Even as the prime ministers were announced to the palace one after another, martial law in the huge imperial capital continued.
Prince Ji's Mansion.
It has been a long time since the imperial concubine Yu remained in a meditative posture.
Aunt Wei made her favorite bird's nest and snow pear and sent it to her. She gently advised her: "During lunch, you only took a few bites. How can your body bear it? Let the prince know that you should I blame the slaves for not serving them with all their heart."
Yu's eyelashes drooped slightly and she lowered her head: "The prince-in-law will not come back."
Aunt Wei suddenly froze. After a few moments, she forced herself to smile again and said, "What are you talking about? Didn't the princess send someone to send a message? There is a martial law outside and the prince has returned." I couldn’t find a home, so I stayed at Yue’s house nearby..."
Mrs. Yu listened expressionlessly, and when she finished speaking, she suddenly smiled sadly.
She stood up, shook her head, and said again: "Why do you have to deceive yourself? I know he can't come back."
Aunt Wei moved her lips a few times, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
Yu covered her heart with her palm, closed her eyes, and frowned: "Last night, when I heard the noise outside, my heart beat very fast. This feeling was exactly the same as the day my father died. Today. I would have understood it if I had heard that the emperor was exempt from the imperial court."
Her voice was very soft, falling into the air, as if it was about to melt away instantly: "The prince-in-law is not in the Yu family, he is in the hands of Murong Jing."
Aunt Wei reluctantly said: "I'm not sure yet..."
Mrs. Yu opened her eyes and looked at her with a bitter smile: "What kind of assurance do you need? As early as the day when the Queen Mother was forced to become a monk, wasn't she already at the end of her rope?"
Nanny Wei wanted to speak, but Mrs. Yu didn't want to listen. She stretched out her arms and raised her chin slightly: "Change my clothes, I want to see Murong Jing."
Aunt Wei hesitated for a few moments, and finally sighed: "Yes."
The palace servants who had served the Yu family for several years helped her comb her hair into a bun, change her clothes, pull up her hair with pearls, and dress her in gorgeous clothes, as if she had once again become the most favored one by the emperor who lived in the Nine Layers Palace. Princess Chongqing.
The palace servants led the way, and Aunt Wei followed. Princess Chongqing left the courtyard where she lived, holding a handwritten letter stamped with the seal of the late emperor.
After all, the servants in Prince Ji's Mansion were not officials in the Ministry of Rites, so they could not tell the difference between the imperial concubine's imperial attire and the princess' imperial attire. They only felt that the imperial concubine's make-up was appropriate and she wanted to leave the palace at this juncture. Strangely, he approached to inquire, but was shouted back by the palace attendants. When he saw that the Crown Princess had a solemn look on her face, they did not dare to infringe upon her, so they all retreated and allowed her to leave Prince Ji's Mansion.
There were imperial guards patrolling outside Prince Ji's Mansion. Everyone was afraid and did not dare to come near. Only Princess Chongqing showed no fear and sent people to go and spread the message: "Princess Chongqing, the daughter of the late emperor, is here and will come in today." When I see you in the palace, you are still not retreating, but when will you wait?"
The imperial guards guarding the place exchanged glances with each other. Someone went to report the news, and soon a young man with a lazy look came over on horseback.
It was Cao Yang.
He had received the emperor's order early, so when he saw Princess Chongqing, he was naturally not surprised. He asked someone to drive over the carriages and horses that had been prepared, indicating that they could enter the palace in her car.
Princess Chongqing frowned and said nothing. The maid who came near scolded: "In compliance with the rules of the country and the dynasty, the carriage the princess rides in should be..."
Cao Yang crossed his arms, and before she could finish speaking, he clicked his tongue and said, "I only know that before leaving the palace, the emperor had a holy instruction, saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes. In compliance with the national system of this dynasty, Duke Chongqing The Lord is dead, and if she is unwilling to give in, it would be fine to send her to see Lord Yama on the spot. Today is the Son of Heaven on earth, and Lord Yama is the Lord of the Underworld, which is not much different. "
The maid who approached her was so lustful that she didn't dare to say anything more, so she carefully looked at Princess Chongqing's expression.
Princess Chongqing sneered and looked at Cao Yang coldly: "You are really a wolf from the Zhongshan family. If you succeed, you will be rampant!"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just rampant."
When it comes to yin and yang, ten Chongqing princesses tied together can't compare to Cao Yang: "I'll forgive you, I'm a commoner. I haven't read many poems and books. I don't know what this means. I just know There is a folk saying that a phoenix that lands on the ground is not as good as a chicken."
His retort was sharp and heart-wrenching. Princess Chongqing's color changed instantly and she said angrily: "How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you——"
"It's because I know who you are that I'm even more willing to say these words. To the former princess, a phoenix is worse than a chicken. Ordinary people will never get such an opportunity in a few lifetimes!"
Cao Yang said lazily to her, and then pointed to the carriage and horse not far away expressionlessly: "Should we go or not? If not, I'll go!"
Princess Chongqing: "..."
Princess Chongqing almost squeezed out one word from between her teeth: "Let's go!"
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Wang Yue finally sat on the position he had longed for, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. When the emperor ordered him to sit down, the prime ministers were led by Wei Zhongzhi, followed by himself, and there was a faint feeling in his heart. Somewhat sour.
If it's Zuopushe, that would be even better...
While I was thinking wildly, I saw a servant with a hurried look on his face. He quickly stepped inside and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a woman outside the palace who claims to be Princess Chongqing, the daughter of the late emperor. She holds a handwritten letter from the late emperor. She is outside now. ask to see."
