The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 54 Part 2

In that moment of hesitation, Shen Nian seized the upper hand entirely. "Prefect Su is quite the schemer. Yue Yunzhou has a reputation for being impartial—even His Majesty would weigh his words carefully. You win him over, and then you can pin whatever crime you like on me, can’t you?"

With that, he straightened his back and said with utter conviction, "Your Majesty chose Yue Yunzhou to go to the North Frontier. This humble subject trusts Your Majesty—but I do not trust that man to handle this matter fairly. The moment I thought of him and Prefect Su conspiring to frame me, I was so enraged that I struck out. And… and it was only after I came to my senses that I realized Lord Yue’s leg was broken. I knew I had done wrong, so I called a physician for him and paid the fees myself."

Gungun and Dandan couldn't handle spicy food, so Zhao Ger only added a little soy sauce for them. Even so, the two kids devoured it happily. They couldn't use chopsticks, and spoons didn't work either, so they just grabbed the noodles with their hands, standing by the table and slurping away. The noodles were long—they'd forgotten to cut them while soaking—and the two little ones were practically gasping for air as they sucked down the strands. Usually, a bowl of lean-meat congee was enough to fill them up, but today one bowl wasn't nearly enough.

The Liu family also kept praising the dish.

It wasn't flattery—it really was that good. They ate bowl after bowl.

Hearing the emperor's tone, Lin Xiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Others might not understand the emperor, but he did. The emperor's voice seemed ordinary, yet it carried a trace of anger beneath it.

If the emperor was angry at Shen Nian, then Yue Yunzhou would not have suffered in vain.

The Yue family was allied with the Lin family by marriage. Whatever reason Shen Nian had for attacking Yue Yunzhou, it was also a slap to the Lin family's face.

The next day, Zhao Ger, Zhou Ger, and a few others took three bags of sweet potatoes to the river to wash.

The courtyard they rented didn't have a well—they had to fetch water every day. Sweet potatoes had a lot of mud on them, and one or two loads of water wouldn't wash them clean. It was easier to do it at the river.

Zhou Ger rubbed a sweet potato. "Are we boiling these to eat?"

Guaizai did like sweet potatoes a lot, but three bags at once—how could they finish them all?

Shen Nian and Qi Junzhuo had only met a few times and had never spoken alone. When they met this time, there was a touch of awkwardness at first.

Shen Nian paid little mind to Qi Junzhuo's unusual eyes. In his life, he had seen countless dead men, those missing arms or legs, those scarred by burns or blades—even his own body bore wounds.

Qi Junzhuo's eyes were merely different from most—nothing worth making a fuss over.

These days, as soon as the village children got dressed in the morning, they'd bolt out the door like their pants were on fire, desperate to go play. Guaizai's bicycle and wobble cars were just too much fun. They'd heard that the Prefect had made them especially for Guaizai, Gungun and Dandan, and they were so envious. At noon, they'd rather starve than go home. Day after day, rain or shine, they played by the paper mill, and their laughter could be heard from far, far away.

The women and fulangs had to bring meals over at midday, but they didn't mind—the children were clearly having a great time.

"I've already found out," Shen Nian said quickly in a low voice. "Lord Wen indeed went to see the Left Chancellor yesterday. He made no effort to hide his movements, so it was easily traced."

Shen Nian spoke clearly and methodically, yet for some reason, he felt that this was not what the Emperor had really wanted to say. Vaguely, a sense of disappointment crept over him—as if he had missed something, and the Emperor had now drawn his thoughts back in, becoming once again a sovereign without personal desires.
