Lin Xu brought Jin Kui to the door of Di Xin's bedroom. The eunuch on duty at the door saw Lin Xu and immediately went in to report.
"Lord Lin, please!" The eunuch on duty said respectfully.
Lin Xu nodded and brought Jin Kui straight into the bedroom.
"Your humble servant Lin Xu greets Your Majesty!”Lin Xu bowed and cupped his fists.
"I, Jin Kui, wish to see the king. My king will live forever, as long as the heavens!”Jin Kui immediately knelt down and shouted.
When Di Xin heard Jin Kui's voice, his eyes lit up and he carefully looked at Jin Kui who was kneeling on the ground.
"Raise your head and let me see!”Di Xin said to Jin Kui, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Here!" Jin Kui knelt on the ground and looked up at Di Xin.
"Very good! Please get up!" Di Xin quickly walked over and grabbed Jin Kui's hand to help him up.
"Yaoyang! Who was this? Why did you bring him to my palace?" Di Xin asked Lin Xu while caressing Jin Kui's hand.
Lin Xu felt a chill run down his spine as goosebumps appeared all over his body. Suppressing the feeling of nausea, Lin Xu replied,"I heard that Your Majesty is not satisfied with the concubines in the palace, so I specially asked the intelligence department of the East Chamber to find them for Your Majesty!”
"Good! My dear minister, you are so considerate. Pass down the order. The East Chamber's commander, Lin Xu, will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and four thousand stones of food!”Di Xin looked at Jin Kui and nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, there is no need for these rewards. This matter should not be publicized. Otherwise, it will damage Your Majesty's reputation and those officials will say bad things about Your Majesty!”Lin Xu persuaded.
Lin Xu really didn't care about these rewards. Moreover, he couldn't let anyone know about this. Otherwise, he would be classified as a traitor by those loyal officials and some commoners. This would ruin the reputation he had built up and wouldn't be beneficial to his future development at all.
"Aiqing's words are reasonable, those ministers are really despicable. This king has conquered the four seas and established great achievements. Right now, there is only chaos in the North Sea. I have already sent Grand Preceptor Wen to quell the rebellion. I haven't gone to court for half a month and they are already accusing me. Now that the world is at peace, I just want to enjoy it. What's wrong with that?”Di Xin nodded in agreement and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about those officials. I'll order the East Chamber soldiers guarding the palace to not allow anyone to enter the palace. This way, Your Majesty won't have to worry about those people remonstrating!”Lin Xu said.
"Good! My beloved minister is indeed a loyal minister! I'll reward you handsomely in the future. You can leave first!”Dixingen was satisfied with Lin Xu's performance. He praised him and asked him to leave.
"Your Majesty, I have a request that I hope Your Majesty will approve!”Lin Xu pleaded.
"Oh? If there's anything, please tell me!" Di Xin was in a good mood. He was very satisfied with Jin Kui and liked Lin Xu even more.
"Your Majesty, I think that the bronze pillar set up in the east of the Nine Halls is very inappropriate and should be destroyed. Moreover, the poem that Your Majesty mentioned in the Nuwa Palace should also be erased!”Lin Xu suggested.
"Why? The pao was established to deter those officials. The poem that I recited in the Nuwa Palace was praising Goddess Nuwa. What was wrong with that?”Di Xin was a little unhappy as he looked at Lin Xu.
"Now, the outside world is saying that Your Majesty has created torture and branded loyal officials. Nuwa Palace has mentioned obscene poems and said that you are dissolute and immoral. Now that the soldiers of the East Chamber are here, no officials dare to speak out. I think it should be removed to protect the king's reputation.”Lin Xu explained.
Lin Xu wasn't doing this for the reputation of Emperor Xin. He was doing this for himself. As long as he abolished the punishment of being branded and erased the poems on the Nuwa Palace, no one in the world would say that he was a loyal minister. Reputation was very useful, and it could be compared to tens of millions of troops.
"Your Majesty, I think Lord Lin's words are very good. This is for your own good!”Jin Kui echoed.
"Yes! Good! I'll leave these two matters to you!" Di Xin agreed after hearing Jin Kui's words.
"Then I will take my leave!" Lin Xu cupped his fists and bowed before leaving Di Xin's bedroom.
He didn't want to stay here any longer. He felt disgusted and uncomfortable when he heard the two men making love.
After leaving Di Xin's bedchamber, Lin Xu went to Su Daji's bedchamber and came to the palace. Of course, he wanted to see his wife.
When they arrived at Su Daji's bedroom, Lin Xu entered the inner room and pushed the door open. The situation inside surprised him. Two gorgeous women in luxurious clothes were actually in Su Daji's bedroom. They were sitting on the bed and chatting. When Lin Xu entered, they were stunned.
"Lord Lin, how dare you! This is the harem. It's fine if you wander around, but you actually pushed open the door and entered the inner chamber of the concubine's bedroom without reporting. What logic is this?”Yang Liu raised her eyebrows and berated.
Huang Feiyan also frowned and looked at Lin Xu unkindly.
"Ah! Erm, Sisters, Lin Xu is Little Sister's sworn brother. I was the one who called him over. I was a little rude. Please don't blame me!”Su Daji immediately defended Lin Xu.
"Lin Xu greets the two niangniang. I hope you can forgive me for my rudeness!”Although Lin Xu didn't know who the two were, he thought they were concubines in the palace. He immediately cupped his fists and bowed.
"Since that's the case, I'll spare you this time. Sister Daji, since you're looking for Lord Lin, we won't stay any longer.”Huang Feiyan stood up and said.
"Humph!" Yang Liu wrinkled her nose at Lin Xu and glared at him, preparing to leave with Huang Feiyan.
"Two niangniang, please wait!" Lin Xu looked at the two women who were about to leave. The corners of his mouth curled up and he suddenly asked them to stay.
(Please!)
