Early the next morning, news came from the palace that although he had inherited the throne, he had not formally enthroned, let alone the new emperor who had been listening to the government for a day.

After hearing the news, almost everyone in the capital was taken aback.

You must know that the new emperor was suddenly diagnosed with a terminal illness before the enthronement ceremony. All the officials were obviously surprised and suspicious about what happened in the early court.

Some people even secretly speculated whether the new emperor deliberately pretended to be sick to deceive the world, but was secretly carrying out some plans, or to observe whether the ministers were loyal. If this was the case, some people would be in disaster, especially those who People who oppose the succession of the new emperor.

Hearing this news, Lin Yufen, Lin Bingquan and Zhang Lianwu were the most shocked and unbelievable.

Two days ago, a palace maid reported that Sima Chun was terminally ill and would die soon, so how could he still have the thought and energy to call all the officials to court?

It is true that Sima Chun has an incurable disease, and it is impossible to cure it. If he did this suddenly, could it be that he was thinking about some last wish?Or was it something to do with the rumors they'd heard this morning?

Is that person really back?Could it be that, as the rumors spread, that person not only held the last emperor's edict, but also led hundreds of thousands of troops back to Beijing, trying to seize the power they had so hard to get?

No!They will never allow it!

So Lin Yufeng and Lin Bingquan hurried to the Jinluan Hall with gloomy faces before Sima Chun's order to send them to court came.

And Zhang Lianwu urgently sent a message to the three hall masters Juechen Gongzuo and Fengleizhu, ordering the four to lead all their subordinates back to the palace immediately to prevent any accidents.

Xu Yushi and others also received the news from the early court, as well as some ministers who had already retired from office. With excuses, these people were dismissed and demoted, and all of them were summoned into the palace by Sima Chun this time.

In Luoxia Palace.

Seeing Lan Jue brought back from Qinzheng Palace, Sima Chun wrote in his own handwriting asking her to attend the morning court, saying that he would give her a letter of explanation, Qingyun frowned deeply, and her face was as quiet as a pool of water, which made people feel sad. Can't see what she's thinking.

Ling'er, Li Feixue and the others looked at Qingyun with worried and puzzled faces, and wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say.

Gently holding Qingyun's hand, Mo Xuan, who had recovered his original face, looked calm, and those bewitching eyes were as clear, peaceful and lofty as the autumn sky.

The warm and firm feeling coming from the palm made Qingyun's mind move, she calmed down her complicated emotions, and looked sideways at Mo Xuan beside her. The tenderness and pampering that had never changed lingered tightly in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking of Sima Chun sighed softly again: "He is just a poor man."

Sima Chun was originally a pawn in Lin Yufen's fight for favor and power, and he lived under Lin Yufen's resentment and lust all his life.

Now I am suffering from an incurable disease, suffering from pain and torture every day and night, and the indifference and use of my relatives, how sad and pitiful.

"Each person has his own destiny. Since it's his choice, he can't blame anyone else, and you don't have to feel sorry for him."

"I'm not sorry for him, but I have some sympathy for him. I've been a pawn in other people's hands all my life, and I'm still young..." Qingyun shook her head slightly, with a trace of pity in her calm expression He Qingsu was full of emotions in his heart.

Seeing Sima Chun last night, she clearly noticed that Sima Chun seemed to have changed a lot. Maybe it was because he knew that his time was numbered, or maybe it was the indifference and calculations of his relatives after he got sick, which completely chilled his heart. As for the whole person, he is completely different from before.

Because of Mo Xuan, and because she understood that Sima Chun couldn't help herself, she had gradually let go of her hatred for Sima Chun.

It's just that Sima Chun, who was once high-spirited, has become so skinny and decadent, waiting alone for the moment of death, and sighed for a while.

Qingyun sighed again: "Forget it, as you said, it was his choice and he can't blame anyone!" After a pause, he said solemnly: "No matter what the intention of Sima Chun's sudden summoning of the officials to the early court is, we will We must be fully prepared, especially to guard against Lin Bingquan and Zhang Lianwu's desperation. After all, the two of them are extremely scheming and vicious. When they hear the news that we have returned to Beijing, they will definitely not sit still. There will inevitably be a fight A life-and-death bloody battle, as for Lin Yupeng..."

Having said that, Qingyun stopped, her brows were quiet and cold, and there was a hint of complexity.

Everyone has the right to love and be loved. In order to get the heart and affection of the one she loves, Lin Yulin has become paranoid and even unscrupulous. She can only say that her way is different, but it cannot be measured by right or wrong, let alone in order to protect Living in the country of the one he loves, Lin Yufen did not hesitate to fight in the same room with his biological father.

However, the hatred of Lin Yufeng who poisoned and murdered her biological mother, the hatred of framing her and mutilating the people around her in her previous life, she must make Lin Yufeng repay double!

