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

Chapter 24 You Dare to Question the Emperor

Inside the Chengguang Hall, everyone touched the ground with their foreheads, bowed their heads and shouted, "Welcome the Emperor."

Even Queen Li knelt down. In her panic, she didn't think much, but her eyes were still fixed on Ye Wenyan.

Ye Wenyan was kneeling but she didn't kowtow. Not only that, she also raised her head and looked up at the top of the hall, no one knew what she was thinking.

Too many people were so excited that they started crying. They hadn't heard the Emperor's voice for so long that they couldn't remember whether it was ten or twenty years. They couldn't hear his voice or see him. If the Yanhua Palace hadn't still stood in the palace, they would almost think that the Emperor was gone.

Just like the ancestors recorded in history books, their immortal lifespans came to an end and they died quietly. Now the Emperor has spoken, no matter what he said, it is a reassurance for people.

As long as the Emperor is there, Northern Qi will remain the most powerful existence on this continent.

People were crying, and soon the cries became one and the same, even more solemn than the cry for the late emperor. Only Queen Li, who was kneeling on the high platform, grasped the key point.

What did the Emperor say just now? The Seventh Prince will inherit the throne? But...but the Seventh Prince is a mute!

She raised her head and said loudly: "Emperor, it can't be the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince can't speak, how can he be the emperor?"

This remark awakened everyone in the hall, and they realized that, yes, the Seventh Prince had been unable to speak since childhood. How could a mute person be the emperor of Northern Qi?

The crying stopped and the hall fell silent. People had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask like Queen Li did. They even knew that Queen Li would definitely not dare to ask under normal circumstances.

The reason why she dared to do it now was probably because she still wanted to fight for her Sixth Prince.

Above the hall, the voice of Emperor Zunshi Li Yuan boomed down again: "Please ask the fourth lady of the Ye family to treat the seventh prince."

People were collectively shocked. Let the witch of the Ye family treat the seventh prince? Does the witch of the Ye family have anything to do with the word "medicine"? Is there any connection? They have lived in Lin'an City for so many years, and they have never heard that Ye Wenyan knows medical skills!

Queen Li was also confused, but she was not confused about whether Ye Wenyan knew medical skills. She was confused: "Can a mute be cured?"

The Emperor replied to her for the first time: "If I say it is possible, it is possible!"

Ye Wenyan almost laughed out loud, "You're waiting for me here!"

Queen Li was anxious, "Does the Emperor take this seriously?"

Unfortunately, there was no reply from the Emperor, and even the once suffocating pressure above the Chengguang Palace dissipated.

People knew that the emperor had passed away, and they were too disdainful to talk to Queen Li anymore.

Empress Li naturally understood this, but she was too embarrassed to ask again, "Your Majesty, how can a mute speak? The fourth young lady of the Ye family is only fifteen years old this year, how can she have such a great ability?"

Yun Chen, who had been kneeling silently, finally gave up and asked, "Are you questioning the Emperor, Queen?"

Queen Li shuddered, big drops of sweat oozing from her forehead. She kept saying, "I dare not. I am just worried. What if it can't be cured? This is a matter of great importance to the country."

Ye Wenyan smiled, "Nothing will happen."

Queen Li took a deep breath, resisting the urge to slap Ye Wenyan to death, and said, "I haven't heard that the fourth young lady of the Ye family knows medical skills."

"You have heard it now, haven't you?" Ye Wenyan stopped kneeling straight and simply sat on his calves. Queen Li was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She asked Ye Wenyan hoarsely: "Since you know medical skills and can make the mute speak, why don't you treat the Sixth Prince? Why don't you treat him?"

The sound, like a wolf's howl, made the entire hall buzz.

Ye Wenyan didn't care whether the queen was calm or collapsed. She just stated a fact: "Your Majesty, do you want to say that if I cure the Sixth Prince, he should inherit the throne? No! As far as the situation on our continent is concerned, when choosing a new emperor, we must choose a younger one, which will be more conducive to the future development of the country. The Sixth Prince is older than the Seventh Prince, so your Majesty, don't worry about this matter anymore. Besides..."

She paused and snorted softly, "Besides, I don't know how to treat him."

"why?"

"Why did you say?"

Queen Li was furious, "How dare you speak to me like that?" "Why not?" Ye Wenyan stood up, put his hands behind his back, jumped over the crowd, and looked coldly at the Queen who was still kneeling on the podium.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, the queen will be honored as the queen mother. In fact, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, Queen Li will become Queen Mother Li, so it is not a wise choice for her to turn against the future queen mother at this time.

But she is Ye Wenyan, who is rebellious and never bows her head. How could she compromise with this woman just because the timing is not right?

