Situ Xiu reached out and pulled Su Yan close.

Just in his mind.

Xiao Hua’s voice rang out

"Ding dong, congratulations Host on completing the task."

······

Three days later.

The Empress of Tiansheng Country announced to the world.

She would marry the Regent King as her husband.

Immediately, all of Tiansheng Country was in turmoil.

Everyone thought this Empress was indeed strong-willed.

She actually captured the Regent King into her own harem. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Two months later.

The Empress and the Regent King had a grand wedding.

The ’dowry’ from the Regent King’s family

was sent to the Imperial Palace carriage after carriage.

In total, there were thirty carriages.

Not only that,

but they also sent along two Commander’s Seals as part of the dowry.

On that day, witnessed by the State Preceptor.

On the altar.

The two of them bowed to the heavens and earth.

Situ Xiu took the opportunity to hand the two Commander’s Seals to Su Yan in front of the citizens and officials.

And so, it counted as relinquishing power.

The court was bound to undergo major changes.

Countless officials had different thoughts.

All were silently observing the situation.

Seven days after the grand wedding.

No need to attend court sessions.

After the wedding ended.

Su Yan resumed attending court sessions as usual.

Situ Xiu no longer needed to go there.

The position that was always unrestrained was now vacant.

Everyone went from being initially unaccustomed.

To later applauding enthusiastically.

All praising her in their memorials.

Because the Empress was married,

a general amnesty was granted to the whole country.

So much that Duke Ning, who was in prison, was released.

After half a month of recuperation at home, he returned to court early.

Upon returning to court.

Day after day, he showed no grievances.

He was extraordinarily restrained and cautious.

At first glance, it seemed as though he had reformed.

But behind the scenes, he was engaged in the scheme of bribing officials.

Su Yan’s confrontation did not make him repent.

Instead, it further fueled his dissatisfaction.

Just a mere girl.

Does she truly think of herself as the master of the world??

He awaited the day Su Yan would kneel before him and beg.

Thus, time passed, and another half-year went by.

The title of Regent King completely vanished from the court.

With the change of officials and as time went on.

Many people forgot about him.

Only remembering a name that was becoming more notorious.

The husband who was causing chaos in the harem.

On the table in the Imperial Study Room, there were far more memorials against Situ Xiu than ever before.

Stack after stack of memorials, all about.

Why?

Simply because Su Yan was attending court later and later.

And she was spending every day with that husband.

This husband was truly a disaster-maker.

Tiansheng Country was on its way to prosperity under the Empress’s leadership.

It couldn’t let this man impede state affairs.

Due to the husband’s special favor.

Many people began to advocate for Su Yan to hold a selection.

Initially, only one or two people spoke out.

Later, Su Yan started being late to court every day.

Even going as far as having that husband send people openly saying he missed the Empress, asking her to accompany him.

This was simply scandalous!

Such conduct!

Even the Empress seemed bewitched; whenever the husband sent someone, she would adjourn court early.

This could not continue like this.

Civil servants advised with their pens.

Memorials one after another, all cursing the husband as a demonic disaster.

Urging Su Yan to stay away.

Best to divorce him.

While Su Yan was reading memorials in the Imperial Study Room.

Situ Xiu was also in the Imperial Study Room.

That very husband who was being slandered.

Not only was a disaster-maker.

But also audaciously dared to help the Empress as she reviewed the documents.

If anyone were to see this, it would incite further curses.
