Chapter 7

Wang Dehai smiled and said to Lin Nanjie: "Tell the Imperial Household Department for me that the weather is getting colder, so please buy some more winter clothes for the little prince."

Lin Nanli accepted the order.

After leaving the Purple Palace, Lin Nanjie was halfway to the Imperial Household Department when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why did Wang Dehai come back suddenly?

Although the little prince was questioned by many parties, his food, clothing and other expenses were all in accordance with the standards of a royal prince, so he did not lack a few winter clothes.

Lin Nanjie realized later that he had been sent away.

Lin Nanjie suddenly felt like he was splashed with cold water, and felt cold from head to toe.

He hasn't even been found out as a fake eunuch yet, and he's already being blamed for this?

-

After Li Chengxuan returned to the Purple Palace after the court session, he was not very happy. He picked up the pile of memorials on the table and read them.

"Report that a group of people in Quanzhou have started an uprising."

Li Chengqian held the pen and wrote heavily: The decree to recruit aid has been issued.

What a bullshit patrol! They are still asking about the incident that was reported a month ago. It's obvious that the corpse was left idle. The Censorate and the Imperial Guards must investigate it thoroughly.

"Weihaiwei has seen frequent snowfalls, which is truly a good omen!"

Li Chenghuan got even angrier. What auspicious omen!

Don’t you see where Weihaiwei is? It snows heavily frequently at this time of year, but instead of reporting the disaster, they rush to report the auspicious sign?

Li Chenghuan angrily wrote: Resist the cold in time.

After calming down his anger, he picked up another one:

"The people of Dali Prefecture have refined a magical medicine that can make people strong and vigorous. I would like to present it to you."

With a "smack" sound, Li Chengqian slammed the top-quality purple-haired wolf's hair on the table viciously.

What are these ministers he has been supporting doing every day?

Wang Dehai was waiting outside and sighed when he heard what happened inside.

At the end of the year, the government was busy, and the emperor had been angry more than once about these outrageous memorials.

But it seems to be happening more frequently recently?

Li Chenghuan looked at the nonsense memorial in front of him, but Lin Nanjie's hateful face couldn't help but appear in his mind.

The first time he heard Lin Nanjie's inner voice, he was so frightened that he thought it was the reincarnation of his father's ghost.

After listening to him many times, I realized that this little eunuch had a rare straightforward mind and a kind nature.

But in this deep palace, human hearts are the least trustworthy thing.

Li Chenghuan couldn't tell what he was feeling, but he felt a little disappointed.

What a pity, such an eye-catching little eunuch.

The tip of the pen was imprinted on the rice paper, gradually wetting the paper and leaving ugly ink marks on the white paper.

Li Chenghuan picked up the pen, as if he had made a decision, and asked Wang Dehai to come in.

Just at this moment, Wang Dehai came in through the curtain.

"Your Majesty, Lin Nanqi wants to see you."

That little eunuch?

Li Chengqian didn't know what he was feeling. He crumpled up the dirty paper and said calmly, "Oh? Lin Nanjie?"

"Your Majesty, it's him."

What are you doing here this time?

Still want to find a chance to sneak into the bedroom?

I couldn't hear your heartbeat. Li Chengqian's eyes were deep and heavy, revealing a chilling aura. He said in a deep voice:

"Let him in."

For some reason, Wang Dehai always felt that although Li Chengqian's words did not sound very happy, they seemed to have other implications.

After Lin Nanjie went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver the message, he walked around the Yu Garden for several laps. The more he walked, the more he felt that his life was hanging by a thread.

With one final stomp of his feet, he mustered up his courage and went to the Purple Palace.

After all, the Dog Emperor is his top boss.

After the message was passed, Lin Nanjie walked into the Purple Palace nervously. When he saw Li Chenghuan's stern gaze, he became even more nervous and almost stumbled.

Then he knelt down with a thump and kowtowed several times: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Li Chenghuan looked at Lin Nanjie's expression, which he didn't even notice. He subconsciously held his breath and waited, "Speak."

Lin Nanjie's face turned red, and he stammered, looking very embarrassed.

Li Chengqian was getting impatient waiting: "Why are you hesitating so much?"

Lin Nanjie: [Okay, you asked me to say this.]

Lin Nanjie took a deep breath and steadied his voice:

"Yes, someone covets the emperor's dragon body!"

The clear voice echoed throughout the Zichen Palace. People inside and outside the palace were stunned and stood there, wanting to cover their ears in pain.

Just say it, why are you speaking so loudly?

They don't want to hear it?

Who coveted the emperor's dragon body, and why was the emperor's dragon body coveted?

Is this something they can listen to?

Wang Dehai was almost embarrassed. Did this kid ever learn how to speak? Did he waste his time in the Imperial Household Department?

It took Li Chenghuan several tries to regain his composure. He was so shocked that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

What does it mean to covet his dragon body!

Lin Nanjie only heard the silence in the Purple Palace. He licked his dry lips and carefully took out the small bottle in his arms: "This is physical evidence."

Lin Nanjie: [Huh—I finally said it out. It was really uncomfortable to keep it in my heart.]

[I am really smart to think of such a euphemism.]

[By the way, I'd like to implicitly compliment the dog emperor on his good figure. ]

Li Chengqian didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, it was always very complicated!

