The emperor is too tyrannical, 080 new emperor ascends the throne
Ye Wei only raised his eyes, and his gaze was lightly fixed on the woman in front of him. He had respected her since childhood, even though she had been cruel and ruthless to him, even poisonous. However, he still loved her deep down, hoping that one day he could make her feel a little bit of love for his mother. But, his delicate red lips curved slightly, "Mother, I just returned, feeling somewhat tired. If you have no other instructions, then I will take my leave first."
Her beautiful eyes shot out a ruthless cold light, she suddenly got up from the soft couch, walked slowly to his front, raised her hand, and "slapped" him with a loud slap on Night Demon Xing's cheek, leaving a bright red palm print on his pale face.
Ye Mei Xing stood still, her eyes still dimly lit, not like before, revealing fear or kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy, but instead holding her head high, staring straight at her, without fear or wailing, and surprisingly, not even a hint of pain, long ago when she was treating herself so ruthlessly, he had already thoroughly strangled her from the bottom of his heart.
"Mother, just this once." Ye Mei Xing smiled deeply, the red mark on his face even more vibrant, he slightly bowed, "Mother, I bid farewell."
"You're not the palace's Xi'er, who are you?" The beautiful woman stared at Ye Huan in terror, raising her hand to point at him, and that bright red nail polish was dazzling.
"Mother, the Ye Huanxin who listened to you and followed your plans has been killed by your own hands. The current Ye Huanxin is a cold-blooded and ruthless person."
"No... My Hui'er wouldn't treat me like this... No... You're not Hui'er, I'll kill you!" The woman shrieked loudly, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and a leather whip appeared in her hand, swinging straight at Ye Hui.
She dodged her slap, turned around and looked at her ferocious face with a cold smile. "Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince only used you. Do you really think he would make you Empress? You are just an insignificant concubine in this deep palace."
"No... you absolutely are not Xi'er... absolutely not." A body adorned with elegant and luxurious palace attire, a stunningly beautiful makeup, yet with a sinister and ruthless gaze like that of a snake or scorpion. When Ye Xuan revealed the truth, she became even more vicious, her slender hand waving, "Take down this fake Xi'er impersonator."
In an instant, six dark guards flew down and surrounded Ye Huanxi, all of them making a move towards him.
Her lips curved into a subtle smile, her charming eyes remained the same, but exuded coldness. The sleeves of her dress with large peony flowers fluttered lightly, her enchanting figure was like a blooming flower. She spun around and landed, then those six dark guards fell to the ground, spitting out blood.
His beautiful eyes slightly condensed, and then his palm sucked in the long whip in the hand of the beautiful woman in front of him. In the blink of an eye, the six dark guards in front of him fell to the ground, unable to move. The night demon's eyes shone with a cold light from hell. He was no longer the weak and timid fifth prince who had been reborn, but a phoenix rising from the ashes. He wanted to live for her, and he must take control of the Wuyue Kingdom.
Xiang Han and Chu Xia stood by, looking at the emperor in front of them, but what rose up in their hearts was heartache. They thought back to when Empress Dowager had brutally beaten the emperor, and they could only stand by helplessly. Now that the emperor had returned, they would definitely not let him suffer even a single bit of harm again.
The time for half-column fragrance has passed, the entire imperial concubine's bedroom is filled with a strong bloody smell, the whip has been swung, and the six dark guards have been beaten until they are covered in blood. Ye Xuan raises his eyes, coldly staring at the woman he loved for twenty years, "Imperial Concubine, it's getting late, I'll take my leave first." After speaking, the whip in his hand is lightly swung, thrown into the air, and with a wave of his palm, the whip explodes in mid-air, turning into powder.
He turned around and strode out of the palace, walking forward without looking back.
"No... this can't be." Zhenfei stared blankly at the six corpses in front of her, backing away repeatedly until she fell to the ground. "My Hui'er would never treat me like that."
Ye Mei walked slowly forward, until she returned to her own palace, raised her eyes and looked at the vast palace in front of her, raised her eyelids and looked at the crystal palace lanterns in front of her, she approached and gently stroked them, everything was so familiar, yet it was also a case of "things are not what they used to be".
He finally returned, lightly lifting his clothes and sitting down. Xiang Han and Chu Xia hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your servants have been waiting for your return, Your Highness."
