I rely on gossip to save the country

"I know my crime, please punish me, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Duan was a cunning old fox. Naturally, he heard the sarcasm in the emperor's words and immediately knelt down and confessed his guilt.

Prime Minister Du was not stupid. After seeing this, he also knelt down and confessed his guilt, saying, "Your Majesty, please punish me."

The two first-rank officials of the imperial court acted like market shrews in the court. Aren't they guilty?

"In that case, forget about establishing a queen! I will select concubines in half a month." Emperor Mingde's tone was neither hurried nor slow, but his authority was intimidating without him getting angry, causing all the civil and military officials to tremble when they heard it.

The ministers agreed, and then the court fell into deathly silence.

Emperor Mingde raised his lips slightly, "My Lord Prime Minister, the Prime Minister has been disrespectful in the court and has defied the majesty of Heaven. I will sweep the steps of Heaven for three days."

Xie Chuyue's sleepiness was scared away, [** (System) Did I hear you right? Sweeping the Heavenly Stairs, are you kidding? The stairs stretch so far from the outside of the Golden Throne Hall, it will take an hour to sweep them all, my father is really cruel.]

Prime Minister Du and Prime Minister Duan were stunned as if struck by lightning. They were two high-ranking officials in the court who were going to sweep the steps? ? ?

Fortunately, their Emperor came up with this idea.

The two of them looked at Emperor Mingde's expression and tactfully said nothing more, for fear of angering Emperor Mingde and causing them even greater suffering.

They had seen the methods of His Majesty the Emperor before. A man of insight is a wise man, so the two men took the blame decisively.

"Xiao Yue'er, you should go too!"

Xie Chuyue, who was originally gloating: ………

After being called, Xie Chuyue was stunned for a moment, then her face fell, and she angrily cursed the emperor in her heart: [You damn father, damn father, I am your daughter after all, and you actually asked me to sweep the steps. Is our father-daughter relationship so weak? What did I do? You asked me to sweep the steps. ]

[Even if you die, you must know why you are being punished. Shouldn't your father explain to me why this inexplicable disaster came from the sky? 】

The prince was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. How could his sister dare to say anything? Why was she becoming more and more outspoken?

Even if they are father and daughter, the father is the king and they are the subjects.

All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down, and everyone was sweating profusely. "Big Leak, don't you know that we can hear your voice? Who are you trying to implicate by saying this?

Emperor Mingde pressed his eyebrows and comforted himself over and over again in his heart, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, this is his own child!

I am her biological father and she is my biological daughter. No one is perfect. I have to bear the consequences for my own mistakes.

I need to be calm! I need to control myself and stay calm! This is my own child!

If a child is not taught well, it is the father's fault. It is all your own fault.

Emperor Mingde: ………What should I do? What should I do? He really wanted to give this annoying thing of his a lesson of love.

You have to be patient, don't hit her, don't scold her, this is your only precious daughter, if you hit her, she will be gone! She was wrong, I was wrong too, I will teach her well in the future.

After the Emperor calmed down, in order to avoid being angry to death, he finally decided to explain, "The morning court is not a market, not a place where you can make noise. Sweep the steps as a warning!"

At this moment, a mosquito flew past Xie Chuyue's eyes.

“Ah, there are mosquitoes!!!”

Xie Chuyue shouted and then fell to the ground and fainted.

System: [Hahahahahaha, host, you actually pretended to faint. And you fainted because of a mosquito.]

Xie Chuyue: [Isn’t that how it’s played out in TV dramas? As long as I faint, I can pretend nothing happened.]

Everyone: ………We all heard it, don’t try to escape.

Emperor Mingde quickly covered his face. It was all over. He had embarrassed himself in front of his ministers.

The prince also turned his head away, too embarrassed to look at him. Where on earth did this little troublemaker come from? Sorry, he didn't know him.

System: [Hahahahahahaha, host, you are going to make me laugh to death, right? Others fainted when they encountered bears, snakes, tigers, etc., but you fainted when you were scared by a mosquito. This is unprecedented! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you are too funny, host.]

Xie Chuyue: [Is it strange that a mosquito fainted from fear? It’s not strange, right? There are many people in the world who are afraid of mosquitoes. The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things! ]

Everyone: Yes, yes, you are right, but you are also the first person to faint from being scared by a mosquito.

So the morning court ended with Xie Chuyue "fainting".

Xie Chuyue insisted on pretending and refused to get up. The emperor had no choice but to play along and carried her to Changle Palace.

As soon as the emperor left, Xie Chuyue sat up from the bed suddenly. He wanted her to sweep the floor, but no way. Did she look so well-behaved?

"Qingyan!" Xie Chuyue yelled towards the door.

Soon, Qingyan appeared in Xie Chuyue's room, "Master, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, that's right. Help me change my appearance. I have to leave the palace. Then you can change yourself to look like me. Stay in Changle Palace." Xie Chuyue instructed Qingyan while changing clothes.

"Yes." Qingyan answered obediently without asking why.

A stick of incense later, a young and handsome man appeared in Changle Palace.

Xie Chuyue once again sighed that Qingyan's disguise skills were superb, even the fake Adam's apple was made so realistic.

Xie Chuyue looked carefully at the person standing in front of her. She looked exactly like her and there was no fault to be found in her. She nodded with satisfaction.

After a while, he gave one more reminder, "I probably won't be back in two or three days. You can claim to be sick and not go to the morning court."

"Master, don't worry, I won't let anyone notice anything wrong."

After that, Xie Chuyue sneaked out of the palace with Mu Jin Xuantian.

Outside the palace, there was chaos in the residence of the Minister of Personnel. Xie Yunqi brought the palace guards to the main courtyard of the residence to torture Lu Anchen. After fifty beatings with wooden sticks, Lu Anchen was already dying.

After beating Lu Anchen, Xie Yunqi led people to search the residence of the Minister of Personnel. Mrs. Lu tried to stop them, but the emperor only said to punish his son, but did not ask the prince to search the residence.

The Minister of Personnel knew why the prince came, after all, the emperor heard Xie Chuyue's thoughts.

After some trouble, Xie Yunqi found the rat that the Minister of Personnel kept in his mansion in a room that was decorated fairly well.

Seeing hundreds of rats chirping all over the house, Xie Yunqi almost vomited. He quickly signaled the palace guards to catch all the rats.

In the end, the guards endured the nausea and fear and filled five sacks one by one.

Originally, the prince planned to feed these mice to the cat, but he didn't expect that the number of mice was so terrifying that the cat couldn't handle it at all.

So they found an abandoned well, drowned the rats in it, then fished them out and buried them in a mass grave.

In the residence of the Minister of Personnel, Mrs. Lu was busy taking care of both her husband and her son.

She complained that it was all Xie Chuyue's fault. If it weren't for her, their whole family wouldn't have to suffer so much.

The Minister of Personnel who heard her complaints was able to understand the situation clearly and told them to stay away from Xie Chuyue in the future.

After that, the Minister of Personnel personally sent Lu Zhixing to Tsinghua Academy after his injury recovered.

After a period of time, when Lu Anchen had almost recovered, he was forcibly taken back to the military camp by the general who defended the country, and then sent to the border.

After this incident, everyone in the Ministry of Personnel's Office tried to avoid Xie Chuyue.
