The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan's hand and continued to walk out.

When the two arrived at the door of the imperial study, his voice rang out again.

"If my brother continues to delay, the Xie family's throne will probably have to change its surname."

"You used all means to obtain the emperor, are you going to give him up so easily?"

The emperor looked at Xie Lingxiao with red eyes. He called him royal brother.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he heard these two words.

"Royal brother, the Xie family's kingdom can only belong to the Xie family forever." After saying this, he straightened his dragon robe and followed in the footsteps of Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan.

The emperor looked at the two people's backs, and the corners of his lips gradually curled up.

He was very glad that he did not use any means to separate the two people in front of him.

At least when he is not around, his younger brother will have someone close to him by his side.

You won’t be lonely for the rest of your life.

When they were almost at the morning court hall, Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan slowed down their pace, and when the emperor came forward, they followed behind him.

At this time, the morning court hall had already become unusually quiet due to the departure of the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue.

All the civil and military officials in the court listened quietly to the Queen and Xie Zihan issuing orders without saying a word.

With the previous experience of the Minister of Punishments and the Minister of Revenue, no matter how much they say to stop it, the result will be the same as theirs.

Xie Zihan raised his head slightly, looked at the silence of all the civil and military officials in the court, and sneered in his heart.

They are just some profit-seeking, cowardly people.

With the news that the Minister of Punishments and the Minister of Revenue were imprisoned, they were so scared that they dared not say a word.

Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong looked at each other and turned their heads to look at the father-in-law beside them.

The young eunuch understood what he meant, slowly opened the imperial edict and read it aloud.

After the imperial edict was read, he said loudly: "Greetings to the new emperor..."

Just as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and prepared to worship, when another voice was heard outside the hall.

"The Emperor has arrived..."

"Prince Regent, the Princess Regent is here..."

The entire morning court hall suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong looked towards the entrance of the hall in shock, and the queen looked at Lu Zhong in panic.

Seeing that he was staring at the palace door, the queen pursed her lips and grabbed the hem of her clothes tightly.

The palace door opened, and the emperor walked into the hall first, followed by Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan.

All the civil and military officials in the court faced the morning sunlight and looked at the person slowly walking towards them. They could finally relax after having been worried all day.

Xie Zihan's eyes fell on Shen Jingxuan, and seeing that she didn't even look at him, the corners of his lips gradually tightened.

The emperor looked around and sneered, "In my absence, the morning court is much more lively."

The Imperial Guards had originally surrounded the ministers, but when they saw the emperor coming, they suddenly looked at Xie Zihan. When they saw him nod, the Imperial Guards made way for the emperor.

After the emperor passed by first, Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan walked forward together, and the imperial guards surrounded them again.

Xie Zihan gritted his teeth and said, "Father is not feeling well, why don't you take a rest? This place is not suitable for you to come."

The emperor sneered, "Oh? As the emperor, I am not fit to come here, so what about you?"

"As the child of Lu Zhong and the Queen, you will also have the surname Lu in the future. What is your identity standing here?"

Lu Zhong and the Queen looked suddenly at the Emperor.

He actually spoke so bluntly without caring about the dragon's body?

They had clearly told him that they would give him the antidote after today.

As long as he behaves like the emperor in the future, they will not make things difficult for him.

But seeing that the emperor seemed to not care at all, Lu Zhong and the queen's hearts sank little by little.

Does the emperor completely disregard his own health and want to break off relations with them?

Xie Zihan looked at the emperor with cold eyes: "Father, those are all false. I have always been your child."

Just one step away and you can achieve your wish.

He must not acknowledge the emperor's words at this time.

The emperor seemed not to hear it. He walked to the dragon throne and sat on it calmly.

Xie Zihan looked at the position that was within his reach and clenched his hands tightly behind his back.

Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan came and stood behind the dragon throne, watching everything quietly.

These matters should be handled by the emperor himself, and they are unwilling to interfere.

Lu Zhong glared at the queen. The queen could not bear his gaze any more, so she took a few steps forward and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you are not well yet, so you should not work too hard."

She turned to look at the guards: "Send the emperor back to the imperial study to rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, two people walked out of the imperial guards, came to the emperor and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please return to the imperial study."

The emperor suddenly laughed out loud: "Look, my guards now only obey the Queen's orders."

"Royal brother, do you think my throne is in jeopardy?"

"I'm afraid the royal family of Beiling Kingdom will have to change their surname to Lu in the future?"

If Lu Zhong had heard such words in the past, he would have knelt down to explain, but today was different.

He stood there motionless, and said softly: "Your Majesty is overthinking. After all, the Crown Prince is your heir. Even if he succeeds to the throne, the country of Beiling will still belong to the Xie family."

Now there is only one step left. It is better to have less trouble than more. Let’s wait until Xie Zihan successfully succeeds to the throne before discussing everything.

Lu Zhong didn't expect that even though the emperor was poisoned and would not live long, he would still refuse to give in.

"Royal brother, what do you think?"

"If you don't obey, just kill them. There's no need to ask so many questions."

When the emperor heard his words, his brows raised slightly. Based on his understanding of Xie Lingxiao, his brother was probably already impatient.

There was a faint smile on Shen Jingxuan's lips.

Thank you Ling Xiao indeed.

The emperor looked at the eunuch next to Xie Zihan and waved at him: "Come here, I will see what is written on your imperial edict."

The young eunuch looked at Xie Zihan and saw that he was pursing his lips and remained silent. He didn't know whether he should present it to the emperor.

Lu Zhong laughed and said, "The emperor is really in poor health. Don't you remember the imperial edict you drafted to pass on the throne?"

"The imperial edict to pass on the throne..." The emperor's voice sounded softly.

Then he chuckled and said, "I really don't remember drafting such an imperial edict. Where did you get this imperial edict?"

Under Lu Zhong's gaze, the Queen looked at the Emperor nervously: "Your Majesty, it was you who drafted it for me."

Xie Lingxiao's face was cold. He instantly came to the young eunuch and snatched the imperial edict from his hand when he was not paying attention.

The imperial edict was opened and all its contents were in sight.

After the emperor took it, he showed the imperial edict to everyone.

"Is this the imperial decree you mentioned? I have supported ministers for so many years, but I haven't even confirmed it yet. Are you in a hurry to appoint a new emperor?"

The emperor seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Xie Zihan and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you didn't find my jade seal, so what is the seal on it?"

At this time, Xie Zihan no longer cared about these things. He just stood there quietly, waiting for the emperor to finish speaking.
