At this moment, Zhao Gonggong also walked in from outside.

He carried a package on his back and said seriously: "The old slave has served Your Majesty for so many years, no matter what Your Majesty decides, the old slave is willing to follow!"

"Father-in-law Zhao, don't call me Your Majesty in the future, just call me Qing'er." Wei Qing smiled.

Zhao Gonggong nodded, his eyes full of emotion.

"Let's go."

The three of them walked outside, but before they could get out of the garden outside, dozens of people came to them.

The leading eunuch sneered: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, please rest your majesty early, don't run around."

"I'm not an emperor anymore, what do you want?" Wei Qing had a cold face.

"No, no, no, at least for now, Your Majesty is still the Emperor." The eunuch smiled and waved his hand, and all the people behind him scattered, surrounding the entire garden and the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Wei Qingtie's face was blue, and his heart sank.

It seems that they are going to be placed under house arrest......

The three of them failed to escape in the end, and the next day under the hostage, Wei Qing could only go to the morning court as usual.

This was the last time she went to the early court, and in front of the civil and military officials, she personally announced the holy edict and gave up the throne to Wei Li.

However, Wei Li was not present on this day, and only Concubine Zhao sat next to her to receive the holy decree.

The civil and military officials had already learned of this result, and after hearing it, they were neither surprised nor expressed their attitude. Most of them are still waiting.

In the crowd, Cao Zhi was a little anxious, and he was about to speak.

But Wan Yao grabbed him and whispered, "Don't be impulsive, everything will be delayed until Lord Shen comes back."

Now that they don't have a backbone on their side, they naturally can't act impulsively. When Shen Yunfan comes back, the time is ripe.

Hearing this, Cao Zhi could only endure it for the time being.

After Wei Qing finished announcing the holy edict, he got up to leave. But at this time, Concubine Zhao said coldly: "Alas, this palace has been with the first emperor for many years, and the first emperor hates dishonest people the most, but I didn't expect that the Wei family's family style is not right, and there is such a junior."

Hearing this, Wei Qing glared at Concubine Zhao and said, "I pretend to be a man, and it is also my parents' decision, and it is not your turn to point fingers."

"Oh? You mean the Emperor is lying?" Concubine Zhao raised her eyebrows.

Wei Qing frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Concubine Zhao continued: "The first emperor has been dead for so long, and he still has to be insulted and slandered, alas!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

This hat is buttoned too fast, right?

Suddenly, a minister stood up and said, "Insulting the first emperor is a capital crime. His Majesty...... Princess Wei Qing insulted the first emperor, and she was even more disloyal and unfilial!"

"With my Southern Wei Rites, we should deal with it severely and strictly enforce the law!" Someone chimed in.

A few ministers who spoke, full of murderous intent, obviously had already discussed it!

Wei Qing's face changed slightly, he looked at Concubine Zhao, and his eyes flickered, "You...... You're going to kill them all?"

Concubine Zhao shook her head and said, "Qing'er, it's not that this palace wants to kill them all, but that you yourself are talking about the first emperor."

Everyone panicked, no one expected that Concubine Zhao would actually kill her. If you succeed in seizing the throne, you have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, what a ruthless method!

At this time, Cao Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up and pointed at Concubine Zhao and scolded.

Concubine Zhao glanced at him and said lightly, "Someone, drag him down for strict investigation."

The Praetorian Guards came in from outside, and Cao Zhi, who had always been gentle and elegant, said angrily: "His grandmother, you all have to listen to the emperor, I see who dares to touch me today!"

Concubine Zhao sneered: "Cao Shilang, think about who the current emperor is and who this palace is."

Cao Zhi's face turned pale, the current emperor is Wei Li, and Concubine Zhao is naturally the queen mother!

The Praetorian Guard, of course, has to listen to the emperor, but this emperor has changed!

So the two sergeants just hesitated for a moment, then came up to hold Cao Zhi, and whispered while dragging them out, "Cao Shilang, offended!"

After that, the son of the country sacrificed wine Li Yuanyi and Wan Yao

, and several officials of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help it, and came forward to refute Concubine Zhao.

Most of the ministers who came forward to protect Wei Qing were people from Shen Yunfan's faction.

But they were all put down, and whoever refuted it in the entire court would be taken away!

For a while, everyone was in danger and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

And Concubine Zhao's expression was firm, and her killing intent had been decided.

But at this moment, Xu Kailin, who had never spoken, stood up.

"What does Elder Xu have to say?" Concubine Zhao was quite curious, Xu Kailin was not an official of Shen Yunfan's faction, and it stands to reason that he would not speak for the emperor.

Now that he has stepped forward, he may want to fall into the ground.

Wei Qing was already distraught, just staring at Xu Kailin.

But what they didn't expect was that Xu Kailin suddenly took two steps onto the platform in front of the dragon chair, and shouted in an almost hoarse voice: "Whoever dares to touch Princess Wei Qing today, step on the old man first!!"

This energetic voice frightened everyone.

The ministers and Concubine Zhao were full of surprise, and Wei Qing also looked incredulous.

Xu Kailin, who had been against her at the beginning, why did he suddenly come forward to protect her?

Concubine Zhao still wanted to speak at this time, but Xu Kailin said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, whoever dares to touch the princess will definitely attract a hundredfold revenge, and the old man is all he says."

Concubine Zhao's face was gloomy, and the words that came to her mouth were held back.

If it were someone else, she could still drag it away.

But Xu Kailin is the right prime minister of the court, and he is also the secretary of the household department, and his power is monstrous, and his status in the court is second only to Shen Yunfan!

Shen Yunfan has not been able to clean up Xu Kailin for so long, which shows the depth of his foundation. Concubine Zhao has just usurped the throne now, so naturally she doesn't dare to touch Xu Kailin's hair.

But now that I think about it, Xu Kailin called Wei Qing a princess, which shows that he has recognized Wei Li's status as an emperor.

In this case, Concubine Zhao can barely accept it.

So she nodded and said, "Today is the abrupt nature of the palace, and the palace will keep in mind the words of Elder Xu."

With that, she got up and left the Taihe Palace.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials naturally dispersed.

Wei Qing hesitated to speak: "Old ...... Xu."

Xu Kailin waved his hand and said, "The princess doesn't need to say much, the old minister has followed the first emperor for forty years, from nothing to the Southern Wei Dynasty. Your Wei family are all my benefactors, and I won't let people touch you for half a point."

A few words, sincerely.

Xu Kailin used to fight openly and secretly with the ministers, it was all internal competition, just like playing chess, the court was a chessboard, and they were all chess players.

But now, an outsider has directly lifted the chessboard, can Xu Kailin bear it? Of course not!

In the face of outsiders, he has always maintained the imperial court.

That's why he came forward to protect Wei Qing.

Wei Qing didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only bow to Xu Kailin.

"Before, it was me who blamed Xu Lao."
