The people of Qingyue had already been psychologically prepared for the chaos caused by the struggle for imperial power.

From the beginning of Qingyue's founding, the East Palace Change caused by the seizure of power is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of Qingyue's subjects.In that battle, the heirs of the royal family were almost wiped out due to cannibalism, so all the emperors of Qingyue dynasties have heavy heirs. As the royal family becomes more prosperous, the struggle for power becomes more tragic and cold-blooded.And the entire Qingyue Jiangshan also quickly declined in such a long-term internal strife.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost every generation of Qingyue emperors took the throne of God in such a fate passed down from generation to generation, and then after a lifetime of hard work, they witnessed their own descendants and repeated the extension. destiny.

Perhaps it is more difficult to obtain the throne, so the land in hand is even more precious.Today, Emperor Yue has been on the throne for nearly 30 years. From the cleansing of the court that has just gained a firm foothold, to the uprooting of the relatives in the harem, and then to the reduction of feudal vassals and centralization of power 20 years ago, all his actions along the way are just for the eldest grandson. The country can be prosperous and stable, and passed on from generation to generation.

So from the early establishment of the grandson Qihao as the pedal prince, and the acquiescing to support the eldest grandson Qihong to secretly restrain him, and now, the Emperor Yue finally exhausted his last ounce of energy in his twilight years, and did not hesitate to plot his own heirs to support him What I really like is the crown prince who can keep the eldest grandson's country—safely succeeding to the throne.

As expected by Jing Ran, with the news of the crown prince's rebellion, the entire capital was quickly tightened and fell into chaos.However, the panic that should have accompanied it has not spread. While the people are a little worried, they have already foreseen the outcome of the coup in their hearts, and they are waiting silently in a wait-and-see attitude. With the storm finally over.

And the imperial court did not disappoint the people's expectations. First, it quickly controlled and imprisoned all the people related to the Ni Prince with the force of thunder, and then the Emperor Yue issued decrees one after another in the court hall the next day. all matters.

Qingqi General Pei Jinsong, who was newly married for less than a day, was given the official title of General Zuo and led 30 troops to the north to suppress the rebellion. This is obviously already in the guesswork of the common people. The marriage must have something to do.In addition, the eldest sons of the Marquis of Wenyuan and Marquis of Wu'an, the sons of the Right Prime Minister's mansion, and the outstanding heirs of many courtiers, all took this opportunity to be officially activated and entered the court.These did not surprise the common people, after all, it was time for the new generation of successors to emerge.

The only eldest grandson Qimu who surprised the people of Qingyue, the courtiers, and even the whole world, and looked forward to it, did not move at such a moment of intense attention, and no one even saw her for a while.

Because the gate of Liuyun Palace has always been that no one can break into it unless the owner is willing, even Emperor Yue is no exception.

So after the imperial decree was repeatedly blocked from entering the door, the unknown acquaintances couldn't sit still at first, and ran out of Liuyun Hall together in a hurry to ask the reason.Immediately afterwards, all the officials of Qingyue rushed to the gate of Liuyun Palace after hearing the news.

Roy knocked on the door of the inner hall amid such hustle and bustle, and she sighed inwardly, but she had no choice but to persuade in a low voice: "My lord, if you don't wake up the princess again, the courtiers outside will not leave , it will intensify the random guessing."

In the quiet and soft light, Jing Ran, who was leaning sideways beside the sleeping eldest grandson Qimu, frowned upon hearing this, retracted the palm covering the eldest grandson Qimu's ear, and reached out to touch her. sleeping hole.

Roy listened to his ears for a while, but there was no movement. He was about to knock again, when Jing Ran, who was dressed in clothes, silently opened the door from the inside, and quickly closed it again.

"Shi..." As soon as Roy opened his mouth, Jing Ran waved his sleeves lightly and sent him to the outer hall.

"What are they here for?" Jing Ran still frowned dissatisfiedly, and as he walked out, he asked Roy, who had not yet stood up straight, "Don't they know that the Liuyun Palace belongs to the third palace of the harem, and the foreign ministers No trespassing?"

