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

Chapter 109 Yes, Your Majesty must mean this!
In the residence of Prince Zhennan, a beautiful woman was feeding fish by the pond in the yard.

She looked a little dazed as she kept feeding the fish into the pond. Perhaps she fed too much, so some of the fish were already bloated but were still eating.

If the fish food had not been fed out, the fish here would probably have died of stuffiness.

Fish, as a species, have a characteristic that if they are not eaten to death, they will eat until they die.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ji Lianyu sighed sadly and went back to the house to rest.

Generally speaking, during this period of time, she should change into carefully prepared clothes and be on her way to the palace.

But Xu Zifeng had said earlier that he would be away for a few days, and there is no news of him being thrown into jail.

Then Ji Lianyu would have no suitable reason to serve Li Chen.

"Zifeng, it's too dangerous to be outside at this late hour. It's better for him to be safe in the prison."

If Xu Zifeng knew that his aunt hoped that he would be arrested for this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Ji Lianyu tossed and turned all night, as if something was missing and she couldn't fall asleep.

In addition to Xu Zifeng, there were many people leaving the imperial capital today.

At the Prince of Jing'an's Mansion, Princess Li Ling was carrying some delicious food to give to Chen Xuannan. After all, he was her nominal husband.

After three years of marriage, the two have never lived together and live in different places.

Li Ling came to Chen Xuannan's residence, opened the door and found that he was not there, and there was a note on the table.

Basically it means that he has something to do outside and will be back in time.

This wasn't the first time this had happened, and she was no longer surprised. She always felt that this guy was mysterious.

There was no choice but for Li Ling to go back and stay alone in her empty room.

The one who has the deepest understanding of the concept of staying alone in an empty room is the Crown Princess.

At this moment in the Prince's Mansion, many experts from the Ministry of Justice were lying in ambush outside the gate.

Li Chen spoke personally yesterday, and Pang Jin did not dare to neglect it.

What's more, he was also investigating and planning the prince's case.

With the experts from the Ministry of Justice nearby, the scoundrels around naturally didn't dare to make any moves.

It seems to be protecting secretly, but in fact it is deterring openly!

Inside the prince's boudoir, a woman with stunning beauty rested her chin on her hand, thinking about her life.

The Crown Princess's name is Yun Shang. Her family is powerful and spread all over the Tiance Dynasty. This is also the purpose of the Crown Prince marrying her.

The prince has always valued interests. He married so many wives just to get the support of the forces behind them.

After he ascends the throne, he can rely on these people, as well as the forces around him, to stabilize the situation.

Yunchang's father is named Yunxu, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army of the Tiance Dynasty.

In the Tiance Dynasty, he was a man with great power.

The Second Army was stationed in the south to defend against the Prince of Zhennan.

The prince's ideas and plans were good. As long as he could marry Yun Shang, Yun Xu, as his father-in-law, would naturally not let Prince Zhennan come up.

Yunchang has been famous since childhood, and she and the prince are well matched.

She had no objection to marrying the prince because her goal was to become the queen.

She came to the prince's mansion, worked hard for so many years, and supported the prince with all her heart. If she persisted for a few more years, she would become the queen. Who knew that the prince would suddenly die at this time.

This shattered Yun Shang's dream, and she suddenly went from being a high-ranking Crown Princess to a widow.

With the death of the crown prince, many concubines in the palace have returned, and there are very few left here. It’s not that these people are concerned about the crown prince’s feelings, but the crown prince is often out for social engagements, so how could they fall in love with him after a long time.

Those who stayed behind basically relied on the prince's remaining connections to help their families develop.

But Yun Shang was unwilling to do so. If she went back like this, all her efforts over the years would be in vain.

Now is not the time to be a chaste woman. The prince treats her indifferently. They are together for their own purposes.

No matter who is the emperor, Yunchang wants to be the queen.

This is the main reason why Yun Shang came into contact with the Second Prince and Li Chen.

But both of them were afraid that she was plotting something, so they both refused.

Yun Shang was not discouraged. She just didn't believe that with her beauty, no one would want her even if she was given for free?
If it really doesn't work, you can increase the stakes.

Now the Second Prince is about to take action against Her Majesty, and she wants to wait and see the outcome of this attack and not make another wrong bet.

However, Yun Shang still tends to think that Li Chen will win. After all, Li Chen is indeed handsome and strong, and he is also the legitimate emperor. Where can you find such a man?

It’s not that Li Xian is not excellent, it’s just that the people compared with him are too outstanding.

When Yun Chang was resting tonight, her mind was full of Li Chen's figure.

Especially the way Li Chen rejected her was really different!

Yun Shang considered several men, but never the third prince.

But the third prince liked her and even couldn't forget her.

The Third Prince’s confidants all knew that he carried a handkerchief on his body. This handkerchief was the one Yun Shang used to wipe his sweat, and he has kept it until now.

