If he had not heard Chu Xiaoxiao's inner voice, he would not have known any of this, let alone that Prince Duan had bribed most of the court officials.
Very good, bribe them! Bribe them all, and let him confiscate their houses and take the silver back to the national treasury.
Prince Duan kept crying poor, and the silver he was supposed to pay was either halved or could not be collected at all.
Oh! It turns out that all the money was spent on bribing court officials.
The Dali Temple will naturally take over the investigation of General Liu's case, and the final verdict will depend on the emperor's wishes.
The emperor didn't want to make a judgment so quickly, so he put the man in jail first and would make the decision later.
Once something happened to General Liu, it was impossible for Liu Chanru to enter the Pingning Marquis' Mansion. She was the daughter of a criminal and a widow, so the prince of the Pingning Marquis' Mansion would never take her in as his wife.
This meant that her plan to harm Chu Zhiyin failed, and she ended up making a fool of herself, becoming a topic of conversation among the people in the capital.
The next morning, Chu Xiaoxiao was forced to work again while she was sleeping. Chu Zhinan and Yang sent her to the palace gate.
What’s strange is that several adults today were holding babies in their arms.
When Eunuch Yuanbao came over and saw this, he was dumbfounded. The ministers kept handing the children in their hands to him to look at.
"Eunuch Yuanbao, take a look at my granddaughter. She is almost one year old and is prettier than the baby in the Duke of Huguo's mansion."
"This one at my house is not bad either. Eunuch Yuanbao, take a look at this child of mine. He is very pretty, with big twinkling eyes. He is so rare."
"And this one in my hand, take a look, isn't it smarter than the one in the Protectorate Mansion? The emperor will definitely like it when he sees it."
"And I..."
"My..."
Chu Xiaoxiao was awakened by the noise of the crowd. She rubbed her eyes, got up from Chu Zhinan's arms, and looked at the people around her holding children. She felt so fresh.
[Ahaha! These people brought their babies to keep me company? Not bad, not bad, the court has become a kindergarten, the Emperor of Dongsheng has never been like this before and will never be like this again.]
Chu Zhinan: “…”
My Xiaoxiao is right. The emperor is unprecedented and will never be surpassed. You, a baby, have to suffer the punishment of going to court with him. I didn't expect that there are adults who are willing to follow suit. It's really crazy.
Eunuch Yuanbao looked embarrassed. He symbolically looked at the baby girls in the arms of the adults, said nothing, and reached out to take Chu Xiaoxiao away.
The emperor was waiting for her in the imperial study. He was very happy to see that she was awake today and took out a warm bottle of milk and handed it to her.
"Xiaoxiao, you must be hungry! Drink some milk first, and then we'll go over."
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate to take it and started drinking it, slurping loudly, while complaining in her heart as she drank.
[The court officials really have good intentions! I hope the emperor won't be shocked when he sees this. Hahaha! The officials of Dongsheng have no other abilities, but they are very good at flattering and following the trend.]
The emperor looked at Eunuch Yuanbao and asked unhappily, "Did you encounter anything strange today?"
Eunuch Yuanbao bowed and replied, "Several adults came to court with their children in their arms."
"Oh? Hahaha!" The emperor laughed out loud, "Interesting, interesting."
Everyone was so shameless as to try to make him laugh.
[Humph! What's so interesting? They are clearly trying to please you, and you think it's interesting? They are actually trying to ruin your reputation!]
emperor:"......"
Ruined my reputation? It doesn't matter, they are not that capable. Little ancestor! Didn't you tell me to follow you? From now on, I will follow you.
After Chu Xiaoxiao finished drinking the milk, she put the bottle on the table and burped.
The emperor picked her up and went to the throne room.
Looking down, he saw that there were indeed several ministers holding children in their arms. His face darkened, "I brought Chu Xiaoxiao from the Duke of Protectorate Mansion to the court because I thought she was smart and interesting. There is no one else like her in the world.
What do you mean by bringing your children to court? Do you want to win my favor? "
Today, Chu Xiaoxiao drank enough milk and was in very good spirits. She stood on the dragon throne and looked at the people below.
[Oh my! Liar! Liar! Every one of them is a liar. ]
emperor:"......"
Liar? What did they do? Tell me now.
[The doll in purple clothes is a servant's child, and has nothing to do with the person holding her. The others are all the same.]
"Master Yuan! Whose child do you hold in your arms?"
The emperor looked coldly at the baby in purple clothes with a stern expression on his face.
Grand Tutor Yuan bowed and replied, "Your Majesty! This is my little granddaughter."
After listening to this, Chu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and pointed at him, smiling with her eyes curved.
[He is not afraid of blushing when telling lies. The child is obviously the granddaughter of the doorman and his wife, but he actually said that she is his granddaughter. His granddaughter is ugly and unbearable, so he chose the doorman's granddaughter.]
"Master Yuan!" The emperor suddenly raised his voice, "I want to hear the truth."
After saying this, he was afraid of scaring Chu Xiaoxiao, so he glanced at her subconsciously. The little girl was not afraid at all. She stood there, holding the armrest of the dragon chair, with a look of gloating in her eyes.
emperor:"......"
Why does she look like that?
[He dared not say it, and would insist that she was his granddaughter. Grand Tutor Yuan was also the man of Prince Duan, but he was very smooth, and Prince Duan gave him a lot of gold and silver but he refused to accept them. He was given three beauties but he accepted them. No one knew that the Grand Tutor, who was in a high position on the surface, was very promiscuous in private, and he liked to lick women's butt cracks.]
After hearing this, the emperor was filled with disgust. His Grand Master actually liked women's butt cracks? This was too shocking, wasn't it? Did Prince Duan know about his fetish?
"Your Majesty, calm down! This child is truly my granddaughter."
"Nonsense!" The emperor could no longer bear it and exposed her in public. "She is obviously the granddaughter of the couple who work at your house. Why do you insist on saying she is your granddaughter? Do you want me to go to your house and invite the couple to confront you?"
Grand Tutor Yuan fell to his knees with panic in his eyes. How did the emperor know such a secret matter?
Chu Zhinan below was also quite furious at this moment. Why could the emperor hear Xiaoxiao's voice? He didn't think that the emperor had sent someone to plant in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
It must be his daughter's inner voice that told him.
When he raised his eyes and saw his daughter smiling happily and looking at Master Yuan with sparkling eyes, he became more certain.
Just because the emperor is her fool, he can hear her voice?
"Your Majesty! You are mistaken. This child is indeed my granddaughter."
The emperor looked at Grand Tutor Yuan and snorted coldly, "Grand Tutor, you actually think that I made a wrong judgment. I even know that you have three more beautiful concubines in your house and I like to lick their butt cracks. Is there anything else in the Grand Tutor's house that I don't know?"
This statement shocked the whole court, and the officials could no longer suppress their gossipy hearts.
"Master Yuan actually likes to lick a woman's butt crack? Oh my god! How can he put his mouth on that place? Isn't it disgusting?"
"What is poison to me may be honey to others. Everyone has their own preferences. What you find unpalatable may be the most delicious and fragrant place in the eyes of Grand Tutor Yuan."
"Don't you find it strange? How did the emperor know about the Grand Tutor's Mansion? Does the emperor have his own spies? Specializing in investigating the secrets of ministers' families?"
emperor:"......"
I don’t have any spies, I have Chu Xiaoxiao.
