The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

This day, in the capital.

After hearing the news of the Queen Mother's death, Jun Yi Guang fainted from heartache.

After waking up from his fainting, he appeared in the court the next day. His face was pale but he forced himself to stay awake. He discussed with other ministers about escorting the coffin back to the capital.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing weakly twice, he sat high up in the hall and said to the civil and military officials in the hall with a face full of self-blame: "Alas, the Queen Mother passed away in Bailuo Temple. Logically, as a son, I should personally carry the coffin back to the palace to show my filial piety."

"But as the emperor, I cannot leave the capital at will..."

"Ugh……"

He sighed helplessly again, shook his head and blamed himself, "I feel deeply ashamed."

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences and take care of yourself."

When the officials heard this, they all knelt down with sad faces to comfort him.

At this time, Ruan Qinghong, as the head of all officials, had to comfort him: "Your Majesty, you have made such a sacrifice for the country and the people. The Queen Mother is kind-hearted and she will definitely understand.

As for the matter of carrying the coffin.

Your Majesty, this kind of situation has occurred before in history.

If it really doesn't work, the princes can also handle this matter on your behalf and relieve your majesty of the worry."

"is it?"

Jun Yi Guang lowered his eyes and looked at His Highness and the officials.

"Yeah yeah……"

All the officials knelt on the ground and nodded in agreement.

"Ah."

Seeing that no one had any objection, Jun Yi Guang nodded and looked at the princes sitting on the side.

"Father."

Kneeling on the ground and feeling Jun Yiguang's gaze above him, Jun Yihuan thought for a moment, then immediately raised his head and volunteered, "Father, I am willing to share your worries and go to Bailuo Temple to pick up the Empress Dowager and bring her back to the capital."

"I am willing to go with my second brother."

After Jun Yihuan expressed his opinion, Jun Yizheng also spoke up.

"So do I, your son."

Seeing that the two eldest brothers had expressed their opinions, the other princes also expressed their views.

"Ah."

Jun Yi Guang sat high up in the hall and nodded with satisfaction to his sons.

Then he thought for a moment and said to Jun Yihuan and Jun Yizhen, "The younger one is fine, Yihuan and Yizhen, who of you is willing to go?"

"This……"

Jun Yihuan and Jun Yizheng looked at each other.

Both of them wanted to go. Finally, Jun Yihuan said to Jun Yizhen first: "Yizhen, I am the elder brother. What do you think if I, as the elder brother, take charge of this matter?

"If my second brother were to handle this matter, it would be appropriate. But my second brother, you are still in charge of the Ministry of Works. After the New Year and the beginning of spring, it will be the flood season soon. Is it convenient for you to leave the capital at this time?"

"I……"

Jun Yihuan hesitated slightly.

Logically speaking, at this time, he should really be in charge of the Ministry of Works and should not leave the capital.

But thinking back, those dams that were prone to flooding in previous years were all reinforced last year, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Even if there are some minor omissions, with Xiao Wenyuan here, they can be handled according to the old rules.

In short, no matter how slow the carriage carrying the coffin is, he will be back in a month or two, so what big deal can happen?

Now that the crown prince has been deposed and the throne is vacant, the right thing to do is to seize this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Jun Yihuan raised his head, looked at Jun Yiguang in the palace and said, "Father, those dams that are prone to flooding were just reinforced last year. And the Minister of Works Xiao Wenyuan is a smart person. Even if there are some minor matters, he can handle them according to the old rules. It will not delay the government affairs."

"Um,"

There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes, and Jun Yi Guang nodded without any emotion.

He glanced between his two sons, thought for a moment, and suddenly looked at Ruan Qinghong, "My dear Ruan, regarding the matter of carrying the coffin, which prince do you think is more suitable?"

"Wei Chen..."

Ruan Qinghong opened his mouth slowly.

Including Jun Yihuan, everyone immediately pricked up their ears, wanting to see what choice Ruan Qinghong, the old loach, would make between his son-in-law and grandson.

The only exception is Jun Yizheng.

Since childhood, he has been accustomed to Ruan Qinghong's character of not getting involved in anything.

He knew that even if Jun Yihuan and Ruan Qinghong had no relationship in the past, Ruan Qinghong would not speak for him. Moreover, now that Jun Yihuan had become Ruan Qinghong's son-in-law, Ruan Qinghong would not speak for him even more.

Fortunately, with Ruan Qinghong's personality, he would not side with Jun Yihuan, that's it.

Sure enough, it was just as Jun Yizheng expected.

Under everyone's eager gaze, Ruan Qinghong slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of carrying the coffin, in my humble opinion, what the two princes said makes sense. No matter which prince is responsible for this matter, it will be appropriate..."

Ruan Qinghong treated both princes equally and praised them both.

The officials were bored and dropped their ears in disappointment, no longer paying attention to his nonsense.

Jun Yihuan frowned, glanced in the direction of Ruan Qinghong with disappointment, and lowered his head into deep thought.

"okay……"

Seeing that Ruan Qinghong was between the two princes, but was still the same old loach who didn't care about anything, Jun Yi Guang felt relieved and interrupted his chattering with satisfaction.

He sat high up in the hall, his eyes once again deciding between the two princes.

Recalling Jun Yihuan's impatience and indiscriminate behavior just now, and also recalling the incident a few days ago when Concubine Duan broke into the cold palace without permission, he narrowed his eyes in displeasure and finally said, "The flood season is coming soon. Since you are also in charge of the Ministry of Works, you should still focus on state affairs. As for the matter of carrying the coffin for the Queen Mother, let the Third Prince go."

"My emperor is wise."

All the officials shouted and kowtowed.

After Jun Yi Guang left, they all stood up, looking meaningfully at Jun Yihuan and Jun Yizheng.

Noticing the scrutinizing gazes of the officials around him, Jun Yihuan appeared to be nonchalant but his heart sank.

After leaving the hall, the princes and officials saw Jun Yizheng off one after another and bowed to him in farewell.

Jun Yihuan followed the crowd and said a few words of concern, then hurriedly left Fengtian Palace and came to Zehua Palace, where Concubine Duan lived...

Zehua Palace.

Seeing Jun Yihuan walking in hurriedly, he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Qiufeng and Qiuyue looked at each other, and one of them hurriedly went to the inner hall to invite Concubine Duan to come out, while the other hurriedly served tea to Jun Yihuan.

"Go down."

Jun Yihuan had no patience and asked everyone to leave.

"Go down."

Concubine Duan came out from the inner hall and saw Jun Yihuan like this. She waved her hand and asked everyone to go down.

Then she sat down next to Jun Yihuan and asked with a worried look, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

"Ugh."

Jun Yihuan sighed.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip to calm his anger. Then he put down the teacup and told Concubine Duan everything that had happened in the court today.

Finally, he frowned and looked at Concubine Duan in confusion, "Mother, what do you think father meant by this? I am obviously the older brother, why did he bypass me and let the third prince carry the coffin for the empress dowager?"

"And Ruan Qinghong."

Speaking of his new father-in-law, he became increasingly unhappy, "Mother, Ruan Qinghong is a slippery loach who doesn't touch either side. You want me to marry into the Ruan family, will it really work?"

"Don't worry about Ruan Qinghong. Just put pressure on Ruan Yunshan and let her go back and make trouble. Since her mother is able to gain a foothold in the Ruan family, she must have a way to convince Ruan Qinghong."

"As for your father..."

Speaking of Jun Yiguang, Concubine Duan pursed her lips and could only advise Jun Yihuan: "Yihuan, stay calm. Especially at times like this, we need to keep a steady mind..."
