Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

The Yan Emperor had no choice but to suppress his own thoughts, as he had originally planned to change his mind later.

However, considering the army of the Dai Kingdom and the news that Yan Wanning was highly skilled in martial arts, he had no choice but to compromise.

It's unclear how she managed to control her bodyguards and guards.

The former crown prince has already passed away, and no new crown prince has been appointed for the time being.

Wan Ning called someone in and asked him to find a blank imperial edict to give to the emperor.

Before Emperor Yan began writing, he continued, "Have you considered that the ministers might object?"

Wan Ning: "Father, you only need to stand on my side. You don't need to worry about anything else."

The Emperor of Yan had no choice but to write an imperial edict and have it delivered to the court the following day.

"Are you satisfied?"

Wan Ning: "Father, please enjoy these last moments. I will take my leave."

The Emperor of Yan watched Wan Ning's departing figure with eyes full of despair.

"Someone come here!" he shouted into the air.

A figure appeared before them. The Yan Emperor asked, "Did you hear anything just now?"

Passerby A: "Reporting to Master, I have not found anything unusual."

The Emperor of Yan did not know whether this person had been bribed or whether Wan Ning possessed some special ability.

However, considering that these were his own clandestine forces, which ordinary people couldn't access and that they were all under his control, he figured he couldn't bribe them.

That's what makes Wan Ning different. I wonder what special fortune this daughter has had to achieve what she has today. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have...

The more he thought about it, the more suffocated he felt. What kind of emperor could be so pathetic? When he got emotional, he felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Quickly, find a royal physician."

The guard looked up and saw the Emperor's condition and the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. Knowing something was wrong, he quickly went to fetch the imperial physician.

Wan Ning left the palace and returned to her princess residence, which had already been prepared and taken care of.

Tell someone to prepare water for a bath. Get some rest early tonight; there will be a small battle at the morning court tomorrow.

The following morning's court session was thrown into an uproar by a piece of news.

After discussing the affairs of the court, just as the ministers felt it was time to adjourn the court session...

The Emperor of Yan dropped a bombshell: "I intend to make Wan Ning the Crown Princess."

Prince Cheng and the other princes all looked surprised, but they couldn't speak up because of their father, the Emperor.

Prince Cheng was surprised that Wan Ning had actually gotten his father to agree.

Xiao Heng's eyes flashed with understanding. She had known this day would come, but she hadn't expected her to act so quickly.

Minister: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable! How can a mere woman like the Eldest Princess be made Crown Princess?"

"Your Majesty, please rescind your order."

"Your Majesty, please rescind your order."

A whole bunch of people knelt down with a clatter, while those who remained standing were all those who obeyed the emperor's orders, along with Prince Cheng and Duke Su.

"It seems you have a lot of opinions about me?" A lazy voice came from outside the palace.

Wan Ning attended the event in her finest attire today, dressed in a magnificent long dress with an elaborate hem that swayed gently as she walked step by step through the main hall.

He possesses a languid yet dignified air, exuding a powerful aura.

Everyone was momentarily stunned by her aura, and no one spoke.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Heng's gaze immediately fell upon her.

Shen Yurong also stood in the crowd, glancing curiously at the recently prominent Princess.

Wan Ning walked to the front of the ministers, turned around, her skirt fluttering, her movements fluid and graceful, simple yet possessing a unique beauty that drew everyone's attention.

In any case, Xiao Heng's gaze never left her, while everyone else was just curious about her.

Wan Ning: "You were having such a heated discussion just now, why have you all fallen silent now that I've arrived?"

The minister reminded her, "Why isn't the eldest princess bowing to the emperor?"

Wan Ning: "Everyone has not forgotten my identity, has they? I am now the King of Dai, on equal footing with my father."

The minister who had just spoken was a little embarrassed.

Jiang Yuanbai reminded him: "Were we just discussing the Emperor's decision to bestow the title of Crown Princess upon the Eldest Princess?"

The ministers came to their senses: "Yes, Your Majesty, please rescind your decree."

Wan Ning: "The Great Yan was defeated by the Dai Kingdom only because I, a mere woman, was sent as a hostage to exchange for your peaceful life. Now that the Dai Kingdom is mine, do you think you still have the right to object?"

The ministers blushed at her words, but Wan Ning continued, her voice growing increasingly serious: "Furthermore, Father has already issued an edict, yet you dare to openly defy his orders. Are you plotting a rebellion?"

Upon hearing the word of rebellion, the ministers were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and declared their innocence: "Your Majesty, we had no such intention."

"Please, Princess, do not slander us. We are utterly loyal to the Emperor."

Wan Ning's tone was calm yet sharp: "Since this is not a rebellion, why do you even dare to oppose the imperial edict? Do you think you can control Father's decisions?"

The ministers wiped the sweat from their brows and said, "Princess, spare us! We have absolutely no objection to His Majesty's decree."

If they continued to oppose it, they would be accused of treason. It was more important to save their lives. The emperor had already agreed, so what was there for them to object to?

Emperor Yan: "Alright, Wan Ning, the ministers have no objections."

Today he finally understood that Wan Ning's assertive attitude meant that no amount of opposition from others could change anything; she had already compromised, so what could anyone else do?

Wan Ning: "Since Father says so, then I will believe them."

Xiao Heng's lips curled up slightly as she watched her shine brightly in the crowd, her confident and unrestrained demeanor captivating.

The younger generation of officials looked at Wan Ning with admiration. It was truly unexpected that the princess, a woman, had achieved such a feat.

With the support of the Dai Kingdom, the Great Yan Kingdom will eventually belong to her.

It seems that the Great Yan is about to change. The eldest princess's power is growing, and even the emperor does not dare to challenge her.

The elderly ministers naturally considered these factors as well, and decided to temporarily avoid confrontation and wait and see how things developed.

Emperor Yan, realizing he was no longer capable of resisting his daughter, waved wearily to the head eunuch beside him.

"Proclaim the imperial decree."

The chief eunuch stepped forward: "Your Highness, receive the imperial decree."

Wan Ning looked at him, standing ramrod straight. The head eunuch glanced at the emperor and realized that the emperor had no objection to whether she knelt or not.

Emperor Yan: Do I dare to have any objections?

The chief eunuch turned his eyes and said: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Princess Wanning, Zhao Jing, is exceptionally intelligent and blessed by Heaven. I hereby appoint her as Crown Princess and, after my death, she shall ascend the throne. I hope she will be a wise and benevolent ruler who loves the people. This is my decree."

Wan Ning: "Thank you, Father Emperor. Your subject accepts the decree." This was the last time she referred to herself as "your subject."

Upon hearing the contents of the imperial edict, the ministers all looked at the emperor.

Minister: Your Majesty, blink if you're being threatened!

The emperor cried: I dare not!

Due to Wan Ning's authority and her eloquence, no one dared to voice their opposition for a time.

Xiao Heng took the lead in kneeling down: "Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Princess!"

A younger generation of officials: This kid actually reacted so quickly?
