Chapter 138 Finding People
"Your Majesty, please don't do that. Please think twice!"
Gu Mujun looked at the old ministers who knelt down together, and suddenly felt a surge of powerlessness in his heart.
Is this what he's been striving for? Even after he gets it, won't it still be like this?
He suddenly smiled bitterly. Why did he think that he could do whatever he wanted after becoming the emperor?
Only when you actually sit in this position, you will know how helpless you are.
He has sacrificed too much to be in this position, so how could he allow others to object to his ideas?
"Drag it on, who has any objections?"
After Gu Mujun finished speaking, he stepped down from the dragon throne, picked up a sword himself, held the sword in his hand, and walked around the ministers.
The crazy look made everyone silent instantly, and they dared not say another word.
Some people even blamed the prime minister in their hearts. He was a pillar of the country, but he couldn't even tolerate a little woman.
He chose to do it on a day like this, he really has no manners at all.
"Your Majesty is wise and enlightened! Long live our Emperor!!"
Upon seeing this, the ministers immediately changed their tone, looked at each other, and decided not to intervene.
Although this matter was never mentioned again, it still left a thorn in the hearts of the ministers.
Fortunately, the woman is dead, so it’s okay for her to be crazy for once.
After everyone left, Gu Mujun dragged his tired body back to the palace.
He had Song Nuannuan's body sent to Kunning Palace. Nuannuan had clearly asked him before her death whether she could be the queen, but what did he say at that time?
He said no, but now he is asking if Nuannuan can come back to see him.
"Your Majesty, it's time to let the Queen rest in peace."
For three whole days, His Majesty refused to eat or drink, and locked himself in the room with a corpse. Outside the door were kneeling eunuchs and palace maids, including some loyal ministers, begging for mercy.
They were all afraid that the emperor would never recover from this, and even invited the eldest princess, who was his half-sister, to persuade him.
"Royal brother, if you really love your sister-in-law, you should bury her as soon as possible to avoid hurting her. She loved beauty the most when she was alive."
The eldest princess lightly covered her nose to prevent the pungent smell from entering her nasal cavity, so as not to cause vomiting and provoke Gu Mujun's anger.
"Changning, Nuannuan loved you the most back then, aren't you sad?"
The eldest princess's face froze, and she wiped her tears with her hands:
"How can I not be sad? She was the only sister-in-law I ever recognized. But now the emperor's sister-in-law is gone. In the current situation, we should put state affairs first."
"Changning, I just realized that you are the most cruel one."
The eldest princess paused wiping her tears. After a few seconds, she looked up with tears in her eyes:
"What do you mean, my royal brother? Do you think I'm not sad about your sister-in-law's departure? But does sadness necessarily mean crying out loud?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red and tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.
"Is this what makes you sad?"
Gu Mujun pulled out the handkerchief she had hidden, which smelled strongly of chili pepper.
"Royal brother, I have been crying too much recently and I can't cry anymore!"
"Get out!"
"Brother, why are you so fierce?"
The eldest princess murmured in dissatisfaction, and her voice became smaller and smaller under Gu Mujun's increasingly fierce gaze.
"Nuannuan, it turns out you're really not happy at all."
Gu Mujun pinned the hairpin that he had carved with his own hands but did not have time to get out of it on the corpse.
"His Majesty!!"
The prime minister took the lead in shouting, which brought Gu Mujun in the room back to his senses. He realized that he had been sitting there for so long.
It took so long that all the peonies in the house were about to wither.
He took a last look at the corpse, which was no longer recognizable as a human being. She was wearing the wedding dress she wore on their wedding day, just like the sunny girl she was back then.
"Come here, draft an edict. I want Concubine Song to be buried with the ceremony of an empress, and after a hundred years, she will be buried with me."
"Your Majesty, think twice!!"
You see, even if Nuannuan died, these people would not allow themselves to possess her.
"I have made up my mind, please do not try to persuade me."
Gu Mujun decided to give Song Nuannuan the last bit of dignity.
At this moment, the guards caught up Mu Zixin who was escaping. Upon hearing that Song Nuannuan was dead, Mu Zixin was even more shocked than the emperor.
How is that possible? With Tang Ning around, it was only a matter of time before she rescued Song Nuannuan. She loved her daughter so much, there was no way she would commit suicide.
But he still stepped forward wailing in pain:
"Miss Song, what will happen to your daughter if you die?"
No, it’s fine if you just run away, but you don’t take him with you. What’s the matter? Do you think he has a long life? Now I just hope that the emperor will not kill him for the sake of the little princess.
"Song Shi is only a few months old, and she's about to lose her mother forever. She's still so young, what can we do?"
Mu Zixin kept increasing his bargaining chips to prevent the emperor from being killed directly in anger.
Gu Mujun, who was about to drag him away, stepped forward, grabbed Mu Zixin by the collar and lifted him up high:
"Where is my princess?"
"Your Majesty, it's in Tang Ning's hands."
"Someone, capture Tang Ning alive and rescue the princess!"
"Yes!!"
Mu Zixin, who had luckily saved his life, smiled bitterly in his heart. If Tang Ning didn't want to show up, you wouldn't be able to find her even if you dig three feet deep.
Before he could catch his breath, the emperor's words lingered in his ears like a curse:
"As for you, Mu Zixin, if Taoist Master Xukong doesn't show up within seven days, you will die."
"My brother-in-law really committed suicide!"
Mu Zixin had a numb and desperate look on his face. Let him die. These people said that his brother-in-law committed suicide and went traveling, but they didn't believe it and insisted that he bring him back.
Where can I find him? In the underworld? Will the King of Hell let him go?
How can I come back after I release him? If I come back to find you, do you dare to see him?
Seriously, can't these people make it clear? Dead is dead. If we want to find his brother-in-law, summoning his spirit is the fastest way.
"Then go look for it underground!"
Gu Mujun simply would not believe that someone like Xukong would commit suicide.
"Where is Prince Ning?"
The desperate Mu Zixin was dragged away. After arranging Song Nuannuan's funeral, he wanted to find the princess, but he found that he had to start with Gu Mufeng.
He has never even met his daughter, but she is being raised by these people. He doesn't know if they can raise her wisely.
What if she becomes useless? How can people like them be qualified to raise a princess?
It's really audacious to take it seriously.
Everything is peaceful and quiet in the space. No one knows how big the storm is outside, nor what the news outside is like.
Song Nuannuan was hugging her daughter who had just received the vaccination and whispering comfort to her. Little Song Shi had a low fever after the vaccination.
I felt uncomfortable all over and was whining.
She wanted her mother to hold her. As for Tang Ning, who was in charge of giving the injection, Song Shi despised her and she cried whenever she saw him.
Forehead......
Humph, my godmother is also a person with a bad temper. She will just ignore me.
