You, a spoiled young master, actually became a god by investing in the Empress and getting a bargain

"Lu Boqian!"

"Look what your son has done!"

Inside the Imperial Study in the palace.

Emperor Li Qianming sat before his desk.

He threw the transfer order in his hand at Lu Boqian's feet as he entered the room.

Lu Boqian subconsciously picked up the transfer order.

After he read the information above.

A look of confusion appeared on his face.

"His Majesty!"

"I do not understand, what does this mean?"

"My son mobilized troops solely to eradicate the evil cultivators."

"Why is Your Majesty so angry?"

Bang!

"How dare you say that!"

"Not a single heretical cultivator has been killed!"

"They almost shot and killed my Princess Yunshu!"

boom!

These words were spoken.

Lu Boqian trembled all over!

He immediately knelt on the ground, his forehead instantly covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and even his voice trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

"There must be some misunderstanding. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to return and investigate, and I will certainly give Your Majesty an explanation!"

Looking at his appearance, Li Qianming couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

But his face showed feigned difficulty.

"Marquis Ningguo! It's not that I don't trust you!"

"But the impact of this incident is simply too terrible!"

"The patrol battalion openly intruded into the heart of the capital."

"Not a single heretical practitioner was caught."

"They almost accidentally killed the princess and her husband!"

"This matter has already caused a huge uproar in Beijing."

"you say!"

"How should I deal with Lu Yanzhen, who issued this transfer order!"

Lu Boqian lay prostrate on the ground, his expression turning incredibly grim.

Thoughts were rapidly changing through my mind.

"Zhen'er clearly told me that the troop deployment was only to seize that melody that could enhance one's qi and blood!"

"How did Princess Yunshu get involved!"

"And who is this prince consort?"

I've sorted out my thoughts.

Lu Boqian then spoke.

"His Majesty!"

"My son's troop deployment nearly resulted in the princess's death; he was indeed at fault."

"But...the location for capturing evil cultivators...is Jiangyun Pavilion!"

"Why would the princess appear in this place of pleasure?"

"And who is this prince consort?"

"Why have I never heard of this before?"

Upon hearing this...

Li Qianming couldn't help but curse the old fox in his heart!

However, he had anticipated this.

He immediately showed a helpless expression.

"I have cherished Yunshu since she was a child!"

"But little did we know that Yun Shu and Xiao Yunting, the heir of the Marquis of Wu's mansion, had already developed feelings for each other."

"As you, my dear minister, know, what kind of reputation Xiao Yunting has!"

"A good-for-nothing playboy!"

"Yun Shu is worried that if I find out about this, she'll break them up!"

"Therefore, he often met with Xiao Yunting at Jiangyun Pavilion to study poetry and prose."

"If this hadn't happened, I wouldn't have discovered it!"

"Now that things have come to this, Yun Shu is determined to marry no one but Xiao Yunting."

"I had no choice but to grant her wish and marry her off to Xiao Yunting!"

When Lu Boqian heard Xiao Yunting's name.

My face twitched involuntarily!

It's that kid again!

Last time at Wanchong Mountain, it was this kid who ruined my plans!

It's him again this time!

And this emperor!

Are you blatantly lying?

You yourself said he's a good-for-nothing playboy.

What's the point of studying poetry and songs!

Could you make this story any more outrageous?

Although that's what I was thinking.

But Lu Boqian dared not show the slightest disrespect at this moment.

After all, the emperor still had leverage over Lu Yan.

"I see!"

"I understand!"

"My son has committed a grave error and should be severely punished!"

"But Your Majesty, I humbly beg you to consider the great contributions my ancestors made to the Qian Yuan Royal City."

"Please, Your Majesty, spare my son's life!"

Upon hearing this...

A hint of hesitation and reluctance flashed across Li Qianming's face.

If Xiao Yunting were present at that moment, he would have seen Li Qianming's subtle expression.

You'll definitely find yourself internally complaining.

With acting skills like that, it's a waste of her talent not to make movies!

After a while.

Li Qianming finally let out a long sigh.

"Fine!"

"Considering this is his first offense, I will spare his life!"

"But while the death penalty may be avoided, punishment is inevitable!"

