Murong Ci was standing in the hallway, his figure was slender but quite majestic, with a cold and arrogant demeanor. The cool breeze at the turn of spring and summer blew up her sapphire blue sleeves, and she raised her chin slightly, her cold eyes swept over the twenty or so ministers at the bottom of the jade steps, without any fear, like a high-ranking queen examining the prostrate woman lying on the ground. subject.
She said coldly: "My loves are arguing here, I don't know if there is any important matter, if it is an important matter of the court, you should go to Yu Wang."
Taiwei Yang took a step forward, with his head held high, his eyes like lightning, "Recently there have been a lot of rumors in and out of the palace, and it has spread wildly. I don't know if Your Highness has heard of it."
"Oh what rumors?" She played dumb calmly.
"It is rumored that His Royal Highness is a daughter and is pregnant with an evil seed." He cut to the chase, his eyes shrinking coldly.
"Rumors stop at the wise. You are all important officials of the court, and you are the sages and wise men trusted and relied on by the emperor. You should know how to distinguish right from wrong. You don't need to pay attention to those nonsense rumors."
"His Royal Highness, if the rumor spreads with its nose and eyes, how could it be false?" Duke Rong said solemnly.
"Since His Royal Highness is not afraid of rumors, do you dare to verify his integrity?" Duke Qing said cunningly.
Some people echoed the "verification of integrity".
"As long as the old mothers in the palace test it, if His Highness is really a man, the ministers will not have any doubts." Yang Taiwei said righteously, but he couldn't hide the calculation on his eyebrows.
"If I wasn't a man, how could my father confer on me as the prince?" Murong Ci responded calmly.
"You deceived the late emperor, it is not impossible for the late emperor to be deceived by you." He retorted.
"After the mother gave birth to this palace, she died of a blood collapse. How can I pretend to hide it from my father and many palace people when I am still a baby?" She sneered, "Yang Taiwei, do you think my father is so stupid?" You can't even tell if a baby is a boy or a girl."
"I don't mean that." Yang Taiwei was so angry that the muscles on his cheeks twitched, and the others were speechless.
"It may not be without reason. The rumors inside and outside the palace are rampant, and soon the entire Great Yan Kingdom, and even the people in the world, will know that the crown prince of the Great Yan Kingdom is a girl who is promiscuous in the court and pregnant with evil seeds. His Royal Highness must verify it. Stay upright, stop the spread of rumors, and safeguard the reputation and state of Great Yan." Duke Qing said solemnly.
Others echoed eagerly.
Murong Ci had already expected that they would say this, and said with a sneer: "Just because you all believe in rumors and doubt me, is it necessary for me to verify my identity? It's a big joke in the world."
Rong Guogong sneered: "His Royal Highness refuses to verify his integrity, he must be guilty."
She said confidently: "It is a humiliation to the palace, a slander to the royal family, and a disrespect and doubt to the father. The father canonize the palace as the prince, and the palace is the prince of the Great Yan Kingdom. what a guilty conscience"
Taiwei Yang righteously said: "There is no need to talk about those falsehoods. His Royal Highness refuses to verify his integrity, that is a guilty conscience. In any case, the ministers will never let a woman inherit the great rule, corrupt the court, and bring disaster to the Great Yan Kingdom."
Murong Ci yelled angrily: "Presumptuous"
More than 20 ministers were not afraid of her anger at all, and all kinds of sneers came and went.
Duke Qing sneered coldly, "Your Highness insists on not verifying his identity, and the ministers will only be offended. In the enthronement ceremony in a few days, the ministers will protect the ancestral system of the Great Yan Kingdom even if they risk their lives."
Others echoed one after another, bluntly saying that a woman would never be enthroned.
"You guys won't be able to conspire against him." Her bright eyes flashed a murderous look.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, still think about how to explain which man belongs to the evil in his belly." Yang Taiwei sneered contemptuously, his eyes very contemptuous.
"If His Royal Highness doesn't explain clearly, then the evil seed in your belly can only be forcibly removed to protect the reputation of the royal family." Rong Guogong frowned treacherously.
"Bold" Qin Ruo was about to go mad with anger, but she didn't dare to say that the child in His Highness's arms belonged to Yu Wang.
"His Royal Highness, tell me quickly which man you've had sex with in the court." Someone continued to press.
"Quick explanation"
"Quick explanation"
Many ministers persecuted him one after another, and their faces were either irritable, treacherous, ruthless, or vicious.
The situation is critical, Ruyi is in a hurry, what to do, what to do, what to do
Your Highness is being forced to be like this by these ministers, will something happen to you? Why hasn't Yuwang come here
She tugged at Qin Ruo's sleeve and winked vigorously. If Qin Ruo understood what she meant, she had already sent someone to find Yu Wang.
However, it seems that Yu Wang is not in the palace, and it will take a while to rush over.
Murong Ci has already practiced the ability of "invincibility from a hundred poisons", facing their aggressiveness and forceful threats, he remained indifferent and treated them coldly.
"I'll say it again, I'm not afraid of the slanting shadow, you don't want to pour dirty water on me." Her eyes were like stars, and her voice was cold and piercing.
"His Royal Highness insists on not explaining, the minister can only offend." Yang Taiwei stared gloomyly, "Come here"
"The Royal King Arrives"
A high-pitched notification sound came from outside, like a thunderbolt.
The noisy East Palace suddenly fell silent, and the ministers turned around one after another, and then made way.
