Chapter 1205 - Something Serious Had Happened (2/2)

The Queen was in a wheelchair with a blanket over her legs. She held a blue and white porcelain cup in her bony hand and was taking sips from it.

She did not look at Mu Sihan when he arrived. Although she had crowned Mu Sihan as the King, she did not like him at all.

After Mu Sihan came in, he bowed to the Queen.

The Queen gestured for Mu Sihan to sit down and speak.

“King, I think you know why I called you over. Luan Hui has done his best for the country these few years and if you take back his power, it will only make the Southeast region turbulent and the people’s heart swayed. When the time comes, the people would say that you are afraid of Luan Hui’s superior position and intend to eliminate him.”

Mu Sihan pursed his lips slightly. “Is that what the people think or is it what the Luan family thinks?”

The Queen’s expression changed and threw the cup in her hand at Mu Sihan.

Mu Sihan did not dodge and the cup brushed past his forehead, breaking the skin.

“Do you think that the Royal family and S Country in its entirety are in your hands? Since you ascended the throne, you’ve only ignored my words more and more. You weakened the power in my hands and turned your ideas onto the Luan family. Ye Sihan, if you’re too ambitious, be careful it will backfire.”

Mu Sihan looked at the Queen, whose gaze was sharp and dignified. He laughed coldly. “Did the Queen let me ascend the throne because you wanted me to become the puppet of you and the Luan family? After all, there is no one suitable in the Royal family to be King. You don’t like me or the fifth one.”

The Queen looked at Mu Sihan, whose aura was powerful and cold. “If I can let you move up the ranks, I can also make you lose everything!”

Mu Sihan stood from the chair. “Well, let’s see about that!”

…

After Tiantian and Yuyu had fallen asleep, Nan Zhi returned to the master bedroom. She walked around the room, slightly worried.

It was only after she was married into the Royal family that she realized how conniving and scheming it was behind the scenes.

Even the Queen, who had stepped down, was ambitious and wanted to have power in her hands. Seeing Mu Sihan getting stronger and ignoring her orders, Nan Zhi did not know what the Queen and the Luan family would do.

Still, she felt it was strange that Luan Hui was pretending to be ill. Fortunately, it was not long before Mu Sihan came back. Nan Zhi went up to him hurriedly and held his hand. “Did the Queen make things difficult for you?”

“She has made it clear now that if I don’t want to be her puppet, she will make her move.”

Nan Zhi’s heart thumped and there was a bad premonition from her heart.

Seeing Nan Zhi’s worried expression, Mu Sihan pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. “Okay, don’t think too much about it. I’m not afraid of them doing anything, but I’m afraid of them not doing anything.”

Nan Zhi leaned against Mu Sihan’s chest and nodded. After taking a bath, Mu Sihan took Nan Zhi to bed.

In the middle of the night, there were urgent knocks on the door.

“Young Master, Young Master…” Although Mu Sihan had become the king, Yi Fan still called him ‘Young Master’ out of habit in private.

Mu Sihan and Nan Zhi opened their eyes at the same time.

Both of them had something troubling them, so they slept lightly. Mu Sihan could hear the urgency in Yi Fan’s voice and he put on his robe, striding towards the door.

Nan Zhi also sat up from the bed quickly, put on her robe and got off the bed.

As soon as the door opened, Yi Fan said, his expression not looking very good, “Young Master, something has happened.”

Mu Sihan’s heart quivered. “What happened?”
