Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 73 - Strictly Investigate for Me!

73: Chapter 73 Strictly Investigate for Me!

73 -73 Strictly Investigate for Me!

With a thud, he knelt on one knee and then loudly called out:

“Your servant pays respect to Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty peace!”

It should be noted that at this time, gestures like Lin Yi’s were truly unprecedented.

Unless one had committed a grave mistake, or on special occasions, it was unnecessary to display such etiquette when meeting the Emperor.

Especially now, with the young Emperor’s weak position, there was even less need for kneeling rituals.

And now, as everyone was about to bow, they were all taken aback by Lin Yi’s actions.

Moreover, under the circumstances where the young Emperor’s face did not look good, clearly very angry, these people, following Lin Yi’s example, all knelt down on one knee and even spoke the words of paying respect to His Majesty!

This move was indeed unexpected even for the young Emperor.

However, with Lin Yi’s heartfelt thoughts ringing in her ears, she quickly regained her composure.

[Heh, in this way, I’m indeed helping you establish authority—don’t show any weakness now!]

The young Emperor naturally felt what Lin Yi had done and, after taking a deep look at him, moved and with a commanding voice, said to everyone:

“Rise, where are little Lin Zi and Fan Niu?

Lead Us to that secret chamber to have a look!”

With those words, Lin Yi internally gave the young Emperor a thumbs up.

[Not gonna lie, this little lady is quite lively, her tone is just spot on.]

The words almost caused the young Emperor to stumble and fall straight down.

This bastard, dare to call Us a ‘little lady’!

Although she didn’t know what it meant, it surely wasn’t anything nice!

Could it be this rogue was suggesting that We are old?

She glared fiercely at Lin Yi, then took the lead toward the inside.

However, when her gaze landed on the large chests in the courtyard, her eye couldn’t help but twitch uncontrollably!

Although she had received reports about the discovery of a vast amount of gold and silver treasures, she had not seen them with her own eyes, and thus had no concept of it.

Besides, since her ascension to the throne, she had never formally taken charge of the government affairs, and had thus never visited the National Treasury.

So the most money the young Emperor had ever seen was just a few hundred thousand taels in the Inner Hall.

Suddenly facing such an amount of wealth, she was truly astonished.

[Heh heh, look at this girl, shocked, isn’t she?

How about it, your brother Lin is capable, right?

When I said you’d make money, you definitely will make money!

Now your little Inner Hall probably can’t even hold all this!]

The young Emperor was really getting carried away, but thankfully Lin Yi’s somewhat playful voice pulled her back to reality.

However, as she looked towards Lin Yi, there was a somewhat indescribable feeling in her gaze.

Although the voice in this guy’s head was somewhat annoying, every word spoken was the truth.

Ever since We met this fellow, it seems he always brings unexpected developments to Us.

First, he helped Us expose those poisoned pastries, and then he settled matters with the Empress,

In the political sphere, he even helped Us win over the Right Martial Guard.

Although this fellow hasn’t refrained from taking advantages of Us…

Thinking of this, the young Emperor’s face also showed a faint blush, but fortunately, she was aware of the current situation and quickly adjusted her mood.

Under Lin Yi’s guidance, not only did the young Emperor enter that secret room, but even Fan Niu and the other generals were ushered in.

Honestly, even these old subordinates of Chen Baicheng were unaware of this secret chamber.

However, looking at the surrounding walls and other details of the chamber, they were clear that the existence of this secret chamber was definitely not short-lived.

But at this moment, the secret chamber was in a state of complete disarray.

The green stone slabs on the ground had all been overturned.

And in the middle, there were six wooden chests placed.

The lids of five of them were open, wide open.

Only one remained closed.

This naturally drew the attention of everyone present.

When their eyes fell upon the treasures of incredible value contained within those chests, everyone couldn’t help but reveal a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

At the same time, they also cursed Chen Baicheng in their minds, the man who was always so stingy towards them.

Even as his Assistant Generals who followed him, they could hardly ever glean the slightest benefit from him.

They could never have imagined that their Commander, who always cried poor, was secretly so wealthy!

Lin Yi and the young Emperor also could never have imagined that these items would turn out to be such an unexpected treasure!

It could be said that this discovery directly and indirectly brought their conflict with Chen Baicheng to the surface.

But these were minor matters, what needed to be done now was another important issue.

Once everyone had a clear view of the situation in the chamber, the young Emperor’s voice could be heard, cold as ice: freёnovelkiss.com

”Where are the items?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi directly went over, picked up two chests, and brought them before the young Emperor.

“Hiss~ This, this is…”

As these two items appeared before everyone’s eyes, all present couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

At the same time, they truly felt the extent of Chen Baicheng’s ambition!

And then there was the young Emperor.

Upon seeing these two items, his face became as solemn as water.

His eyes coldly swept over the items, and then he coldly said:

”Lin Yi, take the items with you.

Tomorrow I shall show them to the court officials, and let them see the Right Martial Guard Commander they have chosen!

Furthermore, continue the search for me.

Anyone related to this matter should be thrown into the death cell and dealt with later alongside Chen Baicheng!”

After saying this, the young Emperor’s gaze swept across everyone in the chamber, then with a flick of his sleeve, he took the lead and left the secret chamber.

And as his gaze swept over them, all the officials of the Right Martial Guard shuddered in unison.

They were truly afraid now, for if they were implicated in this affair, their entire families would be done for!

Now in their minds, they were thinking of distancing themselves from Chen Baicheng as much as possible.

Some had even made up their minds to go to the place where evidence was being collected right away to testify against Chen Baicheng’s crimes!

Perhaps only in this way could they prove their loyalty to His Majesty.

[Heh, truly worthy of the woman I admire; her expression and tone are spot on.]

The young Emperor had just stepped out of the secret chamber when he heard this thought from Lin Yi in his mind, and for some reason, felt a little delighted and quite pleased.

After the young Emperor had left, Lin Yi naturally followed immediately with the two chests in his arms.

Throughout the walk back to the Imperial Study Room, the young Emperor maintained a stern face, appearing as though His Majesty was in a very bad mood.

This caused everyone to tread lightly.

Of course, Lin Yi was not included in this.

Especially while observing the young Emperor walking ahead, Lin Yi couldn’t stop muttering in his heart:

[Hey, no kidding, looking at this chap, he seems like someone who could father a son…]
