Chapter 217 The Grassroots Are Scared!

Li Yuquan thought that Lin Xiao was frightened by the way he killed people just now, so he asked:

"Are you afraid?"

"Yes, the grass people are scared."

Lin Xiao was indeed scared, but what she was even more afraid of was the way the imperial concubine looked at her. The coldness that seemed to penetrate her heart made her shiver uncontrollably.

Li Yuquan looked at her for a while, then suddenly said:

"Since you are afraid, why deliberately lure me to the imperial garden?"

Lin Xiao raised her head in a daze, and looked at Li Yuquan in a daze.

It turned out that he knew her intentions from the very beginning.

Lin Xiao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing:
"Damn the grassroots! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The skin on her forehead was already broken, and bright red blood oozed out, which was shocking, showing how hard she knocked.

Li Yuquan didn't expect that she would do such a trick to herself.

He frowned and said coldly:
"Get up!"

"Your majesty, don't you punish the grassroots?"

"If you were to be punished, you would have died long ago!"

Li Yuquan glared at her angrily, and said in a slightly stiff tone.

"Thank the emperor for his kindness! Cao Min thanked the emperor for his kindness!"

Lin Xiao quickly got up from the ground, clasped his hands on his stomach, and looked devout, not even daring to lift his head.

Seeing her groveling appearance, Li Yuquan nodded with satisfaction:
"Actually, I already knew about the two of them, but I just turned a blind eye because I was afraid that the relationship with the imperial concubine would become stagnant."

Your relationship with the imperial concubine has froze like this, is there any room for decline?

Lin Xiao slandered, but he didn't dare to show any disgust on his face, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty is wise."

"Don't say compliments, I only know that you have offended the imperial concubine, and I am afraid that your life in the palace will not be easy in the future."

Li Yuquan said indifferently, revealing his sympathy for Lin Xiao in his words.

Nima, why do the co-authors use me as a weapon? !

Lin Xiao was extremely depressed in his heart, but there was a panic expression on his face.

"The grassroots dare not!"

Her demeanor was respectful and humble.

Seeing Lin Xiao like this, Li Yuquan felt a little guilty in his heart.

After all, he is the emperor, and he cannot do anything without considering the consequences.

"You are a talent, I appreciate it very much, you take this, it can save your life!"

After speaking, he threw a gold medal to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao quickly took the gold medal, checked it carefully, and found that the gold medal was made of gold, with the word "Chief Award" engraved on it.

Oh my god, isn't this the legendary gold medal for avoiding death? !
Lin Xiao was ecstatic, and hurriedly stuffed the gold medal into his arms.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Ah."

Li Yuquan responded lightly.

Immediately, his eyes fell on Lin Xiao again:
"After eating the noodles you cooked yesterday, I really wanted to taste it again. I wonder if you can cook it for me again?"

It's not that Lin Xiao's noodle cooking skills surpassed the imperial chef's, but that the half-baked noodles resembled the taste of Li Yuquan's mother who died young.

Thinking of this, Li Yuquan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a ray of pain surfaced in his heart.

In those years, his mother and queen were always sick in bed, and the first emperor patronized and spent time with Li Yuyan's mother and concubine.

The people in the palace are all snobbish, they see that Li Yuquan's mother and son are not welcome, so they make things difficult for them everywhere.

This led to extremely poor food for the two of them.

Fortunately, every time he was hungry, the queen mother would cook noodles for him.

Although those days were difficult, they were extremely precious. The noodles cooked by his mother were the sweetest and most delicious things he had ever eaten.

Thinking about it, Li Yuquan couldn't help but fell into deep memories
"It's simple, Caomin will prepare it now!"

Li Yuquan had already given her the gold medal to avoid death, so his little wish had to be fulfilled.

Lin Xiao immediately ran to prepare.

Li Yuquan stood there silently for a long time, finally looked up at the clear blue sky, and sighed, with tears in the corners of his eyes:

Empress, I miss you!
……

In the imperial study room, Li Yuquan chewed slowly and tasted the noodles cooked by Lin Xiao.

"After the wedding between Bai Zhancheng and the prime minister's daughter is over, you will leave the palace. I will send someone to deliver the imperial decree to your workshop. From then on, your workshop will officially become the royal family. Do you really want to?"

Li Yuquan put down his chopsticks, looked at Lin Xiao with burning eyes, and asked.

The private workshop has transformed into a royal industry, which not only can expand the scale, but also is a great honor!
Only fools don't want to!

"The grassroots are willing! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Xiao quickly knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.

When she was about to flatter Li Yuquan again, Prime Minister Wang Tuo brought Zhao Qian to the imperial study.

"My minister joins my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Get up!"

Li Yuquan waved his hand, motioning for the two to get up.

After Wang Tuo and Zhao Qian got up, their gazes swept to Lin Xiao who was aside intentionally or unintentionally.

"Does the prime minister have anything to report?"

"Reporting to the emperor, Jiuzhou Town encountered a heavy rainstorm that is rare in a century, and the crops are almost useless!"

Wang Tuo's expression was very serious, and his brows were full of worry.

Hearing this, Li Yuquan frowned, with a serious expression on his face.

He thought that Lin Xiao was from Jiuzhou Town, and hurriedly sent her a questioning look.

Lin Xiaoxin understood, and said quickly:
"Qi Zou Emperor, a few days ago, Jiuzhou Town was indeed hit by a severe storm. Due to the sudden rainstorm, the people had no time to harvest the crops that were about to mature in advance, so the losses were huge!"

She didn't say anything about the bursting of the river dam in Linjiacun. After all, the bursting of the river dam was a major event, and even if someone did it deliberately, the village chief still couldn't get away with it.

Lin Xiao, who has seen Li Yuquan's ruthless side, dare not take any more risks.

After Wang Tuo heard this, his face became more and more gloomy:

"Your Majesty, I think that we should immediately send troops to reinforce Jiuzhou Town, in case someone plans to rebel."

Li Yuquan didn't answer, but looked at Lin Xiao, and asked in a questioning tone:

"Lin Xiao, I want to hear your opinion."

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

This is a major national event, how dare she talk about it?

Besides, in case she said something wrong and offended anyone, she would have to walk around, she didn't want to get burned!

But now that Li Yuquan is asking for her opinion, even if there are 1 people who are unwilling, she has to express her opinion.

"The grassroots think it's wrong!"

After gritting her teeth and thinking for a moment, she resolutely uttered a few words.

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent for an instant.

The eyes of Wang Tuo and Zhao Qian fell on her face.

Lin Xiao shrank his neck involuntarily, scolding himself for being stupid in his heart.

Why do you have to hit the muzzle? !
"Why?"

It took a long time before Li Yuquan's voice rang out, his tone was calm, without any emotion.

Lin Xiao's heart couldn't help but go up and down, she gritted her teeth, and boldly said:
"When the people were hit by disasters, instead of helping them, the imperial court sent troops to reinforce them. Wouldn't this chill the hearts of the people? Since ancient times, the hearts of the people have been the most important thing, so the grassroots think they can do both."
