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

Chapter 23 The Seventh Prince Succeeds to the Throne

The hall immediately became quiet.

But some people still whispered, "Shouldn't we call her Queen Mother now?"

Queen Li Xiaohan, 37 years old, is the mother of the Sixth Prince Quan Qinglu.

Ye Wenyan knelt down with everyone else and glanced at Queen Li from afar, but she didn't expect that with just one glance, she would be met with the stern gaze that Queen Li cast at her.

If looks could kill, I'm afraid Queen Li would be like this now, right?

She touched her nose and looked at him coldly. Although there were many people between them, she could still see that Queen Li's hands were shaking uncontrollably. If there hadn't been a senior palace maid holding her down, I'm afraid those hands would have reached out and strangled her to death.

It was no wonder that the queen was so angry. The emperor passed away and her son succeeded to the throne. She had been planning for so many years and her dream was about to come true. But at this critical moment, her son withdrew from the competition stage forever in this way. Anyone would go crazy.

But who can blame this?

Ye Wenyan raised his head again. Although he was kneeling, he didn't look like he was bowing to the queen.

Queen Li's teeth were almost broken. The head maid Baochan beside her grabbed her arm tightly and squeezed out her words through her teeth: "Your Majesty, you must hold it in. The Sixth Prince has specially sent someone to warn us not to act rashly, otherwise no one will survive."

"Then I'd rather die!" Queen Li was also ruthless, "For twenty years, I became queen at the age of seventeen, gave birth to Lu'er at the age of nineteen, and have been planning for this day for half of my life. Now that great things have been accomplished, they are all ruined by a maid. How can I accept this? It's better not to live at all. I'll kill her, and then let the Emperor kill me!" Having said this, she looked at Ye Wenyan's waist without any concealment. Unfortunately, there were too many people blocking her view, so she couldn't see clearly. So she whispered to Baochan, "See if the bell is still there. Didn't Lu'er say that she had a bell hanging on her waist, exactly the same as the one the Emperor used?"

Baochan was standing at a good angle and had sharp eyes. He tilted his head to look for a while and said softly, "The bell is gone."

"Gone?" Queen Li took a few steps forward. The princes and ministers were confused and looked up at her.

Baochan pulled her again, "Your Majesty, please stay calm. Just because she's not here now doesn't mean she's really gone. Maybe she's just placed somewhere else. Your Majesty, even if there's no hope for the Sixth Prince, we still have to live our lives." She leaned close to Queen Li's ear and lowered her voice, "Didn't the people in Prince Su's Mansion say that Miss Hongzhuang is pregnant, so we have to make some plans for the young master. What's more, there's..."

She didn't say anything more because Queen Li gave her a fierce look and stopped her from talking. The people kneeling in the palace couldn't hear clearly what the master and the maid were saying, but Ye Wenyan understood their lip language.

It seems that her guess was correct. The reason why no one did anything to her despite making such a big fuss at the gate of Prince Su's Mansion was because of the bell that Shi Liyuan gave her.

She leaned closer to Yun Chen and whispered, "It seems that Shi Liyuan's deterrent power is still quite strong."

Yun Chen didn't know why she said that, but it was a fact that the Emperor had a strong deterrent power, so he quickly said, "Fourth Miss is absolutely right."

The court officials had already begun to challenge Queen Li regarding the succession of the princes. Someone suggested the eldest prince, but was immediately opposed: "Aren't you just making a fuss? The eldest prince is already forty years old. How many more years can he be emperor?"

Someone else proposed the third prince, but he also encountered opposition.

No matter which one is proposed, there will always be opponents who come out to obstruct it.

Just as people were arguing about this, suddenly a voice was heard from above the hall, overwhelming their ears:

"The new emperor will be young, and the seventh prince Quan Qingcheng will be chosen to succeed the throne!"

Everyone was shocked!

This voice is... the Emperor?
