After failing the imperial examination, he began to wield immense power after entering the palace!

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Li Fan sighed, looking quite regretful.

He grabbed the whip tip tied to Princess Anle's wrist, holding it in his hand like a disobedient little colt, and turned to walk towards the door.

"If the princess is unwilling to give it, then I will have no choice but to take you out like this."

"you!"

Princess Anle stumbled and almost fell as Li Fan pulled her.

At that moment, she truly panicked.

She knew, of course, that this lackey wouldn't dare actually drag her out; he was just threatening her.

But what if he really goes crazy?

If those hundreds of Imperial Guards outside see her like this, her reputation will be completely ruined.

"Stop! Untie the whip, and I, the princess... will take it off for you."

Li Fan stopped, turned around to look at her, and smiled.

"No need to trouble the princess, I can do it myself."

Princess Anle was so angry that she couldn't speak.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She couldn't confront him head-on now; that lackey wasn't afraid of her at all.

Once I've escaped and returned to the palace, I have a hundred ways to kill that bastard!

"what ever."

She gritted her teeth, turned around, and sat down in the chair.

As soon as I sat down, a burning pain shot through my buttocks.

Princess Anle endured it, remaining silent, but gripping the armrests of the chair tightly with her fingers, and turning her head away.

However, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes...

"Whoosh!"

Li Fan squatted down.

He first grasped Princess Anle's right foot, and just as he bent down to remove her embroidered shoe...

Princess Anle suddenly moved.

With her bound hands raised high, she slammed them down hard on Li Fan's head with all her might!

If that hits hard, it'll smash him to bits.

"Bang!"

Li Fan didn't even look up.

One hand easily blocked her attack.

At the same time, he pulled the whip with all five fingers and yanked it down sharply.

"what!"

Princess Anle exclaimed in surprise.

She lost her balance, her upper body lurched forward, and she landed heavily on Li Fan's shoulder.

The two full, soft mounds of flesh pressed right against his shoulders, creating a deep cleavage that was dazzlingly white through the slightly open collar.

"Princess, you're being naughty."

Li Fan's voice came down from above her head, tinged with a hint of mockery.

Princess Anle was both ashamed and angry, and struggled desperately.

However, her hands were tied, her upper body was being pushed against his shoulders, and her legs were kicking wildly in the air, but she couldn't break free.

She hadn't expected this lackey to react so quickly.

"Son of a bitch!"

"Don't move."

Li Fan said calmly, "If you move again, I'll carry the princess out."

Princess Anle immediately stopped moving.

She bit her lip in resentment and turned her head away from him.

next second.

Li Fan placed one hand on Princess Anle's back.

With her other hand, she deftly removed her gold-embroidered shoes, revealing her slender feet encased in white silk stockings.

The silk stockings were as thin as cicada wings, covering delicate toes, and the pale pink nail polish on the toenails was faintly visible.

"Hiss~"

When Princess Anle felt the socks being peeled off her feet, her toes involuntarily curled up.

Her pinkish-white toes brushed against his palm before quickly retracting.

then.

Li Fan folded the white stocking and stuffed it into his pocket.

He released Princess Anle and took two steps back.

"Princess, I have to go out on an errand now."

"If I hear the princess shouting and giving orders to the Imperial Guards outside, I'll take this sock out."

"Then people outside will wonder, 'How come Princess Anle's socks are in the hands of a lowly eunuch?'"

"What happened in all of this?"

Princess Anle's face turned so red it was almost bleeding.

She opened her mouth, wanting to curse him, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a single word.

"You win!"

Li Fan smiled and stopped looking at her, opened the door, and strode out.

The moment the door closed, Princess Anle heard him outside instruct, "Everyone, step back and let the princess have some peace and quiet."

Then, the footsteps faded into the distance.

Princess Anle sat in the chair, her whole body trembling.

She glanced down at herself; her right foot was bare, her fair toes touching the cold brick floor, while her left foot was still wearing an embroidered shoe.

But her red dress was wrinkled, her hair was disheveled, and her hairpin was askew...

Embarrassed.

She had never been so disheveled.

"Bang!"

Princess Anle kicked over a chair next to her, making a loud noise.

"You filthy lackey! This princess will never let you get away with this!"

"You just wait! You just wait, you princess!"

In a couple of days, my mother will be holding a flower-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden, and all the concubines in the harem will be there.

That lackey will surely come with Consort Xie.

This time, he must be severely punished!

……

After Li Fan walked out, Zhang Miaozhen looked at him with a strange expression.

She is a peak fourth-rank martial artist with hearing far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Therefore, she heard all the noises inside the room—the sound of whips, muffled groans, and chairs falling over.

Including what Li Fan said.

She was shocked. This eunuch Gao was incredibly audacious to hit Princess Anle and even take off her socks.

Any one of these items would be a capital offense punishable by a thousand cuts!

"Grandpa Gao, are you...are you alright?"

Li Fan said with a smile, "It's alright, let's go. The princess has a very good temper."

"Alright, it's time to take the evidence and go back to report."

Zhang Miaozhen's lips twitched when she heard Li Fan say that.

Just now, Princess Anle was kicking chairs and throwing things around inside, as if she wanted to tear the whole room apart.

That's called having a good temper?

This eunuch Gao's ability to lie through his teeth is even better than his ability to solve cases!

A while later.

As Li Fan walked out of the Cao residence, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man in a python robe standing at the entrance.

He bore a resemblance to the Chu Emperor in some features, but lacked the emperor's majesty and possessed more of the arrogance of a noble young master.

He was standing next to Cao Mo, listening to Cao Mo say something in a low voice.

And this time.

When Cao Mo saw Li Fan, his face immediately revealed a deep resentment and malice:

"Your Majesty, it was that eunuch who led his men to smash up my residence! They've completely broken the law!"

"I am at least a third-rank official appointed by the imperial court. What right does he, a mere eunuch, have?"

The King of Wei frowned slightly, glanced at Li Fan, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. "Consort Xie's dog?"

"Prefect Cao, rest assured, today's matter is definitely a misunderstanding."

"I will definitely not stand idly by and will help you, so don't worry."

In recent years, he has been trying to win over the powerful families in Guanzhong.

The Liu family of Hedong and the Cao family of Jingzhao, these powerful clans in Guanzhong, are important bargaining chips for my future struggle for the throne. I must not let a mere eunuch like Consort Xie take them away.

Seeing this, a soldier from the Imperial Guard suddenly lowered his voice and said to Li Fan:

"Your Excellency, Prince Wei has arrived."

Li Fan's heart skipped a beat.

The Chu Emperor has no sons, so who will inherit the throne?

Either he would be adopted by a member of the royal family, or the throne would be passed down from brother to brother, and the throne would be passed to the King of Wei.

Many ministers in the court have already secretly sided with the Prince of Wei, wanting to make him the Crown Prince.

In a sense, the King of Wei was also Consort Xie's enemy.

When Cao Mo saw his son being dragged out like a dead dog, his crotch soaked, his eyes widened in fury.

"Gao Jin! You castrated dog! What evidence have you found in this official residence?"

"If you don't have it, I certainly won't let you go!"

"How dare you humiliate me! I will repay you a hundredfold and will not let you off lightly!"
