After hearing Lin Yuelan's words, the few nobles and ministers who had wanted to step out instantly shrank back.
Just as Lin Yuelan said, only they knew whether they had such a dream or not.
The crime of deceiving the sovereign was a great crime!
If they really had this dream, then it would be fine. Lin Yuelan's tricks would be useless.
However, they had never had such a dream before. They wanted to stand out this time so that they could be witnesses and tell the Emperor what this dream was about.
However, the crime of deceiving the emperor frightened them so much that they retreated.
They hated Lin Yuelan, but they didn't want to lose their lives and their entire family's lives for a false dream that turned into a crime of lying to the emperor.
They were still rational and self-aware.