"...They know it well, but the situation is critical right now, and it concerns the country and the country. As the leader of the Northern Expedition, the princess has not received the order and has not shown up for a long time. They don't know the situation, so they jump over the wall in a hurry." Roy was even more helpless. He responded with a loud voice, but he understood that Jing Shizi was so willful to let the princess sleep for a while. I really don't know what to say...

"Can you be more courteous when you are in a hurry?" Jing Ran raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid that everyone wants to take advantage of the trend and come here to flatter the new crown prince?"

"Even so, every move in this palace can't be hidden from the emperor. They can quarrel outside for so long, the emperor must have acquiesced." Roy thought for a while, and frowned.

Jing Ran stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, he turned back to the inner hall neatly, and came out again after a while dressed neatly.

Roy was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "My lord, do you want to go out?"

At this moment, the noise outside had turned into a sudden and loud shout in unison after a short pause, the shouts of "Your servants respectfully invite the Ninth Princess to come out of the palace to receive the order" continued one after another, lingering for a long time.

Jing Ran's footsteps did not stop at all, and he squinted at Roy while pulling the door, "No?"

Roy never thought of this, so he quickly thought about what Jing Ran said, didn't he?It's true that there is nothing wrong with it, but I don't know what kind of shock and amazement Jing Shizi's appearance will bring to the Qingyue officials outside, and even the people of the world after today.

As the gate of the Liuyun Palace was slowly opened, Prime Minister Zuo, the head of the hundred officials, raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop shouting temporarily.

However, the white-clothed figure slowly walking out of the hall made all the people who were about to buckle their heads stop suddenly, and were stunned for a moment.

Jing Ran glanced at the civil and military officials who were kneeling on the ground one by one, and first hooked his lips and asked: "What are you doing, my lords?"

"Why don't you talk?" After a brief pause, Jing Ran raised his eyebrows again and said, "It's just that I haven't seen you for a few months. Could it be that the adults don't know this son?"

"Still talking? Could it be that you are kneeling and unable to speak? Then all the adults please get up first."

After everyone was caught off guard by surprise, Jing Ran's non-stop questioning made everyone wonder where to speak. It was You Quite who reacted first and stood up, but he was still surprised and couldn't understand. Asked: "Dare to ask how Jing Shizi will come back?"

"Why did my son come back?" Jing Ran glanced at the ministers standing up one after another behind the right minister, and smiled, "When the country is in crisis, everyone is responsible. Shouldn't this son come back?"

Prime Minister on the right froze, nodded and said: "It's the truth that made a slip of the tongue."

"But it stands to reason that Jing Shizi is now the national teacher of Ganqiu, and he should be in the thirteen counties of Huaichuan in Ganqiu to help the epidemic. Now that you haven't seen Ganqiu's national book, how can you come back suddenly?" Marquis Wen Yuan glanced at the right minister. , and then asked aloud.

"How do you know that Ganqiu has not issued the letter of credence?" Jing Ran raised his eyebrows and asked back, and when Marquis Wen Yuan choked, he said lightly: "Ganqiu's credential came from a post station, so how can it be faster than this prince who came back day and night?" , moreover..."

Seeing that both of them couldn't get to the point, Prime Minister Zuo looked more and more at Jing Ran's peach-blossom face, the more horrified he became, and quickly interjected, "Then why did Prince Jing appear in the Liuyun Palace of His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess?"

"Huh? Zuo Xiang doesn't know?" Jing Ran was surprised, "I thought it was well known that Mu'er and I were in love with each other—" She paused deliberately when she said this, and said meaningfully: "So if I come back , I should come to her first."

The words startled all the officials, but everyone thought to themselves, who knows that the Ninth Princess has asked for marriage several times, but they are just pleasing each other?When did this develop? !

"Even so, how important is the reputation of the Ninth Princess, not to mention the wedding, you haven't even agreed on the marriage contract yet, how can you live in Liuyun Palace in a dignified manner?!" Marquis Wu An anxiously stared.

