Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

The moment Lin Shu spoke, Mencius suddenly raised his head and looked around.

The emperor suddenly said, "Zi Du, don't be surprised. Just do your best."

Mencius saw the warning in the emperor's eyes and instantly realized that the emperor could also hear the voice just now.

Since the emperor wanted to protect this inexplicable voice, he would just pretend he didn't hear it.

Meng Zidu bowed and took his leave. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a wet nurse standing outside holding a baby.

[Huh~ Fortunately I retreated quickly, otherwise I would have been discovered eavesdropping. ]

He saw the baby staring at him with a pair of eyes and giving him a sweet smile.

Mencius was a little surprised. It turned out that what he heard was the voice of the little baby.

Because when Milkman stared at him, his ears were almost deafened.

[Ahhh… How can someone be so handsome? I like him so much. 】

[With this appearance, she can debut right here. 】

[I don't know who is more handsome, him or Pan An, and whether they will encounter a scene of throwing fruits into the car when they go out. 】

Mencius concealed his surprise, bowed, saluted, and then took his leave.

But my mind was constantly thinking about the situation just now.

This was not the first time he had seen the little princess. Before, when he was in the court, he could not hear the little princess's thoughts.

He could hear it in an instant when he made up his mind to serve his country.

So, only those who are loyal to Your Majesty can hear it.

The emperor also thought of this key point at this time.

He stood up and took Lin Shu, muttering, "You are indeed Daddy's lucky star."

When Lin Shu heard this, he pouted.

[What happened to Little Lucky Star? You didn't even tell me when you were talking to Lady Meng.]

When the emperor heard what Lin Shu said, he tapped the tip of Lin Shu's nose.

"Daddy takes the baby to pick treasures, okay?"

When Lin Shu heard this, his attention was instantly diverted and he uttered babbling sounds of excitement.

[I have to go, I would have almost forgotten if daddy hadn’t told me! ]

"Look how anxious you are."

The emperor shook his head and carried Lin Shu to his private vault.

Lin Shu's eyes widened instantly. The dazzling array of treasures in the private vault made her unable to open her eyes.

Lin Shu suddenly found a bonsai in the corner. The bonsai had a natural green color. It was not jade, but looked a bit like some natural minerals.

[Hiss, this bonsai made of natural minerals, won’t it have radiation? ]

[There is no testing condition at present. If the bonsai really contains radiation, long-term use may cause terminal illness. ]

[Wow, don't stay here. It's scary.]

Lin Shu immediately wanted to leave, so the emperor decided to investigate privately.

He remembered that this was a gift from the Minister of Revenue at his birthday party last year. It was said to be a naturally formed stone, quite interesting, and the pattern on the back of the stone looked like the Chinese character for longevity. He had found it specially for him.

At this time, Chief Steward Zhao came up to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue requests an audience."

"Tell him to wait for me outside the imperial study."

Wei House.

Wei Zhong listened to the information reported by his servant, anger surged in his heart, and he suddenly threw the teacup in his hand away.

The housekeeper felt heartbroken when he saw this. In the past few days, the master had broken countless tea cups, and almost all the cups in the tea set had been broken.

The family didn't have much money to begin with, and they were still doing this. The family couldn't afford the money.

Wei Zhong sat on the chair with his chest heaving violently. "I didn't expect that it was this old dog Xin who was behind this."

"We have no grudges against each other, why do you want to harm my Wei family!"

When the servant saw that Wei Zhong had calmed down, he reported something he had heard by the way.

"It is said that the Xin family is looking for a sorcerer and wants to present him to His Majesty."

Wei Zhong slammed the table, "This bastard actually wants Your Majesty to indulge in magic and seek immortality. His heart is worthy of death, his heart is worthy of death! No, I just want to see the emperor and expose this bastard's conspiracy. I can't let Your Majesty be deceived by him."

Wei Zhong hurried to the palace and saw the old thief Xin explaining the matter to the emperor.

The emperor showed no emotion on his face; he just listened quietly.

Wei Zhong was anxious, wondering if the emperor thought it was feasible and wanted to adopt it.

The exit will be blocked immediately.

But he was interrupted by Lin Shu's inner voice.

[It's obvious that this old man has bad intentions. He said he was doing this for Daddy's sake and wanted to find a secret elixir for Daddy's longevity. But in fact, he just wanted to poison Daddy to death.]

[Those pills cannot be eaten at all, they are full of poisonous stuff. ]

When the emperor heard Lin Shu say that the elixir was poisonous and wanted to harm him, he immediately wanted to get angry.

Who knew Lin Shu would take a deep breath?

[However, these sorcerers are good. Their furnaces often explode when they are refining pills. When the time comes, give them the approximate ratio of gunpowder, and then lock them all in a small dark room and let them study carefully. If they can't figure it out, they won't be given food.]

[Hehe, after developing explosives, let's see how rampant those barbarians can be. Blow them up.]

[It's just that developing this thing is a bit time-consuming. I don't know if the sorcerers that Shangshu found are enough.]

[That's not right. Shouldn't I first persuade my father not to take those pills and not be obsessed with cultivating immortality? ]

The emperor and Wei Zhong were both a little shocked. They actually knew about gunpowder, as it was found in fireworks. Could it really kill people?

Wei Zhong just heard Lin Shu's inner voice, and he was skeptical about it, but he didn't speak out directly. After all, the Qian Shicheng incident made him see the emperor's methods clearly.

Even if he didn't believe Lin Shu, he would believe the emperor.

The Minister of Finance, who was standing below, saw that the emperor had no reaction, neither agreeing nor refusing, so he continued to talk about the benefits of the elixir.

It was not until he was thirsty from talking that the emperor picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, pretending to be interested.

"I think it's interesting, so go ahead and do it."

A hint of joy flashed in Minister Xin's eyes, and he quickly said yes and was about to leave.

The emperor suddenly called out to him, "Since you want to find it, find more. After all, sorcerers have different abilities and different research directions. Find more so that we can study each other. Maybe the elixir we research will be more powerful."

The emperor paused. "How about this, not too many, go find me a hundred or eighty first."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

Lin Shu looked at the Minister of Revenue and waved his fists babblingly.

The emperor grabbed him and stopped him.

At this time, the emperor and Wei Zhong also heard the excited voice of the Minister of Revenue.

Great revenge! Great revenge!

The emperor and Wei Zhong looked at each other, both of them with confusion in their eyes.

The emperor thought to himself: Does this old man have a grudge against me?