Ye Mei Xing raised her eyes and looked at the moonlight outside the palace. "Where is Princess Yu Yue buried?"
"The princess was already...not a clean body, so she wasn't buried in the imperial mausoleum. Now the emperor is indulging in women every day and doesn't care about state affairs. The crown prince took charge of government according to law and found a quiet and secluded place for the princess to be buried." Xiang Han thought of this and said indignantly.
"How many people are left in the Ink Color Pavilion now?" Ye Mei Xing thought about the matter at that time, it was too chaotic, and now thinking about it, her heart still ached.
"Except for Da Zhanglao and Er Zhanglao, Nubi and Chu Xia, Zi Qing, Ju Mo, everyone else is dead." Xiang Han bowed his head and replied, unable to hold back tears.
"Let them take good care of it and rebuild the Ink Color Pavilion."
"Yes." Xiang Han and Chu Xia replied.
"I will tell you everything that happened in the palace during those days." Ye Yan said with a calm tone.
"Yes." Xiang Han hastily stepped forward and informed Ye Yanxi of all the major events that had occurred in the palace over the past year, no matter how big or small. After finishing, "Because the princess was not favored to begin with, therefore, when she went missing this year, nobody asked about it."
"No harm, the more so, the better to do things." The night demon's bright red lips curled up with a sly charm. Now, there were few who could rival him, he wanted to take it slow, but why was his heart now thinking of rushing into her arms?
It was not yet four watches into the night when Feng Ao Tian woke up. She turned her gaze and saw a pair of eyes shining brightly, staring at her.
She was taken aback for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to gently stroke the tender cheek, "Little guy, are you awake?"
"Ah, Uncle Wang, I thought I was still dreaming." Feng Yinni raised her somewhat weak arms and pulled on his clothes, "Uncle Wang, hug!"
Feng Ao Tian opened his arms and pulled him into his embrace. "You can stay at this king's place for the time being."
"Wang Shu, I vaguely saw Father Emperor last night," Feng Yuxi continued.
"Hmm, there's a man who looks exactly like your father. He showed up this morning at the early court session. You should go take a look." Feng Ao Tian lowered his gaze and looked at him.
"If it's fake, then I won't go," Feng Yuqi said with a shake of his head.
"Qí ér doesn't want to look, then he won't look." Feng Ao Tian smiled lightly and patted his back. At this moment, she decided that from now on, she would take good care of him, her only relative.
Feng Yu leaned against Feng Ao Tian's chest, "Wang Shu, are you going to attend the morning court?"
"Take care of yourself, Uncle Wang will be back after his morning court." Feng Ao Tian reached out and stroked his head, saying softly.
"Good." Feng Yu Qian nodded and then closed her eyes again, falling back asleep.
Feng Ao Tian turned around and saw Mu Han Jin's warm eyes flashing with a faint smile, "Your Highness, did you sleep well last night?"
"And you?" Feng Ao Tian reached out, hooked the green silk on his chest, stroked his skin outside, and asked softly.
"Good." Mu Hanjin's face turned slightly red as he nodded.
"Grandpa is also good." Feng Ao Tian felt that this was the most solid sleep she had ever had.
Mo Hanjin slowly got up, got out of bed, and closed the torn clothes. Feng Gonggong had already arranged for someone to prepare the washing utensils. He walked forward, washed his face, and then looked at her.
Feng Ao Tian also got out of bed and walked to his side. Mu Hanjin dipped the cotton pad in water, wrung it out, waited for her to wipe her face clean, then handed the cotton pad to her.
She smiled and took it over, the two walked to the dressing table, "I'll tie your hair for you, Your Highness?"
"Hmm." Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes and looked at him, "You will?"
"Mm." Mu Hanjin nodded, her jade-like fingers lifted up her ink-black hair and carefully placed it in her own hand, with a practiced motion, gentle movement, looking as warm and comfortable as the spring sunshine.
Feng Ao Tian waited patiently for him to finish, the jade crown dazzling, with a beautiful face. Her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, revealing a faint warmth. She raised her gaze and looked at him, "Not bad."
She got up, saw that he had already combed his hair, and the two of them were properly dressed. She took his hand, walked to the main hall, finished breakfast, stepped out of the bedroom, sat in the imperial sedan chair, and headed towards the imperial palace.
