After Being Forced to Marry a Tyrant of the Enemy Nation

Chapter 29: The Emperor Didn’t Kill Anyone Today

Su Nuan didn’t expect him to do this. Her body stiffened, but she quickly composed herself.

On the other hand, his heart started racing because his finger was on her soft lips.

He lost focus, and he immediately withdrew his finger.

He said in a low voice, “It’s okay now. Come to court with me.”

He strode out without waiting for her.

Su Nuan quickly stood up, lifted her dress, and hurried after him.

While it was Su Nuan’s first time attending such an event, Feng Junyi was not uncomfortable at all. So, she followed after him boldly.. This place was huge, and her husband was the greatest.

Why should I be afraid of people beneath me?

Feng Junyi sat on the dragon throne. Su Nuan thought that Feng Junyi was even more serious and cold than usual, and she felt nervous.

However, Feng Junyi held her hand and gestured for her to sit at the side.

She then realized that there was a curtain hanging behind the dragon throne. So she thought to herself, Could this be what it means to attend to state affairs behind the curtain?

By this time, all of the officials were shouting “Long live the Emperor!” in unison.

The Empress Dowager was also amongst them. As expected, she was still attending to state affairs even though her son had assumed the reins of government. Anyone would be worried.

As soon as the morning audience began, Feng Junyi asked, “Who was the one yesterday who said that my Empress would become a demon Empress who’ll bring calamity to the country?”

When Su Nuan heard this, she was stunned.

Me? Demon Empress who’ll bring calamity to the country?

She looked around in confusion with her large, dazed eyes as if she wanted to find the minister who had claimed that she was a demon Empress who would bring calamity to the country.

The ministers surveyed their surroundings, and their hearts pounded.

After the morning audience yesterday, they seemed to have discussed it.

After all, it was rumored that the Empress was the daughter of an evil consort of the Yun Nation, and she was famous for her good looks. In addition, there were also rumors circulating that the Empress was extremely bewitching.

However, the tiny human they were looking at now didn’t seem like a demon Empress who would bring calamity to the country.

Her palm-sized little face was filled with innocence and cuteness. She looked at them with her big eyes and was extremely adorable. With just one look, they wished they could take her away and pamper her like a daughter. How could she be associated with the words “a demon Empress who will bring calamity to the country”?

Everyone exchanged looks and cursed silently. Who was so blind to say that such a cute little person was an evil Empress who would bring calamity to the country? They should have torn his mouth apart.

When no one responded, Feng Junyi continued, “What? Are you all mute? Who was the one who shouted the loudest yesterday? Do you want me to call him out personally?”

After he said that, a minister stumbled out and stood in front of Feng Junyi. “Your Majesty, although this woman is young, she will become the Demon Empress in two years.”

Su Nuan finally understood why Feng Junyi did not allow her to dress up in splendid attire. He wanted the ministers to see her real nature.

She was a little girl with a tender face. She felt that this minister made such claims because he had nothing better to do.

Before Feng Junyi could speak, the minister continued, “The Empress’s birth mother is the evil concubine of Yun Nation. Like mother, like daughter—this woman will definitely become the Demon Empress when she grows up.”

“Drag him out and execute him.”

With a wave of Feng Junyi’s hand, a guard immediately came forward and dragged the minister out. When the crowd saw this, some wanted to stop him, but they were secretly held back by the others around. The rest knew what the Emperor was like and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. In an instant, the entire royal court was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

The minister who was dragged out was still shouting crazily, “Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You have to listen to this old official! This woman will definitely become the Demon Empress when she grows up! Your Majesty…”

“Big Brother Emperor~”

Su Nuan spoke up at this moment, her soft voice drawing everyone’s attention back.

Even the guards who were dragging the minister outside forgot what they were going to do.

Feng Junyi looked at Su Nuan, who continued in her soft voice, “Big Brother Emperor, why did he say that I am the Demon Empress who will bring calamity to the country? Did Nuan Nuan do anything wrong?”

She pouted her lips, looking extremely wronged.

She knew that these old fellows probably had nothing better to do, but they were receiving the government salary, so they were embarrassed about being up to no good for no reason.

She had never experienced such a thing before, but she could imagine it.

In order to avoid the end-tragedy of the original novel, she had to act cute so that the tyrant wouldn’t kill so freely.

As expected, a minister immediately spoke up for her. He walked up to the old minister who was being dragged away and reprimanded him. “You old man, how can you say such things? The Empress is still young. And so what if her mother is an evil consort? Our Shang Nation is blessed by the gods. As long as the Empress is taught well by a teacher, she will still be a great Mother of the Nation.”

After the minister finished speaking, he seemed to think that his suggestion was not bad. He turned around and knelt, saying, “I earnestly request Your Majesty to allow the Empress to study together with all the princes and princesses. With careful education, she will definitely be able to help Your Majesty manage the harem.”

Su Nuan was stunned.

Wait. He wants me to go to school?

Aaah! I don’t want that!

It wasn’t easy for me to finish university and come to this ancient world where I don’t have to go to school. Now, he wants me to study?

I still want to continue eating and doing nothing!

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager interrupted, “I think this is a good idea. What do you think, Your Majesty?”

Feng Junyi only gave an indifferent snort and said nothing else. When Su Nuan saw that the mother and son had reached an agreement on this matter, she gave up completely.

It was unexpected for the mother and son to reach a consensus. The minister who should have been dragged away suddenly exclaimed, “Emperor, Empress Dowager, the Empress is still young and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of reproducing. For the sake of the Shang Nation, I boldly request Your Majesty to select a concubine! I am willing to die for my impudence!”

After the minister finished speaking, he suddenly violently shook off the guard’s hand and ran into a pillar in the hall.

Everyone gasped. Even Su Nuan stood up.

Good heavens, he ran into the pillar at the slightest disagreement. It’s so shocking to witness such a TV drama scene.

On the other hand, Feng Junyi, who was beside her, did not have much of a reaction. He only waved his hand and said, “Drag him away.”

One of the eunuchs stepped forward to check the minister’s breathing. He overlapped his hands before his chest and said, “Empress Dowager, Lord Wang is still alive.”

Feng Junyi said, “Then drag him to the Imperial hospital. Alright, the morning audience ends here today. Adjourn.”

With that, he stepped down from the dragon throne with a displeased expression. The ministers were caught off guard and quickly prostrated themselves, but Feng Junyi had already marched out the court.

It was only after the Emperor left that everyone finally stood up. Everyone was glad that they were alive.

One of the ministers stood up and wiped his tears with his sleeve. He noted, “The Emperor didn’t kill anyone today.”

As soon as he said this, someone immediately echoed, “That’s right, that’s right. The Emperor hasn’t been killing as many people these days. Could it be because of the Empress?”
