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

Chapter 66 Does this kid really think that the emperor believes it?

The beautiful woman next to the Queen Mother had an outstanding appearance, was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her manners revealed dignity and gentleness.

The gorgeous purple dress makes her figure even more charming.

Especially when viewed from the side, her chest is full and upright, and the swaying of her hands and feet with every move is even more fascinating.

Compared to the mature empress dowager, this beautiful woman is still a bit more youthful, which is really rare.

At first sight, Li Chen thought, could this woman still be a virgin?
She looks like she is not very happy, but in fact, she has not tasted the sweetness yet. Once she tastes it, she will be unable to stop.

This is what Li Chen's experience told him.

Seeing Li Chen coming, the beautiful woman quickly stood up and bowed gracefully, with just the right amount of respect and distance in her voice: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."

Her eyes swept lightly over Li Chen, seeming to hide some complicated emotions, but the resentment was skillfully hidden deep in her eyes, without revealing any trace.

Li Chen glanced at the Queen Mother and asked, "Who is this?"

Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled slightly and explained to Li Chen, "Your Majesty, this is an old acquaintance of mine. She came here today to ask for an audience. Her nephew was accidentally arrested by Constable Lin, and the badge in Constable Lin's hand was actually your badge."

Li Chen couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard that. It seems that Lin Yue'e is capable. She started working hard as soon as she got the badge. It seems that it was right to give it to her.

Judging from the beautiful woman, whether it is her clothes or the fact that she can meet the Queen Mother, it proves that she is of high status.

Then her nephew must not be an ordinary person.

Li Chen asked calmly, "I wonder what your nephew has done wrong?"

The beautiful woman lowered her head, her voice filled with helplessness and self-blame: "Your Majesty, my nephew did something wrong this time. He was quick-witted and said some dirty words, which offended Captain Lin. However, he is weak and sickly. If he stays in prison for seven days, I am afraid he will not be able to bear it. I dare to ask Your Majesty to forgive him this time and let him go home to recuperate."

If it's just talk, then it's not a big problem.

The Queen Mother also said a few nice words at the right moment, her eyes full of expectations and requests.

At this time, the person who was most shocked was Ji Lianyu.

In the past, even if her nephew was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, the Empress Dowager would ask the palace maid to pass on a message and the Minister of Justice would have to release him.

Even though the Minister of Justice was a close confidant of the late emperor, the empress dowager did not ask the late emperor.

This time he was only detained in a government office near the Ministry of Justice, but because Lin Yue'e had Li Chen's badge, the Queen Mother even said that she had to wait for Li Chen's consent, as she did not have the authority to do so.

Doesn't that mean that this emperor not only has real power, but also strong power.

Otherwise, why would the empress dowager need to ask the emperor for permission for such a small matter as releasing someone from a constable?

Li Chen didn't know this woman, but he still had to give her face to the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother had no grudge against Li Chen and even introduced him to the harem.

So, Li Chen slowly said, "I already know about this matter. Captain Lin is strict in enforcing the law, which is understandable. But considering your nephew's weak body, I can let him go home and recuperate. However, he must be careful with his words and actions in the future and must not commit the same mistake again."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's eyes flashed with joy, and she quickly knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will definitely remember this in my heart, and will strictly discipline my nephew in the future, and he will never make the same mistake again."

The Queen Mother also showed a satisfied smile. She really enjoyed the face given by Li Chen.

There is also a sense of honor to be able to make the emperor of the saint level speak for him.

After Ji Lianyu said goodbye, Li Chen began to talk about the purpose of his visit.

In fact, it was not a big deal. The Queen Mother had just selected one of the ten concubines in the harem, and he asked the Queen Mother to arrange the next one as soon as possible.

The Queen Mother said it was okay, you may not trust my character, but you have to trust my vision.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Chen said goodbye and left.

On the way back to his own bedroom, Li Chen beckoned slightly, and the loyal minister, Eunuch Cui, quickly appeared behind him, lowered his head respectfully, and waited for his master's instructions.

Li Chen first praised Eunuch Cui and rewarded him with some gold.

Eunuch Cui said that it was his honor to share the emperor's worries.

He still tactfully accepted Li Chen's reward. The amount of gold was not important, what was important was that it was Li Chen's reward.

Since his subordinates work hard, Li Chen must reward them with something so that they will continue to work hard.

"There is one more thing. Find out the identity of the woman who just left the Queen Mother's room and who her nephew is and what he has done wrong."

Upon hearing Li Chen's order, Eunuch Cui immediately went down to do it.

I thought the news would have to wait until tomorrow, but just over an hour later, Eunuch Cui handed over the information.

Since there was still some time before the break, Li Chen picked up the information and checked it.

Li Sining, who was playing with toys nearby, also came over. She was curious about what Li Chen was looking at.

After looking for a while, Li Chen finally understood.

The dandy boy who had flirted with Lin Yue'e and whom he had beaten up yesterday was the hostage left in the imperial capital by the Prince of Zhennan, named Xu Zifeng.

He was indeed thrown into jail by Lin Yue'e this morning because of his foul mouth.

The beautiful woman turned out to be Xu Zifeng's aunt, and she was a widow whose husband died just after she got married.

She was the one who cleaned up most of Xu Zifeng's mess in the imperial capital.

When Li Chen saw Xu Zifeng's file, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"This kid is being too pretentious. He's doing this on purpose, which makes people suspect that he has other intentions." Li Chen complained.

"Indeed, I can see that there is something wrong with this prince named Xu Zifeng. He is deliberately looking for trouble." Li Sining continued.

Li Chen really didn't understand what Xu Zifeng was thinking.

If he came to the imperial capital, stayed there honestly and didn't make mistakes intentionally, then few people would pay attention to him, and he could slowly develop his own trump card in secret.

Xu Zifeng was causing trouble everywhere, and he never did anything big, but kept causing small troubles. Naturally, he came to the attention of the public security department.

If you do this, the public security department will have no choice but to pay attention to you.

You thought you acted well, but your underwear was clearly checked by the Ministry of Justice and the government.

Li Chen could even see traces of the previous emperor's review in these intelligence documents.
The late emperor wrote some comments, meaning that before his father took action, all departments should turn a blind eye.

Otherwise, if we really kill him, wouldn't that force his father to rebel?

"I was wondering how Eunuch Cui could figure it out so quickly. So that's how it is." Li Chen murmured.

In these intelligence files, even when and where Xu Zifeng met someone, as well as this person's subsequent movements, were all monitored by the experts of the Ministry of Justice.

Does Xu Zifeng really think that all officials of the Tiance Dynasty are idiots?

Li Chen felt that when I was a prince, I just behaved ordinary and no one cared about me.

If I act like a loser, wouldn't other people think that I am hiding something if I am so useless despite my talent?

You showed your bravery and wisdom at the King’s Residence, and you have a great reputation.

Then he came to the capital and seemed like a different person. He made small mistakes on purpose instead of big ones.

This is so obvious.

Whenever you make a few big mistakes, I feel like you’re not just acting, you’re really starting to mess around.

The thing is that if you really don't make big mistakes, it would be hard for me to misunderstand you.

If you do this, you are telling everyone directly: I am going to start hiding my abilities!

Doesn’t this kid think that the emperor really believes it?
