With the powerful regent standing by her side, what could ordinary nobodys do? Of course, they would obey Her Majesty's orders.
Even if one feels it's inappropriate, under the weight of absolute power, everyone has no choice but to bow down.
Mu Zhuochen possessed absolute strength and control; when he knelt down, everyone else followed suit.
…
As for the prime minister who led the opposition, he was imprisoned in a death row in less than a day on charges of embezzlement, bribery, and treason. He would never be released except on the day he was beheaded.
Others were also stunned by this action and dared not voice any opposition, even if they were dissatisfied, they could only suppress it.
Mu Zhuochen was very satisfied with everyone's current reaction. Of course, it would be even better if those who were an eyesore didn't ask him to hold a selection of concubines for the empress.
Everyone else thinks the royal family is declining, and the empress should find more men to get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to a little prince.
When the Grand Tutor suggested that Wan Ge choose more husbands, he glanced at Mu Zhuochen silently and said softly, "What does Your Highness think?"
Mu Zhuochen glanced at the Grand Tutor with a faint smile, and then said, "Your Majesty is indeed getting on in years, and it's time for someone to take over as Empress. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks of this humble subject?"
In fact, Mu Zhuochen didn't have much contact with Wan Ge. He was young, exceptionally good-looking, and held great power, making him the best candidate.
Wan Ge seemed to have been thinking seriously for a long time before finally speaking slowly: "The Regent's talent is worthy of being the Phoenix King, so I will draft an imperial edict to have him enter the Eastern Palace soon."
Everyone else was all smiles on the outside, but secretly they were all crying and congratulating the two of them. Who knows how these two ended up together?
Why do I keep feeling like Your Majesty is being threatened? But if someone can threaten you into becoming emperor, put you first in everything, obey your every word, and never betray you, how can such a life not be a kind of enjoyment?
…
After the court session, Mu Zhuochen stayed by Wan Ge's side. Wan Ge teased with a smile, "Doesn't Imperial Uncle need to go home and prepare for the wedding?"
"There's nothing to prepare. I've already prepared everything. All I'm missing is an empress."
? ? ?
"When did you prepare this, Imperial Uncle? How could I have known nothing about it?"
Mu Zhuochen patted his head and slowly answered, "It was prepared before the expedition."
It was when he developed feelings for her that he wasn't as open-minded as he is now, and he didn't dare to admit it to the person he liked.
At that time, I was thinking: I'll give it as a wedding gift when he gets married in the future, that would be nice.
But unexpectedly, it would become a betrothal gift, and the person chosen was Mu Zhuochen's favorite, not His Majesty the Emperor, but His Majesty the Empress.
"You've prepared this so early, aren't you worried about what will happen if we don't achieve our goal?"
Mu Zhuochen held the person in his arms: "I will never lose."
He knew very well that he absolutely could not and would not lose.
"Okay, okay, I know." Wan Ge kissed his cheek, finding it quite amusing to feel his instant stiffness.
"Let's go." Wan Ge held Mu Zhuochen's hand tightly, but they didn't leave for her own palace.
"Where are we going?" Mu Zhuochen wasn't worried that the other party would harm him; he was just very curious about where he was going.
