The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

late at night.

Yichun Palace.

Qin Wan's delivery room was arranged in Yichun Palace.

After all, Cheng'en Hall was Zhao Zhen's palace, and Cheng'en Hall was not as big as Yichun Palace, which had more houses.

Qin Wan can change rooms every day.

The little lion also felt that the atmosphere in the palace was very strange. He slept next to Qin Wan, "Mother!"

Qin Wan just turned her head and glanced at her eldest son. It was already very difficult for her to turn around.

"what happened?"

The little lion asked curiously, "Why do they all say that Daddy is dead? My friend just sent me the news today!"

Qin Wan touched the little lion's head and said, "Those people are bad people. They hope your father is gone."

"Mother, I will go tell them that Daddy is alive and well and is about to attack the Hu people's lair, okay? This way, Grandpa Huang will wake up!"

After Zhao Zhen went to war, the little lion sent his companions to chase his father.

Therefore, the little lion knew Zhao Zhen's whereabouts.

Qin Wan shook her head and made a shushing gesture, "Don't tell anyone in this palace except mother, don't tell anyone, understand?"

The emperor is already in a coma, and he won't be able to hear even if we talk to him now.

Given the current situation, we still have to see what attitudes the ministers in the court have.

The second prince was released by the queen, and Qin Wan also knew the news.

Qin Wan no longer wanted to pay attention to the queen who was only a hindrance.

Now it depends on what the second prince does. She wants to see how many people in the court have defected to him.

Keeping the Second Prince around will always be a trouble. The old emperor and Zhao Zhen might spare his life out of kinship.

But I can’t!

Only if the second prince made a move would she have a reason to get rid of him.

It all depends on whether he has any conscience left.

The little lion was puzzled, "Why? Even Second Grandfather won't tell me?"

Qin Wan thought of Uncle Zhao's family and shook her head, "No, Uncle Zhao is not allowed to tell anyone."

"OK then!"

"Little lion, someone is trying to harm us in secret. Mother will take advantage of this period of time to catch all those hiding in the dark. Do you understand?"

The little lion was a little excited, "Okay, the little lion also likes the game of catching bad guys!"

Qin Wan rubbed her son's big head and said, "It's getting dark, go to bed!"

The little lion nodded, "Okay!"

He arched his little body towards Qin Wan.

Thinking of the baby in her belly, he stretched out his little hand and patted it gently, "Brothers, you have to be good!"

As if it heard what the little lion said, a small footprint appeared on its belly and gently bumped the little lion's hand.

The little lion's eyes sparkled, "Mom, my brothers understand, hehe!"

Qin Wan smiled slightly. This pregnancy was too difficult.

I really can't always have children in the future.

The movements in the East Palace still attract a lot of attention from outsiders.

Ever since the Crown Princess launched the operation, people inside and outside the palace have been paying close attention to the news.

But the Crown Princess's belly was like she was pregnant with Nezha. It had been three days and still no result.

Zhu Lianmeng of Yiqiu Palace was also anxious, "Go and ask again, is there really no movement?"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess' stomach hurts for a while and then gets better. She hasn't given birth yet!"

Aunt Huan said at this time: "My lady, some women may give birth for three days and three nights, but for women like this, nine out of ten times they will be in danger."

Eunuch Ying said, "The master has already sent a message. He will come in person when the time comes. The East Palace must be dealt with thoroughly."

Zhu Lianmeng glanced at Eunuch Ying and said, "With Eunuch here, Qin Shi can't escape even if she has wings."

Eunuch Ying smiled slightly.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

High-ranking officials from the three provinces and six ministries were all there, because the emperor had been in a coma for three days. If he had been in a coma for so long, he was probably in great danger.

Now the court needs to come up with a set of rules.

Yanmen was lost, General Wang was killed in battle, and the prince was missing in Shangjun. Now the court needs to send another general to fight the enemy.

He also sent people to search for the prince's whereabouts, wanting to find him alive or dead.

In addition to these things, the most important thing is to discuss the new candidate for crown prince.

To discuss the candidate for the crown prince, the queen was also invited.

She listened to the ministers talking about searching for the prince's body and finally realized that her eldest son was gone.

And it seems that the throne will be transferred to the second prince.

Duke Su said at this time: "I think the second prince is the most suitable candidate. When your majesty was conquering the world, although the second prince did not have as many military exploits as the crown prince, he also made contributions.

And he is now the oldest prince of His Majesty!"

At this time, Grand Tutor Yuan stood up and said, "Duke Su is wrong. The prince is only missing, and his body has not been found. Moreover, Your Majesty is only unconscious. It is not appropriate to mention the matter of establishing a new monarch at this time!"

At this time, the Minister of Personnel Wang Zhaoqi stood up and objected, "Grand Master Yuan, Duke Su's concerns are true. At this time, Yan State needs someone to stand up and take charge of the situation.

The emperor has only three sons. If the crown prince is not here, the second prince is the most suitable."

The queen was unhappy at this time, "I already have the third prince, why should I choose the second prince?"

The queen now understood that the second prince wanted to fight for the throne.

The queen's eyes are now red from crying. She is in her forties and has always been a beauty. She is almost two generations older than the aged emperor.

Wang Zhaoqi took a step back and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince has a flaw on his face and cannot be the new crown prince of the Yan Dynasty."

Queen: “.........”

The queen was unhappy, "What a bullshit rule! I will choose my third son as the new crown prince!"

Ministers: “..........”

All the ministers think that it is right that women cannot participate in state affairs, which is completely nonsense.

Yuan Taishi was an old-fashioned man. Although he did not agree with the proposals of Duke Su and others, he also did not like women interfering in politics. "Empress, the selection of the crown prince concerns the country and the people. It cannot be treated lightly!"

The queen was very stubborn. "Since my son can't do it, I still have my grandson. Little Lion is the prince's legitimate son. After the emperor dies, my grandson will be the prince!"

The Queen no longer has any feelings for the Emperor. Her red eyes were all from crying for her eldest son.

Minister Lu stood up at this time and said, "I think what the Queen said is right. The Emperor's grandson is very talented at such a young age. And Your Majesty has said before that the eldest grandson can be a candidate for the Crown Prince."

Although there is only one character difference between the emperor's grandson and the crown prince's grandson, their identities are different.

At this time, the officials from various departments who stayed here had indeed heard of it.

Although the emperor had not officially conferred the title, he had mentioned it before.

However, the emperor seemed to have said this when he was bragging about his grandson.

So the ministers who supported the prince stood up one after another:

"I think Lord Lu is right!"

"Yes, the emperor once said this! And the Crown Prince is only missing, and has not been confirmed dead. It is safest to appoint the emperor's grandson as the crown prince at this time!"

The second prince had just arrived at the Taiji Palace when he heard such heart-wrenching words.
