Jiang Wan's firm words made everyone feel like they were struck by lightning.
So the second prince’s concubine really got a civet cat to replace the prince? !
Jiang Shilang's vision went dark and he almost fainted. This Jiang Wan was really here to collect debts, and he was afraid that he might not be able to do anything good this time.
After all, he is firmly on the side of the second prince.
There was no color on the face of the second princess. Facing everyone's surprised gazes, she took a few steps back and hugged the child in her arms tighter.
"audacious in the extreme!"
The Queen Mother was so angry that her head was spinning. She thought that the second oldest grandson of the emperor was their bargaining chip.
Unexpectedly, the second prince’s concubine, a fool, would discredit the second prince!
"Second brother, you are not much better than my younger brother."
The embarrassed sixth prince did not forget to ridicule the second prince. He could not become the new emperor, and neither could the second prince's brother.
"impossible!"
The second prince was still in disbelief. He took a step forward and grabbed the second prince's concubine by the neck.
"You said...what happened?"
"Your Highness."
The second princess rolled her eyes, and the child in her hand was hugged by Xiangya.
Her legs were lifted up and she had difficulty breathing. Just when she thought she was about to die, Song Yi stopped the second prince.
"Your Highness, the cause of the matter has been figured out."
"Royal Grandmother, can my grandson accept the order?"
The Eighth Prince slowly walked towards Chao En, every step he took was extremely steady.
Of course, he did not look at Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan in front of everyone. This was also part of their plan.
The Queen Mother's face was stiff. How could she have any reason to refuse at this moment?
But she was unwilling to do so.
After struggling for most of my life, I finally made wedding clothes for others.
After Xiaoba ascends the throne, will she still support her mother clan as before?
"The Queen Mother, this is the last edict left by the late emperor."
Mr. Chu reminded him in a low voice. The Queen Mother closed her eyes in pain. When she opened her eyes again, she said helplessly:
"Take the order."
"Thank you, Grandma Huang."
The Eighth Prince received the imperial edict steadily, and everyone present knelt down and kowtowed.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
"..."
Even Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were no exception. On the contrary, the second prince stood out a bit.
"See my emperor."
The second prince reluctantly lowered his head, but his clenched fists showed that he was not willing to do so.
The Queen Mother sighed and could only say: "Your Majesty, although Lao Er and Xiao Liu made mistakes.
But they are all your brothers and sisters, and they can live or die, so you can punish them. "
This is to plead for the second prince, and the sixth prince is just passing by.
The Eighth Prince standing at the top already had the aura of an emperor. He clasped his hands behind his back, thought carefully for a while and said:
"When my father was here, the royal brothers indeed did a lot of harm to their brothers and sisters, since the royal grandmother advised me.
Naturally, I have to take into account the feelings of brotherhood. Brother Liu Huang is guilty of treason. I want Xiao Zhaoyi to die to atone for his crime. Brother Liu Huang will be crowned the loyal king.
The second emperor brother loved Lingnan and was named the King of Lingnan. He was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned.
As for the second emperor's sister-in-law, if you confuse the royal bloodline, you should be killed according to the law. However, since you are the biological mother of the little princess, you will be demoted to a noble. "
The punishment was neither light nor heavy, it was just right.
It will not make the officials feel that the new emperor who just took office is ruthless.
It is still unknown whether they can reach the fiefdom alive.
The second prince and the sixth prince reluctantly accepted the order, and the next step was to hold a state funeral.
Jiang Wan didn't want to get involved in these matters, so she yawned a little tiredly.
"Then I'll go back and rest first."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, just leave it to us."
Song Jiuyuan had too many things to be busy with, just because the Dog Emperor left another imperial edict.
Song Jiuyuan was the regent, assisting the new emperor in managing the government. The emperor had previously used it to restrain Song Jiuyuan, but he didn't expect it to go as planned.
The palace was in chaos, and it was destined to be an uneven night.
Jiang Wan was too lazy to care about this and took Qiu Yan out of the palace.
She was so sleepy that she fell asleep after returning. When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Qiu Yan came forward with toiletries, "Song Yi came here just now, and the prince asked him to give the girl some snacks.
There are many affairs in the palace, and the prince is too busy to touch the ground. I am afraid he will not have time these days. "
"I understand."
Jiang Wan thought to herself that not only Song Jiuyuan, but also the Eighth Prince might be very busy.
After all, they not only have to organize funerals, but also have to accommodate the concubines of the late emperor's harem.
Although the other six princes and the second prince were imprisoned together, there were many people supporting them.
Maybe there are rebels.
After the national mourning is over, the new emperor must be enthroned without stopping.
However, despite her busy schedule, Song Jiuyuan still remembered to have someone bring snacks, which made her very happy.
After happily finishing it, the slave came to report, "Girl, the third princess is here."
"Bring her in."
Jiang Wan stretched out and leaned lazily on the chair. After a few breaths, the third princess walked in with a smile on her face.
Compared with the first time he saw her, the third princess was obviously more cheerful, and the sadness in her eyebrows gradually disappeared.
"Miss Jiang."
"Sit down quickly."
Jiang Wan teased: "You look pretty good."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The third princess pursed her lips and smiled, "My husband's family supports the people from Sixth Brother's side.
When they discovered that I was helping the Eighth Emperor, they naturally couldn't tolerate me.
But the new emperor gave me a piece of paper and a letter of departure to set me free, and even named me the eldest princess! "
She is indeed the biggest princess in their generation.
The eldest princess passed away after her marriage.
"Congratulations, you finally got your wish."
Jiang Wan could tell that the third princess was happy from the bottom of her heart.
"I just went to see my sixth brother."
The smile in the eyes of the third princess fell, "He doesn't repent and still thinks that I betrayed him."
"Maybe he doesn't even know how much he hurt you as a child."
Jiang Wan remembered a saying she had heard in her previous life: Lucky people use their childhood to heal their lives.
And unfortunate people spend their lives healing their childhood, perhaps this is the case for the third princess.
"It's in the past."
The third princess smiled relaxedly, "You are right, you must love yourself first, so I plan to leave Kyoto."
"Waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne?"
Jiang Wan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the third princess, who looked gentle and gentle, was actually such a determined person.
"No wait."
The third princess smiled playfully, "I can't wait to breathe the free air.
This time I want to take a boat to see the outside world. I heard that there are other traveling countries on the far side of the sea. "
"Are you planning to travel far away?"
Jiang Wan was shocked again. After all, this was a bit deviant for a man, not to mention she was the third princess.
"Yes, I made an appointment with the Cheng family's boat to go out to sea."
The third princess's eyes seemed to be stained with stars, "Jiang Wan, wait until I bring you something new."
"be safe."
Jiang Wan couldn't stop a determined person, so she could only smile and bless him.
Jiang Wan was filled with emotion after seeing off the third princess. Before she could sit down, Song Jiuli hurried in.
"Sister Wanwan."
"What are you doing so frizzy?"
Jiang Wan rubbed the center of her brow tiredly, "Were you scared yesterday?"
