At this time, the three children had been carried down, and the room became quiet again. Lianyi opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at the prince whose bun was a little messy, and said intermittently:

"Prince, I am my concubine and my concubine's son"

"The kids are fine, don't worry."

"Prince, if my concubine is no longer here, you must take good care of the children!!"

After Ripple finished speaking, she looked at the prince persistently, waiting for his answer.

"Lianyi, don't worry, I will make the eldest brother Hongji the crown prince, and he will inherit my kingdom in the future."

The prince was also a little moved and immediately promised.

Because she received the Prince's assurance, Lianyi smiled at the corner of her lips, then fainted completely, and her breathing became a little weaker.

The prince felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he personally picked up Lianyi, placed him gently on the bed, and said to the pale-faced palace maid next to him:

"Change the princess's clothes and let the imperial doctor check her pulse later. We must do our best to treat her."

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

The two living maids replied with trembling voices.

The prince knew that although the princess's chest was still heaving, it was only a matter of time before she died, but she still had to do what she should do. If no rescue was done, and the prince was allowed to die like this, how would everyone think of him who was about to ascend the throne? emperor.

At this time Quanfu trotted to the prince's side and said:

"Prince, please go to Fengqi Palace and take a look! The Queen is not well!"

"What's going on? How could it be bad? Are all the people sent to protect the mother and queen dead?"

The prince's eyes sharpened and he immediately scolded.

"Reporting to the Crown Prince, it is true that there were serious casualties, but the Queen was tricked by the good concubine."

Quan Fu followed the prince closely and said as he walked.

"Exactly what it is, tell me clearly!"

"The good concubine used a hairpin stained with poison to cut the queen's arm. The queen died of poisoning."

Quanfu lowered his head and said.

"what!"

The prince paused and ran directly towards Fengqi Palace.

When he entered Fengqi Palace, what he saw were three corpses placed in the middle.

The empress died of poisoning, so her lips were purple and her orifices were bleeding.

Concubine De died after hitting a pillar. Her son was already dead. She had no hope and could not survive at all, so she chose to commit suicide.

When the concubine Liang saw the queen bleeding to death from her seven holes, she knew that she could not survive, and the men she had brought with her were almost dead, so she inserted the hairpin in her hand into her neck and chose to commit suicide.

The prince fell to his knees and cried bitterly:

"Mother! My father has been killed by the second and third sons, why do you want to leave me too!"

"Prince, my condolences!"

Quan Fu also knelt beside the prince and comforted him in a low voice.

The prince cried bitterly. This time he was really sad. He originally wanted to ask his mother to help him stabilize the harem, but now everything has come to nothing.

When the prince had cried enough, he reluctantly went to Qianhe Hall with Quanfu's support and summoned all the officials in the imperial city to deal with the next matter.

He wanted to sit on the throne as quickly as possible, complete the transition of power, and uproot the remaining influence of his second and third brothers.

"Quan Fu, ring the death knell and announce it to the world!" the prince said, pretending to be sad.

"Yes!"

When the first ray of sunshine appeared in the morning, it was followed by the death knell that rang through the imperial city.

The sound of horse hooves running back and forth in the city last night, as well as the sound of soldiers' armor rubbing against each other, made these people realize that something was about to change.

Sure enough, the emperor died! I just don’t know who among the three adult princes will have the last laugh.

The people quickly changed their clothes, took off their jewelry, put on mourning clothes, put away all red things, and expressed their condolences to the whole country.

Immediately afterwards, the palaces of the second and third princes were surrounded by royal guards, who were only allowed in but not allowed out. Everyone guessed that the final winner was the prince.

Sure enough, all the officials entered the palace that day and did not return to the palace until sunset and moonrise. Immediately afterwards, the prince held a funeral ceremony for the emperor and the queen, and read out the charges of patricide for the second and third emperor brothers, as well as the concubine De. Concubine He Liang was responsible for poisoning the queen and implicated the nine clans.

For a while after that, the blood on the Caishikou floor was never dried, and was washed every day. It was not until the new emperor successfully ascended the throne that the cleansing of dissidents stopped.

It is worth mentioning that the person who accompanied the new emperor to the throne was Lianyi, who should now be called the queen, and because she guarded the East Palace and vowed to protect her three children to the death, Queen Lianyi's position was very secure.

Meng Guangshen, who arrived in the imperial city in time, changed from a visit to a ceremony. Seeing his pale-faced "sister" sitting in the position that all women in the world coveted, he felt mixed emotions for a moment.

If it were his biological sister, not to mention protecting the child, she would probably be frightened to death when she encountered a palace coup. However, Lieutenant General Xia's daughter did a very good job, surpassing the average boudoir girl.

Another person who had some twists and turns was the prince. It was clear that when he held Lianyi, he had already regained his health, but in the end he was saved by Dr. Liang. Although he rewarded Dr. Liang, he also hinted that he should retire and return to his hometown as soon as possible. Otherwise, he won't be able to help but take it out on the other person.

After all, the candidate for his new queen has been decided. As a result, Lianyi came back to life. If he didn't make her his queen, General Meng would probably be the first to fall out. Didn't he send his second son here? It was obvious that he was going to give it to Meng. Ripples supported him.

He had just ascended the throne, and the political affairs in the court had not yet been smoothed out. If the border was in chaos at this time, he would definitely not be able to bear it. He did not dare to take the risk, and in the end he had no choice but to seal Lianyi as his queen.

Lianyi wore a golden phoenix court dress made of gold and jade pieces and a nine-phoenix crown. She sat in the supreme position with the new emperor and became the first person in the harem in the true sense.

After the enthronement ceremony was over and the new emperor and the new queen completed the ceremony of worshiping heaven, the emperor plunged into the court. There were piles of news to read every day, and he had to balance the forces of many parties. He was so busy that he only slept for two days a day. hour.

Ripple felt much more relaxed at this time. The three nannies were now very respectful to Ripple. In addition to feeding the children on time every day, they did not dare to approach the three princes at will. This was also the new queen's request.

Lianyi’s original words are:

"They only provide food rations to the children. There is no need to get too close to the children. If they do want to get close, it is to get close to me, the queen."

Grandma Sun also became the steward, and Lanzhi became the first-class palace maid. She became the right-hand man of the new queen, and her status was incomparable.

Lianyi asked Grandma Sun beside her:

"Mommy, did you see my second brother when you left the palace?"

"Reporting to the Queen, I have seen the second young master."

"Is everything okay at home?"

"The second young master said everything is fine at home. As long as you are fine, everything will be fine at home."

After hearing this, Lianyi continued:

"Are you ready for everything I asked you to prepare?"

"Everything is ready."

"Now that you are ready, let me send you out of the palace early and let my second brother bring the gifts prepared by me back to the border. This is your daughter's filial piety."

"Yes, I will order you to load the car now and send it out of the palace tomorrow."

Lianyi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Lanzhi to hold the three children in front of her. She looked at them one by one and found nothing unusual. She played with the children for a while, and when the three little ones started to yawn, she let them go. People take a lunch break with their children in their arms.

Xuanfeng walked to Lianyi's feet with elegant cat steps and rubbed the hem of her skirt.
