Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome

The day before the enthronement ceremony, late at night, at Prince Kang's mansion

Everyone gathered at Prince Kang’s mansion, and Prince Kang’s confidants gathered at Prince Kang’s mansion.

Prince Kang: "I have sent a group of elite soldiers into the capital through the city gate, my dear prince."

Yonghuang: "Uncle."

Prince Kang: "After you return to the palace, take your men to Donghua Gate to meet them, then lead them in ambush, and wait for me to arrive and capture them in one fell swoop."

Yonghuang: "Yes."

Prince Kang: "Sixth Prince, you and I will lead the troops to capture the Nine Gates Admiral Fu Longan and take control of the capital."

Yongrong: "Yes!"

Prince Kang: "It's almost time, let's go!"

Everyone: "Yes!"

Princess Hejia's Mansion

Prince Kang led his men into Princess Hejia's residence, grabbed a servant and asked where Qing Fulong was, then went straight to the study.

Prince Kang and his men broke in. Seeing this, Fu Longan immediately protected Jing Yan behind him and asked, "Prince Kang, what exactly is bothering you with so much trouble?"

Prince Kang snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and hand over the Nine Gates Commander's Military Token."

Fu Longan: "Don't even think about it. Without the emperor's order, I will never hand over the military token."

Prince Kang: "Your Majesty? Not tomorrow."

Fulongan asked in disbelief, "Are you going to rebel?"

Prince Kang snorted coldly, "It was Jingqin who rebelled, not us. Hand over the military token quickly. Why risk your life for a traitor?"

Fu Longan: "Ridiculous! The eldest princess is the emperor's chosen successor! You are the traitors!"

Prince Kang: "Ridiculous? To make a woman emperor is truly absurd! He who knows the current situation is a hero. I advise you to hand over the military command immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."

Yongrong also stepped forward and advised: "Brother-in-law, just listen to Prince Kang! When I ascend the throne, I will definitely not miss out on your benefits."

Jing Yan, who was standing behind Fu Longan, exclaimed, "Sixth brother?! Why are you also..."

Yongrong: "Sister, my uncle promised me that after my eldest sister abdicates, I will ascend the throne. You should persuade my brother-in-law to hand over the military order as soon as possible."

Jingyan was angry and anxious. She didn't expect Yongrong to get involved. She had tried to persuade him for so long, and Yongzhang and Yongrong had promised her solemnly that they would not get involved.

The more Jingyan thought about it, the angrier she got. She almost fainted. Fulongan saw this and quickly supported Jingyan, calling out anxiously, "Princess, Princess? Wake up, Princess."

May God help me! Prince Kang stepped forward and threatened, "Have you thought it through? If you don't give me the military token, the imperial physician won't be able to come in. If anything happens to the princess, you won't be able to escape the blame."

Fu Longan looked at Yongrong.

Although Yongrong was somewhat moved, he still said cruelly: "If my brother-in-law delays the opportunity to save my sister, I will punish you severely after I ascend the throne!"

Although Jingyan fainted, she woke up quickly. When she heard Yongrong's words, her heart sank. She leaned her head against Fulongan and whispered, "Give it to him, my husband."

Fu Longan sighed and said, "It's in the third compartment below the white porcelain bottle, in a brocade box."

Yongrong couldn't wait to search for it after hearing it, and when he found it, he exclaimed in surprise: "Uncle, I found it."

Prince Kang also said excitedly: "Show me this seal to see if it is real or fake."

Yongrong took it forward for Prince Kang to examine carefully. Just as he had taken a general look at it, Jingyan started coughing non-stop.

Fulongan immediately said anxiously: "Prince Kang, I have already given you the seal. Can you ask the servants to send a doctor to see the princess?"

Yongrong also advised: "Uncle, please send an imperial physician to my sister."

Prince Kang nodded, without taking a closer look, and hurried out of the house with the brocade box, preparing his plans for entering the palace tomorrow.

……

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, outside the Taiji Hall

Two eunuchs stood on both sides waving whips, the sound of cloud boards was continuous, and the music was endless.

Jingqin was wearing the emperor's court robes and sitting on the imperial sedan chair. She was carried into the Hall of Supreme Harmony by eunuchs from the Taihe Gate. The nobles and ministers stood in two rows and walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony together.

Jingqin got out of the sedan chair and walked to the dragon throne and sat down.

Wang Qin: "Kneel. Kowtow once, kowtow again, kowtow three times..."

The ministers saluted.

Jingqin: "I ascend the throne today..."

