Qin Mu's eyes blazed with fury, but he forced himself to suppress it. Only now did he understand why he had been unable to find Li Ji; it turned out that Wang Yushi had already silenced him.
That's right, it was to silence him. Emperor Zhaowu's large-scale selection of concubines was orchestrated by Li Ji. Qin Mu was certain that Li Ji knew many secrets of the palace, such as the truth of Emperor Zhaowu's favoritism towards Wang Yushi. However, Qin Mu had never seen this third-in-command in the palace since the night Emperor Zhaowu died.
On the contrary, Consort Liu and Consort Han, in that chaotic night, suddenly heard the screams of Chief Eunuch Li Ji. Then Wang Yushi ordered people to search the inner treasury under Li Ji's control. The two consorts were terrified after thinking about it carefully, so they immediately contacted Xiao Xinyan and asked to leave the palace for refuge.
"Your subject has something to say, but I'm unsure whether I should."
When Qin Mu saw Qin Mo jump out and pretend to bow to Wang Yushi, his eyes immediately started twitching uncontrollably.
Wang Yushi raised an eyebrow and gave Qin Mo a look that said, "What are you trying to do?" Seeing Qin Mo looking so submissive and loyal, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"speak!"
"Several days ago, I repeatedly requested that you, my lords and princes, select the Empress to temporarily oversee the country so that the Great Xia court could function normally. However, several high-ranking officials refused for various reasonable reasons. But today, the arrival of the Holy Temple envoy has forced me to bring up this matter again."
"Does Your Majesty know that the documents from the Six Ministries are piled up to the height of a person? They pass the buck over even the smallest matters, and no one dares to take responsibility for such a crucial matter as the Temple's aid! Therefore, I believe that before a new emperor is appointed, our Great Xia must have a respected person overseeing the country and managing the government. Otherwise, the people will be filled with anxiety, and chaos will surely break out in the country. I beg Your Majesty to make a decision!"
The desolate Fengning Palace was silent. No one would have thought that Qin Mo would bring this up here, and in front of Wang Yushi, she would ask her to serve as regent, and even imply that only if someone served as regent could the Holy Temple provide assistance and solve the problem. How could she be so shameless?
Wang Yushi felt a warmth in her heart as she sensed the encouraging look in Qin Mo's eyes, but her voice remained icy: "What do you gentlemen think of Prince Heng's proposal?"
Silence fell over Fengning Palace once again. Qin Mu's side had been cornered by Qin Mo. If they didn't agree today, then the matter of "regency" should never be mentioned again.
You won't let me oversee the country, do you think I'll let you have your way? Dream on!
