In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Mu Jinan wanted to wait a little longer, but she knew that if the emperor wanted to kill her subject, he would not drag out the fight for a long time. He would just kill everyone in the middle of the night, confiscate their property and exterminate their entire family. So she had no choice but to strike first.

Zezhou told her all this, and Emperor Ming had long wanted to kill her.

It turned out that Li Huaijin had been caring about her behind her back, not letting her go to the execution ground or chase her out of the city, all for her.

But it's too late.

The palace was solemn and dignified, and the silence was dull. Emperor Ming sat on the golden dragon throne, his hair was gray, and he supported himself on the throne with one hand. He coughed a few times and spoke slowly:

"Crown Prince Li Xu is kindhearted and good at governing the country. I am old now, and I will abdicate. Crown Prince Li Xu will succeed me. The new emperor will ascend the throne. I hope all of you will assist me wholeheartedly."

The ministers were horrified. Why would Emperor Ming suddenly abdicate?

"His Majesty"

"Want to abdicate?"

"Your Majesty, this is true."

Prime Minister Lin looked at Emperor Ming with a strange expression. If Emperor Ming died, he would definitely be held accountable by Crown Prince Li Xu. He pointed at Mu Jinan and said:

"Minister Mu, you dare to murder the emperor!"

Cui Hengling had been an experienced official for many years and was well-informed. When he saw Emperor Ming's dull expression and dull speech, he immediately became suspicious:

"Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to abdicate? Did Mu Jinan do something to you just now?"

He Qiushan looked at Emperor Ming without saying a word, lowered his eyes and thought quietly. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Hechuan knew that there was a rare and magical secret medicine in the world, and Li Heng had given it to him. He asked:

"Your Majesty, can you call out my name?"

Everyone stared at Emperor Ming's lips, wanting to ask for confirmation. The imperial guards and imperial guards in the distance clenched the hilts of their swords.

Wait.

Emperor Ming looked at the face of Crown Prince Li Xu, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he muttered:

"He Qiushan"

Jiang Yin was puzzled. Although Emperor Ming was old, his voice was a little too weak. He glanced at Mu Jinan. He was just talking about her marriage, but now Emperor Ming suddenly abdicated. He said in a vigilant tone:

"Mu Jinan, what did you do to His Majesty?"

Mu Jinan approached Jiang Yin and looked at him, a man in his forties or fifties, who had no judgment and pointed his finger at Li Huaijin and her without knowing right from wrong. She spoke sharply:

"Jiang Yin, do you know who killed your son?"

"You always thought it was Li Huaijin?"

"I'm telling you, it was your Majesty and Prince Rui who caused your son to commit treason. He should have been punished along with his entire clan. Sparing your life is a blessing."

Jiang Yin's eyes widened and his pupils contracted, unwilling to believe it. He had once saved Emperor Ming, and it was Emperor Ming who promised him that he would not kill Jiang Xianzhi.

Mu Jinan pressed on step by step, his young face filled with endless power, and every word he spoke was majestic and intimidating:

"Your Majesty wants to abdicate, and all the ministers have listened to him. You are disrespectful to the new emperor by questioning him like this, and you should be killed."

Jiang Yin pointed at her, his fingers trembling, and shook his head. He didn't believe that Emperor Ming would suddenly abdicate. They were clearly discussing how to send Mu Jinan to marry in the palace last night:

"You are trying to usurp the throne"

Crown Prince Li Xu raised his eyelids, then lowered his eyes in thought, with a slight smile on his lips. He pulled out the sharp blade of the imperial guard, held the sword in his hand, and came in front of Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin watched the Emperor Ming motionless, and heard Mu Jinan say that it was the Emperor Ming and Li Heng who killed Jiang Xianzhi. He was terrified. Why did the other court officials remain silent when the Emperor Ming abdicated? Did they discuss this in advance?

"Your Highness, you are forcing the emperor to abdicate. Can you stop the people from talking nonsense?"

Li Xu raised his eyebrows, and his hand holding the sword loosened a little. His former kindness was gone. He looked at Cui Hengling with cold eyes:

"Sir Cui, if you can kill Jiang Yin, I will make you the prime minister."

