The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 188 Taking advantage of the situation
After searching for a month, there was no trace of him and everyone thought that the Crown Prince was dead.

The ministers in the court also thought so. They knelt in the hall and begged the emperor to mourn and accept the change.

The Duke of the Protectorate shouted, "Your Majesty, now is the time to announce to the world that the Crown Prince has passed away and the whole country is in mourning. May His Highness rest in peace!"

Shen Hui kicked him on the butt and said, "The Duke of Protectorate is already old. It's much better for him to go home and play with his children and grandchildren than to talk nonsense here."

The Duke of Protectorate covered his butt in embarrassment and wanted to speak, but he noticed the gazes of the ministers and didn't want to become a laughing stock, so he shut up.

The emperor gazed deeply at the group kneeling in the hall, his face gloomy. "My son's body has not yet been found, yet you are spreading rumors here, claiming that the crown prince is dead. What are your intentions?"

"Emperor calm down!"

The ministers began to protest their injustice.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Eunuch Yuan, read the imperial edict."

Eunuch Yuan held the yellow silk in his hand and spoke solemnly, "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:

I have heard that Heaven has blessed you with the birth of an heir to carry on the throne. This is not merely a sign of longevity, but a divine mandate. My eldest grandson is gifted with intelligence and a virtuous character. His integrity is righteous, his kindness and filial piety infused. He will undoubtedly carry on his father's aspirations and bring peace and stability to the nation.

Now, in accordance with the ancestral system and the will of Heaven, I have specially appointed you as the Crown Prince to inherit the foundation laid by my great ancestors and continue the royal bloodline.

"Now that this edict has been issued, the whole world will celebrate. Let all the people hear it and obey it!"

After Eunuch Yuan finished reading the imperial edict, the hall was completely silent, and the court officials had not yet reacted.

Prince Yunxian, who had come to court today, suddenly raised his head and shouted with a grim expression, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has passed away. How can you appoint a baby still in swaddling clothes as the Crown Prince?"

The emperor stared at him coldly, "Does Prince Yunxian mean to make you the crown prince?"

Before Prince Yunxian could open his mouth, he heard the emperor say with disdain: "Have you forgotten how the name Yunxian came about? The late emperor once said that you can only be an idle prince in a peaceful and prosperous era. After living for most of your life, do you want to compete for my position again?"

When these words were spoken, Prince Yun Xian's face turned pale. His lips moved, but he could not utter any words of rebuttal.

He did not forget his royal brother, who had fought his way out of the battle for the throne in the Nine Dragons. His wisdom and tactics were beyond his reach.

"Your Majesty, please think twice—"

Upon hearing the news, all the ministers came over and kowtowed in the hope that the emperor would revoke his order.

The title of Crown Prince cannot be appointed lightly!
The life or death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is uncertain, and it is most likely that he has died. The position of crown prince must be chosen from other bloodlines of the royal family.

The emperor actually issued such an order. If the emperor unfortunately passed away, wouldn't the child...

Seeing how anxious they were, the emperor ignored them and left.

The imperial edict to establish the Crown Prince was also sent to the Weiyang Palace. Shen Zhiyu received the edict on behalf of Suisui, but was so overwhelmed by it that she could not stand up.

How could she be given such a heavy title when her baby is not even one year old?
Since Wei Qingye is not around, she must protect the two children well, and no one can hurt Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao.

A hint of coldness flashed across Shen Zhiyu's glass eyes. She entered the hall and did not allow anyone to disturb her.

Qingdai and Lianyue were filled with worry, but they had no choice but to let their master be alone for a while.

Shen Zhiyu sat on the beauty couch, holding a teacup, and said in a firm voice, "Get out here!"

A dark figure suddenly appeared in the palace, "Luo Chen from the Ministry of Punishment greets Concubine Yue."

Shen Zhiyu looked at him with a sharp look in her eyes, "What did you find out? Just tell me."

Luo Chen smiled, his peach blossom eyes cold, "Jieyu, whatever you want to hear, I will tell you everything I know." Shen Zhiyu saw his unruly look, stood up and walked in front of him, poking his chin with a golden hairpin, "Do you think that I, a mere ignorant woman, am unwilling to use the Crown Prince's jade pendant to order you to do things?"

The smile in Luo Chen's eyes had not disappeared. He did not take a small hairpin seriously at all. "How dare I?"

Shen Zhiyu's fingertips moved slightly, and the hairpin blade instantly cut through the flesh on his neck. She then withdrew her hand, "Go away, this concubine does not need you anymore."

Luo Chen was stunned. He didn't expect the woman in front of him to say this.

"If Concubine Yue needs anything else, please feel free to instruct me."

Shen Zhiyu did not take Luo Chen's words seriously. Fortunately, she had the secret information left by Prime Minister Nan in the palace and got a lot of information.

As for the places outside the palace that she could not take care of, in addition to the help of General Shen's Mansion, she also sought help from the Jishidiang of Yaowang Valley, a martial arts force.

She had done what she should have done, so she should also do some of what she shouldn't have done. If the fire wasn't too big, how could it have blinded those people?
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Concubine Yue went to the Qianqing Palace with the imperial edict in hand to ask for an audience with the emperor.

In just a cup of tea, the emperor's furious voice scolding Shen Zhiyu could be heard in the palace.

The servants on duty outside the palace were terrified.

Finally, they watched Yue Jieyu stumble out, wiping her tears as she ran outside, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

Qingdai and Lianyue supported the staggering Concubine Yue and took her back to Weiyang Palace in a sedan chair.

Qingdai frowned and went to the imperial kitchen to pick up food. On the way back, she met Fan Meng again.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, "Brother Fan, why are you here?"

Fan Meng frantically took out the handkerchief from his arms and said, "Daidai, wipe it off. Don't, don't cry."

Qingdai's tears fell even more violently. She took the handkerchief with sobs and complained in a low voice: "Yue Jieyu lost her temper today and pinched me so hard that it hurt."

Qingdai stretched out her arm as she spoke. There was a conspicuous red mark on it, which made Fan Meng feel very distressed.

"Daidai, I'll buy you some ointment when I get off duty. It will definitely help you get better faster."

Qingdai nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Fan, you are the best person to me."

Fan Meng asked casually, "Daidai, have you ever thought about leaving since Concubine Yue treated you like this?"

Qingdai looked at him curiously, "What does Brother Fan mean?"

Fan Meng grabbed her arm and said excitedly: "What I mean is, I want to marry you and leave here together."

Qingdai looked at him with confused eyes, "Is it really possible?"

Fan Meng took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, leaned over and whispered softly in her ear, his voice very low.

Qingdai nodded from time to time, "Okay, Brother Fan, I will listen to you."

Fan Meng leaned over and touched her head, "Daidi is so good, Brother Fan will definitely marry you."

Qing Dai entered the Weiyang Palace carrying a food box. She placed the medicine bottle on the table and said, "Master, it seems that they have already set their sights on the Crown Prince."

Shen Zhiyu had never had such a strong desire to kill before. "I want to see who is behind this."

Qingdai nodded in agreement.
