Chapter 244: The coronation ceremony is held on the Shangsi Day
After the banquet, Fuxiang quickly came to Linglong's side and saluted: "Your servant greets Her Royal Highness, good night."
Linglong put the cloak on Zi'an and looked at Fuxiang: "Madame Fuxiang, no need to be polite."
Fu Xiang did not look around, but kept his head down: "His Majesty asked you to go to the imperial study."
Linglong put on a face scarf for Zi'an: "Okay, have someone take Zhengjun to rest."
Fu Xiang bowed slightly: "Yes."
Linglong put the Soul-Calming Pearl on Zi'an's slender wrist and whispered, "Be good and wait for me to come back."
Zi'an's eyebrows curved like a half moon and nodded: "Okay, my wife."
Fuxiang asked his apprentice to serve Princess Zhengjun personally.
"Xiaoqing, bring a few more people to protect His Highness Zhengjun."
Cui Qing nodded, "Yes, godmother."
...?
When Linglong arrived at the imperial study, she saw several elders from the two dynasties already standing inside. She walked steadily towards the hall without stopping.
Before he could salute, Ji Lanhuang raised his hand to stop him.
"Sit first."
Looking at the ministers who were threatening his life, Rumu's face was still gentle and elegant, but there was real murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at them.
"I am very pleased that you are sharing the country's worries. I am very worried about your advanced age, so I have allowed you to return home to enjoy the company of your grandchildren."
The voice is like a spring breeze, and the words spoken can make people feel cold to the bones.
"Someone, take him down."
Seeing that things did not develop as they expected, several ministers panicked and wanted to beg for mercy, but the Imperial Guards were not pushovers. They stepped forward to cover their mouths and took them away.
Linglong ignored the farce, picked up the tea brewed by Fuxiang, opened the tea lid to remove the tea foam, and took a sip.
"There is no need for the Queen Mother to take these bad accusations on herself."
Ji Lanhuang chuckled: "Not really, I just did what I always wanted to do."
Linglong paused, then raised her eyes with some surprise, but there was a chill in her eyes.
Ji Lanhuang sensed the coldness in Linglong's body and continued without stopping: "Before, I was constrained and had to be a wise king. Now that I know the truth, I don't have to suppress it anymore."
Linglong lowered her eyes and took another sip of tea. "When will you take action?"
Hearing his daughter's address, Ji Lanhuang's expression became more gentle and genuine. It was good to get a little recognition from his daughter before leaving.
"Three days from now, the coronation ceremony will be held on Shangsi Day. During this time, there will be a substitute of mine in the palace to assist you in handling the follow-up matters. You are the emperor of the continent, so you don't have to worry about anything, not even me."
She was already disappointed with the palace. If it weren't for Yu'er's news and her daughter, she would not have re-investigated what happened.
It turns out that she was just a tool from beginning to end.
Linglong looked at Ji Lanhuang quietly for a while, her calm eyes swept across her face, and she stood up, "Yes, I will obey your order."
Ji Lanhuang smiled when she heard Linglong's name, her eyes were a little moist, and she said, trying hard to hold back the bitterness in her throat: "Go down."
Linglong bowed.
…………※
After leaving the imperial study, Linglong saw a figure in white standing at the bottom of the stairs, slowly walking down.
Kong Qi just raised his hand but Linglong waved her hand to stop him.
When they walked a distance away, Linglong asked calmly, "Did she ask you to deduce it? What did you figure out?"
"Your Majesty, Empress Nanling came to the embassy last night to ask for divination."
Kong Qi knew who the emperor was talking about, walked behind her right, and continued: "Before the emperor agreed to become the Queen of Nanling, half a month later, the Ziwei in Nanling was in turmoil, the sun and the moon were eclipsed, the five stars appeared, Nanling was in chaos, disasters were rampant, and it was a great disaster."
The twelve royal guards hiding in the dark became unstable when they heard this, revealing their position.
Linglong's expression did not change, as if she didn't notice anything, and she slowly turned the jade ring on her fingertips.
So that's why. No wonder she saw Ji Lanhuang's Emperor Star luck dissipating just now.
It seems that her biological mother will not return to Nanling this time. No, to be more precise, she will not enter the palace again.
Kong Qi glanced at the big tree not far away, then looked away and lowered his head.
"Can the Nanling priest take his place?"
Kong Qi: "Your Majesty, we will arrive tomorrow."
Linglong: "Three days later, you will set off on the journey back to Dongyun in a spirit carriage."
Three days is enough, it's time for 'Emperor Dongyun' to go back.
Kong Qi did not agree immediately, but asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, shall I ask Xuan Si and Du Yue to stay and serve you?"
Linglong paused, tilted her head to glance at him subtly, and asked, "Why?"
Kong Qi knew that she didn't need anyone to serve her, so if they kept them by her side, it was certain that there was something wrong with these two people.
Noticing Linglong's gaze, Kong Qi coughed uncomfortably and spoke in a more respectful tone: "Your Majesty, one of the two is a spy from Zhongzhou."
Linglong understood and sneered: "How dare you."
Deliberately leaving people beside her to let the person behind the scenes show up.
Kong Qi stood still and raised his hand to salute: "I admit my guilt."
Linglong's feet suddenly itched, and she glanced at him and said, "Let them come to see me, and get out in three days."
Kong Qiqinggui's elegant face showed a hint of smile, and he bowed again: "Yes."
On the other side, Zi'an did not return to the palace to rest, but went along the palace road towards the imperial garden.
Because they were walking in the wrong direction, they passed by a deserted and quiet palace and heard noises of quarrels and punches and kicks hitting flesh from inside.
The man shouted in a sharp voice: "Little bastard, you are so bold to steal things. Beat her to death."
Another man's worried voice came: "Brother Manager, no matter what, she is of royal blood. If this gets to His Majesty..."
"Get lost! How can a bastard who is not recognized by His Majesty be a member of the royal family?"
Upon hearing this, Zi'an, who was acting nonchalantly, paused and looked up at the plaque with some paint peeling off, "Emerald Jade Palace".
While stroking Youxue, he tilted his head to look at Cuiqing who had already started to wipe her sweat, and asked casually: "Aunt Qing, who owns this palace?"
Cui Qing bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the person inside is the posthumous daughter of the eldest princess of the previous dynasty."
Zi'an paused, and the eldest princess Ji Jun of the previous dynasty was known for her frailty but wisdom and ingenuity.
In the battle for the throne, apart from the empress and the fourth princess Ji Dan who was far away in her fiefdom, she was the only princess of the previous dynasty who did not participate in the war and survived safely in Lingdu.
However, after the Third Princess Lan, now the Empress, took the throne, she fell seriously ill and died.
This news caused officials and the people to secretly spread all kinds of bad suspicions, causing turmoil in the court for a while.
Zi'an turned around and walked towards the palace. He didn't expect that this person still had a bloodline left and was imprisoned in the palace.
Step into the palace and look towards the source of the sound.
Next to the rockery, a group of servants and maids dressed in Zitang palace costumes surrounded a woman in gray and beat her up with fists and kicks. She was protecting a small person under her.
Cuiqing who was behind also saw it and her face turned ugly.
This group of people are so ignorant of their own lives. After all, they are members of the royal family. How dare they commit such a crime?
Zi'an saw the bright red staining the white snow on the ground. His eyebrows were relaxed, his fair chin was slightly raised, and his rosy lips slightly opened: "Aunt Qing, according to the laws of our dynasty, what is the crime of a servant who commits treason?"
