The ministers each exhibited a look of doubt, questioning their lives and themselves.
In the end, they all fixed their gaze on Lu Tingli unanimously.
They must have been hallucinating!
It must be so!
However, Lu Tingli shattered their meager fantasy: "I, want Xia Ningxing as my only Empress."
He repeated it firmly and resoundingly, leaving no room for anyone to argue.
"Court dismissed."
With that, Lu Tingli left with poise, leaving the ministers with faces of astonishment.
The hall fell into utter silence, and it took a long while for everyone to come to their senses—
"Absurd! This is absurd!"
"How could a sovereign of a nation cling only to one woman!"
"It's utterly preposterous!"
The ministers slapped their thighs and stomped their feet in frustration.
If things were to go on like this, what would become of their daughters!
The harem and the court are inseparable; who doesn't know the power of influence from one's pillow talk!
But now, it's all over!
