A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

Su Aige already had a plan in mind.

The most urgent matter at present is...

First, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the emperor.

Secondly, it is imperative to ensure that this unborn child can be born safely and without incident.

......

Just at this time,

An extremely serious question suddenly jumped into her mind:

What kind of punishment will those who intend to rebel receive?

She realized this was no small matter and hurriedly turned to look at Wang Er beside her, asking anxiously.

Wang Er opened his small, crimson mouth, but uttered such cold words with a blank expression: "Exterminate his entire family."

......

Upon hearing this answer, Su Aige gasped and blurted out a curse:

"My grass!"

In an instant, she lost all her previous leisurely mood for drinking cola.

......

Meanwhile, on the other side, the emperor, who had been undisturbed for a long time and had enjoyed a period of peace and quiet,

He was sitting in the imperial study, intently reviewing the mountain of memorials.

Suddenly, a familiar yet noisy sound burst into his ears without warning:

"How exactly should we plead with the emperor on his behalf?"

......

Then came another monologue:

"Should we just tell the Emperor directly?"

Oh, Your Majesty!

Please, please don't sentence the mother of that child who attempted to usurp your throne and seize your vast empire to death!

Is it because I'm still thinking of having this child steal your bitter tea seeds for me after he's born?

......

Just as the emperor was muttering "what bitter tea seed" with suspicion,

He couldn't help but recall the scene a few days earlier when the Minister of Revenue came to report the abundant harvest of sweet potato cuttings.

A faint smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Nevertheless, the emperor felt somewhat helpless and confused by the increasingly erratic behavior of this Commander Su.

......

It should be noted that this novel and unique method of propagation was actually a sudden inspiration that Su Aige came up with while strolling through the Imperial Study.

As luck would have it, the emperor happened to be passing by and overheard it.

Then came the ingenious solution that amazed everyone in the Ministry of Revenue.

The officials and staff of the Ministry of Revenue were all amazed by their emperor's extensive knowledge and extraordinary insight.

Little did they know that this ingenious idea truly originated from the unassuming Su Aige.

......

What unexpected ideas will this Commander Su come up with now?

The emperor pondered this to himself, filled with suspicion.

Now, regarding the case of the intention to rebel,

Yesterday, the Prime Minister Wang and his son, the General, came to the Emperor to apologize, stating that they had captured a person who was plotting a rebellion.

This person turned out to be a pregnant woman.

......

Although the emperor was extremely wary of anyone who attempted to usurp his throne, he was not so cruel as to put a pregnant woman to death.

However, just as the tiger tally, which had been missing for a long time, appeared before him,

Only then did the emperor begin to believe this seemingly unbelievable thing.

......

However, even so, he still couldn't forget the bizarre scene of the tiger tally mysteriously disappearing that day.

He clearly remembered that there was absolutely no one else around that day, and the surrounding defenses were impregnable.

Not only were there many guards, but also a considerable number of eunuchs and palace maids attending to them at all times.

But the crucial tiger tally mysteriously vanished right before his eyes.

......

Therefore, when Emperor Yihao heard about this from Su Aige, he immediately became interested.

He was filled with curiosity and questions about how this incident actually happened.

After all, he has always been known for his reasoning and emphasis on evidence, and is by no means the kind of person who would abuse torture to extract confessions without distinguishing right from wrong.

......

For this reason, Miss Tian is still being held in the Wang family's residence, and is being guarded by several senior palace maids sent from the palace.

These female officials were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

I really can't understand why His Majesty would send them to take care of a pregnant woman who is also a minister's concubine.

However, they were well aware of the rules of the palace and knew it was best to avoid inquiring about the affairs of those in power.

Therefore, despite their suspicions, the female officials still obeyed the emperor's orders and guarded Miss Tian closely without daring to leave her side for even a moment.

......

The emperor already had many doubts about the matter, and now he was even more eager to get more details from Su Aige.

However, unexpectedly,

Perhaps because Su Aige was getting further and further away, her voice became weaker and weaker.

The emperor listened intently, but could only vaguely make out words such as "cola," "bitter tea," and "belt."

This caused the emperor to frown, pondering inwardly what these strange words might mean.

How are they intricately connected to the whole event?

......

The emperor frowned, his heart filled with helplessness, but he dared not show it.

He could only feign nonchalance and casually ask:

"Who's in charge of guarding the Imperial Study today?"

......

The young eunuch beside him quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, it is Commander Su on duty."

The emperor nodded slightly, then instructed, "Go and invite him in."

The young eunuch wore a meaningful expression, as if he had everything under control, and slowly walked out.

......

At this moment, the young eunuch, whom the emperor was watching, walked out the door with cheerful steps.

He couldn't help but ponder to himself,

Ever since he was able to hear Su Aige's inner thoughts,

The behavior of the people around me seems to have become somewhat unpredictable.

......

Just as the emperor was deep in thought, not long after,

A joyful shout came from afar: "Your Majesty, you were looking for me?!"

The emperor was startled by the sudden shout and said irritably:

"I'm not deaf! There's no need to shout like that."

......

After regaining his composure, the emperor put on a kind and gentle expression and asked:

"How have you been lately, Minister Su?"

Su Aige hurriedly replied, "Thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing, I am doing well."

The emperor smiled and nodded, and for a moment the two remained silent.

......

After a brief silence, the emperor said, seemingly casually:

"Minister Su, today Prime Minister Wang recounted a bizarre and strange case to me. What are your thoughts on it?"

Su Aige looked puzzled and asked in return:

"Your Majesty, this case should be handled by the Court of Judicial Review or the Ministry of Justice. Why have you come to me?"

Su Aige felt that this emperor was young and handsome, and didn't have the bad temper that was rumored. He was also said to be virtuous and upright.

Therefore, having no sense of hierarchy to begin with, she couldn't possibly be afraid of the emperor.

......

But what I really think is different:

"I usually just know how to eat, drink, and have fun. I'm completely clueless about cases like this!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor

He remained silent in his heart.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly carefree Minister Su was actually quite self-aware.

......
