"Although it is said that water that is too clear will have no fish, this is too dark. It's not just muddy water, it's filthy and poisonous water. It must be cleaned up severely!" Mu Run sat in the carriage, enduring the bumps and jolting as the carriage traveled on the potholed road, feeling indignant.
Fu Yunchen asked, "How do you intend to govern this?"
Mu Run looked at him. "Of course, we should punish them severely according to the law... Wait, you didn't just establish a state and then not have any laws, did you?"
"They're still using the same system from the Northern Jin Dynasty; I'm too lazy to change it."
“You can’t do it this way.” Mu Run frowned. “Those in positions of power must fulfill their responsibilities.”
"Tell me about it." Fu Yunchen looked at her indignant expression and a playful smile appeared on his thin lips.
"The population is large; there are now tens of millions of people in Chongyang Prefecture. In addition, the entire continent is moving towards your side. You can't manage just the people left over from the Northern Jin Dynasty. Besides, who knows if they are loyal to you? You have to cultivate your own people."
"That means selecting talented people."
“Yes, selecting talent. You should have experience in this. Weren’t you once the newly appointed third-ranked scholar? Just copy the method and hold the imperial examination in Chongyang Prefecture, selecting talent without being bound by convention.”
"Therefore, the prerequisite is still the existence of an imperial court."
“Then let’s build one.” Mu Run looked at him. “What, are you feeling wronged being an emperor?”
“…No,” Fu Yunchen replied, “I cannot be the emperor.”
"What do you mean I can't be emperor?" Mu Run looked at him.
"I have half the blood of the Witch King in my body, and the Witch Clan cannot rule the world. In the past thousands of years, whenever the Witch Clan has come to power, the world will inevitably be in chaos and people will suffer."
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Hehe, I really can't be bothered to be an emperor."
"Then you should just elect a wise and virtuous ruler to the throne." Mu Run suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Her naturally watery peach blossom eyes looked at Fu Yunchen with sparkling eyes, and she grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth: "I'm not from the Witch Clan, I'm just an ordinary person, or... hehe..."
Fu Yunchen patted her head, "I can't be the emperor's consort."
“I’m already married to you and I’m on your family’s genealogy. In fact, I’m your wife, and I’ll share a coffin with you when I die.”
"Won't you be indecisive?" Fu Yunchen asked.
Mu Run cupped his face in her hands, "On the contrary, I'm wondering if you will really only dote on me and not go looking for young and beautiful girls when I get old and fat."
"Hehe, you're old and fat, and I'll only get older." Fu Yunchen pulled her into his arms, inhaling her fragrance. "I want you."
Mu Run's face immediately turned red. Looking around, she saw that they were on a secluded path and there was no one around. She then crossed her legs and wrapped them around his waist. "Let me be the empress, and I'll have your children."
Fu Yunchen pulled her closer and kissed her lips. "Okay!"
After a night of passion, Mu Run chickened out...
"Um, can I take back what I said about becoming empress?"
"No." Fu Yunchen massaged her lower back.
"I just acted impulsively."
"What you say, you must do."
Mu Run snuggled closer to him, "I dare not."
"You dare." Fu Yunchen's hand slowly moved downwards...
Mu Run quickly grasped his hand, "No, it's really not possible."
"Your Majesty, you can't say no." Fu Yunchen carried her back into the carriage.
Upon reaching the prefectural capital, Mu Run felt limp and listless, not wanting to move an inch. This guy was a pervert at heart, and he loved role-playing games.
