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

Everyone was attracted by the sudden sound and turned to look. They saw a man in gorgeous clothes, followed by a group of followers, walking towards them.

"General..." The man walked up to the general of the Royal Guard and nodded to him politely.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Duan!" The general of the Imperial Guard hurriedly saluted Yun Yi respectfully.

The moment Yue Yao saw Prince Duan Yunyi, everything suddenly dawned on her. She finally understood who was the manipulator behind all this.

"General... could you please allow me to say a few words to Princess Yueyao?" Yun Yi said politely to the general of the Imperial Guard.

"Of course! As long as His Royal Highness Prince Duan gives the order, I will definitely obey!" The Royal Guard general nodded in response with a flattering look on his face.

Yun Yi walked past the crowd and went straight to Yue Yao. He squatted down and stared at Yue Yao who was covered in blood.

Slowly speaking, "How could you, the princess who has always been so high and mighty, fall to such a state? You are obviously just a woman, and the kingdom of Dayu has no chance to belong to you. Why do you still insist on holding on so stubbornly?"

"How about this, you go and persuade the queen to agree to appoint a crown prince, so that Dayu's kingdom will have an heir. I can discuss with the general and let the princess go."

Although Yueyao was covered in wounds after the previous battle, her character of refusing to surrender even in death was deeply ingrained in her bones.

He glanced at Yun Yi coldly, then lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Dayu is already in your control. You can sit in that position at any time. Why do you have to do this?"

"That position is within my reach, but I don't want to cause criticism. I want to take it legitimately. Will you consider my proposal carefully?"

Yue Yao raised her head and looked at Yun Yi firmly, "I am the princess of Dayu. Even if I die, I will never betray Dayu."

Yun Yi stood up, his lips slightly raised, "Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless." He turned to the general of the Imperial Guard and ordered, "Take Princess Yueyao to the Heavenly Prison and wait for your punishment."

After Yueyao was taken away, Yun Yi's face turned gloomy. He glared at the people around him fiercely, and then ordered the followers behind him: "Go in and bring out the queen."

The prime minister and the generals of the imperial guards stood respectfully aside, allowing Yun Yi to do whatever he wanted.

Soon, the queen was dragged out by Yun Yi's men, and the follower unscrupulously threw the queen to the ground at Yun Yi's feet.

"Yun Yi, you traitor, you actually dared to usurp the throne, commit treason, murder the emperor, and hurt the princess. You are a traitor and you deserve to be torn into pieces and your entire clan exterminated." The queen listed all the crimes of Yun Yi in one go.

"Empress...I beg you to be careful with your words. I am only trying to clear the court of corrupt officials and ask the Queen to appoint a crown prince to stabilize the Dayu Kingdom. I have saved the Dayu Kingdom, so what's wrong with that?" Yun Yi defended himself.

"Major General, you describe your crimes in a righteous manner. If you want me to agree to the appointment of a crown prince, you should kill me. I will not let a traitor like you get your way." The queen said angrily.

"I still advise the queen to think carefully. After all, your only daughter is in my hands. Her life or death depends entirely on your thought." Yun Yi used the princess to threaten the queen to submit.

Yun Yi's words hit the queen's soft spot. The queen stopped insulting Yun Yi, widened her eyes, and looked at Yun Yi in horror.

"I warn you, don't hurt Yao'er. If anything happens to Yao'er, I will fight you to the death." The Queen had no choice but to die together with Yun Yi as a final resistance.

"Do you think your life is important? I want to kill you now, do you think anyone can stop me?" Yun Yi said complacently.

"Then you will kill me, right?"

"I will not let you die easily. If you can cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you are still so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."

"I am not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of your threat?" The queen was determined to die, which completely angered Yun Yi.

He suddenly drew out the long sword of his attendant and was about to stab the queen, but reason eventually overcame madness. At the last moment, he deflected the long sword in his hand a little and pierced through the queen's shoulder.

The queen screamed in pain, but Yun Yi didn't care and simply drew out the sword in his hand. When he was about to go out for the second time, he was stopped by the prime minister beside him.

"Wait a minute, Prince Duan. Now is not the time to kill him. Her mother's family has not yet submitted to you. Leaving her as a hostage will also help to make her mother's family submit."

The prime minister's words made Yun Yi stop his crazy actions.

"The Prime Minister is right. Now is not the time to kill her. Come, since the Queen is deeply in love with the Emperor, send the Queen to the Emperor's bedroom and let her accompany the Emperor well. No one is allowed to serve her and no one is allowed to give him food or drink." Yun Yi wanted to lock the Queen and the Emperor together.

The attendants behind him stepped forward, grabbed the queen lying in a pool of blood, and locked her up in the emperor's bedroom.

Then, leaving only a team of people guarding the door, he brought the prime minister and the leader of the imperial guards to the main hall and began to discuss the selection of the crown prince.

The Shangshu and others who had been accompanying the Prime Minister in the Emperor's bedroom to force the emperor to abdicate also returned to the main hall. Yun Yi stood in the center of the main hall, looking at the dragon throne so close to him, his eyes full of uncontrollable joy.

He quickly adjusted his mood, facing the courtiers in the hall, and spoke with the pressure of the royal family: "My lords, you know that the emperor is critically ill, the crown prince was assassinated, the queen fainted due to excessive grief, and the emperor has lost his other children. Dayu is leaderless. If this continues, Dayu will be in chaos. If the country is not at peace, the family will not be at peace. If Dayu is in chaos, the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity to invade. At that time, the country will be destroyed and the family will be ruined, which is something we, as ministers, do not want to see. At that time, this king would like to ask all the ministers to elect a crown prince from the royal family to inherit the throne, so as to stabilize Dayu's country."

As soon as Yun Yi finished speaking, the prime minister who was in cahoots with him immediately stood up to support Yun Yi as the crown prince.

Other officials bribed by Yun Yi stepped forward to respond and agreed to the prime minister's recommendation. In this process, nearly half of them already had supporters.

The rest are the opposition represented by the queen's mother's family and the general's family.

"Old general...you insist on opposing me becoming the crown prince. Are you harboring evil intentions? Do you want to take over Dayu's kingdom for yourself?" Yun Yi slandered the general of the current dynasty.

This caused the general's dissatisfaction, and he directly retorted: "My lord, you keep saying that I have evil intentions. In my opinion, the one with the most evil intentions is your Highness Prince Duan."

"you...."

"Old General, please be careful with your words." Fearing that Yun Yi and the general would become more hostile, the prime minister stepped out to mediate.
