When the imperial edict was presented to Li Muge by the eunuch.

Her lips trembled slightly.

“I will not accept it. I cannot agree to it. Father-in-law, this is clearly a matter between me and the Regent. Why is the royal decree involved?”

The chief eunuch beside the new emperor chuckled smugly, his voice sarcastic: "The Regent's Consort doesn't know yet, but this decree wasn't issued by His Majesty himself; it was requested by your father."

“He was afraid that after you learned magic, you would not be able to take good care of the Regent. Women are supposed to put their husbands first and follow their sons after their husbands die. Marquis Zhenyuan appealed to your emotions and reasoned with you, and persuaded our Emperor to write this decree.”

"What? Father? It's impossible! Why would Father do this?" Tears streamed down Li Muge's face.

The chief eunuch was shocked to discover that both of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's daughters were stunningly beautiful.

The eldest daughter possesses striking beauty and allure, but her lack of confidence sometimes makes people overlook her beauty.

The second daughter of the legitimate wife is gentle and charming, with unparalleled beauty, and is also the most talented woman in the Eastern Luo Kingdom.

In fact, the old eunuch couldn't understand why the Marquis of Zhenyuan would prevent his eldest daughter from becoming a disciple of Ziyang Palace.

You should know how many people in this world would never have the chance to learn magic, even if they racked their brains.

Moreover, this is especially true for a major sect like Ziyang Palace that cultivates immortality.

"Princess Regent, please accept the decree."

The chief eunuch around the new emperor essentially said, "Li Muge, just accept your fate."

But Li Muge didn't want to admit it.

She made a reaction that surprised everyone present.

Li Muge tore the new emperor's decree in half.

“I will not accept this decree, Your Excellency. Even if it is the Regent’s order, I will not listen to it. My fate is in my own hands.”

"You... Li Muge, how dare you!" The chief eunuch's shrill voice exploded in Li Muge's ears.

"Men, seize this audacious woman for us."

Tearing up an imperial edict in public and showing contempt for imperial authority is a capital offense punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

Li Muge stood still, clutching the torn half of the imperial edict tightly in her hand.

So-called family affection is nothing more than this.

She doesn't want it anymore.

"Let's see who dares." Yun Qi slowly walked in through the gate of the mansion, his figure tall and slender: "You are quite arrogant, daring to come and bully my queen while I am not here."

Yun Qi held a folding fan in his hand.

The painting on the fan is not a landscape, but several skeletons struggling in the darkness.

The chief eunuch had seen too many people die at the hands of the regent over the years, so he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Your Highness, spare me! It was the Princess who tore up His Majesty's decree. I was only acting according to the rules!"

“Rules.” Yun Qi sneered, “Are you saying that my queen doesn’t understand the rules?”

"Hahaha, what a joke."

Li Muge was being escorted by guards, her pupils slightly open.

The next moment, all that could be seen was Yun Qi waving his folding fan.

The chief eunuch, who had just been smugly boasting, had his throat slit and collapsed to the ground.

Blood was flowing on the ground.

"Regent, spare my life!"

The guards holding Li Muge immediately released her and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly.

A hint of disgust flashed across Ke Yunqi's eyes, and he was about to make a move.

Li Muge suddenly strode forward to Yun Qi's side and took his hand.

"Your Majesty, since they have realized their mistake, let's give them another chance."

"What, you don't like me killing people?" Yun Qi's brows grew cold as he pressed his blood-stained folding fan against Li Muge's throat.

With just a light swipe.

That would slit Li Muge's throat, causing his life to quickly wither away.

"No, I just feel that the Regent is blessed by Heaven. You have killed so many people, what will happen to your punishment after death?"

Wei Tao gasped. Was Princess Mu Ge going to threaten the Regent with some kind of karmic retribution?

I still remember the last person who told the Regent that those who treat human life as worthless will surely be punished.

Even if you die, you will go to the eighteenth level of hell.

The regent cut off all four of his limbs, and gouged out his tongue and eyes.

They also asked a doctor to examine that person every day.

They just wouldn't let that person die.

Let him live in this world, a life worse than death.

Li Muge wasn't thinking about that at the moment; all she could think about was preventing the Regent from killing anyone.

What if the regent really goes to hell?

"Li Muge, do you care about me?" Yun Qi understood what Li Muge really meant.

"Mm." Li Muge was about to nod when Yun Qi pushed her away.

Yun Qi's expression was cold: "I don't need your concern. Even in hell, I am still the king."

Li Muge sighed inwardly. The Regent's mood was so unpredictable, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, those guards survived.

After the guards returned to the palace, they hurriedly told the new emperor everything they had seen in the Regent's Palace.

The new emperor was furious.

Just as the emperor was about to issue an edict to arrest Li Muge on charges of disrespecting the emperor, the Empress Dowager arrived at the crucial moment.

The new emperor immediately put down his pen and went down to pay his respects.

Before he could even finish saying "Empress Dowager," the Empress Dowager slapped him across the face.

"Mother, why are you hitting me?"

The Empress Dowager dismissed her attendants and sternly rebuked him: "Your Majesty, I hit you in the hope that you will use your brain. Don't you even think about it?"

"What right do we have to fight the Regent now? He's a madman. If we really anger him, what will we do?"

"Don't even think about securing this position, my son! You might not even be able to save your life."

The new emperor's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth: "Mother, must we really continue to endure this?"
