"Your Majesty, please listen to my excuses!" The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review immediately knelt down.

"Soliciting excuses?" Emperor Tai'an raised his majestic eyebrows, as if a thousand pounds of force were pressing down on him.

Realizing he had made a mistake, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review immediately kowtowed and admitted his error.

"Your Majesty, I should not have accepted bribes."

"But Princess Baihua was completely innocent. She only wanted to give all the handsome men in the world a home, but she used the wrong method."

[Silkworm eyes!] Shi Yu, who was in Emperor Tai'an's arms, was surprised.

[This imperial court is indeed full of hidden talents; they can even describe crimes in such a refined way.]

The Minister of Justice, who was kneeling below, straightened his shoulders almost imperceptibly.

That's right, he's the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, he's experienced in sophistry.

Shi Yu's sweet, childlike voice continued to ring out.

[Gua66, if I remember correctly, Xu Wanzhou, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, is the son of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, right?]

Does he know how shameless his father is?

Gua66: [Oh, Yuyu, I know this. The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is on sick leave today.]

Shi Yu, [Is he on sick leave? Is his health that bad?]

Gua66, [It's not that he's physically weak, it's just that his dad always tries to scare his son into fainting before he does anything bad.]

Shi Yu, [Are these two, father and son, really that eccentric?]

Gua66, [Yes, yes.]

【Yu Yu, don't let the cunning and shrewdness of the Minister of Justice fool you; his son is incredibly upright.】

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review tried to persuade his son for a long time but couldn't, so he finally gave up.

[Every time something happens, it scares my son so much he faints.]

Shi Yu pointed at her chubby little face and drew a conclusion.

[So, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review's fainting spell was most likely caused by his father deliberately scaring him.]

The gazes of everyone in the court quietly fell upon the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

Could this person really be someone's father?

Isn't it rumored that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review values ​​his son highly?

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review looked flustered, unable to maintain his composure.

Fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

However, Shi Yu's curiosity was not yet satisfied.

This Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is such an oddball; there must be a lot of scandals surrounding him.

Court officials: That's right, there definitely is.

Gua66, [Yes, Yuyu.]

[This Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was determined to have many sons and enjoy a life of luxury early in his youth.]

[As a result, he accidentally injured his genitals during a case investigation and can no longer have children.]

[Hahaha...] Shi Yu burst out laughing upon hearing this.

Isn't this a case of ideals and hopes going against each other?

Not only did he not have more sons to enjoy a better life, he also had a son who didn't meet his expectations.

【Hahaha……】

Damaged his manhood?

The gazes of everyone in the court involuntarily fell on the crotch of the Minister of Justice.

It is not true that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and his wife were a loving couple with a deep affection for each other.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review loved his wife dearly and was afraid of hurting her, so he did not have any more children or take any concubines.

It turns out the real reason wasn't just that he was impotent, but that he couldn't have children.

Hahaha……

Various gloating gazes fell undisguisedly upon the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

This person doesn't usually do anything good, so when everyone gets the chance, they laugh and laugh to their hearts' content.

"That's utter nonsense, it's completely untrue!"

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who was being teased by everyone, couldn't help but speak up.

Emperor Tai'an, who was listening with great interest on the stage, suddenly turned serious.

The head eunuch came out and reprimanded him.

"How dare you!"

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review turned pale and quickly knelt down.

[This guy still dares to get angry! He accepted bribes and he still thinks he's right?] Shi Yu was a little angry.

If I were the emperor, I would reward him with ten dancers to go back and have children.

[You may return to court only after the child is born.]

Minister: This little baby is so bold!

But this idea... it's like killing someone by attacking their spirit!

If even the Grand Secretary of the Court of Judicial Review is incapable of having children, how can he possibly have them?

This isn't just about cheating on yourself and then having to raise someone else's son.

It's simply too tragic to describe.

Pfft pfft...

The court officials quickly suppressed their laughter, their shoulders trembling as they tried to hold it in.

Emperor Tai'an paused, his hand gently stroking his beard.

A glint flashed in his eyes—excellent!

"My dear minister, I think what you said makes a lot of sense."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review looked up with delight upon hearing this.

He said that since he was working for the royal family, the royal family should reward him.

"Since you sympathize with Princess Baihua, I will reward you with 10 dancers."

"You may return to court only after you have given birth to a son."

"Your Majesty, what should we do about the matter concerning the Court of Judicial Review?" The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review turned pale.

He was certain that His Majesty could hear the baby's voice.

Not only His Majesty could hear it, but everyone in the court could hear it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have looked at him like that.

"You've always wanted to groom your son to be your successor, and I think that's excellent," Emperor Tai'an said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject... thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness." The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review wanted to cry, but he dared not.

He not only couldn't cry, he had to smile and express his gratitude.

It's all that damned sweet voice's fault for exposing his long-hidden secret.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review silently retreated to his original position.

At this point, he, like the Duke of Zhenguo, was dejected.

However, Emperor Tai'an on stage was in a very good mood.

He knew that bringing this little baby to court would have unexpected benefits.
