Quickly wear the host, don't panic, the person hasn't run far yet

Emperor Qingyuan felt his eyes twitching, and the uneasiness became more and more intense, making him feel like a thorn in his back.

Something is wrong. Something is wrong with everyone today...

He looked around at the people in the hall who had different expressions.

Finally, it fell on Luochen beside him, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

He clenched his fingers, but ultimately did not interrupt Concubine Qi.

He also wanted to know what this usually silent man wanted to do today.

There was a long silence.

Luo Chen added some new water into Mu Wanxi's teacup and tested the temperature before slowly raising his head.

"I wonder what the queen wants to verify?"

The tone was calm, without the slightest disturbance.

Although it was a question, he seemed to have no interest in it.

However, Concubine Qi didn't seem to care about his attitude. She just moved her eyes and talked to herself.

"I once heard about something concerning the Regent..."

Having said this, Concubine Qi deliberately paused, as if she was thinking about her wording, and then continued.

"Rumors about royal secrets..."

"The late emperor left a will for this purpose, which is hidden behind the plaque in this hall."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

Emperor Qingyuan could no longer control himself and stood up with shock in his eyes.

His lips trembled uncontrollably.

"What did you say? What will?"

How come he never knew...

Concubine Qi turned around, faced Emperor Qingyuan, and bowed slightly.

He was still polite and spoke slowly and calmly.

"I was fortunate enough to serve the late emperor in my early years, and I knew a little about this rumor at that time..."

She raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Qingyuan.

"It seems... related to the royal bloodline."

There was a hint of uncertainty in Concubine Qi's tone, as if she was hesitating whether she should say it in front of everyone.

Faced with her obvious implication, everyone was horrified.

They all turned their eyes to the regent standing aside.

But her gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Chen Quan who was standing next to Emperor Qingyuan.

Emperor Qingyuan frowned, followed her line of sight with a puzzled look, and also looked at Chen Quan standing beside her.

Feeling the gaze of Emperor Qingyuan, Chen Quan bowed and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

His brows unconsciously furrowed slightly.

After a while, he nodded imperceptibly.

Emperor Qingyuan frowned even more tightly.

The anxiety and doubts in my heart became even greater.

When he first heard the will, he was shocked.

He thought that his eccentric father, who had died many years ago, had left some trick for his beloved youngest son to use against him.

But Concubine Qi said it was a royal secret? It's about the royal bloodline...

But it doesn't seem to be what I thought.

However, since there was a will, why didn't he know about it?

Chen Quan has been with me for many years and knows about this, so why doesn't he tell me?

He looked at the people around him with suspicion.

Chen Quan seemed to feel the suspicious gaze of Emperor Qingyuan.

After thinking for a moment, he replied in a embarrassed tone.

"Your Majesty, the late emperor did leave a will under the plaque in this hall, but I do not know the specific contents."

"Moreover, the late emperor once said clearly that this will..."

Seeing Chen Quan speaking hesitantly and stammering.

Emperor Qingyuan suddenly felt the suppressed anger in his heart growing stronger and stronger, and he snorted impatiently.

"What about this will? Tell me now!"

Chen Quan bowed again and then spoke in a hesitant voice.

"The late emperor once said that if the regent does not live past the age of eighteen, there is no need to issue this summons."

"If the Prince Regent safely celebrates his eighteenth birthday, then this will can be taken out and announced to the world."

"That's why I think it's unnecessary..."

At this point Chen Quan seemed to suddenly realize that something was wrong with the situation and suddenly stopped talking.

He lowered his head in fear, not daring to look at Emperor Qingyuan again.

His words had once again stirred up a commotion in the hall.

The ministers could no longer hold back and all of them frowned and talked a lot.

They whispered to each other and guessed what the content of the will might be.

It was the Regent's eighteenth birthday party.

If we follow the late emperor's last words, then after today, the will must be announced to the world.

Emperor Qingyuan only felt a buzzing in his head and a splitting headache.

My mind was like an exploding paste, a mess.

If his good brother died, what kind of will would not need to be produced?

Is it really just about royal secrets?

If not...

Can he afford the gamble?

Because of what they did to the Regent.

Did Chen Quan know that he wouldn't live past the age of 18, so he felt there was no need to mention it to himself?

But now, the matter of the will has been mentioned.

If the will is not produced today, according to the late emperor's last words, it must be made public tomorrow.

By then, will he become more passive than he is now?

After all, today, he was prepared...

No, it would be better to take advantage of the situation before the will is announced, and then read it alone afterwards.

By then, no matter what the above content is, it will no longer pose a threat to him.

This is the safest way...

Just when Emperor Qingyuan was lost in thought and hesitant.

Concubine Qi suddenly came closer and Emperor Qingyuan looked at her suspiciously.

Concubine Qi, however, whispered something in his ear with a serious look on her face.

After hearing this, Emperor Qingyuan's eyes widened with astonishment.

He looked at Concubine Qi in disbelief.

Concubine Qi nodded at Emperor Qingyuan with a determined look.

"Your Majesty, please trust me."

Emperor Qingyuan had a gloomy face, and his expression seemed a little uncertain as the candlelight flickered.

When Concubine Qi was a palace maid, she did serve the late emperor closely for a long time.

Later he was assigned to his palace.

Who knows, maybe she really knows some secrets that others don't know.

And she had no reason to deceive herself.

It would do her no good to deceive herself.

On the contrary, the purpose of her action is not difficult to guess.

He must want to use this incident to gain credit for himself.

Help me to overthrow the Regent.

It will also pave the way for her and her son's future...

After all, only if he holds this position firmly, her son will have a chance to inherit the throne...

She's not the type to do something stupid that would dig her own grave...

The main thing is.

For him, this matter was too tempting.

If it’s true…

He could then solve the problem of the Regent, who was a major concern of his, without bloodshed.

I won't be branded as someone who harms my brothers and sisters...

"The regent is not of the previous emperor's bloodline."

These few short words kept echoing in the ears of Emperor Qingyuan.

Like the devil's whisper, full of temptation.

It almost made him lose the ability to continue thinking.

The late emperor had a son in his old age...

Is the one he got really his own son?

Emperor Qingyuan's eyes flickered with a hint of excitement.

He wants to take a gamble.

With a wave of long sleeves.

"Come here, take down the will."

Chen Quan stood there without moving, his facial expression hidden in the darkness, no emotion visible.

The guards brought a ladder.

Only then did Chen Quan lower his head and walked over.

He slowly climbed up the ladder and personally took down the edict that had been sealed for many years.

Carefully wipe off the dust with your sleeve.

Holding the will in both hands, he walked back to Emperor Qingyuan respectfully.

Emperor Qingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a flickering fire in his eyes.

He glanced at the Regent who was still calm and kept himself out of the matter.

He snorted coldly.

"Xuan."
