Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 92 - 91: The Old Emperor’s Scapegoat
Everyone looked at Xie Xun, but their minds followed Su Juan.
Seeing Su Juan wanted to continue, Xie Xun’s face darkened. He stopped fanning himself, and looked at Liu Xuan, "Alright, alright, I’ll help find the person, is that okay?"
Liu Xuan smiled, with an expression saying ’I knew you would help.’
Only then did Xie Xun look at Su Juan, thinking to himself, hoping this lady could calm down a bit.
Seeing this, Su Juan had a ’I knew it’ look on her face, [These two have a great relationship!]
[Liu Xuan’s friend got into trouble, Xie Xun, though feeling jealous, still eagerly went to help...]
Xie Xun: "..." Never been so speechless in his life.
[Ah, dear heavens, you’ve sweetly blessed my fortune!]
Those who heard this could only laugh and cry, unable to argue with the notions in Su Juan’s mind, the arguments would never end.
...
While they secretly investigated Shen Ruhui’s whereabouts, the spring hunt quietly arrived. The old Emperor, along with civil and military officials and their families, grandly headed to Tianyun Mountain, and even Su Juan, a Junior Sixth Rank official, followed along.
On the way, Su Juan sat in the Duke Mansion’s carriage, occasionally lifting the curtain to look at the scenery outside, [Wow, this Tianyun Mountain is really beautiful, no wonder it’s a royal hunting ground, the old Emperor sure knows how to enjoy life.]
The slowly riding old Emperor heard this and let out a soft snort, this little girl lacked knowledge, what was Tianyun Mountain?
Just wait for the autumn hunt to go to Huating Mountain; that’s truly spectacular, plus the Royal Hunting Palace—this inexperienced girl would probably be dazzled then.
[Wow! There’s actually an eagle! Heavens, I’ve made it, I’ve seen an eagle for the first time in my life!]
Su Juan was excited, having only seen photos and videos before, never a live creature.
The old Emperor and the ministers were puzzled, looking up, where was the eagle?
Upon seeing the flying creature in the distance, the ministers were silent: What eagle... that’s a grey heron!
[But why does this eagle look so clumsy and doltish?]
Someone lightly coughed and whispered, "This Vice Director is quite energetic indeed."
The noblewomen behind, resting quietly in their carriages, while she was so spirited, shouting and yelling.
[It even looks quite like that Minister of War, doltish, hahahaha!!!]
Hearing this, everyone looked at Minister Nie Yunguang, some stifling laughter, indeed, it did look quite like him.
The Vice Director indeed had a sharp eye.
The Minister of War’s face turned dark, hearing Su Juan’s laughter, he gritted his teeth, cursing: you’re the dolt! Your whole family is doltish!
Duke Ping and Prince Jing, riding beside the old Emperor, laughed heartily at Su Juan’s words. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Only Song Qianfan, newly released, had a stern face, hiding his emotions, his mind racing on how to regain his lost favor before the Emperor during this spring hunt.
Beside him, Yu Ting sneered, "She actually mistook a grey heron for an eagle, Qianfan, your Heir Consort, truly lacks knowledge."
Song Qianfan laughed along, "If she can make Cousin laugh, that’s a blessing for her too."
The two laughed heartily, as if ridiculing others gave them significant satisfaction.
Listening on the side, Song Qianhang furrowed his brows, "I think that grey heron also looks like an eagle, it’s distant, mistakes are common, why are Brother and Cousin mocking so?"
No one expected Song Qianhang to speak for Su Juan. A flash of displeasure crossed Song Qianfan’s eyes, remembering how Song Qianhang had helped when Su Juan moved out, his lips tightened, "Qianhang, don’t you think you’ve been getting too close to Su Juan lately?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ting looked towards Song Qianhang, could it be true?
Song Qianhang was unconcerned, "Anyway, you’re going to divorce, what’s wrong with me getting closer to her?"
But Song Qianfan coldly said, "As long as the divorce isn’t finalized, she is still the Heir Consort, as her brother, you should keep your distance, even after divorce, you shouldn’t get too close."
He couldn’t see that Song Qianhang had other thoughts about Su Juan, but this woman belonged to him, Song Qianfan. Even if they divorced, she was still his woman, even if she turned to ashes, Song Qianhang shouldn’t be thinking about her!
Song Qianhang found it amusing, "Brother, you are so unreasonable; it’s you who didn’t cherish her after marrying, it’s you who delays the divorce, you clearly don’t want to get close, yet you want others to distance themselves."
Song Qianfan coldly asked, "You don’t even listen to your brother now?"
The two locked gaze, Song Qianhang looked away, "Of course, I listen to Brother, but it depends on what’s being said."
"Like with Su Juan, I like being close to her, Father hasn’t said anything, are you, Brother, going to stop us too?"
He spoke, openly calling Su Juan by name, clearly provoking Song Qianfan.
Song Qianfan’s face turned unpleasant, "What kind of bewitching potion did that woman feed you, making you speak for her like this?"
"She’s naturally worth speaking up for," Song Qianhang said defiantly, "Just not sure how Su Juan wronged Brother, making you always against her, even roping Cousin to mock her before the civil and military courtiers?"
The matter of Yu Ting embarrassing Su Juan in front of the court was now known by everyone.
Standing by, Yu Ting was also displeased, "Qianhang, how could you speak to your brothers like this over an outsider?"
Just a woman, what was the need?
Seeing Song Qianfan’s face turning darker, Yu Ting scolded Song Qianhang, "Qianhang, aren’t you going to apologize to your brother?"
Song Qianhang retorted, "What should I apologize for?"
"Brother and Cousin should reflect on themselves, ridiculing from behind, troubling a weak woman, is that what a gentleman does?"
With that, he let out a cold snort, tightened his grip on the horse’s belly, pulling the reins, and rode away from the two.
Leaving them with dark faces, not speaking for a long time.
...
The group quickly reached the campsite location, with Su Juan’s tent close to the old Emperor’s main tent. After settling her belongings, she changed into riding attire, preparing to learn horseback riding this time.
Just as she stepped out of her tent, she saw several ministers passing by, apparently just coming from the main tent.
Su Juan greeted them cheerfully, "Hello, everyone."
Minister Mo of the Ministry of Revenue nodded. Seeing Su Juan in riding clothes, he was surprised, "Xiao Su, you can ride?"
Su Juan scratched her head, a bit embarrassed, "Just a little knowledge."
Commander of the Forbidden Army, Yan Zheng, who had just finished inspecting the guard, smiled, "For a young lady to know a little about horsemanship is quite impressive, considering your young age and scant opportunity to be around horses."
The Minister of War, however, snorted coldly, sweeping his sleeves and leaving.
Su Juan was puzzled, [What’s wrong with Minister Nie, who offended him?]
The two ministers exchanged a glance: Who else could have offended him but you, Vice Director, calling him doltish; that Minister of War holds grudges the most.
[Could it be he was just reprimanded by the old Emperor?]
All the ministers: "..."
[Sigh, the old Emperor is really merciless; even out hunting, he scolds people, does he not let them enjoy?]
Meanwhile, changing in the tent, the old Emperor: "???"
You’re talking nonsense!
