Almost everyone's eyes are on Chen Changshi. He is the emperor's attendant. He has been riding for Long Qianyue for twenty-one years and has taken care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Among the people Long Qianyue trusts the most,
Chen Changshi is one of them.
Prime Minister Zhou frowned, and a sharp light flashed across his calm eyes. Something was wrong! She was sensitive to the tight smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
The appearance of this imperial edict was too strange. Long Qianyue's illness sometimes attacks very suddenly. She once said during her lifetime that Liusu would be crowned prince. After her death, Liusu would be able to succeed to the throne. When the time comes, Liusu would issue an edict of enthronement.
However, keeping the imperial edict of passing the throne may lead to many troubles. If it is tampered with, the gains outweigh the losses. Her words are still vivid in my ears. Now that the emperor's bones are still cold, the imperial edict suddenly appears and teaches people how to believe it."
"Master Chen, His Highness the Crown Prince has asked you to read it out, so what are you waiting for? All ministers must obey the Emperor's will!" Long Xueli smiled unhurriedly. It was the smile of a winner and a confident man.
Chen Changshi wiped his forehead, wiped away the cold sweat, managed to calm down, and read out: "By the fate of heaven, the emperor has issued an edict: Princess Fenglai has good character and will be able to inherit the throne and succeed me as emperor. Li Wanglong
Xue Li serves as the regent and acts as the agent of the government until Princess Fenglai gets married and takes charge of the government. I appreciate this!"
There was an uproar all around, and then fell into unspeakable silence. Liusu's eyes widened in disbelief, Nanjin raised his eyebrows slightly, but Xiaobai, who was kneeling, opened his mouth in surprise, as if he had heard some fantasy.
All eyes were focused on Xiaobai, and Prime Minister Zhou's expression changed, "Chen Changshi, who drafted this edict?"
A gust of wind blew in from the palace door, and Chen Changshi suddenly felt a cold feeling on his forehead. He said in a trembling voice: "It's the emperor's handwriting!"
Liusu reached out and took the imperial edict, and Prime Minister Zhou also stood up and went over. The two looked at each other. It was indeed the emperor's handwriting. It had been stamped with the jade seal, and it was absolutely true that the edict passed on the throne.
There must be something wrong in this!
Liusu and Prime Minister Zhou looked at Long Xueli almost at the same time, and Long Xueli sneered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister won't think that this king has done anything, right? The palace has always been on guard, and every time I see the emperor, Long Qingfeng always guards me.
Even if you want to do anything, you are powerless!"
"The emperor said that he would not leave any edict to pass the throne. After her death, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne. You have heard this with your own ears. Now, suddenly there is a pass to pass the throne to Princess Fenglai, asking you to assist the government.
How can I be convinced by the imperial edict?" Prime Minister Zhou said calmly.
"None of us can guess the emperor's thoughts accurately. It is known to everyone that she is very fond of Princess Fenglai. It is common for orders to be changed from day to day, not to mention such an important matter as choosing an heir. If Zhou Xiang doubts the authenticity of the imperial edict, it is possible
Investigate the truth, if I want to do something, why not let me take the throne instead?"
"Choosing an heir is a prudent matter. How could the emperor let the young Princess Fenglai succeed to the throne if he was so wise? This imperial edict was not the emperor's original intention at all. Even if she really wanted Princess Fenglai to succeed to the throne and assist the government.
It should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not you, the Prince?" Prime Minister Zhou's words are exquisite and his vision is sharp.
Long Xueli was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. She glanced at Liusu and Nanjin and smiled slightly, "Of course the emperor has his own motives for not passing the throne to Princess Duolan. Who in the world doesn't know the grudges between Princess Duolan, Feng Nanjin and Prince Xiao?
Love and hatred? Both of them are powerful ministers of Shengtian. With their inextricable relationship, Prime Minister Zhou is sure that the emperor has not worried about it? Prince Xiao is the prince of Shengtian, and Feng Nanjin is the one who controls the economic lifeline of Shengtian.
, If nothing happens, forget it. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous. Mr. Zhou, don’t you think so?"
Long Xueli hit Liusu's critical point. Liusu's pretty face was slightly angry, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Prince Li, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that I colluded with foreign enemies to embezzle my daughter's country?"
Long Qianyue's corpse was still cold, and the imperial edict was revealed again. Liusu had long been tired of the sharp smell of gunpowder smoke, but he had to deal with it wholeheartedly. Seeing Long Xueli pointing the finger at her, the displeasure in his heart rose to the extreme.
"Princess, please calm down. I have no intention of slandering the love between the two of you. However, the princess has also been involved in government affairs for many days. She is no longer a frog in the well who has never seen the light of day. With your intelligence, can you not tell the meaning of my words? One thing?"
To put it into perspective, do you dare to say that all the officials of the Daughter Kingdom do not have this suspense in their hearts? Unless you dare to guarantee that the seat next to you will not be these two, but choose one from the Daughter King Sun Guizhou." Long Xueli.
Smiled.
Nan Jin's face sank, and a cold light flashed across his face.
"That's enough!" Xiaobai stood up with a squeak, her little face as stiff as a stone, and her childish voice had a majesty that didn't belong to her age.
"Xiaobai..." Liusu looked at his daughter.
The little white girl with a face full of pink makeup looked at Long Xueli and said: "Since the emperor has decreed that I will succeed to the throne, from today on, I will be the queen of the daughter country, and you don't have to fight!"
"Little princess..." Zhou Xiang shouted hurriedly, but Xiaobai was indifferent.
Long Xueli reminded her kindly: "Prime Minister Zhou, is it time for you to call me something?"
Liusu's heart was extremely complicated. What happened was sudden and completely unexpected. She wanted Xiaobai to succeed, but she wanted to defeat Long Xueli and both houses and hand over a prosperous daughter country to Xiaobai.
Instead of being completely controlled by Long Xueli like now.
Once Long Xueli becomes the regent, she will definitely evade the imperial power, and it will be even more difficult to uproot her. Her eyes moved to Long Qianyue, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and she had mixed feelings.
Auntie, you passed away so peacefully, what should I do?
Prime Minister Zhou also looked at Liusu, as if he was asking her what to do. The origin of this imperial edict was unknown, and it was obviously a fraud. But the little princess had already spoken out her words, and it was a done deal. It didn't matter whether they agreed or disagreed. It was really a compliment.
Long Xueli's heart.
Nan Jin stood aside expressionlessly, not saying a word from beginning to end, as if he was just a bystander, watching them compete indifferently.
"What? Do you all want to resist the decree?" Long Xuelia said with a smile, "The Emperor Daxing's body is still cold, so you don't take her decree seriously, and your ordinary filial piety and sincerity are all just fake?"
After she finished speaking, she took the lead in saluting Xiaobai, "Long live my emperor!"
Xiaobai's eyes were arrogant, she looked down at him coldly, snorted slightly, her eyes drifted towards Nan Jin as if nothing had happened, Nan Jin nodded, she seemed to have more courage, and her posture was higher!
Everyone in the room except Zhou Xiang, Liusu and Nanjin all knelt down. Following the general trend, Liusu asked Nanjin with his eyes. Nanjin nodded slightly, indicating that she should follow Xiaobai's wishes.
Liusu gritted his teeth and knelt down with Prime Minister Zhou, "Long live my emperor!"
