Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1163

The court was full of civil officials, but no military officials were seen. Envoys from various countries arrived.

The Queen Mother walked slowly into the magnificent palace, her eyes revealing solemnity and majesty.

She raised her hand slightly, signaling the servants to step aside. The hall suddenly became so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

"Long live the Queen Mother!"

"My lords, please stand up. Envoys who have come from afar, please stand up as well. I have an important announcement today," the Empress Dowager said with a heavy look of sorrow between her brows, "The whole country mourns the passing of our emperor..."

The court officials looked at each other in shock and amazement: "......"

No one cried because they didn't believe it.

Some of the court officials were aware of the "Qingchen" plan and naturally did not believe it; while the other part who were not aware of it could not believe it either when they saw that others did not believe it.

No one can be a fool!

The hall was dead silent, with only the words of the Empress Dowager echoing in the hall.

The envoys were even more shocked.

What? Emperor Mingde is dead? That's impossible?

The envoy of Weiwan State, Tanlu, was worried and his face changed slightly: Could it be that the Second Prince killed Emperor Mingde?

He had long felt something was wrong. The Second Prince Booth insisted on coming along this time, and often acted alone in a mysterious manner.

Tanlu remembered that an official he was friendly with had revealed that the emperor wanted to depose the crown prince and appoint a new heir.

He had thought it was impossible before, but now that he thought about it, if Booth had killed Emperor Mingde, this great achievement would indeed be possible... Thinking of this, he suddenly felt heavy-hearted.

After hearing what the Queen Mother Jiqing of Beiyi said, "I know you are shocked. When I first heard it, I was also extremely shocked. There is a traitor in Beiyi. Princess Haiyan and her husband are plotting to poison the emperor. They are worthy of death. Such an act against heaven is a shame for Beiyi and a great disaster for the country.

Although I live in the deep palace, I know the importance of imperial power and the safety of the country. How can I allow such treacherous people to do what they want?

I have captured Princess Haiyan and her husband, and ordered the palace gates to be sealed, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, in order to prevent spies from escaping and to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

Princess Haiyan and her husband must be dealt with according to the law of the country to set things right.

You are all the pillars of our Northern Wing. We need to work together to overcome the difficulties. I am old and need your help in many things. I hope that the people of Northern Wing will unite as one to punish the treacherous and evil, and ensure the stability of our Northern Wing and the well-being of the people. "

After saying this, the Empress Dowager glanced at the ministers below with a sharp gaze.

The look was sad and determined.

In her opinion, upon hearing this, all the ministers should look solemn and express their willingness to follow the Empress Dowager's lead and work together to eliminate evil and bring peace to the country.

Unexpectedly, the ministers not only did not express any opinion, but also raised doubts.

Zhao Liren, who had just returned from Qizhou in the morning, stepped forward and said, "I think Princess Haiyan and her husband are not that kind of people! There must be something hidden!"

Minister of Industry Gao Pinyuan followed suit, "I second the motion!"

Wang Chengyou, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, followed suit, "I second the motion!"

Lu Shiliang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, followed suit, "I second the motion!"

Wu Hongbo, the Minister of Rites, followed suit, "I second the motion!"

All the civil officials in the court followed suit, "I second the motion!"

There was a sudden commotion outside the hall, and a large group of ministers whose rank was not qualified to attend court rushed into the hall. It seemed that they had been listening outside for a long time.

The leader was Lu Sangyu, followed by a group of officials from the Northern Propaganda Department.

Everyone who came up said "I second the motion" in unison, and I don't know if they heard everyone say "second" or not.
