Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

Cheng Fu felt uneasy as he listened to the emperor's words.

It would have been fine if the emperor knew about the trouble his son had caused, but how come he also knew so much about what he did in private?

Could it be that there is a traitor?

He lowered his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.

If he could get out alive, he would definitely investigate thoroughly.

Only when he saw the emperor put down the teacup in his hand did he look very terrified.

"Your Majesty, it's unjust."

"Those salt fields were bought by common people with their own money. How can they be seized by force?"

"Then the collusion with officials is even more absurd. Someone must have taken advantage of my wealth and power and deliberately done something bad for me."

"Your Majesty, please understand."

The emperor said "Oh?" and continued, "Then your son raped a woman in the street, right?"

"He's so arrogant in Kyoto. If he were in Luoning Prefecture, he would be even more lawless."

Cheng Fu crawled on the ground, shouting "it's unfair".

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. The second young lady of the Luo family and my son are in love with each other."

"It was just a minor altercation that attracted the attention of passers-by."

"Who knew that he would be kicked unconscious by a nosy teenager."

"I and my son are really wronged."

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

His fingers stroked the edge of the teacup, "Are you two in love?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can call the second young lady of the Luo family and ask her and you will know the answer."

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly.

With a chuckle, "Since you two love each other, I will make the decision. From today on, the second young lady of the Luo family will be yours."

Since Luo Mushi was willing to degenerate for money, he didn't mind fulfilling his wish.

Cheng Fu was delighted. If he could get the imperial edict granting marriage from His Majesty, he could also do something with it.

There was an unconcealable anticipation in his eyes.

The emperor naturally understood what he meant, and his eyes turned slightly cold.

Manager Zhao immediately rebuked him, "Cheng Fu, why are you still standing there? Isn't this instruction enough? What are you waiting for? Why don't you thank me?"

Cheng Fu immediately realized that the emperor was humiliating Luo Mushi.

He had his mind calculated. Now that he had been targeted by the emperor, he had to obey the emperor's wishes.

He kowtowed immediately to express his gratitude.

The emperor waved his hand and said to him, "Now that this matter is over, let's talk about business."

"I heard that your Cheng family's caravans are all over the world. I have a business deal. I wonder if you are willing to do it."

Cheng Fu agreed without asking any questions, "I am loyal to Dayan. If Your Majesty has any instructions, just tell me directly."

"How dare I ask for your Majesty's money?"

The emperor smiled softly and said, "Then the people of the world will not accuse me of oppressing merchants."

Cheng Fu said repeatedly: "I volunteered. I don't ask for wealth. I just hope that Your Majesty can send Doctor Shen to check on my son."

"My son hasn't woken up yet, and I'm really worried. As long as Your Majesty can ask Lord Shen to save my son's life, I think it's worth it."

The emperor smiled and said, "I will ask Shen Xi to go back with you to have a look later."

"My request is not much, just that you can take the newspapers with the caravan to sell them in various places."

"Don't even think about selling it at a high price. The price is printed on the newspaper. If I find out, you know what the consequences will be."

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Daddy, can I come in?"

When the emperor heard Lin Shu's voice, his eyes softened immediately.

"Fubao, come in."

Lin Shu stepped over the threshold with his short legs and ran towards the emperor.

"Daddy, is it Fubao who has made you suffer?"

Lin Shu hugged the emperor's thigh with an apologetic look on his face, glancing at Cheng Fu from time to time.

"Daddy, who is he?"

The emperor picked up Lin Shu, let her sit on his lap, and said, "Cheng Fu, the richest man in Dayan."

When Lin Shu heard this, he was stunned.

[Isn’t this guy the heroine’s adoptive father? ]

[It was this guy who gave the heroine a lot of help, which made the heroine's power grow stronger and stronger, and finally she and the hero destroyed Dayan together. ]

[I don't know if he has adopted the heroine now. 】

The emperor's expression remained unchanged, but he was thinking in his mind.

When this guy finds the so-called heroine, he can just send someone to kill her.

He needs someone to keep an eye on him.

The emperor touched Lin Shu's head, looked at Cheng Fu with a loving expression.

"Let's continue."

"Secondly, I know that you have been doing large-scale business with Dilan Northern Frontier."

When Cheng Fu heard this, his legs suddenly went limp.

The emperor laughed and asked Butler Zhao to help the man up.

"I just happen to be planning to make some money from Dilan and Northern Frontier. It's only a matter of time before trade is restored."

"As long as you can complete the tasks I have assigned you, I will treat it as a business you started after the start of trade."

When Cheng Fu heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor to apologize and show his loyalty.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what you want me to do?"

The emperor raised his lips and said, "Collect a lot of wool. We'll take as much as you can."

Cheng Fu was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to ask more questions.

Lin Shu was a little surprised. It was winter when she came back from Songfeng Town, so she changed the process of making woolen sweaters and had the corresponding mechanical drawings.

When he heard that the emperor was going to start collecting wool in large quantities, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

[Could it be that Dad has developed this machine? ]

[How is this electricity solved? ]

Lin Shu was completely bewildered and stared at the emperor in a daze.

The emperor looked at Lin Shu's shocked expression and laughed in his heart. He continued to say to Cheng Fu: "It may be possible."

Cheng Fu kept saying, "Your Majesty's orders, I can definitely do it."

The emperor nodded and said, "Go down. Someone will take you to find Shen Xi."

Only after everyone left did Lin Shu end her shocked expression.

"Dad, he is not a good person."

"His son is not a good person either."

"Neither does my daughter!"

Lin Shu looked at the emperor with disapproval.

"They will bring disaster to Dayan."

The emperor asked with great interest: "Oh? How did Fubao know that? Did the gods tell you?"

Lin Shu snorted, "I dreamed about it. The gods in the dream told me!"

"If Daddy doesn't deal with them, Fubao will never talk to you again."

After saying this, he rolled over and slid down from the emperor's legs.

Standing opposite the emperor with her hands on her hips.

His cheeks puffed up with anger.

The emperor laughed heartily and stood up and squatted in front of Lin Shu.

"Daddy didn't say he wouldn't deal with him. Isn't he still useful now?"

Lin Shu snorted and turned his head away.

"Dad, this is raising a tiger to cause trouble!"

The emperor reached out and straightened Lin Shu's little face.

"Then why do you think even the wisest emperor would have treacherous ministers around him?"

When Lin Shu heard this, his mind quickly thought about the history books he had read, and it seemed to be true.

The emperor chuckled, "That's because it's useful."

"Since it still has value, we should make good use of it."

“When the value is used up, it’s time to harvest.”

The emperor picked up Lin Shu, sat back in his chair and continued talking.

"I sent people to investigate Cheng Fu, and basically all the bad things he did were covered up."

"Even if Dad wants to punish him, he needs evidence, right?"

Lin Shu was puzzled. "But before, Dayan did not allow the people to trade with Di Lan and Dayan, but he did it privately. Can't we chop off his head?"
