The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Shen Nian watched the emperor's gaze slowly fall on him... It's over!

He knew that the emperor was vindictive and that he must not cause trouble for him! He even killed the father and son of the Su family, who had existed for a hundred years and were the head of the aristocratic family. They were just fulfilling their duty as ministers to give advice, but the emperor retaliated against them to such an extent... The first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to plot to bring down the Su family, and he even went so far as to place poor children under the Su family's tutelage, and even bribed himself, the son-in-law of the Su family...

Someone had secretly contacted him in Jiangnan as early as that time, just to make sure that written evidence could be found when it was revealed that Master Su was forming a clique for personal gain... After all, the Su family was very cautious, and no children except their own relatives were ever allowed to enter the study in the inner house. But they didn't expect that despite all their precautions, a vicious wolf would appear in their own family.

No one knew better than Shen Nian that the so-called slaughter of the whole family by mountain bandits on the way back to the clan land was just the emperor's way of venting his anger. This tragic end of the clan was simply because the emperor thought that they had publicly embarrassed him...

He truly loved Su Yisha back then, and although he also wanted to get close to the Su family, when the emperor's people tempted her with the top three in the imperial examination... the so-called love became insignificant. Who can resist the temptation of power?

From the beginning, he was the emperor's man, and the emperor liked people who knew the current situation the most...

"Yu'er? Are you serious? Master really said that the Shen Mansion has been infected by evil spirits for many years? Will the aura still affect you? Then you must break off the relationship. Your father cannot harm your mother and brother, and then harm you. You are the only child of Yixia and me!!" Lord Shen had a face full of the grief of a loving father. "Your Majesty, please break off the relationship for me and my daughter, and also for my first wife and legitimate son!"

Shen Yu rolled his eyes in his heart and didn't reply to him. He just let Lu Yingxing hug him. If Shen Nian were to travel to the modern times, he would definitely be the leader of a pyramid scheme!

The emperor's Adam's apple rolled when he heard this, and he said jokingly, "Oh? Shen Qing, have you thought it through? You are an orphan, your wife and son are dead, your maternal family has died out, your stepmother is in prison, and your daughter is no longer married. From now on, Lord Shen... will be left alone?"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Shen Nian said in horror, "Your Majesty!! Could it be that when my father-in-law and his family returned to their hometown and were killed by bandits, Luo Yunmei and that evil spirit were also responsible?!!"

As if he was deeply frightened, his whole body was trembling slightly, and he clapped his hands while recalling the past on his pale face, "Yes, yes, I hired an escort agency to escort my father-in-law's family all the way. Logically, the bandits should not be completely wiped out. If someone around me had tipped them off in advance, then it would make sense!! And... that evil spirit..."

He turned his head again, looking at Shen Yu with a guilty look on his face, "I am sorry to Master Su. I knew that someone had tampered with the child, but I couldn't save my wife and child who were in labor. But my wife's last wish before she passed away was for me to marry Luo Yunmei. I...she also promised me that she would treat Yu'er as her own daughter in the future. I didn't expect that she would invite evil spirits into the mansion! Your Majesty, I am so angry! Wuuwuwu!!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then realized what Minister Shen meant, and looked at this minister who was so useful to him with complicated eyes.

As expected, he was smart and vicious enough. The emperor was also willing to completely deny the murder of the Su family. Back then, there were disciples of the Grand Tutor who questioned it and tried to gather a crowd to cause trouble, but they were suppressed by Lord Shen, the son-in-law and senior brother of the Su family. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really couldn't bear to abolish Shen Nian. Just now, for a moment, he did have the idea of ​​abandoning him...

The emperor had a look of grief on his face. "No wonder I couldn't find the person who did it no matter how many Dragon Guards I secretly sent to investigate this matter. The source is actually here with you? Shen Nian, your kindness has led to a big mistake. Tell me, what crime should you be punished for?"

"Your Majesty! I cannot escape the blame even if I die!" After saying this, he fell to the ground and burst into tears.

Shen Yu coldly watched the dog emperor and the dog minister singing the same tune, but her heart was unusually calm. She had long suspected that the emperor was involved in the incident at her grandfather's house, but she never thought that he, a good father, was actually an accomplice? He also said that he knew someone had tampered with his mother's death... Huh? Good! That's really good!

Los Angeles is such a damn place, full of smoke and foul smells! She really didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

Eunuch Huang on the side rarely raised his head and looked at Shangshu Shen with complicated eyes. He had risen to prominence by stepping on the corpses of his father-in-law's family and now wanted to get away by stepping on his step-wife.

Taifu Su had been kind to him. When he was young, he offended a nobleman and was punished to kneel on a rainy day until he fell to the ground with a high fever. It was the kindness of Taifu, who had just come of age at that time, that allowed him to survive. Perhaps even Taifu himself had forgotten this incident, but he could not, as it was a life-saving favor.

Eunuch Huang was about fifty years old, with a skinny body. He looked like a kind-hearted old man. He pondered in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen has another daughter. She is Shen Yue, who was just fortunate enough to be married by Your Majesty. Her surname is also Shen..."

When this was mentioned, the emperor recalled the scene of blue flames in the imperial garden just now.

Although he was very satisfied with Shen Nian's ability to see the times, but compared with his own great opportunity? There was no comparison. Even his father did not have a physique that was immune to all evil!

She looked up again and saw that His Highness Shen Yu and Lu Yingxing looked like a couple that followed each other, and her dissatisfaction with Shen Nian deepened a little bit... This Shen Yu was originally just an abandoned child who married into Prince Zhuo's mansion, but in the end, killing her and framing Lu Yingxing failed, and it seemed like he had been given a boost instead. It would be great if she could control Shen Yu and use her for Luo Cheng, but with her hostility towards the Shen Mansion... I'm afraid it would be difficult.

The first choice for the princess was obviously Shen Yue, the one that Minister Shen treasured. If she had married in, why would there be so many troubles? Maybe the fiefdom of Prince Zhuo would have been legitimately in his pocket now! !

If Shen Yu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him: I'm sorry, from the moment you decided not to marry the merchant's daughter, you have been moving further and further away from this ending.

Looking at the kneeling Shen Nian, he became angrier and angrier. The low pressure emanating from his body made the palace servants in the hall tremble.

His voice sounded extremely cold, without any trace of the affection between the monarch and his subjects. "Minister of Revenue Shen Nian has been obsessed with personal gain, neglected his duties, failed to govern the country strictly, and treated the orphan of the Grand Tutor harshly. He is demoted to Vice Minister of Revenue and fined for three years. In addition, the four million taels of dowry that Shen embezzled must be returned to Princess Zhuo within seven days. If you fail to do so... you will be sentenced to death..."

"Your Majesty, I obey your order! Thank you for your mercy," Four million taels... Is the emperor... mad at him? He wants him to make up for the tribute of the Su Mansion's property... Shen Nian suppressed the fear in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face.

Glancing at Shen Yu, the emperor added slowly, "Ms. Shen Su followed the ancestral teachings of the Su family and was both virtuous and talented, but unfortunately she died during childbirth. I am impressed by Shen Yu's filial piety and I grant her a divorce from Shen Nian, and their children will be transferred to her name. I will also grant her a residence for the princess of the highest rank.

"So, Princess Zhuo...are you satisfied?"
