Chapter 125 The Prime Minister is actually a woman, and His Majesty the Emperor drools over her.
After she finished speaking, her tears flowed even more profusely, all her grievances turning into tears that fell drop by drop onto his heart.
Mu Chenfeng held her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his own body.
"Mumu, don't underestimate yourself! Our child will definitely not be like what you say. Whether he is a princess or a prince, he will be my most beloved baby. I can't give you a proper title now, but believe me, I will definitely treat you and your child well in the future."
Pah! What a scumbag! He'd rather die than have your child if he didn't give you a proper status!
Why should men have multiple wives and concubines while women should remain faithful to one man? What kind of ridiculous rule is this? Such outdated thinking!
"Although I am a concubine, in my heart you are my only husband for the rest of my life."
Her tone was full of helplessness and grievance, as if she didn't believe his promise that he hadn't kept. Mu Chenfeng was eager to explain and reassure her.
"Believe it or not, Mu Mu! You are my first woman. Before you, I have never had any physical intimacy with any woman. The concubines in the harem were just decorations; I have never favored them, nor have I been interested in them."
She buried her face in his chest, her voice low, "You are the emperor, and it is your duty to have a harem to ensure the continuation of the royal line. Even if you favor other concubines in the future, I will force myself not to care."
He seems to be very righteous, but in reality, he's full of jealousy. Let's see how he responds.
"Ding, favorability increased by 10, current favorability is 50."
The pig watched the show from the sidelines. Its owner's acting skills were top-notch. Mu Wanwan was sensible, obedient, and had a strong sense of righteousness. The image of Mu Chenfeng, who valued Mu Wanwan, had been deeply ingrained in its heart, not to mention Mu Chenfeng, this ancient man.
"Mumu, I promise you, I will never touch any woman other than you. You are the only one I want in this life!"
Mu Wanwan was overjoyed; having only her as the woman in her life was the right thing to do.
"Miss!"
Consort Xiao did not sleep all night. The emperor's departure enraged her. Not only did she beat the palace maid who was blocking her way to death, but she was still not satisfied. She also smashed all the palace objects on the ground. Now the ground is full of broken glass and a mess.
The palace maids and eunuchs on duty trembled with fear on one side. They had an unpredictable master, and everyone was in danger when he got angry, fearing that they would be implicated.
"Tell me, where did His Majesty rest last night!" The thought of someone else taking advantage of the situation last night fueled her anger even more.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty returned to his palace last night, and no other concubines stayed overnight at His Majesty's residence."
Consort Xiao wondered, if the effects of the nuptial wine took hold, would the Emperor really have to endure the night alone? That would be incredibly painful; it certainly wouldn't be as these lackeys claimed.
Are you sure no one else entered the Emperor's bedchamber?
"Your Majesty, last night His Majesty did urgently summon the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to an audience. There was no one else but the imperial physicians."
Consort Xiao waved to the eunuch who had gone to inquire, telling him to leave first. She then plopped down on the couch, propping her head up with her hand, finally calming down.
She was completely baffled. Could it be that the Emperor had asked Prime Minister Mu for help last night? And then Prime Minister Mu was injured in the process? And then the imperial physician was summoned to treat him?
"Xiaoling, go and fetch the imperial physician who treated the Emperor last night. Tell him that I am feeling unwell and ask him to come and take a look."
Could it be that the emperor really preferred men and was not interested in women?
Yesterday, he couldn't control himself and even wanted to go back to his palace. All his actions showed that he disliked women. She couldn't help but touch her face.
This face definitely has the power to bewitch men, but since she married into the palace, the emperor has never really looked at her, and his usual favors are just for show.
She had originally thought that she could give birth to an imperial heir, and that the world would then belong to the Xiao family, but after what happened last night, her plan fell through.
It seems that she can only place her hopes on Zhao Yihan. If her child with Zhao Yihan rises to a high position in the future, the world will still belong to the Xiao family.
The imperial physician knelt on the ground, looking terrified. He was the emperor's personal physician, and this was the first time he had been invited by the concubines of the harem to treat a patient.
After taking Consort Xiao's pulse, he truthfully informed her, "Your Majesty, you are in good health and there is nothing wrong with you."
Consort Xiao withdrew her hand from the pulse-taking process and restored her sleeve to its original position to cover her wrist. "I heard that you went to examine the Emperor last night. I wonder how the Emperor's health is?"
The imperial physician pretended to be very calm, as Eunuch Qian had already instructed him on what he should and shouldn't say.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty was feeling unwell last night because of the nuptial wine, so he summoned me in the middle of the night to check on him. I prescribed some calming medicine for him to take, and nothing else."
Consort Xiao raised her chin slightly, scrutinizing the kneeling imperial physician. "I only invited you here because I care about His Majesty. Are you sure what you say is true?"
The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his brow and kowtowed to her, “Your Highness, even if I had ten heads, I would not dare to lie to you! His Majesty was indeed tormented last night, but he endured it all. Fortunately, Prime Minister Mu and I were there to attend to him, and in the end, His Majesty was safe and sound. Please, Your Highness, see that everything I have said is true.”
She gestured to the eunuch serving beside her, who understood and quickly stepped forward to help the kneeling imperial physician up, then placed a bag of silver in the physician's palm.
"As you know, I care a great deal about His Majesty's health."
I summoned you here today for two reasons: first, I want you to take my pulse to check my health, and second, I want to inquire about the Emperor's condition.
Thank you for telling me the truth, otherwise my heart would have been in my throat. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive.
"Your Majesty, I understand. Thank you for your kindness."
After the imperial physician left, Consort Xiao fell into self-doubt. Had she guessed wrong?
After Mu Wanwan's repeated requests, Mu Chenfeng finally agreed to let her return to his residence.
"Mumu, I can't bear to see you leave!"
Mu Wanwan held her waist, her gaze resentful as she met his reluctant eyes.
If they don't leave soon, her back will really be ruined; he has no restraint after breaking his vows.
The phrase "lust blinds the mind" is perfectly applicable to Mu Chenfeng at this moment.
"Chen Feng, I've been staying here for over a month now. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid things will get complicated later."
Mu Chenfeng kissed her lips, somewhat dissatisfied, "Our relationship wasn't exactly innocent to begin with. Let them say what they want, I'm not afraid."
Mu Wanwan poked his nose with her finger. "Chenfeng, you are the emperor. Don't be willful, okay? You are not only yourself, but also have another very important identity - the emperor of the people."
Since being with Mu Wanwan, he had thought in his moments of solitude how wonderful it would be if he were just an ordinary young master from a wealthy family, and could get along with Mu Wanwan like a normal married couple.
"Chen Feng, once we step outside this door, I am the Prime Minister and you are the Emperor. We must maintain a safe distance, understand?"
You little brat! You've got this totally under your control!
