Chapter 725 The Prime Minister Returns
Hu Xiner tried hard to persuade Nangong Yue to give up this idea.
Because she knew very well that if such an idea was actually implemented, it would have a great impact on the history of future generations.
It’s hard enough for students on Blue Star to memorize ancient poems and essays every day. If there were a new branch of comics in history, wouldn’t they have to memorize comics too?
This is too scary.
However, Nangong Yue was very unhappy. She put her hands on her hips, with a hint of impatience in her tightly knitted brows, ready to refute at any time.
At this time, there was a noise at the door. It turned out that the prime minister came to visit.
The current Prime Minister Zhong has a long silver beard. Like the Immortal Emperor, he has a casual personality on the surface, but due to overwork and old age, his hair is full of white hair.
In a few years, he will have to resign and return home. This is why the emperor planned to train Lu Yunjue to be the prime minister.
At this moment, his expression was quite serious, because he heard everything that had just happened inside.
Nangong Yue saw that he had come, so she coughed lightly and became noble and cold in a second: "I wonder what brings you here, Prime Minister?"
The censors in the court were making a lot of noise. If the prime minister supported her, he should have strongly stopped this matter and suppressed all the noisy voices.
However, those memorials arrived in front of her unhindered, and the Shadow Guards also said that Prime Minister Zhong had no intention of speaking for her.
Therefore, Nangong Yue had already put him in the enemy camp.
Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Zhong lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
"I, your old minister, was foolish!" he trembled, "I was so foolish as to fail to see the deposed Crown Prince's wicked ambitions!"
Nangong Yue was stunned: "Why is the Prime Minister like this?"
Prime Minister Zhong raised his head, tears streaming down his face.
The Duke was more familiar with the affairs of the court and said, "Did your former favorite student... die of a heart attack?"
"The late emperor trusted this old minister so much, but Old Chen failed to uncover the biggest curse in the court. I am truly ashamed of the late emperor and the court!" When Prime Minister Zhong said this, he burst into tears.
The late emperor could trust even the crown prince, who could threaten his position, let alone the ministers in the court? The prime minister and the duke, one civil and one military, were his most trusted people, and he had always selflessly delegated his power to them.
But precisely because of this, Prime Minister Zhong had a close relationship with the Crown Prince in the past, and the civil officials were rather pedantic, so when it was announced that the eldest princess might succeed to the throne, he did not react immediately.
It was not until he heard about the prince's past actions outside the palace, combined with the clues he had not noticed before, that he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and realized that he was the stupidest person in the world.
No one could have imagined that Prime Minister Zhong, who was supposed to be the most difficult to deal with, would completely switch sides to Nangong Yue's camp because of their discussion.
In this way, Prime Minister Zhong is in charge of state affairs, Duke Xuanyuan is in charge of leading troops to fight, and he even has connections in the martial arts world.
Nangong Yue can be said to have a sure win!
She pretended to be calm and discussed state affairs with the two important ministers, and by the way, she tried to win over Prime Minister Zhong again.
After everyone left, she excitedly hugged Hu Xin'er and said, "I'm one step closer to my empire!"
Hu Xin'er held her forehead and changed the subject: "You said before that the princes stationed in various places all requested to return to the capital to attend the funeral? Who are they?"
"It's natural you haven't heard of it." Nangong Yue said nonchalantly, "This request to attend the funeral is probably the most powerful one they've ever made in the court."
Mu Qing explained, "The seven princes were given the titles of Zhao, Han, Qi, Lu, Zhou, Yan, and Yu. In the past, they were unable to defeat the crown prince, so they kept a low profile. This became even more so after they were granted fiefdoms."
Nangong Yue snorted softly, "But after the Crown Prince was deposed, they've been restless. They've been submitting memorials to the Emperor every few days. Even their mothers and consorts have been asking to see the Emperor, as if they're afraid others won't see their evil ambitions."
Hu Xin'er asked curiously, "If that's the case, how can anyone in the capital still be interested in reading comics? Shouldn't they be caught up in the vortex of the seven princes' struggle for the throne?"
"Do you think all the fights are revealed in the open?" Nangong Yue sighed softly, a hint of wisdom in her eyes, and at the same time, she stretched out her fingertips and tapped Hu Xiner's forehead.
She said seriously, "Hu Xin'er, the world outside is very dangerous. I've been protecting you since you entered the capital, so you don't have to go through the ups and downs of the battle for the throne. You just need to count money here."
Now that she was no longer acting up, Hu Xin'er felt a little strange.
It seemed that during this period of separation, not only she was growing, but everyone was moving forward.
But the next second, Nangong Yue sighed and hugged her in his arms: "So just hide in the palace obediently. I don't care about your husband and son. As long as you are my only queen..." that's enough.
Anyway, she has already learned the truth about Erdong's journey to another world.
Since her beloved has disappeared, she has no interest in love affairs. It would be better for her to stay with her little sister and raise her baby at the same time.
A hundred years later, she will train the little dumpling to become the emperor, and she and Hu Xiner will travel hand in hand among the mountains and rivers, reading comics and discussing the plots every day. Isn't it wonderful?
Her rambling stopped mid-sentence.
Because Mu Qing was looking at her murderously, and his clenched fists showed signs of hitting someone.
Due to the disparity in their fighting power, Nangong Yue had no choice but to return the person in her arms to Mu Qing with tears in her eyes: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult for the moon to be full, and it has been difficult for people to be perfect. There is a kind of love called letting go. Let's continue discussing the topic of the fight for the throne."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Qing had already walked away with Hu Xiner. His face was as gloomy as water, and he secretly vowed to take his wife away from this strange woman.
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, the couple remained silent for a long time.
Mu Qing stroked his wife's wrist and said in a gentle tone, "Xin'er, don't let Nangong Yue touch your sketchbook anymore."
I remember that before the Mu Xin Comics Shop came into being, Nangong Yue was considered a cold and aloof princess.
"There's no such thing as chuunibyou in this world. It just happened because more people read comics." Hu Xin'er lowered her head in shame. "I really didn't expect them to get so carried away."
Who would have nothing to do after eating and recite comic book quotes every day?
Mu Qing rubbed her head and said in a gentler voice, "Let's find a good day to move out of the palace."
"Eh?" Hu Xin'er was delighted at first, then hesitated, "Wouldn't that be a bad idea? After all, the palace can protect little Tuanzi, and Yue'er might need our help often. Shouldn't we leave her?"
Although she also wanted to go out with her husband, how could her best friends run away when disaster struck?!
