Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Panda Novel

After about an hour, the gold giant dragon emerged from the layers of cloud. It dove down and quickly landed on the ground.

The golden dragon instantly transformed into Han Moze.

Han Moze clutched his chest in pain and coughed a few times before he could force his breathing to calm down.

Although he felt his strength had significantly increased, at his current level, he was only able to forcibly withstand the thunder.

Han Moze limped towards the palace halls with a rather serious look on his face and the same determined gaze.

No matter how tough it’s going to be, I will defeat that blonde man!

For you, Shuang’er, I can endure anything!

Han Moze returned to the palace and walked over to the side of the hot spring. He took a deep breath and removed one item of clothing at a time. His tall and muscular body was exposed. The perfect curvatures of his muscles unleashed his extremely alluring sex appeal.

Han Moze slowly walked into the hot spring and leaned his head back against the sides. Instantly, the water froze to ice and he fell asleep shortly after.

The next morning, the first rays of light pierced through the clouds and illuminated the room.

Several rays of soft light shone Han Moze’s sharp facial features and accentuated his handsome good looks.

Han Moze exhaled softly and gradually opened his deeply enigmatic eyes. He radiated a unique kind of charm.

He strode over to the bathroom and changed into a black outfit with golden embroidery.

After breakfast, he proceeded to morning court.

The grandiose palace hall was mostly covered in gold. Han Moze sat majestically on the throne with two eunuchs and two palace maids at his service. In the great hall, hundreds of officials bowed and stood respectfully.

Han Moze’s narrow eyes inadvertently swept across the several high-ranking officials in the hall and spoke with a commanding and magnetic voice. “All the high-ranking officials who visited the Cyan Rain Tavern disrespected the nation with their lust, a crime which cannot be pardoned. They will all be demoted to commoner’s status and will never be able to talk half a step into the capital. Their offspring will never be allowed to join the ranks!”

The several high-ranking officials, who were present at the morning court proceedings, immediately walked to the center of the hall and fell ashen-faced to their knees.

“Your Majesty, I’ve been wrongly accused!” Wailed the poor minister of justice on the floor.

“Your Majesty, please have mercy! Your Majesty!” Following the minister of justice’s cries, the other high-ranking officials also cried one after the other, in hopes Han Moze would be lenient.

Han Moze swept a harsh scowl at the several high-ranking officials in the center of the hall, then coldly and mercilessly gave his orders. “Men! Escort these people out!”

“Your Majesty! Please have mercy! Your Majesty, I’ve been wrongly accused!” cried the high-ranking officials endlessly. Soon enough, they were dragged out by the guards.

Han Moze looked over at the leftover civil and military officials in the great hall, then spoke in his commanding voice. “Gentlemen! Beloved subjects, what is there to report today?”

“Your Majesty, I have something to report!” said the left-hand minister Qiu Yingan, as he walked to the center of the hall and respectfully cupped his fist. The man was dressed in navy-blue attire and looked honest, smart, and elegant.

“Proceed!” Said Han Moze with a deep voice, as he squinted his handsome and narrow eyes.

Qiu Yingan’s clear and firm voice echoed in the great hall. “Your Majesty, according to my recent investigation, I have discovered that Nanli has gathered more and more troops south of our land. I’m afraid that they will start to attack us at any given day now. However… we do not have enough troops stationed in the south to resist the attack. I suggest that we deploy more troops to the south and protect our land!”

“Your Majesty, I reckon that would be inappropriate! If the two hundred thousand troops from the capital are transferred out, this will create an immense threat to the capital. I reckon that there’d be no harm done to deploy our troops in the north to the south!” Respectfully reported Sunzi Chu, the right-hand minister.
