[It is true that one is surrounded by radiation but does not know what it is. The glowing substances in the night-shining pearls are all natural radioactive substances. Those who do not know would think they are some kind of precious treasure.]

Now the emperor understood a little bit. The night pearl glows by something called radiation, but this thing is harmful to humans.

And since he had always kept a huge night-shining pearl in his bedroom, of course he would die early.

The emperor couldn't help but touch the hair on Bei Jingchu's head. He was really his father's lucky star.

He was just about to have the Night Pearl taken away and destroyed when he heard the voice of his newly born little princess, who should have been at the most innocent age:

[But it is really a powerful assassination weapon. If you find someone you don't like but find it hard to kill, you can just give him a night-shining pearl and let him put it by his bed every day. You can just wait for him to die. He will even thank the emperor for his grace before he dies.]

Emperor: ... Very good, a lot of ideas, really a promising talent. You can tell from his methods and strategies that they are his own.

Bei Jingchu looked up and saw that her cheap father was looking at her with a look that made her feel uneasy.

It was so embarrassing. Bei Jingchu opened her toothless little mouth and revealed an exceptionally innocent and lovely smile.

The eunuch Jiang standing beside her was so cute that he melted it, but her adopted father couldn't bear to look at it and turned his eyes away.

The news that the emperor personally raised the princess soon spread throughout the court.

There was no way. Every time the ministers entered the imperial study to discuss matters, they could see a baby cradle placed next to the emperor, and the baby humming from time to time, which was out of place with the solemn and cold imperial study.

Once, the Imperial Censor could not help but advise: "The Imperial Study is an important place for political discussions. The little princess can be taken care of by the palace servants. Your Majesty, bringing her to the Imperial Study is not right..."

[Yes, it is, Aye, let me go to the back to play, you are writing dozens of pounds of documents here every day, and I dare not make a sound to disturb you. ]

The emperor glanced at Bei Jingchu, who was so bored that she tried to bite his own feet, and silently reached out to pull her feet out of her little hands.

"The little princess has only been born for a short time. She has no ability to leak out any important news she has heard. My dear, please don't be so old-fashioned."

The Imperial Censor bowed helplessly and said, "But a baby is here, which will affect our speech..."

"The little princess doesn't cry or make a fuss, but she can influence you just by being here. My dear, you should reflect on yourself. Have you worked hard? No wonder your official position has not improved at all in the past few years."

Censor: ...

Damn daughter slave, I can’t argue with you.

[What a great eloquence! My father is worthy of this talent.]

Hearing the praise, the emperor's mood improved a little. The ministers, who had thought they would be in a low mood for the rest of the day, unexpectedly found that His Majesty was actually quite easy to talk to this time.

"Your Majesty, General Lei has been acting more recklessly recently. He even paid out of his own pocket to reward the soldiers in the barracks and win their hearts. In the long run, I'm afraid he might be suspected of rebellion."

The Imperial Censor presented the memorial.

The emperor's brows furrowed more and more as he looked at it. Lei Ning's prestige in the army was almost higher than that of the emperor.

Sometimes his words are more effective than that of the emperor himself.

Sadly, this should never be allowed to happen.

If Lei Ning wants to rebel someday, wouldn't everyone follow him if he just raises his arm and calls for action?

The emperor had long been fed up with him, so he decided to kill him this time to prevent future trouble.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard my daughter's baby voice again:

[What a pity! General Lei was a loyal general, but he was executed by slow slicing because of my father's suspicion. If he hadn't died, my father's kingdom could have lasted a little longer.]

The emperor's fingertips lost control and creased the memorial.

No matter how you look at it, Lei Ning is a traitor, and the emperor doesn't believe he is loyal.

A truly loyal subject will not challenge the authority of the monarch.

The emperor was a little skeptical. Were the destinies the little guy saw real?

"I understand."

After the ministers left, he picked up Bei Jingchu and sent the servants in the imperial study, along with Eunuch Jiang, out.

Just like talking to a baby, he taught her:

"Chu Chu, do you think General Lei is a loyal subject?"

[Of course, it's written on the ** that he was your most loyal general and had first-rate abilities. It was because you were too suspicious that he was killed unjustly.]

The emperor was not angry, because the little guy was telling the truth.

He was a suspicious emperor, but an emperor who was not suspicious could not sit firmly on the throne.

He explained: "It doesn't really matter whether he is loyal or not."

"Ah?" Bei. The little baby. Jingchu asked in a childish voice.

"As an emperor, I don't have the energy to care whether all my officials are loyal or not. People's hearts are unpredictable and unstable. A loyal minister today may rebel tomorrow, unless you have the ability to read minds."

Having said this, the emperor was silent for a moment. He could indeed read a person's mind now.

"So, the emperor just needs to ensure that the people under his command do not have the ability to threaten his throne. This is the emperor's mindset."

[Sure enough, he is such a shady old man, he has such a dark heart. 】

Little heartless.

I was just thinking of the assassination plan using the Night Pearl.

If he is an old pervert, then isn't she a young pervert?

Well... she is worthy of being his daughter, she inherited good genes.

"…I did not do this just for my throne. The worst that can happen to a king is death. But the other members of the royal family, the princes and princesses, were humiliated and none of them had a good ending."

Bei Jingchu suddenly realized: [That makes sense! But why did my father tell me this? Did he think I could understand? ]

Bei Jingchu showed a suspicious and inquiring look.

The emperor changed his tone:

"No one knows about my sufferings. I cannot let anyone see into the heart of an emperor, so I can only tell you, a little baby who cannot understand human language."

Bei Jingchu was so angry that her hair stood on end.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

[You are the one who doesn’t understand what people say. Your whole family doesn’t understand what people say! ]

Emperor: This silly child, how come he even scolded himself?

He reached out and smoothed Bei Jingchu's hair.

He still couldn't believe it. Lei Ning's rebellious intentions had already been revealed. It was a loyal minister who formed a clique for personal gain.

Then let's see whether his daughter's prediction is accurate or his judgment is correct.
