Emperor Yuanhui was unusually persistent on this matter, and no matter how the prime minister tried to persuade him, he would not budge.
The prime minister asked his granddaughter to try to persuade the emperor, which enraged the young emperor so much that he almost banished his empress to the cold palace.
The emperor was in poor health, suffering from a congenital illness. He would faint whenever he became angry or agitated.
He was determined to protect his younger sister, and the prime minister's repeated persuasion infuriated the emperor.
He wasn't smart, but he wasn't hopelessly stupid either.
He was a puppet, his every move was monitored, he married a woman he didn't like, and did things he didn't like.
He knew he couldn't escape certain people's clutches, and he didn't care. He could live a foolish life without consequence, but they shouldn't have set their sights on Sixteen Sister.
He would protect his only younger sister, even if it meant death.
Bei Menmu feigned illness and stayed in bed. He hid the imperial seal, and without the seal, the imperial edict was just a piece of waste paper.
This was the only way the young emperor could think of to protect his sister.
But he didn't know that the situation outside was getting more and more serious, and he couldn't afford to be a coward.
Emperor Yuanhui was in poor health and needed to drink nourishing soup every day.
He was perfectly healthy, but the longer he lay in bed, the worse his health became, for some reason.
He sleeps for seven or eight hours a day, and when he is awake, he is not in a clear mind.
Until one day, he discovered that he could no longer get out of the dragon bed.
Bei Menmu's personal maid, the headmaster aunt he had relied on since childhood, handed the imperial seal to the Prime Minister.
"Aunt is a wise woman. Once the new emperor is enthroned, you will definitely receive a lot of benefits."
The woman, who looked no more than thirty, showed no joy; she only wanted the Prime Minister to fulfill his previous promise.
"I hope that the Prime Minister will keep his promise and send me home."
The Prime Minister pressed the imperial seal heavily onto the yellow silk face and casually replied, "Of course."
The imperial edict was sent urgently to the Yuezhi Kingdom.
At the same time, inside the general's mansion, a brown-haired, blue-eyed man donned his jet-black armor, a smile playing on his handsome face.
After twenty years, he has finally waited for this day.
Twenty years ago, he had nowhere to go in the world; twenty years later, he will become the emperor of Sufeng.
In the near future, he will lead millions of soldiers of Sufeng to conquer all the small border states, including the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, and Rouran, and become the overlord of the world.
Those old guys probably never imagined, even on their deathbeds, that the skinny kid who was bullied so much back then would have such a good life.
With a "click," the antique shelf next to them opened, and a veiled woman stepped out.
Bei Menlin's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly as the woman's soft body pressed against him from behind.
The melodious sound, like jade falling onto a plate, drifted by, carrying a hint of melancholy.
"I was going crazy with worry in the palace, thinking, 'Why haven't you come to find me yet? We're almost there, aren't we?'"
As Bei Menlin listened to him talk about us, his blue eyes narrowed slightly, and his large hand enveloped the woman's soft hand, gently stroking it.
"Once I ascend the throne, I will make sure you are well taken care of."
The word "settle" was used subtly. The woman sensitively grasped his hand and tentatively asked, "You will marry me, right?"
She never felt safe with him, and always needed to confirm, "Is this right?"
It was originally just a question, but after hearing it for a while, it inevitably takes on a questioning tone.
Bei Menlin turned around, looking at her with a half-smile, "You want to be the empress?"
Ye Yunxiang's public identity is that of the daughter of a fifth-rank official, but her true identity is that of an orphan.
Regardless of her identity, she is not qualified to be the Queen Mother of Su Feng.