"Lu Yanzhen shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane, effective immediately!"

"Furthermore... this matter has had a very significant impact."

"Temporarily strip the Ningguo Marquis's residence of its control over the patrol battalion!"

"It will be temporarily placed under the command of the Marquis of Wu's residence!"

These words were spoken.

Lu Boqian also suddenly looked up at Li Qianming.

"His Majesty......"

But he hadn't finished speaking.

Then he met Li Qianming's deep, cold gaze.

What Lu Boqian originally wanted to say.

He immediately swallowed it back.

He then spoke.

"Your humble servant accepts the punishment!"

Upon hearing this...

Li Qianming then reverted to his previous feigned expression.

"Since that's the case..."

"Lord Ningguo, you may leave."

"Remember this."

"Please make sure nothing like this happens again..."

"Otherwise, I would never have handled it so lightly again!"

Lu Boqian straightened his upper body and bowed.

"Your Majesty's teachings will be firmly remembered by your subject!"

The words fell.

Li Qianming gently closed his eyes.

He then waved his hand.

Lu Boqian then left the Imperial Study!

After Lu Bo moved away.

A playful figure also emerged from behind the screen.

Who else could it be but Princess Yunshu, Li Shuyao?

Li Shuyao was pouting and walking towards Li Qianming with a wronged expression.

"Father!"

"Lu Yanzhen almost killed my son."

"Should we just give him thirty lashes and call it a day?"

Looking at Li Shuyao's aggrieved expression.

Where was Li Qianming's previous shrewdness and cunning?

"Ouch, ouch~"

"My Yun Shu has been wronged~"

"However, Lu Boqian's influence is deeply entrenched in the capital."

"It won't be that easy to touch him."

"Currently, the main force of my Qian Yuan army is facing off against the army of Dayong."

"If we really push Lu Boqian to the brink of desperation, things will get worse!"

"Using today as an excuse to regain control of the patrol battalion is the best possible outcome."

"Trusting Father Emperor is more painful for that old fox Lu Boqian than having his son stabbed twice!"

Li Shuyao has been with Li Qianming since she was a child.

He naturally understood the meaning behind those words.

He nodded immediately.

But then he immediately asked another question.

"If that's the case, why hand over the patrol battalion, which we finally managed to reclaim, to the Marquis of Wu's mansion?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we kept it ourselves?"

Upon hearing this...

Li Qianming also smiled knowingly.

"Isn't it all for your prince consort!"

"I heard that this kid's cultivation has progressed rapidly recently; in less than a month, he's reached the perfect twelfth level of Body Tempering!"

"It's just a pity that this kid had such a bad reputation before."

"I intend to send him to the patrol battalion to gain experience and accumulate merits."

"Now she's more like my precious daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuyao's cheeks flushed instantly.

She fidgeted, clutching the hem of her clothes.

"Father! You're making fun of your daughter again!"

Although they said that, they felt secretly pleased.

Li Shuyao had secretly fallen for Xiao Yunting after he had saved her several times at Jiangyunxuan.

Although he wouldn't admit it, he had already accepted his father's decision in his heart.

"What? Is Father wrong?"

"Since that's the case, your marriage agreement is only a verbal promise to Xiao Wanjun, and the imperial decree hasn't been issued yet."

"There's still room for reversal... Guards..."

Li Qianming made a move to have the engagement annulled.

Upon seeing this.

Li Shuyao quickly spoke up.

"Father~"

Every frown and smile is an act of coquetry!

Xiao Yunting seemed quite satisfied with his daughter.

Li Qianming immediately burst into laughter!

It seemed like he had thought of something.

Li Qianming suppressed his smile.

He said to Li Shuyao.

"Yun Shu!"

"The Langhuan Jade Vein is about to open."

"At that time, people from all walks of life, from the most prestigious sects to the most humble individuals, will gather in the capital."

"For your safety's sake, it's best if you don't leave the palace anytime soon."

"To avoid encountering any unnecessary trouble"

Upon hearing this...

Li Shuyao agreed repeatedly.

But in her heart, she had a different thought.

This is the first time in my life that I, the princess, have encountered something like this.

How could we not go and see for ourselves?

At worst, I can just bring a few more guards with me.
