"Let them in," said Emperor Tai'an.
Soon, Duke Su entered with his two sons.
"Your Majesty, this old minister is guilty."
"What crime have you committed?" Shi Yu spoke on behalf of Emperor Tai'an.
"If an elderly person commits a crime, increase, increase, increase the punishment."
The words that Duke Su was about to say were instantly swallowed back.
Shi Yu, who cannot speak, is difficult to deal with.
The talkative Shi Yu is even more difficult to deal with.
She used to only think about it secretly in her heart, but now she's confronting her directly.
“This old minister wants to speak with His Majesty; it is not for a child like you to interrupt.”
Duke Su turned around and completely ignored Shi Yu.
"Ignoring it is terrible." Shi Yu was angry.
It was this old turtle and his family who wanted to harm her.
Shi Yu got angry.
The consequences of Shi Yu getting angry will be severe.
I'll draw a circle and curse you: if you don't tell the truth, your butt will get a beating.
Duke Su listened with a look of disdain.
A little baby is still just a little baby; all they can say are strange and superstitious things.
With that thought in mind, Duke Su continued speaking to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this old minister is guilty."
"This old minister deliberately sent someone to assassinate Princess Shengping."
"Who told her to bully my daughter, my granddaughter, and my grandson?"
Um?
As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Su quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, his old eyes wide open.
What happened? He clearly didn't want to say those things.
How could these words possibly come out of his mouth?
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an was immediately enraged.
"You, Duke Su, actually plotted to harm a member of the royal family."
"She's a member of the royal family, but she was just picked up along the way."
Even if Duke Su covered his mouth, he couldn't stop the truth from coming out of his throat.
"I just want to kill this little devil."
"Ever since this little devil came to the palace, Your Majesty has been unkind to our Su family."
"Your Majesty, you are already so old, you will have to abdicate sooner or later. You might as well abdicate sooner and pass the throne to Prince Jin."
“We’ve been planning this for so long, but who knew you wouldn’t make the Prince of Jin the Crown Prince, but instead made Li Huai’an the Imperial Grandson.”
"How can we swallow this insult?"
"Back then, I was an old minister who fought alongside Your Majesty to conquer the country."
"It's not too much to ask that my grandson become emperor after you die, is it?"
"How dare you!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an was already furious.
"Lord Sun, do you have a death wish?"
"Mmm..."
The fact that such treasonous words came out of the mouth of the Duke of Su startled even himself.
He covered his mouth tightly and shook his head vigorously.
As a result, I couldn't speak, but my buttocks started to hurt for no reason.
It felt like it was about to suddenly split open.
At this moment, Duke Su remembered the curse that Shi Yu had just mentioned.
Immediately, his eyes widened as he looked at Shi Yu.
"It was you, you little devil, who cast this curse!"
"You are an evil spirit!"
"His Majesty has been corrupted by evil spirits and is unable to carry out my great task..."
"Smack!" Emperor Tai'an couldn't hold back any longer and struck it with his sword.
If he didn't want to bear the reputation of a tyrant, he would have already stabbed him in the heart with his sword.
This Duke of Su is really getting worse with age; how dare he curse him like that?
"Guards, throw the entire Su family into the imperial prison."
Emperor Tai'an issued an order.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life!" Empress Su began to feel afraid.
Her whole family is gone, and she's the only one left.
How good could her fate possibly be?
Emperor Tai'an glanced at Empress Su.
"Guards, lock Empress Su in the Cold Palace."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't!" Empress Su pleaded hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I am the woman who has been with you all this way."
Emperor Tai'an waved his hand impatiently, signaling the palace servants to hurry up.
If the Su family hadn't gone too far, why would he have been so heartless?
However, after finishing the task, Emperor Tai'an went to Shi Yu in a flattering manner.
"Yu Yu, I have dealt with all the bad guys. Are you happy now?"
Shi Yu nodded reluctantly, "Yeah, it's...it's alright."
"Yu Yu, do you think I will become a tyrant in the future?"
Emperor Tai'an asked somewhat nervously.
The higher one's position, the more wary one becomes.
"No, I don't know," Shi Yu said.
She really didn't know that.
"Okay, okay, manage it well, don't be afraid."
“There’s still Yu Yu here.”
"Hehe..." Emperor Tai'an was immediately pleased.
He grinned from ear to ear with joy.
Sometimes, Yu's words reassured him a lot.
Before we knew it, the Lunar New Year was approaching.
The entire Xianhe Princess's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, creating a lively atmosphere.
Looking at the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, Shi Yu couldn't help but ask her mother.
"Today is a good day, how about some drinks?"
As soon as Shi Yu uttered that voice, Gua66 in her mind answered for her.
【Yu Yu, you go crazy when you drink.】
Your mother has already banned the presence of wine in the household.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu expressed a slight disappointment.
Oh, no wine.
[With meat but no wine, I suddenly felt something was missing, and suddenly I felt a lot more lonely.]
He Qiuniang paused in her act of serving food to Shi Yu.
This little girl, unable to drink, is now indulging in melancholy and sentimentality.
She had no idea that when she was drunk, she looked like someone everyone disliked and even a dog would reject her.
