Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

When Ye Chen saw Huamei, he was naturally in a good mood.

This is not only because the thrush is beautiful, but also because the thrush is the person in charge of the entire lakeside cottage.

With Huamei coming to receive Ye Chen, Ye Chen could naturally learn about the situation of the lakeside cottage more quickly.

"Huamei, tell me how many suspicious people there are around the lakeside cottage, and what they have done?"

Ye Chen asked in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Huamei nodded, her pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head slightly.

"Master Ye, I have prepared the tea room. I will tell you in detail when we get there."

Huamei said shyly.

She knew that Lin Ziyun was the emperor, but there were still many cloth bags and laborers carrying them in the courtyard, so it was not easy for her to kneel down and salute him directly.

"Well, okay, Thrush, you lead the way then."

Ye Chen nodded and said to Huamei.

"Master Ye."

The thrush's voice is very low.

"what happened?"

"Can you please loosen my hand?"

There was a hint of pleading in the thrush's voice.

After knowing Ye Chen's identity, she no longer dared to make Ye Chen angry.

If anyone else dared to do this, she would have ordered her men to beat him out with sticks.

"Oh."

Ye Chen immediately let go of her hand, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He didn't hold Huamei's hand to take advantage of her, he just wanted to show courtesy.

He is very open-minded.

However, Huamei's hands are indeed very smooth and tender.

It feels very elastic, soft and boneless.

It's still different from Qin Man, Hua Rui and Shen Qiu's hands.

But while Ye Chen was savoring it carefully, Shen Qiu's eyes became a little sharp.

Seeing that the thrush girl had shyly turned around and was about to leave, she reminded her in a bad mood.

"Your Majesty, the thrush girl has left."

"Oh."

Ye Chen touched his nose and followed the thrush.

The interior of the lakeside cottage had changed drastically by this time, and all the young girls in revealing clothes had disappeared.

All that was left were laborers busy moving things and a warrior with a bow and sword.

Compared to before, the entire lakeside cottage is obviously much quieter, but the defense is obviously much stricter.

Ye Chen quickly followed Huamei into the tea room.

There was a kettle hanging in the tea room, with a charcoal fire burning underneath.

Steam is constantly gushing out of the spout.

Huamei picked up the kettle with an iron hook and made a cup of strong tea for Ye Chen.

Then, in front of Ye Chen, he added milk, ginger, plums and coarse salt to the strong tea, and placed the strong cup of tea in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at the white liquid in the teacup in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, then he picked up the teacup and took a sip under Huamei's expectant gaze.

"Delicious."

Ye Chen said against his will.

Huamei smiled and then picked up a bamboo slip.

"Your Majesty, this records the number of people we discovered sneaking around the lakeside cottage, the frequency of their activities, and the times they often appeared."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen picked up the bamboo slips and unfolded them to read.

But after reading it, Ye Chen frowned slightly.

"These people appear and disappear in groups of three or five, and only watch from either end of the street. Do they sometimes appear in nearby restaurants?"

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and felt that these people were really sneaky.

Moreover, they appear in groups of three or five, and are all equipped with weapons. Even if you want to attack them, you may not be able to catch them, and there is even the possibility of casualties on your side.

Not to mention, these guys are all extremely smart. As soon as the guards of the lakeside house get close to these people, they run away faster than rabbits.

"Huamei, if we have enough manpower, are you sure you can capture these people?"

Ye Chen said to Huamei again.

After all, this thrush is the person in charge of the lakeside cottage, and catching spies should be done by the person who is most familiar with the environment around the lakeside cottage.

"Your Majesty, Huamei is doing her best, but if we try to capture them by force, there will inevitably be casualties."

A trace of pity appeared on Huamei's face.

"It's okay. Soldiers should be prepared to sacrifice. I'll have Di Gui send some more generals over. They'll all follow your orders, but don't worry about how they're carried out."

Ye Chen said.

Compassion does not command troops.

He also saw the reluctance and pity on Huamei's face, which was a big taboo for a military commander.

He then packed up all the generals and sent them to Huamei.

"Your Majesty, Huamei will definitely work hard to complete the task."

"Well, after we catch those spies, we'll interrogate who's behind this, and then kill them all."

Ye Chen snorted coldly.

It is undoubtedly too difficult to find out which corrupt officials are among these minions.

Yang Dechang would not be so stupid as to reveal his identity to these minions.

So, Ye Chen caught and killed these spies one by one.

This is also a declaration of sovereignty to tell the people behind the scenes that the power behind the lakeside cottage is not to be trifled with!

"Yes."

Feeling Ye Chen's decisiveness in killing, Huamei's delicate body trembled slightly, and then she said.

"Okay, I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving first. Huamei, I'll have someone send you a token later. If there's anything you can't handle in the future, you can take this token to the palace to find me!"

Ye Chen stood up, then walked forward and held Huamei's hand.

Said in a very gentle tone.

"Ah."

The thrush's voice became completely lowered, and its shy look further highlighted its gentle temperament, making it appear very lovable.

When Ye Chen saw her like this, he suddenly had an urge to hug her in his arms.

Who can not like this beautiful lady who is as pretty as a jade from a small family?

However, Ye Chen has not taken any action yet.

A slightly cold voice interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to the examination room?"

Shen Qiu said in a very cold tone.

"Well, ahem, I really have to go."

Ye Chen couldn't help but cough twice.

"Huamei, I'm not convenient today. I'll come to see you later."

Ye Chen said goodbye.

"Oh, your majesty, the thrush is waiting for you."

When Huamei heard Ye Chen say that he would come again next time, she nodded happily and answered obediently.