Could it be that I haven't come to see him because I haven't figured out how to say it?

Is this a clever way of saying it?

Li Chenghuan simply wanted to pry open Lin Nanjie's brain to see what was inside.

But no matter what, Lin Nanjie took the initiative to talk to him honestly about the matter, and his unhappiness disappeared, although it was not at all what he had imagined.

He motioned Wang Dehai to take the small bottle over, took a look, and frowned: "What is this?"

Wang Dehai: "Do you want the imperial physician to come over?"

Lin Nanqi was slightly surprised: [Aphrodisiac! I've made it so clear, coveting the dragon's body, isn't that clear enough? ]

[Really? After marrying him, he treats her coldly. No wonder the queen can’t help herself. ]

[Aphrodisiacs, can they also be understood as a little fun between husband and wife? 】

[Besides, if it weren't for the dog emperor's incompetence, why would others resort to such a desperate measure! ]

Wang Dehai also reacted and looked at the emperor awkwardly: "The harem has been neglected for too long."

Li Chenghuan had just forgiven Lin Nanjie, but his anger was aroused again. What did he mean by "not being able to do it"?

We can't just let it go like this.

Li Chenghuan glanced at Lin Nanjie with a cold look: "Go and get five beatings. I'll beat you at the entrance of the Purple Palace!"

Lin Nanjie: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Nanqi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was considered a light punishment.

[Wait, although being beaten with a stick is to be expected, it would be very unseemly to do it at the gate of the Purple Palace.]

But what Lin Nanjie didn't expect was that the beating would require taking off the pants!

Lin Nanqi covered his buttocks and looked at Li Chengqian pleadingly: "Your Majesty, can you please not take off your pants?"

[No! You can’t take it off! You absolutely cannot take it off!]

Li Chengqian was delighted again: "Since ancient times, people have to take off their pants before being beaten with a stick. Do you still want me to set a precedent for you?"

Li Chenghuan had never expected that this little eunuch was quite concerned about his reputation.

Lin Nanjie: [How perverted! ]

Lin Nanjie was anxious but didn't dare to show it on his face, so he made up an excuse: "I have an abscess on my butt, I dare not tarnish the emperor's eyes!"

Li Chenghuan was just teasing Lin Nanjie on purpose. Seeing how anxious he was, he realized his goal had been achieved. He raised his hand and said, "Just hit him like this."

After all, he didn't have the habit of looking at eunuchs' butts.

Lin Nanqi breathed a sigh of relief and lay down obediently.

The four men holding the cane raised it and brought it down on his body, but he did not feel the expected pain.

The five boards were quickly completed.

It hurts, but not as bad as I imagined.

[So this is just a spanking, it's not as scary as I imagined. ]

Li Chengqian sneered softly.

Lin Nanjie didn't know that there were rules for beating people in the palace.

If the emperor really hates someone, he will beat him ruthlessly.

If the emperor doesn't hate you that much, just be gentle and pretend to hit him, but don't hit him too hard.

When the person beating the eunuch saw that the emperor agreed not to take off his pants, he understood in his heart that although this eunuch would be beaten, he would probably become a popular figure in front of the emperor.

How could they be so stupid as to offend Yu's former favorite? Naturally, they would give him a light punishment.

Lin Nanqi covered her buttocks and thanked Li Chengqian: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Li Chengqian snorted.

He also felt that this little eunuch was not as smart as he had imagined. No matter how big the imperial concubine was, she could still be bigger than him.

Won't you come and hug his thighs?

"If you do it again next time, it won't be as simple as five strokes of the cane." Li Chenghuan did not forget to threaten.

Lin Nanjie: "Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. I will never dare to do that again."

Lin Nanqi covered his butt and went back to his room to recuperate.

But this is not the end of the story.

Two days later, the Imperial Concubine suddenly came to the Purple Palace and made a tearful accusation: "Your Majesty, someone stole my bellyband!"

Li Chengqian was shocked: "There are people stealing bellybands in the palace."

Concubine Qin: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Lin Nanqi, who was waiting in the outer hall and was glared at by Concubine Qin, was stunned.

Does your Majesty know what you are talking about?

Little prince, not even five years old! Stealing a bellyband?

When the little prince was brought in, he was holding a light red birch bellyband in his hand, and his little face looked 70% like Li Chengqian.

Wang Dehai was completely confused: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is only four years old. He is not old enough to understand human affairs. There must be some misunderstanding."

Qin Yilan covered her face and cried, "Now that they have been arrested, Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Li Chenghuan pulled the little prince to his side and said, "Tell father what is going on."

The young prince glanced at Li Chenghuan, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Just refuse to speak.

A hint of pride flashed across Qin Yilan's eyes.

Anyway, the little prince is mute, so he can just let her say whatever the situation is.

Qin Yilan: "Not only that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has no respect for teachers, no regard for elders, and is harsh to the palace maids!"

Li Chengzhen looked at the nurse sternly: "Is this true?"

The nurse knelt down with a thump: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is still young, don't take it seriously!"

The palace maid beside Qin Yilan ripped open the wet nurse's sleeve, revealing a deep tooth mark with blood on it.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and looked at the little prince: "Did you do it?"

The little prince looked at him without reservation.

Li Chengqian had a headache.
