Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 107: The Emperor is a Little Fox (Third Update Today)

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The Emperor is a Little Fox (Third Update Today)

However, after being kicked, that fellow just chuckled and then scampered off to distribute the soup.

Seeing this, Lin Yi could only helplessly smile and shake his head, then he resumed his patrol.

After strolling around and observing that everything seemed normal, Lin Yi handed over his duties to his assistant and then turned back towards the Imperial Palace.

In the Imperial Study Room, the little Emperor was overjoyed.

Everything that happened today made him almost want to shout out loud.

And all of this smooth sailing was thanks to that detestable libertine.

Without that fellow, the Emperor today might have suffered a great loss.

Thinking of Lin Yi, the image of that wily fellow unexpectedly surfaced in the little Emperor’s mind.

That guy, always by his side, constantly thinking about how to take advantage of him.

It’s truly baffling how such a person can be so capable.

But truth be told, that guy once again helped him out of a big predicament today.

Reflecting on this, the little Emperor’s heart couldn’t help but contemplate how to reward this fellow.

Promotion?

But if the rank is too high, he will not stay by your side.

Moreover, what would happen to his own Imperial Palace if that fellow were to leave?

And how to manage his own Harem?

After much contemplation, an utterly absurd idea popped into the little Emperor’s head.

"Otherwise, how about I have him sire a Prince for me?"

Yet as soon as this thought emerged, he quickly shook his head and tossed it aside; such an idea was simply too embarrassing, causing the little Emperor’s face to instantly flush red.

However, just at that moment, suddenly, a eunuch from outside announced that the Fourth Prince was requesting an audience.

This immediately caused the Emperor to cast aside all those miscellaneous thoughts.

At the same time, the little Emperor’s mind was quickly speculating about the purpose of the Fourth Imperial Uncle’s visit at this time.

There was no need to think; he could guess what it was about—it must certainly concern the matter of Zhang Liang.

After all, Zhang Liang was the Minister of Revenue, managing all the finances of the court.

The loss of such a person, surely, would be a severe blow to the Fourth Imperial Uncle.

However, Lin Yi struggled to secure the current situation for the Emperor, how could he possibly hand it over to someone else with eyes wide open?

"Summon the Fourth Imperial Uncle in."

After composing himself, the little Emperor returned to the front of the desk.

He took a deep breath and then spoke to the eunuch at the door.

In a moment, the Fourth Prince, adorned in a black Python Robe, stepped in.

"This subject, greets Your Majesty."

Regardless of anything, the Emperor is the highest authority; even if it’s his uncle holding great power, one must still bow and pay respects when facing the Emperor.

Especially when now, they were in the little Emperor’s own territory.

As the little Emperor heard this voice, he leisurely put down the scroll in his hands, then lifted his eyes to look at the Fourth Prince bowing before him.

He then immediately stood up with a beaming smile and spoke to the Fourth Prince:

"Oh, it is the Fourth Imperial Uncle who has come, no need for such grand courtesy, quickly seat the Fourth Imperial Uncle."

After a small eunuch moved a small brocade stool to the side, Prince Siwang expressed his thanks before sitting down. However, at this moment, the young Emperor directly started playing dumb:

"Fourth Imperial Uncle is always busy with official duties, may I know what brings you to visit Your Majesty?

Is it about the disaster relief matter?

Indeed, Anqing Prefecture is currently suffering from a severe famine, and it truly requires thorough discussion."

Hearing the young Emperor beat around the bush without talking about the real issue, a curse towards the cunning fox slipped silently in the Fourth Prince’s heart.

It seems this kid has really grown his wings and now dares to directly confront me.

It’s all because I didn’t take him seriously in the beginning. If I had considered him a dish to be taken out quietly, or had acted against him sooner, perhaps the current situation would have been different.

Absolutely never would I let him ride over me and triumphantly flaunt his power.

In a moment, Prince Siwang truly regretted not acting sooner, but by now, it was already too late to say anything.

Seeing the young Emperor deliberately not getting to the point, Prince Siwang had no choice but to speak helplessly: novelbuddy.cσ๓

"Your Majesty, the discussions about the disaster relief at the court have almost concluded, and everything Your Majesty has done is very appropriate, making me feel inadequate.

Today, I come here not to talk about this matter. My visit concerns Minister of Revenue Zhang Liang."

Just as expected, he came for the position of the Minister of Revenue.

Of course, the young Emperor had long understood this in his heart.

However, since the other party had directly brought it up, the young Emperor did not beat around the bush either but immediately wore a serious expression upon hearing these words:

"Hmph, this fellow shows no respect for the Emperor, daring to be so confrontational with me. How can I keep him?

Fourth Imperial Uncle, I understand your intention in coming here.

Perhaps you think that I dealt with him too lightly?

After all, he showed contempt for the entire Imperial Family’s face.

Indeed, he deserves a heavier punishment, and by rights, even execution would not be excessive.

But considering his old age, and though having no major achievements, he has still labored hard, hence I only ordered him to retire and return home.

As for the matter of increasing the punishment, I’m afraid Fourth Imperial Uncle would disagree with me.

If I were to punish him too severely, it might grieve the hearts of the other officials."

However, upon hearing these words, Prince Siwang almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, barely stopping himself from shouting in rage.

A mouthful of old blood was stuck in his chest, on the verge of spurting out.

You crafty young Emperor, fully aware of my purpose, you have decided to ignore the issue entirely, turning it around to slap my face severely instead.

Now that the young Emperor has made his stance so clear, whatever he says has become irrelevant.

At the same time, he silently resented Zhang Liang for his reckless actions.

How has this situation arisen, and what should I do now?

But of course, Prince Siwang would not just accept this easily. Since he could not protect Zhang Liang anymore, he might as well consider doing a favor for the young Emperor.

Yet, as for the position of Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Revenue, he was absolutely unwilling to give it up.

Without Zhang Liang, he could arrange for another person to take the position, as long as that person was not aligned with the Emperor.