In the bedroom, Feng Yu Qian slightly opened her eyes, looked at the empty room, pulled up the brocade quilt on her body, felt warm and cozy, then closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
Inside the imperial carriage, Feng Ao Tian leaned against Mu Hanjin's bosom, casually flipping through the memorials in his hand. "In these days, apart from yesterday's matter, has anything else of importance occurred?"
"The imperial examination is approaching, but there aren't many people signing up." Mu Hanjin said immediately after.
"Who else has signed up?" Feng Ao Tian asked again, and she had expected this phenomenon.
"Besides the young masters from various officials' residences, there are also some students who were recruited from all over to make up the numbers, with mediocre talents." Mu Hanjin continued.
"Hmm, how many people are still in the manor now?" Feng Ao Tian asked immediately.
"I don't know." Mu Hanjin's warm eyes flashed with a faint soft light, and he smiled lightly.
"Don't you know?" Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow and hooked his chin, "If you don't know, then from today on, I'll calculate it myself."
"Prince Wang, if you like it, then just go."
Feng Ao Tian lowered his head and chuckled, looking at him with this expression, "Now on the court, how many people can be used?"
"There are 361 people working in the capital, and half of them are useful." Mu Hanjin said in a warm voice, "Among them, the right prime minister's disciples account for 50%, the left prime minister's disciples account for 30%, and the remaining 20% are those who have been promoted by the king in recent days."
Feng Ao Tian sank into thought for a moment, "Hmmm, now that fake Feng Ao Yun has appeared, no matter whether it's his movements or appearance, he is almost identical to my imperial brother. His emergence will win over about 80% of the people."
"It is indeed." Mu Hanjin replied, "Your Highness, today's morning court may stir up a great storm."
Feng Ao Tian looked at him and said, "I'm just afraid they won't stir up any waves."
"Your Highness has made up your mind." Mu Hanjin said in a gentle voice with a shallow smile, her jade-like face radiating warmth like the sun shining on snow.
Feng Ao Tian wrapped his arm around him, pulling him into his own embrace, and gently kissed his cheek. "Don't you know my abilities yet?"
"I don't know." Mu Hanjin slightly shook his head and said, then leaned forward slightly, lowering his head to gaze at her face. "Your Highness, what's your intention?"
Feng Ao Tian blinked his eyes, looking at the person in front of him, still with that elegant face, but somehow felt that he had lost his usual calmness and instead gained a few shades of gloom. She stretched out her hand and pushed him away, saying in a low voice, "Speak properly."
Mo Hanjin smiled softly and put away the memorial, "Your Highness, you didn't meet with Wei Zimo this time. It seems that he doesn't take your actions seriously."
Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, thinking that Xing Wu Yun was indeed unreliable. "Hmph, what's the big deal? As long as it's someone I've taken a liking to, even if it means burning everything to ashes, I'll make sure to get him."
"Your Highness, this is serious." Mu Hanjin looked at Feng Ao Tian, "Yesterday, I just received a telegram from Hui County that there was a riot there. Now, in the imperial court, no one can be spared."
"Leng Qianye went to Bian Guan yesterday, and by coincidence, your elder brother arrived at Bian Guan, gathering his troops. It's just the right time to go and suppress the uprising." Feng Ao Tian had calculated this early on, looking at Mu Hanjin, "It's just a riot, no big deal, we can flatten Hui County if needed."
Mu Hanjin looked at Feng Ao Tian, naturally knowing that she was not joking, but such words would only provoke public resentment. "Your Highness, this move is probably not advisable."
"Are you afraid of stirring up public anger?" Feng Ao Tian looked at Mu Han Jin, "Is the public anger I've stirred up not enough? I'm not afraid of one or two incidents. The people only want to live in peace and prosperity. Now, the imperial court cannot guarantee their basic needs, that's why they will rise up. Your elder brother knows his limits, no need for me to give orders, he also understands how to handle it."
Mu Hanjin still had some worries, "A single spark can start a prairie fire, if this riot is not suppressed in time, when the whole country rises up..."
"No matter how turbulent the country is, as long as the border is secure like a golden wall, I will have no worries. Even if the entire Feng Kingdom were to rise in rebellion at that time, there would be ways to resolve it. What's more, now is not yet the time for such drastic measures." Feng Ao Tian looked at Mu Han Jin, "Haven't you already dispersed the people of the 'Wind' clan during this period?"
