Chapter 28

With the war behind them and the banquet. The rebuilding of the lotus pier at the hands of the new sect leader Jiang Wayin with the help of the Emperor and the Queen who did sent some guards to help him. The Emperor took up his crown and responsibilities that came with it. His days were busier as he had a lot of paperwork to oversee and sign. The Imperial Court had also resumed, which only brought numerous headaches to the Emperor because some of the elder council and some of the Ministers in his court were pestering the Emperor for an heir to the thrown.

"Your Highness, is it not time that your highness and the Empress start to think of siring an heir."

"Or is it true that the Empress can't get pregnant. If that's the case, don't your Highness not think that it would be a good idea to take a consort or consorts to ensure that the thrown has an heir."

"The Empress can't be that selfish as to not agree. We only think of the future of the bloodline of the Imperial Family, your highness surely your highness understand."

The Ministers would reason, and through it all, the first prince would glance at his brother and thanked the gods that his brother had such a tight lease on his pheromones, and his obvious anger with the way he is clutching the side of the chair. These people do not know his brother very well. Otherwise, they would have kept quiet.

"Your Highness, maybe we should ask the Empress about how he feels about this situation."

The emperor gritted his teeth and pulled his jaw into a tight grip before he took a few deep breaths in and out before he trusted himself enough to speak. Jiang Wayin was vibrating with anger, and he wasn't the only one. Jin Zixuan and Minster Nie were also holding themselves back with much restraint. Their hands balled into tight fists on their knees under the tables they were seated at.

"Fine, you want to hear from the Empress, then so be it."

The Emperor said with much difficulty as he glared at the Ministers and Elder Council. A few of them had a satisfied smile on their faces as some just shook their heads in disappointment at their insistence at a matter that had been fruitless over the last two years, but still they are relentless all for more power within the court and higher standings.

"Eunuch Yichen, would you be so kind as to send a guard to call the Empress, please?".

The Emperor requested his eunuch.

"Certainly your highness."

Eunuch Yichen bowed and quickly made his towards one of the guards standing to the side and whispered in his ear before the guard bowed and left the room. Eunuch Yichen returned back towards his previous position a few feet away from the Emperor. It's far enough but close enough to hear any order that might come from the Emperor.

"I do hope that all of you who are so adamant that I take a concubine or more are prepared for what will come."

The Emperor warned them, and those minsters and elders felt a shiver running down their spines as confusion set in amongst them at the Emperor's words.

"Minster Jiang, how has the rebuilding been going?. I do hope that you are not having any problems. If so, let me know."

The Emperor turned his attention towards the young sect leader, who immediately stood up and bowed before he spoke.

"I thank the Emperor for your highness generosity in helping this one with the rebuild of lotus pier. Everything is going well, and rebuilding will be finished in the next two months."

Jiang Wayin said.

"I am glad to hear such good news. You may take your seat, Minster Jiang."

The Emperor dismissed the young minister who bowed one more time before taking his seat once again but not before glaring at the offending ministers and elders.
