Xiao Lichuan looked at Ye Qingyi thoughtfully, and did not refute. He also knew that Ye Qingyi had killed the previous kings and even the elders, and then the shadow army and the Qi Hades army had turned against each other, which was actually to pave the way for this matter.

But... No matter what, Li Yingying is the bloodline of the first king, and there is nothing wrong with this move.

"I don't have a problem with that... But will such behavior cause dissatisfaction among the people in the city? Moreover, Lingyue is still young, and although Yanding City is only a small town, it is not easy for her to manage. Zhao's back color was unusually crimson, and his lips were as gorgeous as blood.

Ye Qingyi frowned slightly, Xingyun stepped forward, and instantly walked to Zhao Hou's side, Zhao Hou looked at her in surprise, but her face looked calm.

"Mother, you... Do you feel unwell? ”

Empress Zhao coughed a few times, and her voice was obviously a little weaker, "It's an old problem... In the past four years, I have lived in the cold palace, and I have missed my Lingyue every moment, and the days have been long... I was really lovesick, and I didn't feel anything at first, but then my chest became stuffy and I couldn't eat all day. Even now, the cough can't stop. ”

"You really underestimate Xiao Qiming, I'm afraid you're not lovesick, but... Poisoned. Ye Qingyi held Empress Zhao's thin wrist, and there was a thin line on the wrist that was close to the skin color, which was too similar to the skin color, and it was impossible to see it if you didn't look closely.

She found this thin line because she felt that Zhao Hou's illness was strange and saw it when she took her pulse.

"Queen Mother......" Li Yingying pounced on Zhao Hou and hugged Zhao Hou, her eyes full of distress.

"Niangniang, your condition is serious, and you can't afford to delay. Therefore, please consider the matter of inheriting the throne as soon as possible. Once this is done, the poison needs to be removed as soon as possible. Ye Qingyi walked back to the center of the hall, neither humble nor arrogant.

Empress Zhao touched Li Yingying's soft long hair, and finally sighed, "Girl, just do what you say." Let Lingyue inherit the throne. But how do you make it known to the people? ”

Ye Qingyi smiled like a little fox, her smart gaze swept over Li Yingying, and said, "Niangniang don't worry. I think the people will gladly accept the new king. As for how to do it, I will tell Her Majesty. ”

……

The next day, Yanding was in the city.

Xiao Qiming and Xiao Qimo's cruel blood to kill the child is almost well known, some of them were said by the onlookers that day, and some of them naturally sent the two teachers of Tianji Academy to change their faces, and spread it "kindly".

All of a sudden, it aroused strong resonance and anger among the people. At the same time, they also learned that Her Royal Highness was "killed" by her own father and brother.

Therefore, when Li Yingying changed into royal clothes and stood in Yanding City Square, the people were not dissatisfied but full of sympathy.

Around the square, there were all the people of Yanding City, Li Yingying nodded slightly. She smiled with a smile on her beautiful face and said, "Everyone, I, Li Yingying." This is the royal princess Xiao Lingyue. Just because Xiao Qiming and Xiao Qimo lost their conscience, when I was eight years old, they bled me alive and forcibly stuffed me into a coffin to bury me alive! If it weren't for the rescue of the teachers of Tianji Academy, I would have become a wisp of dead soul in the wasteland. Now, Xiao Qiming is taking the blame for himself, and he has already surrendered to the law! Xiao Qimo abandoned the city and fled. However, the city shall not be without a king. I beg you to allow me to take his place for the time being. ”

"At the same time, abolish the annual tribute to the royal family! I will not tolerate such things as bloodletting and harm! For families whose children have been killed, I will also represent the royal family by exempting them from paying taxes for five years, and at the same time giving ten gold coins a year to cover expenses, and then stop paying them after ten years. It also covers all the expenses for the schooling of the other children of these families. In the end, the original annual tax collected by the royal family from the common people was 10 percent, which was too large. Not to mention the needy families, the annual tax payable by each household to the royal family will be reduced to 2 percent from today. That's all for the time being, and more regulations and changes will be witnessed by all the people of the city in the future. ”

The full crowd was shocked, in their hearts, although Li Yingying was still a child, she was no longer a child.

"Long live Her Majesty, long live!"

After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted into a neat shout.

Ye Qingyi and Li Yingying glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.
