Chapter 138 Qin Yan's disfigurement brings her own consequences.
The following day, in the main hall of the imperial palace.
"I have been ill for a long time, and there are many matters to attend to in the court. In order to ensure the stability and peace of the Longyan Kingdom, I hereby grant the Regent the right to continue to assist in governing the country."
The Emperor smiled and said to Jun Ce, "Brother, I will set you free after the handover of government affairs is complete, shall I?"
Jun Ce nodded: "I leave it to Your Majesty to decide."
"Your Majesty is wise," the courtier said.
During the Regent's reign, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the country, and everyone witnessed his actions.
If he harbored rebellious intentions, he would have rebelled long ago.
Why should we go to great lengths to save the emperor?
Therefore, no one objected.
Qin Yan, holding the treasure box, walked into the court and was slightly taken aback when she saw Jun Ce sitting in the chair to the right of the emperor.
When did Brother Ce return?
So, that vixen is also in the capital now?
Her mind raced, and a malicious smile crept onto her lips.
How could she not let that vixen witness her and Ce-gege's wonderful day?
The Emperor looked at Qin Yan: "What brings you here, Princess Cheng'an?"
Qin Yan respectfully replied, "According to the late emperor's edict, my Qin family has been loyal and righteous for generations. Whatever requests we have, as long as they do not harm the foundation of the country, we will grant them."
"May I ask Your Majesty, does what the late Emperor said still stand?"
The Emperor nodded. "Of course."
"In that case, Your Majesty, please summon Princess Yongning to the palace."
Qin Yan looked up at Jun Ce and saw that when he heard Zhai Rongyu's name, a faint smile appeared on his cold face. She clenched the treasure box in her hand, her eyes filled with jealousy.
"Yongning?" the Emperor asked, puzzled.
Qin Yan gritted her teeth and said, "I also hope that she will be present to witness what I request today."
"allow."
When Zhai Rongyu entered the hall, she noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
What kind of looks are those?
Are you watching the show?
She walked up to the main hall and saw Qin Yan holding a treasure box, giving her a provocative smile. Only then did she realize what was going on.
So, it was because of this imperial edict that I was summoned here.
She looked at Jun Ce at the head of the table and winked at him gently.
Jun Ce's gaze lingered on her, a hint of tenderness appearing in his usually cold eyes.
Qin Yan saw this and was consumed by jealousy.
She straightened her chest and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I wish to ask for a marriage proposal. The imperial edict is here; please take a look!"
She opened the treasure box and presented the imperial edict inside with both hands.
The eunuch took it and presented it to the emperor.
The court officials were in uproar.
It's unclear whose marriage Qin Yan is seeking.
Qin Yan looked at Jun Ce, who was seated on the throne.
He was dressed in black, sitting upright, his sharply defined face indifferent, and his cold, star-like eyes had a magical power to make people submit when they glanced at him.
Such an unattainable and proud person will soon be hers.
Thinking of this, Qin Yan blushed.
She looked at Zhai Rongyu with a hint of smugness.
The Emperor opened the imperial edict, glanced at it, and then looked at Jun Ce with some surprise, "Brother, this..."
Jun Ce looked at Zhai Rongyu, and seeing her nod slightly, he then lightly parted his thin lips and said, "Since there is a will, Your Majesty may proclaim it."
Qin Yan's heart immediately began to pound.
Brother Ce is willing!
She knew that Brother Ce was the most filial!
No... it's that Brother Ce has her in his heart!
Qin Yan was overjoyed. Her body trembled slightly with excitement, and she twisted her handkerchief tightly with both hands to keep herself from laughing out loud.
The emperor handed the imperial edict to the eunuch, saying, "Proclaim the decree."
The eunuch responded, his loud voice echoing throughout the hall.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Regent Prince Jun Ce shall select an auspicious day to marry Princess Yongning, so that they may be united in marriage for a hundred years..."
Yongning?!
How could it be Yongning?!
