The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

"Open the door and let them in." Following the Queen's order, the eunuch opened the palace door.

A group of court officials rushed over, knelt down and saluted the queen: "Your Highness, we pay our respects to you."

"Please stand up quickly, my ministers." The queen's voice was calm and gentle, but her eyes revealed a barely perceptible nervousness.

She knew the purpose of these court officials coming here, and she also understood that she had to face this problem. However, when she saw that all the officials were kneeling and no one stood up, the queen couldn't help but feel nervous.

"What are you doing, my ministers?" The queen frowned and tried her best to keep her tone calm and composed.

"Why can't you stand up and say it?" She tried to speak to everyone in a dignified tone, but the anxiety in her heart was gradually emerging.

The Queen knew that if she showed too much panic or helplessness at this moment, it might cause more chaos and controversy.

Therefore, she tried hard to suppress her inner anxiety and maintain her calmness and composure on the surface. But in fact, her heartbeat had begun to speed up, her palms were slightly sweaty, and her thoughts became a little confused.

"Empress, the Crown Prince has passed away and the Emperor is in imminent danger. Please make the decision and appoint a crown prince as soon as possible." One of the powerful old ministers advised. His voice was low and firm, full of earnestness.

Hearing this, the queen's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

She took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and then slowly said, "I wonder how did you know that the emperor was in danger, Prime Minister?"

Her voice was full of pressure, and the questioning tone was obvious.

"Empress, this is very simple. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Emperor's only son, and the Emperor did not even attend the Crown Prince's funeral. If the Emperor is in good health, please ask the Emperor to come out and give instructions to everyone." The Prime Minister spoke with certainty, waiting to see how the Empress would respond.

The queen was a little overwhelmed by the prime minister's words at the moment. Just when she was panicking, the voice outside the door made her feel confident.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, my father is just too sad and temporarily unconscious. Can Your Excellency Prime Minister, facing the pain of losing his son, still calmly stand up and handle his funeral affairs?" Princess Yueyao, who was speaking, walked in calmly from outside.

"You...Princess, please be careful with your words. I am an important official of the court no matter what. How can a young girl like you speak nonsense here?" The Prime Minister was so angry at Yue Yao's words that he was incoherent.

"My Lord Prime Minister...you are the one who should be careful with your words. What are you going to do? Are you going to commit insubordination? After all, the princess is a member of the royal family and she is the monarch, and you are the minister. How dare you speak wildly and insult the princess? What is your intention?" The queen was so angry that she questioned directly.

The prime minister then came to his senses from his anger. Now was not the time to turn against them, so he kowtowed and apologized.

"Your Highness, Queen, Your Highness, I just spoke without thinking. Please forgive me, Queen. I heard the princess insult me ​​first, so I spoke rudely in a hurry. I know I am guilty. Please report to the emperor and ask the emperor to punish me. I am willing to accept the punishment."

"The Prime Minister is very calculating. He knew that the Emperor would not be able to punish you, so you pretended to accept the punishment." The Queen no longer cared about the Prime Minister's face and directly criticized the Prime Minister.

If her daughter is provoked, even if she is a coward, she will provide for her daughter.

"What are you saying, Your Majesty? Has the Queen forgotten that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs?" The Prime Minister said proudly.

"For the sake of my daughter, I will punish you today. What do you think?"

"Are you going to depose me on behalf of the Emperor?" the Queen roared in rage. She was so angry that she had completely lost her mind.

This roar shocked everyone present, and the prime minister was left speechless.

At this moment, the other ministers realized that things had reached a stalemate, and everyone had his own plans in mind.

The Minister was the first to break the silence. He quickly spoke up to relieve the situation and said, "Empress, please calm down! Today is the day of the Crown Prince's funeral, and the Emperor is unconscious due to excessive grief. The court is in need of people, and we need to unite as one to overcome the difficulties. I hope that the Empress will temporarily forgive the Prime Minister. After all matters are settled, the Empress will make the decision for the princess and investigate and punish the Prime Minister's mistakes. Please put the overall situation first, and don't make mistakes because of a momentary impulse!"

After hearing what the Shangshu said, the other ministers kowtowed and agreed, expressing their agreement with the Shangshu's opinion.

However, Princess Yueyao saw through these people's minds - they were just a group of people who were in cahoots with each other and were corrupt and colluded with each other.

On the surface, they tried to persuade the Queen to consider the overall situation, but in reality they wanted to use this opportunity to make things difficult for the mother and daughter.

Faced with this situation, Princess Yueyao couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

She shook her head gently at the Queen, with a hint of determination and confidence in her eyes, then nodded slightly and gave the Queen a reassuring look, indicating that everything was under control.

Then, she slowly turned around, facing the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a low and powerful voice: "My Lords, you kneel down like this to force me and my mother to give up, what is your intention?"

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as she scanned every minister, making them feel fearful.

Then, she turned around again and faced the queen, saying firmly, "Mother, we are alone here and it is difficult for us to fight against these ministers. Since they like to kneel, let them do it. I am willing to accompany you to visit the emperor, and wait for him to recover, and then he will make the decision for us."

As Yue Yao spoke, she kept winking at the Queen, signaling her to cooperate with her plan.

The queen immediately understood her daughter's intention, nodded in agreement, and echoed: "Yes... Your father has just fallen ill, and his ministers can't wait to unite and bully us orphans and widows. Is there any justice in this world?"

The queen pretended to be aggrieved and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she had really suffered great injustice.

Yue Yao stepped forward and supported the Queen, walking towards the Emperor's bedroom. The remaining group of old ministers knelt in the main hall of the bedroom, unable to kneel or stand up.

All the ministers cast inquiring glances at the prime minister, who lowered his head in thought as to how to break the impasse next.

What the prime minister had not expected was that he had never imagined that the queen and her daughter would be so difficult to deal with. Just a few unreasonable words from them had cornered the ministers.
