Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 82: Want to Pay Respect to the Empress?

Fortunately, just as Lin Yi’s words fell, the young Emperor swiftly stood up and strode out.

One could tell from his dragon-like stride and tiger-like step that he was full of spirit at the moment.

No wonder he acted this way; after years of suppression, he was nearly on the verge of collapsing.

Now that he had turned the tables, how could this girl, barely in her twenties, not be excited?

Seeing the shocked expressions of these ministers,

Lin Yi naturally did not dare to linger and, with metaphorical grease on his heels, hurriedly followed the young Emperor.

In the Imperial Study Room, only they, Lin Yi and the young Emperor, were inside by the Emperor’s gesture.

This prompted the young Emperor, who had been holding back his excitement, to burst out in hearty laughter.

Watching the girl laugh so joyfully, Lin Yi inexplicably stepped forward and gently hugged her into his arms.

With Lin Yi’s movement, the young Emperor’s laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Not only that, his entire face was a picture of shock.

’What is this scoundrel doing? How dares he treat me this way? Does he really not fear me having him dragged out and beheaded?’

Even though he thought this in his heart, there was no resistance from his body.

And Lin Yi, without any improper movement, just held the young Emperor tightly, his heart full of pity:

"Ah, what a poor girl, but don’t worry, Brother Sun will definitely help you eliminate all obstacles."

Hearing Lin Yi’s sincere inner voice, the young Emperor leaned his head comfortably on Lin Yi’s shoulder.

Yet, just as the young Emperor was basking in this rare moment of relaxation, a subtle change took place in Lin Yi’s thoughts.

It was not just a mental shift; the young Emperor felt something prod from Lin Yi the rascal at the lower part of his abdomen.

Although it did not cause any harm, it still made the young Emperor’s body tremble.

At the same time, he pushed Lin Yi away forcefully.

Her pretty face was now flush with red.

At this moment, Lin Yi gave an awkward smile:

"Hey, I really didn’t mean that, if you must blame someone, it can only be you!"

Knowing full well Lin Yi’s shamelessness, after pushing him away, the young Emperor deliberately straightened his face and walked back to his desk.

Then he coughed lightly to steady his thoughts, and looked at Lin Yi with all seriousness as if none of what had just happened, in fact, did happen:

"Lin Yi, now that the Right Martial Guard is in our hands, how should we proceed to root out the remnants of Chen Baicheng effectively?"

Lin Yi, who had been relishing the sensation of having grasped those meteor hammers in his mind, also snapped back to reality upon hearing this and moved to sit down at the desk uninvited.

The young Emperor slightly furrowed his brows at the other’s impolite behavior.

But seeing that Lin Yi was lost in thought with a furrowed brow, the Emperor didn’t bother with him.

Since there were no outsiders here, it was fine to let Lin Yi be a little impudent.

"Your Majesty, I believe that we cannot yet say that we have completely taken control of the Right Martial Guard.

It can only be said that we caught the Right Martial Guard off guard.

As far as I know, Fan Niu may not be able to hold down those Deputy Generals.

After all, he has too few confidants.

Plus, even though the Fourth Prince cannot interfere openly, he will certainly not give up on the Right Martial Guard behind the scenes.

If all those deputies unite, Fan Niu can only be rendered powerless."

"At that time, control over the Right Martial Guard will be lost once again."

The young Emperor also furrowed his brows at this statement.

Fortunately, Lin Yi did not beat about the bush, and continued directly:

"So the first thing we need to do now is to seize the moment before they react and cut the Gordian knot swiftly.

Your Majesty still commands high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of the Right Martial Guard, so now is the time to arrest all those threatening Deputy Generals."

"But none of them have erred, and if we arrest them all, it will inevitably give the Fourth Imperial Uncle and the Sixth Imperial Uncle fodder for criticism.

They will then spread rumors of my incompetence and narrow-mindedness, unable to tolerate even loyal ministers who have surrendered."

The young Emperor’s concern was not unfounded; the You Country was not just about these small Martial Guards.

Take the city outskirts, for example, where there are twenty thousand soldiers of the Imperial Camp protecting the Capital City.

This force is currently controlled by the Sixth Prince.

If vilified by the two Princes, the young Emperor will be left with a reputation for incompetence in the hearts of many soldiers.

"This is indeed a critical consideration. However, we needn’t arrest them all or relieve them of their duties to purge them.

We just need to make them move.

Since the Left and Right Martial Guards, as well as the Imperial Guards, are all under Your Majesty’s command,

it wouldn’t be a problem to have the officers rotate and interact with each other to foster silent understanding and coordination, right?"

At these words, the young Emperor’s eyes instantly brightened:

"What a rotation, just scattering them into the other two Guards, and then wouldn’t they all be at my mercy? novelbuddy.cσ๓

Hehe, Lin Yi, you truly have a sharp mind."

As a result, not only did the Left and Right Martial Guards instantly reverse the situation, but the Imperial Guards were also brought into the mix.

Who could raise any objections now?

Add to that, the Left Martial Guard has always been in General Mu’s hands, who now, even more so as the royal father-in-law, naturally stands entirely on our side.

The Imperial Guards, needless to say, have always been managed by the Shadow Guard.

It is the force most loyal to me in the You Country.

Taking two Guards to take over the Right Martial Guard, I would be able to firmly grasp it in my hands.

And then, without delay, actions were taken.

The young Emperor immediately summoned General Mu to the Imperial Study Room to inquire about a list of officers from the Left Martial Guard.

He also shared his plans with the general.

This naturally made General Mu’s eyes light up, his face full of gratified expression.

To be honest, General Mu was quite surprised; he did not expect that Your Majesty had not only taken down Chen Baicheng but also planned all the subsequent steps.

It seems that Your Majesty has been enduring in silence all this time, finally ready to erupt.

With such scheming, and with the old man’s full support, it should not be too long before Your Majesty takes full control.

"Your Majesty, now that we have discussed official matters, I have a small personal request, and I hope for Your Majesty’s grace."

After preparing the list for the young Emperor, General Mu unexpectedly showed a rare moment of hesitance.

The young Emperor, who was looking down at the list, paused, raising his head to look at General Mu with a puzzled face. Putting the list down, he then spoke earnestly:

"General, speak your mind without hesitation. As long as it is within my power, I will not shirk."

"Uh, it’s nothing major, it’s just that this old servant wishes to pay his respects to the Empress..."
