In the main hall, the ministers with different thoughts were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Highness, please calm down."
Although His Majesty has not abdicated the throne yet, His Highness the Crown Prince has the final say on all major government affairs.
They also followed the ancestral system and mentioned the matter of letting His Highness the Crown Prince establish a concubine, but they did not expect the consequences to be so serious.
Even if their daughter cannot be sent to serve His Royal Highness, she cannot be sent to a nunnery and her life will be ruined.
Yuan Chen said in a cold voice: "Gu will tell you one last time, except for Gu's crown princess, there will never be another woman by Gu's side in this life.
If someone doesn’t care about life and death and insists on getting close to Gu, then don’t blame Gu for being ruthless."
Everyone lowered their heads and felt uneasy, but no one dared to speak out again.
Yuan Chen said again: "I heard that Baiyun Nunnery outside the city is very popular, so I would wrong Mr. Chen's daughter and go to the nunnery to stay for a few months.
The scenery there is superb, and it’s the most suitable place for self-cultivation.”
When Mr. Chen heard this, his legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground, scared out of his wits.
Yuan Chen waved his sleeves: "Retreat from the court."
The civil and military officials dispersed, and the frightened Master Chen was also carried down.
Emperor Beichen stepped down from the dragon chair and said, "You are quite kind."
He thought his son would directly remove Chen Yan from his official position.
Yuan Chen said: "Chen Yan is usually cautious and has never made any mistakes. If he is dismissed from his official position because of his advice, he will definitely be criticized by the people.
Furthermore, one look at Chen Yan and it seems that he has been plotted and made to stand out.
Of course, he deserves it. He has some thoughts that he shouldn't have, so I'll just punish him with a small punishment but teach him a long lesson."
Emperor Beichen said: "I will naturally rest assured when you do things, and I should give them a good beating.
My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and they can't wait to get her around. Isn't this causing trouble for Jialan?"
As he said that, he glanced at Yuan Chen and warned: "Although you have shocked the courtiers, if they don't succeed on the road, they will try to take a wrong path and plot against you.
Therefore, you have to be more vigilant and be careful. If you do something stupid to apologize to Jialan and hurt her heart, I will not forgive you."
Yuan Chen bowed and said: "Father, don't worry, I will be careful."
Emperor Beichen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "I'm waiting to hold my grandson."
Yuan Chen coughed lightly and said, "Father, I have something to discuss with you. I promised Jialan's brother that when the child is born, he will have his mother's surname. What do you think?"
"What?"
Emperor Beichen was startled. He said: "In the previous life, my grandson's surname was Xiao. Now that the situation has changed, why does he still have the surname Xiao? Aren't you trying to ruin the incense of our Yuan family?"
Yuan Chen comforted him and said: "Father, it's just a surname. Even if his surname is Xiao, he is still the son of Erchen and your grandson.
Furthermore..."
He glanced at Emperor Beichen and said: "Your grandson's surname is Xiao, and the future of Nanyue will also be his.
Don’t you want your grandson to rule the world and leave your name in history?”
Emperor Beichen's eyes flickered, and he asked suspiciously: "You didn't lie to me? Jialan's brother is really willing to give the country to your son. Doesn't he have a son himself?"
Xiao Chongjun already had a son. This happened a few months ago, and everyone in the world knew about it.
