As Prince Xi gestured to his subordinates behind his back, a few civil officers knelt down with a bang and pressed their foreheads to the floor.
They chorused loudly, "May Your Majesty not neglect such rumours that are harmful to the dynasty and the monarch."
Su Li looked at all the officials who were playing in tune with Prince Xi and felt the oncoming of another headache.
She really didn't want to fight these petty fights for power with all these people.
Firstly, because she wasn't interested in their power plays.
Secondly, she was even more afraid that if her gender was ever disclosed to these people who rigorously followed the teaching of sages and prophets, she would be lynched in public and wouldn't even be left with an intact corpse.
So, she simply wanted to keep to herself, do the things required of her as the ruler of the dynasty and be done with it.
