At her call, the chief justice, who had been waiting, quickly stepped forward. Without looking at the chief justice, Latil asked, keeping her gaze fixed on Lean.
“My brother called me a black magician. Chief Justice, do I look like a black magician to you?”
As the eyes of the nobles gathered on the chief justice, he replied with a goodnatured smile.
“Of course not. Your Majesty couldn’t be a black magician. You’re so vibrant. You’re also wearing the talisman necklace I gave you, aren’t you?”
Carlein, who had been quietly standing next to Latil all along, added his comment.
“I’ve been observing the situation from the side and I can affirm this person is Her Majesty. I left the harem to protect Her Majesty.”
Hyacinth came up next to Latil with a big smile.
“Prince Lean. Fake Emperor. When Emperor Latrasil was sick and absent, you two placed a fake and took Emperor Latrasil’s position, right?”
The people murmured even more.
“But at that time, Emperor Latrasil was actually with me. It’s unfortunate for you all. Emperor Latrasil and I had discovered the traces of the black magician earlier than others and were discussing it secretly.”
Someone among the nobles shouted.
“How can we believe what a foreigner is saying? How can we believe that woman isn’t a spy working with your emperor!”
As soon as those words fell, Tasir stepped forward, looking around at the people with a smile.
“The Emperor and I have had many dates. The Emperor favored me the most among all the concubines, so I have many memories with her. If you wish, I can test the two emperors’ memories.”
As the fake emperor remained silent, the people were thrown into confusion. Latil watched this scene, then took a step forward and looked coldly around the assembly.
“Some of the people gathered here may have been deceived by the fake. Some might have known he was a fake, but still sided with him. Because my brother was with the fake. Because they wanted to support my brother.”
At her strong and icy words, the people quieted down.
“But now is the time when the threat of the black magicians is beginning. At this time, the fake….”
Latil pointed at the fake and Lean.
“…can’t be of any help. Those who don’t know the truth, examine the truth. Those who know the truth but have covered it up, choose here. Whether to taste the shortlived power and die at the hands of the black magicians.”
The people looked back and forth between Lean and the fake. Not at Latil and the fake, but at Lean and the fake.
She had nearly messed up on the first button, but it seemed that she had still managed to persuade the people. The strange thing was…
‘Why are they both standing still?’
They should be counterarguing on their part. Why aren’t they stepping forward? Both of them are good at speaking, so if they were to say something, wouldn’t they be able to buy more time?
However, at that moment.
“Mother, please stop!”
Leaning, who had been standing next to the false emperor, cried out with a sorrowful voice and then pulled the false emperor’s hair.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
