Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 132: It’s Fine, I Can Endure It

The Old Emperor cursed under his breath, and the courtiers lowered their heads. This Vice Director really had a hard life, for across the entire nation, there was truly no one else who dared to have the Emperor bear responsibility for their actions.

The Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables has resigned to his fate, but the Minister of the Imperial Guard stood up, with his head held high and chest out, confidently saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that the words of the Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice are erroneous. Being one of the Six Ministries, the Ministry of Justice should set an example..."

The Old Emperor narrowed his cold eyes a bit, growing somewhat impatient. Are these people truly so clueless as to cause chaos in the Ministry of Justice for their personal desires?

It seems that today, his temper could not be contained.

The Old Emperor was about to slam the table and throw a tantrum to end court, but before he could stand and speak, a familiar voice sounded first.

[Ah, it’s the Minister of the Imperial Guard...]

Hearing this voice, the Old Emperor sat back down comfortably. There was no rush; he’d wait for Su Juan to speak a few words.

The Minister of the Imperial Guard snorted coldly. The Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables had an incompetent darling, but not Mr. Zhan; he was afraid of nothing!

At this moment, the other officials didn’t rush to speak out but leisurely waited for Su Juan to open her mouth.

Not disappointing everyone’s expectations, Su Juan pulled up the Minister of the Imperial Guard’s previous records on her panel, [This Minister Zhan is quite responsible and conscientious in his official duties, with no mistakes or omissions to catch.]

The Minister of the Imperial Guard straightened his back. Ha, he had always conducted his affairs meticulously, unlike others who were riddled with errors and omissions.

He glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables with a look of disdain evident in his expression. So long as one conducts oneself properly on a daily basis, there’s nothing to fear from what others say.

Look at that, a mere Vice Director, and Su Juan still couldn’t handle Mr. Zhan.

The Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables nearly cursed aloud.

The officials were deeply disappointed. They truly hadn’t expected that even Su Juan couldn’t tackle this Minister Zhan, someone so strict with himself was indeed intimidating.

It was said that in daily life, when dining out with friends, he meticulously split every silver coin, and with colleagues at a tavern, he would pay precisely for every ounce of liquor he drank, never taking advantage of others, nor allowing others to take advantage of him.

The Old Emperor remained seated with steady eyes, confident that Su Juan wouldn’t let him down.

In the next second, Su Juan exclaimed, [Wow! This Minister Zhan actually...]

The previously disappointed crowd immediately perked up their ears. A scandal was at hand!

They thought, how could anyone be truly spotless without even a minor blemish? Impossible, absolutely impossible, hahaha.

The Old Emperor squinted his eyes: This girl won’t disappoint me.

The Minister of the Imperial Guard’s heart skipped a beat, but outwardly he remained calm, his back ramrod straight. He inwardly reminded himself: Su Juan hadn’t said anything, so he must not disarray his own front.

She’s not omniscient, so how could she know everything?

[Tsk, really couldn’t tell...]

The crowd was suddenly anxious. Can’t tell what? Just say it, it’s killing us!

The Old Emperor was anxious as well. If it weren’t for his status, he’d even feel like running down there to pry open Su Juan’s head himself.

Every day, just dragging things out, can’t it be a bit straightforward?

Su Juan rubbed her chin, [Tsk tsk, who could’ve thought, Minister Zhan, who appears to be such a serious person, actually has this kind of quirk!]

The Minister of the Imperial Guard’s heart skipped a fierce beat. Impossible; how could she know? Impossible, impossible.

The crowd was all on edge, urging her to speak quickly.

[Actually likes smelling the stench of his own toenail clippings, oh my!!!]

The court instantly erupted in an uproar! My goodness!

The Minister of the Imperial Guard flushed red, feeling utterly disgraced amidst the low murmurings around him.

The Old Emperor was stunned: This, this, this... how could someone have such a hobby?

[Every night before bed, he would dismiss everyone and pick his toes alone in his room, finding this particular odor intoxicating, unable to resist, hahaha.]

Someone coughed lightly, reluctantly admitting, but the scent indeed had a bit of an allure... Couldn’t possibly be just me thinking this, right?

The officials shook their heads repeatedly: None of us pick our toes!

This act was truly a disgrace to decorum.

Someone, however, grew curious: Could the smell of picked toes really be that intoxicating?

At this moment, the Minister of the Imperial Guard just wanted to find a hole to bury himself in. He even wanted to slap himself a few times: Why did you have to be so hasty, why did you have to stand out at this moment!

The crowd looked at the Minister of the Imperial Guard with sympathy, wondering why he bothered provoking her.

The Old Emperor covered his lips, suppressing his laughter; he was not the kind of Emperor who took pleasure in his ministers’ embarrassments.

[Wow! He even likes to smell...]

The Old Emperor pricked up his ears...

"Your Majesty!" The Minister of the Imperial Guard shouted, echoing through the Golden Hall!

This shout directly interrupted Su Juan’s chain of thought: [What?]

She looked around confusedly, [What’s going on again here?]

The crowd, with ears just lifted, had no choice but to let them fall back helplessly, sighing - just a bit more, just a bit more.

The Old Emperor was also quite disappointed.

Only to see the Minister of the Imperial Guard, with a flushed face, under everyone’s gaze, speaking in a hushed voice, "Your humble servant also believes that the words of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables make sense!"

The Old Emperor, however, felt inexplicably a bit sad, and so did everyone else.

The Minister of the Imperial Guard was panicking.

The Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables cursed quietly to himself a couple of times: Aren’t you, Mr. Zhan, supposed to be aloof?

Just a mere Su Juan, what are you backing down for?

Su Juan was surprised, [So Minister Zhan was threatened by the Old Emperor too?]

The courtiers: "..." The pot on His Majesty’s head must be tremendously heavy.

The Old Emperor swore: I, as the reigning Son of Heaven, would never do such despicable things!

At this moment, the Minister of the Imperial Guard just wanted to minimize his presence, lowering his head and making no more noise, becoming the second Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables.

[Couldn’t be, Minister Zhan’s quirks weren’t well known; could it be he was caught sneaking a whiff of someone else’s fart?]

As soon as these words came out, the hall burst into a frenzy—!!!

The Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables was overjoyed, saying more would do, just keep talking about it, now everyone would remember Minister Zhan sneaking a whiff of others’ farts, who could remember his own doings?

At this point, the Minister of the Imperial Guard felt he couldn’t face anyone anymore. However, he didn’t dare let things slide, fearing Su Juan would reveal more.

The Old Emperor looked at the Minister of the Imperial Guard with a bit of sympathy: Even I wouldn’t dare provoke this girl; why did you?

The Minister of the Imperial Guard was filled with regret; if he could do it over, he wouldn’t have even let out a peep.

In front of the life-and-death uncertainty of the Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Stables and the quirks inviting disdain of the Minister of the Imperial Guard, now even the Minister of War, giving all sorts of glances to colleagues, no one dared to advise at this moment.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and others breathed a sigh of relief; now the Ministry of Justice could finally settle down, and soon, he would be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

The forces of Prince Han and Prince Jing, despite any dissatisfaction, dared not start any trouble now.

The Old Emperor was extremely satisfied, immediately dismissing the court.

He hadn’t walked far when he heard Su Juan’s voice drift over...

[The Old Emperor is really something, I tell you, always threatening his ministers. Tsk tsk tsk, really shouldn’t provoke such people...]

"..."

[Otherwise, you won’t even have any underwear left.]

The Old Emperor gritted his teeth, striving to keep calm: It’s alright, not a big deal, bear with it.
