Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

The letter described what the prime minister had done over the years, his kindness in raising the emperor, and the queen's achievements over the years.

"General Hussar, after seeing Xingxi's many achievements, are you shocked?

Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I toss and turn and find it difficult to fall asleep.

I am lucky to have such a queen, who illuminates the dark corners with countless brilliance. However, what comes with it is a strong sense of inferiority. As an emperor, I cannot even surpass the queen's achievements, which makes me feel helpless.

On the one hand, I sent guards to protect her and ensure her safety; on the other hand, I turned a blind eye to the Prime Minister's actions and let it go. I longed to cut off her wings so that she belonged only to me; at the same time, I wanted to protect her wings and watch her fly freely in the vast world.

I know that you have handed over your personal soldiers to Mr. Huo. In that case, I would like to ask you and Mr. Huo to take care of Xingxi.

I find myself unfit to sit on the throne. This position is most forbidden to be soft-hearted, but I cannot bear to be cruel to anyone except myself, so I come here to make ends meet with the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister is not good for me, I will ask the General of the Cavalry to read the imperial edict. If the Prime Minister is willing to die to apologize, I will also have eliminated the treacherous minister..."

The General of Cavalry sighed, stood up and burned the letter.

Suddenly, the prime minister's voice came to my ears, as if choking with sobs; "Is the letter left by the emperor? What did he write?"

The general closed his eyes and said, "The emperor asked me to support the queen."

The prime minister laughed, "Who is he showing his love to? The queen has always been thinking about his position. This love is really ridiculous!"

As he laughed, tears fell without warning. He crawled to Mo Hongyun's side and cried heartbreakingly, "Your Majesty, why are you so stupid? I will never force you again. Can you please wake up?"

"Prime Minister, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Do I think that by crying I can escape the charge of murdering the emperor?" The General of Cavalry questioned. Now that things had come to this, he had to deal with the Prime Minister.

The prime minister smiled with tears in his eyes, "I plead guilty. It was me who harmed the emperor. It was me who harmed him!"

"I taught him to be both loyal and righteous, taught him the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and taught him that nothing is difficult for those who set their minds to it. Isn't that selfish?" He seemed to be crazy, crying and laughing, "I am not wrong, Your Majesty, wake up and tell me, I am not wrong..."

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Can you please wake up and listen to my confession?"

The General of Cavalry looked at the Prime Minister, turned his face away slightly, and his eyes turned red.

I can only sigh that fate plays tricks on us.

Shen Xingxi arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion with the imperial physician, and his eyes first fell on Mo Hongyun, who had "lost his life".

Her long hair was disheveled due to being wet by the rain, there was blood on her lips, and she lay silently on the bed with a pale face.

There was a smile on his lips, as if he was relieved.

I don't know why, even though I know it's fake, I still feel a little disappointed.

Hearing the Prime Minister's noisy crying again, he yelled irritably, "Shut up! I'm so annoyed! It's like you're crying at a funeral!"

The prime minister stopped crying instantly, and asked with hope in his heart: "Is the emperor still alive?"

The imperial physician said with a heavy heart: "The emperor has passed away."

Shen Xingxi and the Prime Minister frowned and scolded the doctor: "Shut up!"

The imperial physician, who had just experienced the death of the late emperor last year, was about to shed tears, but was frightened and forced to hold them back.

Unexpectedly, the queen and the prime minister burst into tears instead.

The system wanted to persuade the host not to be too sad, but considering that the delay in the barrage required points, it simply played a song and treated it as a combined speech.

[Even if fate is unpredictable, even if fate is tortuous and bizarre, even if fate threatens you that life is boring, don't shed tears or feel sad, and don't give up. I wish to accompany you forever...]

Shen Xingxi's forehead veins jumped, and he was furious. [You shut up too. I've been working so hard to build up my sadness. Don't you know I should also cry? Even though I know I'm crying for a living person.]

The system quickly turned off the music and apologized: [I was inconsiderate, host, please don't say that to me. My fake death drug can only control breathing, not expression. Look carefully, Mo Hongyun, who is not breathing, is smiling.]

Mo Hongyun: "..."

Inner thoughts: Please stop talking, I don’t want to laugh myself to death!

Shen Xingxi regained her composure: [Sorry, system, my tone wasn't very good just now.]

System: [Tsk, Mo Hongyun should be happy. If I hadn't detected that you were in a bad mood, I wouldn't have played the song.]

【Thanks. 】

This time, it was Shen Xingxi who took charge of the funeral, and Mo Hongyun also won the title of the second-to-last and shortest-reigning emperor in history.

Of course, on the night when the emperor "passed away", Shen Xingxi found a corpse and replaced Mo Hongyun.

She cried for him during the day and fell asleep with him in her arms at night. Her life seemed a little heavy.

Shen Xingxi and the General of Cavalry tacitly agreed not to mention the imperial edict, but Shen Xingxi participated in state affairs and maintained peace in the court.

But the court officials became more and more restless, and they would mention every day that "the country cannot be without a king for a day."

On this day, the body of "Mo Hongyun" was buried, and the General of Cavalry took out the emperor's edict and read it out in public.

The censor was the first to object, "General of the Cavalry, are you going to follow the late emperor's lead? How can you let a woman sit on the throne?"

Shen Xingxi curled the corners of his lips in disdain, ignored the objections of the ministers, accepted the imperial edict in public, and sat in the first seat.

She leaned back on the dragon throne covered with white tiger skin, and her voice was filled with majesty: "Let me see, which minister disrespected the late emperor and wants to be thrown into prison?"

"It just so happens that I want to promote a few people, but there are no positions available."

The ministers were silent and looked at each other.

Shen Xingxi: "General, please show the agreement I gave you yesterday to you all for your perusal."

The censor looked at the agreement that nearly half of the country's grain was in the hands of the queen, his hands trembled slightly, and he glared at Shen Xingxi, "Queen, it's you! You must have used this agreement to force the late emperor to go to the prime minister! Otherwise, the emperor shouldn't have suddenly gone to the prime minister's mansion. I secretly taught the emperor medical skills, so he shouldn't have been poisoned."

Shen Xingxi smiled indifferently, "You can think whatever the censor wants to think. I am just sharing good news with you all. In the past three years, the people don't have to worry about sudden natural disasters that will cause their hard work for a year to be wiped out. Isn't this a happy thing?"

"I have another piece of good news for you all. I have already prepared the dragon robes. I also have the late emperor's imperial seal in my hands. I also know that you have been preparing for the coronation ceremony of the new emperor. Let's schedule it for five days later. I don't mind dismissing those who don't obey."

She stood up and smiled, "I am not the late emperor. I like the smell of blood the most."

After saying that, he shot a hidden weapon, cut off a strand of the censor's hair, and turned and left.

She walked around the long corridor and came to a courtyard.

Mo Hongyun was wearing a mask that looked like Yun Jingce and fishing by the pond.

Seeing Xingxi coming back, he casually asked, "Is everything going well?"

"Just wait and see who makes the most noise, and then kill the chicken to scare the monkey." Shen Xingxi sat next to him and opened his arms.

Mo Hongyun put down the fishing rod, unbuttoned his clothes, lay in Shen Xingxi's arms, and said softly: "My dear wife, I want to serve you."
