Master Wei took the order to go back to the East Palace, and soon came to report, "When Mr. Wuji was in the East Palace, he didn't say a few words to the princess, but he talked to the emperor's grandson for a long time. After leaving the East Palace, he went to the Empress Dowager. Please say hello, I stayed in the Empress Dowager’s Palace for about half an hour.”
"The Imperial Grandmother?" Nangong Yitian was a little surprised. Why would the Imperial Grandmother suddenly take care of this matter?
However, the imperial grandmother had met Leng Xiao before and asked Leng Xiao to bring her son into the palace, saying that she wanted to keep a proton, but he could not guess what the actual intention was.
At that time, I thought this reason made sense, because the imperial grandmother doted on Si Nian very much, and she always did things flawlessly, so this approach was not surprising at all.
However, the imperial grandmother rarely summoned the people around him, and Wuji would not just go to greet her elderly person casually. Now he went to greet her and came back to tell him that Leng Sui'an was not Leng Xiao.
So, there is a problem here.
Moreover, he was too familiar with Wuji. He could tell what was hidden inside with just one look or expression.
Therefore, in addition to concealing Leng Xiao's identity, he also knew why Leng Xiao left him.
Nangong Yitian's eyes darkened slightly, the matter was more complicated than he thought before, but it didn't matter, he said he would never let her go again.
The next day, Nangong Yitian and Wuji started to go to court before dawn. All the civil and military officials knew that he was injured and expressed their condolences.
He didn't even discuss what he wanted to announce this time with his confidants in the East Palace, and he didn't summon them since he was recovering from his injuries. Therefore, when he saw him in court today, he had to ask about the assassin.
Nangong Yitian said a few perfunctory words, and then heard the announcement that the courtiers had entered the palace.
Before the discussion, Nangong Yitian announced the appointment of the Crown Princess, and announced the candidate for the Crown Princess, Leng Xiao, his former princess and the mother of the emperor's grandson Nangong Si Nian.
This announcement is like killing a stone and causing thousands of waves.
Taifu Lu immediately jumped out to object, saying that Leng Xiao had tried to kill him that day and was still a parricide beast who had lost all ethics and humanity and could never be named a crown princess.
As soon as Taifu Lu said this, many officials immediately supported him and did not agree to appoint Leng Xiao as the crown prince.
As for Nangong Yitian and the East Palace ministers, his confidants, although they were very shocked, they were sworn to be loyal to His Highness, so no matter what His Highness's intention was, they would support it.
In addition to his close ministers, King Shun also gave full support, because King Shun knew that Leng Xiao was not that kind of person, and Leng Xiao had saved his family.
The eldest son of the emperor, King Jin, and the second son of the emperor, King Xiang, did not engage in life, but they had the mentality of watching a drama, as if they had finally waited for him to commit a crime.
Nangong Yitian listened to their argument and looked at the emperor without saying a word.
The emperor did not expect that he would propose to enthrone Leng Xiao in front of the palace. He was unhappy because it was not the best time now. If he wanted to rehabilitate Leng Xiao, he could wait until he ascended the throne in the future to rehabilitate him.
It's a complete mess now.
Just when the ministers were excited, the Queen Mother came to court.
The emperor personally welcomed her in. The train of her phoenix robe trailed behind her, sweeping across the white stone floor of the hall. She slowly climbed onto the throne and sat down with the emperor.
She had a majestic face, and after searching around with her sharp eyes, she said, "Everyone, calm down and listen to what Ai Jia has to say."
Taifu Lu said excitedly: "Empress Dowager, you must stop the Crown Prince's foolish behavior. Leng Xiao has a bad reputation and must not be named the Crown Princess. Moreover, she is dead."
The Empress Dowager looked at Taifu Lu with kind eyes, "Taifu, please be patient."
Mrs. Lu burst into tears and said, "Queen Mother, I am also thinking about Your Highness. Your Highness can't be so confused."
