"My lord, why are you silent? I'm sorry, I've touched a nerve. Alas, I shouldn't have said it so directly, making you even more hurt!"
She couldn't help but grasp Li Lin's hands.
He looked embarrassed and guilty.
Li Lin was furious because he didn't know who had spread the rumor that he couldn't practice virginity, and it had even reached his wife.
If he finds out who that person is, he'll definitely catch him and make him suffer the pain of having no descendants.
That's outrageous.
"Ahem, my lady, don't listen to other people's nonsense. I'm perfectly fine. Let alone in matters of the heart, I'm... top-notch. If you don't believe me, I'll let you try it tonight, shall I?"
"ah?"
She was already shy, and his words made her face turn even redder than a monkey's bottom.
"Husband, don't be stubborn..."
"Hehehehe, what are you all standing there for? Quickly clear away the food, close the door, and don't write down whoever came by!"
"promise!"
"Husband, what are you doing? Why are you smiling so wickedly..."
"Hehe, Madam, I'm just debunking a rumor!"
"oops......"
A moment later...
Outside the palace gates.
The princess's maids and the guards standing outside the door stood there as if they were deaf, without making any noise or even discussing anything.
perhaps.
They must have been used to this kind of thing in the palace by now.
I'm so numb I can't be more numb.
It hadn't even been half an hour yet.
Suddenly, the First Emperor slowly walked in from outside with Gao Shu.
Having just finished eating, he followed Li Lin's instructions and took a hundred steps after the meal, as the doctor was so hungry he could barely crawl.
He took Gao Shu for a walk around the palace to relax.
Unexpectedly, a good idea flashed through his mind: he wanted to talk to Li Lin and see if he could be included in the reform in the future.
But when he...
Just as they leisurely strolled to the outside of the palace gate...
But they saw Princess Manyin's personal maids standing outside.
He immediately looked at Gao Shu with a puzzled expression and said, "Why does this sly girl keep running to Li Lin's place every few days? He's injured and needs to rest!"
"Your Majesty, they are husband and wife, and now that they are newlyweds, it is natural that they are inseparable."
"Hehe, that's true!"
The First Emperor nodded.
I plan to go inside.
But the guards stopped them.
"Your Majesty, you cannot go in!"
"What? Is there any place in this world that I cannot enter?"
"Your Majesty, Her Highness the Princess is discussing important matters with Prime Minister Li. You cannot go in!"
"Hmph! What important matters are we discussing? Manyin is my daughter, and Li Lin is my subject. Why can't I enter?"
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor became somewhat angry.
I was just about to push open the door and barge in.
Suddenly I heard a sound.
"Damn it, this brat, can't wait any longer? Back in my day, when I was busy conquering those six kingdoms, I had no time for such matters of love. It seems he's too idle. No, I guess I need to give him a part-time job to keep him busy."
The First Emperor's face turned ashen, and he inwardly berated Li Lin.
Then he and Gao Shu stormed off.
Gao Shu followed behind him, not daring to utter a single word, for fear of angering His Majesty at this moment.
The First Emperor after returning to his study.
He picked up the memorial on the table and took a look.
A cold smile crept across his face. "You brat, you've been so unruly in the palace, so disregarding the law. I'll give you a taste of your own medicine for your debauchery. This memorial is hereby approved!"
He hurriedly picked up a vermilion brush and wrote a reply on the memorial.
He then quickly wrote an imperial edict and placed it together with the memorial.
"Gao Shu, take this and hand it to the Court of Justice. Have them make a copy and then send a eunuch to deliver this edict to Zhang Xun, the Inner Vice Minister. Tell him that once he receives the edict, he and the eunuch must immediately set off for Julu without delay!"
"promise!"
Gao Shu felt as if he had been granted a pardon. In his study, he could clearly feel the temperature around him drop by several degrees.
Now that I'm out, I feel warm all over.
certainly.
Li Lin hadn't expected this either...
Ten days later, the imperial edict had been delivered to Julu County by fast horse.
Han Xin, with his troops, welcomed the arrival of the angel.
"His Majesty has decreed that Han Xin, a native of Huaiyin and the Censor-in-Chief, has arbitrarily used private punishments to exterminate the entire Lü clan, and has also instigated trouble, attacked and breached the county seat, causing casualties and flooding of farmland in Julu County, among other crimes, totaling more than thirty offenses. The court is outraged upon hearing this and has specially dispatched the Inner Vice Minister Zhang Xun to take over Julu and arrest the criminal Han Xin and his accomplices Long Er and Long San. So be it!"
"What?"
Han Xin's eyes widened, clearly not believing his ears. "Sir, you didn't misread it, did you? Why do I, Han Xin, have more than thirty charges? According to the laws of Qin, I have at most committed the crime of using private punishment. Why am I charged with so many crimes?"
"Imperial Censor Han, I am merely acting under orders. As for why His Majesty intends to punish you, I have no idea. Moreover, I am an old friend of your mentor, the current Prime Minister, and naturally would not issue an imperial decree indiscriminately. I beg your understanding, Imperial Censor Han!"
