Emperor Tai'an couldn't help but mutter to himself.
He didn't do it on purpose.
Who told this little baby to sleep so soundly, I couldn't wake him up no matter how much I shook him?
Why did Emperor Tai'an pinch me?
Shi Yu clenched her fists in anger, glaring fiercely at the old man above her.
The ministers in the court shared the same doubts.
Yes, why does Your Majesty want to mold a little baby?
Oh, does their emperor have some unknown preferences?
That's a bit too young for someone to have such a hobby.
I sensed an eerie atmosphere in the imperial court.
"Ahem..." Emperor Tai'an coughed lightly twice.
His stern eyes swept over the ministers below, who were all watching the spectacle with an air of authority.
What kind of expressions are those?
I am a proper old man.
Moreover, he brought Shi Yu to the court to eat their melons, not for them to eat his melons.
Thinking this, Emperor Tai'an quickly spoke to divert the attention of the baby in his arms.
As long as she gets involved with someone else, he'll be safe.
"Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, what did you just say? Say it again."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review respectfully repeated what he had just said.
He wasn't as serious as he had been before.
What? You're not going to pursue this further?
When Shi Yu, who was in Emperor Tai'an's arms, heard the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review report on Li Baihua's case, she became even more furious.
How can we not pursue this matter?
Li Baihua ruined so many respectable men and women.
Did she ask them if they were willing?
[And she's also a pervert; she enjoys sadomasochism.]
"[This can be forgiven? Gua66, are you sure they weren't threatened or silenced?]" Shi Yu asked indignantly.
Gua66 immediately jumped out to show his skills.
[Yu Yu, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review has accepted a gift from Empress Su.]
"So it was bribery." Shi Yu's sweet, childlike voice instantly felt much more at ease.
I knew it! If I were a man, I wouldn't have made peace just to save face.
This reconciliation is worse than jumping into a well; how can one face others afterward?
[Gua66, hurry up and find out what happened.]
Emperor Tai'an holding Shi Yu.
He might know what happened, could we please not search for it?
At this moment, Emperor Tai'an felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.
I should have asked him a different minister earlier.
It's unlikely that I'll end up getting caught in this mess again.
Ministers of the court: Your Majesty's sacrifice today will be forever remembered.
Emperor Tai'an: Remember what?
Do you want me to exile your entire family or have them all executed?
Oh dear, it's so cold!
The ministers sensed the displeasure emanating from those above and quickly lowered their heads, concealing the curiosity in their eyes.
Just as the atmosphere in the imperial court was tense, Gua66's voice rang out again.
[YuYu, YuYu, I found it!]
It turns out that Empress Su didn't want her daughter to suffer, so she summoned her father to the palace to plead her case.
Then Empress Su's father began visiting each of the victims' homes.
Those who obey will be compensated; those who disobey will be coerced or bribed.
Then, by bribing the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review who was handling the matter, the matter would be considered resolved.
"Officials protect each other, they cover for each other!" Shi Yu's sharp, childlike voice exploded in everyone's minds.
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo, the father of Empress Su, who was standing in the front row, was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive this old minister's good intentions."
The Duke of Zhenguo wept bitterly, banging his head on the ground, immediately playing the victim card.
Shi Yu tilted her head, wanting to go out and see, but found it a bit difficult.
"Who is this person? Why is he crying?" Shi Yu asked in her sweet, childlike voice.
[Was his son also bullied by Li Baihua?]
Gua66: [Yu Yu, this is Empress Su's biological father, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Li Baihua's maternal grandfather.]
"Oh, no wonder," Shi Yu said casually.
[That crying looks so fake; she definitely didn't shed any tears.]
The wailing Duke Zhenguo: What should I do? Is it too late to pinch myself now?
Why did he bully others and then cry so bitterly himself?
[Could he have done something wrong?]
Gua66: [Oh, Yuyu, my search results show that the Duke of Zhenguo is seventy years old and still wets the bed. Does that mean he's done something wrong?]
What? A seventy-year-old still wetting the bed? Hahahaha...
Shi Yu couldn't control himself and burst into maniacal laughter.
【Hahaha……】
I've only ever heard of seven-year-olds wetting the bed, never seventy!
【Hahaha……】
Isn't this Duke Zhenguo afraid that his foul odor will scare people away?
【Hahaha……】
Court officials: Reeking of foul odor?
They said that they often smelled a strange odor in the imperial court, and it turned out to be the smell of the Duke of Zhenguo's urine.
The Duke of Zhenguo felt the disdainful looks from his colleagues, his heart clenched, and he couldn't help but defend himself.
"I've put on the diaper."
What?
Put on a diaper?
So it turns out that bedwetting really does happen.
Instantly, the court officials silently distanced themselves from the Duke of Zhenguo.
The Duke of Zhenguo hurriedly turned around to look at Emperor Tai'an on the dragon throne.
Emperor Tai'an also looked disgusted.
The Duke of Zhenguo knew that if he didn't explain clearly, things would get complicated.
He quickly said, "Your Majesty, please trust this old minister."
