I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 106 Since you want to mess with me, I won’t be polite!
Prince Jing'an's birthday banquet was very successful. The reason for this was definitely because of Li Chen's arrival.

Pang Jin, the Minister of Justice, is like a follower, always following Li Chen and protecting him from all kinds of trouble.

This scene made many court officials very envious.

Who among them doesn't want to be Li Chen's loyal dog? Unfortunately, this opportunity was seized by Pang Jin.

Pang Jin didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw the envious and jealous looks of his colleagues, he became proud.

He also gradually began to understand that whoever could get close to Li Chen, no matter what his official position was, would be someone that no one else would dare to offend.

Just like Captain Lin who has been very famous in the imperial city recently, even Pang Jin has heard of her name.

She has arrested quite a few dignitaries. I heard that even the second prince was arrested yesterday.

To a certain extent, Lin Yue'e held a low official position, and anyone present was more powerful than her, even much more powerful, but no one dared to mess with her.

This woman will be caught no matter who you are.

All this is because she has Li Chen's badge and is tacitly recognized as Li Chen's close minister.

But it is true, and this is not just blind guess by the court officials.

Pang Jin now has a close relationship with Li Chen, and is probably considered by everyone to be Li Chen's close minister.

After all, the Ministry of Justice, an important department, has always been under the control of the emperor, so it is normal for the Minister of Justice to be loyal to the emperor.

Li Chen didn’t actually think much about it, he just called out to someone familiar to block it.

During the birthday banquet, Li Chen also saw a rather unexpected person, who was the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess looked like a fairy walking out of a painting, with eyebrows like distant mountains covered with smoke, eyes as clear as autumn water, a high and delicate nose, and rosy lips.

Her skin was as white as mutton-fat jade, delicate and smooth, with a faint luster in the sunlight.

Especially her graceful figure, with exquisite curves, plump breasts and firm buttocks, outlining a perfect S-shaped curve.

When walking, it is like walking on clouds, and every step exudes endless charm.

It can also be said that the lifting of the legs and the landing point of each step are carefully designed and very particular.

The beauty of the Crown Princess is not only her stunning appearance, but also the feminine temperament that radiates from the inside out, which makes people unforgettable at first sight.

Li Chen wondered, how could she appear here?

It's impossible for Prince Jing'an, who is of this level, to invite her.

If the prince were still alive, it would be understandable.

But the prince has been dead for more than half a year, which is a bit puzzling.

Pang Jin followed Li Chen's gaze and was stunned. He didn't know how to explain it for a moment. Could it be?
Just at this moment, the Crown Princess happened to see Li Chen and walked over.

This just happened to make Li Chen feel strange. He always felt that this woman came here specifically to catch him.

If Li Chen remembered correctly, he seemed to have seen her at the Jiaofangsi last time. She probably didn't see Li Chen at that time, and Li Chen didn't know what she was doing there.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The Crown Princess bowed gracefully. The etiquette was very precise, and not a single movement was superfluous.

Pang Jin glanced at Li Chen, indicating whether he should avoid it.

Li Chen said that it was not necessary. There were so many people here. If you avoided them, even if there was no problem, it would become a problem.

"No need to be so polite. Are you here to attend Prince Jing'an's birthday banquet as well?" Li Chen asked casually.

It was the first time he spoke to the Crown Princess.

"Your Majesty, I was not invited this time, but I came here with a thick face."

"Oh? Then what are you doing here?"

"Actually, I have something I want to tell your majesty."

After saying that, she glanced at Pang Jin, meaning that she only wanted to tell Li Chen about this matter.

Li Chen said directly: "If you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to say it, go back."

Li Chen understood, but didn't care.

His sudden attitude did frighten the Crown Princess. Pang Jin didn't care. Anyway, today he was just going to screen and testify for His Majesty.

It seems that I was overthinking just now. How could His Majesty be having an affair with the Crown Princess?

Thinking of this, Pang Jin secretly slapped himself a few times.

"It is like this, Your Majesty. I have noticed something is wrong with the servants in the palace recently. First, there was an accidental death, and then there were strange noises at night, which made me uneasy recently. I would like to stay in the palace temporarily, and I hope Your Majesty will grant me that."

"Why don't you ask the Queen Mother about this matter? Why bother asking me?"

The Queen Mother has certain powers in the harem. If the Crown Princess is really in danger, it won't be a problem if she goes to the Queen Mother.

Li Chen felt that if I let her into the palace, then she could use this excuse to get close to me.

Li Chen was still quite afraid of this kind of initiative, especially since he had not yet completed the practice of the five volumes of "Emperor Dragon Bible", he dared not act recklessly.

"But the Queen Mother had a feud with my family, so she politely declined my offer. That's why I came to see Your Majesty." The Crown Princess' haggard appearance was truly pitiful.

Especially the desperate look, it didn't look like he was acting.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Li Chen was thinking, is this guy relying on me?
There must be a conspiracy.

So Li Chen looked at Pang Jin and said, "You have been in charge of the prince's case. Send some people to the prince's mansion to investigate. Maybe you can find out something."

Pang Jin said he understood and would never let the Crown Princess be in danger.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Li Chen, the Crown Princess thought that continuing to pester him might backfire, so she could only thank him and leave.

After she left, Li Chen wondered, "What on earth is she thinking about?"

Pang Jin, who was standing beside him, immediately replied, "I will definitely help Your Majesty investigate this matter thoroughly."

He cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time. He must understand what His Majesty means. It is his duty to share His Majesty's worries.

The only unexpected thing about this birthday banquet was the Crown Princess's appearance; everything else was normal.

After the birthday banquet, Li Chen returned to the palace.

When Li Chen heard Eunuch Cui say that Lin Yue'e had something to report, he let her in.

Eunuch Cui did not dare to neglect Lin Yue'e.

Even people in the palace knew about her fame.

In Li Chen's bedroom, Lin Yue'e, dressed in uniform, walked in and told Li Chen about her discovery today.

Then he added: "In order to ensure your majesty's safety, I suggest that your majesty cancel the Spring Festival, or just show up at the Spring Festival. There is no need to go to the Cangmang Mountains."

It can be seen that Lin Yue'e is indeed loyal.

After listening to her report, Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "In this case, why don't we go to the Cangmang Mountains in advance to make arrangements and catch all these people in one fell swoop?"

According to Li Chen's idea, he will take Lin Yue'e to Cangmang Mountains tomorrow. He knows a lot of things anyway, and he can give a surprise to those who are planning to attack him.

Since you want to mess with me, I won’t be polite!
This method is indeed good, but it is also dangerous.

However, Lin Yue'e thought, if this were the case, wouldn't she be able to go on a business trip with His Majesty?
As Li Chen's loyal subject, she was very excited to be able to work with Li Chen.

Lin Yue'e immediately kowtowed to express that she was willing to obey His Majesty's orders.

Not long after she left, the beautiful woman Ji Lianyu walked in, still because of Xu Zifeng's matter.

Li Chen was a little stunned when he saw her reluctant look.

Wasn’t it just resolved this morning? Why is it here again?

I think Xu Zifeng is just your excuse. You are really addicted, right?

At this time, Chu Ruoyan happened to walk in. After all, she was the only one in the harem, so she could take the initiative to ask Li Chen if she wanted to sleep with him.

But when she saw there were other women here, she said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it seems I came at the wrong time."

Li Chen smiled slightly, waved at her and said, “No, you came at the right time!”
