I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 370 Isn't this just messing with people's mentality? It's like they're being tortured to death! (Please subscribe, please vote!)

"Pan Chengwu, what do you mean?"

Wei Mingde caught up with Pan Chengwu, who had left first, and gripped Pan Chengwu's arm tightly, his old eyes blazing with anger.

Treatment? The treatment is for his hair being too dark, so you asked Li Chen to prescribe two formulas to make his hair turn green, right?

You've already been cuckolded, why do you have to make me wear one too?
How will he, the patriarch, face his clan members in the future?

Pan Chengwu remained silent upon hearing this, only shaking his head with regret as he stared at Wei Mingde.

"Shut the fuck up."

Wei Mingde's face was almost distorted by his male pride.

However, he dared not shout angrily to disturb Li Chen, and only managed to squeeze out these words through gritted teeth.

He spoke these words in a voice that only he and Pan Chengwu could hear.

In other words, it means using the smallest voice to deliver the harshest words.

At this moment, he was no longer a clan leader, but a spineless man who could only watch helplessly as his wife tried to cuckold him, and he had to swallow his anger.

Who is Li Chen? How could he not know?

He knew better than anyone what was going to happen!

"Hehe, Patriarch, look at you, what's wrong with you? You're usually so mature and steady in your actions. You're not a child anymore, why are you still so upset?"

Pan Chengwu smiled and gently patted Wei Mingde's hand, which was gripping his hand. He continued earnestly, "We must prioritize the overall situation, prioritize the overall situation!"

"you"

Wei Mingde wanted to launch another attack, but the words sounded incredibly familiar.

Wasn't this what he had said to Pan Chengwu before?
I remember back then, Pan Chengwu was so furious about being cheated on that he wanted to fight Li Chen to the death, and that's exactly what he advised against it.

"I see," Wei Mingde realized.

I was wondering why you brought up my wife earlier; you just seized the opportunity to get back at me for saying that.

"Master, I'll be leaving now if there's nothing else!"

Pan Chengwu glanced at Wei Mingde's face, which looked worse than if he had eaten shit, and felt a surge of satisfaction.

You always act like you're in charge when things don't fall on your shoulders, huh?

What's the use of rushing now? I'm going to screw you over!
Pan Chengwu had only taken a couple of steps when he suddenly stopped, scratched the back of his head, and said to Wei Mingde with a embarrassed expression, "Hehe, I almost forgot."

Wei Mingde frowned, worried that Pan Chengwu might be up to something, and asked curiously, "What are you going to do now?"

Pan Chengwu shrugged and said, "His Majesty is still inside. How can we leave without permission? Patriarch, you see, I am not as good as you in my work. I am still lacking in experience. What if His Majesty comes out and finds us missing, and takes his anger out on the Wei family?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Mingde nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Pan Chengwu wasn't afraid of Li Chen taking his anger out on the Wei family; he was clearly telling Pan Mingde in broad daylight.

"Trying to hide away and avoid the trouble, huh? No way! You better not run off, kid. If His Majesty isn't there when he comes out having fun, he'll wipe out the entire Wei family!"

Wei Mingde took several deep breaths to calm his urge to strangle Pan Chengwu to death.

Of course, he would like to do so if he could win the fight.

Perhaps Pan Chengwu dared to offend Wei Mingde so much because he was currently the top fighter in the Wei family and was not afraid of Wei Mingde's retaliation.

Besides, what else does Pan Chengwu have to lose?
Before you even tried to cheat on me, I was already cheated on. There's no way to resolve this!
Wei Mingde wondered how he had never noticed how despicable this kid was before.

Isn't this just messing with people's mentality, driving them to their wits' end?

This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit!

……

Meanwhile, in the inner room of the Wei family's backyard.

"Madam, please extend your hand so that I may take your pulse."

Li Chen strode to the bedside and looked at Madam Wei lying on the bed.

Seemingly sensing Li Chen's approach, Madam Wei's face was filled with fear and panic.

