After my whole family overheard my thoughts, they went berserk.

Chapter 012: The Big Scoop That Explodes Among the Officials

On the desk in the Hall of Mental Cultivation were various envelopes.

"Your Majesty, these are all private messages sent by the ministers, instructing this old servant to make sure they are delivered to Your Majesty!" said Eunuch Lu.

Today, he's been receiving so many letters that his hands are sore.

When the Hall of Mental Cultivation was pushed open, several letters fell out. They were all anonymous, but the Emperor was repeatedly instructed to open and read them.

"Let me see what it looks like when Father Emperor's face turns green with anger."

While munching on the token, he still couldn't resist watching the drama unfold.

The emperor was stunned. Could it be that there was something inside that insulted him?

He refused to believe in such nonsense; a few letters were enough to make him furious.

Upon opening the envelope, various ointments and pills fell out, along with helpful instructions on how to take them and the course of treatment.

"Replenishes Yang energy, replenishes kidney Qi, treats Yang deficiency..."

The emperor realized what was happening.

These are all prescriptions for treating erectile dysfunction!

What kind of day was that? Why did they give him so much ointment?

"Father, don't be angry, look again, look again."

She's adorably gossiping every second.

Sure enough, the emperor's face gradually turned green.

They even drew talismans for him and told him to stick them there, saying they could suppress evil spirits, prolong the effect, and help him regain his virility!

"What kind of nonsense is this? Why would anyone bring such things to my Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

The emperor flew into a rage and overturned the items, scattering them in all directions.

Grandpa Lu didn't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear that he might drop the little princess if his hand trembled.

outside the temple.

Rong Lizheng led the entire court officials in a grand procession to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"emperor!"

Rong Li, looking confident of victory, strode to the center of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The officials who hadn't come yesterday also stepped forward and stood beside Rong Lizheng.

However, they found pills, ointments, and prescriptions scattered all over the ground.

Inside the main hall, there was complete silence.

They saw that in the Emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation, instead of various memorials, there were various ointments and pills for treating hidden ailments.

What are those aphrodisiac pills, kidney-tonifying pastes, and erectile dysfunction pills?

There were even talismans involved! This is desperate measures; they're even resorting to quack doctors!

"What are you doing here again?" The emperor was already angry, and seeing the ministers only made him more annoyed.

The ministers exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly.

It is perfectly normal for His Majesty to be ill, emotionally unstable, and prone to irritability.

“Your Majesty, your ministers know you are eager for a cure, but we cannot rush things. I discussed this with my daughter yesterday. She is very concerned about Your Majesty and only hopes that Your Majesty can visit her and the little princess. She doesn’t ask Your Majesty for anything.”

Rong Lizheng spoke loudly, as if afraid the emperor wouldn't hear him.

The ministers stepped forward and unanimously agreed.

"Your Majesty, my sister is the same!"

The emperor's face turned ashen, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Father, don't worry, don't be afraid of them."

Shi Miaomiao drooled; she was here to watch the drama unfold.

The Emperor was captivated by her. He took Shi Miaomiao from Eunuch Lu's hands and held her in his arms. The moment he did, all his troubles vanished.

His daughter has that kind of magic.

"Father, why don't they bow to me?"

They're all so high up, she can't see them.

"Are you all blind? The noble princess of Huayao is right here, why don't you know to pay your respects to her?" the emperor reprimanded sternly.

The ministers then turned their attention away and knelt down to pay their respects to Shi Miaomiao.

"Your subject greets the First Princess of Huayao!"

Shi Miaomiao glanced at everyone; this angle was just right.

Upon seeing this, Rong Lizheng stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

"Your Majesty, I visited Princess Yun at Rongde Palace yesterday, and she is just as lovely as Princess Miaomiao."

"Nonsense, is she prettier than me? Is she cuter than me? Is she kinder than me? No, no, no."

She was afraid my father wouldn't know that she had another daughter.

"Hmph, you old rascal, you're so cunning and wicked. You tricked my father into coming to Qingning Palace, drugged his wine, and then had your ugly daughter seduce him. Poor father, he still doesn't know that it was your daughter who slept with him, not the other way around."

The emperor's ears perked up.

He was furious.

A dignified king was actually deceived by a woman.

"And you, fat-headed and big-eared, are you the Minister of Revenue? Your daughter is no innocent virgin; she was defiled before entering the palace. In the five years since she entered the palace, she hasn't had a single day of rest, having the palace eunuchs take turns serving her every day, having a very wild time."

The emperor clenched his fists.

What a huge green hat!

"General Chen, you've claimed your sister suffers from delusions. It's because of these delusions that she can't get married, which is why you sent her to the palace. You've got some nerve, daring to trick the Emperor! So, what does her illness have to do with my father, the Emperor?"

The emperor looked at his ministers, who were being thoroughly berated by Miao Miao, yet remained calm.

It seems that only he can hear his daughter's true feelings; it feels so good to be ahead of his time!

He couldn't help but look at Shi Miaomiao... Is there more?

Shi Miaomiao glanced around, then looked at Zhao Meng, the Minister of War, and mentally cursed him.

"You too, you said your cousin misses Father Emperor a lot, and it's you who misses him, isn't it? You saw everyone sending people into the palace, and you panicked, but your wife only gave birth to sons, and you don't have a sister, so you sent over your newly acquired concubine. Just three days ago, you were crying in bed every day, saying you missed your sweetheart!"

"Hmph, they're all bad people. Anyone who deceived my father is a bad person."

Shi Miaomiao mentally vented her anger, feeling a sense of relief.

The emperor was kept in the dark, and the ministers even put pressure on him.

They showed no regard for their father's feelings.

"Father, their daughters don't love you. They either cheat you out of your body or your money. Only my mother loves and respects you."

Shi Miaomiao has high expectations for her father, the emperor.

Clenching his little fists, he wanted to punch someone.

The emperor never expected that one day he would be the one to suffer such a fate.

But Miaomiao had no idea that he could hear her thoughts.

Otherwise, she would have to be wary of her from now on, and he wouldn't have heard anything.

"Eunuch Lu, the Hall of Mental Cultivation is noisy. Send the princess back to the Flower Yao Palace."

After Shi Miaomiao left, the Yangxin Hall underwent a major change.

"Snapped!"

The emperor slammed the inkstone to the ground, and the leading officials trembled in fright.

When I looked up again, my face was covered in specks of ink, and I didn't even dare to wipe them off.

Everyone was puzzled as to why the Emperor was so angry.

They were just telling the truth.

"The floods in Gui County are getting worse and worse, and the death toll continues to rise. I have sent people to provide disaster relief, but it is still only a temporary solution. You lot, you sleep soundly and eat well every day, yet you dare to interfere in my internal affairs. I think you are all just bored and have nothing better to do!"

Rong Lizheng explained.

"Your Majesty, I also sent people to assist in the matter of Gui County. It was a natural disaster and a man-made calamity, and there was nothing we could do about it!"

The emperor was even more furious upon hearing this.

"So this is a 'natural disaster' and 'man-made disaster'? Then tell me, which were natural disasters and which were man-made? My taking your daughter as a concubine, wasn't that man-made?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Lizheng trembled, his face stiffened, and he tried to explain repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, my daughter gave birth to your little princess. In any case, she has done a great service to the royal family. I hope Your Majesty understands my good intentions. I am absolutely loyal to the court!"

The emperor sneered.

Loyal?

A painstaking effort?