"Let's not talk about the fact that the Sixth Prince still owes me an explanation. Just because I can cure the Seventh Prince, I have done a great service to the country. I don't ask everyone to remember my kindness, as long as the Seventh Prince can remember it, that's enough." She looked straight at Queen Li, "Nothing in the world can be accomplished by one hand. So the thing I want to explain is definitely not something that the Ye family can do unilaterally. Your Majesty, don't you agree?"

After asking, without waiting for Queen Li to speak again, she lowered her head to look at Yun Chen who was still kneeling, "Lord Yun, where is the Seventh Prince now? Let's get the business done first."

Yun Chen stood up, and Wu Fei beside him also stood up.

Yun Chen said: "All the princes and princesses are now gathered in the Baoji Palace to perform a ritual for the late emperor."

She nodded, "Then please ask His Highness the Seventh Prince to come out first and find a quieter palace. I will show him around."

Yun Chen immediately agreed, "I will listen to the Fourth Miss." Then he turned to Wu Fei and said, "Eunuch Wu has been walking around the palace all year round, so you can handle this matter!"

Wu Fei bowed and turned to walk out of the palace, but Queen Li's voice came again - "Wait!"

Wu Fei shuddered and subconsciously looked at Ye Wenyan, his eyes full of pleading.

The ministers in the hall also looked towards Wu Fei, some with sympathy and some waiting to watch the show.

Empress Li had already stood up, and she regained her dignity as an empress. She said to Wu Fei earnestly, "When the late emperor was alive, you were the most capable person around him. Over the years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has arranged many new people to serve in the Palace of Immortals, but he has never been able to get used to any of them. What do you think we should do if we suddenly arrive there and there is no one to serve us?"

Wu Fei's heart twitched and he was at a loss as to what to do at that moment.

He thought he could escape this danger by going to Ye Mansion to ask for help, but he didn't expect that Queen Li didn't want to let him go.

He knelt down again, wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.

Yun Chen wanted to speak when he saw this, but was stopped by Ye Wenyan, "I live among the people and have heard a lot about their affairs. And there have been two big funerals in succession in your mansion, so I am very clear about the details of the funeral."

She took two steps forward, just in time to block Wu Fei. "When someone dies in the folk, the family will burn some paper items, such as beds, pillows, horses, sedan chairs and the like. Some wealthy families will also burn paper maids and servants. Why don't we make a paper man in the image of Eunuch Wu in the palace and burn it! After all, there are rules down there, only when paper things are burned can the deceased receive them. Things like burials are actually useless, because no one can predict who will be reincarnated first after death. What if Eunuch Wu is reincarnated first, then the late emperor will still have no one to serve him! Only paper things can last a long time, and Your Majesty has no grudge against the late emperor, so she won't send a half-time servant to deliberately disgust him."

Everyone in the palace was worried about Ye Wenyan. This night, the witch of the Ye family had offended Queen Li badly! This after another, one sentence after another, every sentence was driving Queen Li crazy. It was said that the witch of the Ye family was domineering. Now it seems that the rumors are really true. This girl has the same temperament as her deceased grandfather.

Fortunately, Queen Li did not go crazy. Although she was extremely angry, she held it in.

In the past, she only knew that the fourth daughter of the Ye family was spoiled by Ye Zhenwei. She always thought that she was a woman with courage but no brains. Today, she found out that she was so sharp-tongued. This was not brainless at all. This brain was quite sufficient, so sufficient that she didn't know how to respond to these words.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Wenyan had already followed Yun Chen out of Chengguang Hall, and Wu Fei also followed them.

She wanted to call him back, but the maid Baochan shook her head at her, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wu cannot be eliminated. Although it sounds like Fourth Miss Ye has protected him, in fact, it is Yunchen who really supports them. Yunchen's protection is equivalent to the Emperor's protection. This person is most likely left for the new emperor."

Queen Li gritted her teeth so hard that her nails dug into her flesh.

"Wu Fei has often tried to ruin my plans in front of the late emperor. Five years ago, when Lu'er was being discussed for the title of crown prince, it was he who said one more word and the emperor gave up the idea. If I let him follow the new emperor, will I still be able to live a good life in the future?"

Baochan quickly advised her: "Don't think too much, Madam. He is just a eunuch after all. He can't cause much trouble. Besides, the Seventh Prince is not the late emperor. It's not certain whether he will listen to him or not! The most important thing right now is the Seventh Prince. Are we really going to watch him succeed to the throne?"

"What else?" Queen Li looked desperate. "Who has the ability to resist the Emperor?"

Indeed, not everyone understands this truth, even those court officials who have supported the Sixth Prince for many years.

Someone took the initiative to speak up and comforted him, specifically calling her the Empress Dowager. He said, "Please prepare for the new emperor's ascension to the throne. No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, you will be the Empress Dowager."

Queen Li took a deep breath. Yes! No matter which prince succeeded to the throne, she would be the queen mother. But she was not the only queen mother. The biological mother of the seventh prince was still here...
