Chapter 726: Not afraid of the old, but also old

"No... this is impossible..." Yuan Yun was also dumbfounded, looking at Emperor Lin and her father Yuan Chuan, "This is also deceiving the emperor, this is deceiving the emperor..."

She was deliberately scheming for no other reason. In many cases, those involved are confused while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.

Even if Yuan Yun had no good eyesight, she could tell from looking at Prince Yi and Yuan Qi that they were in love.

Therefore, seeing that her dream of being the mother of the country was about to come true, it was impossible to let others reap the benefits.

There is no doubt that the battle of the three states in northern Vietnam was a great victory.

It is almost certain that Prince Yi will ascend to the supreme throne.

As the Princess of Prince Yi, it was only a natural thing for her to become the Queen in the near future.

But Yuan Qi is still a huge threat.

This can be seen from the fact that when Prince Yi was unconscious in Yuebei, he kept calling out the name "Yuan Qi".

Yuan Qi was originally known as the "former Princess Yi", and most importantly, the two of them were still in contact.

Then even relying on Yuan's status, she could smoothly ascend to the throne of queen.

What about the future?

Yuan Yun is no longer a little girl, and preparing for a rainy day is basic knowledge.

Even if Prince Yi only has a slight thought in mind, after he ascends the throne in the future, he will have the idea of ​​restoring Yuan Qi's identity. By then, it will be too late to take action.

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

The best strategy is to nip it in the bud as early as possible.

The purpose of Yuan Yun's going to the palace today, even if she couldn't kill Yuan Qi, was to ruin her reputation and make her unable to make a comeback.

In this way, even if Prince Yi had such thoughts in the future, the royal family would oppose it, the ministers would oppose it, and the people of the world would oppose it, and Yuan Qi would not be able to enter the palace no matter what.

Emperor Lin was even more worried that he couldn't eat or spit out, and it was stuck in his chest.

Who would have thought that Prince Yi had a trick up his sleeve.

At that time, the distraught Prince Yi knelt in front of him and said that the matter should be handled in a low profile for the sake of the royal family's reputation. Since he was not feeling well at the time, he agreed.

But now?

It’s become a mess, how to clean it up?

Emperor Lin and Yuan Yun were both stunned.

Zhou Chang was even excitedly trying to find excuses: "So, there is no such thing as deceiving the emperor. What happened just now was just a farce. Since it was Prince Yi's order, Princess Yi is equivalent to returning home to visit her parents. What's wrong with that?"

"Does this make sense?" Yuan Yun's face turned pale and red with anger.

Zhou Chang didn't care: "Why can't I explain it?"

He didn't care about anything now, as if something precious that he had cherished for a long time was finally found. He thought that the whole world he had lost was all back to him just now, in Yuan Qi's eyes.

Yuan Yun's face turned pale and red, and finally a frost covered it: "Then what am I? His Royal Highness Prince Yi's promise that day is still fresh in my mind. Are you going to break your promise and gain wealth?"

Zhou Chang couldn't remember what he had promised Yuan Yun.

At this time, Yuan Chuan had to stand up to his daughter's side and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Now that His Royal Highness Prince Yi is about to discuss the succession, regardless of the past events, how can a merchant's daughter be a match for the prince?"

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Minister of Rites Shen Si also came to his senses at this moment and did not want this to happen. "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the status of merchants' daughters has been low. Even if they enter the palace as slaves, they can only be low-ranking maids, and cannot be the prince's concubine."

The Chief Censor He Tao seemed to have forgotten that it was his good son-in-law, Prince Rong, who had arranged this marriage for ulterior motives.

Now he jumped out again: "Your Majesty, the reason why we were able to grant the marriage to the Longyuyuan family was entirely because of His Royal Highness Prince Yi's benevolence and filial piety, and he wanted to bring good luck to Your Majesty's health. However, virtue is unworthy of the position, and that's why the disaster happened later."

After these two people said this, the other ministers began to discuss whether their identities were suitable.

Zhou Chang watched coldly and couldn't help but think that this was indeed the work of Prince Rong.

Now that I think about it, Prince Rong must have used some means to make her drunk and unable to speak at the New Year's Eve banquet, and then he used his status as the eldest brother to make this happen.

It's really far-reaching and sinister.

It's true that old tricks are not afraid of being old...

But it's just an old trick.

Haha, Zhou Chang sneered in his heart.

Seeing that the topic was being led off track, Zhou Chang pulled it back: "Father, since there is no disobedience or deception, then there is no need to discuss this matter anymore. After all, today is a grand court meeting, and this is a solemn and majestic court. The private affairs of young men and women should be put aside for the time being."

Before the Emperor could speak, another imperial censor stepped forward and said, "Your Highness Prince Yi, please allow me to report that there are no private affairs in the royal family. Family affairs are state affairs, and state affairs are family affairs. Moreover, your status is different now, so you should be more cautious in everything you do."

Liu Mu, the Tianjian Division who had not spoken for a long time, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I observed the celestial phenomena last night. Ziwei disappeared, Taiyi appeared, and Taiyi shone in response to Ziwei. This is a sign from the heavens that the crown prince will be chosen soon, and they are here to protect me."

Yuan Chuan, the Imperial Household Official, added at the right time: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a good omen. In order to rectify the country and reassure the people, please appoint a crown prince as soon as possible."

As soon as Yuan Chuan spoke, the other court officials all agreed.

Zhou Chang saw clearly that everything was orchestrated by Yuan Chuan.

Even if his daughter had not caused the previous incident, this one would have happened.

Emperor Lin also knew this would happen, or rather, he had already accepted his fate after losing two sons in succession.

If you think about it carefully, Prince Yi is actually the one who is most like his son. He has no other problems. He is just a little greedy for money. So what's a big deal?

Thinking this way, the Emperor was more receptive to the situation. He looked back and forth between Zhou Chang, Yuan Yun, and Yuan Qi: "Crown Prince, Crown Princess... The Crown Princess is the future Queen, so we should not be careless about her."

The former imperial censor immediately took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, the current Princess Yi is the daughter of the Grand Housekeeper Yuan Chuan. She comes from a famous family and has a noble character."

Zhou Chang understood.

If Prince Yi becomes the crown prince, he must take Yuan Yun as his crown princess.

But now is not the time to discuss whether or not to be the crown prince. She must first free Yuan Qi from the charges that Yuan Yun has put on him.

Therefore, Zhou Chang forced the topic back again: "Father, no matter what, what just happened was a farce. I hope you can clear the name of the Yuan family."

The air was silent and Emperor Lin was in a dilemma.

If Yuan Qi is said to be innocent, it would be tantamount to admitting that Prince Yi has not yet deposed his concubine.

If he is guilty, look at Prince Yi's expression. He has already taken the blame and will definitely not compromise.

At this moment, Yuan Qi suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, whether you divorce me or not, since things have come to this point today, I dare to ask to leave. I wonder if Your Majesty will allow it?"

"What?" Zhou Chang thought he had heard it wrong.

Yuan Qi smiled at her again: "Your Highness, there is a huge difference between you and me, and this has been an indisputable fact since the beginning. The reason why I left was clearly written in the letter I left, and Your Highness should also understand it. Today, my father's revenge has been avenged, and I will be grateful if I can regain my innocence. The Yuan family is now in ruins and Yuan Jie is not yet an adult. Since I promised my father to take over the Yuan family, I will not give up easily."
