Despite the complaints, the situation was beyond my control, so I had no choice but to follow them to the Imperial Study.
Upon entering the imperial study, noticing the emperor's gloomy expression, he immediately and tactfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The other party is in a bad mood right now, so it's best not to provoke them.
The emperor grunted in response, then picked up a memorial and said, "Today someone impeached you for committing violence at the palace gate, assaulting Shi Jun, who was in charge of supervising the appearance of all officials. Is this true?"
"I'm innocent! I've done nothing wrong, but Shi Jun is deliberately targeting me..." Zu An was about to explain when the emperor interrupted him.
"What I'm curious about is something else entirely. Why did his pants fall down when you said they did? According to intelligence, during your last battle with Han Fengqiu, it was also because you said something that his pants fell down," the emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened. "You do have the blood of the dragon race, and the power of their words?"
Zu An hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, please understand. On my way to the capital, the Dragon Clan tried to kill me. How could I possibly have any connection with them, and I have no knowledge of any Word Spirit skills?"
These skills must never be told to the emperor, or he will definitely die a terrible death. No emperor will trust someone who is out of his control.
"Then why did their pants fall down? I don't believe it's such a coincidence." The emperor looked at him coldly. One of them was at the peak of the ninth rank, and the other was at the seventh rank. How could their pants fall down so easily?
Zu An hurriedly explained, "I'm still clueless about how Han Fengqiu's pants fell down, but that incident gave me an idea. Shi Jun was trying to intimidate me with his appearance, so I secretly cut his belt when I got close to him and slapped him. He was in a state of extreme shock and anger at the time and didn't notice."
The emperor was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You little rascal, you're quite the character. You've really messed with Shi Jun. He probably won't have the face to continue supervising the appearance of all the officials."
Seeing him smile, Zuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, I reacted quickly.
However, the emperor is truly heartless. The Shi family has made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the head of the Shi family is one of the eight highly respected dukes in the court. Yet, he doesn't care about the Shi family's reputation at all. He must be angry that they have sided with the Prince of Qi.
At this moment, the emperor said again, "You must have heard about the Crown Prince's grand examination. You've always been full of clever ideas, do you have any solutions?"

I should have made up for yesterday's; thankfully I kept my promise.
