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

Chapter 90 Chu Ruoyan finally stopped making a fuss, but now someone comes along who makes even more noise!

The next day, when Xu Zifeng came back from the yamen prison, he found that his aunt had dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she did not sleep well the previous night and was probably worried all night.

So he stepped forward and said distressedly: "Auntie, I made you worry, but don't worry this time, I will stay at home and won't cause any trouble again."

Xu Zifeng just didn't believe it. He was at home and Lin Yue'e couldn't come in and catch him.

Ji Lianyu just didn't get a good rest last night, but that doesn't mean she is unhappy now.

This was the first time she tasted sweetness after living for so long. Coupled with Li Chen's coaxing and persuasion yesterday, her heart began to change.

Li Chen had looked up her information. She was abandoned in the imperial capital by the Ji family and was subject to a lot of gossip because she was a widow.

These have always made her life very dull, and her world seems gray.

At this time, what she needed most was a support, or an idea that kept her alive.

Ji Lianyu felt that she could help Xu Zifeng, which gave her some comfort, so she kept helping him.

She was afraid of being abandoned and longed for the feeling of being needed.

Li Chen naturally started from this point. He said last night that the Prince of Zhennan was just a vassal king. The late emperor did not touch him because of their old friendship, not because he could not deal with the Prince of Zhennan.

Don't think that the Prince of Zhennan looks so fierce. He has never dared to rebel because he is afraid of the major army groups of the Tiance Dynasty around him.

Li Chen now has real power and has no relationship with King Zhennan.

He could just find a reason to deal with the Prince of Zhennan. If a fight really breaks out, what will happen to the Ji family? What will happen to Xu Zifeng?
Li Chen knew what her weakness was, so he guided her to think in this way so that she would have a sense of crisis.

Seeing that she was being led by the nose, Li Chen began to hint at her.

As long as you serve me well, after you deal with the King of Zhennan, I can show leniency to your Ji family and even let Xu Zifeng go.

This point accurately grasps Ji Lianyu's inner thoughts.

Ji Lianyu is not Chu Ruoyan. Li Chen naturally has different ways to deal with different women.

Ji Lianyu has always wanted to prove that she is useful to the Ji family, so Li Chen, the new emperor of the Saint Realm who possesses powerful power, is undoubtedly her greatest support.

Now that she understood this, she would naturally be more attentive when serving Li Chen in the second half of the night.

This was the main reason why Li Si Ning couldn’t sleep last night.

Finally Chu Ruoyan stopped making a fuss, but now someone comes along who makes even more noise!

The residence of Prince Zhennan.

Hearing Xu Zifeng say this, Ji Lianyu smiled and said, "It's okay, Zifeng. Your martial arts skills require fighting. From now on, I will take care of your affairs. The Queen Mother and I have a deep friendship, but you should try to make small mistakes and never make big mistakes."

If you don't cause trouble, how can I have an excuse to serve the emperor?

The reason why Li Chen let her out was because he wanted to see her fall into depravity.

After all, Li Chen has never lacked women before, and he has even less now.

Xu Zifeng thought, is there such a good thing?

Anyway, my aunt has always been helping him solve his problems silently, and rarely says how she solved them.

Besides, this time his aunt said that it was the Queen Mother who was helping, so he didn't ask too many questions.

Of course, if he asked in detail, Ji Lianyu would firmly say it was the Queen Mother.

The blame for doing good deeds without leaving a name will definitely be put on the Queen Mother.

This creates a closed loop where everyone is happy.

Xu Zifeng thought that he had the Queen Mother's protection, so he continued to make trouble and his strength increased.

Lin Yue'e can use Xu Zifeng to improve her performance. After all, she is really protected by Li Chen, and her status will become higher and higher.

Ji Lianyu would have a reason to approach Li Chen and invest in the future of the Ji family, and perhaps provide a guarantee for Zifeng's safety.

Li Chen was needed by everyone, so he naturally enjoyed the happiness.

