Dressed as the vicious stepmother of the villains

Chapter 421 The Will
"How is your majesty?" the leader, Mr. Zhao, opened his mouth and asked, his questioning eyes fell on Qiao Lianlian's face.

Qiao Lian pursed his lips again and again, with a sad expression on his face, without saying a word.

Everyone present was shocked.

"The emperor...has the funeral?" Mr. Zhao couldn't believe it, "you girl, answer quickly, what happened to the emperor?"

Qiao Lianlian still lowered his head and said nothing.

At this moment, even Ji Yunshu couldn't stand anymore. He hurriedly walked up to Qiao Lianlian, put his hands on her shoulders, and said in a trembling voice, "Lianlian, Your Majesty... really left?"

Only then did Qiao Lianlian raise her plain face, and nodded with tears in her eyes.

The emperor is gone!

The emperor's funeral is over!
No matter how long these old ministers have been arguing with each other unscrupulously outside, when they actually heard the news, everyone was still shocked.

A moment later, dozens of ministers knelt down in unison, crying, "Your Majesty!"

That voice was loud.

Qiao Lian was so frightened that he trembled for a moment, and he felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he gave the old emperor a tranquilizer, otherwise he might wake him up on the spot.

"Royal father." The prince also froze in place, with mixed expressions on his face.

He took two steps forward, as if he wanted to see the last face of the old emperor, but stopped again for some reason.

The other ministers were also crying and howling.

No one wanted to see if the old emperor was really dead.

Because they have been looking forward to this scene for a long time.

"His Royal Highness, please hurry up to inherit the great rule and stabilize the hearts of the people of Dayu." Mr. Zhao said while wiping away his tears, "Also, let's mourn."

The prince lowered his head and did not speak.

On the contrary, Ji Yunshu, who had been repeatedly reminded by Qiao, suddenly said, "I don't know that the emperor passed away suddenly, but he left a last message. Where is Eunuch Li Jian? Where did Eunuch Li Jian go?"

What he said reminded everyone.

Even the prince raised his head to search, and happened to see Li Jian coming out of the small door.

"Eunuch, where are you going?" The prince frowned, "Father's funeral, you are not here to guard, is there anything more important?"

Eunuch Li Jian lowered his head and said, "The slave is going to get the edict."

Legacy!

These two words are more powerful than the emperor's funeral. Immediately, all the ministers stopped crying.

They raised their heads in unison, staring at Eunuch Li Jian's hand, their eyes were so hot that they almost burned people to death.

Thanks to Eunuch Li Jian's excellent psychological quality for so many years, otherwise it would be really easy to scare them.

"What is in the edict, let Gu come and have a look." The prince stretched out his hand.

Eunuch Li Jian stretched out the edict slowly, but one of them fell to the ground without holding it firmly, and rolled twice on the ground, leaking out a section of black characters on a yellow background.

A minister who was close glanced at him twice, and was immediately speechless in shock.

Because Yu Feicheng's name was clearly written on it.

Sure enough, the old emperor still intervened in the matter of being the next prince. He had favored Yu Feicheng during his lifetime, and he really wanted to make Yu Feicheng the next prince after his death.

This is a big deal.

Coincidentally, the minister who saw the content of the will was an old minister of the Sun family. He immediately turned his head and whispered in the ear of Mr. Zhao who was next to him.

Mr. Zhao opened his eyes wide in shock, his inner thoughts were surging, and after a while, there were only two words left, "Take it away."

This will must not be published, absolutely not!

He glanced at Mr. Sun, then at Zhao Heng, and when Eunuch Li Jian bent over to pick up the edict, he suddenly yelled "Ouch".

Zhao Heng immediately stood up, "Father, what's the matter with you? But the back pain happened again?"

He supported Mr. Zhao thoughtfully, but there was no trace of his feet, and he lightly touched the will.

The originally round paper roll immediately rolled towards Mr. Sun's feet.

Grandpa Sun crushed it with one foot, and then kicked another minister's foot.

Originally, according to this rule, the edict made of silk paper would be trampled to pieces sooner or later, and no handwriting could be seen anymore.

But when Yi Zhao kicked the Li family's feet, the old man didn't know what happened, so he kicked backwards.

The original edict rolled up completely rolled away, and the clear black characters on the yellow background stood out in everyone's eyes.

Zhao Heng's face was ashen, and he wanted to stretch out his feet again, but because of the distance, it was too late.

"...Now that I have passed away, I would like to hand over the throne to my grandson Yu Feicheng...to show my benevolence, and heaven and earth will be with me..."

When seeing the content of the will, the audience was silent.

Not only the prince, but Zhao Heng, the old man of the Zhao family, and everyone from Yu Feisheng's faction.

Even Qiao Lianlian was stunned.

She just asked Eunuch Li Jian to forge a will to make Yu Feicheng the next prince, in order to force Yu Feisheng and others to make trouble, and wait for the old emperor to wake up so they can settle accounts with them. opportunity.

But who knew that Eunuch Li Jian was so fierce that he directly pretended to be a legacy edict.

This... this is an extraordinary event.

Not to mention Yu Feisheng and others, even the crown prince has to be implicated.

Passing on the throne from one generation to the next is simply unheard of and unprecedented.

After a brief silence, the entire inner hall boiled.

"This is impossible." Zhao Heng was the first to yell. His eyes were red, and he looked like he was insane. "The throne has never been passed down from generation to generation. The Dayu Dynasty has never had such a thing. It is absolutely impossible."

By making Yu Feicheng the crown prince, Yu Feisheng still has a chance.

But if Yu Feicheng became emperor directly, Yu Feisheng would have no chance at all.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The prince also murmured in a low voice, but he was not as excited as Zhao Heng.

Dozens of ministers whispered to each other, some with despair and some with excitement.

Only Qiao Lianlian, with a frozen expression and uneasy heart.

At this moment, she couldn't tell whether Eunuch Li Jian was an enemy or a friend.

"Your Highness, although you don't want to admit it, the edict is like this, and this old slave can't do anything about it." Eunuch Li Jian picked up the tattered edict from the ground and held it tightly in his arms, "After all, this is the emperor's idea , the old slave is just a preserver of the will.”

The prince's expression froze.

Zhao Heng stood beside him, his hands trembling violently, he turned his head suddenly, and his cold eyes fell directly on Yu Feicheng.

Qiao Lianlian subconsciously stood in front of his son.

"The edict belongs to the edict, but the crown prince is still here, and I have never heard of the succession." Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, who knows whether this edict is true or not."

"Yes." The prince came back to his senses, his eyes flickered for a moment, "The authenticity of the edict has not been confirmed yet, bring it here."

Eunuch Li Jian clasped his chest with both hands, stepped back step by step, and said, "Your Highness, this old slave watched the emperor write it down with his own eyes. How can you deny the authenticity of this edict? Could it be...you want to disobey the emperor last wish?"

Going against the emperor's last wish is a nice way of saying it.

The ugly term is called "rebellion".
