Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 461 The Queen's Trouble
They were all ready to praise Chen Yi for being extremely witty and outspoken against the Confucians, but it turned out that the Empress was so amazing.

However, Chen Yi still patiently explained to the Empress what happened to him during his stay in the Great Liao Kingdom.

Everyone heard how Chen Yi solved the sudden refugee crisis, and how he found out the spies of Phnom Penh and wiped them all out.

They were all straight-up fun, and loudly praised Chen Yi for his unparalleled wit.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry heard that Chen Yi modified the bathtub and heated the water with quicklime, so he silently remembered these methods in his heart.

Shoufu even nodded frequently, with a look of successor on his face.

And the queen's eyes were full of splendor when she heard it.

"Your Majesty, this is the reason why I came back late. Do you have any questions, Your Majesty?"

"Hmph, count you through."

The empress snorted and stopped mentioning the matter.

After everyone went down to court, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry took Chen Yi to a restaurant for a drink.

Although Chen Yi had already talked about the affairs in the Daliao Kingdom just now, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry focused on the tools used by Chen Yi, but Chen Yi only mentioned them slightly, which made the Minister of the Ministry of Industry feel itchy Unbearable.

So he pulled Chen Yi to explain the principles and structures of those things to him.

Chen Yi also knew everything, and the two drank and chatted happily.

The minister of the Ministry of punishment happened to come over halfway and joined in.

While Chen Yi and the others were having fun, the Empress was restless in her room.

She was sitting on a chair in the study with a book in her hand, but her eyes drifted there.

After being absent-minded for a while, he put down the book and walked around the room, not knowing what he was thinking.

Eunuch Meng, who was standing by the side, looked puzzled, not knowing what happened to his empress.

Originally thought that the empress would return to normal after Chen Yi came back, but it turned out that she was still not normal.

"Is there something bothering your majesty, I wonder if the old slave can help your majesty?"

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing. I'm thinking about the future development of Dawu Kingdom."

The empress said casually after hearing what Eunuch Meng said.

"It's a great fortune for my country that your majesty is so worried about state affairs, but if your majesty is troubled, why don't you discuss it with Lord Chen?"

When the empress heard Chen Yi's name, she thought of something, blushed, and said to Eunuch Meng.

"Well, what you said is reasonable. Chen Yi is indeed very talented, and he must have a good strategy for governing the country. Then go and call him."

Eunuch Meng was a little surprised that the empress praised Chen Yi so frankly today, whereas in the past she always had to speak harshly about Chen Yi.

But Eunuch Meng went out of the palace to look for Chen Yi without thinking too much.

Chen Yi and his old acquaintances chatted happily, drinking from morning to afternoon.

Chen Yi, who had just returned home from the restaurant, found that Eunuch Meng was at his home.

"What's the matter with Mr. Meng?"

"Master Chen, the empress invites you into the palace and wants to discuss with you how to govern the country."

Hearing the words was like thunder rolling in Chen Yi's heart.

The Empress wants to discuss with me how to govern the country?
Has she finally transitioned?
Chen Yi suddenly wanted to cry, he felt that his efforts had finally paid off.

Regardless of the alcohol smell on his body, he hurriedly followed Eunuch Meng into the palace to meet the Empress.

"Your Majesty, this servant has brought Lord Chen."

The empress, who was waiting anxiously in the study, heard that Eunuch Meng had brought Chen Yi, her eyes brightened instantly.

"Bring him in!"

After the empress cleaned up her appearance a little, she asked Eunuch Meng to bring Chen Yi in.

Seeing the side face of Chen Yi entering the door, the empress felt that there was a bumping deer in her chest.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

"Chen Aiqing is exempt."

Chen Yi looked at the empress with a smile after finishing the ceremony.

"I heard that His Majesty came here to discuss the future development strategy of the Great Wu Kingdom. I am very happy."

"But why is there only the humble minister and no other adults?"

The empress looked at Chen Yi smiling at her with his handsome face. She lost her mind for a moment, and two red clouds flew over her face.

Chen Yi saw that the empress did not respond, but looked at him in a daze, her face turned red inexplicably, and she was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell, then I can come back at another time."

The empress came back to her senses, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

"Cough cough, the widow has been reading and thinking a lot these days, and suddenly I feel a little tired and lost my mind. It's not a serious problem."

"Your Majesty is working so hard to govern, why worry about the development and prosperity of our Great Wu Kingdom."

Chen Yi was really moved by the empress's words. The empress finally started to be a good emperor, as if her naughty daughter had finally become sensible.

The empress who was suddenly praised by Chen Yi seemed to have eaten honey.

He didn't expect that Chen Yi, who scolded him every day, would praise him so much for his nonsense excuse.

Although what Chen Yi said has been heard countless times from other ministers, but this is what Chen Yi said!

The empress' body was straighter, as if she had won a battle.

"I called you here this time mainly to chat casually and listen to your thoughts. It's not so restrained."

"After all, your ideas are always very novel and effective."

Chen Yi couldn't help but feel a little proud after hearing what the Empress said, and he was even more pleasing to the eyes when he looked at the Empress in front of him.

In fact, the empress is still very knowledgeable.

"Eunuch Meng, move a chair for Chen Aiqing and sit opposite the widow. We, the monarch and his ministers, can chat casually."

Eunuch Meng moved a chair for Chen Yi and placed it opposite the Empress' desk.

Chen Yi thanked Mr. Meng, and sat down under the empress' gesture.

Just as Chen Yi was about to have a grand talk with the Empress, a few pieces of paper that were pressed under the book caught Chen Yi's attention.

The empress followed Chen Yi's gaze, and immediately changed her expression.

Just when she was about to stop him, Chen Yi pulled out the pieces of paper with a livid face.

"Chen Yi, you are presumptuous, how dare you mess with my things!"

The empress yelled sternly, but Chen Yi remained indifferent, carefully reading the content on the paper.

Chen Yi's hand holding the paper trembled slightly, and the sound of kneading the paper made the empress feel more guilty.

"Fun Lord! You are so stubborn!"

A few sheets of thin paper were thrown by Chen Yi in a daze.

"At first, I thought you'd already changed your mind, and you wouldn't make any non-existent elixirs anymore."

"Eunuch Meng told me that the empress asked me to discuss the way of governing the country, I was really happy, but I didn't expect you to still be like this!"

The empress was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, and the previous charming feelings had long since disappeared.

Although there is guilt, it is more of grievance and anger.

"Chen Yi, you are scolding the widow again, I think you don't want to live anymore!"

"So what if you don't want to live, a fool like you will sooner or later destroy this great river and mountain, and I, Chen Yi, will be the only one who doesn't want to live!"

"You are too presumptuous! The widow is the empress!"

"Someone is here! Put Chen Yi in the prison for me! No one is allowed to visit!"

"If you go to the prison, you will go to the prison, hum, you faint!"

"Ahhhh-"

The empress was so angry that she grabbed everything on the table and smashed it.

Chen Yi, on the other hand, walked to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs with ease, and several guards followed helplessly, not even bothering to put on a show.
