Zu An then took this opportunity to say to Shi Jun, "You keep saying that you are in charge of supervising the appearance of all officials, so let me ask you, what crime is it if an official is not dressed properly and his pants are not even on?"

Shi Jun subconsciously replied, "Of course, it is a crime of disrespecting the imperial court and being disrespectful. One will be dismissed from office and investigated, and in serious cases, one may be exiled."

After I finished speaking, he was stunned. Why should I answer him? The most important thing right now is to capture this guy.

Just as he was about to urge the Imperial Guards to act again, Zuan's mocking voice rang out: "Oh, I was just about to remind you, your pants have fallen down."

"Nonsense, don't think that way..." Shi Jun scoffed, but halfway through his sentence, he felt a chill on his legs. Looking down, he saw that his pants had fallen down to his knees, and he froze on the spot.

Zu'an said to the Imperial Guards beside him, "This man's demeanor is improper. Why don't you seize him, dismiss him from his post, investigate him, and exile him to the frontier?"

The imperial guards nodded subconsciously, but then felt something was amiss and didn't know what to do.

The surrounding area erupted in an uproar, creating an even bigger commotion than before.

The officials who had just passed by merely observed with indifference, but now everyone was eagerly gathering around to watch, with many secretly making comments:

"The people of the Shi family are quite good-looking; they are all fair-skinned and clean-cut."

"But there's hardly any hair on his legs, so he doesn't look manly at all."

"Hmm, she's wearing such flashy shorts underneath, yet she looks so refined, so refined!"

...

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Shi Jun looked up at the sky, his voice sharp and mournful: "No!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.

Spitting out such a mouthful of blood looks frightening, but given his cultivation level, it's actually harmless.

But that would be too embarrassing; in this situation, it's best to just pretend to faint.

They're all damned Zu'an bastards!

Anger from Shi Jun: +1024 +1024 +1024...

Taking advantage of the chaos at the palace gates, Zu'an slipped directly into the palace, secretly thinking with disdain: "They still want to play by the rules with me? Don't they know I'll flip the table and refuse to play?"

He arrived at the East Palace and idly played a few games of Go with the fat Crown Prince. Each time, he made the Crown Prince yell in frustration, which made Xiao Xu and Xiao He, who were watching from the side, secretly break out in a cold sweat. The Grand Master was really bold, daring not to let the Crown Prince win.

Time passed quickly, and soon the court assembly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony ended. The Crown Princess returned from outside with a solemn expression: "Summon all the officials directly under the Crown Prince's command. There is a matter of life and death to discuss!"
