Although he said he was embarrassed, Shen Zhiyi's eyes were shining and he was looking forward to it.
After drinking the medicine, Duke Su soon woke up again.
The old emperor looked at the bowl of medicine with some curiosity.
"Duke Su, your medicine soup is good. Did you wake up after drinking it?"
[Does the old emperor want to say that Duke Su is pretending to be unconscious? ]
Duke Su pretended not to hear and began to introduce his bowl of medicine to the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, this medicine is a recipe I got from countless famous doctors. It is very effective. Your Majesty can try it. If Your Majesty likes it, I will tell you the prescription."
Shen Zhiyi held his breath and watched the old emperor take the bowl of medicine that the servant had refilled.
Aunt Cheng in the tree behind paused for a moment and immediately disappeared from the spot.
The old emperor stirred it a few times, threw the spoon aside, and prepared to swallow it with deep emotion.
At this time, Chen Decai received the news from the secret Dragon Scale Guards. His expression changed drastically and he stretched out Erkang's hand.
"Your Majesty, you cannot drink!"
Duke Suguo didn't like to hear this.
He knew that he would not be able to escape this time, but if he could contribute the medicine prescription, it would also be able to offset some of his sins.
This damn eunuch, what does that mean?
Chen Decai hurriedly whispered something in the old emperor's ear, and the old emperor put down the bowl in his hand without hesitation.
"Ahem, Duke Su, you will give the prescription of the decoction to Chen Decai later. As for your son, his place in the exam this year will be voided, and you will be fined one year's salary."
When Duke Su heard this, he knelt down immediately.
"Your Majesty, all the mistakes are my fault. If you don't want to give me twenty lashes of the cane, please give my son a chance."
"Humph, if I had known this would happen, why would I have done it in the first place, Duke Su?"
Duke Su felt like he was going to faint again, but at this moment his stomach rumbled and an impulse rushed directly towards a certain place.
Duke Su straightened up, trying to hold back his anger while continuing to plead with the old emperor.
But in the end, I couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Your Majesty, I have three urgent matters to deal with. Please forgive me."
As he spoke, the sixty-year-old man suddenly walked briskly and disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.
About a short while passed.
"ah--"
A scream resounded throughout the Duke Su's Mansion.
【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. 】
The old emperor wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his face.
It was a close call, I almost drank it.
Fortunately, he was the one who almost fell into the toilet.
[I was so scared just now, I almost thought the old emperor was going to drink. ]
The old emperor: Damn girl! Why didn’t you make a sound at that time?
[Oh my god, Duke Su accidentally ate some shit. ]
[It's okay, it's your own shit anyway, you can't despise yourself. ]
"puff."
The court official who had been able to hold back his laughter suddenly broke down.
The old emperor suppressed his smile and returned to the palace in a happy mood.
On the way, the usually serious Minister of Justice couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Although Shen Zhiyi's move was hurtful, it made people feel relaxed. The Minister of Justice, who had been holding back his anger all night, felt that he walked a lot more briskly.
After returning, the Minister of Justice spread the matter throughout the Ministry of Justice.
The news from the Ministry of Justice spread throughout the entire Secretariat.
The Secretariat was then passed on to the other two provinces.
Afterwards, all the civil and military officials in the court knew that Duke Su had fallen into the toilet.
The happiest person among them was the prince's son, the emperor's grandson of Daye.
The emperor's grandson was so moved that he wished he could go meet Duke Su right away and become sworn brothers with him on the spot.
We are both wanderers in this world, so why should we know each other when we meet?

After leaving the Duke Su's Mansion, Shen Zhiyi originally wanted to find a teahouse to listen to storytelling, but was intercepted by Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites halfway.
"Chen Lang, today is a wonderful day to enjoy yourself."
Shen Zhiyi nodded in agreement.
[Indeed, indeed, it is a good day to avenge one's great vengeance. ]
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites said: "That's right, but it's also my fault. If I hadn't dragged you to eat that roast duck, you wouldn't have had diarrhea for two days. How about this, as an apology, I will invite Shen Lang to the Zhuangyuan Building."
"Zhuangyuan Building?"
"Yes, the top scholar's eight-treasure duck is a specialty of Dajing."
Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, "Let's go!"
[It's a rare opportunity that I don't have to follow the old emperor around all day. I have to enjoy this rare free time.]
[However, it seems that this Zhuangyuan Building was named after the new Minister of Personnel who once lived there for an exam. The store was later renamed Zhuangyuanlang. The new Minister of Personnel can get 10% of the profit from the Zhuangyuan Building every year.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, you really make money just by lying down. 】
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites explained: "The Minister of Personnel won the top three places in the imperial examinations, which is rare in a hundred years. The last time this happened was three hundred years ago. The business of the Zhuangyuan Building has increased countless times because of the Minister of Personnel. After that, many people fought hard to live in it every time there was an imperial examination."
"Chen Lang, why don't you guess how much money it costs to stay in this Zhuangyuan Building for one night?"
Shen Zhiyi did not cheat through the system, but made a bold guess.
"One hundred taels of silver a night?"
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites shook his head: "No, no."
Shen Zhiyi stretched out three fingers: “Three, three hundred taels?”
"That's not right." Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites held up a finger and said, "A full one thousand taels of gold!"
"Huang, gold?"
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath.
[Oh my god, you are all so rich, I am the only official who is really poor. ]