Murong Ci looked over with frowned, and smiled slightly.
&
nbsp;Murong Yu came slowly, stepping on the bright sunlight of the place, with a sleeve of spring and summer fragrance, the corners of the black robe fluttered lightly, and the sleeves fluttered as neatly as the wind.
Qin Ruo and Ruyi looked at each other excitedly and smiled, it would be great if the King Yu came, and His Highness would not have to face it alone.
The sun was slightly warm, but his snowy face was as cold as a glacier, exuding a biting chill, and his eyes were like knives like swords, which made people shudder.
All the ministers saluted one after another, "I have seen the prince."
He stepped up the jade steps, looked at Ah Ci tenderly, and said in a voice only she could hear: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Those ministers couldn't help feeling uneasy seeing Yu Wang's expression towards His Highness the Crown Prince.
In the past half a year, the personal relationship between Yuwang and His Royal Highness has been getting better and better, and there are more and more rumors. Those ministers can't figure out what Yuwang is thinking. Yulai City's mansion is extremely deep, wise and resourceful, cunning like a fox, and ruthless like a night wolf. Whether the friendship with His Highness the Crown Prince is a play or a real thing, they really can't figure it out.
Murong Ci gave him a cold look and didn't say anything.
"Everyone come to the East Palace, what's the important thing?" Murong Yu raised his voice, "In a few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take the throne, and I will supervise all matters related to enthronement. If you have any doubts, just come to me. "
"Hasn't the prince heard of the rumors that have been circulating inside and outside the palace these two days?" Taiwei Yang didn't believe it, because the eyes and ears of the royal king all over the palace would not know.
"Those rumors say that His Highness the Crown Prince is a daughter, and she is promiscuous with the court and pregnant with evil seeds. It is impossible for the prince not to know." Rong Guogong said bluntly.
"Of course I know." Murong Yu said seriously.
"How can a woman like the crown prince inherit the great power?" Yang Taiwei said sternly, "Furthermore, the crown prince is promiscuous in the court, and has a secret relationship with that man who doesn't know his origin. These national ugliness will be spread to all the world, and my Great Yan Kingdom will lose face and damage the national system. Since the prince knows it, he should clearly judge right from wrong and make a decision as soon as possible."
Murong Ci smiled secretly, but really wanted to know how Murong Yu would respond to the pressing questions of these ministers.
Duke Qing said indignantly: "My lord, His Highness the Crown Prince does not practice virtue, is frivolous and promiscuous, and has done things that harm the state and insult the royal family. You should explain clearly."
Someone continued: "To His Highness the Crown Prince, we must make a clear statement and hand over the promiscuous court man to get rid of the evil seed."
All the ministers were filled with righteous indignation, gnashed their teeth, and collectively persecuted Yu Wang, as if he was the adulterer.
Ruyi and Qin Ruo looked at each other, they were not so worried, as long as Yu Wang was around, His Highness would be safe.
Murong Ci watched from the sidelines without saying a word.
Murong Yu pressed his hands, and wherever his eyes went, there was frost on the ground, "The evil seed in the belly of His Highness the Crown Prince that you all talk about is the heir of this king. The adulterer who is promiscuous to the court that you all say is this king."
After all, he admired the wonderful and interesting expressions of the ministers with great interest, and looked arrogant.
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, splitting them apart, and smoke creaked from the top of their heads.
everyone was stunned
In the next moment, their big eyes met small eyes, their expressions were different and wonderful.
The evil seed in the belly of His Royal Highness is the heir of Yuwang
Yu Wang has long known that His Highness the Crown Prince is a daughter
This terrible truth made them breathless, how could this be
Qin Ruo and Ruyi smiled happily, seeing the shocked ministers whispering, disbelieving, or not knowing why, their hearts were filled with joy.
Murong Ci was unexpected, he didn't expect Murong Yu to admit it so readily.
It seems that since he appeared, he has always been calm, confident, and everything is under control.
However, their reactions were amusing.
"My lord is not joking." Someone asked with winking eyebrows.
"Can the prince's heirs make jokes casually?" Murong Yu said in a cold voice, "Are you going to get rid of the prince's children and execute the prince?"
"No, no," several people waved their hands again and again.
The truths followed one after another, and each one was like a bolt from the blue, they couldn't digest it at all.
Taiwei Yang recovered from the shock, and calmly said: "My lord, since His Royal Highness is really a daughter and is pregnant with his flesh and blood, then I will stay in the palace to raise the baby and wait for delivery. The enthronement ceremony in a few days' time should be postponed." .”
Ever since he found out that he was pregnant with Murong Yu's flesh and blood, Murong Ci has always had a doubt in his heart: the mastermind who secretly manipulated all this is to prevent her from ascending the throne
Murong Yu's eyes were as cold as the cold light of a sword just out of its sheath, extremely cold, "There is no need to delay, proceed as usual."
Yang Taiwei said earnestly: "The prince also knows that His Royal Highness is a princess, how can he inherit the great rule?"
"She is the crown prince conferred by the former emperor and the crown prince of the Great Yan Kingdom. It is only natural to inherit the great lineage. Even if she is a daughter, why not?"
"This is against the ancestral system."
"That's right, none of the emperors of the Great Yan Kingdom had princesses, but the ancestral system did not expressly stipulate that princesses are not allowed to inherit the throne."
"My lord, it's against God's will for a woman to govern."
ps: I estimated again, it should be finished in early April. Are you happy
