After Reading the Minds of the Court, I Only Eat a Little Gossip

Song Tong transmigrated.

Bad news: She was lying in the Imperial Censorate's prison.

Good news: She discovered that she had gained the ability to read minds.

The stern and merciless Deputy Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was a cold, ruthless man in everyone's eyes.

Cui Mu: "Xiao Tong'er has gotten even rounder in the face. I want to pinch her."

Song Tong: ???

Pinching her face... Is he being serious?

Cui Mu: "Her voice is so adorable. It makes me want to..."

"Ah! If only I could bring her home. What a pity... She's from the Song family. I can't."

"So tiny and soft. I want to..."

Song Tong held her face stiffly and stole a careful glance at the aloof, expressionless Cui Mu in front of her.

Excuse me?

This is terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.

Is this really something I'm supposed to hear?

After finishing the case of the missing tax silver, Song Tong went to court in the guise of her third older brother.

And so...

An even more terrifying door opened before Song Tong.

Song Tong cowered nervously in a corner.

Then

She clearly heard the thoughts of every official at court.

Emperor Zhou: "I don't want to attend court. I want to play chess. How can court be more fun than chess?"

The Crown Prince: "Liu Jieyu's waist is so slender and soft! I miss her."

Grand Preceptor Cui: "I heard a batch of calligraphy and paintings has arrived at the thatched cottage. I want to buy some."

Cui Mu: "Xiao Tong'er is even cuter in court clothes. I want to... Another day of wanting to..."

Minister of Revenue: "Winter's coming, so we need to provide disaster relief. The treasury's empty, and the emperor can only think about chess, chess, chess... So annoying! Another day of wanting to resign."

Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices: "There's a tigress at home. Chun'er at Yingchun Pavilion is much better: gentle and sweet, and she speaks so nicely. Another day of not wanting to go home."

Song Tong: ???

So Song Tong hugged herself tightly.

Sob. It's a miracle the Great Zhou Dynasty hasn't fallen.

Is there not a single normal person among all these officials?
