Chapter 12 You want to keep a low profile? I'll make you live a high profile!



I really can't accept this!

Meng Yi was so angry that he clenched his teeth. He was an honest man who had always worked quietly, especially after the Censor-in-Chief became unreliable, he still had to help the Censor-in-Chief deal with some matters.

Otherwise, the normal operation of the Censorate might really be in trouble.

Now that he has witnessed this scene, can he maintain a balanced mindset?

The First Emperor ignored the envious and jealous looks from others. After all, they were ignorant, and even if he told them, they wouldn't believe that this brat was a great talent!

So he patted Li Lin on the shoulder, laughed, and left the Censorate with Princess Manyin.

What's most infuriating is that he even asked Princess Manyin what her first impression of Li Lin was while they were walking.

This almost made the other censors' eyes pop out!

This is outrageous!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we work so diligently, yet we are no match for a big slacker!

I'm so unwilling to accept this.

As soon as the First Emperor left, these people immediately changed their tune, fawning over him and leaving Li Lin somewhat bewildered.

Why are you all crowding around here? I feel like I've become a hot commodity!

Li Lin couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

This Your Majesty!

It's absolutely disgusting. I know he doesn't want to be an official and doesn't like being high-profile.

This thing, ironically, made him so high-profile.

well,

From now on, it will be hard for them not to become famous in the Qin Dynasty!

He sighed deeply, looking sadly at the blue sky. His melancholy gaze, tilted at a forty-five-degree angle, made the group of censors so angry they gritted their teeth.

Damn it!

This kid got the benefit and is still acting innocent. His Majesty is so fond of him, yet he still has a bitter face.

This kid really doesn't know how lucky he is!

The other censors were filled with anger, resentment, and envy.

Meng Yi almost cried himself to death in the toilet: "Brother, why aren't you as favored by His Majesty as Li Xin? If you had just put in a little effort, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state now! We're both brothers, so why do you always get such miserable jobs? It's so annoying!"

An hour later, the room of the Imperial Censor finally quieted down.

The crowd's restlessness subsided slightly.

But Censor Li Lin was different. After lunch, he went to sleep in the side room without a care in the world. He had been on a bumpy ride in the carriage these past few days and hadn't had a good rest. Now that he had some free time, why didn't he take a nap?

Is sleeping without pay worthy of the First Emperor's high regard?

Just as Li Lin was fast asleep, the First Emperor had just returned to the palace, and his lips hadn't closed the entire way.

Man Yin noticed her father's unusual behavior.

However, I was too embarrassed to say it directly, so I could only hint at it indirectly.

"Father, Father, why are you laughing again? Is something funny? Quick, tell us!"

"Cough cough!"

Ying Zheng coughed a couple of times, regaining his serious demeanor. "Little girl, why do you need to know so much? I have some matters to attend to now, so you should return to your residence first!"

"Huh? Father, you didn't tell me! I'm angry, hmph!"

Man Yin left unwillingly.

Despite her angry demeanor, she was actually overjoyed, as she had achieved her goal of getting her father to bring Fusu back.

As for other things, she wasn't very interested.

No one knows a daughter better than her father.

Ying Zheng could only shake his head and smile as he watched her leave in that state.

"This little girl has grown up; it's time for her to get married! Otherwise, if I keep her around, she might develop some bad habits!"

He muttered to himself, then thought of Li Lin again.

He couldn't help but laugh again: "Hehe, Li Lin, you little rascal, didn't you want to escape from me? Didn't you not want to be high-profile? Well, I'll make sure you're high-profile."

When I saw those censors looking at you with envy, I knew that you were in for a rough time!

Wait, I'm about to give you a big surprise!

"Guards, bring me my bamboo slips. I want to draft an imperial edict!"

"Huh? Your Majesty, what kind of decree are you going to issue now?"

Ever since Zhao Gao, the head of the Imperial Carriage Office, was imprisoned by the First Emperor, Gao Shu had been unusually cautious. Now that His Majesty was suddenly going to draft an edict, he had to ask for a general idea first, otherwise His Majesty might change his mind.

He's the one who's going to be unlucky!

"Hahaha, Gao Shu, what are you dawdling about, you old codger? Bring me the bamboo slips now! I'm telling you, this is a joyous occasion!"

"What?"

Gao Shu was somewhat at a loss, so he had no choice but to bring over the bamboo slips.

The First Emperor immediately picked up a pen and drafted an edict on it.

"Alright, now take it to the Court of Justice and have Li Si stamp it. Tell him that this is my will, and he cannot interfere. Do you understand?"

"promise!"

Gao Shu rolled up the imperial edict and then rushed to the Court of Justice to hand it over to the Prime Minister for stamping.

Keep as a backup.

Then, the officials of the Court of Justice were sent to deliver a copy of the First Emperor's handwritten edict.

As for what was written in the imperial edict, Gao Shu dared not open it to read it. In short, when the First Emperor wrote this edict, there was always a strange smile on his lips, a smile that made him feel uneasy.

He didn't even dare to ask Li Si, who had read the imperial edict, because Li Si's expression after reading it was one of extreme astonishment, which made him really afraid to ask.

Finally, the imperial edict was taken to Li Xin's home by the officials of the Court of Justice.
