After venting her frustrations, she calmed down. She should have known by now that even without memories, he was not someone to be easily manipulated. With the plan to deal with Feng Yu falling through, there were still other matters to attend to. The Emperor was becoming quite a nuisance and needed to be dealt with.
When there were only the two of them in the room, Yun Zhi Yue spoke up, "If Qin Wang doesn’t come, Your Majesty doesn’t need to hold back on your account. Just give a vague explanation and let it go. I’ll have His Majesty clear your name."
"You have many people in the harem; help me get De Fei into Feng Gong. It would be reasonable for the Empress to fall ill after being stimulated by His Majesty’s passing."
Luo Bai chuckled softly, "What the lady says is true. His Majesty has always favored the Empress; it’s only natural for him to be heartbroken."
Yun Zhi Yue's expression turned wooden, "Your sarcasm is palpable."
"Not at all," the servant replied, "I just think everything you say is true."
Ah, ever since Luo Bai returned to her side with full loyalty, he took her words very seriously; whatever she said was right.
Honestly, it felt quite satisfying—hahaha.
A smile flickered in Yun Zhi Yue's eyes as Luo Bai's gaze shifted, lowering his head to kiss her lips. Indeed, when she was happy, she wouldn’t resist his closeness.
As she had anticipated, with the Empress gone and De Fei manipulating deadly curses, the Emperor soon became physically weak and fell ill after coughing up blood.
Yun Zhi Yue continued to handle official documents while attending to him without loosening her clothing.
At first, the ministers were quite dissatisfied, but as Luo Bai cleared his name and the Imperial Noble Consort began reviewing documents again, they ceased their criticisms of her.
Once the imperial physician confirmed that the Emperor's condition was beyond recovery, everyone gathered to meet him, risking disrespect by requesting that he leave behind a Succession Edict.
While the ministers were busy considering which prince or Crown Prince to support, the Emperor unexpectedly produced a pre-prepared edict.
It stated that the throne would be passed to the Imperial Noble Consort and that once her child reached adulthood, she would relinquish it back to the throne. This left the ministers utterly astonished.
Yun Zhi Yue nearly laughed out loud; truly, the Emperor was a foolish ruler. He thought no one else would want the throne beneath him.
But the show must go on.
Yun Zhi Yue cried out dramatically, "Your Majesty! What merit do I have? You must recover quickly! I don’t want Your Majesty’s throne; Huang Er still needs his father’s love!"
The Emperor's sinister gaze slightly softened as he looked at Yun Zhi Yue, who was crying uncontrollably by his bedside. He fell silent for a moment.
It seemed he wanted to offer some comfort but realized he was about to die soon; all power would vanish into thin air. Suddenly losing interest in everything else, he overturned the medicine bowl before him and shouted, "Get out!"
The hot brown medicinal liquid nearly splashed into Yun Zhi Yue's collar as she stood before the Emperor on his Dragon Couch.
"Be careful, Your Highness." Luo Bai acted swiftly, activating Yun Zhi Yue, his gaze fixed on the glint of murderous intent flashing from the Dragon Couch.
It was only when Yun Zhi Yue struck his arm with force that he managed to suppress the killing aura within him. After all, if death was inevitable, why invite further calamity upon oneself?
The Ministers observed the Emperor's defiance and understood that there was no room for negotiation. However, it seemed excessive for the Imperial Noble Consort to be treated as the Emperor in such circumstances.
The problem lay in the fact that the Emperor was ill but not dead; he retained a clear mind and could still converse with the Ministers. In the era of Imperial Power, an edict was akin to divine decree, especially when it came to the Succession Edict.
Thus, with the Emperor still alive, the discussions surrounding the elevation of the Imperial Noble Consort to Empress became increasingly fervent. No matter how much dissent or reluctance there was, it could not be denied that the Imperial Noble Consort was indeed legitimate.
At this moment, anyone who dared to oppose this would be labeled as a traitor, regardless of their support.