Qin Yan's mind went blank, and she staggered back a few steps.
"No! No!" she screamed, "The contents of the will are wrong!"
"Your Majesty is wise! The will clearly states that it refers to the Princess of Cheng'an County, how could it possibly refer to the Princess of Yongning County!"
She stumbled to the eunuch, snatched the imperial edict, and examined it closely. The words "Yongning" were clearly written on it.
Her limbs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
The courtiers frowned and whispered among themselves.
"How can this Princess Cheng'an be so ill-mannered?"
"The eunuchs are announcing the imperial decree in the main hall. How can you just snatch it away like this..."
"His Majesty is still here, yet she sits on the ground like this—what kind of behavior is this!"
"The Qin family is a family of military generals, and now they only have this one daughter left. She must be uneducated."
"How dare she act so presumptuously in the main hall!"
……
The murmurs of the crowd reached my ears.
Qin Yan's gaze was unfocused, but gradually solidified.
She suddenly turned to look at Zhai Rongyu, her eyes filled with boundless hatred.
"It's you...it must be you, you vixen!"
"You bitch!"
"I kill you!"
She suddenly stood up, took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, uncorked it, and splashed it at Zhai Rongyu!
If you come into contact with this substance, it can cause disfigurement at best, and death at worst.
She has nothing left, so this vixen won't have an easy time either!
The court officials were all startled.
"Rong'er!" Jun Ce suddenly sat up from his seat and reached out to chop at the porcelain bottle.
Lightning struck him.
The court officials were terrified.
How could the Regent use lightning magic?!
Qin Yan was in unbearable pain, and her hand trembled, causing the liquid in the porcelain bottle to spill onto herself.
"what!!!!!"
She screamed, fell to the ground, and twisted her body to cover her face.
An intense burning sensation spread across my face.
Qin Yan's eyes were bloodshot, she was in unbearable pain, and she screamed in agony.
He finally fainted from the unbearable pain.
The incident happened so suddenly that the emperor and his courtiers were still in shock and had not yet come to their senses.
When the eunuch stepped forward, he saw that Qin Yan's face was completely covered in sores.
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Cheng'an's face... is probably ruined..."
The emperor patted his chest and sat back down in his chair.
"Quickly carry Princess Cheng'an away and ask the imperial physician to take a good look at her."
He had promised Qin's father that he would take good care of his daughter.
Although she was at fault in today's events, she has reaped what she sowed.
Jun Ce hurriedly walked to Zhai Rongyu's side and asked with concern, "Rong'er, are you injured?"
Zhai Rongyu shook her head.
Jun Ce looked at the Emperor, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Yongning has been frightened and should be comforted properly."
The emperor nodded.
"Yongning is my savior, so naturally he should not be treated with such injustice."
"I will grant you a pardon from death."
"From now on, even I cannot take your life at will."
Zhai Rongyu immediately accepted the imperial decree and expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
A shallow dimple appeared on her face.
[This reward is good; if something happens to Father and the others in the future, it can save their lives.]
"In addition," the Emperor turned to the eunuch and instructed, "send some more jewelry, ornaments, and silks to the Minister's residence."
“Then find a prime location in the most prosperous part of the capital and bestow it upon Yongning.”
Unable to deal with Qin Yan, he could only try to appease Zhai Rong.
The eunuch repeatedly agreed.
But the court officials were not so easily appeased.
"Your Majesty," Grand Tutor Qi stepped forward and said, "Princess Cheng'an is malicious and dared to attempt assassination in the main hall. Her crime is unforgivable!"
"Please make your decision, Your Majesty."
"Indeed! This woman is quite cunning; she must have planned this all along!" a courtier echoed. "Otherwise, why would His Majesty specifically summon Princess Yongning to the palace, and why would she carry such a terrifying object with her?"
"How could the Qin family, a family full of meritorious officials, produce such a vicious descendant!"
"This is truly a disgrace to our ancestors!"