Prince Kang shouted, "Wait!"

There was silence in front of the hall, and everyone was looking at Prince Kang.

Prince Kang shouted, "I accuse the eldest princess of illegitimately ascending the throne and being unfit to be the emperor of our great Qing Dynasty! Today, I will restore order!"

Jingqin remained calm and asked, "Prince Kang, since you say I'm not worthy of being emperor, who do you think is suitable?"

Prince Kang didn't expect Jingqin to relent so quickly. He wanted to talk about himself, but after thinking of Song Jingyan's instructions, he changed his words and said, "This prince... This prince thinks that as long as it's a prince, it will be suitable! The emperor of the Qing Dynasty can only be succeeded by a prince, why should the princess get involved?"

Yonghuang was surprised that Prince Kang hadn't mentioned him. Anxiously, he shouted, "Uncle, didn't you say that I would inherit the throne?"

Prince Kang simply glanced at Yonghuang and said, "When did I ever say that the throne would be inherited by the eldest prince? Besides, the eldest prince has been ill for many years and has few children. Naturally, he is not capable of shouldering this heavy responsibility."

Yonghuang hadn't expected Prince Kang to abandon him so quickly, and exclaimed, "You clearly..."

Prince Kang looked at Yonghuang with a half-smile, but Yonghuang was speechless. Was he going to admit that he and Prince Kang had been colluding for a long time and wanted to usurp the throne? Wouldn't that make him go from being the legitimate heir to a traitor?

Yongrong also stepped forward at the right time to add his words, "Yes, my eldest brother is frail and weak, how can he bear such an important responsibility? I think we should find someone in the prime of life to be the emperor!"

Yongrong was very confident. Among all the princes, his mother's family was the strongest and he was also young and strong. It was a foregone conclusion that he would be the successor this time.

Song Jingyan, who was standing in the back row, said loudly, "I believe that Prince Kang is the most suitable candidate to succeed the throne!"

Prince Kang raised his head proudly, feeling complacent, but Yongrong looked at Prince Kang in disbelief. Prince Kang had clearly promised him that after he had used the eldest prince, he would make him emperor.

Yongrong couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "How can the emperor's uncle inherit the throne if he is not the emperor's father's son?"

Song Jingyan retorted, "That's wrong. Although Prince Kang is not the emperor's biological son, he is also a member of the royal family. Isn't he more legitimate than the princess?

Furthermore, the current emperor's princes are sickly, young, and mediocre. How can they compare to Prince Kang?"

After saying that, Song Jingyan looked at Yongrong with contempt.

Yongrong was so angry that he was unable to speak and was furious. He was not good at speaking and could only say one sentence after a long time: "You...you are making up excuses!"

Song Jingyan didn't even take Yongrong seriously. He turned around and saluted, saying, "I dare to ask the princess to give up the throne to Prince Kang!"

Prince Kang's closest associates all knelt down and shouted, "Your humble servant dares to ask the princess to give up the throne to Prince Kang!"

Jingqin sat on the dragon throne and asked, "Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?"

Song Jingyan: "No, I just want to set things right. The emperor was confused and passed the throne to the princess, but we are not confused! Princess, are you going to abdicate yourself or...?"

Jingqin was so angry at Song Jingyan's matter-of-fact words that she laughed. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Are you done? If you're done, it's my turn. Come on, capture these people for me!"

Guards: "Yes!"

The guards stationed on both sides suddenly stepped forward and surrounded Song Jingyan and others, and new guards also appeared in the positions where the original guards were stationed.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Prince Kang rushed forward and tried to hold Jingqin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, hostage.

Jingqin was still sitting on the throne. Huanian, who was standing beside her, took action and kicked Prince Kang to the bottom of the stairs when he was not paying attention. The imperial guards stepped forward and put a knife to Prince Kang's neck.

Prince Kang said hatefully, "Impossible! How could I lose? How could I lose to a woman?!"

Jingqin: "I didn't expect Prince Kang to be so foolish. Didn't anyone teach you the importance of not underestimating the enemy on the battlefield?"

Jingqin glanced at Wei Yanwan, who came forward with a tray of memorials and smashed it on Prince Kang's head.

Jingqin: "Since the day Wang Qinnian issued the imperial edict declaring his accession to the throne, I have received more than a dozen memorials, all reminding me that you have two hearts. And you are still flirting with them under my nose.

I thought you were so capable, but I didn't expect you to let the eldest prince bring some trash into the palace to exchange for my elite soldiers. You took the sixth prince to Princess Hejia's mansion to steal the seal of the Nine Gates Commander. What a fool.

