The queen's shoulders shrank, and the hand holding Bai Jinyu became perceptibly stiff.

Bai Jinyu had a shocking question in his heart, could it be that Feng Hua's succession to the throne was a fake edict? This question was so bold that Bai Jinyu only dared to ask in his heart, and he didn't dare to say a word.

However, the tremor in her heart still ran out of her eyes, and the queen immediately guessed what she was thinking, and hurriedly said: "No, it is definitely not what you think!" ”

Bai Jinyu said: "That's ......"

The queen subconsciously glanced at the door and window, and her action made Bai Jinyu feel that what she was about to say was quite confidential and unspeakable.

The rain was murmuring outside the room, and the wind and rain were shaking, Bai Jinyu was relieved: "Don't worry, Niangniang, I'm sure there is no third person here." ”

Bai Jinyu's heart said that the rain was so loud, even if someone stood outside the door, it would be strange to hear their low voice!

The queen nodded, grabbed the porcelain cup she had just put down, took a sip of water, and seemed to be thinking about how to talk about it.

Bai Jinyu waited patiently, and after a while, the queen said: "It is true that there is no imperial seal of the first emperor, but there are others. ”

Bai Jinyu was stunned: "Something else?" What is something else? ”

The queen lowered her head and said with some embarrassment: "You should know Fenghua...... It is the crown prince who was deposed by the first emperor. She quickly raised her head, and her eyes shone with an unyielding light: "He was killed by Empress Dowager Feng, and it was the first emperor who listened to people's demagoguery for a while......"

Bai Jinyu patted her hand and said, "I know, Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch. ”

Only then did the queen say with peace of mind: "In short, the first emperor did not appoint a prince until the eve of his death. Later, when the first emperor had the heart to stand, his body was very weak, and he often woke up in a coma for several days. The last time the first emperor woke up was at midnight, with only Cai Xukun, the waiter of the Chinese book, and Han Yan, the waiter of the criminal department, on the side, and the first emperor immediately ordered Cai Shilang to draw up the edict of succession, but unfortunately he couldn't find the imperial seal when he paid for it......"

Bai Jinyu said strangely: "There is still such a thing? ”

The queen nodded miserably: "The edict must be stamped with the jade seal of the country and the imperial seal of the first emperor in order to be effective." The jade seal of the country was kept by the eunuch of the palace, so it was taken out at that time, but the imperial seal was generally kept by the emperor himself, and the first emperor only told the Empress Dowager Feng where she was, but unfortunately when the first emperor asked people to take it, the imperial seal was nowhere to be found. ”

Bai Jinyu listened, only feeling that what the queen said was gloomy and dark, and the people behind it were really frightening.

She speculated: "It seems that someone with a heart deliberately hid the imperial seal in case the first emperor woke up at an hour beyond her control. ”

The queen nodded: "Without the imperial seal, even if there is an edict drawn up by officials from Zhongshu Province, the edict will not be effective." It was only then that the first emperor saw the face of the Feng family covering the sky and power, and he was so angry that he vomited blood three liters on the spot...... Later, it was temporarily proposed by Lord Han to let the first emperor replace the imperial seal with a handprint, which led to this precious edict of succession. ”

Bai Jinyu also generally understood at this moment when she heard this, and out of caution, she still summarized and confirmed to the queen: "Therefore, the edict of succession is true, but it is not stamped with the imperial seal, but the handprint of the first emperor. ”

The queen said: "Exactly. ”

Bai Jinyu sighed: "Fortunately, it was the waiter of the Criminal Department who was present, and he really couldn't think of this idea if he changed to someone else." He was in charge of the Criminal Department, so he knew that people's hand prints were very different, and it was impossible for them to be the same as others, and it was indeed suitable to use them as imperial seals. ”

The queen said: "Your Majesty ascended the throne, I really want to thank Lord Han for his idea, after the death of the first emperor, several governors of Menxia Province also verified the fingerprints of the first emperor, and finally announced that the first emperor of the world passed on to His Majesty." ”

After the queen finished speaking, Bai Jinyu already felt a chill down her spine, and the open and secret battles in the royal family were really treacherous.

Bai Jinyu asked, "It's just ...... Your Majesty has now been on the throne for more than a year, why has this edict been revealed? ”

"It's Empress Dowager Feng," the Empress frowned tightly and sighed, "She's crazy......"

Hearing the queen say this, Bai Jinyu was clear, and couldn't help but think of the crazy figure who was talking nonsense and unkempt and barefoot in front of the Taiji Palace.

The queen said: "Before, except for the three high-ranking officials, not many people knew the details of the edict. But after Empress Dowager Feng went crazy, she began to talk nonsense, and said that the edict of the first emperor did not have an imperial seal in the palace. ”

The queen's face suddenly turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "You must know that some of the guards in the palace have just been promoted from the command of King Ning and King Chu......

Hearing this, Bai Jinyu was also shocked.

The queen tugged at her heart and said: "King Ning and King Chu are not things in the pool, and this time they cut the feudal domain because their troops were frustrated and unable to resist the order, so they reluctantly complied. But they are unwilling, in the future will definitely wait for the opportunity to take revenge on Your Majesty, now they are still in the fief to preside over the affairs of entering Beijing, the palace dare not imagine, wait for a period of time when they return to Beijing to learn about the matter of the edict of the throne, how will they make a big fuss! ”

Bai Jinyu was silent, the queen was rightly worried, if she was Feng Lin and Feng Ye, she would not let go of this great opportunity.

Before today, she thought that the emperor was "a snipe and a clam fighting, and the fisherman profited", but now it seems that there is another one, that is, "lifting a stone and smashing his own feet".

"Lihua-" After thinking about it, the queen held Bai Jinyu's hand again, Bai Jinyu's heart jumped suddenly, and she only heard the queen say: "Now that they haven't entered the capital, we must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible!" ”

"We?" Bai Jinyu withdrew her hand from the queen's palm, now she is going to run away in a few days, but she doesn't want to care about it anymore.

The queen affirmed: "It's us!" Your Majesty, Hongu, and you, Princess Yuga! To tell you the truth, the palace is here today, and it was also instructed by His Majesty! ”

The queen said this to make Bai Jinyu pay attention, but Bai Jinyu, who had just been taught a strict lesson by Wen Zhengyan for a few days, heard that the emperor was involved, and immediately shirked even more evasively: "This, I can't do it, this matter should wait for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to come back and discuss it in the long run!" ”

The queen shook her head and said anxiously, "When will King Jin come back?" ”

She raised her head and folded her fingers and calculated: "Before leaving, His Highness said that he would come back on October 15, and there may be about ten days!" ”

The queen looked at Bai Jinyu, her eyes were full of worry: "Lihua, what if King Ning and King Chu enter Beijing before King Jin?" If they strike first, we may not even have a chance to protect ourselves! ”

Bai Jinyu was still thinking about prevarication, and said vaguely: "No, the fiefs of King Ning and King Chu are much farther than Yongzhou, so it shouldn't be possible to go to Chang'an before His Royal Highness!" ”

The queen's face was stunned for a moment, she frowned and looked at Bai Jinyu seriously for a moment, and Xiao Yili said: "Lihua, you must not take this matter lightly!" You must know that you and Yuhe are different from others. ”
