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

The emperor in the carriage wished he could immediately drag Meng Zi and others out of their homes and make them exercise properly.

It was not until the carriage suddenly stopped that he was interrupted from sending people to pull out all the people.

The emperor immediately frowned in dissatisfaction, and Manager Zhao quickly apologized.

"Sir, there are two children kneeling on the road, forcing the carriage to stop."

Manager Zhao wanted to continue his report, but there was chaos outside, and harsh sounds of beating, scolding and shouting could be heard.

Lin Shu frowned and slowly opened her eyes. The harsh sound made her very irritated.

He unconsciously pursed his lips and started sobbing.

The emperor gently patted Lin Shu with his hand and whispered, "Go away."

Lin Shu had been fully awakened by the noise at this time.

Then I heard the voice of a child outside, "Please save my sister's life."

"I am willing to work like a slave for you to repay you."

The people who were chasing saw the luxurious carriages and horses. Although they didn't see the family crest, they could tell that they were not an ordinary family.

He did not dare to be too presumptuous for the moment and tried to pull the two people away.

He said harshly to the two children, "Your father lost his money and sold your sister to my master."

"If you continue to obstruct me, I will break both of your legs."

Lin Shu suspected that he had heard it wrongly. He glanced at his father and then looked in the direction where the voice came from.

[No, you are trafficking children right in front of my father?]

[You really don't take my father seriously. 】

The emperor, who was already very unhappy, looked even darker.

He turned to Zhao and said, "Why are you still standing there? Take him away and interrogate him."

"They dare to buy and sell human beings in the street. I think they are tired of living."

Manager Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What about these two children?"

The emperor pinched his eyebrows and sighed. He suddenly felt powerless.

He actually knew about the human trafficking, and it was a problem that continued despite repeated bans.

Even if we send this child home today, I'm afraid he will be sold to someone else after a while.

Just as the emperor was thinking, the child outside the carriage kowtowed several times to the carriage, bleeding profusely.

"Please give my sister a chance to live. Don't send her back."

"I will do whatever you ask me to do, even if it means taking my life."

The emperor took in the entire scene through the gap in the curtain, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Then how can you be sure that you are not pushing your sister into another abyss?"

The boy knelt on the ground without raising his head. "I met you this morning. You treat your daughter very well. The way you look at her is different from others."

"Moreover, you did not oppress the people and were kind to ordinary vendors."

"You can tell at first glance that he's a good person."

Lin Shu burst out laughing.

[Daddy is rarely seen outside, but he is given the nice guy card. 】

When the emperor heard Lin Shu's laughter, his eyes softened a little.

He whispered to Zhao: "Check the boy's background carefully. If there is no problem with his background, bring him to me."

Then the emperor lowered the curtain, isolating everything from the carriage.

Then the carriage moved forward slowly and everything returned to calm again.

Lin Shu's little hands tightly grasped the emperor's clothes.

The emperor put his hand on Lin Shu's hand and hugged Lin Shu tighter.

Lin Shu stared at the emperor without blinking.

He thought that his words had frightened Lin Shu, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

What if his Fubao is afraid of him and doesn’t kiss him anymore?

However, he didn't expect that what Lin Shu was thinking was completely different from what he was thinking.

【My father is such a good man. 】

[Children today are so pitiful. If their families are poor, they will be sold. If there is a gambler in their family, they will also be sold. Even if they are not sold, they will be abandoned.]

[Even if Daddy is the emperor, he can save this pair of siblings, but he can't save all the orphans in the world.]

His little cotton-padded jacket was always warm, and the emperor felt warm in his heart when he heard Lin Shu's words.

He squeezed Lin Shu's little hand, but what he was thinking was, if the boy didn't look quite smart and maybe could join the secret guard after some training, he would just send him back home.

But he would not tell Lin Shu these now.

Lin Shu nestled in the emperor's arms, thinking in a daze.

[It would be nice to have an orphanage, but I wonder if anyone is willing to do charity. ]

As he was thinking, Lin Shu fell asleep again.

The emperor touched Lin Shu's head. Although he didn't know what an orphanage was, he could guess roughly what it was.

He sighed quietly and murmured, "Dad will think of a way."

The next morning, the emperor went to the morning court alone.

Then he called several ministers to the imperial study.

Meng Zidu, Wei Zhong and Shen Xi looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.

Only Murong Xun stood still like a mountain, closing his eyes to rest.

The emperor carried Lin Shu into the room and looked at the eye contact between the people, speechless.

He said, "Don't guess. I called you here for two reasons."

"One is the matter of Qingxi Town in Pingjiang Prefecture."

The emperor looked at Meng Zidu and said, "Meng Qing's fellow apprentices, please assist Chief Murong's men to go there."

Meng Zidu's eyes lit up slightly. He knew that this was an opportunity given by the emperor to give them meritorious service and then take the opportunity to place them in the court.

He quickly said yes.

The emperor nodded, "Chief Murong, I still need your advice on this matter."

Murong Xun smiled and said yes, and then stopped moving.

But they all understood what the emperor meant. After the matter was over, Murong Xun would be their colleague.

Lin Shu had a stern face and lay in the emperor's arms without saying a word, not even daring to look at Murong Xun.

I grabbed the mechanical ball I bought yesterday and pretended to play with it.

But I was muttering to myself.

[Hmph, now you still know what I'm thinking? ]

The people who heard Lin Shu's thoughts had different expressions. Except for the emperor and Murong Xun, they all looked confused.

Only Murong Xun's mouth corners were slightly upturned.

It was Lin Shu's words that made the emperor see that the mechanical ball in Lin Shu's hand was the most difficult one to solve yesterday.

He reached out and took it out of Lin Shu's hand.

Lin Shu's mind was not on the mechanical ball, but on being alert to Murong Xun. It was not until her hands were empty and she pinched the air twice that she realized that her mechanical ball had been taken away by her father.

He also handed the mechanical ball to Murong Xun.

【! ! ! 】

[Didn’t Daddy give me the mechanical ball as an apology? Did he take it away after he saw that I was no longer angry after getting up? ]

[I’m going to make a scene… woooo…]

The emperor stiffened slightly.

hiss……

He wanted to know whether Murong Xun could solve this problem.

If he can't solve it, then there should be very few people who can solve it.

He was so busy thinking about this that he forgot that he had given this thing to Lin Shu first.

At this point he could only grit his teeth and continue.

"Captain Murong, have you seen this thing? Do you have the confidence to solve it?"

The people present either looked up at the sky and observed the beams of the house, or felt that their fingers seemed to be particularly different today.

Only Shen Xi had a look of envy, with words like "It turns out that His Majesty is so dependent on the princess. They have such a good relationship." written all over his face.

Murong Xun walked forward with a faint smile and stepped on Shen Xi's foot, interrupting Shen Xi's straightforward facial expression.

"I will try my best, but I cannot take the princess's things for free. I have something to give to the princess."
