Chapter 101 The Prime Minister is actually a woman, and His Majesty the Emperor drools over her.
"Master, please don't get agitated. Although this matter is indeed somewhat unbelievable, it is the truth."
Back then, after your mother, Madam Mu, gave birth to you, the doctor told her that she could no longer have children.
Your father, Minister Mu, always wanted to have a son to carry on the family line, but he was deeply in love with your mother and resolutely refused to take a concubine.
So the two of them racked their brains and came up with a compromise—they simply lied to the outside world and said that they had given birth to a boy.
So from a young age you were forced to disguise yourself as a boy and come into this world as the eldest son of the Mu family.
Hearing this, Mu Wanwan was on the verge of tears. How could there be such unreliable parents in the world who deliberately harm their own children?
"What is even more frustrating is that the elderly emperor only has one child, Mu Chenfeng, and he doesn't even have a brother or sister to play with, learn and grow together with.
They suggested sending other people's children to serve as study companions, but the high and mighty emperor harbored doubts about them and found it difficult to trust them.
After much deliberation, the old emperor finally turned his attention to your father, his longtime close friend.
After his repeated pleas, you, at the tender age of three, were sent to the heavily guarded palace to begin reciting poems and studying literature with Mu Chenfeng, naturally becoming his study companion.
When Mu Chenfeng successfully ascended the throne, he didn't hesitate to issue an edict appointing you as the Prime Minister, second only to the Emperor.
Mu Wanwan was instantly stunned, completely dumbfounded.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself: How could her father, a high-ranking official, not know that this was a serious crime of disrespect and deceiving the emperor?
But now that things have come to this, how are we supposed to clean up this mess?
If the emperor were to discover that she was actually a woman, the consequences would be unimaginable. This would undoubtedly be a heinous crime that would lead to the extermination of nine generations of her family!
The entire family would be implicated, suffering a tragic fate of being executed along with everyone, leaving no one alive. Even relatives and friends would not be spared, and could very well be exterminated along with their entire extended family.
"According to the original world's setting, you were originally a person of upright character. When faced with the emperor's unreasonable decisions, she always stood up without fear and resolutely opposed them."
Her outspoken and frank remonstrances gradually aroused the emperor's resentment and disgust.
Finally, one day, the emperor, enraged, issued an edict exiling her to the remote and desolate Lingnan region.
You poor thing embarked on this arduous and perilous road of exile, but ultimately could not escape your tragic fate and died far from home.
In such a terrifying era where one could easily lose their head or be subjected to cruel punishments such as being torn apart by five horses, every step was taken with extreme caution.
Mu Wanwan lived in constant fear, terrified that she would die before she even reached her place of exile—Lingnan—and be strangled to death by the capricious emperor!
Piggy comforted Mu Wanwan, "Master, with your beauty and intelligence, winning over Mu Chenfeng shouldn't be difficult. Mu Chenfeng's favorability towards you is currently 20! Master, please begin your mission, good luck, Master!"
Affection level 20! Seems like a good start!
"My mission is to make the emperor fall in love with me, and then have a child with me, albeit in a stumbling fashion."
"Yes, Master! But before that, be careful of your personal safety, save your life first!" After saying that, the pig disappeared.
Mu Wanwan's feet were already off the ground. She reached out and pressed down on Mu Chenfeng's shoulders. The ministers in the hall immediately knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Mu Wanwan's fair cheeks had turned as red as ripe apples, and her beautiful eyes were instantly veiled with a thin layer of mist, like the morning mist on a lake, hazy and dreamlike.
Her slightly parted cherry-like mouth was panting rapidly, like a frightened fawn.
"Your Majesty...please calm down!"
With a trembling voice, Mu Wanwan followed the ministers and shouted out those four words intermittently.
The emperor's sharp gaze fell directly on her glistening tears, which rolled down her cheeks and landed on the back of his hand, burning him. He was startled, and when he saw that her eyes were full of tears, he released his grip on her neck in an instant.
Freed from her predicament, Mu Wanwan collapsed to the ground, like a fish that had been deprived of oxygen for a long time suddenly returning to the water, greedily inhaling the precious oxygen.
Although her body was given a moment of freedom, her heart was still shrouded in fear and unease.
"Prime Minister Mu, I have already made up my mind about expanding the number of Mulan members to participate in the hunting expedition."
If you dare to disobey my will again and go against my wishes, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship!
The emperor's words resounded throughout the court, and the ministers all knelt down, performing the most devout kowtow.
Faced with the emperor's supreme majesty, no one dared to step forward and help the disheveled Prime Minister Mu, who had fallen to the ground.
"Guards! Take Prime Minister Mu away immediately and confine him to his quarters for three days. During this time, he is not allowed to step out of his room even once!" Mu Chenfeng's voice was powerful and resonant, filled with irresistible authority.
With a wave of his hand, two guards carrying long swords quickly stepped forward and helped Mu Wanwan up, one on each side.
She enjoyed high prestige in the court, and the guards did not dare to be truly violent towards her, but instead respectfully gestured for her to enter.
"Prime Minister Mu, please!"
Panting, Mu Wanwan extended her index finger and gently tapped the tip of her pert nose. Then, lowering her voice slightly, she asked with a puzzled expression, "Me?"
Upon seeing this, the guard standing to her left quickly took a small step back, then clasped his hands tightly in front of his chest and bowed respectfully in a standard bowing posture, while whispering, "Prime Minister Mu, please don't make things difficult for us! Please!"
Piggy hasn't forgotten to transmit her previous memories to Mu Wanwan.
Since he could remember, Mu Chenfeng had been named the crown prince and his journey to the throne was smooth sailing. He had never experienced the cruel and fierce struggle for succession among the nine princes, or the heartbreaking fratricide that had plagued emperors throughout history.
The annual ranch hunting event was attended by high-ranking and renowned civil and military officials who accompanied the emperor.
This year, however, His Majesty the Emperor listened to the Grand Commandant's advice and further expanded the scale of the hunt. He not only required all civil and military officials to actively recommend some highly skilled and extraordinary individuals to participate, but also personally ordered the invitation of many top masters from the martial arts world to join this grand event.
Mu Wanwan opposed the idea because she suspected that Grand Commandant Zhao Yihan, who was in charge of military affairs, had ulterior motives.
