Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 385 Princess Rouan 35

After those words of veiled criticism were uttered, another group of people knelt on the ground.

The man who had been cursing incessantly had his mouth gagged by the Imperial Guards, and could only make muffled sounds with resentment in his eyes.

Still trying to bully you?

Since you came to power, how many noble families have you killed with your sister's big knife?

Five families were wiped out, and countless people were bled dry.

The tacit understanding that you and I had when your father was emperor has been completely destroyed in the short time since you ascended the throne. And you still have the nerve to ask us why we are rebelling?

Why don't you ask your sister?

Seeing their gazes, the new emperor leaned weakly against his chair and said softly, "All the blame lies with me alone, so why are you all dragging my sister into this?"

"It was because I thought that Cong-ge'er was too young to manage the court that I had the intention of bestowing upon him the title of Assistant Princess."

"It was because I could not tolerate the arrogance and contempt of the powerful families that I ordered her to remove the disobedient minister."

"But why do you all blame her?"

"She's barely of age! Don't you, my dear ministers, also have an age when you should show your talents? Why be so harsh on her?"

The court officials were all indignant at his words.

Don't you know how cunning your sister is?

She killed so many people that it was dark, and ransacked houses until her hands ached. Now you're telling us she's still a child and doesn't know any better?

Which kid is so destructive?

The court officials had a lot to complain about, but since it was the emperor speaking, they didn't want to follow in the footsteps of those bound men, so they had to listen obediently.

"Now, Princess Fuguo has only done what she was supposed to do, and you all hate her so much. I simply cannot imagine how you will treat her if I were to pass away one day!"

If they dare to stop Rou'an from killing now, I dare not even think about what they will dare to do in the future!

Suppression must continue!

The emperor seemed to be enraged, his face flushed as he rose and paced back and forth: "I know you rebels can't stand to see my siblings and me in harmony, and I never expected the royal family to have such a prodigy!"

"But I will not do as you wish!"

"Issue the decree! Promote the Princess of the State to the title of Prince of Qin, and grant her the authority to establish her own household and enjoy the same rank as the Three Excellencies!" He pointed at the rebels whose mouths were covered and who could not speak, and said, "My anger today is all because of you!"

After saying that, he shook himself heavily a few times and fell backward!

Ling Yi was terrified by this sudden scene and rushed forward to catch the new emperor.

At that moment, her gaze toward the court officials was icy cold.

She's been taking good care of this sickly man, and she doesn't even know how long he'll live. Now... um?

When Ling Yi looked down to check on the new emperor's condition, she saw him wink at her.

The anger that burst forth from his body suddenly vanished.

She was even a little dumbfounded; this guy…

The tea ceremony was flawless.

I previously said that I wanted to bestow the title of Princess of the State, but that was just a thought. It was you who angered me and forced me to make such an irrational decision!

I was so angry that I almost fainted. What more do you want?

What can the traitors do? They can't even save their own lives, so how can they possibly have the chance to express their thoughts again in court?

Now, it is the innocent ministers who oppose the emperor's edict who are now in a state of panic.

Now that the emperor has fainted from anger, what if he faints again when they oppose him later? What will they do then?

To be a minister who infuriates the emperor and leaves a lasting stain on history, while their glorious achievements are recorded in the annals of history?

"Please return home for now," Ling Yi said, gesturing for two eunuchs to carry the emperor into the study. She sighed, "My brother is unwell and unable to argue with you all. Please forgive him."

Having said that, he hurriedly followed the imperial physician into the study.

The courtiers, left standing outside for a long time, were at a loss for what to do and instinctively turned their gaze to the old gentleman who had remained silent.

Why is it that this person, who is not knowledgeable in politics, can remain in power in the court?

Because he was a truly upright person and a true person of propriety.

His life was without a single flaw. Even when he held a high-ranking official position, he lived in a simple house and used most of his salary to help poor scholars and orphans in the capital. He was a true moral gentleman.

The late emperor appointed him as the crown prince's tutor because he valued both his scholarship and his character.

With a teacher of this caliber in the court, the new emperor will not be allowed to act recklessly after his ascension to the throne.

However, a virtuous person can be deceived by reason.

The emperor, who was on the verge of a breakdown in the court, was still thinking about the image of his disciple fainting from anger.

He betrayed the emperor's trust, causing such a great upheaval in the court, and forcing the emperor to make an unprecedented decision in his anger.

The child was so angry that he fainted.

Having committed so many wrongdoings, what face does he have to offer advice? What face does he have to remain in the court or in the capital?

He glanced dejectedly at his colleagues who were looking up to him with high hopes, sighed, and got up first, heading outside.

Enough, enough, I might as well go home.

After entering the study, the new emperor sprang to his feet and peered through the crack in the door to observe the movements of his court officials.

Seeing the teacher leave dejectedly, he felt a pang of guilt, which then vanished completely.

The teacher is simple-minded and really not suited for the petty scheming in the imperial court.

Rather than letting him become a tool in someone else's hands, it's better to let him return home as soon as possible to teach and educate others.

Anyway, he saw that the Rouan plan needed quite a few talents, so he would just make good use of his teacher's disciples.

They're all his fellow apprentices, how could they be bad?

The imperial physician, holding a silver needle in his hand, stared in astonishment at the emperor who was watching the spectacle, unsure of what to do.

The palace is truly dangerous. Knowing of the emperor's actions, can he still return home safely?

He had always walked on thin ice his whole life, how could he have imagined that he would fall into the trap of the emperor feigning illness?

"You should at least set a good example for your son." Ling Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the new emperor back from peeking through the crack in the door. Then she saw her nephew leaning his head in, and for a moment, she was speechless.

This father and son...

His aunt grabbed him by the ear and pulled him back. Cong-ge said sarcastically, "I'm still young. What's wrong with me watching the fun?"

My father just said that he is too young to govern, so he appointed my aunt as the King of Qin.

Unexpectedly, his aunt was actually half a year younger than him!

Where will you put him?

It would be more accurate to say he was frail and sickly!

At least this sounds better!

The emperor sighed, "I'm not young anymore, what's wrong with me watching the excitement?"

How many days does he have left to live?

Ling Yi, her face darkening, pointed towards the back door and shouted, "You two, father and son, get out of here!"

This father and son are both useless and a nuisance, causing her trouble during such a busy time!

"Eh!" The emperor, who had only made a brief appearance, readily complied with Ling Yi's order to drive him away.

Firstly, he doesn't have much time left and really doesn't want to get involved in these things.

Secondly, it is to establish Ling Yi's authority. Once she handles more matters and the court officials get used to the King of Qin's command, everything will be fine.

He can live for a few more years; there's plenty of time for the court officials to get used to it.
