Rebirth as Princess Jin again

The sky gradually turned white, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning slowly appeared at the end of the sky. Chen Bin opened her slightly closed eyes. Because of what happened today, she sat on the soft couch and stayed awake all night.

She glanced at Situ Lin, who was at the mercy of the palace servants, and said in a rare and pleasant manner: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court. I will accompany the Emperor today."

Nanny Chen held the edict in both hands and followed them out of the hall. Chen Xiao once served as the Minister of War, and he promoted many ministers. Chen Pin had already contacted those people, and they would help her when necessary. She The odds of winning in my heart have increased a bit.

Everyone in the court had been waiting for a long time, but unexpectedly found that the emperor was half an hour late for today's morning court.

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw Chen Bin helping Situ Lin into the hall, and the prince who had always been by Situ Lin's side was nowhere to be seen. All the officials in the hall were extremely surprised. This empress has now lost her favor. , why are you still accompanying the emperor to court today?

This has never been seen during Situ Lin's reign. Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics, and Situ Lin has always been fair and strict. There has never been a precedent for concubines to go to court in the court.

Even the queen only appeared in the court during the canonization ceremony to accept the worship of all the people. Now that Chen Bin was demoted, his appearance naturally puzzled the officials below.

At this moment, Yang Ming, who was the censor, couldn't help it. He stepped forward and said bluntly: "This is the court hall, a place where government affairs are discussed. Please stay away, Concubine Chen!"

At this moment, Chen Bin did not answer his words. Instead, she slowly helped Situ Lin sit down on the dragon chair. She turned to look at the serious Yang Ming and said with a smile: "Yang Yushi, of course I am. I understand that I have no choice but to accompany the Emperor to court today."

Yang Ming frowned: "I wonder what your Majesty means by this?"

Chen Concubine ignored him, looked around and said, "Where is the prince today?"

Yang Ming looked at her coldly and replied: "The prince went to the Xiangguo Temple to pay homage to the Concubine Xian, and he should not be able to come back today. I have no choice but to go to court. Why don't you tell me directly? If not, please ask the concubine Exit the court as soon as possible!"

Yang Ming's aggressiveness made Chen Bin very unhappy, but she had no way to refute it. She snorted softly: "I have obtained the emperor's consent. Is Mr. Yang dissatisfied with the emperor?"

Yang Ming stared silently. He felt very strange in his heart. He had an ominous premonition. He always felt that the emperor today was different from the past. Bringing concubines to court was not something the emperor could do, and the emperor's His eyes were dull, not as majestic as usual.

He couldn't help but look at Su Quan who was standing aside. Su Quan looked solemnly at Situ Lin who was sitting on the dragon throne, and stepped forward and said, "I wonder what the emperor means today? The emperor has always been diligent and caring for the people, and followed the etiquette and laws. Why do you have to bring him with you today?" When Concubine Chen went to court, I was very puzzled. Could you please give me an explanation?"

Su Quan had been waiting for Situ Lin's answer, but Situ Lin seemed not to hear it, and the look in his eyes did not even change.

Chen Bin, who was standing next to Situ Lin at this moment, was also anxious. If he didn't speak, there would be so many people below that no one would notice the problem. She leaned over and whispered in Situ Lin's ear: "Your Majesty, Mr. Su wants to ask you As for the words, just answer quickly."

Seeing Situ Lin's delay in responding, Chen Concubine pretended to be calm and explained: "The emperor is in a bad mood because he lost the eldest princess. He didn't have a good rest last night and is a little depressed. Since all of you are eager to know that the emperor has brought me here today. The purpose of the court was to be announced by me. Yesterday, the emperor had a long conversation with me at Yilan Palace all night long. He lamented the impermanence of the world. In just a few days, he lost the eldest princess and the third prince one after another. He was worried and worried. My body is overwhelmed and I intend to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy."

After Chen Bin finished speaking, while everyone was in shock, she ordered people to read out the contents of the edict.

After listening to the contents of the edict, all the officials were even more shocked. Not to mention that Situ Lin had not reported any physical discomfort. Even if he wanted to abdicate, now that the crown prince has been established, he should pass the throne to the crown prince. At this moment, while The prince was not there, but a concubine was asked to read out the edict of abdication. The person who passed the throne turned out to be Chen Concubine's second prince.

Chen Concubine was indeed favored when she was a concubine, but in the end, not only did she not take the post, but she was demoted to a concubine. This shows that Situ Lin is not a womanizer, so how could he give up his present life just because he talked with Chen Concubine for a night? Some princes create new kings.

Yang Ming spoke boldly and stepped forward to ask Situ Lin, who had been silent, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Hospital has never mentioned the Emperor's illness recently, and now that you have established a crown prince, why did you suddenly appoint a new crown prince? Is it your own wish, or..."

After saying that, Yang Ming glanced at Chen Bin and said coldly: "Or did someone use some extraordinary means to coerce you?"

Concubine Chen's eyes sharpened and she shouted sternly: "Master Yang, what do you mean by this? Are you referring to me to coerce the emperor?"

Yang Ming looked at Chen Bin with burning eyes: "Ms. Chen Bin is too worried. This edict is unreasonable and goes against the emperor's usual behavior. As a censor, I have the responsibility to raise questions for all officials and ask questions clearly. The whole story.”

Chen Bin snorted coldly: "There is a jade seal stamped by the Emperor on it. It is written by the Emperor himself and it is also the Emperor's wish. How can it be false? It's you, Mr. Yang, who openly questioned the Emperor's decision. What crime should you do? ?”

Su Quan stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. As the imperial censor, Mr. Yang has the responsibility to advise the emperor on his behavior. What's more, I believe that everyone in this palace has the same questions as Mr. Yang. Please ask the emperor to clarify your doubts." ?”

All the officials stood up to agree, and Chen Bin turned to Su Quan and others.

Her face softened slightly and she said: "To be honest with you, the emperor talked to me about this matter last night. I was opposed to it. I also tried to persuade the emperor, but the emperor said that he had made up his mind and I could not change the emperor. idea.”

Su Quan said in a deep voice: "The emperor has appointed the prince, and the prince has not done anything wrong. The prince is a meritorious minister of Xia Zhaoguo. He has made many military exploits and is a prince supported by all the people and officials. At this time, if the new king ascends the throne , where to put the prince?"

Chen Bin smiled slightly, looked down at Su Quan and said: "The prince is the seventh among the princes. He is neither the eldest son nor the legitimate son. After careful consideration, the emperor felt that as the prince of the East Palace, he was lacking, and the prince's harem was empty. , he only gave birth to one eldest son, which is not good for the royal bloodline. Mr. Su is the father-in-law of the prince, and the princess is your biological daughter. Don’t you advise your daughter to be more generous? Most of the princes take concubines, and the royal family continues. Bloodline, but here you question the emperor’s decision, don’t you think you are being too lenient?”
