However, just as the thought crossed Lin Yi's mind, the face of the young Emperor, who was smiling, suddenly froze.
This damn scoundrel dare to curse at me!
It seems that I have been too merciful indeed.
Thus, the originally smiling face immediately turned stern, and then, with a cold gaze sweeping over Lin Yi, he spoke:
"You have heard what just happened. From now on, both the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites belong to me, and this is all thanks to you!
I should have rewarded you, but outside the city walls, your actions almost ruined my reputation.
So, with one merit and one demerit, they should cancel each other out."
With these words, Lin Yi's face instantly fell:
Look at this, is this even human talk? What does it mean by one merit and one demerit canceling each other out?
Can the deeds outside the city walls be blamed on me?
Furthermore, if I hadn't helped you save face, you probably wouldn't have been able to step down today!
