"Chen'er!"

Lady Yin was filled with a huge surprise, and subconsciously rushed over and held the little boy in her arms.

"Mother, you're here too...... Mother, I saw my father. ”

The little boy happily got into the arms of the maid Yin.

His first words were related to his parents.

But in the main hall, many sneers sounded clearly and visibly.

Although no one said anything, the meaning is obvious, the word 'dad' is also your name?

But the maid Yin didn't pay attention to it so much.

At the moment of seeing her son, there was no longer the slightest nervousness and panic in her heart, and she held her son firmly in her arms, and her whole life and soul, the only thought at this time was to protect her son at all costs.

"Don't make a noise, stand aside. ”

The eunuch opened his mouth and scolded.

The boy closed his mouth tightly.

He is dull and has not seen much of the world, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to discern the situation in front of him.

From a very young age, his mother has always taught him not to speak when he shouldn't speak, don't open his mouth when he shouldn't, don't open his mouth, don't take what he shouldn't take, and don't look at what he shouldn't see.

He didn't want to bother his mother.

So he behaved very, very well-behaved.

Even since he entered the palace yesterday, at any time, he is absolutely well-behaved, not saying much, not asking more, not looking more.

This little guy has average qualifications, but in some ways, he is much more precocious than his peers.

"Give me a seat. ”

High up in the dragon chair, a slightly tired voice sounded.

Today's emperor is even worse.

His face was unconcealably pale, his eye sockets were deep-set, with a dark blue, a kind of twilight and death, entangled around this person's body, even the most stupid person, he could see that this supreme master of the Emperor Extreme Cliff was already terminally ill at this time, and the medicine stone was cured.

"An unidentified subordinate is just a subordinate, just stand, what kind of seat is given. ”

A slightly mean, crisp female voice sounded.

Empress Zheng, who was sitting next to the emperor, had a beautiful face, flying phoenix eyes, lancet eyebrows, and extravagant facial features, but her eyes were unusually sharp, giving people a feeling that they were not easy to get along with.

On weekdays, of course, the empress did not dare to refute the emperor's will.

Is it just the emperor today...... It seems that he doesn't have the strength to worry about these things with the queen.

So the eunuch really didn't give the Yin maid and the prince Chen a seat.

The expressions of the courtiers in the hall are also different, which is worth playing.

Yesterday the emperor decreed, this morning dynasty, only the matter of the establishment of the prince, many people smelled the wind, and some people specially put out the news that the emperor's time is short, and when I arrived at the palace today, I saw that even the queen was there, and I realized that things were even more unusual.

At the hand of the queen stood a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old,

This young man has a handsome face, between his eyebrows, revealing an aura, he is young, and his cultivation is already quite good, but between his eyebrows, there is a slight yin color, with a towering hooked nose, and he looks humble on the surface, but the disguise is too immature, but in fact, between the expectations, the arrogance is fully revealed.

This young man is the queen's adopted son, Prince Zhen.

The second prince and the emperor are half-brothers, who died young, leaving only one son, who was adopted by the queen less than a month after birth, and what flows in his body is also the blood of the royal family.

The queen's family, today's goal is to push this young man to the position of prince.

The ministers in the main hall have arrived.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time to start the court. ”

Zheng Yuan, the head of the ministers, came out of the ranks and spoke slowly.

The emperor's breath was slightly panting, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he said slowly: "Don't worry, wait for Prince Mu to arrive, and then start." ”

The queen, along with the ministers, all changed their complexions slightly.

Prince Mu is also coming?

On weekdays, Prince Mu never participates in court meetings.

He never spoke on the affairs of the government.

Everyone knows that this peerless figure who is mighty in the world spends most of his time on cultivation, and he has never cared much about this kind of trivial matter of court politics.

Why is it that today is an exception?

At this time, everyone realized that on the steps on the lower left side of the dragon chair, the empty silver-inlaid throne was actually reserved for Prince Mu.

"Since Prince Mu is going to attend the court meeting, he is late, and the shelf is a little big. Gao Shengwei talked in a small voice, just enough for everyone around him to hear.

That's right.

The emperor convenes a court meeting, how can he be late as a courtier?

This is a great disrespect.

Although Prince Mu has made great contributions, he can't get carried away.

This is to weaken Prince Mu's impression in the government.

But at this moment, a voice sounded beside the silver throne: "This king has come, Your Majesty, the court meeting can begin." ”

Everyone only felt a flower in front of them.

I don't know when, in front of the silver throne, there was already a person standing.

Dressed in white like jade, with short black hair, he is handsome.

Isn't it Prince Mu, who is not famous all over the world and has unparalleled immortal might?

The entire hall was instantly silent.

Gao Shengwei's complexion changed drastically, and he quickly lowered his head.

"I've seen Prince Mu. ”

Zheng Yuan smiled and bowed to Li Mu.

However, Li Mu's eyes didn't fall on him at all, and he didn't even look at him.

Zheng Yuan didn't react at all on the surface, but in the depths of his eyes, a trace of vicious resentment flashed, and he hid it well.

