They didn't even get to see His Majesty's face, but that's fine. They've heard that His Majesty is a ruthless killer, looks fierce and menacing, and holds the power of life and death, leaving them no chance to resist.
They were originally pawns sent to the palace, and now that they're out, they'll just be used as pawns for other people. Maybe they'll be sent to the homes of people with better temperaments, instead of being in a den of dragons and tigers.
Those who weren't selected had mixed feelings; on one hand, they were glad they weren't chosen, but on the other hand, they worried about being punished when they returned.
…
In the court, half of the ministers also felt that this matter was inappropriate. It was actually reasonable for Wan Ge to be chosen as empress, given her status. After all, the prime minister was the head of all officials, and his daughter was not a concubine's daughter. Although she did not grow up in the prime minister's mansion, she was still a legitimate legitimate daughter.
But now that the selection process has begun, and His Majesty hasn't even seen the other candidates yet, isn't it inappropriate to hastily decide to let everyone else leave?
Qin Yizhou sat on the dragon throne, his eyes slightly narrowed, coldly looking down at them. After their endless argument, he simply said, "Do any of you ministers have objections to my decision?"
The entire court fell silent instantly at those words. Feeling the pressure from the person in charge, no one dared to say anything more.
Qin Yizhou smiled, seemingly finally satisfied: "Very good. Since everyone has no objections, let's decide on this. The Ministry of Rites should make preparations as soon as possible."
"Yes," the Minister of Rites replied immediately.
Qin Yizhou then looked at the Prime Minister standing to the side and said, "Prime Minister, you have rendered meritorious service by sending the Empress to my side. I have already arranged your reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Prime Minister hurriedly bowed, but his heart tightened with anxiety. No, he had to cover up the fact that Wan Ge had been sent to the estate when he got back.
Although we don't know what His Majesty is really thinking, on the surface, he still seems to dote on her.
Although it is unknown how long the emperor's affection will last, if His Majesty knew that they had sent their daughter to the estate to suffer, who knows how he would punish them.
Fortunately, they didn't initially announce that the child had been sent to the estate, but instead claimed that he was going to his maternal grandparents' house to recuperate. Only family members knew about the severing of ties, and as long as they kept quiet, there wouldn't be any problems.
After Qin Yizhou nodded, he got up and left. Xie Quan quickly dismissed the court session and followed Qin Yizhou.
…
Qin Yizhou arrived at the palace where Wan Ge was temporarily residing, but only stood at the entrance without going in.
When I arrived at the gate, I saw her practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. Her graceful movements, like a startled swan or a swimming dragon, were exactly how she was described.
Xie Quan originally wanted to praise the Wan Ge sword for being quite beautiful, but before he could speak, he saw Wan Ge thrust the sword into the artificial mountain, and the artificial mountain instantly shattered into pieces.
Xie Quan subconsciously took a step back. This... this is amazing. Looking at the swordsmanship, which was more beautiful than dancing, he had thought it was just fancy footwork, but he never expected it to be so powerful.
Qin Yizhou smiled slightly; she was getting better and better at surprising him.
He went inside, clapping as he went: "The Empress's swordsmanship is indeed superb."
Wan Ge glanced at the other party indifferently. As a sword cultivator, her swordsmanship was naturally superb, and with her senior brother's guidance, it was both beautiful and powerful.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
Qin Yizhou looked at her and asked in return, "Can't I come?"
