Wu Ziyu was almost going crazy, cursing Su Juan.
They scolded her for being hypocritical, for appearing to be respectful to the emperor but in fact she was calling him an old bitch in her heart.
Su Juan was shocked, [Fuck! She can really hear what I'm thinking! ]
【Oh my god, what’s wrong with you!? 】
[Wait... Could it be that other people can hear it too? ]
There was silence all around. Su Juan looked around calmly, staring at everyone suspiciously.
The old emperors are all good at pretending.
First, Xie Xun sneered, "This is the nth time Miss Wu has said this. How is it possible that someone in this world can hear what others are thinking?"
Duke Ping echoed, "I'm afraid he's talking nonsense because he's afraid of being punished by your majesty."
The old emperor looked at Minister Wu, frowning slightly, "Minister Wu, is your granddaughter suffering from hysteria?"
"Would you like to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"
Minister Wu was extremely terrified and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern on behalf of your granddaughter!"
If other people still had doubts in their hearts, Su Juan would feel truly relieved when she saw Liu Xuan, because Liu Xuan never lied.
These people didn't seem to be able to hear her at all, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. [I was so scared. I thought everyone could hear her. That's really unbelievable.]
[But think about it, if the old emperor and the others could really hear what I'm thinking, I'd probably have moved my head a thousand times, right?]
The old emperor almost ordered people to drag down Shangshu Wu's crazy granddaughter and beat her to death with sticks. Only now did he calm down a little.
Fortunately, you have some self-awareness, which means I am wise and don't do those stupid things that lead to slander and condemn others.
Su Juan knelt on the ground, weeping, "Your Majesty, I am a loyal minister and I have never dared to be disrespectful to Your Majesty and the others!"
"I do not admit this crime, nor do I dare to admit it!"
Wu Ziyu's face turned red with anger. She looked at her father and grandfather, "Father, Grandpa, can't you hear me?"
Minister Wu's face turned pale, "Zi Yu, Your Majesty, are you trying to defile someone like this?"
Su Juan was surprised, "Is Minister Wu so upright? He doesn't even believe his granddaughter's words."
[But it's also true that being able to hear other people's thoughts is just bullshit. I don't believe it either.]
Wu Ziyu's eyes were red. She didn't understand why these people didn't help her. Even her grandfather, father, uncles, all pretended not to hear her.
She was angry and sad, tears streaming down her face, "Your Majesty! I really didn't lie!"
The old emperor was extremely disappointed. He waved his hand and signaled the Wu family to take Wu Ziyu away.
Su Juan met Wu Ziyu's gaze, which was like a knife, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces. She sighed, "Since Yu was born, why was Liang born?"
Wu Ziyu was dragged away by Wu's father, accompanied by two slaps, which scared Su Juan.
She was still a little confused, [But how could Wu Ziyu hear what I was thinking? ]
[Could it be that she is some kind of chosen daughter... No, no, no! Whose chosen daughter is so stupid? ]
Xie Xun almost laughed out loud, it was really stupid.
The Wu family members were dissatisfied. What did stupid mean? What Zi Yu said was clearly the truth, but the old emperor was pretending to be confused. How could they dare to say anything, unless they didn't want to live anymore.
[I don't know how Minister Wu, who was so smart all his life, could raise such a simple-minded granddaughter. ]
Su Juan almost shook her head. If she could hear what other people were thinking, she would never speak it out loud easily, otherwise she would be regarded as a monster.
The old emperor snorted coldly in his heart. This Minister Wu almost ruined my great plan!
He spoke in a low voice, carrying the pressure of an emperor, "Mr. Wu, no matter how busy you are with official duties, you must not neglect the discipline of the younger generation."
"Your Majesty is right in reprimanding me. I know I am wrong." Shangshu Wu lowered his face and prepared to face the anger. His mind was buzzing with Su Juan's words just now.
He didn't want to believe the words of Su Juan, a woman from the inner house, but every time she said something was so accurate that it was frightening.
Your Majesty has no children, so sooner or later you will have to select a capable person from among your relatives to be the crown prince. With the ever-changing situation in the court, how many people are not involved?
Prince Jing is your Majesty's brother from the same mother, and logically should be the most reasonable candidate. However, everyone in the court knows that he has no interest in government affairs and has wanted to resign several times, let alone the crown prince.
The King of Han has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he is obsessed with war. He is too bloodthirsty. How can such a man be qualified for the job?
From this perspective, King Heng is the most suitable one. Although he is a little mediocre, are all kings in history extremely smart?
When he first chose Prince Heng, Shangshu Wu had never doubted his decision. But now, Su Juan's words made him hesitate and afraid. Could it be that he was wrong to support Prince Heng, and it would really bring disaster to the Wu family!?
His heart was pounding, his eyes were dark, and he was about to faint.
Seeing this, Su Juan muttered to herself, "Isn't Minister Wu going to pretend to faint like others?"
Minister Wu: “…” Even if I die here, I will never faint!
The old emperor coughed lightly. Things had come to this point. If he investigated further, Su Juan would inevitably notice something.
He immediately acted impartially and said, "I think Miss Wu is having a hysterical attack, which is why she caused all these troubles."
[That's right, this hysteria needs to be treated. Don't scare me anymore. I'm almost scared to death.]
"My dear nobles, in my opinion, this matter should be left at this point. Let's disperse. The end of the year is approaching, so please don't cause any trouble."
[The old emperor is quite lazy and just wants to take a vacation.]
The old emperor's forehead twitched violently. Who am I doing this for?
Who am I doing this for!?
The old emperor was deeply distressed. This Su concubine really didn't understand his good intentions at all!
How could the Wu family dare to have any objections? They bowed to the old emperor, apologized to the Pingguo family on behalf of Wu Ziyu, and then ran away in shame.
Duke Ping snorted coldly, not appreciating it at all, but he didn't hold on to it.
After all, things have come to this point, and anyone who still holds on to it will be at odds with the old emperor.
When the group left, Su Juan glanced at the warm clothes next to her and said, "Oh, I'll get another one for Duke Ping tomorrow."
When Duke Ping heard this, his eyes lit up. This girl is so nice. She always thinks about him.
He immediately felt regretful. How could such a good girl not be his own daughter?
There is no harm without comparison. At this time, Duke Ping looked at Xie Xun again with disgust in his eyes. He was unlike this son who was incompetent at anything and only knew how to squander the family's money.
Xie Xun: “???” What kind of look?!
Can you blame me for not being able to give birth to a daughter?
As soon as these people left, the old emperor held the warm clothes in his hands, as if he had found a treasure, "Look, what a wonderful thing."
The eunuch smiled and said, "Yes, this Lord Su is really very wise."
The old emperor narrowed his eyes and laughed happily. Although Su Juan was a little annoying sometimes, she was still useful most of the time.
...
Outside the palace, on the road, Sheng Pingbo coughed several times, rubbed his palms, and muttered that he was cold. Then he changed the subject, "Xiao Su...it's cold, you must take care of yourself."
Su Juan, who was suddenly addressed by Sheng Pingbo, who she had no contact with on weekdays, said: "?"
