Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

"what?"

"The butler is still alive?"

"Impossible, didn't he die in the imperial mausoleum?"

"How can this be?"

Some old ministers were talking about it.

Queen Zheng looked at Xiao Jingchen. She knew that Prince Chen had many things that were beneficial to him, but she didn't expect that the steward was still alive and the recorded information was still there.

"I have also invited Mr. Ren and Mr. Huang today. They used to be the prince's tutors. Although they have not been in the officialdom for many years, they can also help check whether this imperial edict is true or false..."

The butler walked in with white hair.

"This slave has met the Queen."

Looking at the steward, Queen Zheng spoke after a while.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Queen."

The steward greeted several old ministers.

"Master Pei, Master Liu, Master Xu, Prince Hong... It's been many years since we last met. I hope you are all well."

Lord Pei looked at the steward, who clearly looked very ill, but now he was standing here to testify for Prince Chen.

"The butler."

"I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect that you are still alive."

"That's good, Chief."

"It's really the steward."

Seeing the steward coming out, Prince An's face looked a little ugly. The steward was the chief eunuch in front of his father and his confidant. When his father passed away, the steward was also by his side. At that time, they suspected that his father had an imperial edict for Xiao Jingchen and had interrogated the steward.

The steward volunteered to guard the imperial mausoleum and later died in the mausoleum.

Therefore, the death of the steward was fake. Xiao Jingchen and the others had been on guard against the emperor and them a long time ago?

He underestimated Jamel Xiao and the people behind Jamel Xiao.

"My Lords, I can prove that the late emperor was conscious when he wrote this imperial edict. Not only that, the late emperor also called General Yuncheng to be beside him..."

"General Yun died a long time ago. Did you say he was there at the time?"

"You've been dead for so many years, how come you're suddenly alive again?"

"General Yun died a long time ago. Who knows if you are real or fake? Maybe you are an imposter."

Some ministers spoke loudly.

They questioned whether the steward was fake.

The steward laughed at what they said.

"Master Yang, the first reward you gave me was one hundred taels of silver, and the second reward you gave me was a gold cake. Master He, the first reward you gave me was fifty taels of silver..."

The steward pointed at a few old ministers and said.

After hearing these words, the faces of these old ministers changed.

This matter is indeed known only to them. Other outsiders will definitely not know it.

Even if one knew what a certain minister gave to the steward when they met, it would be impossible to know what so many people gave to the steward.

"You really are the steward."

"You're right."

These people didn't dare to question anymore.

A minister said again.

"Empress, although Prince Chen has the late emperor's decree, when the emperor ascends the throne, Prince Yin, Prince Ze and others should be given priority..."

"That's right. Although the imperial edict in Prince Chen's hand was written by the late emperor, its authenticity is still in doubt. In this case, why don't we let the other princes compete for the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"I second the motion. We can't just let Prince Chen be the Crown Prince. We have to give the other princes a chance as well."

"I also agree."
