The emperor is dead, and under normal circumstances, the aftermath of the emperor should be dealt with, as well as the succession of the new emperor. But after the death of Li Chengyi, the emperor, the biggest thing was the impact of his guilty edict.

Xiao Huai naturally wanted to edict the emperor's sins to the people of Daqian. He asked people to copy down the edict and post it in various downtown areas of Shangjing, and then there was an uproar.

The ordinary people didn't know about the emperor's intention to kill Xiao Huai before, but now that they knew, the anger of the people suddenly exploded. In the hearts of the people, Xiao Huai is the god of war and their patron saint.

Many people gathered in front of the palace, shouting that the emperor could not be buried in Huangling, and he was not worthy of being the emperor.

The ministers who were officials in the court were shocked when they saw that the emperor had killed King Xiaoyao and broken his body. In fact, many ministers had speculated before that King Xiaoyao was killed by the emperor, but no one would have thought that he would kill people and then break their bodies, what a pervert!

Many ministers also felt that such an emperor should not be buried in the Huangling.

In fact, the ministers are not really concerned about where the emperor is buried, they are more concerned about the succession of the new emperor. While most courtiers believed that Prince Kang's succession was a foregone conclusion, some did not, such as the Empress.

At this moment, she looked at the three princes and the three princesses sitting in front of her, and said, "The emperor has passed away, you are the most reasonable candidate for succession." ”

The third prince knelt on the ground with a thud, "Queen Mother, the sons are incompetent, and the sons can't be the emperor." ”

"Rubbish!" The queen got up and pointed at the third prince and said, "That Xiao Qi is a successor, what qualifications does he have to inherit the throne?" ”

"However, he has Dingguo Gong behind him. Now it's not that whoever Dingguo asks to be the emperor can be the emperor. The third prince said tremblingly.

He is timid and cowardly, but not stupid. was forced to compare with Li Jingyi once in the court before, and after he went back, he knew that he was not the emperor at all. Moreover, Li Jingyi has the support of Dingguo Gong, and now he is still going to grab the throne, which is to find death.

"Smack!"

The queen was so angry that she threw a cup at the third prince, the cup shattered, and the fragments hit the third prince's face, and blood flowed out instantly. But the queen turned a blind eye, she said: "I can't help you, you have to fight for this throne, and you have to fight if you don't fight." ”

She got up and threw her sleeves to leave, and the third princess walked over and helped the third prince up, "Your Highness, let's go back first." ”

The three princes nodded, and the husband and wife helped them out of the palace. Sitting in the carriage back to the palace, the three princes looked at the three princesses and asked, "What should I do?" What if they go to fight for the throne in my name? ”

The third princess held his hand, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go and ask for the Duchess of Dingguo." ”

"Does it work?" The third prince thought that before, the queen had proposed to let Dingguo Gong be the palm bead and make him the princess, and he was very weak-hearted.

What he thought of, the third princess naturally thought of as well. But she took a deep breath and said, "At least let Duke Dingguo and Prince Kang know that you don't want to fight for the throne." ”

The third prince's eyes were moist, and he held the third prince's hand tightly and said, "I... After this incident, we lived a good life. ”

The third princess smiled at him, "The concubine knows that His Royal Highness has a concubine body and children in his heart. ”

The third prince nodded heavily, and the third princess looked down at the hands of the two clasped together. Even if his heart has been completely hurt by this man, he still has to do everything he can to help him get out of the predicament. They are a husband and wife tied together, and if this man is not good, she and the child will not be good.

The car rolled around to the Three Princes' Mansion, the Three Princes got off the carriage and entered the Mansion, and the Three Princes and Princesses directly asked the coachman to drive the car to the Dingguo Mansion.

Tang Shuyi was reading a book in the study with Xiao Yuzhu, when she heard Cuiyun report that the third princess was coming. She was stunned for a moment and got up and said, "I'll go and greet you." ”

When I arrived at the door with Cuizhu Cuiyun, I saw the three princesses standing at the door. Walking over, she bowed her hand, "Third princess." ”

The third princess was startled, hurriedly hid to the side, and then stretched out her hand to help Tang Shuyi and said, "Madam has tormented me." ”

Tang Shuyi smiled: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, it should be." ”

She and Xiao Huai have no idea of plotting to usurp the throne, so even if Xiao Huai controls the entire Shangjing City, she is still the same as before in the face of people who have no grudges against her.

The queen used the name of the third prince to do a lot of disgusting things. But so far, neither the Three Princes nor the Three Princes and Concubines have done anything bad to them. Therefore, she still treats the three princesses with courtesy.

The two went to the hall in the front yard together, and after sitting down, Tang Shuyi slowly drank tea with a teacup. The third princess secretly observed her, and when she saw that she looked kind, she said, "I take the liberty to visit today, and I hope that Mrs. will forgive me." ”

Tang Shuyi put down the teacup in his hand, "I don't know what happened to the third princess's visit?" ”

The third princess clenched her fists, "My Royal Highness is timid and careless, and the emperor is guilty of his own edict when he dies, he was already worried, and he was called over by the queen to teach him just now, and now he is in a trance." ”

Saying that, she had tears in her eyes, "After Concubine Hui died, Her Royal Highness was raised under the name of the queen mother. There are many things that the queen mother does, and her Royal Highness either doesn't know about it, or even if she knows it, she can't fight it. ”

Her tears were already streaming down her face, and she looked a little pitiful. But Tang Shuyi's face didn't change, and he didn't speak, he just sat there and listened.

Although the third prince was a tool in the hands of the queen, the three princes were also happy to be used as a tool before. It's just that now the situation has changed, and the three princes and the three princesses are afraid of losing their lives and don't want to be used by the queen anymore.

But how to say it? It's human nature, everyone wants to make themselves better. It's just that the queen said before that letting the third prince marry Yuzhu really disgusted her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the third princess couldn't guess anything from her face, so she could only continue with tears in her eyes: "I came today just to ask my wife to tell Dingguo that the third prince will not fight for the throne again, and whatever the queen mother does in the future has nothing to do with him." ”

At this time, Tang Shuyi couldn't stop talking, she said: "There are some things that are better to do." ”

The third princess listened to her words, pinched the handkerchief and pondered for a while, then got up and respectfully saluted Tang Shuyi, "Mrs. Xie mentions, I will tell the third prince when I go back." ”

Tang Shuyi nodded, the third princess got up to say goodbye, and Tang Shuyi sent her to the door of the mansion. Watching the carriage slowly move away, she turned around and went home. Now the queen is left with the queen, but if the third prince makes it clear that he will not fight for the throne, what will the queen do next?
