Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Seeing the unfriendly Prince Yin Liu Chu, the Minister of War Zhou Kunran stepped forward and stood in front of Prince Yin.

"Your Highness Prince Yin, where were you when the poisonous smoke was released here?"

When the detoxification pills were distributed, Song Jinxiu gave one to the Left Prime Minister Wei Zhen.

With such a big mess happening, the old Prime Minister has to take charge.

However, just as Wei Zhen opened his mouth, Zhou Kunran was quick and snatched it away. Song Jinxiu had no choice but to give Lord Wei a peace amulet.

Therefore, Zhou Kunran and Wei Zhen were the only two court officials who were not poisoned.

Prince Yin glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Oh, I'm going to get my father's imperial edict."

Zhou Kunran frowned: "What do you mean?"

Prince Yin ignored him and took out a bright yellow scroll from his bosom and handed it to the Left Prime Minister Wei Zhen behind Zhou Kunran: "Prime Minister Wei is a veteran of two dynasties. He should recognize the original work of the late emperor. Take a look for yourself."

The late emperor's will?

Left Prime Minister Wei Zhen took the scroll suspiciously, and was shocked when he opened it.

This turned out to be an imperial edict appointing Prince Yin as the Crown Prince.

Zhou Kunran also saw it and said sternly, "That's impossible. The late emperor personally passed the throne to Your Majesty in front of all the civil and military officials. Everyone knows it."

He was still a minor official of the fifth rank at the time, but he was present.

Everyone was stunned. "Since the late emperor's passing, Your Majesty has been diligent in governing the country and caring for the people. He has many children and now has five princes. How could he possibly appoint a crown prince?"

"Really? Then may I ask my royal brother why you haven't appointed a crown prince yet?" Prince Yin looked at Liu Renxiu.

Liu Renxiu frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Prince Yin chuckled, "Didn't the Emperor tell my brother to appoint a crown prince after he turns forty?"

Liu Renxiu looked at him without saying anything. His father had indeed said that the Crown Prince's fate depended on the nation's destiny and must be treated with great care and without any hesitation. He had also repeatedly emphasized that a person's ability and character could only be seen after he became an adult.

Prince Yin chuckled again, "The reason why the emperor asked you to be crowned the crown prince after you turn forty is actually to wait for my brother to return to the capital."

Prince Hexian couldn't stand it any longer and jumped up and shouted angrily, "What nonsense! The late emperor was so wise and intelligent, how could he have left such an imperial edict? I think you are just planning a rebellion."

After saying this, a flash of red appeared in his eyes, and he quickly sat down to recite the scriptures.

Prince Yin looked innocent. "Yes, you also said that our father was wise and intelligent. Why did he leave such a will?"

After successfully attracting everyone's attention, Prince Yin shook his head and said:

"Actually, I don't know either. However, my father is wise and intelligent. Since he left such an imperial edict, he must have his reasons for leaving it behind. Lord Wei, have you read the imperial edict? Does Lord Wei think it is fake?"

Left Prime Minister Wei Zhen asked in a deep voice: "Isn't it? And you, walking around in the Cining Palace at will, what crime should you be punished for?" He pointed angrily at the officials behind Prince Yin.

Song Jinxiu looked at Mr. Wei: Is the imperial edict true or false?

Wei Zhen raised his beard: Whether it is true or false, it must be false.

Song Jinxiu blinked: Is it really true?

Suddenly, a female voice came, "Yes, we can't move around freely, but what if we go to ask for another will from the late emperor?"

Concubine Liu was dressed in a maroon dress and wore a twelve-dragon and phoenix crown on her gray hair, which only the empress dowager could wear. She swept away her previous fragility and walked in with an imposing manner.

In her arms, she held a long purple box.

When the box was opened, a shining imperial edict was revealed.

Everyone: One more?

"The late emperor's will is now being read out. Why don't you kneel down and receive it?" Concubine Liu shouted.

The old prince Hexian couldn't help but jump up and said, "Falsifying the will is a capital crime."

After saying that, he quickly sat down to meditate. Song Jinxiu looked at him suppressing thousands of troubles and felt pity for him. She endured it again and again, but still couldn't bear to give him the last amulet.

Concubine Liu has come with bad intentions, so it’s better to leave the amulet to the emperor.

Looking at the painful old Prince Hexian, Song Jinxiu sighed. She could no longer rely on the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau, so she had to rely on herself for everything.

She was distracted by listening to the movements around her while also concentrating on preparing the antidote in the space.

I don’t need to boil it anymore because I don’t have time. I’ll just mix it together and make it into juice using a soy milk maker. It’s okay if it’s astringent or bitter, since I’m not going to drink it myself.

Prince Yin laughed and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I've kept this imperial edict from the Crown Prince hidden. However, this imperial edict hidden in the Xianji Palace was taken out of the coffin in the presence of so many officials. It can't be faked!"

Liu Renxiu was furious: "How dare you activate the coffin without my knowledge?"

Prince Yin turned his head sharply and glared at him: "Do you think my brother will allow me to open the coffin?"

Liu Renxiu: "Of course not. The coffin is filled with my father's handwriting and divine talismans. How can we open it casually?"

"Yes, I knew that my brother wouldn't allow it, so I had to come by myself."

Concubine Liu interrupted them, "Why are you saying so much? Eunuch Chen, please read the imperial edict."

As Concubine Liu finished speaking, a skinny old eunuch walked out from behind him.

Eunuch Hai exclaimed, "Chief Steward Chen? Why is it you?"

This person was none other than Chen Qing, the chief eunuch who served the late emperor.

"I stayed in the Xianji Palace to guard the late emperor's will. This imperial edict is authentic. I will now announce it. By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..."

This time the imperial edict was even more absurd, it was actually an edict to transfer the throne to Prince Yin.

Song Jinxiu was puzzled. Did the late emperor have a grudge against His Majesty? What was the purpose of leaving behind such an imperial edict? Would he die with regrets if he didn't destroy Cangwu?

"This is ridiculous, Prince Yin, Concubine Liu, and Eunuch Chen. You are absolutely ridiculous. The late emperor could not have left such a will."

If the late emperor was not senile, then it was Prince Yin who forged the case.

The court officials reacted strongly. They shared Song Jinxiu's thoughts and found it unbelievable.

His Majesty is a rare benevolent and wise ruler. They and their subjects are working together to create a prosperous and peaceful era. It is ridiculous that Prince Yin did such an inappropriate thing at this time.

Prince Yin: Ridiculous?

Originally, he could have waited for another two years until the emperor became weak and ill, and the princes were no longer able to succeed him, and then he could legitimately and gloriously take over the throne.

But somehow, Cangwu's national strength has grown rapidly in the past six months, especially with the invention of telescopes and bows and crossbows. Its military strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, and even the most difficult southern border has been defeated.

Moreover, the emperor's health was getting better and better. If he didn't take action, he might not have another chance.

Song Jinxiu didn't know that Prince Yin's premature coup was caused by a series of reforms he had made.

There is also the emperor's health. Her body-strengthening pills are immune to all diseases. She has only refined one furnace in half a year and obtained a total of six pills. She gave one to the old patriarch, one to his mother, one to his eldest brother, one to his younger brother and one to his younger sister. The last one was given to the emperor.

Even her little cabbage Su Mo was gone. Thinking of Su Mo, Song Jinxiu suddenly felt even worse.

The cabbage that was pushed aside...

Therefore, Song Jinxiu became more and more displeased with Prince Yin, who reminded her of the rotten cabbage Su Mo.
