Chapter 748 Long Live the Emperor! (18)
The Emperor now speaks eloquently and fluently, without repeating himself all day long, without even pausing for breath.

He is simply a debate master unlike any other before or since!
It's a real shame that such a talented linguist is an emperor. He should have been a censor, so that no one in the world could remain alive after he spoke so eloquently!

----

After the court session, Yu Muhuai returned to the palace to change into his dragon robe.

Yes, her treasury is getting fuller and fuller, but she is still wearing the old dragon robe and has not bought any new clothes.

Sigh, being a poor emperor isn't easy.

Upon entering the palace, they discovered that the Empress, whom they had not seen for a long time, was waiting there.

Xue Rong, Xue Fenglai's illegitimate daughter, married Wan Zhixin when he was still a minor prince and became his princess.

The two have gone through thick and thin together, which has not been easy.

Before Yu Muhuai arrived, Wan Zhixin and Xue Rong already had two daughters and a son.

Including the children born to other concubines, as well as those born to Wan Zhixin and his concubines after he ascended the throne, there are currently four princes and five princesses in the palace.

Nine children, in Yu Muhuai's view, was already quite a lot.

That's enough. No, it's more than enough for her to choose an heir.

The previous emperor did have several sons, but they all died shortly after birth, so the throne had to be passed to his younger brother, Wan Zhixin.

At that time, many people suspected that the late emperor might have taken elixirs in an attempt to achieve immortality, which in turn caused health problems.

However, Yu Muhuai suspected that things might not be so simple. At that time, Ping Qinian was in control of the court and would definitely try to interfere in the matter of the emperor's offspring.

Now that so much time has passed, most of the witnesses from back then have died for various reasons, making it difficult to uncover the truth.

Most importantly, Yu Muhuai had absolutely no interest in the truth of what happened back then.

Whether the late emperor could give birth, or why those who were born died, had nothing to do with her.

All she needs to do is acknowledge Wan Zhixin's wishes.

Wan Zhixin and Xue Rong have a good relationship. They have been married for many years and have supported and respected each other.

In her previous life, Xue Rong accompanied Wan Zhixin through the most difficult time of her life without complaint. She worked tirelessly and selflessly, and the patches on their clothes were all sewn by Xue Rong herself.

When Wan Zhixin decided to commit suicide, Xue Rong followed without hesitation or complaint, and was the first to swallow the poison.

Xue Fenglai's illegitimate daughter is so good and so righteous, but Xue Fenglai himself is indeed a greedy old official who is obsessed with money.

The difference is so stark, it's truly lamentable.

Because of the thorough investigation of Xue Fenglai a few days ago, the Xue family's property was raided and all members of the Xue family involved in the case were imprisoned.

Therefore, Yu Muhuai simply stayed in his main hall and did not set foot anywhere in the inner palace.

She didn't want to accidentally run into the Empress, who might plead for Xue Feng, which would put her in a difficult position.

If the mountain won't come to me, then I'll go to the mountain.

Yu Muhuai did not go to see the Empress, so the Empress came to Yu Muhuai's place.

Upon seeing the emperor, who was dressed in a dragon robe and had just finished court, Xue Rong gracefully curtsied.

"emperor."

Yu Muhuai glanced at Xue Rong, then looked away.

Just as the palace maid was about to help Yu Muhuai change his clothes, she heard Xue Rong's voice.

"I will come; all of you may leave."

The palace maids bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then they walked out of the main hall one by one.

Yu Muhuai pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She simply spread her arms out, letting Xue Rong help her change her clothes.

Xue Rong possessed a dignified and elegant appearance, exuding the air of a noblewoman. She had almond-shaped eyes, delicate eyebrows, and a gentle, non-aggressive gaze. This was one of the reasons why Wan Zhixin initially chose her.

Growing up in such a treacherous environment, it was already quite remarkable that Wan Zhixin was able to protect herself so carefully.

Although he had been granted the title of prince at that time, he was a prince in name only, with little real power, and still hovered on the fringes of the court.

Xue Rong was an illegitimate daughter of the Xue family, and her mother was just a concubine. Given Xue Rong's status, she could at most marry a merchant.

Or she would become a concubine of some official.

There's no way she could possibly be worthy of a prince.

At that time, it should have been Xue Fenglai's eldest daughter who married Wan Zhixin, but Xue's eldest daughter looked down on such a penniless, powerless, and penniless nominal prince.

It just so happens that Wan Zhixin didn't want to marry a pampered young lady, so by a twist of fate, Xue Rong became Wan Zhixin's legal wife.

But who knew that a few years later, the emperor, in the prime of his life, would suddenly pass away.

Even more surprisingly, before the late emperor died, he thought of his brother, who had a very low profile.

Thus, Wan Zhixin became the emperor, and Xue's illegitimate daughter became the empress.

Before Xue Rong became empress, many court officials proposed that other concubines be made empresses.

At that time, Xue Rong still held the title of Princess.

Because of her extremely lowly status, her position in the harem was not determined for a long time.

Xue Fenglai also took the opportunity to submit a memorial proposing that he send his other legitimate daughter into the palace to replace Xue Rong.

At that time, Xue Fenglai already held a high position in the court, and his proposal was approved by almost all the court officials.

But Wan Zhixin disagreed.

Fortunately, Ping Qinian also disagreed.

At that time, Wan Zhixin had just ascended the throne, and his position was unstable. Any rational person would know that he desperately needed someone from a powerful maternal family to help him consolidate his power.

Therefore, the court officials all believed that Wan Zhixin would definitely agree to change the empress.

But Ping Qinian was unwilling.

He didn't want Wan Zhixin's throne to be too secure.

Before he could determine whether the new emperor was easy to control, he could not allow Wan Zhixin to gain too much imperial power.

Thus, amidst the clash of various forces, Xue Rong was ultimately made empress.

This is exactly what Wan Zhixin wanted.

Xue Rong, of course, understood the Emperor's intentions.

If you treat me well, I will repay you tenfold.

Yu Muhuai recalled Wan Zhixin's memories and sighed silently in his heart.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Since Wan Zhixin's heart is set on national righteousness, the common people, and patriotic loyalists and soldiers, then Yu Muhuai is destined to have no choice but to disregard Xue Rong.

In his previous life, Wan Zhixin was extremely busy, only able to sleep for 5 or 6 hours a day. Especially in the later stages, he was so busy that he barely had time to rest.

In fact, they didn't care about personal feelings at all.

Not to mention Yu Muhuai.

She doesn't like women, nor does she want to have close contact with them; even if she wanted to, she couldn't.

Da Bai: What if the original owner's wish was for you to have a few children with someone else?
Yu Muhuai: If you dare to give me such a wish, I'll dare to switch jobs and go find Gu Yin.

Da Bai: I'm not asking you to give birth, I'm just asking you to sow seeds, and you're not even willing?
Yu Muhuai: Sow a seed? Then wouldn't I be no different from a stinky little brother that's been used and thrown away without a second thought?
Big White: Aren't you curious about what it feels like for a man when he's having sex?
