Since returning from Tianyun Mountain, Su Juan has been avoiding morning court under the guise of being unwell, to the point where the Old Emperor really thought she was sick. He even sent an Imperial Physician to the Su Mansion to check on her. After that, a decree was issued in the court, strictly forbidding courtiers from shirking their duties. If caught, they would be fined half a year's salary and receive ten lashes.
Realizing she couldn't hide any longer, Su Juan reluctantly prepared herself to attend court the next day.
Normally, whenever she saw her colleagues, whether familiar or not, she would always greet them. But today, she kept her head down the entire time as she passed through the crowd, trying hard to minimize her presence. But alas, things didn't go as she wished.
[Hahahaha! What's that hole on the Minister of War's butt!!!]