"It is." Mu Hanjin nodded, but after all, manpower was limited, and the "Wind" clan's specialty was gathering information and observing the night sky.
Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes and looked at him, "Your skills have yet to be revealed, haven't they?"
Mo Hanjin furrowed his brow, indeed, but nowadays, in such a court, his abilities were truly unable to be displayed.
"The deployment of troops and the arrangement of the battle array will be left to your elder brother and Leng Qianye. As for the court, Lan Jun's abilities are well-known to me. After this imperial examination, I plan to replace these old ministers and let them enjoy their retirement. The Phoenix Emperor thought to himself that as long as they were loyal to the previous emperor in their hearts, rather than to her as the regent, even if she ascended to the throne in the future, she would still face their impeachment and resistance. It's better to take this opportunity to thoroughly replace them."
"But nowadays, there are very few people who can achieve this." Mu Hanjin began to ponder.
"It's just the beginning now, I know my current reputation." Feng Ao Tian looked at Mu Han Jin, "Aren't you still by my side?"
Mo Hanjin's gentle smile, lowered eyelids, gazing at her tightly grasping his hand, his heart overflowing with sweetness, unfortunately, the days he could spend by her side were not many.
Feng Ao Tian looked at Mu Han Jin, also feeling that he seemed to be hiding something from himself. Now, what he was worried about was a matter of several years later. It was good to prepare for the rainy day, but now, it was necessary to solve the urgent matters at hand.
As they chatted and laughed, they had already arrived at the imperial palace. She held his hand as they descended from the imperial carriage, but instead of walking in a single file, they entered the palace side by side with their fingers still intertwined.
Inside the Golden Hall, Feng Ao Tian sat on high platform, gazing sideways at the Dragon Throne which was empty, but on the other side of the throne sat a person who was none other than the fake Feng Ao Yun.
Feng Ao Tian gazed warmly at Feng Ao Yun before him, "Imperial brother, you just returned to the palace yesterday, yet today you're working so hard."
"The emperor's younger brother, I was thinking that the emperor is currently in poor health, and I couldn't bear the pleas of all the officials, so I came here." Feng Ao Yun said with a gentle smile.
Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, "Since it's like this, then let's begin."
"These days, I went to the two Huai regions to investigate a case of official salt being robbed. If I hadn't investigated, I wouldn't have known, but after investigating, it gave me a huge surprise." Feng Ao Tian saw Xing Yan and Lan Feng's rare consistent gaze, just as they were about to report in unison, she preempted them by speaking first.
"This journey of Blue Envoy was indeed fraught with danger. On the way to Lianghuai, he encountered pursuit and killing, and later on, while investigating in secret, he was shot by an arrow and almost lost his life. Fortunately, there were no major consequences. Now, the case of Lianghuai has been clarified." Feng Ao Tian said, throwing out the paper slip in his hand, "Left Minister, Right Minister, the two of you may take a look at this list. The officials on it are all accomplices to the salt smuggling case in Lianghuai."
Lan Feng and Xing Yan were visibly stunned, Lan Feng only knew that his son had investigated the case of official salt in Lianghuai, achieved great merit, but did not know that he was being pursued and killed. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He hastily bent down, picked up the folded paper, and when he saw the list inside, his eyes sank again. These were all his proud disciples, who had never expected that they would be so bold and unscrupulous.
"Whether you collude internally or externally, I don't know. You actually took the people's silver to raise and nurture soldiers and horses. Among them, most are your disciples. This matter, you two cannot escape responsibility. Is it that these soldiers and horses were raised by you two?" Feng Ao Tian's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he sternly shouted.
Xing Yan looked at the list in front of him and was shocked to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat. Although he had not directly participated in this matter, he was also implicated. Now, he was so frightened that he hastily knelt down, "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with me."
Lan Xing also knelt on the ground, "This matter has nothing to do with me either."
Feng Ao Tian swept his gaze over the expressions of the officials below, then sternly shouted, "Irrelevant? Who promoted these officials? I merely went to the two Huai regions and uncovered such shocking matters. What if I were to go to other places? You two are three-dynasty elders, with high positions and great power. It's hard to guarantee that you won't collude internally and externally, harboring evil intentions."
"Even if I had the courage of a giant, I would never dare to commit such an act of great disloyalty and immorality." Lan Feng exclaimed excitedly.
Xing Yan was even more frightened, last night he was still excitedly thinking about today's request to the former emperor to re-ascend the throne and regain power, but now, this matter has been investigated.
