Chapter 1327: The Emperor Is Pregnant 42
You said it was okay, didn’t you?
"I think, in your current state, it’s not quite okay."
Little Red had just been happily wagging its tail, but in the next moment, it wilted.
Lying flat in Su Yan’s hand, playing dead.
Su Yan silently stroked Little Red’s head.
Recalling Little Red’s question just now.
A face flashed in her mind.
She said seriously,
"I like them fair-skinned, with big eyes,"
Su Yan’s limited adjectives.
This was all she could describe.
Little Red listened and nodded vigorously.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss"
I’ll try my best.
After speaking, it wagged its tail again and slithered out of Su Yan’s palm.
As it moved, Little Red naively asked Su Gu
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss"
What do you like?
"Ugly ones."
Little Red snorted.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss"
I am a handsome snake.
Still a majestic and powerful snake.
Just as it was speaking, there was a bang.
Little Red didn’t pay attention and bumped into a pillar.
"Fool, do you have eyes on your tail? Can’t you see such a big pillar?"
Su Gu snapped back the moment it realized.
Little Red felt embarrassed.
It said softly,
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss"
I’m about to transform into a human.
I’ll be powerful too.
Su Gu said nothing.
After a while,
It said,
"Focus on your seclusion."
Little Red wiggled its body.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss"
Of course.
Little Red spoke again,
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss"
I’ll come out soon.
You don’t need to think about me.
Su Gu
"As long as you don’t die in there."
If you’re dead inside, how would you stay in the space?
A poisonous insect and a snake, conversing back and forth, swayed forward.
That afternoon, in Duke Ning Mansion, many things were found.
Forged account books, a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry.
Also, letters that hadn’t been burned.
Thus, in the evening, everyone in Duke Ning was detained.
For three days straight, there were no interrogations.
Every day, they received twenty strokes.
Beaten until their skin burst.
It was heard that Ning Guoxia of the mansion fainted after the first beating.
Su Yan attended court, processing many memorials.
The majority were speaking in defense of Duke Ning Mansion.
In the eyes of these officials,
The current Empress dared not truly execute Xia Guoning’s family.
They even suggested a further investigation before releasing them.
The Empress did not hold power.
Moreover, the Empress’s mother was from Duke Ning’s Mansion.
It was precisely the time to rely on Duke Ning Mansion.
How could a scandal occur now?
Su Yan read the names on the memorials one by one.
Sorted them.
There were over a dozen, all pleading for leniency.
Claiming the punishment was excessive, pleading for mercy.
Accusations that Ning Guoxia was dutiful and could not have committed treason.
Some even lecturing her,
’During your new reign, rash actions should be avoided; relying on one-sided words to imprison important ministers is unwise.’
They dared to be so blatant,
They assumed Su Yan, being just a woman, hadn’t seen much of the world?
Handling state affairs was a joke when it came to Su Yan.
Su Yan took out the memorials that pleaded for leniency.
Handed them to Qing Wan beside her.
"Take people to investigate these homes.
If anything suspicious is found, lock them directly in prison.
Let the Deputy Officer take their positions."
Qing Wan accepted the memorials with both hands, nodding
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After speaking, Qing Wan hesitated for a moment, but still said,
"Your Majesty, once these investigations are complete, the court might be empty."
Su Yan raised her head,
"Are you worried about shaking the foundation of the country?"
Qing Wan nodded,
"Yes"
