87: Chapter 87: Scalded Mouth 87: Chapter 87: Scalded Mouth Lin Yi also claid innocence in this matter, who asked this Ice Girl to barge into his room without even a greeting.
Then, there’s the fact that she was the first to strike at him, and only then did he respond, um, no, it was only after she took action that he retaliated with pee.
This couldn’t possibly be blad on him, right?
However, observing the situation now, it’s clear she won’t co down.
No matter how formidable she may be, she’s still a woman after all.
So, embarrassnt was inevitable.
Therefore, Lin Yi shook himself off and quickly hid.
Then he walked towards his own bed.
The next morning, Lin Yi walked out of his room with two huge dark circles under his eyes.
The sight made everyone around him utterly puzzled.
What on earth did Official Lin do last night?
By the looks of it, could it be he didn’t sleep a wink?
After letting out a big yawn, Lin Yi then cast a wary glance at the room behind him.
Although he considered himself innocent about last night’s events, the mont he closed his eyes, he could hear Ice Girl’s intention to take action against him while he was asleep echoing in his mind.
That’s what kept Lin Yi from daring to close his eyes all night.
He wanted to return to the Imperial Palace to get so good rest, but he hadn’t completed his duties yet.
The most important visit to the Right Martial Guard hadn’t taken place.
So he could only trudge on, panda-eyed, straight to the Right Martial Guard.
Due to extre fatigue, he actually fell asleep in the bumping carriage.
And he slept so soundly.
Of course, the reason for his peaceful sleep was that Ice Girl didn’t enter the carriage at all during the trip.
And Lin Yi had no idea where Ice Girl went off to.
What he didn’t know was the mont his carriage entered the gates of the Imperial City, a white figure floated away.
Shortly after, the white figure appeared inside the Imperial Study Room.
Listening to the report from the person in white, the young Emperor’s lips slightly curled.
It seed that little Lin Yi managed quite smoothly this ti.
“Alright, I understand everything.
But this trip to the Right Martial Guard may not go that smoothly, so you should personally take a trip there.
Rember, ensure his complete safety!”
“Yes!”
As the Emperor’s voice fell, the person in white slightly bowed and prepared to leave.
Just at that mont, the Emperor’s voice stopped her suddenly:
“Wait, why do I sll sothing strange on you?
Hmm?
What’s this on your clothes?”
When his gaze fell onto the person in white, he imdiately noticed a faint yellow stain stretching from her chest to the hem of her garnt.
If Lin Yi were here, he would doubtlessly exclaim, ‘What a beautiful pale yellow dress’.
But upon hearing this, the person in white was montarily stunned, and a faint blush erged on her usually expressionless face.
However, it was quickly concealed, and her expression returned to its usual blank state:
“Your Majesty, it’s…
Eunuch Lin’s pee…”
This statent instantly made the Emperor’s eyes widen.
What followed was the person in white’s impassive recounting of the events.
After hearing about how the scoundrel stayed awake all night for fear of retaliation, even the Emperor couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the sa ti.
Although that guy was a bit of a rascal, truth be told, he really didn’t bear much responsibility for this incident.
The little Emperor still felt indignant when looking at those yellow stains.
Such a profligate, never ceasing to attract trouble.
In such a short span of ti, not only had he laid his hands on my Empress, but even the court lady at the Empress’s side has been subdued by him.
That’s not all; this scoundrel also often dares to slight with subtle gestures.
Now, just after a night out, he’s gone and urinated on one of his own servants.
With no other choice, I waved him off, signaling him to dismiss himself.
Now, let’s talk about Lin Yi’s side of things.
His situation at the Right Martial Guard was indeed far from smooth.
When the various commanders heard that they would be reassigned to the remaining two Guard divisions, nearly half of them disagreed.
After all, they were well aware of what their fate would be if they were reassigned.
Doubtless, they would be marginalized.
In such a case, one could really say that their prospects were bleak.
But they had overlooked one vital point: the current head of the Right Martial Guard was no longer Chen Baicheng.
It was Fan Niu, loyal to the Emperor himself.
So, when there were objections, Fan Niu directly ordered the dissenters to be dragged out and beheaded in front of the entire Right Martial Guard.
The reason given was entirely justifiable, too: disobeying the Emperor’s command.
What a joke – was the command, personally issued by the Emperor himself, not to be followed?
Do they not understand such a simple principle?
Previously, Chen Baicheng had suppressed the little Emperor, which led them to harbor thoughts of questioning imperial authority.
But now the Right Martial Guard had undergone a complete transformation.
Especially the soldiers at the bottom, they now pledged allegiance only to the Emperor and Lin Yi.
After confiscating Chen Baicheng’s property, the Emperor not only rewarded them with silver but also settled all the outstanding salary.
To compensate for the delayed salary issue, the Emperor even handed out an additional three months’ worth of salary to each of them.
How could this not endear him to these soldiers?
As for why the little Emperor would do such a thing, amassing a significant sum of silver coin from confiscations was one reason; the most critical reason was what Lin Yi had suggested.
Lin Yi had said, if soldiers from other armies heard that ever since the Right Martial Guard had returned to the Emperor’s control, not only was their salary no longer in arrears, but they were also given extra payouts.
In fact, each person’s reward was more than what they would receive in a year’s salary.
What would they think then?
Obviously, they would compare it with their current treatnt.
This would plant a seed in their minds.
Once that seed took root, it would be the ti for His Majesty to reclaim all military power.
In short, with Fan Niu’s decisive action, the effect was imdiate.
Those who had previously harbored any complaints promptly began to pack their belongings to leave.
No joke, when compared with one’s future prospects, their own heads were far more important.
Cutting the Gordian knot, with Lin Yi’s toil over the past two days, the order was issued quickly, and implented even faster.
By evening of the sa day, the personnel reassignnt was completed.
Capital City, Prince Yong’an Mansion.
The Fourth Prince, dressed in his black python robe, held his teacup sipping ginger tea, all the while frowning as he listened to the reports from his servant.
When the servant finished reporting, the Fourth Prince thought deeply with a frown, all while subconsciously bringing the teacup to his lips for a sip.
However, he forgot that the tea in the cup had just been boiled.
The boiling liquid made the Fourth Prince’s entire body shudder instantly, and the teacup was thrown onto the ground from his hands.
Right after, an extrely furious voice rang out:
“Damn servant, how dare you serve tea that’s so scalding hot?
Drag him out and behead him!”
…End of chapter…