"At the time of the Two Huai, Xing Wu Yun assisted this king in handling the case and made great contributions. This king is now specially promoting him to be the leader of the Imperial Guard, do any of you have any opinions?" Feng Ao Tian said in a deep voice.
All the officials listened and hurriedly knelt down. Now, listening to the Regent's tone, it was also an ominous sign of great disaster. If at this moment, they mentioned the late Emperor, there was no doubt that they would be seeking death. Therefore, they hastily responded, "Your Highness is wise!"
Xing Yan was stunned again, thinking about when that little brat went to the two Huai, and it seemed that he had really caught the eye of the regent king. Suddenly, his blood rushed to his heart, and he fainted on the spot.
Feng Ao Tian coldly gazed at Xing Yan, who immediately fainted. "It seems that the Right Prime Minister is indeed old and truly needs rest. If he continues to work so hard, wouldn't it be too heartless of me?"
All officials heard and hurriedly raised their eyes, looking at the Right Prime Minister Xing Yan who had fainted in the center of the main hall, and suddenly knew that the Regent King was going to be dismissed from office.
As expected, Feng Ao Tian's voice rang out again, "His Majesty has specially allowed the Right Prime Minister to retire and return to his hometown, but in consideration of his contributions to the imperial court, His Majesty will grant the current prime minister's mansion to the Right Prime Minister, allowing him to spend his twilight years in comfort."
As soon as this was said, the officials were even more frightened and trembling. So, it would be easy to dismiss the Right Chancellor's official position. Then, who would take over the Right Chancellor's position?
"Left Prime Minister, you are also guilty in this case. However, I recall that Blue Imperial Historian has made contributions to the Two Huai regions, and considering his many years of hard work, I will allow him to resign from his official position. This is also a reward for Right Prime Minister. Once Blue Imperial Historian returns to the capital, he will immediately take over Right Prime Minister's position." Feng Ao Tian continued.
Lan Feng was shocked by the successive blows in front of him, and he was frightened to the point of being drenched in cold sweat. Now, after serving as an official for several decades, he ended up in such a state. Fortunately, his heart was comforted, at least his son had succeeded him in his position, which was also a rare thing.
"Your humble servant thanks Your Highness." Lan Feng hastily knocked his head on the ground and replied.
Now, he raised his eyes and looked at the former emperor sitting on one side, suddenly feeling that this court would not change because of them, it was time for those old men to let go.
Feng Ao Tian swept his gaze over the faces of the officials before asking, "The imperial examination is imminent, how many people have come to take the exam?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, there are less than twenty people." Mu Hanjin stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Fengguo has produced many talents, yet no one has come to take the exam. It seems that Fengguo's men are truly useless." Feng Ao Tian said in a deep voice, "Since no man has come to take the exam, then we will open a separate women's examination department. I, the king, will also set the first precedent for women to become officials."
As soon as this statement came out, it shocked the imperial court. The ministers originally wanted to refute, but they raised their eyes and saw the cold and fierce killing intent of Shang Feng, who was standing above them. They immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak. How could a woman attend the imperial court?
"In another month, it will be the Imperial Examination. If not enough people sign up for the examination, I will open a separate examination for women. This way, the citizens of Feng Guo can see just how useless these self-proclaimed talented young men are." Feng Ao Tian said coldly.
In this way, the officials have no mood to think about persuading the former emperor to take power. Now, even their lives are not guaranteed, let alone letting women be officials, wouldn't these courtiers be ridiculed?
Feng Ao Tian saw that everyone was silent and said in a low voice, "Is there anything else? If not, then dismiss the court."
"Long live the Regent, long live, long live!" The officials hastily thanked and said that if there was anything else, they would be specified, otherwise it would be best to disperse early, as even the invincible Left and Right Chancellors had been dismissed. It would be better for them to be obedient and not seek trouble. More importantly, they should think of ways to find the examinees who were supposed to take the exam.
Feng Ao Tian stood up, looking at the other end where Feng Ao Yun was sitting, who had not spoken from start to finish. He hastily smiled and said, "Imperial brother, how do you think today's morning court went?"
"The prince's affairs are going very well." Feng Ao Yun stood up, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Feng Ao Tian hastily humbled himself and changed the cold atmosphere of the imperial court, saying, "Imperial brother, do not tease your younger brother."
