Chapter 621: Mastermind
did not scold Chu Changning for being ridiculous, but let him talk about the emperor's situation.
The old thing is dead, and he wants to say something!
But the third prince is not stupid, he feels that there is something wrong when he hears this.
Thinking about it carefully, the old queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, if she knew that her son was dead, how could she still stand here calmly, so Qin Zhaoning should not have told the queen mother the news that the emperor had died, so he asked this question.
The third prince stepped forward with a hard head: "My father is in a critical condition now, and he can't see the wind, let alone outsiders, so everything will be handled by me, don't you know about the emperor's grandmother?" β
He circled the Empress Dowager Qin, hoping that the Empress Dowager Qin would take the initiative to cooperate with his statement.
As long as the Empress Dowager Qin responds to this sentence, his identity as the crown prince in charge of the country can be determined.
Changning also frowned slightly.
If the imperial grandmother really wants to support Chu Chengxian, the fake prince, then the problem will be a little tricky.
Changning thought that the Queen Mother was not in good health and would not care about these things.
Can ...... now
Her gaze fell on Qin Zhaoning.
Obviously, the matter of inviting the Queen Mother to come forward is inseparable from Qin Zhaoning.
"The mourning family has indeed heard the emperor say that they will leave state affairs to young people." The Queen Mother spoke.
The third prince took the opportunity to answer: "Changning, don't mess around, and Qin Wujiang, your crime of resisting the decree and escaping marriage is unforgivable, but the father is now unconscious and should not kill, first-"
"Wait!" Changning's voice was clear.
"Chu Chengxian, you are in such a hurry, I can't help but think of it too simply."
The third prince's face changed slightly.
"What do you mean by that? Bengong is in a brother and sister, and not holding you accountable for spreading rumors is already on the open side. β
The ministers' heads swayed back and forth, their eyes torn between Changning and the three princes.
Now that the crown prince and the eldest princess have their own opinions, who should they believe?
The prince said that everything was a farce directed and acted by the eldest princess who hated Qin Wujiang and escaped marriage.
The eldest princess said that it was the third prince who killed his father and usurped the throne, and she was not as good as a beast, and she also held a secret letter as evidence, and previously said that there was another key evidence in her hand.
Who's telling the truth?
They all knew that the eldest princess controlled the city defense army of Zhouwan, and Mu Qingyan, the mighty king of Liaodong County, was outside to take care of it, believing that it would only be a matter of time to attack the palace.
And the third prince is now in control of the palace, and the lives of all the people in the palace, including Changning, are in his hands.
So the two have each other's hole cards in their hands.
Changning and the third prince are very clear that the reason why they are still arguing about right and wrong is not because of any brother and sister relationship, but because they both know that whoever can't hold their breath first will lose.
Because the one who makes the first move will definitely become a traitor in the eyes of the ministers, and the stigma of this usurpation will follow him for the rest of his life.
So as a last resort, Chu Chengxian still hopes to resolve this matter peacefully.
At least stabilize Changning.
Therefore, he only said that if he disposed of Qin Wujiang, he would have given Changning a face.
At this point, he can no longer mistake that fake with wind flowers, and still give Princess Changning the glory, Changning doesn't know what to do, and he has to compete with him for the first position in the world.
But Chu Chengxian's matter would be so simple.
Changning immediately said: "Whether it is rumors or not, you will know after reading this." β
The girl took out a scroll of edicts from her sleeve.
The bright yellow color dragon pattern shows the dignity of his origin.
"Secret edict?!" Qin Taifu exclaimed.
They didn't expect that what the eldest princess said was actually a secret edict!
"Fake!" The third prince subconsciously shouted.
The ministers' eyes changed slightly.
There was a hint of fear in the voice of the third prince.
"My father's illness is urgent, and he doesn't have time to leave a secret edict, even if he stays, he will only leave it to me!" The third prince forced his composure and added.
Although the round one is not complete, it is still back.
"Everyone in the world knows that my father loves me the most, Chu Changning, and left a secret edict for me, is there anything wrong?" Changning sneered.
The third prince panicked for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Qin Zhaoning.
Why doesn't this slut speak?
Do you have to wait for Chu Changning to force him up the jade steps?
What he didn't see was a sneer on the corner of Qin Zhaoning's lips through the bead curtain.
She laughed at how clumsy the excuse that the third prince thought of for his own cleverness.
His opponent is Chu Changning!
The third prince was so naΓ―ve, thinking that these three or two sentences would be able to deal with the cunning Chu Changning.
Isn't that a fantasy?
Chu Changning didn't even need to bother to speak, as long as he acquiesced in his excuses.
Because of the excuse of the third prince, it is clear that he does not intend to let Fenghua come forward as a fake, so naturally there is no confrontation between the real and fake princesses, and all the problems depend on the point where Changning was repented of his marriage.
But in this way, Changning is equivalent to easily returning to its original position!
That's right.
is effortless.
The third prince sent her to help her recover her true body!
But Qin Zhaoning didn't have the crude excuse of blocking the three princes from the beginning.
This also made Changning a little puzzled.
However, she didn't let Qin Zhaoning ruin her plan, and the girl took out the secret edict as before.
"You bring it, and this palace will inspect it." The Three Princes said.
How could Changning give it to him?
The girl neatly pulled off the rolled straps, and the secret bones rolled down.
The courtiers gathered around.
Changning Wu rotated around himself, so that the ministers around him could see the content of the secret edict clearly.
And due to the exclusion of the three princes, the six princes were detained at the court meeting, and the five princes were grounded.
So there were no other princes.
But even so, the status of the person who reads the edict is sufficient.
Qin Taifu, several old ministers and old generals.
"When I was critically ill, the eldest princess was in charge of the country! In case of accidents, the transfer ......"
"Succession...... Sister-in-law. Someone muttered.
Succession.
His Majesty has only one queen, and that is the first queen Xiao Chunyi Empress Liu.
The first queen had no children and only one daughter.
If it's really a son-in-law, then it's only ...... The eldest princess alone can be regarded as a concubine.
The stunned expressions of the ministers were not much better than those of thunder.
"This is ridiculous, there must be fraud in it!"
"How can Your Majesty pass on the throne to the heroine!" Someone shouted, and then the voice fell silent.
After all, Changning, the heroine, is next to her.
"Wujiang, what the hell is going on?" Qin Gongyun was greatly shocked and couldn't help but look at his son.
Qin Wujiang was obviously an insider in his eyes.
It's a pity that even Qin Wujiang himself didn't know that Changning still had such a secret edict in his hand.
Succession.
"It's absolutely impossible!" The third prince exclaimed.
Although it was not the first time that he knew that the emperor intended to pass on the throne to Changning, he would inevitably not be able to control his emotions when he really saw such a secret edict.
Father, father!
You're ruthless enough to pass on the throne to a woman rather than pass it on to me!
"The seal on this is indeed a jade seal, as well as the private seal of His Majesty's Yin and Yang, which can never be made casually." The Ministry of Rites is the most understanding of this matter and stands up.
"Imperial Grandmother!" The third prince subconsciously asked the queen mother for help.
They're in the same boat!
Empress Dowager Qin closed her eyes and beckoned, Qin Zhaoning came out from behind the curtain.
"I can testify to this matter," Qin Zhaoning pointed with his hand and turned from Changning's nose to the third prince: "He is the mastermind who plotted to usurp the throne."