I still remember that year, after the Third Prince was crushed by the Second Prince in terms of cultivation talent, he resolutely joined the military camp and began to gain military merit.

When he first joined the army, he was in the Second Army Group. The Third Prince learned all his abilities from the commander-in-chief Yun Xu.

Then he would naturally have the opportunity to get in touch with Yun Shang, who has always been his white moonlight.

When the Third Prince was punished by Yun Xu for making a mistake, it was Yun Chang who wiped his sweat off his face, which was also the origin of the handkerchief.

Maybe Yunchang has forgotten, but he hasn't.

Who would have known that the prince would come and snatch away his beloved woman, forcing the emperor to grant him a marriage.

At that time, he was so angry that he wanted to kill the prince because he felt that the prince did it on purpose.

In fact, he guessed right. The prince did it on purpose. As long as he could marry Yun Shang, he could get the support of Yun Xu, the commander of the Second Army, and also cut off the arm of the Third Prince, thus having the best of two worlds.

The prince was very knowledgeable since childhood. He developed a method similar to that of the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, which was to expand his power by recruiting people, but this method was very slow.

But he could get married very quickly. As long as these capable or well-connected women became his wives or concubines, they certainly would not want anything to happen to them. They also hoped that they would become emperors and then rise to prominence.

The prince doesn't even need to take the initiative, the women around her will use their resources to help the prince go further.

The prince felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did. Not to mention the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, even the previous emperor was the same. The empress dowager and those concubines were mostly descendants of nobles.

Facts have proved that as the number of women increases, the power in his hands also grows.

Coupled with his experience as the crown prince, he began to gain a foothold in the Tiance Dynasty.

The prince had considered this before. Once he became emperor and wiped out the Prince of Zhennan, he would immediately take the Princess of Zhennan into his harem.

The Princess of Zhennan was originally a descendant of the powerful Ji family. The Ji family moved south and developed there for a long time, gaining a certain prestige and connections.

Then, by taking a concubine, we can ask the Ji family to help stabilize the situation in that area, and thus quickly resolve various problems in the south.

This is also the reason why the crown prince has the most concubines among all the princes.

No matter how ugly those women are, or even if they have physical defects, he doesn't care. What he wants are resources and connections.

Unfortunately, although the prince's ambition to marry concubines is good in theory, he does not have the ability of the founding emperor of the previous dynasty. If any of the women he marries is a traitor who wants to deal with him, he will have to die with hatred and unclear reasons.

Li Chen, who had read the "Emperor Dragon Bible", naturally knew this. He didn't want to die so unclearly, so he didn't have too many thoughts before the "Emperor Dragon Bible" was complete.

You can try to find it yourself, but being too proactive is mostly dangerous.

This was also the reason why he rejected the Crown Princess at the speed of light. The Second Prince was obviously not a fool.

After returning to the imperial capital, Li Chen's layout for the Manghuang Mountains was almost completed.

Next, he followed Lin Yue'e to the inn she had been stalking yesterday. Since he had guessed that the prince's master was here, Li Chen naturally had to come over to investigate first. If there was any danger, he would personally deal with it.

The inn is located on the west side of the imperial capital. It has an elegant environment, prosperous business, and many people coming and going.

The most important thing is that this is a major transportation route.

Whether you come here to stay or eat, it is very convenient.

Li Chen and Lin Yue'e came to the front desk, and Lin Yue'e took out a badge.

This is a badge proving the identity of a captain of police. There is no need for Li Chen’s badge to appear in such a place.

It would be so scary if I accidentally took out Li Chen’s badge.

However, Lin Yue'e put Li Chen's badge on her chest and her own badge on her waist, so she wouldn't touch the wrong one.

It is also a way of expressing that Li Chen is at heart.

"Yes, Lord Constable. I have already submitted the list of students taking the Spring Examination. Is there any problem?"

When the shopkeeper saw Lin Yue'e's badge, he thought that the government was investigating whether there were any students who had replaced others to take the exam.

This type of thing happens more or less every year. The court investigates very strictly and they cooperate very well.

"That's not the question. I want you to check for someone. He should be living in this store."

Lin Yue'e recounted what she had seen yesterday, namely the clothing characteristics of Dingtian Shangren.

The shopkeeper was very sensible and called a few waiters over as she requested.

Through communication with the waiter, I quickly got the basic information of Dingtian Shangren.

"Captain, the person you are investigating is a foreigner. He came to the inn yesterday. The waiter saw him go out very early today. He has a companion who stayed in the inn. She is having dinner at Piaoxiang Pavilion now."

The shopkeeper told where Dingtian Shangren's room was.

This kind of large inn can basically provide food, clothing, housing and transportation.

After receiving the news, Li Chen followed Lin Yue'e to Piaoxiang Pavilion.

The so-called Piaoxiang Pavilion is a relatively large dining place.

When Li Chen came here, he saw an unexpected person.

Isn’t this the woman I saw in that exotic restaurant yesterday?

According to the waiter's identification, this woman was the one they were looking for.

