"What a wonderful woman who can't bear the burden of carrying on the family line. My Luo Luo, I've prayed for her for so many years, and she's finally married me."

I've been too busy to pamper her, protect her, and love her. When did it become your place to point fingers?

All you do all day is get me concubines, you deserve to die!

"My Luo Luo, through countless near-death experiences, carried on the Mo family line and gave birth to Zeyan and Qianyue. You have no idea how much suffering she endured, after all, the pain is not felt by you."

You bunch of old fogies, tell me, my queen and I are deeply in love, and we have both a son and a daughter.

Why should I, a king, go through all that trouble and gain nothing but becoming that damned emperor? And why should I marry women who are even a fraction as good as Luo Luo?

"You keep saying you're doing this for the sake of the nation and its people."

"Very well, I ask you, where were you when they lost their homes and families in war? Where were you when they suffered from floods? Where were you when they endured the torment of bandits?"

"The imperial court provides disaster relief supplies and money every year, so why are the people in the disaster areas still suffering in dire straits?"

Tell me, why?

Don't let your status as a veteran of three reigns and a loyal shareholder give you the right to act lawlessly and recklessly.

“My elder brother is useless, and you all ride on his head.”

He dares not punish you, but I dare; he dares not cut off your heads, but I dare; he dares not exterminate your entire family, but I dare.

"You've all been living in comfort for too long. Have you forgotten the privileges the late Emperor granted me?"

After Mo Beichen finished speaking, seeing the ministers' fearful expressions, he slowly felt a sense of relief.

"Even if I weren't the emperor, I could still punish you. Do you think you can get away with anything just because you have some merit?"

"Mo Feng and Mo Yu, throw them out. Out of sight, out of mind."

Seeing their faces turn pale and then red, Mo Beichen felt a surge of anger when he thought of the people suffering in dire straits.

After saying that, Mo Beichen walked into the study without looking back.

At first, cries and pleas for mercy could be heard from outside, but they quickly subsided.

Mo Beichen sat at his desk, composed himself, and looked at the mountain of memorials piled up on the table.

These past few days, the ministers have been kneeling at the entrance to the study, ignoring all official business.

Mo Beichen took the opportunity to intercept the memorials sent from various places, and he read them one by one.

He wanted to know how much the information reported from these local areas differed from what the ministers wrote in their memorials.

After a while, Mo Feng walked in.

"Your Highness, those ministers are kneeling at the gate of the mansion and refuse to leave. A large number of people have already gathered around. If this continues, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence." Mo Feng said with a somewhat conflicted expression.

In his view, it was not worth it to have such a tense relationship with the ministers over some trivial matters in the harem.

Moreover, throughout history, there has never been a case of an emperor having only one woman in his harem.

Although the princess is indeed very good, for the sake of the royal offspring, the prince could actually choose several more princesses.

Mo Feng really didn't understand why the prince insisted on doing this.

What if those senile ministers really do choose someone else to be emperor?

Mo Beichen remained looking down at the memorial in his hand, and said calmly, "You also think this is inappropriate?"

Mo Feng sensed the dissatisfaction in Mo Beichen's words and hurriedly knelt down, saying, "This subordinate dares not."

Mo Beichen closed the memorial and looked at Mo Feng kneeling on the ground.

She said slowly, "Mo Feng, in this world, if there is one person who is worthy of me, that person can only be Luo Luo."

Moreover, I believe it is I who am unworthy of Luo Luo, not the other way around.

"Besides, without her, I would no longer be in this world."

Mo Beichen's last words abruptly pulled Mo Feng back to reality.

Mo Feng was jolted awake. Yes, how could he have forgotten?

Without the princess, the prince would have long lost the will to live.

In the harsh, cold frontier, in the nights of hunger and cold, in the perilous moments when he was stabbed multiple times and had a high fever, it was because of the Princess that the Prince had the courage to live and persevere day after day.

At that time, there was no regent, no prince, only an unknown young general, who silently strived for his goal step by step.

And this goal is called Cloudfall.

After Mo Feng figured it out, he stopped worrying about it.

"However, the way the old ministers are acting outside makes me worry that they might ruin the Princess's reputation." Mo Feng changed his perspective when discussing this matter with Mo Beichen.

Mo Beichen raised his eyes and glanced at Mo Feng. That penetrating look made Mo Feng quickly lower his head.

The prince's eyes were terrifying.

He was afraid that if he hesitated even for a second, the prince would discover his intentions.

Mo Beichen withdrew his gaze and calmly said, "Are they the only ones with mouths?"

Mo Feng was taken aback, seemingly not understanding what this meant.

Mo Yu brought in tea and was immediately excited upon hearing this.

"Yes, do they think they're the only ones with mouths? The Princess and the Prince have such a good relationship, how could they bear to separate them..."

As Mo Yu finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Upon meeting the prince's gaze, he instantly realized what was happening.

She quickly changed her tune, saying, "No matter how they try to twist the truth, the Prince and Princess won't be separated. Hmph, since it's inconvenient for us to intervene, I'll have someone speak to them..."

By the way, even before the prince has ascended the throne, they've been pressuring him to hold a selection of concubines.

The prince and princess were deeply in love, and the prince vowed to be with her for life, so he reluctantly refused the ministers' good intentions.

The prince knew that the country could not be without a ruler for a day, so he specially suggested to his ministers that they choose one of the other princes. However, they did not appreciate the suggestion and are now kneeling at the gate of the mansion, even slandering the prince.

"Hmph, that's really too much."

Mo Yu grew angrier the more she talked.

Suddenly, he slammed the tray down on the table, ignoring Mo Beichen's gloomy expression.

He said hurriedly, "Your Highness, those old bastards dare to slander you like this! I really can't stand it! I'll go find someone right now. Humph, do they really think they have mouths?"

After finishing speaking, Mo Yu ignored Mo Feng's attempts to stop her and ran off like the wind.

Mo Feng looked at Mo Beichen somewhat awkwardly.

Mo Beichen stared in the direction Mo Yu had left, and suddenly a smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Coming to her senses, she saw Mo Feng standing to the side and said coldly, "Learn more from Mo Yu."

After saying that, he shook his head again, "Never mind, there's no need to learn it."

It's good for him to have a reliable person by his side.

"What's the situation between the Northern Moon Kingdom and the Eastern Martial Kingdom?" Mo Beichen adjusted his posture and picked up a memorial to read again.

Mo Feng was still a little confused about what Mo Beichen had said earlier.

Upon hearing Mo Beichen's question, he hurriedly replied, "Just as Your Highness predicted, the Emperor of Beiyue Kingdom wrote a letter to the Emperor of Dongwu Kingdom. The two countries have been in close contact, and envoys have been traveling back and forth many times. It does seem like they are preparing to join forces."
