C379 Secret Decree

In King Chu's Mansion, when Mu Ruqing heard the sound of the golden clock, the needle in her hand pierced into her finger and the embroidery on her hand fell off.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Lingyue pulled Mu Ruqing's hand.

Mu Ruqing did not care about the blood flowing from her finger as she asked Lingyue to get the answer, "This is the Emperor's guest?"

Lingyue heard two sounds and her expression was solemn as she nodded.

Mu Ruqing broke free from Lingyue's hand and was about to step out.

"Where is the Empress going? " Lingyue chased after her.

"Yu Longchen." Mu Ruqing lifted her skirt and could not move fast.

"Royal Mother. Wuwuwu, I'm afraid. " Yu Jingmo walked in with small steps. When he saw Mu Ruqing, he started crying.

" Jingmo is not afraid. " Mu Ruqing hugged Yu Jingmo and comforted him gently, "This is only the sound of the bell. Jingmo is a man now."

"Yes." Yu Jingmo pouted and agreed, but he did not let go of Mu Ruqing's hand.

"The Princess is worried about the Royal Highness, I understand, but even if the Princess enters the Palace now, she cannot help the Royal Highness." Lingyue advised from behind. She was also worried, "Little Jingmo needs the Princess the most now."

"Lingyue, did Changxu follow the Royal Highness into the Palace?" Mu Ruqing suddenly thought of something. The worry on her face did not decrease but increased instead.

Lingyue nodded.

"Then you can go. Gather all the hidden guards of the Imperial Residence. I have some instructions." Mu Ruqing carried Yu Jingmo into the house.

Lingyue responded and quickly left.

Yu Longyun, who was in the mansion, could not stay calm. The moment she heard the bell, she felt that the world had turned dark. The teacup in her hand fell down and she ran outside.

Mu Jun was originally in the upper court. When the Emperor vomited blood, he felt that something was wrong and rushed back.

The magistrate court for the two of them was the original residence of Yu Longyun. The Emperor had bestowed a marriage to the two of them and made the residence the magistrate court for the two of them.

Yu Longyun, who just went out, bumped into Mu Jun. Mu Jun hugged her.

Yu Longyun looked up and her face was full of tears. "Husband, what happened to Royal Father? ! Is he alright? I heard it wrong. Two days ago, I went to the Palace to see him. He is still fine, husband."

"Butler, prepare the carriage and enter the Palace." Mu Jun's heart ached for her. He put his arm around her shoulder and walked out the door.

The Imperial Palace was in a mess. It was in the living room, and the officials were arguing with each other.

"King Yi's meritorious service is illustrious, and he is also the eldest son of the direct line. This official respectfully invites King Yi to ascend to the throne!" The official who was protecting the king immediately knelt down.

Mu Po stood still, and it did not fit them.

"Prime Minister Mu, do you have any objections?" Yu Longzi tilted his head slightly and looked at Mu Po's threatening face.

"What is the meaning of this, King Yi?" Yu Longchen was still kneeling beside the emperor's bed. He turned his head and looked at Yu Longzi who was standing there. "Royal Father didn't say that King Yi is the candidate for the throne."

"Did Royal Father say that it is King Chu? He has grown up in an orderly manner..." Before Yu Longzi could finish his words, he heard Gao Mao interrupt.

"This old servant has something to say." Gao Mao held something in his hand and stepped forward, "This is deceased emperor's secret decree. All ministers, accept it!"

Yu Longzi's right eyelid twitched. Looking at the decree in Gao Mao's hand, his legs stiffened and he could not kneel down no matter what.

The officials looked at each other and did not kneel down.

The Empress also felt uneasy as she stared at the Imperial Decree in Gao Mao's hands and questioned, "Bengong is the Empress. If deceased emperor has any secret Imperial Decree, why did he not give it to Bengong? Instead, he gave you a servant? Could it be that someone bribed you and made you do something that goes against the laws of heaven! "

"Although this old servant is a servant, he has served deceased emperor for several decades, nothing else. This was the first time Gao Mao's attitude towards the Empress was so stiff. "deceased emperor trusts this old servant and passed the secret decree to this old servant to read. The Son of Heaven Seal is also with this old servant." Empress's speculation is that it is disrespectful to deceased emperor!"

