Qin Chen nodded and took them away.

It will soon be bright.

The Queen Mother and the Empress did not sleep the whole night.

Prince Yin and Prince Ze had high fevers, but the imperial doctors were very skilled and quickly brought their temperatures down and their conditions stabilized.

The cabinet ministers, the six ministers and others were guarding in the side hall, and they were also very confused.

Now that the emperor has passed away, what should they do?

Lord Pei's proposal was just rejected, and he is extremely worried now.

If Prince Fu cannot take the throne, then Prince Heng should be promoted?

His eyes turned to Prince An who was not far away. Prince An had a gloomy face and did not speak.

"Your Highness, it is already dawn. What should we do? Please issue an order."

Lord Liu spoke.

He was not a member of any faction, but a neutral one. Now that the emperor had passed away, even if he did not announce it to the world, he had to come up with a set of rules.

"Empress Dowager, I also think what Lord Liu said is very true. Now that the emperor is like this, if we don't appoint a crown prince, I'm afraid it will be easy to cause trouble."

Minister Gu listened to what these adults said. In fact, he also had some thoughts in his mind. But he couldn't say it now. If he said it and failed, the Gu family would be finished, and he would not be able to help Qin Chen and Zhao Er.

"From today on, Qin Chen will resume his original name, Xiao Jingchen, and the former Prince Chen will resume his original name, Qin Cheng. From now on, Prince Chen will be Xiao Jingchen, and the Prince of Qin will be Qin Cheng..."

The Queen Mother looked at Queen Zheng and said.

"What do you think, Queen?"

When Queen Zheng heard the Queen Mother's words, she immediately nodded.

"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely right. Chen'er also made great contributions in this palace coup, and his status should indeed be restored."

Of course, Queen Zheng agreed. Only when Qin Chen's status is restored and he is appointed as the crown prince, can he be included in the list. Otherwise, there will be great resistance.

Even if she and the Empress Dowager agreed, the other princes would have doubts, as would the officials.

The prince’s factions are still very powerful now.

Queen Zheng knew the strength of Qin Chen and Yun Zhao, but it would be better if there was no bloodshed.

But Prince An and Concubine Meng could not be kept.

Empress Zheng had always known that Concubine Meng had problems, and she had told the emperor before, but not openly. But the emperor thought she was jealous of Concubine Meng.

She had been heartbroken for many years. Who the emperor loved had nothing to do with her. Her sons would never come back.

She looked at the sleeping Ding Ge'er. Over the past year, she felt that Ding Ge'er was a very good person.

Smart and cute, he smiled when he saw her and the Queen Mother. He also stuck to her and the Queen Mother and let them hug him every time.

Who wouldn’t like such a smart and cute Ding brother?

If Qin Chen takes that position, Ding Ge'er will be the Crown Prince in the future.

She believed that Qin Chen and Zhao'er would teach Ding'er well, and Ding'er would definitely be a good heir.

Unlike the emperor's sons, the older ones only have fighting in their eyes and don't care about the people of the world at all.

"Your Highness the Queen Mother, Your Highness the Empress, this matter is of great importance. Please think twice."

Lord Pei knelt down first.

Several other ministers also knelt down.

"The emperor wanted to punish Qin Chen before, and now he has restored his status. Wouldn't that make the emperor restless in his grave?"

When Queen Zheng heard this, she sneered.

"Master Xiong, are you saying that the Empress Dowager and I did not listen to the Emperor? Do you want to hold the Empress Dowager and me accountable?"
