The group of ministers: "…"
They had studied the classics and learned about etiquette, justice, integrity, and shame. How could they learn from the treacherous officials of the Dai family? What was the difference between them and those treacherous officials?
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate …"
"If I say it's appropriate, then it's appropriate. If you continue to spout nonsense, then I'll execute all of you!" The Shi Sheng snorted coldly. "Anyway, if you don't do it now, those treacherous officials will take me down sooner or later. By then, you'll only be waiting for death. It's better for you to die early and reincarnate early."
The group of ministers: "…" They didn't want to die early and reincarnate early.
The Shi Sheng looked at them indifferently. The bright yellow dragon robe complemented her exquisite features, but it also added a sense of authority that didn't allow anyone to object to her.
Some of them claimed that they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and the people, but when the time came, they might not really dare to do so.
With the Shi Sheng's threat, the group of ministers who were afraid of death finally shut up. The Empress, who had been dead for three days, seemed to be more domineering than before. Her way of thinking was also more bizarre.
A few ministers were forced to join the Shi Sheng and decide on how to drag the State Preceptor down with them.
They didn't expect to have such an experience in the Year of Eternal Life.
"Your Majesty …"
Before the minister could finish speaking, a bright yellow imperial edict was thrown in front of her. She caught it with a dumbfounded expression and subconsciously glanced at it. Then, the corner of her mouth twitched. "Your Majesty, is this appropriate?"
The Shi Sheng smiled. "Am I not your Majesty?"
The ministers nodded.
"Are you happy that I've returned safely?"
"…" They were the only ones who were happy. The others were probably sullen.
"Since you're happy, shouldn't you pray for my blessings?"
The minister who was holding the imperial edict shook her hands and folded her arms in front of her chest. She bowed respectfully and said, "Of course we should pray for Your Majesty, but kneeling is …"
"How can they show their sincerity if they don't kneel? Hurry up and do it. "The Shi Sheng waved his hand as if shooing away flies.
The group of ministers: "…" They dared to ask those treacherous officials to kneel and pray for Her Majesty?
The treacherous officials had been growing rapidly in recent years. Now, almost everyone in the court was part of the Dai family's faction. Royalists like them usually kept their tails between their legs.
They wanted to continue persuading the minister, but they wisely chose to shut up.
"Yes …"
Only after these two matters were settled could the ministers have a chance to discuss the current situation with the Shi Sheng.
Although she was only dead for three days, three days was enough for people to do a lot of things.
For example, after she died, King Yu, who had been ordered to enter the city a few days ago, temporarily presided over the court.
Another example was the Dai Family's traitor party. They tried to take over all the remaining military power and coerce the neutral parties.
"Tell me …" Shi Sheng stroked his chin. "Why didn't Dai Xu rebel? Isn't it great to be the Empress herself? Why does she have to make the Empress a mere figurehead and control us from behind? "
The ministers were speechless.
Your Majesty, your question is very strange. How do you want them to answer?
"You're crazy," Shi Sheng concluded when he didn't get an answer. "Where were we? Continue."
The ministers were speechless. Her Majesty had already died once. Why couldn't they understand her thoughts?
Apart from these two matters, there was nothing else important in the palace. However, these two matters were of the utmost importance.
King Yu was the Second Princess back then. The First Princess had rebelled, and it was said that the Second Princess had also secretly helped. However, there was no evidence, so the Second Princess could still live peacefully in her fief as King Yu.
Not long ago, King Yu had sent a letter saying that he had married the Lord and wanted to bring someone back to pay his respects.
This was the custom of the Feng Luan Kingdom. Regardless of whether it was the royal family or the commoners, they had to bring the Lord to the ancestral grave to pay their respects.
The advisor beside the original owner was afraid that King Yu would not come with good intentions, so he suggested that the original owner reject him. However, King Yu's request was very serious, and the group of people discussed it without coming up with a proper reason to reject him. In the end, they agreed.
Thus, King Yu brought the so-called Lord back to the capital. After paying his respects, King Yu did not mention leaving. The original owner was busy fighting with the Dai Family's traitor party, so he did not rush King Yu. By the time the original owner remembered, it was almost the original owner's birthday, so King Yu stayed behind with this name.
Until now, when something happened to the original owner, King Yu was in charge.
"Your Majesty, King Yu requests an audience." Just as the ministers were analyzing King Yu's intentions, the palace maids came in from outside the hall to report.
Speak of the devil.
"Let her in."
"Your Majesty, this subject will take his leave first." The ministers were very sensible and wanted to leave.
"What are you afraid of? You can't see anyone?"
The group of ministers: "…" Isn't this the daily rule? Why are they the ones who can't be seen?
Your Majesty, is there really nothing wrong with your head?
The Shi Sheng did not allow them to leave, and the ministers did not dare to force them to leave. They could only wait to the side.
Outside the hall, King Yu followed the palace maids in.
Perhaps it was because of the good genes of the royal family, but the people of the royal family were much more slender than the other women of the Feng Luan Kingdom. Of course, compared to the male-dominated world, they were still tall and strong.
The difference was that the people of the royal family were all more handsome.
King Yu's father was also a beauty. King Yu had obviously inherited his father's beauty, but he did not lose the valiance of the previous empress.
"Your Majesty." King Yu walked closer and swept his gaze across the ministers who were standing close to the wall. He then cupped his fists and bowed, "I heard that Your Majesty is fine. It is truly a blessing for our country."
Shi Sheng lazily propped up his chin with his hand and frivolously changed King Yu's appearance.
King Yu was confused by Shi Sheng's gaze. He examined himself with a small movement. There was nothing wrong with her today, so why was she looking at him like that?
Shi Sheng finished sizing him up and said faintly, "Why are you looking for me?"
King Yu was a little surprised. Why did she feel that there was something wrong with the empress today?
Her tone and actions were different from before.
King Yu's mind raced for a few breaths of time. She tentatively said, "Since Your Majesty is fine, then I will naturally return this jade seal to Your Majesty."
"That's it?"
"…" Isn't this important? She had a look of disdain on her face. "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Put it down. You can leave now."
"Your Majesty? Are you alright? "The doubt in King Yu's heart grew. This was the jade seal.
"What can happen to me? Or are you surprised and regretful that I'm fine?" Shi Sheng's expression was mocking and his tone was extremely unfriendly. He was just short of saying that you were involved in the illegal activities of plotting against me.
"Your Majesty, what are you saying?" King Yu hurriedly lowered his head, "How could this humble subject dare to have such thoughts? The Feng Luan Kingdom still needs you. It is our Feng Luan's blessing that you are fine."
King Yu's words were beautiful, and his emotions were freely released. Shi Sheng couldn't tell if what she said was true or false.
"Put down the jade seal and leave." Shi Sheng waved his hand. This King Yu seemed to have some tricks up his sleeves, but he didn't know if he was the female lead.
King Yu was still nimble with the jade seal, as if he didn't care at all. After putting down the jade seal, he bowed and left.
