Transmigrating Female Supreme: The Peerless Husband Depends on Me
Chapter 296: Finally Nothing More Said
The emperor widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, obviously shocked by Su Yue's bold remarks.
As a monarch, she was at the pinnacle of power throughout her life. Every decision she made affected the rise and fall of the country, and every achievement she made was the result of countless efforts.
She would never allow anyone to question her decision in the slightest, and she could not tolerate others making comments about the Spring Examination that she had always been proud of.
In the past, with her thunderous wrath, someone as ignorant as Su Yue would have been executed long ago, and even his entire clan might have been implicated.
However, at this moment, she had already abdicated, and for some reason, she did not feel as angry as she had imagined.
The Emperor sat in a chair, his brow furrowed, lost in thought.
It is a huge challenge for any ruler to have policy deficiencies pointed out to him/her face to face and it is difficult for him/her to accept.
But she knew in her heart that she could not completely deny Su Yue's concerns.
She was not unaware of the secret operations of those people below her, the injustice and difficulties faced by those poor students, and Su Yue's worries were indeed real.
But for her, being in a high position, it is difficult for her to directly reach those dark corners at the bottom, and those injustices have little impact on her own interests, so she chooses to turn a blind eye.
Now Su Yue's words hit her heart like a heavy hammer, forcing her to re-examine the problem that she had always ignored.
Su Yue was extremely nervous at this moment, as if countless small insects were gnawing at her internal organs.
She regretted deeply in her heart. Why did she act so clever and dare to challenge the supreme majesty of the king? This was simply courting death.
She wished time could go back. If she were given another chance, she would never say those words even if she died.
At this moment, Su Yue's mind was working rapidly, thinking about how he could get out of this situation if the emperor blamed him.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her hands began to tremble unconsciously.
Su Yue raised her head cautiously and glanced at the Emperor secretly, only to find that he was lost in thought.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt that this might be an opportunity to make amends for herself.
So, Su Yue hurriedly spoke again, his voice filled with fear and regret: "Grand Emperor, Su Yue is guilty. He really shouldn't be so self-righteous and talk nonsense in front of the Grand Emperor.
Su Yue is narrow-minded and short-sighted. Just because he sees the emperor's kindness and generosity, he becomes ignorant of his own limitations and acts recklessly.
Su Yue knew that he had made a grave mistake and begged the Grand Emperor to punish him. No matter what the punishment was, Su Yue was willing to bear it without complaint.
After saying that, Su Yue lowered his head again, his body becoming stiff due to extreme tension. He waited for the Grand Emperor's response, silently praying in his heart that the Grand Emperor would show leniency.
The emperor stared straight at Su Yue, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Su Yue's soul and see every trace of fear and regret in her heart.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air around her became extremely heavy, making Su Yue almost unable to breathe.
After a long, long time, the emperor finally sighed deeply.
This breath contained too many complicated emotions. I don't know if it was because of Su Yue's recklessness and impulsiveness, or because she saw the truth that she had ignored in Su Yue's words, or perhaps it was because she felt the changes of time and the changes of her own power.
The Grand Emperor slowly raised his hand and waved it gently, his voice revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness: "Get up."
When Su Yue heard these two words, she felt as if she had been pardoned, but she did not dare to stand up immediately. Instead, she hesitated for a moment before standing up carefully, still with her head lowered, not daring to look at the emperor.
The Grand Emperor looked at Su Yue with a serious expression and continued, “Young man, in this world, when you don’t have absolute ability, you must never be so outspoken.
Although honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears, the leader has the final say on whether to listen or not.
If I hadn't been in a different mood now, your words and actions today would have brought you death.
The rules of this world are complex and ever-changing, and the game of power is even more cruel and ruthless.
What you think is righteous outspokenness may be seen as an inappropriate offense by others.
Don't think that sincerity can be exchanged for understanding, and don't think that the truth will be accepted readily.
Before you have sufficient power and status, learning to be patient and circumvent is the way to survive."
The words of the Grand Emperor echoed in the empty hall, and every word hit Su Yue's heart like a heavy hammer, making her deeply aware of her own naivety and impulsiveness, and also making her have a deeper respect for the rules of this world.
The Queen Mother sat there quietly, her eyes deep and complex. She could actually understand Su Yue's behavior to a certain extent.
In this world full of competition and uncertainty, who doesn’t want to seize every opportunity that may be beneficial to them?
From a certain perspective, Su Yue's struggle can be regarded as a manifestation of bravery. The Emperor Taihuang admires this bravery in his heart.
However, admiration is admiration, but it does not mean that the emperor will agree with Su Yue's approach.
In the Emperor's opinion, Su Yue's vigilance against others was too simple and weak.
She was always full of enthusiasm and naively believed that others would understand her difficulties and thoughts, but she did not understand that such unreserved honesty would make it easier for those with ulterior motives to take advantage of her.
The Grand Emperor shook his head slightly and sighed inwardly. Su Yue was still too young, and had experienced too little of the world to understand the wickedness of human nature and the complexity of officialdom.
In this officialdom, there are traps everywhere and you need to be cautious at every step. It is far from enough to rely solely on passion and simple ideas.
The Emperor always felt that with Su Yue's current personality and way of dealing with people, he would not go far in officialdom.
Or perhaps, she was simply not suited to survive in this officialdom full of intrigue and scheming. What was needed here was someone who was smooth, sophisticated, scheming, able to assess the situation, and able to get along with everyone.
Su Yue, on the other hand, is too upright and simple. With such a character, she would easily be drowned or even shattered in the whirlpool of officialdom.
The Emperor looked at Su Yue's fearful expression, and although he had many thoughts in his mind, he finally said nothing.
For some things, the advice of those who have experienced it is often futile. Only by experiencing the hardships and setbacks personally can one truly understand the truth behind them.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then picked up the milk beside him again and took a sip. His expression seemed as if he was savoring the mellow aroma of the milk.
Then, she slowly said, "Please hand over the Spring Examination Papers for me to see."
When Su Yue heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and her heart was filled with surprise and gratitude.
She really didn't expect that the emperor had already seen through her little thoughts, but was still willing to cooperate with her.
At this moment, Su Yue's respect for the Emperor increased a little more.
