Chapter 775 The Princess's Marriage (Part 19) (The End)
“His Majesty is getting old, and the ministers of all departments have been won over by the princes. Only Minister Sun has remained neutral in his position,” Yunshang said.
If he continues to refuse to take sides and occupies such an important position as prime minister, hindering others, then all the princes will want to get rid of him.
"Unfortunately, few of my imperial brothers are of any use."
"There are many princes under his command, but their talents are all somewhat mediocre. Your Majesty is the best choice, and it is also a good opportunity to eliminate those incompetent officials in the court and keep some useful ones."
Xue Chanyi nodded in agreement: "From now on, you and Prime Minister Sun will serve as the left and right prime ministers respectively. Placing you in this position is not only to make things easier for me, but also to keep him in check."
"Okay, master."

Three days later, a rebellion for power broke out in the imperial city of Snow Moon Kingdom.
Xue Chanyi didn't even show her face, yet she already won over everyone.
Surrounded by people in the Taiqing Palace, Xue Rui looked at Li Shi, who was leading the group, with a gloomy and dejected expression in her eyes: "I never expected that you would betray me."
"Your Majesty, why say such things? You have long been wary and dissatisfied with the Li family. If I do not make a choice, I am afraid that the Li family will soon cease to exist."
Li Shi didn't want things to turn out this way, but he couldn't watch the Li family perish.
Upon hearing this, Xue Rui changed the subject: "Which of my sons are you working for? Why doesn't he dare to come and see me?"
He had no idea that there was such a hidden traitor among his offspring.
He was well aware that the princes had formed cliques and fought fiercely behind the scenes over the years.
I just feel that no matter how much I fight, I can't escape my own control, so it doesn't matter.
Upon hearing this, Li Shi looked at him with pity, for even at this point, he still didn't know who had done it.
"Li Shi, why don't you speak? Is it because that rebellious son dares not see me?" Xue Rui said angrily.
Li Shi didn't speak; he didn't know what the other person was thinking.
Seeing that he remained silent, Xue Rui began to curse him, her face contorted in a grotesque manner, making it impossible to believe that she had once been the ruler of a nation.
"Father, do you really want to see me that much? Won't you be even angrier if you see me?"
Xue Chanyi led her entourage from outside, smiling as she entered the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Li Shi led the way by kneeling, followed by a chorus of kneeling people.
"Flat body."
A clever eunuch went to fetch her a chair, and Xue Chanyi sat down.
Xue Rui was genuinely shocked: "How could it be you? Weren't you in Lingjiang Kingdom?"
"Is Father Emperor disappointed to see it's me?"
"You rebellious daughter, you are utterly disloyal! You actually betrayed Xueyue Kingdom for Shangguan Xi."
Xue Rui is now only thinking that Xue Chanyi married the emperor of Lingjiang Kingdom, so she is helping him steal the country.
He never imagined that his daughter would have the ability to rebel against him.
"Hehehe, Father, you really underestimate people. You heard it with your own ears and you still don't believe it."
What do you mean?
"Is there any need to explain what I mean? Even if Father Emperor looks down on women, he doesn't need to keep pretending to be stupid."
“You are simply heretical. A woman wanting to be the empress? Dream on! The ministers will never agree to it.”
"I've already assumed the position, so there's no need for Father Emperor to worry about what happens afterward. Li Shi, take him away and lock him up for now." Xue Chanyi was too lazy to continue talking to him.
First, imprison the person, and then let him die quietly from illness.
"Your subordinate obeys." Li Shi pressed Xue Rui down.
Yunshang then entered with her entourage, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"stand up."
"Your Majesty, all of the late Emperor's more than ten princes have been captured."
"Alright, anyone who resists will be imprisoned immediately, while those who know what's good for them will be kept in the mansion for now."
"Yes."

When Xue Chanyi held her coronation ceremony, Shangguan Xi personally led a group of people to celebrate.
The two hadn't seen each other for over a month, and they returned to her bedroom together that night.
"Congratulations. Should I now address you as Your Majesty?" Shangguan Xi said with a smile.
Xue Chanyi said teasingly, "You can also call me Your Majesty, Empress, or anything like that."
"Then I'll still call you Chanyi. There's no need for such formality between husband and wife."
"You've already said it, how can I argue back?"
Shangguan Xi chuckled: "What are your plans afterward? I can help you take down the other two countries."
"Yes, it would be faster to fight a war with troops from both countries, but I have other strategies that can lead to a quick victory."
"Appreciate further details."
"I won't tell you yet, you'll find out later." Xue Chanyi pulled her towards the bed.
Shangguan Xi's smiling gaze remained fixed on her: "My ambitions seem to have no effect on you."
"What's the difference between yours and mine? Do you think you can put me above you?"
"If I hadn't met you, I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be subordinate to someone else."
The moment he conceded defeat during their first encounter, he knew he couldn't win against her.
"A spring night is fleeting and worth a thousand pieces of gold, so don't think too much about it." Xue Chanyi reached out and untied his belt, pushing him onto the bed.
Shangguan Xi was pushed down onto the bed by her, and he felt a sense of reunion after a short separation, so he reached out and hugged her.
The flowers on the temples of the cloud are shaking, and the hibiscus is warming the spring night.

Less than two months after Xue Chanyi ascended the throne, she began to undermine the internal affairs of the Southern Mirror Kingdom and the Western Lan Kingdom, and eventually successfully conquered both countries, incorporating them into the Snow Moon Kingdom.
She didn't propose merging with Lingjiang Kingdom, but Shangguan Xi still moved the capital, which was equivalent to merging it into Xueyue Kingdom's territory.
The two became the most honored couple in the world, leading their two countries to prosperity and occasionally traveling the world together.
Back in the system space, Zhong Ning lazily said, "Xiao Qi, settle the account for me."
Xiao Qi nodded: "Okay, host."

Zhong Ning: "With my current cultivation level, I don't know how long it will take before I can move again."
It seems that the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to advance further; it's not just a matter of time, but also requires a specific opportunity.
“Host, you will have to experience a few more worlds. You can’t rush this,” Xiao Qi said.
"Well, let's go."
