Of course, besides this, she also wanted Mu Zhuochen to come to the palace every day to teach the emperor, so she could see Mu Zhuochen every day. Otherwise, who would want to stay in this dilapidated palace?
At this moment, Consort Nan was completely unaware that Mu Zhuochen's expression was already extremely bad. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Guards, Consort Nan has been disrespectful to His Majesty. Strip her of her Consort robes and imprison her in the Cold Palace."
Nanfei was shocked upon hearing this, staring at him with wide eyes: "Brother Zhuochen, my father is the Prime Minister, how can you treat me like this?"
Mu Zhuochen turned to look at her: "What? Does Consort Nan mean that the Prime Minister is also disrespectful to His Majesty? And wants to punish his entire family?"
Upon hearing this, Consort Nan turned pale and hurriedly shook her head: "No, no! It was I who was audacious and disrespectful to Your Majesty. I am willing to accept the punishment."
She said that, but her hands were clenched tightly, still unable to believe that Mu Zhuochen would treat her like this.
…
When Mu Zhuochen turned around, he saw Wan Ge standing not far away, with a faint smile in her eyes, presumably having seen everything that had just happened.
Mu Zhuochen coughed softly, and Nanfei also noticed that Wan Ge was there. At the same time, she wondered if Mu Zhuochen was doing this to confuse Wan Ge.
But when she actually entered the Cold Palace, where she had nothing and was bullied by the palace maids, Consort Nan seemed to realize that Mu Zhuochen was serious.
She didn't understand. Wasn't Mu Zhuochen determined to become emperor? If her family had helped him, the path would be smoother.
But why was he imprisoned in the cold palace by the young emperor, and why was that?
Could it be… that Mu Zhuochen never thought about it? No! Impossible! If he didn't want to, then why…
Nanfei suddenly thought of a possibility: Mu Zhuochen liked power and wanted to be above everyone else, but he didn't want to sit in that position. Instead, he wanted to be the sword hanging over everyone's heads and enjoy that kind of pleasure and feeling.
Therefore, he didn't care about the emperor's position at all; he only enjoyed the feeling of having great power and wanted to see the emperor act subserviently in front of him.
After thinking it through, Nanfei was shocked. If that was the case, then Mu Zhuochen would really trap her here. No! She had to contact her father; she couldn't stay trapped here.
…
Just as Mu Zhuochen was about to walk to Wan Ge's side, someone whispered a few words in his ear.
When Mu Zhuochen finally stood in front of her, he simply reached out and touched her head: "It's getting late today, so I'll return to the palace first. I'll come back tomorrow to accompany Your Majesty in reviewing the memorials."
Wan Ge replied, "Alright, Your Majesty, come early tomorrow. I have prepared a surprise for you."
Wan Ge suddenly felt that instead of just saying it outright, she might as well surprise him by dressing up in women's clothing. Although she wasn't sure whether it would be a shock or a surprise, Wan Ge had already decided to do it.
"Okay." Mu Zhuochen wanted to lower his head and kiss her, but he restrained himself in the end and turned to leave.
…
Mu Zhuochen sat in the carriage, propping his head up with one hand, and snorted coldly: "Yun Kingdom is really not giving up its evil intentions. Now that it has been defeated, it wants to stuff people into the harem."
Mu Zhuochen thought of the newly appointed concubines of Wan Ge again. Even though he knew Wan Ge wouldn't touch them, Mu Zhuochen still felt very uncomfortable.
He twitched his fingertips slightly, then slowly said, "Find some reasons to get those people in the harem out of the palace or into the cold palace."
"Yes. What about Consort Yang?" As His Majesty's most favored and cherished concubine at this moment, how should Yang Yuan be dealt with?
"She...doesn't need to move for now, her confinement can be lifted, and those who are not of concern need not be taken seriously."
"Yes," the man in black replied and left.
…
As darkness fell, Consort Nan still hadn't been able to contact her father. Just as she was about to use her remaining money to bribe a palace maid, a figure landed in front of her.
Looking at Mu Zhuochen before her, Nanfei felt a surge of excitement: "Brother Zhuochen, I knew your feelings for me weren't unintentional. Hmm..."
"Who do you think you are, daring to look down on him like that?" Mu Zhuochen grabbed the other man's neck, his eyes filled with malice.
Nanfei was completely stunned and didn't even have time to react before the feeling of suffocation became more and more obvious, at which point she remembered to resist.
"Brother Zhuochen...brother...you...you can't kill me, have you forgotten? We...we grew up together, childhood sweethearts. You can't do this..."
Mu Zhuochen snorted coldly: "There is nothing in this world that I cannot do."
"Why...why..." Nanfei still couldn't understand. He wanted a puppet emperor, and he was willing to replace him. Did he really have to kill Chu Wange for her sake? Even if it meant offending the Prime Minister's Mansion?
"I have said that as long as I live, I will never allow anyone to humiliate him. Who do you think you are? You dare to humiliate him?"
Mu Zhuochen tightened his grip, leaving the other person with a final remark before he suffocated: "Do you really think I don't know what your Nan family is up to? You dared to commit the crime of exterminating nine generations of your family, so you shouldn't be afraid of death. Don't worry, your family will soon join you."
When Mu Zhuochen released his grip, Consort Nan was already lifeless. Mu Zhuochen simply said, "Clean it up. Don't let His Majesty know."
"Yes, what about the Prime Minister..."
"I'm afraid he won't make a move." A man who embezzles, accepts bribes, enriches himself, and even plots rebellion. How many families has he ruined? And now he wants to harm the emperor. Even exterminating nine generations of his family wouldn't be enough to make him pay for his crimes.
