The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Lin Shanjuan looked at him with disdain. He revealed such a big loophole in just a few words. He really didn't know how he got such a high-ranking official position.

There was obvious sarcasm in her eyes.

"Did the Emperor ask you to speak? Your voice is louder than mine."

Qin Wenxiang was startled and quickly knelt down, "This old minister...this old minister has overstepped his bounds. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Qi Yili was about to respond when Lin Shanjuan said something lightly.

"Since you know you've overstepped your bounds, why do you still hope for His Majesty's forgiveness? If he refuses, what will you do? Threaten death?"

These words left Qin Wenxiang speechless, his face flushed red, "You you you..."

Ji Shihan snorted coldly, "Your Majesty will make his own decisions. You, a commoner, are pressing His Majesty so aggressively. You truly don't take the laws of our dynasty seriously!"

Lin Shanjuan wasn't afraid at all: "I'm the candidate for the Imperial Inspector appointed by His Majesty. In terms of official rank, I'm a bit higher than this Lord Qin. He's about to point his finger at me and scold me, and I'm not allowed to prove myself a few words? You're so delicate."

Qin Wenxiang stood up with his sleeves swung, but before he could open his mouth, Lin Shanjuan started to attack him indiscriminately again:

"Lord Qin felt he had made a mistake by making a scene in the court, and he knelt down to beg for forgiveness from the Emperor. But before His Majesty could even offer his forgiveness, he stood up?"

Qin Wenxiang's knees went weak and he knelt down again, his eyes looking as if he could devour Lin Shanjuan alive.

Ji Shihan didn't expect that this timid and weak-kneed guy was just pretending. Her sharp words made him lose his composure.

This is also a big trouble. We must not let her be the Imperial Inspector and be in charge of the six ministries!

"Your Majesty! Although the Prince Consort is eloquent, he lacks any real talent or knowledge. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider this."

Just as Qi Yili was about to come up with his prepared words, Lin Shanjuan chuckled:

"Master Grand Master, you've never seen my talent, yet you make such a statement. Could it be that you understand my background and have put a lot of effort into me?"

Where had Ji Shihan ever heard such a difficult argument? He was putting so much effort into the princess's female consort? Even if Lin Shanjuan dared to say this, he wouldn't dare to listen!

"You! You're talking nonsense!"

Lin Shanjuan had his own way of dealing with these old foxes. Seeing that Ji Shihan was speechless, he spoke up himself.

"I've always heard that Lord Ji is very knowledgeable. Now, during a conversation, a commoner like me has left him speechless. How can this not be considered a way to prove his talent?"

My goodness, she climbed up by stepping on Grand Tutor Ji, and she did it so openly and frankly. This woman is really not afraid of death.

The entire court was in complete silence. Ji Shihan stared at Lin Shanjuan. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost tense, Qi Yili quickly called Xiaodunzi.

"If you, my dear ministers, have no objections, then it is settled!"

Ji Shihan's face turned purple with anger, and his expression was full of rejection. Just as he was about to speak, Xiaodunzi opened his mouth first.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees this. To stabilize the imperial court, the six supervisory departments are reorganized, with a special office for unified administration established. Lin Shanjuan, the eldest princess's consort, is appointed head of the office. He is appointed a third-rank Imperial Inspector, reporting directly to the Emperor. No one else has the authority to interrogate him. This is decreed!"

"Your Majesty!" Ji Shihan coughed and tried to stop him.

Lin Shanjuan smiled slightly, "I accept your order."

"His Majesty!!"

Xiaodunzi forced a smile on his face as he handed her the imperial edict. "Secretary Lin, someone will deliver the official uniform, documents, and seal to the princess's residence shortly."

Lin Shanjuan nodded and took it, "Please trouble me, eunuch."

"His Majesty!!!"

Qi Yili finally couldn't ignore it any longer: "Master Ji, what else do you want?"

Ji Shihan: ...

The order has been issued, the imperial edict has been delivered, and everyone has gone to collect the official seal immediately. Why don’t you wait until she takes office for a year before paying attention to me?!

Seeing this, Lin Shanjuan bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Grand Tutor Ji, for your congratulations."

Master Ji: Look at my expression, do I want to congratulate you or scold you?

Qi Yili was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that his stomach hurt. He hurriedly ordered the court to be dismissed and excitedly returned to the imperial study.

He couldn't wait to describe to Qi Zhaomian the dark faces of Ji Shihan and Qin Wenxiang.

After the court session, a group of people came to curry favor with him.

It was nothing but flattery like "Congratulations to Director Lin on his promotion". Lin Shanjuan didn't want to listen, so he said goodbye perfunctorily and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Lin, please stay!"

This change of tune was quick.

Lin Shanjuan recognized Ji Shihan's voice, raised his eyebrows, turned around and said with a smile: "Grand Master, is there anything else?"

Ji Shihan snorted coldly, "Secretary Lin has now been given an important position. As per custom, I must help him prepare a banquet and invite all my colleagues to celebrate."

Lin Shanjuan showed a smile that didn't reach his eyes:

"Then I would like to thank you, Grand Master. If you have prepared everything, please send someone to inform me directly. I have to go and pick up the princess, so I will not stay here for long. Farewell."

With just a few words, she turned the Grand Tutor into a secretary. Ji Shihan was really pissed off by her again. He cursed her angrily and returned home in anger.

Lin Shanjuan started laughing as soon as he got into the carriage. When he thought of the awkward expressions of the two old ministers, he laughed even more happily.

Bai Shu, who was accompanying the car, asked, "Boss... Lin Si, are we going back to the Princess's Mansion?"

Lin Shanjuan was familiar with this title. Since he had just said that he would go to pick up the princess, it would be difficult for him to go back on his word.

"Go into the palace and pick up the princess."

"Yes."

——Imperial Study——

"...Grand Tutor Ji's expression, oh my god, I've never seen him look so aggrieved! And Prime Minister Qin Wen, hahahaha..."

"...Imperial sister, it's such a pity that you didn't see it!"

Qi Yili had been chattering excitedly since the court session ended. He circled around Qi Zhaomian and gestured, describing the expressions of the two old ministers in great detail, and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

Qi Zhaomian looked at him helplessly. Although he didn't go, he was afraid that Lin Shanjuan himself could not act as exaggerated as him.

"He's shouting and dancing like a king, not at all like a ruler."

These words made Qi Yili suppress his smile, but his face still showed a fascinated look.

"I admire Lin Shanjuan so much. It's just... it's just... Oh, I don't have the words to describe the place she holds in my heart. I've never met such a special woman. She's truly admirable!"

Qi Zhaomian raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel a little wary:

"Does my consort hold such a special place in your heart?"

Qi Yili's smile froze, "Royal sister, you misunderstood. I don't have any other thoughts, it's just pure admiration!"

Qi Zhaomian snorted softly, "She embarrassed Ji Shihan and Qin Wenxiang so much on her first court appearance. She will definitely suffer the consequences in the future."

Qi Yili was not that worried. He was immersed in the state of "my idol can do everything".

He and his sister were the only ones in the imperial study. He quickly squatted beside Qi Zhaomian and helped her massage her legs:

"Hehe, don't we have the Imperial Sister? How could she bear to watch Lin Shanjuan get tripped up by others? Besides, I think Lin Shanjuan is not a brainless pawn. She is very powerful!"

Qi Zhaomian: ...

They had only met a few times, but he called her Lin Shanjuan so intimately, with such a proud tone that if you didn't know, you would think Lin Shanjuan was his concubine.

Otherwise, it would be better to let this kid have less contact with Lin Shanjuan.
