Seeing the queen, Lian Yan bent his knees and looked solemn, "My nephew is late to save the car, please punish my aunt!" ”

Zhu Queen's eyes moved slightly, her eyes looked Yuan Chen up and down, and when she saw that he was not injured, she turned her head to look at Lian Yan, and her smile was a little gentle, "Brother Yan, hurry up, you have a great merit today, why should this palace punish you?" ”

Yuan Chen has someone under her hands, and she, as a mother, naturally knows it.

Lian Yan is not Yuan Chen's henchman, but she is willing to lend a helping hand at such a juncture, she remembers this situation in her heart, and if she doesn't reward it, how can she punish him?

Lian Yan breathed a sigh of relief, answered in a low voice, and then slowly got up, his eyes moved to the face of his future mother-in-law, and he smiled shyly at his four eyes.

Fang Xu felt amused, glanced at him lightly, and did not respond.

Xiao Guifei stood aside, like an outsider, her fingertips twisted together, wanting to ask about the Xiao family, but she didn't know whether to speak at this time.

Yu Guang saw Xiao Guifei's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, Zhu Empress lowered her expression and asked softly, "Chen'er, have you solved everything?" ”

"The rebels have all been killed, we have won, and the father and emperor are ......" Yuan Chen paused, his eyes moved to Song Huixin's face, remembering her appearance of rushing into the Heart Cultivation Hall without hesitation, and whispered, "Erchen was a step late, and he died under the sword of the eldest imperial brother." ”

Song Huixin's eyebrows moved slightly, and the hand holding Fang Xu's arm also tightened.

Fang Xu didn't show it on his face, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and he gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Queen Zhu's lips opened slightly, wanting to say something, but she was stunned in place, thinking for a long time, and finally swallowed the words on her lips.

"That's it...... It's all fate. ”

Queen Zhu sighed lightly, the boulder pressed in her heart suddenly disappeared, and her voice was lighter.

"It's up to you how you want to go from here." Queen Zhu looked at Yuan Chen, her eyes were full of love, and her tone was a little softer, "I hope you will be strict with yourself, treat your loyal ministers well, love your heirs, and don't let the tragedy repeat." ”

Yuan Chen straightened his expression and responded in a deep voice, "Erchen respectfully obeys the teachings of the queen mother. ”

Queen Zhu's eyelids lifted slightly, looked at the white belly of the fish in the sky, and lowered her voice, "It's almost dawn, lead people to search the Heart Palace, don't ask others to turn out something." ”

"Yes." Yuan Chen looked sideways, looked at Lian Yan, and smiled on his face, "This place will be handed over to you, there is labor." ”

Lian Yan bowed his head and looked serious, "Don't worry, there is me here." ”

Yuan Chen hummed softly, and when he turned his head, he glanced at Song Huixin deeply, and then disappeared into the night.

Following

The people of the Great Swallow could never have imagined that when they woke up, the sky above their heads changed.

Steward Lu hurriedly rushed into the house, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground, "Guogong, something is wrong!" ”

At that time, Qi Guogong was still sleeping soundly, and there were two beauties lying crookedly on the couch, not an inch.

Steward Lu didn't bother to pay attention to the spring in front of him, but just cried loudly, "Guogong! ”

Qi Guogong's body was shocked, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of confusion, "What's wrong......

The two beauties also woke up, and when they saw that there was an extra steward in the house, they screamed in fright, and hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover their bodies.

Steward Lu knelt on the ground, his voice trembling, "Guogong, something big happened in the palace!" The eldest prince he ...... It's the other way around! ”

"What?" When Qi Guogong heard this, he suddenly fell asleep, his eyes widened, and he asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"Last night." Steward Lu was frightened and couldn't stop trembling, "There is news from the palace, saying that the eldest prince rebelled, forced the palace to kill his father, and killed in the palace. ”

Qi Guogong sat up, picked up the clothes on the shelf, put them on his body randomly, and kept asking, "Later...... And then? ”

Steward Lu swallowed his saliva and whispered, "The four princes led the troops to arrive, but it was too late, and they only saw the emperor's body, so they had no choice but to suppress the rebels first and wait for today's decision." ”

Hearing that the emperor had been killed, the Duke of Qi weakened his legs and fell back on the couch, "The remains...... What about the Great Prince? ”

"The eldest prince didn't want to be a coward, so he killed himself in the palace."

Qi Guogong closed his eyes fiercely, almost not catching his breath.

The sudden change caught him off guard, and he was in chaos.

"Now that the emperor has died suddenly, the position of the prince is vacant, and the court is bound to be in chaos." Qi Guogong shook his head slowly, his expression was terrified, "If it's not right......

He didn't dare to think about it.

"No...... I'm not going to fall to that point! Qi Guogong gritted his back molars and muttered in a low voice, "When I think about it, there will be a way......"

"Guogong, it's too late." Steward Lu pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "The head of the palace handed you an excerpt, saying that he wanted you to enter the palace immediately. ”

"What?" Qi Guogong was shocked, and the blood color coefficient on his face receded.

Outside the main hall, Queen Zhu was dressed in mourning clothes, with white velvet flowers pinned to her head, and tears in her eyes, looking at the coffin parked in the hall.

Behind him stood the prince and princess, all of whom cried into tears.

All the officials took off their hats and bowed their heads in silence.

The palace man held a tray with a golden scissors on it, and whoever stopped beside him would cut off a handful of hair.

The emperor died suddenly, the palace people searched the palace of Yangxin and did not find the edict of succession, and the cabinet could not make up their minds, so they had to persuade the queen to choose a candidate.

Zhu Empress was silent, only blindly shedding tears.

Several members of the cabinet looked at each other, and no one dared to speak again.

"Now that the position of the prince is vacant, please ask the queen to get an idea as soon as possible." Zhu Ge Lao Youyou opened his mouth, his expression was calm, "The fourth prince Yuan Chen is from the Middle Palace, and Tianzong Congsheng is the best candidate." ”

"I wish the elder of the pavilion that this is wrong." General Fuyuan on the side sneered and raised his voice, "The fourth prince is indeed a little outstanding, but he is still immature, and it is inevitable that something is wrong. ”

Shen Ji raised his eyelids and glanced at him quietly.

Fuyuan General Cen Zhenjiang is the grandfather of the second prince, and his words must have been in mind.

"With the country pressed on the body, who is not immature?" Zhu Ge Lao stared at him, and said with a smile, "The new emperor ascended the throne, and he was assisted by his old man." ”

Cen Zhenjiang smiled deeply, and his tone was not good, "This matter is related to the fortune of the country, and it is not appropriate to rely on the elder of the pavilion alone, right?" ”

"The queen's mother, the minister also agrees with the succession of the four princes."

When the man's voice came, Cen Zhenjiang smiled, looked back, and met Shen Ji's warm and smiling eyes.

Shen Ji saw that many eyes were focused on him, and his smile deepened, "The four princes are benevolent, filial piety, gentle, and intelligent, if it weren't for the four princes' sharpness yesterday, I am afraid that the palace would have already become a purgatory on earth." ”

"That's right," Xie Li stepped out slowly, straightened his waist, and said in a raised voice, "The fourth prince has made meritorious contributions to saving the driver, and he is also the concubine of the middle palace, and he has never been at fault in the past few years in the court, and he is the most suitable candidate for the prince." ”

Lu Qingfeng followed, clenched the wat board in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

"So is the minister."

"The minister thinks that the four princes are what everyone expects!"
