The genius doctor and the crazy concubine are rebellious, and the regent seduces her to no end

Along the way, Lin Xilan was absent-minded. Even when she arrived in front of the emperor, she still looked like she was in a trance. She frowned when she saw the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom.

The other person was wearing a shining dragon robe that almost blinded her eyes.

The corners of Lin Xilan's mouth twitched.

The moment she raised her eyes, she met his burning gaze.

Just now, the other party was actually looking at me the whole time. This... is really hard to get used to...

Lin Xilan stepped forward and quickly saluted the emperor.

"My dear." Murong Yu's eyes were always on her and he didn't look away.

He smiled.

He knocked on the table, his eyes deep and profound: "My dear, you look like you are worried. Even when you are serving me, you are distracted! Tell me, what is it that makes you so upset? If I can solve it, I will help you solve it immediately."

what?

The man's deep voice fell into her ears, making her feel a little embarrassed.

Is the expression on her face so obvious?

How could it be so easily discovered by the current emperor?

This is not her style!

Lin Xilan suddenly came to her senses and calmed down.

"I am wrong!" She immediately knelt on the ground and apologized respectfully.

Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground in a graceful posture, a hint of trance flashed across the emperor's eyes for a moment, and he seemed to have returned to a long time ago.

When I first met Xiao Wujiu.

At that time, the man was dressed in white with cranes embroidered on his sleeves. He knelt in the Golden Palace and reported to his royal brother in a gentle voice, as beautiful as orchids, jade pines, and clear cypresses on a cliff.

If you look closely, Lin Xilan and Xiao Wujiu don't actually look alike.

Compared to Xiao Wujiu's androgynous elegance, she was actually more bright and beautiful, like a magnolia tree in the mountains, quiet, fragrant, and breathtaking.

But here's the strange thing.

——They are obviously two completely different people, so why does he always see overlapping shadows of Xiao Wujiu in Lin Xilan?

and.

But he had never felt this way about his Concubine Xiao.

This puzzled him a lot.

The emperor frowned. He didn't understand why this happened.

"I have no worries, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about me."

"I see... Never mind, get up."

He came to his senses.

next second.

His face turned stern.

With a cold snort, he said calmly, "I heard that you and the prince have already made an engagement. I guess you must have been so happy these days that you couldn't sleep all night, and you are in a trance today!"

"That's understandable. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has so many beauties in his mansion, but no one has ever made a marriage contract with him. You are an exception."

"I guess he really likes you because he can take care of you like this."

Say it.

He sighed softly, and his gaze, which had just moved away, fell on Lin Xilan again.

His eyes looked up and down.

It seemed to penetrate her soul.

The engagement of Lin Xilan and Murong Xuan has long been a hot topic in the capital.

No matter how much Murong Yu wanted the female official in front of him, he really couldn't just snatch her away... Alas!

He knew his nephew's character very well. Who knew he would blossom one day? But if this person was the one he liked, then he would have a little...

His eyes dimmed, and he thought:

If it was Lady Zhao, then he could still understand it. This woman was not only beautiful, but most importantly... she was able to look exactly like that man!

He looked at Lin Xilan meaningfully, "But, things never go as planned. Xuan has always been a playboy. My dear, you'd better not place too much hope on him!"

joke!

It would be strange if she could place her hopes on Murong Xuan!

She smiled slightly, complaining in her heart, but her face was respectful: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

The duties of a lady-in-waiting before the emperor were actually very leisurely. She just had to stay before the emperor, sometimes reading memorials to the emperor, and most of the time she was resting alone.

It's boring to the point of being annoying.

but!

Murong Yu put down what he was holding and threw the memorial on the table. "What a Jiangzhou Zuoshi! In just one year, he embezzled so much money! The salary from my Southern Kingdom actually allowed him to develop such a big appetite!"

"He's so brave!"

"Does he really think that I can't do anything to him? How dare he be so fearless. Damn it, it's really too damned!!!"

Murong Yu was furious.

After saying that, his gaze actually fell on Lin Xilan.

"My dear, please take a look at this memorial, just take a look!" He looked so angry that it was really a bit scary.

After saying that, Emperor Murong Xuan threw a memorial in front of Lin Xilan.

Lin Xilan picked up the memorial, opened it and took a look.

Soon, she knew why the other party was so angry.

The corners of her mouth twitched.

In my heart, I silently sentenced the protagonist in the memorial to death.

However, it cannot be implemented immediately.

"My dear, what did you say?" The emperor's voice sounded again, and he looked at the other's face, thoughtfully.

Lin Xilan thought for a while, and then slowly said, "Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of corruption and bribery, but corruption affects the entire body. If Your Majesty is unwilling to make a big move, perhaps you can only kill a chicken to scare the monkey."

"How can we eliminate these corrupt officials in the smallest possible way?" The emperor's eyes were immediately filled with admiration.

"It's hard."

She had experience with these things in her previous life. "The South is rich, so greedy people naturally grow up. Officials protect each other. If we have to deal with it thoroughly, it will inevitably hurt our bones and damage our vitality."

after all.

There are so many nobles in the South!

Moreover, those nobles are all in groups, and the various forces in my court are quite complicated. It is no exaggeration to say that if one moves a single branch, the entire body will be affected.

Since ancient times.

The art of ruling is all about balancing the pros and cons.

and.

The Southern Country, which is rotten to the core, needs to make a trade-off!

Murong Yu of course knew all this, and his expression became even gloomier.

He rubbed his frowning brows with his hands, sighed deeply, and then said, "So, in your opinion, what is the best way to deal with it? Hmm?"

This is a test for her!

Lin Xilan narrowed her eyes.

From ancient times to the present, corruption has always been a thorny problem for dynasties. In the previous dynasties, when corruption was thoroughly investigated, corrupt officials and nobles joined forces to overthrow them!

but.

She said calmly, "Executing them would be a huge loss, so we can only kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. First, find the one who embezzled the most, confiscate his property and exterminate his clan. Then, follow the example of the last emperor, who gave up his military power over a cup of wine, and ask them to donate most of the money they embezzled in the name of fundraising. If they still want to live, they will naturally donate it."

Releasing military power over a cup of wine is a very typical story, and it is indeed a very good solution.

and.

Her suggestion really hit the emperor's mind.

Murong Yu admired the woman in front of him even more!

so?
