The day of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

The emperor was late again during the morning court session.

A number of court officials were resentful but did not dare to speak out.

"Your Majesty, there is good news from the border. Our army has captured a city in Tianqian."

"Your Majesty, Emperor Tianqian has sent someone to ask for peace."

"emperor……"

The court officials had been making reports for a long time, while the man in the dragon robe sitting on the dragon throne was dozing off with his head supported by one hand, until the regent king's voice came: "Your Majesty, the Western Regions are preparing to offer another batch of beauties as tribute."

The emperor was immediately startled: "What? Beauty? Where is she?"

The Regent sneered, "Did the Emperor stay in Yang Zhaoyi's palace or Concubine Zheng's palace last night? Why does he seem to have been drained of his vitality today?"

The emperor chuckled and said, "I summoned both of them to my bedroom to have some fun..."

Before he could finish his words, the Regent King stopped him and said, "Ridiculous!"

The emperor was a little afraid of him, and seeing his cold face, he dared not say anything more for a while.

All the courtiers knelt down, most of them were helpless. A tyrant in power actually openly spoke dirty words in the court, which was a disgrace to the royal family and even a disgrace to the country.

The Regent said, "Your Majesty did not rest well last night, so please leave the court early. I will report to you personally on all the important military and political matters after I have sorted them out."

The emperor waved his hands and said, "No need to report to me again, you can handle it yourself. I believe in your ability."

The regent king said, "No, as a minister, is it not reasonable for me to bypass the monarch and handle state affairs on my own?"

"Well, it's up to you, my dear." After the emperor said this, he yawned lazily.

The chief eunuch on the other side saw this and shouted at the top of his voice: "If you have something to say, come forward and report it. If not, leave the court!"

As soon as they left Taihe Gate, the court officials began to talk about the matter, and as usual, they kept saying things like "it's not decent" and "the country is in danger".

The people are complaining about the tyranny of the emperor, so why shouldn't the officials also complain? Nowadays, even attending court is considered unlucky. If it weren't for the regent king controlling the government, the country would have been in chaos long ago.

The court seems to be in turmoil, so who cares how big the turmoil is inside?

So, that night, Liang Qingchen led his troops to attack the palace very smoothly, without any court officials or soldiers blocking them along the way. However, he did not expect that the emperor was not as useless as he seemed.

Although the emperor was not good at handling government affairs, he was an expert at running institutions. He had already set up numerous institutions in his own bedroom, and Liang Qingchen fell into his trap without being careful.

The fresh wounds on his body were all caused by the assassination during the abdication. The deep wound on his shoulder, where the bone could be seen, was caused by the emperor sneaking up on him from behind.

It was only thanks to this attack from behind that Liang Qingchen had the opportunity to kill the little emperor with one sword.

That night, the throne of Xuancang Kingdom changed hands.

At first, there was some opposition from the court officials, until he revealed his true identity, and then everyone knew that he was the orphan of the Xia family and the legitimate Prince Xuancang.

The Xia family had been in power in Xuancang Kingdom for a hundred years, until a mutiny in the imperial capital eighteen years ago, when the Wanqi family usurped the throne. Now, after many twists and turns, the country has returned to the hands of the Xia family.

From then on, Liang Qingchen could restore his original identity and live in the sun.

…

Jiang Muyu still felt a little dazed after hearing what he said: "Are all the people in the Wanqi family... dead?"

"When they exterminated my Xia family, they implicated nine generations of my clan, from 80-year-old women to infants, and not a single one survived..."

Jiang Muyu's heart was in her throat, and she subconsciously held his hand tightly.

He pursed his lips, patted the back of her hand soothingly, and said, "Don't worry, I can't be as inhumane as them. The emperor is young and has no children. In addition to several sons of Wanqi Youhui who were strangled, the rest of his relatives were demoted to commoners, the harem was dismissed, and the emperor's confidants were also investigated and punished one by one."

Hearing this, Jiang Muyu breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Liang Qingchen was completely blinded by hatred and would kill all the Wanqi clan members. Wouldn't that be like bringing the suffering he had experienced upon others? If so, what was the difference between him and those cold-blooded and cruel people in the Wanqi clan?

Fortunately, those wasted experiences did not completely wipe out the kindness in his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Muyu felt fortunate.

She gently stroked Liang Qingchen's face with her cool fingers and smiled faintly: "Thank you."

He blinked, puzzled: "Thank you for what?"

She didn't answer, but leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips, saying, "Go to bed early, you still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

He did not pursue the matter further. He used his uninjured arm to carry her to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and said, "You should also go to bed early."

"Um."

Jiang Muyu couldn't sleep at first when she smelled the strong smell of medicine on him, but after slowly getting used to it, she gradually felt sleepy.

A dreamless night.

The next day, when Jiang Muyu woke up in the morning, she felt some warmth on her body, and she could roughly guess that he had just left.

"Yunyan, Yunyan?"

She called out several times but no one answered, so she had to get out of bed and change her clothes.

Just as she was about to go out after putting on her clothes, Yun Yan pushed the door open and walked in with a smile on her face: "Madam, the master said that a very important guest will come to the mansion today, and asked you to entertain him well."

"Ask me to entertain?" Jiang Muyu raised his eyebrows.

She had been the princess of Tiangan for two years, and she had never heard Liang Qingchen specifically instruct her to treat anyone well.

"It seems that this guest is really very important."

The only thing she could think of at this moment was the Regent.

But in the final analysis, she is the master and the Regent is the minister. No matter how important he is, he shouldn't ask his future master to entertain him, right?

Jiang Muyu couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

I thought to myself, "There must be a reason for Ah Chen's instructions."

She decided to cook a table of dishes herself.

There was a cook in this house, and everyone was shocked when they saw her walk into the kitchen.

They all knew that the person in front of them would become the noble empress in the near future, so they all knelt down to pay their respects. When they learned that she would cook for them herself, they all turned pale with fear.

"Madam, you can't do that, madam."

Now that Liang Qingchen has not officially ascended the throne, they still call her Madam.

"Madam, you should not set foot in such a dirty place as the kitchen. If you want to eat anything, just tell me and I will cook it for you."

Jiang Muyu frowned, too lazy to say anything, and just glanced at Yunyan.

Yun Yan stepped forward and said, "There will be an important guest coming to the mansion today. Madam wants to show off her cooking skills and cook a few dishes herself. You should stay and help. This is also what the master wants."

The master had instructed that the lady could do whatever she wanted in the mansion. For a moment, they did not dare to persuade her anymore.

So Jiang Muyu started to get busy in the kitchen, and a group of chefs helped her and took turns watching her, fearing that she would hurt her hands while cutting vegetables or get burned by oil while cooking.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and everyone knew that she really could cook.

After Jiang Muyu washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen safely, everyone finally settled down.

Just after noon, the gatekeeper came to report that a guest had arrived.

Since he was an important guest, Jiang Muyu planned to go out and greet him in person.

When she walked out of the house and saw a man of three years old standing at the door, her eyes widened suddenly and her feet seemed to have taken root and she stood still.
