Chapter 1296: The Emperor Is Pregnant 10
The two guards standing at the entrance of the hall had blank expressions.
Completely indifferent.
Of course, their eyes couldn’t help but glance at the elder statesman.
Our Prince is truly impressive.
To make this revered Three Dynasty Elder, who prided himself on being cultured and rarely appeared, curse like a market woman.
Look at his sweaty head.
Spit flying everywhere.
He’s seventy years old.
He’s been cursing here for almost thirty minutes.
If he keeps at it, he might faint before the Prince even needs to execute him.
After a while, Prime Minister Zhao seemed a bit tired.
He leaned on the stone table beside him to rest for a moment.
Su Yan silently ate her meal, but finally she had her fill.
She stood up.
Wiped her mouth and walked towards the hall.
As soon as she approached Prime Minister Zhao,
Prime Minister Zhao suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Su Yan.
"Quickly report to Situ Xiu, tell him to come see me!!"
Prime Minister Zhao was so angry that the veins on his forehead were about to burst.
He had been shouting here for so long and still no sign of Situ Xiu.
Being grabbed like that, Su Yan reflexively shook him off.
That slight shake was enough; Prime Minister Zhao, with his weak body, stumbled back a couple of steps, and with a crunch,
his old back hit the stone table.
The next second, he was sprawled on the ground.
Su Yan was taken aback.
This, this wasn’t her fault, right?
She crouched down to help him up.
"Prime Minister Zhao, are you okay?"
Prime Minister Zhao trembled as he pointed a finger at Su Yan’s nose, not sure if it was from anger or pain.
"You, you, how dare you assault a court official?? The Situ Family truly has no good people!!"
Su Yan replied seriously,
"It was you who touched me first. It’s because your health is poor that you fell."
Prime Minister Zhao probably didn’t expect such a low-ranking guard to dare talk back to him.
"Insolence!!"
Initially, Su Yan had helped him up to sit.
It was clear that the old man intended to accuse her unjustly.
She let go and stood aside.
Bang.
The man who just sat up was back on the ground again.
His back was injured again.
Now Prime Minister Zhao truly couldn’t get back up.
Furious, he didn’t lower his finger that was pointed at Su Yan.
His finger kept trembling.
"You, you, someone come!! Arrest her for insubordination!!"
Even though Prime Minister Zhao knew it wasn’t intentional,
he was so angry that he intended to reprimand her a bit.
He didn’t plan to punish her.
But seeing a mere guard dare to talk back and even throw him down again,
standing aside without a care.
Simply outrageous!
The door at the hall entrance creaked open.
Situ Xiu appeared, clad in luxurious robes and crowned with a Jade Crown, exuding nobility at first glance.
With a smile, he spoke,
"Prime Minister Zhao, what is the meaning of this? Do you plan to remain here indefinitely?"
Prime Minister Zhao, enraged, yelled,
"Situ Xiu! How dare your people treat me so rudely?!"
Situ Xiu looked at Su Yan.
Su Yan jogged over to Situ Xiu’s side, her voice soft and gentle,
"He tried to stop me. I accidentally knocked him over.
I wanted to help him up; he refused.
Then he accused me of insubordination."
After listening, Situ Xiu looked at her innocent face.
A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.
"Guards"
"My Lord"
"What are you standing there for? Hurry and carry Prime Minister Zhao back to his residence.
If he breathes his last here, even I won’t be able to explain it."
Hearing Situ Xiu blatantly favor Su Yan, Prime Minister Zhao was so furious his nose almost skewed.
