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

Chapter 69: A cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Tianyuan Realm died just like that?
In the Chu family, Chu Ruoyan did have a maid, and then she let her mother choose a maid.

Although she is said to be a maid, she might actually be Chu Ruoyan’s cousin or something like that, who wants to get a job.

As long as the background is investigated clearly, one can be selected into the palace.

However, Chu Ruoyan's mother must have chosen a loyal maid. She was afraid that when Chu Ruoyan's position beside Li Chen was still unstable, those cousins ​​would try to snatch Chu Ruoyan's favor, which would be a big trouble.

After paying homage to the Queen Mother, Chu Ruoyan's mother was summoned and entered the palace with two maids.

As they entered the palace gate, they became terrified.

He used to be from a second-rate family, so how could he be qualified to enter the palace?

It’s different now, they are royal relatives.

Even the palace maids and eunuchs became very friendly.

Chu Ruoyan's mother was very sensible and took care of everything.

When she saw Chu Ruoyan coming back from the Queen Mother's palace, she was extremely excited.

Her daughter was dressed in an elegant palace dress and had a stunning temperament. She really looked like an imperial concubine.

Bah! Bah!
My daughter is the imperial concubine!
This time, Chu Ruoyan's mother came not only to visit her daughter, but also to bring Chu Ruoyan's father's request.

That is to say, the Chu family will hold a "housewarming party" the day after tomorrow, and they will invite Li Chen to attend.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about your father. When you are free, come back. If you are not free, stay in the palace and take good care of His Majesty. Don't try to run out every day. That's too rude."

Chu Ruoyan's mother knew this very well. She just wanted Li Chen to think that her daughter was sensible and not the kind of person who would cause trouble.

"Mom, I know."

Chu Ruoyan also understood that his father had been bending over backwards in the imperial capital his entire life, and now that he had finally straightened his head, it was only natural for him to want to show off.

If Li Chen is free, she will ask for instructions.

If Li Chen was not free, she would not say it. She had to know the rules in the palace, especially when she was around Li Chen, she had to be sensible.

Next, Chu Ruoyan took her mother and two maids to visit her bedroom.

There was also a palace maid in charge following her. After Chu Ruoyan had a rough look around, she would have someone decorate the place according to Chu Ruoyan's requirements.

Even though it hasn't been renovated yet, the grandeur of the palace has already opened their eyes.

Chu Ruoyan stayed in the palace for a while and slowly began to adapt.

Her mother and two maids were simply dazzled by the sight.

Any decoration here would be worth a lot of money if taken out.

Even the bricks and tiles on the floor are not ordinary.

Faced with Chu Ruoyan's question, her mother didn't dare to give any advice and just let her figure it out on her own.

After visiting for a while, her mother asked, "Where is His Majesty now? Do you want us to go and pay our respects?"

Chu Ruoyan smiled and replied, "Mother, His Majesty should be attending the morning court now."

That’s right, at this time Li Chen was dozing off in the court.

Nothing major happened today, just simple daily reports from the court officials.

There is also the progress of various projects.

Li Chen is now becoming more and more adept at handling state affairs.

Anyway, no one taught him, so he just did what he felt like.

He does whatever he thinks fit.

At this time, a prompt sound appeared in Li Chen's system.

[After detection, there are abnormal spatial fluctuations in the south of the imperial capital. The wild secret realm has been opened. Please complete the task within the specified time.] Li Chen thought about it. Li Si Ning has now cultivated ten main meridians. It's time to give her some resources.

The resources provided by the system are truly the world's top treasures.

Not to mention the supporting facilities, you will definitely be directly promoted to the great perfection of the Saint realm.

One more max-level trumpet means one more level of safety.

Originally, Li Chen planned to take Li Sining with him. Places like secret wilderness areas could help them gain certain combat experience.

In battles of the same level, whoever has more combat experience will often have a huge advantage.

But the problem is that Li Chen has very little combat experience and relies entirely on his level to crush others.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with crushing others in level. You, who are at the Kaimai realm, have decades of combat experience, but I, who am at the Saint realm, can kill you in seconds from 800 meters away, and you still can't do anything.

It would be very troublesome to take Li Si Ning with him, as he would also need to take care of Li Si Ning.

It’s better to go solo and go through the basic processes that you have never been exposed to.

Li Chen now seems to have opened a max-level account and is completing novice tasks.

Those ferocious novice bosses are about to face beings that are even more ferocious than them.

I was absent from the meeting and the morning court was almost over.

At this time, Pang Jin, the newly appointed Minister of Justice, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I, Pang Jin, have a report to make."

Seeing Li Chen lazily raising his hand, Pang Jin nodded slightly, his voice steady and powerful: "Your Majesty, regarding the case of the crown prince's death, I have made some new progress today."

He paused, his eyes swept over the people in the court, and continued: "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unfortunately passed away, his bodyguard Fan Kuai was a master who had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Abyss Realm and was known as the fastest swordsman in the imperial capital.

However, after the death of the Crown Prince, Fan Kuai mysteriously disappeared. At the time, many people speculated that this incident might be inextricably linked to Fan Kuai, but unfortunately, Fan Kuai's whereabouts remained unknown, making the case confusing. "

When Pang Jin said this, he told Li Chen the whole story.

Many ministers knew this information, but Li Chen might not know it.

Li Chen had never paid attention to this matter before, and Pang Jin's words really took his feelings into consideration.

Then Pang Jin continued, "However, just this morning, I received a report from my subordinates in the Ministry of Justice that Fan Kuai was found dead in his home. What's even more shocking is that his death was exactly the same as that of the Crown Prince. There was a blue mark on his chest, and he was completely dead."

There was an uproar in the court.

What? A cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Abyss Realm died so quietly?
Even an ordinary saint cannot kill Fan Kuai easily.

Not to mention that he was also a cultivator in the Tianyuan Realm, so Fan Kuai was not afraid of him.

This guy has been famous for a long time and is also the prince's trusted bodyguard. He is no ordinary person.

The number of known saints in the imperial capital and its surrounding areas can be counted on one hand. Who could have done this?
If there is a fight, there will definitely be violent fluctuations. To kill a master like Fan Kuai, even if a powerful Saint comes, he will have to stimulate his meridians frantically to kill him.

Moreover, there are many masters in the imperial capital, and they will be aware of some of the situations to some extent, so someone around will definitely report the case.

But Fan Kuai's death was too bizarre, which made people feel very strange.

Especially those former "followers" of the crown prince, they strive to get Pang Jin to find out the truth as soon as possible to comfort the crown prince's spirit in heaven.

After listening to Pang Jin's report, Li Chen nodded slightly and instructed: "It's good to have progress. You continue to investigate. I believe in you and the ability of the Ministry of Justice."

Upon hearing this, Pang Jin bowed respectfully and said loudly, "I will obey your order! I will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations!"

After he finished speaking, today's morning court session came to an end.

As usual, Li Chen returned to the imperial study to check the memorials.

At this time, Eunuch Cui brought Pang Jin into the imperial study.

Pang Jin came in front of Li Chen, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have a secret report!"
