The empress used the excuse of delivering food to her grandfather to stay, and refused to leave.
The Prime Minister feared that Bei Menlin would come out and be displeased to see her eagerly awaiting Bei Menmu's arrival.
He turned cold and ordered his men to forcibly remove the Empress.
The Empress refused, and the Prime Minister knelt on the steps for a whole day. When he lost his temper, he raised his hand and slapped her hard.
"Guards! The Empress has behaved improperly before the palace. Escort the Empress back to her palace."
The maids stepped forward to help the queen, who had fallen to the ground, to her feet.
The Empress wept bitterly, her heart filled with grief, knowing that her grandfather was determined to kill Beimen Mu.
Just as she was at her wit's end, the tightly closed bedroom door was opened from the inside.
Bei Menlin, dressed in armor, appeared before the crowd, and the Prime Minister hurriedly knelt down.
"Your Majesty..."
Bei Menlin unfolded the imperial edict, which was bright red in color, in his hand.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: General Beimen has rendered meritorious service in protecting the country and governing it effectively. His name is renowned in this era and his merit will last for generations. Now, in accordance with the will of Heaven, Beimen Lin is hereby appointed as the Regent of the current dynasty to assist the Emperor in governing the country."
The prime minister, who was kneeling halfway down, didn't know where to put his knees for a moment.
The Protector General, a prince from another family, and the emperor who was about to ascend the throne, became the regent who assisted the emperor?
What exactly happened in the past few hours?
The prime minister's forehead was covered in sweat.
The Empress tidied her appearance and, accompanied by her attendants, wanted to enter the palace to see Beimen Mu.
Bei Menlin tucked the damp imperial edict into his robes and stopped him.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is not in a position to see anyone right now. Please have the Imperial Physician come to see him. You may return."
The most powerful person in Su Feng right now is not Bei Men Mu, but the man in front of him who has a million-strong army.
Even though the Empress longed to see her husband, she dared not challenge Bei Menlin and could only leave helplessly.
Bei Menlin ordered all the ministers to leave the palace and instructed his men to summon the imperial physician.
Yi Mu lay on the bed, his face deathly pale, devoid of any color.
If it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest, she would look no different from someone who was dead.
Under Bei Menlin's watchful eye, the imperial physician conducted a full-body examination on Yi Mu.
He was an old imperial physician who had lived most of his life and had seen all sorts of situations.
The emperor was frail from childhood, suffered from asthma during seasonal changes, and was sensitive to all kinds of flowers, otherwise he would immediately break out in rashes.
He is even less likely to have sex with a woman, because he would faint halfway through due to exhaustion and would be unable to ejaculate.
If anyone exerts even the slightest force on the emperor, bruises will be left on his skin, which will take two or three days to fade.
Everyone in the palace knows that the Emperor is as fragile as glass, so they all serve him with utmost care.
The imperial physician looked at the young emperor's exposed skin, which was covered with patches of purplish-blue marks—on his neck, waist, and even his toes.
He knew perfectly well how those things were left behind, but dared not utter a word of condemnation.
You only have one head; if you lose it, you can't live.
The imperial physician prescribed medicine, intending to give it to the eunuch, but Beimen Lin took it instead.
Looking at the person on the bed with their eyes closed, Bei Menlin asked the imperial physician, "How long will it take for him to wake up?"
The imperial physician dared not give a casual reply, and said ambiguously, "It could take as little as one day, or as long as three to five days. During this time, we must take good care of His Majesty. He has a slight fever, and we must find a way to bring it down."
Since Beimen Lin was unable to stay by Beimen Mu's side, he reached an agreement with Beimen Mu to resolutely refuse to marry the Sixteenth Princess to the Yuezhi.
If the princess refuses to marry, then the only option is to win this battle.
Bei Menlin summoned the Sixteenth Princess and asked her to take good care of her brother.
He then led an army of 100,000 Xuanjia soldiers to the border to attack the Yuezhi army.
What exactly happened inside the emperor's bedroom was known only to a few people.
The sixteenth princess, knowing what her brother had sacrificed for her, burst into tears.
When his father was alive, he doted on his elder brother the most and couldn't bear to let him suffer any pain.
But her brother, in order to protect her, had to submit to that man; he must have been in excruciating pain.