Facts have proved that Xu Zifeng is indeed a son of destiny. He has his biological father protecting him in the fiefdom of the King of Zhennan, and in the imperial capital, Li Chen takes better care of him than his father. At the morning court today, Li Chen was in a good mood and handled government affairs very quickly.

When he returned to the imperial study, the eunuch brought the news that the Minister of Rites Yan Hai wanted to see him.

After getting Li Chen's consent, Yan Hai carefully held a sealed jade box in his hands, with an unconcealable look of pride on his face, and walked quickly into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have obtained a rare treasure today. It is the inner elixir of an ancient snake demon. I dare to invite Your Majesty to take a look."

After saying that, he slowly opened the jade box, and saw a crystal clear, golden snake demon's inner elixir lying quietly inside, emitting a faint fragrance.

There were faint lines flowing on the snake demon's inner elixir, as if it contained a mysterious power that made people feel awe.

"What is the name of this inner elixir? What are its magical effects?" Li Chen asked with a little anticipation.

Yan Hai quickly replied: "Your Majesty, this is the ancient spiritual beast 'Black Scaled Ghost Snake', which has absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for tens of thousands of years. If Your Majesty can refine it, you will gain the power of the ancient spiritual beast."

Yan Hai knew that his master, the Second Prince, would most likely take action, and His Majesty might not be unprepared.

No matter who wins or loses, he must be prepared to deal with it.

As soon as he heard that such a treasure appeared in the eastern part of the Tiance Dynasty, he immediately asked his men to obtain it and secretly present it to Li Chen.

It doesn’t matter whether Li Chen needs it or not; what matters is his attitude.

Apart from anything else, if the second prince fails, I hope Li Chen can spare his life.

It's because Li Chen has a good character that only a minister like him would come and try to please him.

Li Chen actually didn't think too much about it, and he didn't even know who belonged to whom in the court. When he was the emperor, he just went to work and punched in. As a court official, he just had to complete his job and not talk back to him like Feng Huai did.

If faced with danger, he has his own way.

However, for the time being, he didn't feel any danger.

Seeing his subordinates presenting gifts, he naturally accepted them and also gave Yan Hai some rewards.

This reward has its own requirements, and Yan Hai, at his level, is not short of gold, silver and treasures.

Li Chen gave Yan Hai a piece of grinding stone from the imperial study as a reward.

This is actually just an ordinary 'priceless' piece of grinding, but its core meaning was given by Li Chen.

Even a strand of hair given by Li Chen is worth ten thousand gold!
Yan Hai excitedly picked up the grinder, kowtowed to express his gratitude, and left with satisfaction.

In the entire court, how many people can get the things bestowed by Emperor Li Chen?
In the eyes of court officials, this kind of thing is more valuable than anything else!
Put it at home, and whenever guests ask, just tell them the origin of it. This will surely make them envious, and you will feel a little proud too.

Not long after Yan Hai left, Li Chen had also dealt with the memorial and was just about to go out to keep an appointment, and took the jade box containing the 'Inner Pill of the Black Scaled Phantom Snake' with him.

I had originally been thinking of going to the palace’s treasury and picking out a treasure for Lin Yue’e.

Since Yan Hai sent it over, it saves us a lot of trouble.

In the imperial capital government office, Lin Yue'e was reviewing the prisoner's files with a focused look on her face.

When she heard someone coming in, she said without even raising her head, "Put the file here."

Just now she asked her men to retrieve some files necessary for investigating the case, and she thought her men had come.

As a result, an exquisite jade box was placed where she pointed. She caught it with her peripheral vision and frowned slightly.

Because recently many powerful people have given her gifts, but she has rejected them all.

In the imperial capital government, Lin Yue'e is well-known for her integrity.

She knew that if she accepted the gift, she would be timid in doing things in the future.

So no matter what it is, she won't accept it.

Just as she looked up and was about to scold the person who gave her the gift, she saw a familiar face.

Lin Yue'e immediately stood up and said, "I didn't know it was Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
