After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

Qin Yichen ultimately ended the absurd yet exciting competition between Leng Qingge and Lin Ruoxi with a draw.

Under the lingering, reluctant gazes of the two, Qin Yichen slowly and carefully dressed himself, looking radiant.

Without hesitation, he turned and left the room, striding towards the palace.

Before long, Qin Yichen had successfully arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Study.

After standing still, he first looked down and examined his own attire, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it did he lift his right foot to step into the room.

However, just as he put his foot in, suddenly, a thick book flew towards him like a bolt of lightning!

Faced with this sudden attack, Qin Yichen reacted extremely quickly, almost instinctively dodging to the side and easily avoiding the attack of the book.

At the same time, the Qin Emperor's majestic voice, tinged with rage, could be heard from inside the room: "You unfilial son, how dare you come here to me?"

Hearing this, Qin Yichen didn't take it to heart at all, still smiling and looking at Emperor Qin with a cheerful expression.

"Look at what Father Emperor said. It is only natural for a son to visit his father. Besides, when it comes to face, I have inherited Father Emperor's reputation."

hey-hey……

Now let's see what you have to say!

You're calling me shameless?

It's okay, I'll inherit yours anyway.

At that very moment, the Qin Emperor's majestic yet furious voice suddenly rang out from inside the room: "You unfilial son, how dare you come here to see me?"

Hearing this, Qin Yichen didn't take it to heart at all. He still had a faint smile on his face, and his bright eyes looked happily towards where the Qin Emperor was.

Qin Yichen spoke slowly and deliberately: "Oh dear, Father, what are you saying? It is only natural and right for a son to come and visit his father."

"Besides, when it comes to 'face,' haven't I perfectly inherited your excellent genes, Father?"

At this point, he deliberately revealed a sly smile.

hey-hey……

At this moment, Qin Yichen secretly felt smug: Now let's see how you can criticize me now!

Dare to say I'm shameless? No problem, I inherited this thick skin from you anyway.

Emperor Qin immediately understood the implied meaning in his words, but he did not respond directly. He simply glared at Qin Yichen and then casually asked, "Have you come about the Ye family?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yichen was slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised that the Qin Emperor had so easily guessed his intentions.

But soon he seemed to suddenly realize something. His relationship with Zhou Yunjin could not escape the Qin Emperor's notice, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

Immediately afterwards, a torrent of praise poured forth towards the Qin Emperor: "Father, you are truly wise and mighty, exceptionally intelligent, insightful, and a master of foresight..."

However, before Qin Yichen could finish speaking, the Qin Emperor impatiently shouted, "Shut up! Get to the point!"

Startled by the Emperor's shout, Qin Yichen quickly dropped his playful demeanor and replied, "Your subject has indeed come here regarding the Ye family's affairs."

The Qin Emperor frowned slightly. "Hmph, I have my own considerations regarding the Ye family's affairs. Don't meddle in other people's business."

Qin Yichen became anxious upon hearing this and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Father, the Ye family is loyal and devoted. How can I stand idly by and watch them suffer such injustice?"

The Qin Emperor slammed his fist on the table. “What do you know? The affairs of the court are complicated and the forces behind them are deeply entrenched. What are you doing getting involved, you powerless prince?”

Dad, what you said really hurt!

Powerless and without influence?

Is this what I wanted?

Qin Yichen took a deep breath, "Your subject knows the difficulties involved, but your subject has a close relationship with the matriarch of the Ye family, and cannot stand idly by and do nothing!"

The Emperor's eyes sharpened as he scrutinized Qin Yichen. "I have heard about your affair with the matriarch of the Ye family, but you must not let personal feelings interfere with important matters."

Qin Yichen looked firmly at the Qin Emperor and said, "Your subject did not act on impulse, but made this decision after careful consideration."

The Qin Emperor remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What are your thoughts? If they are reasonable, I will consider adopting them!"

Overjoyed, Qin Yichen could hardly contain his excitement and blurted out the thought in his mind: "Send troops to suppress the bandits!"

These four words resounded like thunder in the air.

"Send troops to suppress the bandits?"

Emperor Qin frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Qin Yichen, his tone tinged with doubt and dissatisfaction, "You make it sound so easy. The events that befell the Ye family alone are not enough to warrant the court mobilizing troops to suppress the bandits!"

As he spoke, a hint of disappointment flickered in the Emperor Qin's eyes as he looked at Qin Yichen. He shook his head slightly and sighed, "You are still too young and impetuous. You are easily swayed by emotions and do not know how to think things through."

However, Qin Yichen ignored the fleeting look of disappointment in Qin Di's eyes and persisted in his opinion without backing down.

He took a step forward, head held high, and said loudly, "The matter of the Ye family may not be a sufficient reason for the court to send troops to suppress bandits, but what if it concerns the people of the entire Qin Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, the Qin Emperor was taken aback, a look of confusion on his face, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Qin Yichen took a deep breath and slowly said, "Bandits are at odds with officials and compete with the people for profit. The world has suffered from bandits for too long!"

"However, bandits are born from the people, and people live for the country. In the end, it was the Qin Dynasty that forced the people to become outlaws. If everyone had enough to eat, wear, and live well, who would risk their lives?"

"Ultimately, it is because the Qin Dynasty failed to enable its people to live and work in peace. The key to completely solving the bandit problem lies in improving people's livelihoods and preventing them from being forced onto this path of no return."

Upon hearing this, the Qin Emperor's face instantly darkened, and he roared, "Stop spouting nonsense and arbitrarily labeling me with such a serious accusation!"

Do you know how many bandit groups are in the Qin territory? How many people are there? And how much money and resources are needed to suppress them?

"The main issue is, does the imperial court not want to suppress the bandits? No, it's just that every attempt to suppress the bandits ends in failure; as soon as the army arrives, the bandits disappear without a trace!"

Qin Yichen smiled slightly, showing no fear. "Father, I am aware of these difficulties. But I have a good plan to suppress the bandits, without using a single soldier from the court, and even... there will be a profit!"

"Without using a single soldier from the imperial court? And there's even a profit to be made?"

The Qin Emperor snorted coldly, "Tell me about it."
