  Ning Furong received her punishment and was carried back to the prime minister’s residence. However, before she could take a break, she heard about what happened in the palace.

  All the people that she placed beside the empress were swooped. Not a single person was left out. The rest of the people were not changed but they could never get close to the Yangxin Hall again.

  “How could this happen……” Ning Furong was furious. “What did she find out?”


  “Prime minister, could it be that she noticed something amiss regarding the case of the Zhou family?” The man that was applying medicine for Ning Furong said out his opinion softly. “We framed the Zhou family. There are many old officials still in the imperial court so someone might have said something to the empress.”


  “Prime minister, shall we slow down the progress for the Zhou family’a case?”


  Ning Furong thought about what happened recently and carefully went through it in her head. She had meticulously planned out every single portion of the Zhou family’s case such that even if no one in the court believed that they did it, there would be no evidence to prove their innocence.”


  “It is not about the Zhou family.” Ning Furong was certain. “She must have found out something. The punishment today was the best evidence. She is warning me…… Heh, I didn’t know that someone who had been useless for so many years suddenly became smart.”


  “Prime minister, what do you mean?”


  Ning Furong grabbed the blanket underneath her. She emphasized every single word, “I don’t believe that that idiot would become smart overnight.”


  There must be someone guiding her. If not, she couldn’t explain why she suddenly warned her.

  “Don’t do anything for now.” Ning Furong ordered the man. She didn’t have the ability to fight with her yet.

  “Yes.”


  Ning Furong looked at the man’s handsome face and suddenly thought of Ye Mochen. If she managed to stand at the top, she would definitely get him.

  –


  The Zhou family’s case was not easy to deal with. Ning Furong prepared really thoroughly. From the pieces of evidence to the witnesses, everything was planned properly.

  Since it was not easy to deal with…… let’s do it the hard way then.

  Ming Shu ordered people to free the Zhou family.

  The imperial court went into an uproar. Ming Shu was attacked verbally by a bunch of officials when she went to the court.

  [Hidden task: Make being a foolish king your lifetime goal.]

  Very good!

  The time has finally come!

  The Harmony System is really urging me to be a foolish king!

  Well, let me be a foolish king then. I still have pig trotters to eat anyway.

  Ming Shu grabbed the things on the table and threw it forward. The clear sound of it slamming into the ground caused the hall to turn quiet.

  Ming Shu tilted her body and held her chin with her hand. “Are you all unsatisfied with my decision?”


  An official from the right stood out. “Your Majesty, there is conclusive evidence to prove Zhou family’s case. If you just let them go like this, there are no more rules.”


  “Oh, I thought that this is how you want me to act – without any rules.” Ming Shu said softly.

  The officials on the right gave different expressions and looked down together, afraid that they would reveal something on their face.

  Ming Shu smiled. “Since I let them off, I will let them off. If you are not satisfied with it, swallow your dissatisfaction. End the court.”


  The officials shouted angrily, “how can you confuse what is right and wrong?”


  Ming Shu got up. Her dragon robe dropped and the golden dragon on it seemed oppressive. She smiled and said, “the world is mine. If I say that the world is black, it is black.”


  She paused. “If I want you all dead, you all will die.”


  The hall quietened down again. Not even breath could be heard.

  Ming Shu, fooling empress, smiled and broke the silence in the hall. “If you want to stay alive, do your job.”


  Footsteps fainted and the officials in the hall looked at Ming Shu with a complicated expression.

  The officials on the right had mix feelings. They heard that the empress had beaten the prime minister up and the prime minister didn’t come to court today. The prime minister also shut his residence……

  Ming Shu walked out of the hall. The bright sunlight caused her to get a headache. A young general was waiting in front of her. When she appeared, he cupped his hand together. “Your Majesty.”


  General Meng was a rough man but his son was delicate like a scholar.

  Ming Shu acknowledged him and walked towards the Yangxin Hall. “Did General Meng say anything to you before sending you here?”


  Meng Liang caught up with Meng Liang and answered, “my father has already told me. Please don’t worry your Majesty, I will protect you.”


  “That is not necessary.” Ming Shu looked at the red blooming flowers along the hallway. “You just need to take whatever food…… beat whoever I ask you to beat up.”


  Meng Liang seemed stunned. He looked down after a long time and answered, “yes.”


  Ming Shu went to Yangxin Hall first to pretend and sit there for a while. After that, when she couldn’t stand it anymore, she left Yangxin Hall and brought Lianxin along to walked around the palace.

  Lianxin just thought that Ming Shu was in a bad mood and walked along with her. Ming Shu got tired of walking and asked Lianxin to take some food for her.

  The palace walls were really high, You could only see the roofs of the various buildings.

  “Who ask you to run! You stole food yesterday and you still want to be lazy and run away today? Do you think that you are still superior to everyone? Why not you take a look and see what day is it today. Why are you still so delicate? Who are you showing it to?”


  Scoldings came from within the courtyard. Ming Shu took a quick glance and saw a young man standing in the hallway, letting a eunuch scold him.

  Lianxin rushed over with a plate of snacks. She saw that Ming Shu moved and asked, “your Majesty, why are you here?”


  “Who is that?” Ming Shu took over the snacks in Lianxin’s hand and pointed with her chin at the young man.

  “That is……” Lianxin frowned slightly. She whispered, “the Xuan Emperor from the past dynasty, Junjue.”


  Ming Shu looked at Lianxin.

  Lianxin scratched her head. “That year when the late empress ruled over the world, she didn’t do anything to the Xuan Emperor that just ascended the throne. She just kept him here. The late empress died suddenly and she didn’t say what to do with this person so we jut kept him here.”


  Afterglow Nation, Junjue.

  Because of Ning Furong, the Host didn’t really care about all these things.

  She only knew that when the emperor of Afterglow Nation died, an internal war happened and a few princes fought for the thrown. No one got a good ending. The Empress of the Purple Moon Nation took the opportunity to declare war on them and the young sixteenth prince was pushed to the throne.

  However, the Afterglow Nation was already at the brink of collapsing so there was nothing the sixteenth prince could do to salvage the situation.

  After being the emperor for 3 months, the nation collapsed.

  This means that…… the male protagonist was the uncle of the sixteenth prince. ‘Ye’ was not the male protagonist’s surname but he needed to hide his identity and so, he changed his surname.

  “What do you think about making him my play-boy?” Ming Shu asked Lianxin.

  Lianxin kneeled down in fear and stammered, “your Majesty, that is not something you should do.”


  After Lianxin kneeled down, the rest of the maids and eunuchs following them kneeled down too. The commotion over here startled the people at the other side. The eunuch that was hitting the young boy looked over and then kneeled down with a pale face. “Long live your Majesty.”


  The young man continued looking down and had no reaction.

  The eunuch was so scared he got and kicked the young man’s knees. The young man fell forward and kneeled down.

  He looked up suddenly and stared into Ming Shu’s eyes. There were complicated emotions and hatred in his eyes. However, they seemed to be an illusion.
