Ming Li paused, coughed twice. Cough, cough, cough! This king is not interested in that position. Moreover, National Preceptor, don't forget that the soul within that body is the royal of Lin Kingdom.
Shui Xingbai: ... He seems to have discovered something extraordinary...
Great... Great Master, what if your souls switch back one day?
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "There will be no such day. At least as long as she is in this plane, Qin Yu's soul will not return to this body."
Shui Xingbai: ... Alright, what else can he say? Great Masters are Great Masters. Their thoughts are not something a mortal like him can comprehend.
Thus, Shui Xingbai also left.
The next day, during the morning court, Ming Li submitted a memorial, suggesting that Consort Yu go among the people to understand their sentiments. Qin Zhanhan naturally disagreed. However, several ministers immediately stepped forward. Before Qin Zhanhan could speak, he heard several ministers say: "Your subject seconds the motion!" After all, in their hearts now, Consort Yu was the true Son of Heaven.
Qin Zhanhan: ...
Just as Qin Zhanhan was about to say something, several more ministers stepped forward, cupped their fists, and said in unison: "Your subjects also second the motion."
Qin Zhanhan: ... Dammit! Am I the emperor or are you?
Qin Zhanhan heavily patted the armrest of the dragon throne and said, "We..."
As soon as Qin Zhanhan uttered the first word, all the ministers present knelt down. Those who didn't kneel were stunned and followed suit, kneeling in unison and shouting: "Your subjects second the motion!"
Since Consort Yu was the true Son of Heaven, letting her go out to train was a good thing, beneficial to the common people and to themselves.
Qin Zhanhan: ... Damn idiots!
In the end, Qin Zhanhan was so angered that he left, leaving the ministers in court kneeling and exchanging bewildered glances.
Eunuch Liu watched Qin Zhanhan's departing back and quickly shouted, "Court is adjourned!" After shouting, he quickly followed Qin Zhanhan.
At this moment, Xing Zhilin walked up and said to Ming Li, "Old Qin! We haven't had a drink together for a long time. I happen to have time today. Shall we go to my place for a while?"
Ming Li: ... Alright.
Ming Li's lips twitched. He was somewhat speechless. Although he knew Xing Zhilin was after his peach blossom wine, the military power was now in his hands.
...
As Ming Li emerged from the General's mansion, a black military tally was in his hand. Ming Li looked at the military tally with satisfaction, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
System: Host, how did you get the military tally so easily?
Ming Li: Shui Xingbai must have said something to him.
Upon returning to the Yu Prince's mansion, Ming Li directly packed Qin Yu away and then began to act.
Sensing Ming Li's movements, Qin Zhanhan's entire body exuded a chilling aura.
His brother was truly audacious, harboring ambitions for his position. If that was the case, he could not be allowed to live.
Thinking this, Qin Zhanhan spoke coldly to the air: "Yu Prince's mansion, leave no one."
...
A group of dark figures swiftly surrounded the Yu Prince's mansion, silently.
In the study, Lan Yi sensed the anomaly and was about to make a move when Ming Li stopped him. Ming Li put down the brush in his hand, placed the freshly written document into an envelope, and handed it to Lan Yi, saying, "Give this to General Xing later. I will handle the matters outside."