There was silence in the imperial study room for a few moments, and then it exploded like a ladle of water poured into a frying pan.
Seeing the almost eighty-year-old acting king incarnate as Ye Wen, the prime ministers kicked the chair over and said, "Damn it, she still dares to come?!!!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Prime Ministers: "..."
Although King Cheng was deeply resentful of the late emperor and his daughter, he could still sit still at this moment. He even advised the king: "Don't be impatient for a moment. Let's see what support she has in her hands. After all, she is the royal family." If the things are left outside, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."
Dai Wang sneered.
Ying Zheng then ordered his surroundings: "Call her in."
The chamberlain took the order and left. Not long after, the door of the royal study room opened from the inside, and a young woman wearing Zhai clothes and a jade ribbon on her waist, holding a long sandalwood box in both hands, came inside.
Seeing that everyone in the imperial study had different expressions, some frowned, some glanced sideways, some looked sulky, and some glared angrily, Princess Chongqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't care, and just looked at him sitting upright. The emperor at the head said loudly: "The late emperor left this intention. If you don't obey the order, what are you going to do?!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Clan members: "..."
Prime Ministers: "..."
Not a still picture.
Li Shimin stopped in Bengbu and said, "Ah, this."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered twice: "Don't say it's you, in this situation, even if your father comes back to life, he will be killed on the spot!"
Liu Che was speechless and began to greet people at the scene: "Everyone came to see it, selling the brain of a sixteen-year-old woman, 90% new, basically not used!"
"..." Li Yuanda: "Unused and useless are two different things. Report the junk seller."
When Princess Chongqing entered the palace, her heart was filled with confusion. The only thing that could give her a sense of security was the handwritten edict left to her by her father.
In her opinion, although Murong Jing knew her true identity, she did not dare to act rashly. The reason was because of her identity and the multiple protections her father had left for her.
But now that I actually came to the palace and in front of Murong Jing, and said my firm words, the reaction I got was completely different from what I imagined...
Princess Chongqing tightened her fingers on the sandalwood box silently, calmed her mind, and repeated it again: "This is the purpose of the late emperor. If you don't obey the order, what are you going to do?!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Clan members: "..."
Prime Ministers: "..."
Not a still picture.
With a soft "bang" sound, King Dai threw the crutch directly in front of the attendant, and said angrily: "Go, give her a stick! Let her wake up!!!"
The attendant did not dare to act rashly and looked at the emperor cautiously.
Ying Zheng waved his hand lightly, and then, as if he had not seen Princess Chongqing, he said to the prime ministers: "How do you think the current matter should be dealt with?"
When the prime ministers saw that the emperor regarded Princess Chongqing as a transparent person, they temporarily calmed down their thoughts and turned their thoughts to business matters.
What's going on right now...
Before Princess Chongqing entered the palace, she had anticipated countless outcomes.
Maybe Murong Jing would succumb to his father's edict and not dare to delve into the matter.
Maybe Murong Jing will become angry and want to deal with herself.
Maybe Murong Jing would do everything possible to block the news so that foreign ministers would not know that he was still alive.
But the only thing she didn't expect was that he would ignore her.
Asking people to take him into the palace, in front of the clan elders and prime ministers, and then completely ignore him, as if he does not exist.
What kind of contempt and disdain is this? !
Princess Chongqing could no longer maintain her arrogant and formidable demeanor, so she stopped holding the edict in both hands, forced back the tears that were about to burst out, and her face turned red: "Murong Jing, how dare you humiliate me like this? !”
Ying Zheng ignored her.
None of the prime ministers or clan members paid attention to her.
Wang Yue was still thinking about how to speak, when the emperor called Wei Zhongzhi's name: "What do you think Wei Pushe?"
Wei Zhongzhi lowered his head to show awe to the emperor, and then spoke calmly: "I believe that the culprit in this matter, or the culprit, is the late emperor!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, everyone in the imperial study room was shocked.
Princess Chongqing was even more stunned and stunned on the spot.
Help!
Everyone has only one thought in their mind: How dare you...
Although this is indeed the case, he still expresses his feelings so directly when speaking of a minister as a monarch——
As expected of Wei Zhongzhi!
It is indeed Wei Zhongzhi!
The dissatisfaction in Wang Yue's heart was like a bubble, and it evaporated in an instant.
Boss, please take off Mr. Wang’s knee!
Three provinces and six prime ministers deserve your top spot! ! !
Ying Zheng didn't comment on this and just said: "Go on."
Wei Zhongzhi responded and continued: "Impersonating the son of the Feng family as a son of the clan, and then plotting to seize the artifact - I don't believe that this idea was proposed by the Feng family. They don't dare."
Could it be that Feng Mingda dared to say to the late emperor, "Your Majesty, accept your fate. If you can't give birth to a son, you won't be able to give birth to a son. Let's take my son instead. You can arrange the procedures"?
Wei Zhongzhi bet with his head that if Feng Mingda dares to talk like this, the whole Feng family will have to eat!
The late emperor was kind and generous if he did not kill the entire Feng family.
The first person to bring up this matter could only be the late Emperor. Among them, Princess Chongqing may have blown the wind, but if the late Emperor refused to do so, it would be useless even if she blew a hurricane.
Regardless of the prime ministers or the clan members, they naturally understood this truth and remained silent for a while.
At this time, Princess Chongqing finally woke up from Wei Zhongzhi's straightforward statement, "The culprit is the late emperor." She took two steps forward, trembling with anger.
She said sternly: "How dare you do this, thief An? How did the late Emperor treat you? How dare you, how dare you say such unfaithful and unfilial words?!"
