be said to follow the rules and prohibitions.

Not only the official media, but also various local media collectively remained silent after receiving the order immediately.

 As if nothing happened.

However, Xiao Mang still underestimated the vitality of today's episode.

Even if the mainstream media all pretend to be dead and avoid talking about it collectively, they still can't suppress the word of mouth.

The entire chain of transmission is a completely viral exponential outbreak. In a very short period of time, it has shown a tendency to spread to the entire Yingjing Prefecture, and this is just the beginning. There is no way, the matter is too big, the key is that it is too dramatic and too enjoyable to watch.

Especially after several rounds of word-of-mouth spread, the version of the whole thing continued to iterate and began to develop in an increasingly weird direction.

For example, Dongfang Yan became Xiao Mang's adopted daughter, and an unethical love emerged between father and daughter. The addition of Lin Yi turned it into a love triangle.

What’s even more outrageous is that in the latest version, even the Emperor Zhou has been added to the story, making it look like a tragedy of a young junior sister being kidnapped.

However, as outrageous as it is, it is undeniable that after various secondary creations by the general public, the spread of the whole thing has obviously reached a higher level.

Within less than half a day, the city was already in turmoil.

In this case, the mainstream media, let alone pretending to be dead collectively, even if they made a unified voice to clear the ground, were drowned in the national carnival every minute.

To be honest, even Lin Yi, who designed all of this himself, couldn't help but be surprised by such an exaggerated spreading speed.

 It can only be said that the power of the people is infinite.

With a look of amusement on his face, Emperor Zhou left under the protection of many imperial guards, taking Lin Yi and Dongfang Yan with him.

 Xiao Mang originally wanted to keep the two of them, but at this time he had too much time to take care of himself.

Lin Yi's identity is not something he can take away if he wants.

After all, he is one of the four principals of the Security Review Department. Unless it directly affects the safety of the inner court, even if he is the Third Duke, he has no right to detain him.

What's more, Lin Yi and Dongfang Yan are both the focus of the topic now. Detaining them means that the heat will only get higher and the situation will become even more uncontrollable.

 At the moment, he has more important things to do.

 The moral monument is cracked.

  Xiao Mang climbed from a humble scholar to the heights he is today. Of course, this was inseparable from the appreciation and promotion of the emperor of the previous generation, but the most important thing was that he had accumulated a moral monument for himself, which was the foundation of his career.

 Moral model, for him, is not just a simple honorary title, but also the foundation of everything for him!

As long as the moral monument remains, he will still have the confidence to fight with all parties to the end.

No matter how criticized by his political opponents, his moral monument has always been intact, so he has always been confident.

 But today, he was really panicked.

 The cracks in the moral monument mean that more and more people are beginning to question him due to the spread of this incident.

His perfect character as a moral role model began to show signs of collapse.

 This is something Xiao Mang will never tolerate!

“Press it down! You must suppress it for me! No matter what the cost!”

  Xiao Mang showed his hysterical side in front of people for the first time. No matter what, his character as a moral model cannot be defeated!

However, the cruel reality gave him a slap, a solid slap.

Even if the public opinion machine he controls is at full capacity, even 120% overloaded, it still cannot limit the expansion of gossip news.

　On the contrary, the harder the mainstream media suppresses the situation, the stronger the public opinion at the bottom will rebound.

ˆThe more people will believe in the bizarre versions iterations come out of.

More importantly, the image played by Xiao Mang gradually became more and more negative. It was no longer just a moral flaw, but he seemed to be running on a heinous road.

 As a result, the cracks in the moral monument have not been repaired, but have shown a trend of accelerating expansion.

At first, the crack was only an inconspicuous hair, but now it is half a finger wide!

 The people in Xiao Mang were all stupid.

He really couldn't understand why the situation was in such good shape two days ago, how could it have fallen to this point in the blink of an eye?

If you insist on saying so, what he did was just to have a house of concubines. As for that?
