"You heard it but didn't tell me!"
"Who dares to say that? Such an unbelievable thing!"
After a moment of silence, someone asked doubtfully, "Then could it be that the Emperor is..."
Someone shook his head: "The Emperor probably couldn't hear it. I observed carefully, even if that witch cursed the Emperor in her heart, the Emperor didn't show any anger. I'm afraid only we can hear it."
On that day, a piece of news was quietly circulated among the court officials, and everyone finally knew the strange thing that they could hear the voices of others, except for the Xu family. The Xu family was educating their daughter on the concept of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism behind closed doors. Xu Jiao had a well-behaved look on her face, but she kept complaining in her heart. This shocked the Xu couple. Why was their daughter like this?
But fortunately, only her family can hear her inner thoughts, so all we have to do is ask her to talk less.
Another rumor also spread from a eunuch in the palace.
Xu Jiao once stayed alone with the emperor after retiring from court. It is unclear what they talked about. All we know is that the emperor changed his attitude after Xu Jiao left, and then the Minister of Revenue suffered.
When they went to court again, all the officials were worried. Before, they just watched the incident, but now they realized the seriousness of the problem.
Not to mention why he could hear the witch's inner voice, the terrifying thing was that the witch actually knew the secrets of many court officials! Although the emperor couldn't hear the inner voice, the witch dared to accept the complaint by relying on her position as the Censor!
Xu Jiao had no idea what they were thinking. After all, she had no idea that her entire mental activity was being broadcast.
"Why hasn't Crown Prince come yet? It's so annoying to see that emperor all day long."
"Hehe, the Ministry of Revenue Minister Liu Lezhang's house was confiscated. He deserved it. He did so many bad things. On top of that, he actually grabbed my face when I was a kid!"
Some people even had difficulty breathing.
Fang Zhiyi still maintained his usual expression.
"That's the Right Prime Minister, right? What's he going to do? Oh, report on the disaster? I was wondering why Guo Hongru isn't here. Was he sent away to provide disaster relief? This kind of thing should be handled by my brother, the Crown Prince. If he doesn't, who will expose the true colors of these corrupt officials? Sending Guo Hongru here is like throwing a rat into a rice jar."
"Speaking of which, the Right Prime Minister isn't a good person either. He seems to be the umbrella for those corrupt officials."
The elderly right prime minister took a deep breath and said, "Don't breathe, don't breathe. The emperor can't hear him anyway."
"No, if the prince doesn't speak, the plot will be stuck. Oh, right, Daddy is going to escort the winter clothes and food. Luckily, I'm the Imperial Censor now. I want to speak!"
Almost at this moment, all the officials shut their mouths at the same time.
"Your Majesty!" The girl's voice was extremely clear. "I, your humble servant, request that the Crown Prince go to the front of the country to provide disaster relief, as a way to...atone for my sins." She blinked as she spoke, and there was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
Fang Zhiyi smiled.
Seeing Fang Zhiyi smile, the ministers subconsciously smiled along.
"Are you dissatisfied with my discipline of your son?"
Xu Jiao paused: "No, I just think the prince is more capable. If he goes forward to provide disaster relief, the victims will definitely be grateful to the court..."
Fang Zhiyi looked at her and realized that she had finally been fooled. All he wanted was for her to speak up.
"So you're teaching me how to do things?"
All the court officials were dumbfounded, and many of them were gloating over Xu Jiao's misfortune. She was doomed!
Xu Jiao was not a complete fool. After all, she had listened to the court meeting for so long. She shut her mouth in grievance, but she had a series of complaints in her heart, which made the ministers' hearts twitch. Any one of these complaints was enough to kill her!
