He had originally thought that the emperor would be in a good mood when the day of the assembly came, and that he would like to bring up the matter of letting the emperor's concubine be a large part of it.

It was just that now, when Lin Yi suddenly became so angry, he naturally did not expect the consequences to be this serious!

Lin Xian hurriedly knelt down, and the other ministers behind her also kneeled down to the ground. Only Li Chengyan remained standing.

Lin Yi had always been restraining himself for Li Chengyan today, and in his heart, he knew that should be a loyal subject. But now, he didn't expect to still be so wild and untamed.

Lin Yi thought for a while, then walked over to the man and said: "Li Xiang, seems like you also have many opinions on us, why not you give us a good talk, what do you think?"

Then, he turned his head and took out another memorial. When Lin Yi saw the memorial in Li Chengyan's hands, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

This Li Chengyan is really something. It had been so long, could it be that he would always bother me with the memorial s? Couldn't he do something else that made sense?

Lin Yi had a headache, at least Xiao Chunzi was someone with eyes, he anxiously walked down and accepted the memorial. He smiled, then said to Li Chengyan: "Master Li, don't worry, the memorial will take a look, it's just that, the emperor's body is not feeling well, I hope you can give him some time to rest."

"Your majesty, your status is honorable. You really should rest well, and not waste your body on the concubines in the harem …"

"My concubine? What rumors have you heard? Just how did the Consort Hui offend you two? All of you look at her in such a way? " Lin Yi was enraged, he turned and shook off Xiao Chunzi's arm, then said to the people kneeling in the palace, the ministers all lowered their heads, no one daring to raise it.

"Lin Zhen, what do you think?" Originally, Lin Yi thought that he should directly say this to Li Chengyan, but Li Chengyan, as the Prime Minister, was somewhat inappropriate. After thinking for a while, Lin Yi decided to leave him some face.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengyan took over the conversation and said, "Your majesty, it's this old subject's idea. This old subject heard these rumors, you don't have to blame anyone else!"

"Good, very good. All of you are going against me?" That's good, Li Chengyan. Tell me carefully, what did Imperial Concubine Hui do wrong? What did she do to make all of you hate her so much? "

Li Chengyan thought for a moment, and then opened his eyes and spoke to Lin Yi, "Your Majesty, Number One, Imperial Concubine Hui was originally a commoner woman, but now she was promoted to concubine in one step. This position is lower than hers, so what do you think about the women who have been suffering in the harem for many years?"

"What do you think? Li Chengyan, you dare say that you do not have any selfish motives, what you care about is at least your niece? "Don't you have a niece in my harem? She is still a maid now. It seems that you have some objections to me?"

Li Chengyan raised his head, his face was filled with surprise. He did not expect the emperor to think this way, he had never thought this way under the Heavens. In his heart, only the citizens of the country had a little bit of his own honor.

But now, since the Emperor has already said it, he could not argue any further. He turned to Lin Yi and said, "Your majesty, you have misunderstood this old man, this old man does not mean it!"

"And the second? There should still be a second, right? "

Li Chengyan hesitated for a while, but eventually answered, "Your Majesty, the three generations of loyal officials of this old subject's family, are not afraid of anything. The only thing they are afraid of is the destruction of our Great Ying Dynasty, at that time, this old subject would be unable to bear the blame, and would not have the face to meet the ancestors.

As he spoke, he placed the flower plume on his head on the ground and said, "Secondly, it's fine for a commoner to have a woman. However, her identity is too strange, so I couldn't find out where she came from. Your majesty, don't you feel puzzled and worried? How could an unknown woman stay in the imperial harem? Now that she was pregnant, she was given the title of a concubine. Just whose child did she have in her womb? No one could explain it, what if the dragon throne was to be passed down in the future and the matter of the Emperor was to happen?

Lin Yi never thought that after all this time, Li Chengyan was actually worried about Su Mu's child in her womb.

Lin Yi's eyes became even colder, and he said to Li Chengyan: "Li Xiang, don't worry, who's the child in Su Mu's womb? "I am well aware that he is naturally my child. Could it be that he will be yours?"

Li Chengyan did not want to bother with Lin Yi anymore, so he continued, "Thirdly, she has medical skills, as the saying goes, she can save people. Then, she can hurt people, and strange things happen every day in the imperial harem, could it be that it has something to do with the Imperial Concubine Hui? According to what this old official knows, ever since the Imperial Concubine Hui entered the harem, this sort of thing has never stopped.

"Oh, really? Now that the Consort Yong is so favored, why don't you tell me about the Consort Yong? " Lin Yi was so angry that he started laughing and asking.

The Imperial Concubine has a name and a surname. Her father is devoted to his duties, and her mother is also a daughter of a noble family. She can naturally be doted on by you." Li Chengyan said with an indifferent expression.

"Oh, really? Li Xiang, do you mean that I should have you make arrangements for any woman I like? What if I refuse? Are you all plotting against my throne? " Lin Yi's words were a little too serious, everyone knew that the crime of conspiring against others, was too big of a crime, and one could easily plunder their entire clan.

The others were naturally afraid and kneeled down, not daring to speak anymore. However, they did not expect that Li Chengyan was still standing upright and wanted to speak, but Lin Yi said, "We are not the overlord, and Consort Hui is not himself, so there is no need for you to compete …"

It was very obvious that Li Chengyan would not give up. Thus, the Imperial Palace was split into two groups, one group went toward the Emperor, one group went towards Li Chengyan. Because of the three dynasties, Li Chengyan was not afraid of anything, and just kowtowed even more!

They were arguing non-stop in the imperial court. From the looks of it, they would not be able to leave the imperial court easily!

This news had actually reached Su Mu's ears. When Su Mu heard it, he turned his head and smiled, then said to Little Ying Zi who was passing the message to him, "Eunuch Ying, I think it's quite funny. The Emperor is so busy in the imperial court right now, do you have the time to inform me? It looks like I have to thank you. Lv Qi, can you give a piece of silver to Eunuch Ying? "
