Marrying the dandy prince, the princess wants to usurp the throne

Mu Jiusheng smiled like a little fox.

Ji Huaiyu also laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere became relaxed under such leadership.

But Mu Qilin's life was not easy. Not long after Mu Jiusheng became the Princess Protector of the Nation, Mu Yuchuan issued an abdication decree and let Mu Jiusheng succeed to the throne.

This news shocked everyone inside and outside the court.

Even if Mu Jiusheng is the Princess Protector of the Nation, she is a princess after all. How can a woman become an emperor?

Almost 80% of the people disagreed with this decision, and the remaining 20% ​​of the neutrals said that it had nothing to do with them. After all, they knew Mu Jiusheng's ability. Princess Jinghe was very capable among all the princes and princesses. With her leadership, Chong'an Kingdom would naturally prosper.

"Father! Why did you let Mu Jiusheng be the emperor? I am clearly your crown prince!

Since ancient times, the crown prince has always succeeded to the throne. It has never been the turn of a princess to succeed to the throne."

Mu Qilin ignored Shangguan Yu's dissuasion and rushed directly into the imperial study.

Mu Yuchuan couldn't help laughing as he looked at the prince to whom he had given almost all the best teaching resources in the palace since he was a child.

"Mu Qilin, do you know where you are inferior to Jinghe?"

"Why would Father compare Cheng with Jinghe? Jinghe is just a princess. And I am the only man in the palace, and also the only prince."

"No, it's not that you don't want to compete, it's that you don't dare to compete. You know in your heart that you are a million miles behind Jinghe. You can't compare with her in strategy, you can't compare with her in mind, and do you have the loyalty?"

Mu Yuchuan stared at Mu Qilin.

Mu Qilin raised his head suddenly, "Father, you..."

"I know you always think I'm too strict with you. But why don't you think about it? The reason why I'm so strict with you is because you have always been the future heir in my heart. What's more, I have already written the edict, and you are the best candidate for the succession. From childhood to adulthood, when did I not teach you? I trained you to be the crown prince and the future heir.

But what about you? How did you treat me? I believe you know everything, you, your mother, and your sister. Can any of you three pat your chest and say to me that you don't know what your mother did? "

Mu Yuchuan was just speaking frankly now. Anyway, his health was getting worse day by day. He had come to see him and said that it would take at most three months. Now a month and a half had passed. With the remaining month and a half, he had to do something, at least to let the Shangguan family know the consequences of betraying him.

Mu Qilin knelt on the ground suddenly. "Father, you are wise, but I really don't know. I will go back and ask Mother what she did. But Father, Mother's affairs have nothing to do with me. How can I stop Mother from doing what she wants to do if I don't know it?"

"Don't you really know? I went to see your mother that day, and I heard the conversation between the three of you clearly. Are you going to tell me that the person in there was not you but your substitute?"

It was a coincidence that he wanted to test Shangguan Yu's attitude and see whether he was affectionate or ruthless towards him. But he didn't expect to hear such a chilling conversation before he even entered.

From that day on, he decided that Mu Jiusheng would be his successor.

Mu Qilin fell to the ground. He had never expected that things would end like this. He had already prepared himself to be the emperor. He had even thought about what he would do after becoming the emperor. But now he was told that it was just a dream. Although he was the prince, he would never be the emperor. How could he accept this?

"Father, father, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please give me a chance, okay? I promise I will never do it again!!!"

"Opportunity? I'll give you a chance. Who will give me a chance? Do you know that your mother poisoned me so that I only have a month and a half to live? After a month and a half, I will pass away. Then it will be time for you to ascend the throne, right?"

Mu Yuchuan looked at Mu Qilin with a chill in his heart.

If the Shangguan family hadn't been seeking their own death, they could have waited until nature took its course to let Mu Qilin ascend the throne, but they just couldn't wait and were eager to get their hands on the hot tofu.

It was his fault that he didn't know people well enough to let the Shangguan family take advantage of the loophole.

"Come here, bring the prince back to me. He is not allowed to leave until the new emperor ascends the throne."

Mu Yuchuan still had feelings for Mu Qilin, after all, he was the child he had raised since childhood, but his behavior really disappointed him. But Mu Yuchuan still didn't want Mu Qilin to die. After Jinghe took office, he would let him take a sinecure.

……

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince was upset and hanged himself last night."

Mu Qilin had been praised since he was a child. Everyone said that he had the qualifications to be an emperor, and he always thought that he was the future emperor. However, this sudden change dealt a heavy blow to his self-esteem. He simply could not accept this outcome, and did not want to see everyone mocking him.

He didn't want to wait for Mu Jiusheng to punish him. Although his father didn't do anything to him, how could she not do anything to him after he, Mu Jiusheng, became the emperor? He knew very well what the Shangguan family had done to Mu Jiusheng and Shi Jin. If he were Mu Jiusheng, he would not have done anything to him.

"Qi Lin! Qi Lin!!! Why are you so depressed? If you have anything to say, tell me. Can't I solve it for you? Why do you want to leave alone like this?"

When Mu Yuchuan arrived, Shangguan Yu was lying on Mu Qilin's body crying bitterly.

She simply couldn't accept Mu Qilin's death.

Without Mu Qilin, how could she be the queen mother and live a good life? !

Let Mu Yingluo come?

But Mu Yingluo's personality makes it impossible for her to be an emperor!

Could it be that she really wanted to let that bitch Shi Jin get away with it? ! ! !

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived." The palace maid next to her reminded her.

But she immediately pushed him away.

"Don't mention His Majesty to me. If it weren't for His Majesty, how could my son die? It's all because of him. He was partial to that little bitch Mu Jiusheng, so he killed my son. I want him to pay for my son's life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the servants in the room knelt down. My God, what the imperial concubine said was too scary, she said in front of the people below that the emperor should pay with his life.

"Haven't you been wanting to kill me for a long time? What's the meaning of asking me to pay with my life now? You want me to die a few days earlier, right?"

There was no trace of sympathy in Mu Yuchuan's eyes.

Shangguan Yu was stunned, "You..."

"What? Are you surprised? Do you think you poisoned me and I wouldn't even know?"
