Chapter 1171
The August sunshine shone on Emperor Mingde's bright yellow dragon robe, adding a touch of sacred and inviolable temperament.
He stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was in another world.
"Long live the emperor!" This time the ministers' shouts were particularly powerful and exciting.
Some ministers even burst into tears, and those who were more unrestrained simply cried loudly, "Long live the emperor... Long, long live the emperor... Respectfully welcome the emperor... Wuuuuuuu..."
When the ministers heard the Empress Dowager say, "The emperor has passed away and the whole country is in mourning," they did not cry; but when Emperor Mingde stepped into the Golden Throne Hall with steady and powerful steps, the ministers cried.
In fact, not only the ministers cried, but even Prince Wazhen of the Vina tribe was so excited that his eyes were red. He thought that it would be great if his father, the leader, could be as powerful as Emperor Mingde.
The envoys watched Emperor Mingde appear with different thoughts, and they felt mixed emotions. This mission to the North Wing was truly an earth-shattering drama.
Tan Lu was even more shocked. It turned out that Emperor Mingde was not dead, but the second prince of their Wan State was dead. This ending, to be honest, was not unacceptable.
Anyway, it would be better for the crown prince if the second prince died than if he lived. The remaining princes were all mediocre and not to be feared. Now the old emperor should calm down and not want to depose the crown prince at every turn.
Tanlu was thinking happily, but his face was solemn. Who is not an old fox who has practiced for many years?
The appearance of Emperor Mingde in the hall completely shattered the rumor that Princess Haiyan had poisoned her.
Looking at Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan kneeling among the ministers, Emperor Mingde was filled with mixed emotions and said loudly, "From now on, Princess Haiyan and her husband will not need to kneel when they meet the emperor or any other members of the royal family."
If it were in the past, there would definitely be old officials who would jump out and say "the ritual system cannot be abolished", but today no one refuted it.
Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan thanked the emperor for his grace and stood quietly aside.
After Emperor Mingde shouted "Stand Up" to all his ministers, he slowly raised his sharp eyes and met the gaze of the Empress Dowager who was petrified with shock.
After a moment, Emperor Mingde sneered, with a hint of sarcasm and chill, "Isn't the Queen Mother disappointed that I'm not dead?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's body trembled slightly, and her eyes, which were flashing with endless madness and calculation, were intertwined with unwillingness and a final struggle.
She slowly lowered her eyes, her fingers tightly grasping her robe, and answered in a voice that was almost a whisper, "Your Majesty, you are too serious. I... It's just too unexpected. After all, there are many rumors in this world, and people's hearts are hard to predict. I am just a woman, so it is inevitable that I will be shaken."
Emperor Mingde slowly sat on the dragon throne, the golden threads on his dragon robe gleaming with a cold light in the few rays of mottled sunlight.
At this point, does the Queen Mother think there is still room for easing the situation?
An old minister knelt and wailed, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Look at what this witch has done! How outrageous! How chilling! She colluded with the Wan Kingdom and humiliated the country!"
Another courtier also knelt down and accused, "The Queen Mother is selling out her country for personal gain!"
"The Queen Mother casually framed court officials, the princess and her husband!"
"The Queen Mother of one country smoked banned drugs and even joined hands with Wan to grow and produce longevity cream! If we don't punish her, where will our country's prestige be? How can the people be convinced!"