All officials only remembered the late emperor sitting on one side when they were leaving after the court session, but after a glance, they quietly dispersed, and no one dared to mention it.
Blue Maple stepped out of the Golden Hall, looking at the majestic palace in front of him, and he sighed softly. The officials who used to surround him now came to congratulate him, first for his successful retirement, and secondly for the celebration of Prince's succession as Prime Minister. Because, in Fengguo, there has been an unwritten law for a hundred years, every generation of prime ministers will come from the same family name. Therefore, in the past hundred years, there has never been a case where two generations served as prime minister at the same time. Now, however, Blue Maple broke this rule.
Although Lan Xing felt somewhat relieved, he also showed a hint of worry. The regent's temperament was cold and unpredictable, with cruel means, it was unknown whether Xuan Shu's ascension would bring good fortune or disaster.
Xiang Yan was carried out by the Imperial Guards, and it wasn't until he returned to his residence that he suddenly woke up with a start, only to realize that he had been stripped of his official position. He spat out another mouthful of old blood and immediately fainted again.
Inside the Golden Dragon Hall, only Feng Ao Tian and the fake Feng Ao Yun were left. "Imperial brother, are you accustomed to staying in the palace last night?"
"Very well." Feng Ao Yun smiled lightly and said, "How about the imperial brother following the imperial brother for a walk?"
"Good." Feng Ao Tian nodded, and then the two of them stepped out of the Golden Hall, and as soon as they entered their line of sight, they saw Mu Han Jin waiting for her.
"Your Majesty, I have seen the Emperor." Mu Hanjin turned around and bowed respectfully.
"It's actually Mu Qing's family." Feng Ao Yun said kindly as he looked at Mu Han Jin.
Mo Hanjin's expression was calm and composed, "Your Highness, I will first return to the Supervisory Institute."
"Go ahead." Feng Ao Tian looked at Mu Han Jin with a slight smile.
Mu Hanjin also had a faint expression, with a soft light passing through her eyebrows and eyes. After finishing the ceremony, she turned around and left.
Feng Ao Tian gazed at Mu Han Jin's departing figure, as if, after her rebirth, she had always been the one watching others leave, yet no one had ever made her watch them leave like this.
Compared to his past life, forever gazing at that cold and indifferent back, now, looking at Mu Hanjin's jade-like figure, he felt a warmth in his heart.
She raised her eyes and looked at Feng Ao Yun who was smiling at her. She smiled lightly, "Imperial brother, have you been well these past two years?"
"For these two years, the Emperor has been thinking of his brother day and night." Feng Ao Yun said in a warm voice as he walked.
Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, gazing at his profile, a hint of slyness curling up the corner of his mouth. "Imperial brother, if you truly care about your imperial younger brother, why did you keep your fake death a secret from me?"
"Brother Huang was also helpless." Feng Ao Yun looked at Feng Ao Tian, "In these two years, have you ever thought of Brother Huang?"
Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes, looked at her, and a bitter smile played on the corner of his mouth. "Imperial brother, you understand, why ask me?"
Feng Ao Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy, and he took a step forward, taking her hand in his. He gazed at her deeply, "Imperial brother, is there still room for me in your heart?"
Feng Ao Tian's mind stirred, and he looked at him, but didn't know why he had entered the palace. He wasn't really Feng Ao Yun, yet his eyes revealed a similar gaze to Feng Ao Yun's. "Imperial brother, your subject doesn't understand, why have you returned to the capital?"
"If I said it was for you?" Feng Ao Yun's eyes were filled with unshed tender feelings.
Feng Ao Tian thought to himself, if the previous owner of this body had seen such deep emotions and words, he would have definitely fallen into her gentle and sweet intentions, but she wasn't.
She trembled and then pulled her hand out of his. "Imperial brother, even if I have you in my heart, but we are ultimately impossible, we are siblings after all."
Feng Ao Yun looked at her sideways, took a step forward, and again held her hand, gazing at her. "I know, so I hid it from you. For the past two years, I've been thinking about you day and night. Do you know the torment in my heart?"
Feng Ao Tian's eyes stared blankly at him, "Imperial brother, everything is too late."
"No, it's not late." Feng Ao Yun grasped his hand, "Let's leave this place, I'll take you back to Xianyun Mountain."
Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of delight and incredulity, "Really?"
