When the Emperor's decree resonated throughout the land, Yun Zhi Yue couldn't wait to take action, especially since her belly was already starting to show, concealed only by her padded clothing. The Empress and she left one after the other, and the national mourning was relentless.
However, a nation cannot be without a ruler for even a day. Dressed in plain garments, Yun Zhi Yue ultimately ascended to the Dragon Throne. Unfortunately, on the day of her coronation, Feng Yu added to her troubles; although he dared not enter the capital, he still exposed her false pregnancy.
Faced with the ministers' accusations, Yun Zhi Yue remained unfazed. She cleverly deceived everyone and immediately declared that since the late Emperor had no heirs, she would not disrupt the Da Feng royal lineage. She directly announced that Kang Wangzi Feng Die would be crowned as the Crown Prince.
Feng Die naturally did not refuse this good fortune, and Kang Wang was swiftly pulled into Yun Zhi Yue's plans. While there were still extremely dissatisfied ministers, they were ruthlessly silenced by those from Si Li Jian. White silk draped throughout the palace, stained with ominous crimson.
Chong Zi stood before Yun Zhi Yue, blocking all dangers and bloodshed. Under the ministers' threats, no one dared to speak out anymore. Since the Empress's passing, the Chancellor had fallen gravely ill, his spirit waning; this faction had lost its backbone and could not compare to its former strength.
Before Si Li Jian took control of the situation, he wielded immense power in court. Although he was later captured and chaos ensued within Si Li Jian, he managed to escape Zhao Prison unscathed, and everything returned to calm.
In terms of military power, Yun Zhi Yue was recognized as the legitimate successor to the throne. The Imperial Guards and Royal Shadow Guards acknowledged her status, supported by Kang Wang; she was thus fearless both internally and externally.
With the ministers subdued, whether or not she could maintain her grip on the Throne was uncertain, but it was undeniable that this woman had taken her place upon it!
Wen Ningmo stood behind Crown Prince Feng Die, his expression complex. He whispered, "This woman is truly formidable. Having reached this point, do you think she will make a move?"
Feng Die had already come this far; if he were eager to ascend to power now, future conflicts might arise between Kang Wang Fu and Si Li Jian. Both Luo Bai and Feng Die were his friends; he did not wish to see such a scenario unfold.
Feng Die looked at the couple at the head of the hall who seemed well-matched and smiled knowingly. "Do you believe that before someone acts on their desires, there will be others who can't hold back?"
Wen Ningmo was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Feng Die replied meaningfully, "Possessiveness is a terrifying thing."
Due to the national mourning period, whether it was Yun Zhi Yue's ascension or Feng Die's crowning as Crown Prince was remarkably simple; once the ceremonies were completed, there were no extravagant preparations required.
It is worth mentioning that after Yun Zhi Yue took power, any women in the harem who wished to return to their families were allowed to do so. For those who chose to stay behind, she kindly arranged for them to reside in a palace of their own.
The high-ranking consorts, including Liang Fei, were all granted the title of Tai Fei and entered a state of retirement.
In Xing Palace, the noble consort remained as she always had, trapped within the confines of the palace for a lifetime, unless the Yan Kingdom requested her return, which was clearly impossible.
Yun Zhi Yue had completely risen to prominence; her attire had become a specially tailored women's Dragon Robe from the Internal Affairs Bureau. Although she disliked the yellow color, it was undeniably comfortable to wear.
Every day in court felt like a struggle to stay awake. As ministers presented their reports, Luo Bai would whisper messages to her from beside the dragon throne, and she would repeat them word for word, unable to process anything beyond that.
When it came to tedious tasks that required resolution, she would simply wave her hand and pass them on to the newly appointed crown prince. If he was capable and eager to work, why should she, as an emperor, bear the burden?