Mu Jinan was suddenly shocked. Looking at him, it seemed that he was not the same prince as before. When did Li Xu collude with Cui Hengling? Cui Hengling was a treacherous villain. He was appointed as prime minister. Wasn't it agreed that Master Meng would be the prime minister?

She was just about to speak.

Cui Hengling walked over, took the sword, expressionless. Jiang Yin looked at him in disbelief. Wasn't he from the same faction as him?

Shen Yuzhong behind him was trembling with fear. Seeing that the imperial guards and imperial guards had all changed their faces today, he didn't dare to say a word and just wanted to protect himself.

Seeing that the situation was already decided, Prime Minister Lin had no choice but to endure it and look for another opportunity.

Jiang Yin was also quite smart. Seeing that the others did not dare to speak, he also knew that several generals with heavy troops were related to Mu Jinan.

He wanted to find out who killed his son. He couldn't just die without knowing why. He suddenly knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome the new emperor. Long live Your Majesty."

In an instant.

In the Xuan Zheng Hall, officials in purple, scarlet, dark green, and turquoise uniforms knelt on the ground.

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty"

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty"

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty"

The sound echoed throughout the hall and lingered in the ears for a long time.

Mu Jinan breathed a sigh of relief, finally she didn't have to go for the marriage. She propped herself up and knelt in the hall. Mu Jingyi, Mu Chen, Jiang Yanqing and others showed joy on their faces.

Mu Jinan's mind was filled with Li Huaijin's shadow. She wondered how he was doing when he traveled back in time, and whether he listened to her...

Prince of Qi Li Che was extremely grateful at this moment. He had listened to Mu Jinan's words and did not oppose Crown Prince Li Xu anymore. Otherwise, the first thing Li Xu would have done after ascending the throne would have been to kill him.

Now Li Che only accompanies Princess Lu Zhifu, enjoying the family happiness, not participating in court battles, and being an idle prince.

Prince Chen Li Shaoqin recalled that day at Li Che's birthday party, he had instigated the prince by saying that the prince was busy with government affairs and would not come to Li Che's birthday party. At this moment he felt uneasy and his back was bent lower than others.

Crown Prince Li Xu waved his sleeves and walked towards Emperor Ming, hiding the joy and excitement in his eyes.

He is the Son of Heaven. His father has finally abdicated and he has the power of life and death. When the Emperor is angry, millions of people will die. This is the respect that everyone has for him.

Li Xu pursed his lips slightly, looking at the civil and military officials kneeling in submission, his eyes were stern and domineering:

"My dear ministers, please stand up."

Everyone stood up. Shen Yuzhong didn't want to let Mu Jinan go. He had already received the imperial edict:

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued two imperial decrees, naming Mu Jinan as Princess Yifang and the imperial clan member Huaiyu as Princess Jingle."

Mu Jinan just wanted to kill this traitor with one sword, as keeping him alive would only cause endless trouble. Mu Jingyi stood up, pointed at Shen Yuzhong, and said indignantly:

"The Emperor has just discussed the marriage with his court officials, but has not yet made a decision. The new Emperor has ascended the throne. Where did you get the imperial edict? Did you forge it?"

Cui Hengling looked at Li Xu, then at Mu Jinan. No matter what the new emperor was like, he could not do without the support of the Qinghe Cui family, the aristocratic family. Since the new emperor gave him the position of prime minister, it meant that he trusted him.

Emperor Ming has abdicated, and he should support a new emperor and establish his own prestige.

Cui Hengling said sternly: "General Mu, the imperial edict has been issued. It is written by the retired emperor and is also stamped with the retired emperor's jade seal."

Mu Jingyi gnashed his teeth in hatred. Why did Li Xu let Cui Hengling be the prime minister? He felt uneasy and turned to look at Li Xu:

"Your Majesty, the world is at peace, there is no need to send the princess to marry, please withdraw your order."

Mu Jinan looked at Li Xu, and the two looked at each other.

She raised her eyelids and her eyebrows slightly raised.

She said nothing, as if she was waiting.
