Chapter 1339: The Emperor is Pregnant 54
Suddenly, someone shouted angrily
"This husband is simply too presumptuous!
If this continues, our Tiansheng Country is doomed!!"
Then another voice joined in
"I heard from the little eunuch that last night, the husband stayed in the Imperial Garden with the Empress for a long time."
His words were filled with innuendo.
The officials, the more they heard, the more their faces reddened.
They became increasingly furious.
"Sooner or later, the foundation of our Tiansheng Country will be ruined in this man’s hands!"
"This won’t do, come what may, we must have the Empress dismiss the husband!!"
"This person is too cunning, he must not be allowed to stay in the palace and continue to endanger the Empress!"
As the discussion continued, Ning Guoxia suddenly spoke with a smile
"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me."
Ning Guoxia held considerable prestige among these officials.
As soon as he spoke, everyone quieted down.
Listening to his words.
He spoke with a smile
"Our Empress is only seventeen years old this year.
It’s normal for her to enjoy some fun.
Furthermore, the Empress is ultimately a woman.
A woman regards her husband as her heaven."
There was a wealth of implication in his words.
Someone spoke up
"Lord Ning, do you mean the Empress is very obedient to that husband?"
Someone began to frown
"Isn’t this a problem? The foundation of our Tiansheng Country could end up in someone else’s hands??"
Another person spoke up
"I heard that the husband always stays by the Empress’s side, even freely entering the Imperial Study Room and having access to state affairs."
"The harem should not interfere in politics! Isn’t this utter chaos??"
Finally, a General who usually preferred not to get involved in the matter spoke up.
His voice was coarse
"If it were anyone else, it might not matter, but the current Empress used to be the Regent King.
The Empress is only seventeen this year.
How could she handle the entire realm alone??
The husband is helping the Empress, what’s wrong with that?"
The General’s words were entirely in support of the husband.
Compared to submissiveness to the Empress, it was the fact that the Empress had married the Regent King that secured his allegiance.
His words ignited an outcry from most of the officials.
Complaints about breaking norms, disrupting the government, violating ancestral practices.
Ultimately, it boiled down to one thing.
This husband cannot stay.
Xia Guoning heard this, a gleam of satisfaction crossed his eyes.
Humph.
What Regent King.
What Empress.
How dare they treat him like that back then.
He was eager to see if this Empress dared defy the world?
As he was pondering.
A sharp eunuch’s voice suddenly rang out
"The husband has arrived!!"
The entire Qiankun Palace immediately fell silent.
Everyone turned their gaze towards the entrance of Qiankun Hall.
They saw a man.
In a magnificent robe adorned with a Jade Crown, his demeanor was lazy yet regal.
Step by step, he walked from the doorway to the Mutton Fat Jade steps, passing through the crowd.
He stood there.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A small portion of these officials recognized him.
Most did not know him.
The title of Regent King was known to many only by hearsay.
While for a certain few.
Those who once served alongside the husband, they never engaged in the topic of removing the husband.
And as Situ Xiu appeared, they remained silent, waiting for the husband to speak.
Chi Xing stood next to Situ Xiu.
Holding a sword, dressed in black.
Expressionless.
The Empress’s close lady-in-waiting Qing Wan also arrived.
