After Mu Feng had been talking non-stop for an hour, Long Xun's eyes started to glaze over, and he could only mechanically nod to indicate that "you're right." Only then did he finally stop being tortured by Mu Feng's chatter.
After calming down and getting his mind back to normal, Long Xun immediately wanted to go back to his bedchamber to keep Yin Er company, but Mu Feng stopped him.
"Ah Xun...did you not hear what I just said?" Mu Feng said helplessly, "Yin Er is fast asleep now. Why don't you take this opportunity to finish your work? Are you going to wait until he wakes up?"
Long Xun was reminded by him and belatedly realized—that's right! He's still the emperor, he needs to have plenty of time to spend with his lover, and someone should take over the state affairs, right? And the coronation ceremony for the empress should start being arranged now.
We can't let Yin Er's belly get so big that she can't fit into her wedding dress.
Long Xun understood and said earnestly to Mu Feng, "Amu, if it weren't for you, I would have lost my composure."
"I understand." Mu Feng patted his shoulder and said gently, "Go ahead, Yin Er won't wake up for a while."
Even though Mu Feng had hinted that Long Xun could handle his affairs slowly, Long Xun was still in a hurry and sent eunuchs and guards out of the palace in the middle of the night to dig the three dukes and three masters out of their beds, who were already asleep.
The menacing demeanor terrified the families of the six respected and devoted old ministers, who cried out for mercy and begged the emperor to spare their lives. Some even angrily cursed the tyrant. Even the six old ministers couldn't help but think sadly, "Has the emperor finally given up and started to slaughter loyal officials?"
Then, when the three dukes and three teachers stood in front of the Imperial Study, disheveled and with messy hair, they were stunned by a simple and blunt remark from Long Xun.
"My beloved is pregnant, and I entrust the affairs of state to you. Also, the coronation ceremony for the empress must be held within seven days."
Regarding the matter of entrusting the administration of the court... the Three Dukes and Three Masters already have experience.
Back then, the emperor was still a young boy who hadn't even come of age yet. He left a letter and ran away from the palace, which lasted for a year. If it weren't for the Dongwu Kingdom, which is now history, attacking him, who knows where he would be wandering now.
Their focus is on the latter.
"Your Majesty...your beloved? Your consort?" Several senior ministers were utterly bewildered.
Long Xun's ruthless methods and his ability to see through people's hearts made no one dare to play any tricks in front of him. Those who dared to plant spies in the palace used their lives to show others just how astute their emperor truly was.
Aside from those within the palace and the Imperial Medical Academy, no one knew of Yin Er's existence. Long Xun didn't feel the need to explain anything to anyone else.
Although when facing Yin Er, Long Xun was still the same Dragon God who was just a little cold but had a gentle heart, when facing others, he was a tyrant who would kill without hesitation.
No, it wasn't just a disagreement; he was too lazy to even speak to anyone. Whenever Yin Er wasn't around, he exuded a violent and disgusted aura, and he didn't even bother to hide his deep impatience and suppressed murderous intent.
Therefore, even the three dukes and three masters, who were granted great power by Long Xun, dared not have the slightest bad intentions and diligently carried out Long Xun's orders.
However, they were now truly bewildered. They had never known that an emperor like Long Xun would have someone he called his lover! And that he would even be making her his empress?!
Who is she? Which noble family's young lady? Or perhaps a rare young man? How stunningly beautiful must she be to make a tyrant fall for her/him?
The three dukes and three teachers realized that Long Xun hadn't suddenly gone berserk and wanted to kill them, and their hearts calmed down a little. They finally had the courage to look up and glance at His Majesty.
Long Xun sat behind the imperial desk with a smile on his lips, but his dark golden vertical pupils were still filled with an incomparably terrifying ferocity, making him look like he was grinning maliciously.
I don't feel safe at all! QAQ
The three officials and three teachers, who had originally wanted to ask a few more questions, immediately lowered their heads and stood there respectfully, even more obedient than elementary school students being scolded by their homeroom teacher.
With the three dukes and three tutors refraining from uttering a word, the momentous event of the coronation ceremony was swiftly decided. Completely ignoring the old man's fragile heart, which was somewhat overwhelmed by his menacing smile, Long Xun hurried towards his bedchamber.
It was incredibly fast. Ever since learning that Yin Er was pregnant, Long Xun, whose IQ had been practically nonexistent, actually used the Tian Ce's great lightness skill to rush towards the palace. Those unlucky ones couldn't dodge in time and were covered in dust before they even knew what was happening. After Long Xun passed by, they were still frantically rubbing their eyes.
—Longxun's Jianwang 3 system is indeed a bit outdated. In the 90s, Tian Ce's great lightness skill flew low and easily kicked people's faces with sand in real life. It was too tanky and attracted too much aggro. It is truly worthy of the Iron Prison Law mental skill.
Inside the bedchamber, Mu Feng was singing.
Yes, he was singing.
The barrier set up by Mu Feng was effective against mortals, but it was completely ineffective against Yu Longxun. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Mu Feng, adorned with jewels, earnestly singing in her melodious and gentle voice that seemed to cleanse the soul, while walking around the large bed with wonderfully rhythmic steps.
With each step he took, a feather-like golden halo would fall from his body, drifting down lightly. His fully grown tail feathers would occasionally unfurl and flutter like a fan, and his magnificent seven-colored brocade robe would radiate countless soft rays of light, illuminating the entire palace as if it were a fairyland.
Long Xun slowed his pace and concealed his aura, carefully closing the palace door without any intention of disturbing Mu Feng, and stood silently in the corner.
May evil not invade, and may I live long. May my offspring be safe and healthy. May my family be harmonious and long-lasting. May this great fortune be granted by Heaven.