Li Mu's appearance made the atmosphere in the entire imperial hall suddenly different.

A pressure that is indescribable in words spreads in the hearts of every minister, and the white figure seems to be a mountain, pressing on everyone's heart.

The Queen is no exception.

Li Mu used to be the commander of the palace guards, he was on duty in the palace, and he had met with the queen a few times, but the queen at that time didn't take Li Mu, who was a true immortal-level cultivator, very seriously, and just treated him as an ordinary guard.

Until now, she couldn't figure out why this Mu Mu, after going to the Divine Howling Cliff, his strength was suddenly so terrifying.

In the emperor's dim eyes, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed.

Li Mu's appearance injected a spiritual power into his already terminally ill body, making him seem to suddenly become relaxed.

I don't know when he started, his dependence on Li Mu can no longer be removed, many times, no matter what decision is made, with this man present, he will be more comfortable and confident.

"Brother Mu, sit. ”

The Emperor raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Li Mu saluted, and then sat down on the silver throne.

"What is the matter of summoning all the secretaries here today, I believe that all the secretaries already know, I want to set up a prince today, but my blood will wither, and there is only one son under my knees, named Chen, I have intentions, the prince of Lichen is the prince, what do you think?"

In the main hall, the sound of discussion suddenly rose.

Although he knew that today's court meeting was to determine the prince, and he also knew the existence of Emperor Chen, the emperor put forward his candidate so directly, but it still made many ministers have some surprises.

Emperor Chen, a mongrel born to a lowly maid.

For the past nine years, everyone has forgotten about his existence.

Even the emperor himself doesn't care about this prince at all, whether he is dead or alive, he never asks, he regards it as a stain, why is it that all of a sudden, his status in the emperor's mind is turned upside down, and he is about to be established as a prince?

The queen's eyebrows furrowed tightly.

The little prince beside her also looked at Prince Chen, who was hiding in his mother's arms like a frightened chickadee, with a cruel gaze.

It was a fierce gaze that shouldn't belong to a young man.

Maid Yin stayed on the spot.

She was holding her son in her arms, and was almost unconscious by the emperor's words.

This news is like thunder.

Your Majesty wants to make your son the crown prince?

First of all, a joy.

Happily, the son's father seems to be finally willing to admit this son?

But in the next moment, great fear struck again.

Even if His Majesty is willing to make Chen'er the crown prince, will those ministers agree? The four major families, the generals in the army, and the queens and concubines of the harem...... Will they spare Chen'er?

His own Chen'er, helpless, weak and dull, like weeds and weeds growing in the imperial garden, barely survived by natural wind and rain, only a little sunlight is enough.

If all the sunshine is given to Chen'er at once, not only can they not grow into towering trees, but they will be sunburned to death.

Maid Yin looked at the emperor with eyes full of fear.

The emperor's gaze was on Li Mu.

In last night's letter, he made it very clear.

At this time, he needed Li Mu's statement.

The eyes of the ministers in the palace also looked at Li Mu.

Before Li Mu spoke, no one dared to speak.

Because everyone understands that this matter, as long as there is the emperor's will and Prince Mu's approval, it is ironclad, and no matter how others oppose it, it is just useless.

"Brother Mu, what do you think?"

The Emperor asked.

Li Mu sat on the silver throne and pretended to sleep, and when he heard this, he said lightly: "This is Your Majesty's family matter, and it is inconvenient for the foreign ministers to say more, so it is up to Your Majesty to worry about dictatorship." ”

A hint of disappointment suddenly appeared on the emperor's face.

He originally thought that Mu Mu would support Prince Chen.

And the queen, as well as many other ministers, had a relieved ecstasy on their faces.

"Mu Qing is worthy of being a loyal minister of His Majesty, and what he said is very true. ”

The queen smiled and spoke, looking at Li Mu's eyes, she had a little more appreciation, and suddenly felt that this Prince Mu was actually very knowledgeable about current affairs.

The atmosphere in the imperial hall, all of a sudden, seemed to be alive.

"Your Majesty, the prince of Zhen under the queen's knee is also a royal bloodline, pure blood, intelligent and wise, excellent talent, filial piety, diligence and thrift, and the age is more suitable. ”

Zheng Yuan stepped out of the queue and spoke.

The minister seconded. ”

The minister also seconded. ”

"Master Zheng is right. ”

About a dozen important ministers all stood up in support of Zheng Yuan's proposal.

Zheng Yuan smiled faintly, then his face changed, his tone became sharp, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister also found out a major matter, and had to report to Your Majesty, it turns out that this Prince Chen is not His Majesty's own son, back then, the Yin maid had an affair with a guard in the palace, and gave birth to this Prince Chen, which is why Prince Chen's appearance is completely different from His Majesty's. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an exclamation in the imperial hall.

Even Yang Jia had a look of surprise on his face.

Okay, you're Zheng Yuan, are you playing so badly?

Not only to push Prince Zhen to the throne, but also to put Emperor Chen's son, mother and son directly to death, this is to take advantage of this court meeting to directly cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and cover the coffin.

Is the courage of the queen's family so big?
