When Emperor Yong saw Shen Fu appear, he was also extremely shocked and astonished.

Wasn't she dead?

There's only one possibility that she would appear in broad daylight in front of so many people.

Fake death!

His feelings for Shen Fu were always somewhat complicated.

From the mistaken marriage in the bridal sedan chair, the Xuan King and the Fourth Prince fought over her, causing a series of troubles.

Later, so many dangerous things happened, and each one of them was inextricably linked to her.

Emperor Yong harbored suspicion, apprehension, and concerns about her, but also a hint of admiration he was unwilling to admit.

Later, when she became the Princess Consort of Xuan, these thoughts no longer mattered.

Because her husband is the God of War of the Great Yong Dynasty, and the entire Yong Dynasty depends on him, how could he possibly offend the other party's woman?

But the situation is different now!

She actually spoke ill of him in front of so many people. Isn't that the same as pointing her finger at him and cursing him?

If he remains unmoved, wouldn't that be tantamount to telling everyone that he, as emperor, has no authority whatsoever?

"You...how dare you!"

Shen Fu was not afraid at all; instead, she mocked, "If Your Majesty could treat the Second Prince and me the same way you treat foreign relations, would the Great Yong Dynasty have been restrained by the Northern Dynasty for so many years, and would the people on the border have suffered from years of war?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers behind him all wore intriguing expressions.

Clearly, they've had this idea for a long time.

They are obsequious to outsiders, but harsh and stern to their own people.

Such a treacherous act is unworthy of a monarch!

But no one dared to tell the truth, fearing that they would all be executed.

They couldn't help but give Shen Fu a thumbs up in their hearts.

As expected of the King of Xuan's woman, she is indeed very brave!

Emperor Yong also felt the strange looks from those around him, as if he had been stripped naked and stared at, and his face was completely humiliated.

He had never suffered such humiliation in his life, a hundred times more unbearable than the difficulties Murong Xiao had made for him in the first two days after arriving in Yongchao.

At that time, it could at least be said that they were wary of the Northern Dynasty's power and endured humiliation for the sake of peace between the two countries.

What is it now?

If he doesn't punish a mere woman who publicly rebuked him, where will his dignity as emperor be?

Emperor Yong was utterly enraged. "You've already committed sorcery and deceit, but now you dare to disrespect me! Guards, seize her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure in black robes blocked her way.

"Whom does His Majesty wish to eliminate?"

Seeing that hideous mask and the pair of dark eyes behind it, he couldn't help but tremble.

But what would it look like to take it back now that the words have already been spoken?

If a ruler does not speak lightly, then it becomes a child's game.

He could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Highness, you saw what happened just now. It was your queen who disrespected me first, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party.

"What, did she say something wrong?"

"..."

Looking into that suddenly cold gaze, Emperor Yong couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He respected and respected the Xuan King, but also harbored deep fear of him.

Back then, when the Great Yong Dynasty was driven to the brink of despair by the Northern Dynasty, it had no choice but to post a notice that anyone who could defeat the enemy would be granted a royal fief.

The notice had been posted for several days, but nothing happened.

Until one day, a man wearing a black iron mask took down the notice and came to him.

They said that within three months at most, they could defeat the enemy and recapture all the cities.

At the time, everyone thought it was a joke.

The Great Yong Dynasty had been at war with the Northern Dynasty for many years, losing countless good generals and suffering repeated defeats. They had even lost more than a dozen cities and were on the verge of attacking Yongdu.

He actually boasted that he could take everything back in just three months?

This guy is so obsessed with the throne, he's really overestimating himself.

Although no one believed it, no one spoke up to stop it.

At that time, the Yong Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and no one dared to lead troops into battle. Emperor Yong placed his last hope on him, as if trying anything as a last resort.

Unexpectedly, good news came from the border region half a month later.

They then swept through the Northern Dynasty army with unstoppable momentum, reclaiming all the lost cities and successfully averting the crisis.

Emperor Yong was overjoyed and immediately fulfilled his promise, bestowing upon him the title of king and exempting him from the kneeling ceremony, and also bestowing upon him countless gold and silver treasures.

This was all to retain this exceptional military talent and have him serve the Great Yong Dynasty.

But the Xuan King's abilities were so strong that he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

If he can continue to serve me, that's fine, but what if he develops disloyalty in the future? Wouldn't that be like raising a tiger to cause trouble?

Fortunately, for the past three years, King Xuan has been "well-behaved" and guarded the border, protecting the stability of the Yong Dynasty.

Emperor Yong dared not directly confront him, and after a long pause, he managed to stammer, "Even if I have done something wrong, the court officials will offer their advice. What right does she have to speak here?"

The ministers were all inwardly complaining at this moment.

They wanted to, but they didn't dare!

However, if a woman dares to speak frankly and offer advice, then a man can't just do nothing!

"Princess Xuan was once bestowed the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady by the Emperor, so she should have the right to speak to the Emperor."

"According to the laws of the Great Yong Dynasty, as long as the advice is appropriate, it is reasonable. What she did did not violate the rules."

"Yes, Princess Xuan's words are from the bottom of her heart. I hope Your Majesty will pull back from the brink."

Of course, there were also a few conservatives who spoke up for the emperor, believing that imperial power was above all else and that no one could disobey the emperor, regardless of whether he was right or wrong.

But their voices were quickly drowned out, failing to make much of a splash.

Emperor Yong, seeing himself trapped in a helpless situation, could hardly believe his ears.

Of all the officials in the court, only one woman's words were obeyed?

He is the true emperor, the Son of Heaven of the Great Yong Dynasty!

It's one thing to lose face because of Xuan Wang, Murong Xiao and others, but if he's made to lose face by a woman, how will he maintain his standing in the court in the future?

"You...are you planning a rebellion?"

"Since ancient times, emperors have been chosen by the most capable. With your qualifications, you are barely qualified to be the lord of a city. You should abdicate and give way to a more worthy person."

Emperor Yong finally understood.

They really want to rebel!

He abdicated, so who will be the emperor?

The Second Prince?

Seeing the look in his eyes, Jun Jingyan said, "Today is the last chance we're giving you. If you can order the execution of Murong Xiao and severely punish the mastermind behind this rebellion, the throne will naturally still be yours, and no one will dare to challenge it. You have personally destroyed all of this."

Emperor Yong: "..."

Is it too late for him to regret it now?

wrong!

Why should he, as the emperor, be threatened by a few juniors?

"You unfilial son, you really did want to seize my throne! I only regret not seeing through your wolfish ambition sooner and eliminating you as soon as possible. Where are the officials? Where are the guards? Seize them at once!"

"..."

The entire room was completely silent; no one dared to move.

Shen Fu shook her head; he still hadn't grasped the situation.

It's hopeless!
