"Ah Hao..."

"Your Majesty, please give your orders."

"I want to walk by myself."

"Ah..." The Hall of Supreme Harmony is actually not far from the Imperial Garden; it's at most the time it takes to drink two cups of tea to walk there.

But His Majesty never walks by himself; he mainly sits in a palanquin and can still contemplate state affairs.

His Majesty's sudden decision to walk on his own surprised the palanquin bearers.

Was it because you couldn't lift it steadily?

They nervously put down the palanquin and watched His Majesty walk away with his entourage, leaving them to follow behind with the empty palanquin.

Murong Yue walked very slowly, feeling the new body.

In the morning, she tries to control herself and avoid walking with the same hand and foot on the same side. Now she feels that she walks better.

Happy~(o?▽?)o

The Imperial Garden was very quiet.

The palace of Qing Kingdom is different from that of other countries. The retired emperor has only one empress and only one child, His Majesty.

Your Majesty is still a woman and is not married.

Moreover, the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager have been traveling and enjoying themselves for years, leaving Murong Yue as the only mistress in the entire harem.

After Murong Yue ascended the throne, he released all the palace servants except for the necessary ones.

Therefore, the palace was very quiet.

She wouldn't encounter anyone else in the Imperial Garden; Murong Yue had the entire garden to herself.

This human base is so beautiful.

The world she used to live in was full of ruins, collapsed buildings, and destroyed cities.

It's been a long time since I've seen a single patch of green.

It's winter here, and there are no flowers to be seen, but there are some lush green plants that stretch out in patches in the night.

There was also a lake, the moonlight illuminating the frozen lake.

If it weren't frozen, Murong Yue would have jumped in for a bath.

“Your Majesty, over here, over here,” Ah Hao said quickly, grabbing the restless Murong Yue and leading her to a stone table.

Immediately, palace servants laid cushions on the stone benches.

Set out two hand warmers, a plate of melon seeds and peanuts, and a pot of hot tea.

Murong Yue sat down, holding a warm hand warmer in her hand, while Ahao stood beside her peeling peanuts.

Ah Hao peels one, and Murong Yue eats one.

Then drink half a cup of hot tea, and the corpse will feel comfortable inside and out.

Murong Yue happily swayed her body slightly from side to side.

Humans really know how to enjoy life.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go back and rest. You have to attend court tomorrow," Ah Hao said, worried that Murong Yue, who had just recovered from a serious illness, might catch a chill again.

We've come out for a stroll and have some food; it's time to head back.

ah?

Murong Yue's hand, which was eating peanuts, remained suspended in mid-air for several breaths before she reacted.

She asked Ah Hao with difficulty, "Are we going to watch someone get beaten up again tomorrow?"

Ah Hao had gradually come to understand Murong Yue's logic and meaning, and said with a smile, "Yes, Your Majesty, there will be court tomorrow."

"Every day...they attend court???"

"That's roughly it, Your Majesty."

"All in the morning?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Murong Yue felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked. She liked watching the excitement, and human fights were interesting, but she didn't need to watch them every day.

And it was in the morning.

Zombies are active at night and sleep during the day.

If I had to attend court for half a day every day, I'd rather be dead.

No, she was already dead.

...I'd rather starve to death.

"I'm not going!"

Murong Yue tossed out two words, grabbed the freshly peeled peanuts, and walked towards her Taihe Palace.

Ah Hao sighed and worried, "His Majesty doesn't want to attend court, what should we do?"

...

Meanwhile, news of Yang Yong, the prefect of Suizhou, being imprisoned had not yet reached Suizhou Prefecture.

Yang Yong's mansion was quite large and magnificent. Even in the dead of winter, the underground heating system was turned on right from the main gate.

You can feel the warmth even outside the courtyard wall.

During the day, soldiers guard the area, but at night, some homeless people will find an unguarded outer wall and secretly huddle at the base of the wall to keep warm.

"Bro, you're pressing down on me."

"Oh, I'm sorry, but it's warmer when we're all huddled together. If you don't mind, let's squeeze in a bit more."

"No, if you keep squeezing me like this, I won't be able to get out tomorrow."

"Rush out? What for?"

"Brother, are you new to Suizhou?"

"Yes, yes, how did you know?"

The homeless man, squeezed to the very back, tightened his thin clothes. "You're new here, you don't know."

"The prefect of Suizhou kept eight concubines and more than twenty dancers. He had over a thousand servants to attend to him. How much filth must there be every day?"

"Even their swill was better than what ordinary families ate."

"I ran fast the day before yesterday and snatched half a chicken and half a steamed bun from the swill bucket."

...

"Don't make that face. You'll see when you try to take it from me tomorrow morning, hehehe."

Inside the mansion, Yang Yong's several adult sons were sitting together discussing something.

“Once Father gets through this hurdle and brings down that Minister of Justice, with a little maneuvering, you can get into the Ministry of Justice, brother.”

"In a few years, the position of Minister of Justice will definitely belong to our Yang family."

Your son, who has just come of age, doesn't quite understand. "Then why doesn't Father go to the capital to become an official?"

"You don't understand. In Suizhou, your father is your god. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. How carefree is that?"

"Besides, who wants to attend court with a woman every day? Humph!"

They were unaware that the Yang family's empire was about to crumble.

Xu Qing had done his homework thoroughly before reporting Yang Yong. No sooner had His Majesty imprisoned Yang Yong than Xu Qing took control of all of Yang Yong's people in the capital.

He was no pushover as the Minister of Justice.

No news of Ren Yangyong could get out.
