Chapter 644: All the civil and military officials in the court, one by one
Sitting on the dragon throne, the expression on the emperor's face froze for a moment.
He was stunned at first, but then that surprise turned into an indescribable amusement.
He leaned back slightly, changing into a more comfortable position, and an almost invisible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He wanted to hear what earth-shattering gossip this little girl, who was doted on by Gu Junze, could tell him.
Every single one of the civil and military officials in the court held their breath.
The entire pilgrimage temple was so quiet that one could hear each other's heartbeats.
Everyone was using their ears to desperately catch the child's voice that came from the sky.
In the attic, Gu Qingchen was completely unaware of the strange atmosphere below.
She cleared her throat, lowered her voice, and spoke to the little prince and Qian Zhenyun beside her in an extremely mysterious tone.
"Do you know that the Emperor turned over Lady Zhou's card last night, but..."
She deliberately prolonged her voice to whet the audience's appetite.
The little prince and Qian Zhenyun nervously put their ears closer and their eyes widened.
Every word she said was clearly heard in the hall.
"But Lady Zhou ate three bowls of braised pork elbows specially provided by the imperial kitchen in advance, and she burped all night!"
"The burp was loud and long, and carried a strong aroma of soy sauce."
"The Emperor was so choked up that his face turned green. He had no choice but to go to the study in the middle of the night, hugging his pillow and sleeping!"
"puff--"
At the end of the team, a young censor who had just entered the officialdom was the first one who couldn't help himself.
He let out a loud, muffled laugh, as if someone had been kicked hard.
The murderous looks from colleagues around him were instantly cast over.
The young censor's face turned purple as he turned to a crimson color. He wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. He lowered his head as hard as he could, but his shoulders were still shaking violently.
This laugh was like a lit fuse.
In an instant, the entire pilgrimage temple was out of control.
Master Li, who was always known for his seriousness, had his gray beard shaking like a sieve.
Minister Wang of the Ministry of War bit his lips tightly, his face flushed red, and his shoulders shrugged, as if he was having an epileptic seizure.
What's more, she directly covered her face with the wide sleeves of her court robe, and her body twitched violently as she tried to suppress a smile.
They wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.
That strange, extremely suppressed sound echoed in the hall...
Sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor's expression underwent a wonderful change.
From white to blue, from blue to purple, and finally, it is so black that ink seems to drip out.
Of course he remembered the embarrassment of last night.
What came out of Lady Zhou's small mouth was not sweet words, but the rich smell of braised pork elbow that could drive him away.
The sight of him running away in such a panic still scares me.
This kind of boudoir secret that can only be understood but not expressed in words was actually... actually spoken out in front of all the civil and military officials in the court!
However, Gu Qingchen on the beam clearly had no intention of quitting while he was ahead.
Her "explanation" continued with great enthusiasm.
"And the day before yesterday! He rewarded Concubine De with a piece of newly-promoted brocade from Jiangnan, praising the material as unique in the world."
"But then he turned around and gave the exact same material to the Empress!"
"Guess what? This morning, two ladies were seen in the imperial garden wearing the same clothes!"
"Oh my, that scene, tsk tsk, the Empress's face turned blue, and Concubine De's eyes turned red on the spot. Now the two of them are still in a cold war in the palace!"
At this point, even the royal relatives standing in the front row could not hold back any longer.
A prince suddenly lowered his head to cover the corners of his mouth that were about to grin from ear to ear.
Another one coughed violently, tears streaming down his face.
The private affairs of the harem's jealousy were brought to this solemn and dignified Golden Palace. This was the first time in the history of the world!
The emperor felt as if the top of his head was about to be blown off by anger.
His dignity as the emperor, the majesty he worked so hard to build, at this moment, was pinned to the ground by a yellow-haired girl and rubbed back and forth!
He could even feel that although the ministers below had their heads lowered, their gazes, which were trying hard to suppress their smiles, were about to burn through his throne!
“That’s enough!”
The emperor finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He slammed the armrest of the dragon throne and let out a deafening roar.
"Bang!"
The loud noise made the air in the entire hall tremble.
All the laughter and twitching disappeared in an instant.
All the officials were silent, with their heads hung, wishing they could bury them in the ground.
"Someone come!"
The emperor's voice trembled slightly due to extreme anger, with a hint of gnashing teeth.
"Catch those ignorant creatures hanging from the beams!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several imperial guards guarding outside the hall rushed straight to the narrow staircase leading to the roof beam on one side of the hall.
In the attic.
Gu Qingchen, the little prince and Qian Zhenyun were leaning against the railing, looking at the emperor who had suddenly become furious and the guards who were rushing up aggressively.
The three little guys finally realized that something was wrong.
They were stunned for two seconds, then they hugged each other and let out the most terrified screams in their lives.
"ah--!"
That night, half of the capital city was filled with the sound of children being beaten.
At the residence of Grand Tutor Li, the highly respected old Grand Tutor was puffing his beard and glaring, chasing his eldest grandson around the yard with a feather duster.
"I told you not to talk nonsense! I told you not to bring disgrace upon our family!"
The residence of Minister Wang of the Ministry of War was even more lively.
Minister Wang raised his hand to hit his son, "You little bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
His son stiffened his neck and said stubbornly, "I didn't say anything wrong!"
Before Minister Wang's slap could land, someone grabbed his ear.
Madam Wang, the famous tigress in the capital, sneered and twisted his ear. "How dare you hit your son? You can't control your own eyes, and you blame him for his quick mouth! Go, kneel on the washboard!"
Minister Shen's residence was in chaos.
Lord Shen, his face turning pale and blue, ran around the yard chasing his son Shen Yu with a stick in his hand.
"Beat you to death, you bastard! You've made me lose face because of you!!"
Compared to the noise outside, the imperial study in the palace was eerily quiet.
The little prince knelt straight on the cold floor tiles, his face pale, his lips tightly pursed, and he said nothing.
Emperor Zhao Yunci stood before him expressionlessly, holding a long, thin whip in his hand.
“Bang!”
The whip broke through the air and hit the little prince's back, making a dull sound.
The little prince's body trembled violently, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
Qian Zhenyun, who was kneeling beside him, was so scared that his face was covered with tears and snot, and he was shaking like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
Gu Qingchen also started to tremble.
She stared at the whip in the emperor's hand, and then looked at the bloodstains on the little prince's clothes on his back.
The emperor has a good temper?
Which bastard said that!
When her father was angry, he would at most punish her by making her copy books. Her hands would just get sore, but it wouldn't hurt.
The emperor is so good, he just whips people with a whip!
Gu Qingchen shuddered subconsciously. Her small body couldn't withstand such a blow.
What should I do? What should I do?
After beating the prince, is it her turn now?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, the blood in her body turned cold.
no!
Her eyes rolled, and at the moment when the emperor raised the whip again, her body suddenly straightened up and she fell straight backwards.
"Qingchen!"
"elder sister!"
The little prince and Qian Zhenyun were both anxious and didn't care about being afraid. They rushed over in a panic.
But Gu Qingchen was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, motionless.
Emperor Zhao Yunci's hand holding the whip froze in mid-air.
He looked at the little bastard who had fainted on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Are you scared so easily?
You pretend quite well!
The anger in my heart was suppressed, and I couldn't get out of it.
Zhao Yunci's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he squeezed out three words from between his teeth with gritted teeth.
"Excuse me, Imperial Physician!"