"Hmm." Feng Ao Yun nodded, "There's only you and me there, no one will come to disturb us."
Feng Ao Tian's face showed hesitation, "Let me think about it carefully."
"Alright, I'll wait for you." Feng Ao Yun stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, "I will keep waiting until you change your mind."
"But you already have an empress by your side." Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes and looked at him.
"In my heart, there is only you." Feng Ao Yun looked at her with deep affection, "I thought you could understand."
Feng Ao Tian hastily leaned into his arms, "I understand, I completely understand."
Mu Hanjin sat alone in the carriage, his heart worrying about her, his mind restless.
When Leng Qianye stepped out of the Regent's palace, he looked at the scenery outside, his mouth slightly pursed. This cage, he finally came out. He took a step forward, leaving without looking back, his toes lightly tapping as he flew towards the Leng manor.
After bidding farewell to Feng Ao Tian and Feng Ao Yun, she stepped out of the imperial palace, sat in the imperial sedan chair, put down the gentle emotions she had just shown, restored her usual calmness, sat upright inside, closed her eyes and meditated.
Returning to the palace, she went straight back to her bedroom and saw that Feng Yuqi had already gotten out of bed and was having breakfast. She looked at him with a bright smile on her face, "Wang Shu."
"Hmm." Feng Ao Tian reached out and touched his face, his appearance was exactly like that of the Emperor's brother, but she vaguely felt that something was off.
Feng Yin Qi saw that Feng Ao Tian had something on his mind, and continued to say, "Wang Shu, after these few days when my nephew recovers from his illness, I will issue an imperial edict to abdicate the throne in favor of you, how about it?"
"It's not the time yet." Feng Ao Tian looked at him, "You can sit on this throne for now. The situation in the palace is unclear at present, and before I find out the purpose of that person who came here, you will stay with me safely."
"Good." Feng Yin Qi naturally agreed. As for that cold imperial throne, he preferred to stay by Wang Shu's side like this.
Feng Ao Tian immediately sat down and had a meal with him.
The Empress Dowager's palace, Feng Ao Yun's eyes flashed with a cold glint, "She is indeed not easy to deal with."
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Xing Ziyuan had thought that after this morning's court session, he would be able to ascend the throne successfully, but unexpectedly, it turned out like this.
"I am now naturally entering the palace, which is the first step. As for the second step... " Feng Ao's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "Everything will proceed according to the original plan."
"Yes." Xing Zhiyan replied, and then retreated out immediately.
Mo Hanjin returned to the Regent's Palace from the Supervisory Institute, and as soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw Feng Ao Tian and Feng Yu Qi chatting and laughing. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he stepped into the bedroom.
Feng Ao Tian turned his gaze and saw him enter, "How did things go?"
"Prince Wang, are you really going to use a woman?" Mu Hanjin sat down and asked in a low voice.
"Since no one else is available, then a woman must be used." Feng Ao Tian stretched out his hand and pulled him into his own arms. "In terms of strategy, women are not inferior to men."
"Now, I'm afraid it's those who are still gloating in secret, they must be thinking of ways to increase the number of candidates for the imperial examination. Otherwise, if a woman were to enter the imperial court as an official, they would surely be greatly shocked." Mu Hanjin felt that since ancient times, there had never been a precedent for a woman entering the imperial court as an official, and now if this precedent were to be broken, it would surely cause a huge stir.
Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, "If I do this, it's to provoke them."
Mu Hanjin left her bosom and stepped into the study room, "Wang Ye, since you have returned to Beijing, this memorial..."
Feng Ao Tian raised his voice and laughed, stretching out his hand to pull Feng Yu Qi into his arms, "Let's go, don't think you can escape."
Feng Yin's face turned gloomy, "Royal Uncle, I'm a sick man now."
"What does it matter?" Feng Ao Tian said, already pulling him towards the study.
Mo Hanjin had already prepared his writing instruments and sat upright on the soft couch, beginning to review the memorials. Feng Ao Tian sat opposite him, with a lazy expression, lacking enthusiasm, compared to the excited look he had a month ago, it was like heaven and earth apart.
Feng Ao Tian looked at him and said, "Where has your teeth-gnashing, hair-standing-on-end energy gone for the past two years?"
Feng Yu played with the red pen and said "I've eaten."
Feng Ao Tian stretched out his hand and patted him on the head, "If you don't watch, then roll out."
