The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 22 The Queen Arrives

This Chengguang Hall is usually used for morning court sessions. At the moment, ministers wearing mourning belts and white hats are discussing here which prince should inherit the throne.

Although some people wiped their eyes from time to time to express their sadness, as soon as the topic of the prince's succession to the throne was raised, they immediately joined in the debate and refused to give in to each other.

Wu Fei sighed and said helplessly: "For these adults, the emperor is gone, and crying for him is just a show. What they really care about is who will be the next new emperor. As for the dead, it doesn't seem that important."

Behind him, Ye Jingsheng strode forward and snorted, "It turns out that all the officials in Beijing are here, except for this general." Finally, someone looked over here and saw Ye Jingsheng, and asked, "Hey, isn't this the second master of the Ye family, why are you here?"

Ye Jingsheng became even angrier, "Why can't I come? I'm also a third-rank official, a military commander!"

"Really?" The man thought for a moment, "Oh, you see, I almost forgot about it. But don't blame us. After all, you are the first general in the Northern Qi Dynasty who doesn't go to the battlefield or fight. It's normal that you don't remember it."

"You..." Ye Jingsheng felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to have a good argument with this man, but now was not the right time or place, so he had to swallow his anger for the time being.

But just as he had endured it, someone else was looking for trouble with him. Someone asked, "General Ye Er, how is your daughter? Can the wound on her face be healed? My wife is familiar with a nunnery outside the city. How about I help you get in touch with her? Becoming a nun is better than committing suicide."

Ye Jing was so angry that he rolled his eyes and was about to faint. At this time, someone finally changed the subject. Someone said, "Isn't that Fourth Miss Ye? Why is she in Chengguang Palace? Why is Fourth Miss Ye's face so pale? There is no blood at all. It's creepy to look at her in the middle of the night!"

"Who is that over there? It seems to be Lord Yun from the Imperial Observatory. Why is he standing with Fourth Miss Ye? Lord Yun has always been by the side of the Emperor. Now that the country is in mourning, I don't know if the Emperor can show up. I haven't seen the Emperor for nearly ten years."

The hall was in chaos, with people talking about all sorts of things. Ye Wenyan stood there and listened, hearing people's conversation quickly shift from her to the next prince.

After all, compared with which prince should succeed to the throne, it is really not worth mentioning for a little girl like her to come to Chengguang Palace.

Ye Jingsheng also joined the discussion. He was from the Sixth Prince's faction, so naturally he stood with those who were determined to protect the Sixth Prince.

You know, they were originally in a very powerful position, because the Sixth Prince was the legitimate son, and among all the princes, he was the most likely to become the next monarch. Unfortunately, things are different now. Too many people saw the incident in front of the Su Wang Mansion. Although the Su Wang Mansion had cleared everyone away immediately, there were still many people who saw the broken lifeblood.

So at this moment, the most advantageous ones became the least advantageous ones, and the reason why they were still gathered together was because someone said that no matter whether the Sixth Prince had hope or not, at least the Queen was still there. And no matter which prince succeeded to the throne, the Queen would be the Queen Mother, so we must not have any other thoughts at this critical juncture, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the Queen.

It is indeed difficult to explain. Everyone knows that Queen Li is an extremely scheming queen. Since the previous queen died of complications during childbirth twenty years ago, Li, who was only seventeen years old at the time, jumped from a mere concubine to the queen, which really shocked many people.

She had not given birth to the Sixth Prince that year. A concubine without a prince could actually inherit the throne of Queen. This shows that apart from being extremely beautiful, Li also had extraordinary means.

The hall was noisy and people would occasionally fight over the choice of the heir to the throne.

The noise finally stopped when a eunuch raised his voice in a high pitch: "The Queen has arrived!"