Her originally fair neck and cheeks flushed crimson in an instant.

This made Li Chen secretly raise an eyebrow. She was indeed a beauty; her physical reactions were quite obvious. This kind of woman was more stimulating. Madam Wei couldn't possibly be inexperienced. Seeing Li Chen approach, and with her husband and the Wei family gone, leaving her alone to face the emperor, she instinctively began to panic.

"Your Majesty, I dare not trouble you so much. Please, Your Majesty, rescind your decree."

Madam Wei suddenly stood up, knelt on the bed, and kowtowed to Li Chen in respect.

If Li Chen truly understood medicine, he could tell at a glance that she was completely free of illness.

This is a crime of deceiving the emperor.

The Wei family were originally remnants of the previous dynasty. If they were discovered to be deceiving the emperor, Madam Wei believed that if her identity were switched with Li Chen's, she would definitely use this as an excuse to cause trouble.

If that's the case, then everything the clan did before would have been for naught.
At that time, she will become the sinner of the entire Wei family.

Her blush wasn't from embarrassment, but from fright!

"Madam Wei, what are you doing?" Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Looking down at her, one could see Madam Wei's back, which was crisscrossed with deep grooves beneath her thin veil, her waist, which could be encircled with one hand, and her shockingly rounded breasts.

A faint, lingering fragrance drifted by, unlike the sweet scent of a young girl, but possessing a unique charm.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, please forgive me for my innocence."

Madam Wei didn't dare to look up at Li Chen at that moment.

Perhaps it was because of Li Chen's overwhelming dragon might, or perhaps it was simply because he felt guilty.

"Please speak, Madam. I will forgive you."

A hint of doubt flashed across Li Chen's face and eyes.

Could it be that the Wei family has some shady dealings, and Madam Wei is willing to put righteousness before family?
"Actually, my illness is a mental one."

Madam Wei raised her head, biting her full red lips, her mind racing to find an excuse.

No matter what, she absolutely could not let Li Chen take her pulse.

She had already heard about what Li Chen had done to the women in the clan.

She knew perfectly well what His Majesty wanted by dismissing his attendants.

"Oh? What troubles you, Madam?"

Li Chen was not in a hurry; he simply stood there quietly waiting for Madam Wei to continue.

After pondering for a moment, Madam Wei seemed to have made a great decision, and took a deep breath before speaking: "Actually, my illness stems from the fact that Master Wei is unwell."

Madam Wei thought of all the excuses before finally finding one that would allow Li Chen to have his way while also freeing her from having Li Chen take her pulse.

To put it simply, she knew how to give herself away for free, but this was the first time a respectable woman like her had faced this situation, and she wasn't as experienced as others, so she hesitated and stammered.

"Is Patriarch Wei unwell?"

Li Chen was taken aback upon hearing this.

Wei Mingde is ill; what is there to forgive or not forgive?

"Yes, ever since he gave birth to Manying, his health has been declining. It's been almost ten years since we last shared a bed. My body isn't up to par in that area."

Madam Wei stared at Li Chen's face, pausing between each word, afraid of saying something wrong that might displease him.

Even though these words didn't sound like they came from a respectable woman, she had no other choice but to protect the Wei family at that moment.

She had made it very clear; how could Li Chen not understand?

In fact, not every woman can remain calm when facing Li Chen.

There was also some information error here. Lady Wei did not eat in the front courtyard. She heard from a maid that she was told to pretend to be sick so that the emperor would not find out.

That's all the information she had.

When Li Chen arrived, she felt she couldn't keep up the act any longer, so she decided to give him the gift for free to calm him down and prevent him from taking his anger out on the Wei family because of her feigned illness.

Li Chen knew from the beginning that she wasn't sick, because her complexion was so good, and she was plump and full-figured.

But Madam Wei said some strange things. Li Chen thought she had something to report, but after going around in circles, it turned out she just wanted to give it away for free!