"Longying, lead people to closely monitor Lin Yufen and the mysterious person hiding beside her. Without my order, don't act rashly!"

Long Ying was seriously injured by that person last time, and Lin Yufeng also possessed martial arts, so she had to be careful.

According to Murong Qingyi's description, although she is not 100% sure whether that person is the person he knew, after all, that person has passed away for many years, but she has been warned repeatedly that once she meets that person, she can avoid it. However, proceed with caution.

Of course, Murong Qingyi didn't know at that time that the Ziyi guard and the dark guards had all undergone strict special training. Fighting alone might not be his opponent, but the Ziyi guard and the dark guard are best at fighting together, and their moves are clean and neat. Never sloppy, even the first-class top masters, facing the siege of the purple guards and the dark guards, they will either die or be captured without a fight.

"Your subordinate obeys the order!" Long Ying respectfully responded and disappeared without a trace.

"The rest of the people strictly follow the previous plan without any mistakes and ensure their own safety! Do you remember?"

"My ministers (subordinates) have all remembered!" Everyone said in unison.

Qingyun glanced at everyone present one by one, Qingyun's eyes were full of intimidating majesty, and she exuded an innate aura of arrogance all over her body. She waved her hand, and everyone saluted respectfully before leaving quickly.

The Golden Luan Hall was almost full of people, much more people than before in the early courts. There were even several old ministers who were over sixty years old, members of the royal family who had little power, and those who had received the new emperor's decree not long ago and had to leave. Several feudal lords rushed back to the capital.

Some ministers standing in the front whispered and exchanged their opinions, while the lowly or timid officials shrank back, not daring to talk like those high-ranking ministers, but everyone vaguely knew that something big might happen today .

Judging from where they stood, these civil and military ministers had been divided into four factions.

One faction surrounds Lin Bingquan, another faction surrounds Zhang Zishan, another faction surrounds Prince Rui, Taifu Han and Marquis Huguo, and there is another faction that seems to be independent. Apart from the three factions, there are not many people, including those veterans who are over sixty years old With some royal family members, as for those vassal princes, they obviously chose Prince Rui's faction.

And the people from the first two factions who had fought bloody battles a few days ago now stared closely at Prince Rui and the others, with vigilant and puzzled expressions.

Staring at Prince Rui and the others, Lin Bingquan's eyes were ruthless, the corners of his lips were drawn into a straight line, and his hands under the official robe were vaguely clenched into fists.

Aren't these people imprisoned in the prison?How can you come to the morning court?

He was sure that this was definitely the idea of ​​the dying grandson, what exactly did the grandson want to do?

"The emperor has arrived...the empress dowager has arrived..." The eunuch's sharp and high-pitched voice suddenly sounded from the hall.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and almost everyone turned their eyes to the dragon chair, which represented the highest power and unrivaled honor.

Following the sound of footsteps, Sima Chun, who hadn't seen him for nearly a month, walked in slowly wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, supported by two eunuchs. Perhaps he hadn't seen the sun for many days, and Sima Chun's complexion looked dark yellow and thin. The pair of eyes became more protruding and deep, but the lips were as red as blood, and the dragon robe that was originally tailor-made was already loose on the body.

Lin Yufeng came after him holding the hand of the maidservant, with a gorgeous face, a golden waffle pinned to a black silk bun, long beads swaying between her temples, and a golden phoenix robe embroidered with a hundred birds facing the phoenix. It set off the whole person's grace and luxury, but a trace of melancholy seemed to be absent between the brows.

"The ministers and others join the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Except for the faction headed by Prince Rui who still stood still, the rest of the people knelt down and saluted.

"Everyone is flat!"

Glancing at Sima Rui, who had a stern expression with mockery and indifference, a dark light flashed across Sima Chun's eyes.

He knew that Sima Rui also loved Jiu'er deeply, and would sacrifice his life for Jiu'er, just like what he saw in his dream, but unfortunately Sima Rui had already married Xu Kexin, so he was destined to have nothing to do with Jiu'er.

Looking down at those courtiers in a blink of an eye, Sima Chun's tone was surprisingly calm: "Come here, let me announce the decree."

"Wait!"

Sima Chun frowned, and looked slightly sideways at Lin Yupeng, who was sitting one step behind on the left: "I am the current emperor, a concubine and a concubine who can enter the Golden Luan Palace is already very beautiful, and the palace stopped me." Now that I announce the imperial decree, does the concubine mother know what crime she has committed?"

The deep eyes, the indifferent tone, and the half-smile demeanor inexplicably made Lin Yufeng feel a little ominous in his heart.

The person in front of her was no longer the emperor who had obeyed her since she was a child, but an emperor who exuded indifference and majesty from the bottom of his heart. She suddenly felt a little strange, so strange that she was a little scared.