Feng Yu heard this and couldn't help but straighten his back, smiling brightly at her, "With Uncle Wang here, everything is fine. I'm a bit dizzy, so I won't join in the fun."
"Dizzy?" Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, then reached out and pulled off his belt, tying one end to his hair and the other to the beam of the house. "This way, you won't be dizzy."
Feng Rou's eyes were about to lower when a sharp pain shot through his scalp, as if it was being torn apart. He furrowed his brow and turned to look at Feng Ao Tian, "Uncle Wang, can you really bear to treat your nephew like this?"
"Hmm." Feng Ao Tian nodded and then ignored him, taking the memorial from Mu Han Jin and reading it.
"Master, Leng Qianye has set off." The soul's voice rang out.
"Hmm." Feng Ao Tian nodded, "Where did Xing Wu Yun go?"
"He will arrive tomorrow." The soul replied again.
"How is Minyi Yin Hao?" Feng Ao Tian asked immediately.
"Han Lian's voice was urgent as he replied, 'Everything is normal.'"
Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes and looked at Mu Han Jin, "Find out the places that urgently need disaster relief now."
"Yes." Mu Hanjin replied, and then picked up his pen to write.
Feng Ao Tian glanced at him and said, "What advantages do these places have? Write them all down."
"Yes." Mu Hanjin continued writing and also made notes of other places around.
"Feng Ao Tian looked around and asked, 'Now, are there any merchants who can transfer money?'"
"Yes." Mu Hanjin handed her a sealed letter.
Feng Ao Tian unfolded the secret letter and after reading it, said "Why so much trouble."
As he spoke, he picked up his pen and filled in the places where the disaster relief funds were to be transferred, with the names of those merchants who had been bribed. "Within two days, move all their money to these places."
"Yes." The soul responded in a low voice.
Mu Hanjin looked at Feng Ao Tian, thinking that this was the simplest solution. Those merchants who arrived in that barren land would naturally think of ways to get rich, otherwise they would surely be robbed by the local people.
"Very straightforward." Mu Hanjin smiled and said, "How could I have not thought of such a method?"
"Master knows you have your ways." Feng Ao Tian looked at him, "Those merchants' every move is clearer to you than to me."
Mo Hanjin smiled but didn't speak, Feng Yuqi yawned and looked at the memorial in front of him, suddenly feeling drowsy, nodding from time to time. Alas, every time he did, a headache would follow. He could only shift his gaze, pitifully looking at Feng Ao Tian.
Feng Ao Tian glanced at him sideways, and felt that this little guy had been reborn, becoming even more idle and lazy, to the point where he wouldn't even sit up straight in the past.
Mu Hanjin handed over the memorial after reviewing it and placed it in front of Feng Ao Tian, "Your Highness, the Emperor is certainly not yet fully recovered."
"Hmm." Feng Ao Tian nodded and ignored him, picking up his pen to look at the document in front of him, "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"Yuroguo, Xuemo Country, Leqiguo, three countries are competing with each other. It just so happens that Leqiguo has a new emperor on the throne, and all the small countries must send people to congratulate him." Mu Hanjin looked at Feng Ao Tian and said, "Now, apart from the king of Fengguo, who else is qualified?"
"Grandfather won't go." Feng Ao Tian flicked his fan, "No time."
Mu Hanjin looked at her, "If we don't go, it will cause Leiqi Country's dissatisfaction. If he raises an army to punish us, Feng Country can only surrender."
"Not necessarily." Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, looking at Mu Han Jin, "Although Feng Guo is small, however, the low voice is biased towards the south, and Le Qi Guo is biased towards the east. Even if he sends troops, it will take time. Can't you make preparations in advance during this period of time?"
"Your Highness, at present, the Feng nation is beset with internal troubles and external threats. We absolutely cannot add insult to injury." Mu Hanjin said in a gentle voice, "A small act of mercy can ruin great plans."
"Master said he won't go, so he won't go." Feng Ao Tian waved his hand and said, "If you dare to speak again, Master will deal with you right here."
Mu Hanjin was about to retort when he saw Feng Ao Tian raise an eyebrow and gaze at him coldly, and immediately fell silent.
At this moment, Feng Xuanji suddenly leaned towards her side, and Feng Ao Tian turned around, stretched out his hand, and was about to slap him.
"Hmph!" Feng Yu furiously spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