Yong Zhang was terrified when he saw Yongrong standing up, and his heart almost beat out of his throat when he heard about the good things Yongrong had done. He looked at Yongrong in shock.

When Yongrong saw Yongzhang's eyes, his head almost dropped to the ground.

Prince Kang said in disbelief, "How did you know? Did you bribe my people in advance? Did you deliberately set a trap to frame me?"

Jingqin: "Do I need to set a trap to deal with you? Your elite soldiers have been discovered by my people before they even leave. The ones that the eldest prince brought in are all my private soldiers.

As for you trying to steal the Nine Gates Commander Seal, it was Princess Hejia who reported it. No matter what, the imperial physician is still a palace official, so how could he help you?

Prince Kang, your tricks are so clumsy and your methods so low-level that I find it hard to believe that such a clever person could come up with such a move. Let me be frank, I know every move you make clearly.

Prince Kang knelt on the ground, unable to refute. He had indeed underestimated his enemy. He had originally thought that Jingqin, a princess married to a foreign country, did not have that much influence in the capital...

Prince Kang said dejectedly, "The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. I have lost."

Jingqin was too lazy to talk any more. She said so much just to warn other people who were ready to make a move.

Jingqin: "Come here, take all the rebels away and deal with them together."

Prince Kang's eyes widened as he asked, "I am a member of the royal family. How dare you punish me?"

Jingqin sneered, "Imperial family? Why didn't you remember you were a royal family member when you rebelled and usurped the throne? Come, bring the rebels away to me. I will thank my ancestors and spare Prince Kang's body. The rest of you will be beheaded."

The clan members and ministers were all stunned. Clan member A stepped forward and pleaded, "Your Majesty, red cannot be seen on such a happy occasion!"

Jingqin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. Then, grant Prince Kang the white silk scarf, and the others will be hanged and thrown into a mass grave after their death."

Clan member A had not expected this to unfold, and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, on such a joyous occasion, please do not endanger lives."

Jingqin asked doubtfully, "How can I celebrate my grand occasion when it was nearly ruined by Prince Kang? You're so concerned about Prince Kang, are you also his supporter?"

The clan member quickly slid down to his knees and said, "I absolutely do not have such intentions."

Jingqin nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask, "Is there anyone else speaking up for Prince Kang?"

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, the imperial guards stepped forward and held the eldest prince and the sixth prince.

Seeing that everyone was concerned about Prince Kang, Yonghuang and Yongrong could only shout, "What are you doing? I'm a prince, how dare you arrest me?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and Yonglian stepped forward at the right moment and said, "Your Majesty, I am accusing my eldest and sixth brothers of colluding with the traitor Prince Kang and helping him usurp the throne!"

Everyone had witnessed the dog-fighting drama between Prince Kang and the other two, and everyone believed what Yonglian said.

Liu Tongxun was still thinking about how he had offended Jingqin before. Jingqin had just refused to let him speak, so he jumped out and said, "Second Prince, do you have any evidence?"

Yonglian nodded and said, "All your evidence is in this box."

Huanian stepped forward to take the brocade box and handed it to Jingqin. Jingqin glanced through the contents of the box and said, "My dear ministers, please take a look too."

The noble ministers circulated it and condemned it:

"The actions of the eldest and sixth princes are truly against the will of the emperor. They are disloyal and unfilial."

"How could the eldest prince and the sixth prince get entangled with Prince Kang?"

……

Jingqin said with a look of deep sorrow, "The emperor breaks the law and should be punished just like common people. Even though my eldest and sixth brothers are my brothers, they are not immune. The eldest and sixth brothers will be stripped of their titles and confined to the prince's residence. They are not allowed to leave without imperial decree."

Ministers: "Your Majesty is wise."

Although Yong Zhang wanted to beg for mercy, the situation was already hopeless and he could only endure and wait for the opportunity.

After the rebel was dragged away, the enthronement ceremony continued.

Wang Qin said loudly: "Kneel down, kowtow once, kowtow twice, kowtow three times."

Everyone salutes.

Wang Qin: "Xing."

Everyone stood up.

……

Wang Qin: "The ceremony is over——"

Jingqin: "I ascend the throne today and must act with filial piety and benevolence, respecting His Majesty's orders. I will honor His Majesty as the Supreme Emperor, my biological mother, Fucha, as the Supreme Empress, and my husband, Borjigit, as the Empress. The Ministry of Rites will solemnly handle all matters concerning the enthronement."

Everyone: "Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, and brings blessings to all people."
