Gua66, [Yuyu, I found this too!]

This Lord Zhao is nearing the end; his concubines are all packing their things and preparing to flee.

Is he about to die?

Lord Zhao's already pale face turned even paler in an instant.

At this moment, Lord Zhao wanted to cry.

He thought back carefully and realized that he had worked diligently all these years and didn't seem to have done anything immoral.

Why did fate have to take his life at such a young age?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can no longer be loyal to you."

Unable to contain his grief, Lord Zhao knelt down, weeping.

"Your Majesty, I am foolish and ignorant, but I am grateful for Your Majesty's magnanimity and for never holding it against me."

"Now that I am about to die, I still give the same advice."

"Your Majesty, you should read more books and practice your calligraphy in the future. I can't understand most of your corrections."

Emperor Tai'an was initially in a rather somber mood.

Hearing what Lord Zhao said, all the sadness vanished instantly.

Oh dear! I've made him worry unnecessarily.

This guy's asking for it, he deserves a beating!

Just as Lord Zhao was crying so bitterly, almost reciting a memorial to the emperor, much like Zhuge Liang, he was about to deliver a memorial to the emperor.

Shi Yu's delicate face, which had been contorted with worry for a long time, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

[Gua66, is this person crazy?]

[It's just a parasitic disease. Just cook snails thoroughly when you eat them in the future, or avoid eating raw or pickled foods.]

He was crying as if he were really about to die.

Minister of the Gossip: Huh? Parasites?

Emperor Tai'an: Am I not dead?

Lord Zhao: He didn't mishear.

Gua66, [He probably encountered a quack doctor.]

This Lord Zhao has been suffering from frequent vomiting and diarrhea lately, along with severe abdominal pain and bloody, purulent stools.

[Having encountered an incompetent doctor who couldn't cure him quickly, Lord Zhao probably assumed he was incapable of healing himself.]

Shi Yu, [I just saw him picking his butt.]

[Is he having diarrhea again?]

Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao: He didn't... *sobs*

"If you're sick, go see the imperial physician." Emperor Tai'an waved his hand dismissively, his head throbbing.

Why is this little baby's system acting so strangely this time?

It startled him!

Lord Zhao was helped down.

There was a large, suspicious patch of blood on his buttocks.

When he returned home early from court, he saw his steward pulling a carriage, preparing to abscond with the money along with his concubines.

This angered Lord Zhao so much that he shouted loudly in the street.

"I'm not dead yet, and you're already trying to abscond with the money!"

"Take them down! Those who deserve family discipline, do it; those who deserve to be sold off, sell them off!"

"As expected, only my wife truly understands me. My wife..."

Lord Zhao went back to his first wife in tears.

Another case involving a concubine.

This has caused great anxiety and unease among families who recently wanted to take concubines.

Their fear is that what they bring back is worthless.

For a time, the trend of upper-class figures taking concubines in the capital was somewhat curbed.

Many families even conducted their own investigations into their concubines.

Unexpectedly, an investigation revealed that many powerful and wealthy families in the capital had lost a significant number of concubines.

It was a scene of perfect harmony, with the ladies all beaming with pride.

A pretty but cheap woman, someone who uses her looks to please others, is simply not respectable.

When it comes to sharing joys and sorrows, their original spouses are truly the most magnanimous.

The morning court session was particularly nerve-wracking for Shi Yu, who was gossiping about the gossip.

The emperor noticed that the efficiency of today's court session was significantly higher than yesterday's.

The group of ministers stopped arguing and peacefully resolved many of Emperor Tai'an's problems.

After the court session, Emperor Tai'an prepared a large table of delicious food for Shi Yu.

He could also see that this little guy didn't have any dietary restrictions and had an incredibly strong digestive system.

If we can make her happy, many of the problems with attending court will be solved.

"Is it delicious?" Emperor Tai'an said to Shi Yu.

"As long as you come to court every day, Uncle will have someone prepare delicious food for you every day."

Do they come to court every day?

Shi Yu stopped eating instantly.

Does that mean she has to get up very early every day?

Shi Yu's delicate face couldn't help but show a hint of distress.

Eat melon seeds, sleep in late, sleep in late, eat melon seeds, eat melon seeds, sleep in late...

It seems like just watching the drama unfold is more important.

Shi Yu's conflicted little face instantly broke into a smile.

Anyway, there are still many juicy stories to be told by the court officials.

Let's eat first and then talk about it.

Once she's full, she can skip court again. Does Emperor Tai'an really think he can hold a grudge against a little baby like her?

Thinking this, Shi Yu happily gave Emperor Tai'an an OK sign.

Emperor Tai'an didn't understand, so he tried to gesture with his hand.

What does this mean?

He looked at Shi Yan, who was diligently taking care of Shi Yu's meals, standing beside her.

To be honest, although his son's origins are unclear and he doesn't know how he came to be, he's quite capable.

At least Shi Yu was taken good care of.

Shi Yan glanced at Emperor Tai'an and began to translate.

“Yu Yu said yes.”

"That's wonderful! That's great!" Emperor Tai'an exclaimed happily.

"Guards, bestow the reward!"

"Yu Yu said that if you're going to reward someone, reward them with gold. She likes sincere gestures, not empty platitudes."

"Good." Emperor Tai'an laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Perhaps because there were too many liars in the court, Emperor Tai'an actually quite liked Shi Yu's straightforward and honest nature.
