"Shi Yun, I won't allow the Office of Censors to touch him. Bring our son here right now!"
Is that really what you mean?
Shi Yun lowered his head, trying hard to suppress the emotions within, not wanting anyone to see his moment of vulnerability.
There’s no need for me to lie to you about this.
Cui Lan! How dare you!
I only have one son. If the father doesn’t protect him, then as his mother, I must bear everything myself.
He has committed grave sins; do you treat the law of the Court as a joke?
A mere handful of commoners' lives, and they still want to blame my child for it!
Cui Lan, don’t forget that among those lives lost, there was also a royal relative!
What does a debauched person count as a royal relative? Early in the Morning brought this upon himself by colliding with my son; he deserved to lose his life and dragged Yang'er into this mess.
You’ve used this excuse before, and now you’re still saying the same thing. Truly unrepentant.
Seeing Shi Yun angry, Cui Lan instead threatened him, saying that although saving Yang'er was something she did privately, when seeking help, she used his name.
I told them that you couldn’t bear to part with your position as Chancellor, so on the surface, you acted with righteousness against your own kin but secretly plotted to save your child.
It didn’t take much persuasion; they believed it because people like you who act against their own family are truly rare.
I must say, your reputation is quite effective; those people worked quickly and within two days helped me rescue Yang'er.
Shi Yun, once Yang'er falls into the hands of the Office of Censors, it won’t be long before all of Jingjing City knows about it, and I certainly won’t escape from this.
Whether you can escape depends entirely on my words. If you want to live, agree to three conditions.
First, bring back Yang'er’s body intact; do not let the Coroner touch him!
Second, find out the cause of his death and take revenge for him.
Third, your Great-Grandson must die! Without him, Yang'er wouldn’t have had to come running here in desperation and met with disaster; your Great-Grandson is the root cause of it all. When Yang'er is buried, his head must be offered as a sacrifice!
Seeing Shi Yun glare at her with dark eyes, Cui Lan laughed maniacally. What? You can’t bear it? Although you are old now, it doesn’t mean you can’t have more children. Once I am executed, no one will stop you; marry a few more wives and try harder—you won’t have to worry about not having children.
Shi Yun retorted, "Your Majesty is wise and knows my character; your intention to frame me will be uncovered by the Office of Censors with my full cooperation."
"Shi Yun," Cui Lan said mockingly, "you’re being too naive. The Cui Family has many factions; if just one person bites down hard enough, they can make sure you die without a trace."
Cui Family There are people; I'm not without support. Cui Lan knew that Shi Yang must have received help to get out of prison, and during the Court debate, it was uncertain who would come out on top.
Cui Lan felt a rush of panic but quickly steadied herself. When I sought help using your name, I even left behind evidence that could be detrimental to you.
Shi Yun remarked, "Wasn't it your Second Brother who helped you? Perhaps a few of your other brothers lent a hand as well. Cui Old Man has a strong grip on the family; he must be aware of everything, likely turning a blind eye to it all."
The cleanest among your family is probably Cui Qianwu, given that he is the most capable and talented. That's why all the dirty work falls to others to handle.