Mu Po flung his clothes and knelt on the ground. The Grand Secretariat also knelt down. More and more officials knelt down to receive the decree.

On the other hand, Yu Longzi's people did not stand or kneel, waiting for Yu Longzi's action.

"What is King Yi afraid of?" Yu Longchen was kneeling before Gao Mao. "The secret edict hasn't been read yet, but King Yi is already afraid of this. Is he afraid that all his previous efforts will be wasted? "

Only Yu Longzi could understand the meaning behind these words. He was startled, he knew what was going on.

Yu Longzi didn't think about it and knelt down. Only then did those ministers kneel down. The Empress was unwilling and her face turned red, but she had no choice but to listen.

"By the decree of the Emperor, I have already passed away. King Chu held it parallel to his chest. He had illustrious merits, was gentle and virtuous, and had the talent of an emperor. Zhen will pass on the throne to King Chu, and all the officials will assist the new emperor! "After Gao Mao finished reading, everyone's mood was different.

" This official will accept the decree! "Yu Longchen kowtowed three times and stood up. With every step he took, the hatred in Yu Longzi's eyes increased until he personally saw Yu Longchen receive the decree and the Son of Heaven Seal.

"Congratulations to the new Emperor!" Mu Po was the leader, and the ministers shouted.

The minister on Yu Longzi's side was helpless.

Deceased emperor did this and found these ministers before he died. It was to give Yu Longchen a guarantee that Yu Longzi would not have any other chances. deceased emperor did not reveal any of his intentions. During the ten days he was recuperating, on the contrary, he kept revealing the false impression that he wanted to pass the position to Yu Longzi.

This time, the Empress really panicked and panicked. When she heard the decree, she was already numb. Her entire body went numb from head to toe, and her entire body was cold. In the end, she actually did not feel anything.

Yu Longzi got up and gritted his teeth. Every word was squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth. "Gong! He! New Emperor!"

Yu Longchen looked at him indifferently. Yu Longzi thought that this throne must have belonged to him, so how could he know that Yu Longchen had put in so much effort?

Yu Longchen knew what Yu Longzi would do to deceased emperor, but he did not stop him. That was why he felt guilty just now.

Deceased emperor was uncertain during those few days, but Gao Mao was Yu Longchen's man, and deceased emperor trusted him very much. When deceased emperor was ready to write the secret decree, Gao Mao quietly recommended Yu Longchen.

Deceased emperor was also biased towards Yu Longchen. Therefore, after Yu Longtang's death, he wasn't in a hurry to appoint a crown prince, because deceased emperor knew that when he was alive, those ministers would surely have some objections.

Adding Bai Ming's help, the Emperor felt more and more ashamed of Yu Longchen. Perhaps deceased emperor also knew that Yu Longzi poisoned him, but deceased emperor did not expose him. He was tired and did not want to care anymore.

"I would like to invite the new emperor to the throne today!"

"I respectfully invite the new Emperor to ascend the throne today!"

The cheers were like tidal waves. Yu Longchen was born with the aura of an emperor. His magnetic voice was extremely penetrating and carried endless majesty. "Rise!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The ministers submitted.

Mu Po was more and more certain that deceased emperor's decision was correct.

"Tomorrow is the coronation. The Ministry of Rites will prepare the relevant matters!" The Prime Minister said.

"Ah." Veins popped up on Yu Longzi's head and neck. Without asking for permission, he clenched his fists and left! When he ran into Yu Longyun outside, he gave her a vicious look and left.

Yu Longyun did not care anymore and followed Mu Jun in a hurry.

When she saw Yu Longchen, she was stunned for a few seconds and then tears rolled down her face. "Fifth brother."

Yu Longchen nodded. He was not unfamiliar with it, but his aura made people respect and not dare to kiss him.
