The Emperor Claims His Forced Empress

Chapter 1 The Splitting Headache

My head hurt like it was going to split open.

The ministers’ voices buzzed around me like they were reciting some endless congratulatory scroll.

“…appoint the Northern Border Crown Prince Xiao Heng as Empress, the wedding to be held…”

Wait!

Northern Border Crown Prince?

Xiao Heng?

I snapped my eyes open, sat up straight on the dragon throne, and barked:

“What nonsense are you all spouting!”

The hall fell deathly silent.
