Chapter 634 Zombie Prince 8

After ascending the throne, Gu Moshen and Mu Xue never stopped for a moment. They knew that the throne was not easy to come by, and to keep the country and let the people truly live a peaceful and happy life was a long and arduous task.

At the morning court, all the ministers were present.

"Your Majesty, there are floods in the south now. The people are suffering terribly. We urgently need funds for disaster relief." A minister said worriedly.

Gu Moshen frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately transfer money and grain from the national treasury and transport them to the disaster area as quickly as possible. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the Minister of Revenue responded quickly.

"In addition, I will send capable ministers to the disaster area to comfort the victims and organize post-disaster reconstruction. My dear ministers, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" Gu Moshen glanced at His Highness and his ministers.

At this time, a young official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the disaster area to share your worries and help the people solve their problems!"

Gu Moshen looked at him with admiration in his eyes: "Good! Minister Li, you are very courageous. I appoint you as the Imperial Envoy to go to the disaster area in the south immediately."

After the court session ended, Gu Moshen returned to the imperial study and continued to be busy dealing with memorials.

Mu Xue came in with the soup she had cooked herself. Seeing Gu Moshen's exhausted face, she said distressedly, "Husband, take a rest for a while. Don't tire yourself out."

Gu Moshen put down the pen in his hand, took Mu Xue's hand and said, "Xue'er, the state affairs are so heavy now, how can I rest in peace?"

Mu Xue sighed softly: "But you must also take care of your health. You are the backbone of this world."

Gu Moshen nodded, took a sip of the soup, and praised: "Xue'er's cooking skills are still so good."

As the days passed, thanks to the efforts of Gu Moshen and his ministers, the situation in the disaster-stricken areas in the south gradually improved.

It was a sunny day and flowers were in full bloom in the imperial garden.

Mu Xue suggested: "Husband, you have been too tired these days, why don't we go to the Imperial Garden and take a walk to relax."

Gu Moshen readily agreed.

The two walked hand in hand among the flowers, and the breeze brought bursts of floral fragrance.

"Xue'er, I'm so grateful that you have been by my side supporting me during this period of time." Gu Moshen said with emotion.

Mu Xue smiled and said, "We are husband and wife, so we should support each other."

As they walked, they came to a pavilion by the lake and sat down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened!" An eunuch came running over.

Gu Moshen's face darkened: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Your Majesty, there is urgent news from the northern border. The enemy is invading and the border war is tense." The eunuch said while panting.

Gu Moshen stood up suddenly: "Quickly call the ministers to discuss countermeasures!"

The atmosphere in the court was solemn.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is coming with great force this time, and we must send out our elite troops to meet them," said a general.

Gu Moshen thought for a moment and said, "General Wang, I order you to lead an army of 100,000 to the border immediately to resist the foreign enemies."

"I will obey your command and will not fail in my mission!" General Wang took the order and left.

Mu Xue was also worried in the palace and prayed for the soldiers on the front line every day.

A month later, victory news came from the front line. General Wang defeated the enemy and the border was at peace.

The heavy stone in Gu Moshen and Mu Xue's hearts finally fell to the ground.

To celebrate the victory, a banquet was held in the palace.

At the banquet, there was singing and dancing, and the ministers were laughing and talking happily.

Gu Moshen raised his glass: "This is a victory won with the blood of all the soldiers, and it is also the glory of our dynasty!"

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate this moment. As time went by, the country became more and more prosperous. The people lived a rich life and a peaceful scene appeared everywhere.

However, Gu Moshen and Mu Xue did not slack off because of this. They still governed the country diligently.

It was spring again, and Gu Moshen took Mu Xue out of the palace for a secret visit.

They walked on the streets of the capital and saw happy smiles on people's faces, and their hearts were filled with joy.

"Husband, seeing this scene now, everything we have done is worth it." Mu Xue said.

Gu Moshen nodded: "Yes, as long as the people are healthy, we are willing to pay no matter how much."

Just then, a little girl ran over and handed them a bouquet of flowers: "Your Majesty, Queen, thank you for letting us live a good life."

Gu Moshen took the flowers, smiled and said, "This is what we should do." The two of them left with a smile.

Three years passed quickly, and the years passed by inadvertently. During these three years, Gu Moshen and Mu Xue managed the country in an orderly manner, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was a scene of prosperity everywhere.

However, the wheel of fate was turning quietly at this moment.

On a quiet afternoon, the sun shone through the window lattice onto the ground of the palace, creating patches of mottled light and shadow. Mu Xue was sitting in the garden, quietly embroidering a brocade handkerchief. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and the scene in front of her began to blur. The needle and thread in her hand slipped, and she tried to stand up, but fell down weakly.

"Empress!" The palace maid beside her shouted in panic, and her voice broke the silence of the palace.

Gu Moshen was discussing state affairs with ministers in his study. When he heard the sudden news, his face suddenly changed and he rushed to the garden desperately.

"Xue'er!" Gu Moshen picked up the unconscious Mu Xue and said anxiously, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

The entire palace instantly fell into tension and panic.

The imperial doctors rushed over and surrounded Mu Xue's bed, taking her pulse, observing her, and discussing the matter. However, everyone's expression was extremely solemn.

"Your Majesty, the Queen's pulse is very strange, and it is difficult for us to make a diagnosis at the moment." The chief imperial physician said tremblingly.

Gu Moshen glared at them, "You are a bunch of rubbish! If you can't cure the queen, I will bury you all with me!"

Afterwards, he ordered to search for famous doctors among the people. At one time, famous doctors from all over the country were brought into the palace.

However, as the days passed, Mu Xue's condition did not improve at all. Her hair turned snow-white overnight, like frost and snow, making her originally beautiful face look even paler and more fragile.

Gu Moshen stayed by Mu Xue's bed day and night, holding her hand, his eyes full of worry and heartache.

"Xue'er, you will definitely get better. I won't allow you to leave me." Gu Moshen said in a hoarse voice.

Mu Xue slightly opened her eyes, but the brilliance in her eyes was gone. She forced out a smile with great effort: "Husband, don't be too sad. Life and death are determined by fate."

Gu Moshen held her hand tightly: "No, I won't let anything happen to you. I have already searched for famous doctors all over the world, and I will definitely find a way."

At this time, a folk doctor walked into the room and treated Mu Xue again. After a check, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my incompetence. The Queen's illness is caused by overwork and excessive worry. She is now terminally ill. I am really powerless to help her."

After hearing this, Gu Moshen felt as if struck by lightning. He staggered a few steps and almost lost his balance.

"Get out! Get out of here!" he roared angrily.

Only Gu Moshen and Mu Xue were left in the room, and it was frighteningly quiet.

Mu Xue sighed softly: "Prince, thank you for always being by my side. I have no regrets in my life, knowing and accompanying you. However, my only regret is that I didn't give birth to a child for you..."

Gu Moshen burst into tears: "Xue'er, don't say these things, you are everything to me, the child is not important, as long as you can get better."

Mu Xue shook her head weakly: "Your Majesty, promise me that you will take good care of yourself and live well in the future."

Gu Moshen burst into tears: "Xue'er, if you leave, what use will this world have for me?"

Mu Xue used up her last bit of strength and raised her hand to wipe away Gu Moshen's tears: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. I am already satisfied to spend this time with you."

After saying this, her hands slowly dropped and her eyes slowly closed.
