The host is no longer a human today.

The moon was shining on the willows outside the window, and candles were still lit in the imperial study.

After Yan Changsui went to the toilet three times and drank five bowls of soup, Shen Zuixue finally exploded and pressed him down on the table.

The veins on the eunuchs' foreheads suddenly jumped, and they all quietly retreated tacitly, leaving only two people in the entire imperial study.

The Queen is going to teach the Emperor a lesson, so naturally, they, the servants, have to stay away.

"Your Majesty." Shen Zuixue looked down at Yan Changsui with a resentful look in her eyes. "Don't you love me anymore?"

"Of course not! I promise, I love you the most and only you!" Yan Changsui stretched out four fingers as if swearing.

However, he lost his temper for a moment, "But, Ah Xue, loving you and not wanting to review memorials are two different things."

Yan Changsui felt like crying but had no tears. If he had known this would happen, he would not have wanted to be an emperor. Not only did he have to get up early every day, but he also had to review piles of memorials.

"Oh." Shen Zuixue suddenly sighed and relaxed the force that was holding Yan Changsui.

"Forget it. If Sui Sui doesn't want to, then I won't approve it. Your happiness is the most important thing."

Before Yan Changsui could be happy, Shen Zuixue continued, "At worst, we can die together in the future."

Yan Changsui stood up helplessly, "Axue, why do you always feel that I can't protect you? As long as I have military power, no one can hurt you."

Shen Zuixue shook her head. "Year after year, water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. Although you ascended the throne with military force, you still rely on the people's hearts in the end. At the very least, you have to be responsible to the people."

Yan Changsui felt a little depressed and remained silent.

He didn't want to be a wise ruler, nor did he want to be responsible for the people, nor did he want to protect anyone except Axue.

The suffering he had endured in the past had made him completely abandon the idea of ​​being a good person. Now he just wanted to be happy and didn't want to bow his head for anything.

The people are innocent, and Yangyan Dynasty is innocent too, but the culprit has never been him, but those parasites who died in his hands before.

Shen Zuixue sighed slightly, and suddenly hugged Yan Changsui, "Sui Sui, I know everything."

"I know you don't like this world, and I know you've suffered a lot of grievances. You don't owe anyone anything."

"If your choice is to be a tyrant, then I will always be with you. I am wrong, and I will not force you to change."

[Ding——Host’s character setting has been OOC, current character setting maintenance level is 80]

Yan Changsui hugged him silently, feeling a sense of grievance churning in his heart.

Obviously, he had avenged himself long ago and became a tyrant that no one dared to mess with, but now he was still like a child seeking protection from adults, absorbing warmth.

Yan Changsui suddenly raised his head and said, "Axue, I don't want to be the emperor anymore. How about we live in seclusion after I train an heir? At that time, we can go wherever I want."

Yan Changsui was not acting on impulse. To him, this palace was not a symbol of power but rather a cold shackle.

Here, he could never get rid of the shadow of his childhood, nor could he be his true self.

Even though he seemed to be in power and doing whatever he wanted, he was actually not happy.

"Okay~ I'll listen to you." Shen Zuixue smiled slightly, "Sui Sui, I came here just for you."

[Ding——Host’s character setting has been OOC, current character setting maintenance level is 70]

Shen Zuixue ignored the system prompt sound. Just like he said, he came here just for Suisui, and as long as Suisui was happy, that was more important than anything else.

……

"My dear ministers, I intend to make my beloved concubine the queen. Do you have any objections?"

The next day in the court, after dealing with the traitor He family, Yan Changsui went straight to the point.

The court officials fell silent, and then there was an uproar, with the entire Golden Palace filled with discussions.

"This, this, this, a man cannot be the queen!"

"That's right. The emperor has no children now, so the crown prince should be born to the empress. How can a man be made queen?"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I also plan to abolish the harem. In the past, there was only Axue in the harem, and it will be the same in the future."

Yan Changsui's words caused even more discussion among the ministers.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! Offspring are the foundation of the country, how can you abolish the harem!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, even if you want to make Concubine Shen the empress, you can't abolish the harem!"

It has to be said that before the abolition of the harem, who was crowned as queen was no longer so important in the minds of the ministers.

If today really turns out to be as Yan Changsui wishes, then their Yangyan Dynasty will really be finished!

After all, all those members of the royal family had been killed by Yan Changsui before, and now they have no children to adopt if they want to.

Yan Changsui looked at the court officials kneeling on the ground below and raised his eyebrows impatiently.

"Okay, that's it, you don't need to say anything more."

"Your Majesty! This is against..."

"As for the successor, I will choose one from the sons of your beloved ministers!"

The court officials originally wanted to argue with reason, but Yan Changsui's words made them shut up instantly, and the entire Golden Palace fell silent.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Mo Wenqi suddenly took the lead in shouting.

"Your Majesty!"

All the ministers responded.

What a joke! Interests are eternal!

If you force the emperor to hold a beauty contest, not only might you lose your head, but there is no guarantee that your daughter will be selected, and even if she is selected, there is no guarantee that she will give birth to a prince, let alone become the emperor.

But it’s different now. As long as their children are good enough, they will be able to compete anyway!

The court officials were immediately excited and began to wonder which child in their family was smarter and could take on the important responsibility.

Yan Changsui silently watched them ponder in their hearts and swallowed back the request of "being young".

Instead of adopting a child, you have to teach him. It would be better to let this group of ministers train him first, and then take him away with both the flowers and the pot. Wouldn’t that be great?

"Since all the ministers have no objections, then let's make this decision happily. All the ministers should go back and make preparations. Send the child to the Shangshufang in a month. Oh, and by the way, there is no age limit, as long as he is younger than me."

Yan Changsui spoke in a casual tone. Of course he was happy that he could get rid of such a big trouble, which would make it easier for him and Axue to live alone in their own world in the future.

However, his good mood was soon broken by Mo Wenqi.

"What, you want to ask for leave for half a month?" Yan Changsui was a little surprised when he saw the two people standing side by side.

If he remembered correctly, Mo Wenqi was a very responsible person, and An Jinchu was also a person who worried about the world before worrying about himself. Why do they like to act badly together now?

"Yes, Your Majesty, Chuchu and I are together, so... I want to live our married life together..." Mo Wenqi looked at An Jinchu with tender eyes.

"I don't agree!"

Yan Changsui refused expressionlessly.
