The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

In the court, all the officials were whispering, and the first to bear the brunt was Huang Huaiyuan. He took two steps forward and saluted Su Mi.

"Your Majesty, I see that you seem to be in discomfort. Is this edict your own will? Is there anyone who is forcing you to do so?"

"Censor Huang, what do you mean by this?" Li Fuge interrupted Huang Huaiyuan.

Huang Huaiyuan glared at Li Fuge and said sternly, "Prime Minister Li! I am talking to the emperor, how dare you interrupt me so rudely?"

Li Fuge smiled and said, "Censor Huang, I am just kindly reminding you that the imperial edict just now clearly stated that the emperor is in poor health and has passed the throne to Prince Yun."

"And you also saw that the emperor looked exhausted. In fact, he only needs to issue an imperial decree and rest in the Purple Palace to recover from his injuries."

"Why is the emperor forcing himself to come to the court despite his illness? It is because of those suspicious people that the emperor has to drag his sick body to the court to shut them up!"

"I advise you, since the imperial edict has been issued, and the emperor himself came to the court to issue the edict, Imperial Censor Huang should stop interfering."

Huang Huaiyuan's eyes were wide open and he glared at Li Fuge fiercely, then he flicked his sleeves violently. When he turned to look at the dragon throne, he was surprised to find that Su Yu, who had just been sitting on the dragon throne, had been helped out of the hall by the eunuchs.

"I would also like to ask Master Huang, but do I have to disobey your order?"

Huang Huaiyuan looked into Su Yuntian's eyes without fear. Recently, many of his colleagues in the same court had died from injuries at the hands of Su Yuntian.

He has always been upright and has offended many of Su Yuntian's followers before. Even if he doesn't stand up today, Su Yuntian will not let him go.

Huang Huaiyuan raised his hand to Su Yuntian and said politely, "I dare not, but Prince Yun and all the ministers have just seen that the emperor's face is pale, his eyes are dull, and his voice is hoarse. I don't think the emperor can consider such a major matter as passing on the throne at this time."

Su Yuntian raised the corner of his mouth, looked at the officials in the court, and said with a cold smile: "Who else thinks the same as Mr. Huang?"

At this time in the court, all officials were silent, with their heads lowered, not daring to participate.

Huang Huaiyuan sneered, "Why does Prince Yun have to ask this question? Who dares to say anything bad to you now? They don't dare to say anything, not because they don't have this question, but because they are afraid of offending their wives and children at home."

Su Yuntian sneered and said coldly, "Since Master Huang understands this, why did he say such treasonous words in the court?"

Huang Huaiyuan said bluntly: "I am just worried about the truth. If I don't tell you now, I will have no chance in the future!"

"The emperor has been in poor health for the past two months, and even suddenly fell into a coma. Then he suddenly announced his abdication in the court. Prince Yun, do you dare to say in your conscience that these things have nothing to do with you? This is clearly your despicable means of seizing power and usurping the throne!"

"How dare you!" An angry shout rang out in the hall. The person who spoke was the newly appointed general Huang Xin.

"The imperial edict has just been read out. The emperor's will is known to the world. Ersu Yuntian will immediately ascend the throne, receive congratulations from all officials, and rule the world. All officials and common people should obey the new emperor and join in the grand event. Those who violate the order will be punished as treason!"

"Huang Huaiyuan, are you going to disobey the emperor's order?"

Su Yuntian looked at Huang Huaiyuan, his face showing no emotion, but his voice was as cold as ice. He continued to look at the officials in the hall and said, "This king wants to know how the crime of disobedience should be punished."

As soon as Su Yuntian said this, all the officials in the hall felt threatened.

Li Fuge walked slowly to the front with a smile on his face. He and Huang Huaiyuan had always disagreed on political views, and when he heard Su Yuntian's question, he immediately stepped forward.

"Disobedience is one of the ten most serious crimes, second only to treason and rebellion. Officials who disobey the law will be dismissed from their posts, sentenced to imprisonment, or exiled. The death penalty for disobedience is even more cruel than lingchi. Skinning, stuffing with straw, grinding bones, and scattering ashes are all ways of punishment."

"Then what are you waiting for? This prince admires the frankness of Imperial Censor Huang, but the country has its own laws. The imperial edict states that those who violate it will be punished as treason. This prince cannot disobey the imperial edict of his father and protect Imperial Censor Huang, right?

Su Yuntian said to the imperial guards outside the palace: "Someone come!"

Two imperial guards rushed into the palace and held Huang Huaiyuan tightly. Huang Huaiyuan spat in the direction of Su Yuntian and angrily cursed: "Traitor! You will not have a good end!"

Su Yuntian was unmoved and ordered the imperial guards who entered the palace: "Drag Huang Huaiyuan, who is guilty of treason, out of the palace and sentence him to death by slicing."

"If anyone dares to question my father's decree again, he will be guilty of the same crime as me! After the court session, everyone must watch how this disobedient person dies outside the palace as an example to others."

Huang Huaiyuan was dragged out of the palace, still cursing Su Yuntian all the way. The ministers were trembling with fear, and no one dared to speak.

. . . . . .

Su Muxue had a long dream.

The dream seemed very long, and she wanted to wake up, but she couldn't.

In the dream, Su Muxue seemed to be in an illusory world. She stared at everything that happened in front of her with wide eyes, in disbelief.

Su Yuntian and Nangong Ce were seen colluding with each other. Holding pills emitting strange fragrance, they tempted Su Yu, who longed for eternal life, towards the abyss step by step.

Su Yu, who was blinded by the desire for immortality, swallowed the poison pill handed to him by Nangong Ce without hesitation, with a satisfied smile on his face. But soon, the drug took effect and Su Yu's body began to undergo terrible changes.

First, his skin became loose and weak, with deep wrinkles like ravines; then his hair fell out in clumps, and his eyes, which had once been bright and sharp, lost their luster. As time went by, Su Yu's body gradually shrank, his eyes slowly closed, and finally only a gloomy and terrifying skeleton remained.

Witnessing this horrific scene, Su Muxue's heart ached and tears welled up in her eyes.

She wanted to shout loudly, but found that she could not make a sound; she tried to reach out to grab Su Yu, but her hands were as if nailed down and could not move. Despair and helplessness enveloped her, making her breathless.

"Father~" Tears slid from the corners of Su Muxue's eyes into her black hair. Gradually, she opened her eyes from sobbing.

When her blurry eyes gradually became clear, Su Muxue saw a green gauze tent made of gorgeous silk and embroidered with exquisite pictures and texts, with fragrant sachets hanging on the four corners of the tent.

Su Muxue raised her eyes and looked to her side.

A beautiful woman was sleeping on the tea table next to her. She closed her eyes, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and at first glance, it seemed that something was worrying her.

Seeing Mu Jin, Su Muxue became even more dazed. She thought, maybe she was still dreaming, otherwise how could Mu Jin appear in her room?

While she was thinking this, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside and a maid came in carrying medicine. The maid's name was Qing'er, and Su Muxue was a human.

Qing'er pushed the door open and saw that Su Muxue was awake. She paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and said happily, "Princess, you're awake!"
