Upon hearing the woman insult her, Su Muyao drew her golden snake whip from her waist and lashed it out at the Princess Consort of the South.
"This is truly intolerable! You keep calling him a bastard, isn't your own son a bastard?"
The woman shut up instantly after being whipped twice, but still crossed her arms and glared fiercely at Su Muyao.
Without the women's chatter, the court was unusually quiet.
As if struck by a sudden thought, the Prince of Nan strode up to his wife and grabbed her, demanding, "Tell me, whose child is this bastard?"
Princess Nan was so frightened by the sudden roar that she froze on the spot. She hadn't felt anything when the little dumpling had slapped her twice.
But if the prince says this, it means he believes the little princess. What should we do?
Su Muyao spoke as if she wasn't afraid of trouble: "The Princess Consort of the South really kept the Prince in the dark. The Prince would rather be known as a concubine who neglects his wife than not make you his equal wife."
How could you do something so disrespectful to the Prince? Tsk tsk tsk, I really feel sorry for the Prince!
All the officials in the court twitched their lips...
Princess Nan looked at the man who would never even raise his voice at her normally, now roaring at her with red eyes.
"Your Highness, please don't do this..."
"Let me ask you if you are the son of the Great Hammer," the prince said, looking into the princess's eyes.
When the princess heard the name, she was instantly stunned, and then she began to tremble uncontrollably.
How could the King of the South not understand after seeing this?
When I went to Nanzhou before, there was a waiter in a restaurant who said that they were family. At the time, I thought to myself that the waiter had such a bad eye.
Now I realize I'm the one who suffered the greatest injustice, having raised someone else's child for over a decade for nothing.
Most people in the court knew who the "big hammer" the Prince of the South was referring to was; the "big hammer" was the prince's personal servant.
Because he had served the prince since childhood, the prince treated the man named Da Chui very well.
I heard that their relationship is not that of master and servant, but rather that of brothers.
Later, because of his good performance in the army, Da Chui was personally promoted to deputy general by the prince.
Su Muyao, with a gossipy expression, pulled a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket.
Then he sat down on the steps where the emperor had ascended the platform. The emperor felt a headache coming on as he watched the little dumpling sitting so presumptuously below, cracking melon seeds and shaking his head.
Su Muyao also felt the burning gaze behind her, and immediately stood up and walked onto the high platform.
Xiao Dezi was completely dumbfounded. Who would dare to come up to this high platform? Could this little milkball be trying to sit on the dragon throne?
No way, no way, this little devil isn't really going to do this, is he?
Fortunately, when Su Muyao arrived in front of the emperor, she took out three handfuls of melon seeds from her pocket and placed them on the table.
Then, he huffed and puffed as he got off the platform and sat on the steps to continue watching the play.
The ministers also caught a glimpse of the little tyrant out of the corner of their eyes, but since the emperor hadn't said anything, why would they risk offending him?
The farce finally ended after Su Muyao finished eating two handfuls of sunflower seeds.
Princess Nan's cheeks bulged from the slap, and she knelt on the ground, hugging the prince's legs and repeatedly apologizing.
Su Muyao then thought of what Xia had told her about the prince's first wife. She had heard that she was a gentle woman, but she was later forced to stop managing all affairs of the mansion and devote herself to vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist scriptures, no longer going out.
Thinking that she was also a pitiful person, Su Muyao stood up, clapped her hands, and said to the prince, "I heard that the prince and his wife were once a harmonious couple. The real princess is such a good person, but you don't love her. Instead, you like this green tea bitch. Tsk tsk tsk."
You men are really stupid without realizing it. You don't want someone who thinks of you in everything, but you choose this kind of scumbag.
What do you mean by infertility? Why has the legitimate princess been infertile for so many years? Hasn't anyone considered whether someone might have tampered with her body?"
All the civil and military officials present, including the emperor, turned pale at Su Muyao's comment that "you men are really stupid without even realizing it."
Xiao Dezi mentally complained, "This little brat never knows how to speak properly."
What the emperor was really thinking was, "How did you manage to kill everyone with one blow?"
I treat the Empress very well, and I would never neglect her because of someone else's instigation.
Fortunately, Su Muyao didn't have mind-reading abilities and didn't know what the emperor was thinking, otherwise she would definitely have complained to him, saying, "You're still being cuckolded, aren't you?"
The emperor, seeing that it was getting late and his stomach was rumbling, said, "If you want to argue, go home and argue. So many people are watching you two bicker here."
The morning court session ended quickly, and Su Muyao skipped and hopped out, completely ignoring the chaos behind her.
When the little girl returned, she found her whole family waiting for her.
Old Man Su and Old Woman Su were so afraid that their little granddaughter would be detained or punished if she went to the morning court session that they stood anxiously at the gate without even having breakfast.
Before long, the little one finally returned. Seeing that the person he had been longing for had returned unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Su Muyao got off the carriage, she rushed into her grandmother's arms, but was immediately pulled into a hug by Su Laosan.
"Waaah, my daughter, you must never do this again. You don't know how heartbroken I am, like my heart is dead."
Su Muyao felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the bloodshot eyes in her father's eyes and the swollen, red eyes of her mother not far away.
"Father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother, who am I? I am the little lucky star of the great dynasty."
As the Grand Preceptor of a nation, not just anyone dares to touch me.
"Don't worry, besides, the Emperor is a very good person. We've done so much for the Great Dynasty, he'll protect me no matter what!"
Everyone thought the same thing, believing that their lives would definitely be spared, but they were afraid that the little milk group would be punished.
Then Su Muyao cheerfully said, "Guess what? It turns out that the young prince is not the prince's child at all, but the product of the prince's concubine's infidelity."
And the woman he cheated on him with was even a prince's attendant! Wow, what a juicy story! Too bad you all missed it. The prince beat that concubine so badly her own mother wouldn't recognize her; she was practically a pig's head.
Su Shuyao was speaking enthusiastically, and everyone who had been holding their breath finally felt relieved.
Since they are not the prince's biological children, and were born from an affair, the prince will probably not hold them accountable later.
Qin Meijuan's eyes lit up as she listened. She handed her little niece a cup of tea and asked, "Nannan, what do you think will happen to this young prince in the end?"
Su Laosan quickly replied, "What else could they do but execute him? Just think about it, even ordinary people can't accept their wives betraying them and giving birth to an illegitimate child, let alone a prince."
Su Muyao nodded in agreement. She had a similar guess in mind; the prince was unlikely to let the mother and son off easily.
"Alright, let's go inside and eat. We haven't had breakfast yet this early in the morning."
Grandma Su gave her husband a reproachful look: "What breakfast? It's already noon."
