She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 479: A sudden change

what sound?
Ye Xuwan suddenly opened her eyes. She was so tired that she lay down on the chaise longue to rest.

"Hua Ying, what happened outside?" She asked in a panic. The bell sound was wrong.

Hua Ying ran in hurriedly from outside, "Your Highness, something happened."

"Boom!"

The bell rang again, and Ye Xuwan immediately stood up and walked under the eaves, looking up at the sky outside.

She could still vaguely hear the chaotic voices of the palace servants, and her face darkened.

If she heard correctly, this was the Dragon Funeral Bell, and it seemed that His Majesty had passed away.

Hearing the bell, all the concubines in the palace had to go to the funeral, and Ye Xuwan also changed into plain clothes and went.

Mo Qingsong acted quickly and took action against His Majesty the day after the news of the Crown Prince's disappearance arrived.

But this is patricide after all. Can he bear such a crime?

"The princess is here!"

When everyone heard the voice, they immediately stood up and saluted her.

Ye Xuwan slowly walked to the front, almost standing in the same row with Mo Qingsong.

If the Crown Prince was still there, he should naturally stand in the front position, but the Crown Princess's behavior was a bit against the rules.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess, this is your place." The maid said with a smile.

Ye Xuwan looked in the direction she said, and that was right next to Ye Qingwan.

If she didn't put on some airs at this time, those people would just think that the people in the East Palace were easy to bully.

Not only concubines from various palaces were here, but also ministers from the previous dynasty, and they were all waiting here.

"I am pregnant with the dragon heir. If the prince doesn't come back, this child should be the next crown prince." There is nothing unreasonable for her to stand here.

As soon as Ye Xuwan said this, everyone's faces turned extremely ugly. There was nothing wrong with what she said.

"Crown Princess, do you know that the baby in your belly must be a prince?" Ye Qingwan spoke immediately. Even if it was a prince, this child had to give way to his uncle.

I knew she would stand up and say something like this. Ye Xuwan raised the corner of her mouth, "The prince has taken his pulse. If he moves, it will be the prince."

There were sporadic voices coming from behind, and everyone began to discuss cautiously.

If this is a prince, then this child can sit on the throne directly.

"Princess, please be careful with your words."

Mo Qingsong's tone was slightly scolding. In front of so many people, what she said would only make the situation uglier.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry that I can't do as you wish. The late emperor was in good health, but he fell ill and never woke up. Now he has lost his life. Who should be blamed for this? Your Highness, please give the world an explanation as to whether the late emperor died a violent death."

Ye Xuwan stood in the front, filled with indignation, and the ministers behind her also agreed.

The people standing on her side were naturally the officials under Mo Yunzheng. They knew that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince had a deep relationship, so they would naturally stand on the side of the Crown Princess.

"Yes, the late emperor died suddenly. If you tell anyone about this, no one will believe it."

Mo Qingsong's face looked very ugly. It seemed that Ye Xuwan was planning to alienate these ministers from herself.

It was easy for him to sit on the throne, but it was not an easy task to win over these ministers and the people of the world.

Concubine Lin looked at the person in front of her and gave him a wink.

"Someone come here!" The soldiers hiding in the dark immediately came out and surrounded everyone. Ye Xuwan immediately felt something was wrong.

It seems that he has been pushed into a corner and is about to rebel.

"The late emperor worked diligently for the country and the people. His sudden death was caused by a long-standing illness."

Mo Qingsong spoke up immediately and said that if anyone else continued to talk about it in private, then don't blame the soldiers for being blind with their knives.

"Mo Qingsong, you are rebelling!" Ye Xuwan spoke immediately. This was a serious crime of treason, and he was naturally the one who could not be forgiven.

With a swish, the soldier pulled out the tip of the knife, and the bright light made people panic.

"The Crown Princess is pregnant and should not be tired. Someone, take the Crown Princess downstairs to rest."

Several palace maids immediately came to Ye Xuwan, and she had no choice but to follow them.

Mo Qingsong's men did not send Ye Xuwan back to the East Palace, but took them both to a remote house.

"Master, what should we do now?" Hua Ying was a little worried. It was obvious that the eldest prince was going to rebel, but the crown prince had not returned yet. What should they do inside and outside the palace?

Ye Xuwan raised her hand and placed it on her stomach, "I believe him."

He said he would come back safely, so I'll wait for him here.

Mo Qingsong controlled all the civil and military officials, and he even sat directly on the dragon throne.

The previous emperor had just passed away, and his intention to take the throne was already very obvious.

"Everyone, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Now that the prince is missing, looking at the royal heirs, I am the only one who can sit on the throne."

Mo Qingsong stood in front and spoke, the throne belonged to him.

The ministers all had extremely ugly faces, except for a few who stood on his side who gave unconditional support. The rest of the ministers all had extremely ugly faces.

"Your Highness, the last emperor has passed away and the crown prince is missing. It is not appropriate to establish a new emperor at this time."

The prince just disappeared, which doesn't mean he is dead.

The late emperor did not leave any will to pass on the throne, so the throne should naturally belong to the crown prince. Moreover, the eldest prince has a violent temperament, so this act is tantamount to treason.

"Master Zhang, the crown prince is missing. If he doesn't come back, the new emperor won't be established. What will happen to the common people? Now that there is no one on the throne, what will happen to the border countries?"

Mo Qingsong spoke slowly, those barbarians who covet our dynasty’s territory will naturally wait for an opportunity to act, and by then there will be no way to save it.

These words caused the hall to fall into silence. "Your Highness, I think that Your Highness should not sit on the throne, nor is he worthy of sitting on the throne."

Mr. Zhang's brows were furrowed, and at first glance it seemed that half of his hair had turned white.

He was supposed to retire and return to his hometown to enjoy his retirement this year, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Once the situation changes, the prince rebels, the throne is shaky, and the country is about to collapse. He has to stand up.

"Master Zhang, do you know what you are saying?" Mo Qingsong narrowed his eyes, with a hint of cruelty in them.

The looks in people's eyes were a mixture of admiration and pity, because they admired his courage to say these things, but also felt pity that he would soon die.

Not only will you lose your own life, but your family will also be implicated.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's action is tantamount to treason. As subjects, we should serve the country and the people..." Before he could finish his words, a flying knife pierced into Lord Zhang's chest. Blood spurted out and he fell straight down.

The other officials were frightened by this move, as they had just seen where the flying knife came from.

The flying knife came from the eldest prince's hand. It seems that the eldest prince wants to eliminate all the ministers who disobey him.
