Queen Yan scolded angrily and said to the young eunuch: "Don't I know whether Jingxuan is my son? Tell me, who instructed you to falsely accuse the prince?"
The little eunuch frowned and was not afraid of the Queen's stern look: "Everything I said is true."
The courtiers were a little embarrassed. His Majesty's death involved the identity of the crown prince, which was no small matter. I think when Yan Jing announced that he had recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, many of the courtiers had doubts in their minds, but no one dared to speak out.
Now the doubts in their hearts were expressed by this little eunuch.
Seeing the situation, Xuan Ying couldn't make a choice, so he said: "It concerns the position of the Crown Prince, since this eunuch insists that the Crown Prince is not your Majesty's biological son.
As a hidden guard who protects the dragon, you should consider the overall situation and establish a new crown prince. Unless His Highness the Crown Prince can prove his innocence, his subordinates will have no choice but to offend him."
Yan Jingxuan sneered: "I'm afraid this is your real goal, right? Who does Xuantong want to appoint?"
Xuan Ying said: "This matter needs to be discussed by all the officials. It can be decided by someone other than one of my subordinates. I wonder what your lords' opinions are?"
Many of the courtiers' eyes lit up, feeling that things had taken a turn for the better. Among them, there were those who supported Jing Wang and those who deposed the prince.
And since Yan Jingxuan became the prince, they all had their tails between their legs, but this prince was a different kind of person and it was difficult to please him.
In addition, there was no hope for the crown prince candidate, so they couldn't help but feel a little scared, but if someone else became the crown prince, they would have more opportunities for glory and wealth.
Therefore, someone agreed to Xuan Ying's suggestion: "Why don't we invite His Highness King Jing back and let him take charge of the overall situation?"
Some people agreed, while others disagreed: "Your Majesty's son is not only King Jing, but isn't there another one in Nangong?"
"No, have you forgotten how that person was deposed in the first place?"
Immediately, the courtiers started arguing over the selection of the crown prince, and their various factions became furious with each other.
Xuan Ying couldn't stand it anymore and yelled angrily: "That's enough, shut up, everyone. Let's get King Jing back first and talk about it later."
With that said, he gave another order: "Take His Royal Highness under custody and keep him under strict guard."
"you......"
Queen Yan wanted to stop her but was stopped by Mu Yun'an. She shook her head and persuaded: "It's useless. Let's go back first."
She supported Queen Yan and turned to leave when she heard Xuan Ying's cold voice: "Princess Princess, are you sure you want to stay?"
Mu Yun'an looked back at him, raised his head and said, "Why, is Commander Xuan still afraid of this princess?"
Xuan Ying said in a faint voice: "Princess, please help yourself."
After leaving these words, he left the Qianzheng Hall with his hidden guards.
Queen Yan held Mu Yun'an's hand and said, "You shouldn't have stayed. If there was a real turmoil in the palace, none of us would be able to escape."
Mu Yun'an said: "If Prince Jing is coming back, why should I be so pessimistic?"
Queen Yan shook her head: "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter, more like a conspiracy. Unfortunately, the palace is now blocked and no messages can be sent. I hope Lin'er will not come back."
Mu Yun'an comforted her: "It's useless to think about this now. Let's go back first. Only by recuperating our spirits can we deal with the next thing."
Queen Yan nodded and took Mu Yun'an and Yuan Jiahe back to Weiyang Palace.
It was already dark, and the palace was even more heavily guarded than usual.