After locking on the target, Lin Yue'e asked the waiter to mind his own business so as not to alert the enemy.

The waiter said he understood, and it was not the first time he had cooperated with such things, and said it was his honor to serve the captain of the police.

After saying that, he went to greet the guests nearby.

Lin Yue'e took Li Chen to a deserted place, sorted out the clues in her mind, and told Li Chen.

According to the information obtained by Lin Yue'e, after the Second Prince was scared away by the strength displayed by Li Chen in the court, he was unwilling to give up and went back to ask his master to come out of seclusion.

News came from the Tianyan Divine Sect that the Second Prince's master and his mistress had both gone into seclusion.

And Lin Yue'e discovered someone who was suspected to be his master in the imperial capital.

Doesn't this mean that seclusion was just an excuse, and his master and his mistress have already come to the imperial capital and have ill intentions towards Li Chen?

As a close minister to Li Chen, Lin Yue'e suggested that they should find a way to get rid of the Second Prince's master and his mistress first to eliminate the danger.

There must be people hiding deeper in the Chunsou. It is not just the Second Prince who wants to take action. For example, the remnants of the previous dynasty who are being investigated by the Ministry of Justice and the government offices, and even some lurkers from unknown forces, are likely to take action as well.

In Lin Yue'e's opinion, if the person in front of her can be dealt with first, then they can start directly.

But she was just expressing her opinion, and it still depended on Li Chen to decide what to do specifically.

After listening for a long time, Li Chen finally understood.

In other words, I can accept this woman?

According to Li Chen's way of thinking, he doesn't need to be too polite to anyone who has ill intentions towards him.

For example, Xu Zifeng's aunt is no longer able to take the initiative, and she serves Li Chen very well, which makes her feel a sense of accomplishment.

If it were forced, there wouldn't be this feeling.

Li Xian's master's wife looked even more charming and attractive.

Li Chen is a person who likes to enjoy life and has no interest in dead fish.

He was thinking about how to get Li Xian's master's wife to come to him on her own initiative.

This woman is no ordinary woman. She has a high status in the sect and her cultivation is also very strong. If you want to make her surrender, you must understand her character and weaknesses.

There are still 4 days left until the Spring Festival. If you can find a way, you can have a good time during these 4 days.

If he can’t find it, then Li Chen will have to force his way through.

He would not be so arrogant as to leave any future troubles, and he certainly did not intend to let Li Xian's master's wife go.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chen decided to find out more information first.

He asked Lin Yue'e to monitor here and ordered the waiter to take him to the room where Ding Tianshang lived.

The waiter was sharp-eyed and saw that Lin Yue'e, the head constable, was very low-key in front of Li Chen, so he thought that Li Chen was also a high-ranking official and was very serious in his work.

When they arrived near the inn's guest room, the waiter opened the door and indicated that this was the place he was looking for. Li Chen waved his hand and asked him to leave. The waiter left without even looking back.

He knows very well that sometimes knowing less is a good thing.

After he left, Li Chen entered the room and placed an inconspicuous conch-shaped stone at the foot of the bed.

This is the prop 'Recording Stone' refined by Li Chen, which will record all movements in the room.

Dingtian Shangren is a powerful saint. If some living creatures are released or eavesdropping nearby, he will definitely be able to detect it.

It is often these inconspicuous stones that go unnoticed.

After doing all this, Li Chen closed the door and returned to Piaoxiang Pavilion.

When Lin Yue'e saw Li Chen coming back, she immediately said, "That woman is still here, but when you left just now, three people approached her, and she rejected them all."

As an official, Lin Yue'e recorded the details normally.

As a woman, she was indeed somewhat envious of that woman's figure.

Especially the plump breasts, which are what Lin Yue'e lacks.

Her bra was tied very tightly, but even if it was loosened, it was not that big.

But those were just her thoughts when she was bored. Now she was considering whether to gather people immediately to take action against that woman, or wait for the Second Prince's master to come before joining them.

She recommended defeating them one by one to avoid danger.

Li Chen said, "I have a plan, please cooperate with me."

Li Chen told Lin Yue'e about the plan.

Basically, I want to deal with that woman, and you can be my wingman and provide assist.

As for Dingtian Shangren, Li Chen is not afraid of him. I am at the maximum level. It is good enough that I don’t kill you. How dare you come to kill me?
The moment you take action, you will die, not to mention that Li Chen has already set up the formation.

After listening for a while, Lin Yue'e understood that His Majesty was definitely not simply obsessed with beauty.

Because that woman held a high status in the Tianyan Divine Sect and was very powerful, killing her would cause revenge from the Tianyan Divine Sect and even turmoil in the entire sect alliance.

Your Majesty intends to use it for your own benefit and also to stabilize the situation.

Indeed, I have a narrow mindset and only consider fighting and killing.

Thanks to Your Majesty's reminder, otherwise I would have almost made a big mistake.

Yes, Your Majesty must have meant this!
