Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"Master Shu, what crime have I committed?"

Emperor Yuan Ping asked back.

This is not something you can do.

Being a puppet emperor is bad enough in itself.

If he had to take the blame and issue an edict of repentance, he wouldn't dare to think about how history books would record him as the emperor who "resigned on his own initiative".

"emperor."

Shu Jiao looked at Emperor Yuan Ping with a look that said, "How could you be so ignorant?" "When the previous emperor was alive, there was no uprising by mountain bandits. You have been on the throne for only a year, and you have caused such a thing..."

"If you don't issue an edict of apology, how can you calm the people's anger and resentment?"

"The Crown Prince passed away suddenly. The late Emperor had no choice but to choose you to ascend the throne. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the Queen Mother be the regent. In the final analysis, isn't it because he is worried about you?"

"The current uprising is enough to prove that you are really limited in ability and cannot shoulder the responsibility of a ruler!"

"Although the Queen Mother is heartbroken and does not want the Emperor to suffer such humiliation, she must put the country and the people first. Your Majesty, why can't you understand the Queen Mother?"

Emperor Yuanping: ...

No?

From what you said, it really is his fault?

It is because of his limited ability that he should not sit on the throne and bring harm to the country and the people, he should not let down the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts, he should not make a fuss, he should just abdicate obediently.

Who will take over after he abdicates?

Change to a more obedient prince?

But now, my father’s only descendants are my second and third elder brothers.

It seems that the second prince may not survive this winter. The third prince has a much more irritable temper than him and there is no way he will listen to the Queen Mother.

Who else can the Queen Mother replace?

While thinking, and perhaps because he was a little annoyed, Emperor Yuan Ping blurted out, "What if I don't want to?"

Shu Jiao did not respond, nor was she angry. She coughed lightly, smiled, and clapped her hands gently.

"Papa~"

After a few sounds, a maid came up with a bitter-tasting medicine soup.

"Hearing that the emperor was seriously ill and had not recovered yet, the Empress Dowager was very worried and ordered the imperial physician to change the prescription and let the emperor try it."

Shu Jiao said as she personally brought the bowl of warm medicine to Emperor Yuan Ping, "Your Majesty, drink it quickly. If it gets cold, the medicinal properties will be poor."

The hot steam from the medicinal soup gently blows on my face.

There was a bitter taste that flowed down my throat and into my internal organs before I even drank it.

Emperor Yuan Ping clenched his hands tightly and his whole body trembled with anger.

unacceptable!

He simply didn't take him seriously at all!

The Queen Mother and Shu Jiao were basically threatening him.

If he didn't obey the Queen Mother's order to write a confession of guilt and abdicate, the Queen Mother would use medicine to make him die of illness in the palace? !

Seeing that Emperor Yuanping was full of anger and did not take the medicine bowl, Shu Jiao was not in a hurry.

"I heard that the emperor didn't drink a single sip of the medicine he had prepared earlier? I wonder how the people below served him?"

Shu Jiao slowly held the white jade spoon, gently stirred the black medicine, and said slowly: "Thanks to the emperor's kindness, he didn't punish those people who neglected their duties."

"Come here, drag out all the servants who serve the emperor. Considering that they have served the emperor for many years, the punishment is only thirty strokes of the cane."

"you!"

Emperor Yuan Ping was furious. "Shu Jiao! What right do you have to punish my people? Who do you think you are?"

Seeing the guard coming in obediently, he walked out dragging the servant who had served him for many years.

"emperor!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save me!"

"Master Shu, please spare my life, Master Shu..."

Hearing the endless cries for mercy and help, Emperor Yuan Ping immediately shouted, "Stop! I said stop, can't you hear me? Shu Jiao!"

"Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for me."

Shu Jiao sighed softly, her tone full of helplessness, "I am also following the orders of the Queen Mother."

Facing the furious look of Emperor Yuanping, Shu Jiao added meaningfully: "Besides, these servants are disobedient and can't even do their job of serving their master. What's the point of keeping them?"

What to look at?

I'm talking about you.

You are disobedient and can't even do your job as a puppet. What's the point of keeping you?

"It's better to change it."

The queen mother above me wants to replace someone else, so you'd better know what's good for you.

"I know that these servants have served you since they were young, and you have a deep relationship with them. But Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, how can you act based on emotion?"

You'd better not let your emotions get the better of you, otherwise you won't be able to protect these slaves today, and tomorrow...

But you can't save your own life.

How could Emperor Yuanping not understand this overt and covert threat?

Precisely because he understood, he felt more embarrassed and his expression became uglier, and he could even visibly clench his teeth.

Look at the hatred in his eyes...

Shu Jiao felt that this boy probably wanted to kill her.

"I drink."

Emperor Yuan Ping took a deep breath, took the medicine bowl from Shu Jiao with trembling hands, and drank the bitter medicine in one gulp.

The smell was so nauseating that I wanted to vomit.

But he held back and asked in a deep voice: "Can you let them go?"

"Look at what the emperor said~"

Shu Jiao covered her lips and coughed softly, "You are the king, and the minister is the minister. Naturally, the minister will obey your orders."

"Let them go."

The scattered cries of pain and the crackling sound of boards coming from outside the door were harsh.

Emperor Yuanping knew that Shu Jiao did this on purpose.

In order to avoid disturbing the nobles, the palace would generally not allow the sound of servants being beaten to reach the ears of the nobles, unless the nobles wanted to hear it.

But obviously, he didn't want to listen.

It was just that in order to provoke him, Shu Jiao deliberately let someone outside use heavy force to let the sound in.

Shu Jiao just smiled but said nothing, as if she didn't hear anything, and seemed to be waiting for something.

After a while, Emperor Yuan Ping smashed the medicine bowl heavily on the ground and said, "I will write the edict of apology and I will abdicate. Are you satisfied? Is the Queen Mother satisfied?"

"Your Majesty has some misunderstandings about the Empress Dowager and me."

Shu Jiao looked wronged. "Everything the Queen did was for your safety and happiness. The Queen is actually very distressed to ask you to abdicate."

fart.

Emperor Yuan Ping simply rolled his eyes and sneered at Shu Jiao's words.

"you."

Shu Jiao pointed at a maid and said, "Go and tell them to stop. The emperor is kind and merciful and has forgiven them."

"Crench."

In a trance, Emperor Yuanping even heard the sound of his own teeth gritting.

What does it mean that he forgave them?

He never thought about punishing his slaves, okay?

"Master Shu really has a good tongue."

Emperor Yuan Ping tried hard to control his temper and uttered these words one by one through his teeth.

It sounds sinister and threatening.

"I am very pleased to receive the praise from Your Majesty."

Shu Jiao chuckled and responded, then took a few steps back, coughed for a while, and then called out, "Come in."

Two guards soon walked in, holding a bright yellow imperial edict with a seal on it.

"Your Majesty cannot bear to see the Emperor suffer so much, and has already written the edict of apology and abdication."

Shu Jiao shook her body in a pretentious manner, "The emperor is ill, and I am suffering from a chronic disease. I will take my leave first in case it affects the emperor's recovery."

After that, she turned around and left.
