"Nala, you have slandered me in every possible way, just because you don't want me to inherit the throne. However, I have no idea about Jingxinxiang."
Nala sneered and said: "Of course you won't admit it, but every word Ai Jia said is absolutely true, without a trace of falsehood."
Yunli said from the side: "There is no point in worrying about the truth or falsehood of this matter. The emperor's edict is here, and the throne should be inherited by the fourth elder brother."
"The Ai family disagrees!" Mrs. Liu screamed: "The fourth elder brother is the emperor's heir like Hongluo. Since the fourth elder brother has bad moral character, Hongluo's succession is a matter of course, and he has already gone through the enthronement ceremony.
How can I allow you to change it as soon as you say it? Prince Guo, the emperor asked you to be the prisoner on your behalf.
country, but you are always just a prince, and you have no final say in deposing the emperor. As for the edict... hmm, who knows whether it is true or false, there are many people in the world who are good at copying, maybe you are the one who forged the emperor.
's handwriting, and then someone changed it!"
"Absurd!" Yunli said with a cold face: "The imperial edict has always been placed behind the upright and bright plaque, and no one has touched it at all. How can I steal the throne and change it?"
Mrs. Liu said sharply: "You are the prisoner of the country. You can come and go from the palace and the inner garden. There is nothing you can't do. Prince Guo, you can cover the sky with one hand, so majestic!"
Hongli said coldly: "Bold, Seventeenth Uncle has dedicated his whole life for the Qing Dynasty, how can I allow you to slander me like this!"
Mrs. Liu took a step forward and said sternly: "You are so bold. The Ai family is the Queen Mother and your elder. You actually talk to the Ai family like this. You still have a sense of superiority and inferiority in your eyes."
Nala also said from the side: "Prince Guo has indeed made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, but he also indirectly killed countless people of the Qing Dynasty. How can this account be settled?"
At the same time, Hongshi took the opportunity to say to the soldiers surrounding the Yangxin Hall: "Everyone, Prince Guo, Si Age and others want to force the palace to seize the throne. This is the crime of killing the nine clans. You must not help the tyrants to do evil. Stop now.
Retreat before it's too late. Your Majesty and I can pretend that nothing has happened. Otherwise, you will not only harm your own life, but also your loved ones."
Yunli raised the edict of passing the throne with both hands and said in a cold voice: "Here is the edict. We are the guardians of King Qin. You are the one who really forced the palace to seize the throne!"
Hongshi snorted coldly, turned to Hongluo, who had been sitting silently in the dragon chair and said: "Your Majesty, please order them to retreat immediately!"
"I..." Hongrong didn't want to fight for the position of emperor at all, but the Guarjia clan was still in the hands of Nala clan and others, so he really didn't dare to act rashly.
Nala saw the hesitation in Hongrong's heart and winked at Liu. The latter nodded slightly, walked to Hongrong and said softly: "Emperor, please quickly order these rebellious officials and traitors to retreat!"
Hongrong met her gaze and plucked up the courage to say softly: "Mother, I once indeed said that if the fourth and fifth brothers come back, I will give up the throne to them, and all the civil and military officials have heard this.
How can I be a person who doesn't keep his word? If this is the case, even if I continue to be emperor, it will be difficult to convince the public!"
Mrs. Liu didn't expect Hongrong to say such words. Her face turned pale with anger and she leaned into his ear and said, "If you want Concubine Jin to die, just say so. The Ai family will never stop you!"
Hongrong bit her lip hard and said angrily: "Mother, how could you do this?!"
"No matter what Aijia says, you should do what Aijia says. You don't care about being the emperor, but Aijia must be the queen mother. If you block Aijia's way, Aijia will make you regret it for the rest of your life!" At this moment,
In Mr. Liu's heart, there is no affection between mother and son, only power and position.
Hongrong closed her eyes in pain, and even the last hope in her heart was gone. This woman... gave birth to herself just for herself.
Hongrong stood up, faced the hundreds of eyes below, and said stiffly: "I use the metaphor of the emperor to order you to retreat quickly, otherwise you will be considered as forcing the palace to rebel!"
Although the soldiers came here under the orders of Yunli and Hongli, they still felt a sense of fear when facing Hongluo, who was wearing a dragon robe and standing high on the steps. After all, he represented the supreme imperial power.
, the pace flinched for a moment, but it didn't really retreat.
Yunli frowned slightly, called Acheng who was also standing outside the palace, and whispered: "Didn't I order someone to go to Kunning Palace to bring Concubine Jin? Why haven't you seen her yet?"
"Subordinate, let's go take a look!" After Acheng left, A Heng, who was supposed to be guarding outside the palace, hurried in with a look of surprise on his face. When he whispered softly in Yunli's ear,
After saying that, the latter was shocked, held his hands tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "What did you say, say it again?"
After Ah Heng repeated it in his ear, Yunli was stunned for a long time, then suddenly he threw up his head and laughed, with indescribable joy in his laughter.
Nala and Hongshi frowned in unison, secretly guessing what exactly A Heng said to Yunli that made him laugh like this.
After an unknown period of time, Yunli suppressed his laughter and said to Hongli and the others: "Fourth elder brother and fifth elder brother, follow me to the Meridian Gate immediately."
Hongli and Hongzhou looked at each other and said in confusion: "Uncle Seventeen, what are you doing at the Meridian Gate?"
"Don't ask too much, just follow me out." Hearing what Yunli said, Hong Zhou said in a dilemma: "But Seventeenth Uncle, the matter here has not been resolved yet, how can we leave."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen when we come back. Let's go." From now on, Yunli has been looking very excited.
Seeing his persistence, Hongli and the others had no choice but to comply. After telling the soldiers to keep a close eye on the Yangxin Hall and not allowing Hongshi and others to leave, they followed him to the Meridian Gate.
Mrs. Liu came to Nala and said softly: "Sister, what do you mean by Prince Guo leaving at this time?"
Nala said angrily: "If the Ai family knew, there would be no need to worry about it here." After that, she rubbed her forehead and said to the silent Hongshi, "Have you thought of anything?"
Hongshi shook his head and said: "My son has no clue, but the emperor's mother can rest assured that as long as Yinzhen doesn't come back, everything today will still be ours. Those soldiers have been persuaded by us before, so they may not dare to take action."
As for Yunli, he kept urging Aheng to push the cart faster along the way. In fact, Aheng's push cart was so fast that Hongli and the others had to run in small steps to catch up.
Hong Zhou couldn't help but said: "Uncle Seventeen, why are you going to Meridian Gate and you are in such a hurry."
"Don't ask, you'll find out when you get to the Meridian Gate." Yunli didn't notice that when he said this, his whole body was trembling.
