Chapter 1340 The Emperor is Pregnant (55)
Qingwan's arrival signifies that the Empress has agreed to the Empress's visit.
While thinking this way.
A large chair made of rosewood came into view.
It was placed next to Situ Xiu.
He sat down in the chair.
The voice, tinged with laughter, slowly...
"Since when have you all abandoned these rules of etiquette and manners?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone realized what he meant.
Kneeling and bowing
"Greetings to my husband, Queen."
The sound echoed throughout the entire Qiankun Palace.
Situ Xiu sat there without mentioning that they should get up.
They were made to kneel for a long time.
Then, he said
"As soon as I entered, I heard everyone's condemnation of me."
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed.
"However, the Empress only wants to dote on me. She lingers with me every day and refuses to leave."
He was thinking of an empress who was still sleeping in bed.
The smile deepened.
The Prime Minister has never liked Situ Xiu.
I used to think he was a dictator.
Now people feel that he is interfering with politics.
He actually said such a shameless thing.
The Prime Minister was so angry that his face turned pale.
"Outrageous! You have disrupted the order of the court! Do you know your crime?!"
Situ Xiu, looking rather lazy, glanced at the Prime Minister.
"I don't know."
"you!!"
The prime minister was so angry that his chest heaved.
Now that the Prime Minister is old, those watching are afraid that he might not be able to breathe properly and die of anger.
Situ Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at everyone.
Opening
"I'm here to say a few things."
"First, the Emperor is pregnant."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent again.
The expressions on everyone's faces were no longer those of shared hatred; the initial chaos had turned into surprise.
Even the prime minister's anger subsided immediately.
His eyes were brimming with tears.
"Our Heavenly Holy Kingdom has an heir!!"
Before everyone could finish their reflections...
Then Situ Xiu said again
"His Majesty is pregnant, but he is feeling weak and experiencing frequent morning sickness. The imperial physicians advise him to rest well."
From now on, my attendance at court will depend on my mood.
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials' expressions varied.
But it seems there's nothing wrong with it.
After all, the Empress's pregnancy is a major event.
They still cherish the bloodline and incense of the future Heavenly Saint Kingdom.
Of course, it is of utmost importance.
Situ Xiu's voice was slow
"Secondly, Her Majesty the Empress has ordered that I be appointed to oversee the country."
As soon as he finished speaking, dissenting voices immediately arose.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"You are the Empress! How can a woman in the inner palace interfere in politics?!"
“There is absolutely no such rule in the ancestral rules.”
Situ Xiu held a memorial in his hand, tapping it repeatedly.
Speaking
"Third, Her Majesty the Empress wants me to do something."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who had been dissatisfied stopped.
They all looked up at Situ Xiu, waiting for him to continue.
Situ Xiu stopped playing with the memorial with a snap.
"The Duke of Ningguo is suspected of forming cliques and engaging in embezzlement and bribery."
After saying that, Situ Xiu did not continue.
Instead, he looked at Ning Guoxia, who had a smile on his face and a relaxed demeanor.
"Duke Ningguo, do you have any explanation to offer?"
Ning Guoxia knelt down on the ground
"Your Majesty, I am utterly loyal to the Empress and the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, and have never harbored any disloyalty."
"Oh? How can you guarantee that what you're saying is correct?"
"Every word I have said is true. May I be struck by lightning if I am lying!"
He has a very imposing presence, and at first glance, he seems like a good person.
Situ Xiu smiled.
He raised his hand and handed the booklet to Qingwan.
"Read it carefully to the Duke."
Qingwan nodded and reached out to take the booklet.
