128: Chapter 128 Your Servant Has Sothing to Say 128: Chapter 128 Your Servant Has Sothing to Say Damn, did this girl really find out about this too?
Who said my little Emperor’s influence couldn’t reach beyond the Imperial Palace?
Isn’t that utter nonsense?
At the first mont, Lin Yi imdiately thought of this.
To tell the truth, he was sowhat surprised, not because he was afraid of the little Emperor finding out, but rather, he was curious about how the little Emperor ca to know.
Even now, his power was enough to control the entire Imperial Palace, but matters outside were probably not within her jurisdiction, right?
“Hey, I was so busy yesterday that I forgot about this.
They did send quite a lot of silver, but I didn’t take a single cent of it; it all went straight to the Ministry of Industry.
Moreover, the money was used for a good cause, I had a plan.
I’m going to use this money to train professional technical personnel for us.
Also, the things I want to do next will also need financial support.
However, I felt embarrassed to ask you for the money, so I figured out a solution myself.
I know I am capable, but there’s no need to thank .
Otherwise, I’d be worried that I’d beco arrogant.”
The little Emperor originally intended to use this to knock Lin Yi down a peg, to stop him from daydreaming all the ti.
But, unexpectedly, after she said this, not only did Lin Yi not show the slightest bit of panic, he had the cheek to even suggest she should thank him.
This caught the little Emperor off guard.
So, after embezzling the funds, he was still thinking of ?
However, considering his consistent style of doing things, the little Emperor sowhat believed his words.
But when she rembered how Lin Yi had casually taken her Luminous Pearl during the raid on Chen Baicheng’s residence, she instantly dismissed the thought from her mind.
To say that he wasn’t after the money, she’d have to be dead not to believe that.
But she also knew that Lin Yi was truly kind to her and always considered her first in whatever he did.
This caused the little Emperor to simply shake her head and no longer dwell on it.
At this ti, the Palace Maid and eunuch responsible for the morning washing had already co in.
By then, Lin Yi had long since gotten up from the bed.
After all, sleeping in the sa blanket with the little Emperor was absolutely not sothing that could be spread around.
If it were seen by any Palace Maid or eunuch, what awaited them would be ensuring they kept their mouths completely shut.
In fact, Lin Yi didn’t need to worry about this; the one hiding on the rafters would naturally take care of such matters.
Still, Lin Yi couldn’t help admiring that individual’s resolve: despite the commotion last night, not a sound was made.
Of course, if they didn’t have such ability, they probably wouldn’t be in their current position.
After getting ready, Lin Yi followed the little Emperor to court.
The reason Lin Yi was summoned to court today was not because anything was going to happen, but because Lin Yi was now in charge of two departnts.
Moreover, these two departnts were among the Six Ministries.
Even though their responsibilities were not too heavy, the fact that they were listed among the Six Ministries ant they were still necessary.
“The Emperor has arrived…”
Accompanied by a high-pitched announcent, the young Emperor took strides into the grand hall.
Of course, at this mont, Lin Yi was not at his side.
After all, he was no longer just a eunuch by the side of the young Emperor.
Therefore, Lin Yi entered the hall along with the group of officials.
Along the way, all the officials who saw Lin Yi wore peculiar expressions on their faces.
Of course, when it ca to speaking and greeting Lin Yi, almost none of them did.
Moreover, they all deliberately maintained a certain distance, fearing to walk too close to Lin Yi lest they be seen by the two Princes.
Of course, as for the father of the Empress, he was not present here at this ti.
Following the eunuch’s call, everyone promptly quieted down, steadied their steps, and collectively greeted the young Emperor.
After all, etiquette could not be neglected.
At this mont, the young Emperor was seated at the head position, scanning the courtiers below with her gaze.
She already seed to possess significant authority.
Her feeling of holding great power was apparent, although the distance to having true control of power was still long.
“Where is Little Lin?”
As the court eting began, with everyone looking down in silence, the young Emperor turned his gaze to Lin Yi and spoke these words.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi took a step forward and then respectfully bowed to the Emperor.
“Your servant is present.”
“How is the situation with the refugees outside of the city being handled?
Is there anything inappropriate?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the situation with the refugees outside the city has stabilized.
There have been no inappropriate incidents.
In this regard, credit must also be given to the Minister of Revenue.
If it were not for the tily deploynt of grain and provisions by the Ministry of Revenue, there could well have been problems.”
After speaking, Lin Yi directly gave a bow to the Minister of Revenue beside him, expressing his gratitude.
At this, Liu Fu felt as if he were wax lting.
When he saw the Fourth Prince from the corner of his eye, noticing the dangerously somber look on his face,
he couldn’t help but feel a thump in his heart, cursing Lin Yi internally.
You damned fool, have you eaten too much and have nothing better to do than ntion ?
Aren’t you just putting on the spot?
I wasn’t sincerely trying to help you.
If it weren’t for fear of your retaliation, I would not even bother with you.
However, since Lin Yi himself had brought him up, it wasn’t right for him to remain seated and ignore him.
Thus, with no choice, he stood up, waved his hand at Lin Yi, and then turned his gaze towards the young Emperor:
“What the Ministry of Revenue did was no more than its duty.
We simply perford our responsibilities as expected; it’s nothing worth boasting about.
This servant does not dare to claim credit.”
While these words were spoken to the young Emperor, anyone with discernnt could tell that they were clearly ant for the Fourth Prince, obviously fearing a misunderstanding by the Fourth Prince.
After all, who doesn’t know that the Ministry of Revenue is the territory of the Fourth Prince.
If they were really helping the young Emperor, it would be tantamount to openly slapping the Fourth Prince’s face.
However, just at this ti, just as the young Emperor was about to open her mouth to comnd him, the Assistant Minister of Rites suddenly stepped forward:
“Reporting to Your Majesty, regarding the refugee situation, I have sothing to say.”
With those words, everyone’s eyes were suddenly fixated on this individual.
For a mont, there was a sense of anticipation for drama in everyone’s hearts.
The Ministry of Rites had recently co under the control of the young Emperor, and unexpectedly, soone chose this mont to challenge her leadership.