"Mu'er is someone who cares about fame?" Jing Ran slightly raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness, you don't know?"

Although Marquis Wu'an's eyes widened a bit, it was true. When did Changsun Qimu care about his reputation?Reputation aside, who in the past 15 years has seen her care about anything?

Seeing that Marquis Wu'an was also defeated, Cheng Yan, the official censor who was obviously different among the officials, but kept silent all the time, hesitated for a while and then said: "Even if the princess doesn't care, but the reputation is all right." Women are especially important, and Jing Shizi should also take care of protecting the princess."

"Maintenance?" Jing Ran raised his eyebrows and chuckled, blinking slowly and said: "My lords are all people with children. In this capital, this Qingyue, and even this world, how many people are coveting her, thinking about her, Xiao miss her, You should know all too well. So—"

"I'm talking nonsense, I wish that everyone in the world would know that she is mine, and stop thinking about her that shouldn't be there."

Jing Ran said these few words lightly and casually, but everyone, including Erxiang Erhou, was speechless. At the same time, he realized that the young son of the Deqin Palace, who had been away from Beijing for ten years, was so contemptuous of the world. Unrestrained temperament.

And this disdainful temperament made everyone feel inexplicably familiar for a while.

"Since that's the case, may I ask Mr. Jing, where is Your Highness the Princess? Why didn't you come out to receive the order?" Prime Minister on the right restrained his expression, and asked respectfully.

"Since she didn't come out to receive the order, there must be a reason why she couldn't. Treat her—" After all, Jing Ran didn't irritate the ears of the officials too much, and said it a little tactfully, but her next actions still surprised everyone. They all took a breath.

Because it symbolizes the authority of the royal family and shows the majesty of the imperial power, the imperial edict was respectfully and respectfully held in the hands of the eunuch, but after Jing Ran stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, he raised his sleeves and hooked it into his hand.Then he pulled it casually without even looking at it, turned around and walked back to Liuyun Palace.

Even in the face of such a rebellious behavior, no one dared to criticize Jing Ran's posture, and even the eunuch who passed the decree shut up as if frightened.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Jing Ran glanced back after crossing the threshold, and reminded: "I've accepted this order for her, and you should leave when it's time."

"Jing Shizi, wait!" You Lian hurriedly said again, solemnly said: "The country's society cannot be delayed. Prince Ni has already broken through the nine cities, and he is about to break through the natural danger of Xiafengling. I hope that the nine princesses can set out to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible."

"Don't talk about Xiafengling, so what if he has already arrived at the capital?" Jing Ran leaned against the door frame, with a calm heart, "A rebellious minister is a rebellious minister. In front of the Zhanglong chair, he will not be able to sit on that chair after all."

After Jing Ran finished speaking, she stood up abruptly, and at the same time swung her sleeves across the heavy palace door, never taking another look at the people outside the door.Otherwise, she would see a completely different but quite similar look on the faces of the ministers who supported the Qingyue court, because at that moment just now, when everyone looked at Jing Ran, they all thought of that Prince Deqin, who once fought off 30 enemies in Juyongguan by himself.

However, no one cared about their faces after all. After Jing Ran threw the imperial decree to Luo Xi who was standing at the door, he walked back to the inner hall without stopping.

Luo Xi kept her mouth open until she received the imperial decree, and asked Roy next to her in disbelief, "What happened to Mr. Jing today..." She paused, as if looking for words, but after thinking for a while, she found that she still couldn't describe it accurately. , I had to sum it up: "Why are you so tough? Public? Aggressive?"

Roy watched her talk for a long time and still couldn't get to the point, and said with disgust: "You should ask her why she is so angry today."

"So why?" Luo Xi was confused.

"Of course it was because of the noise made by those people outside the palace that the princess was disturbed from sleeping," Roy said.

"..."

Now even Luo Yi, who was hidden in the dark but pricked up his ears, sighed after Roy's words. They usually thought that His Highness the Princess loved Jing Shizi very much, but now it seems——Jing Shizi's love for the princess should be It is not lost.
