Chapter 95 Must Accept Fate
The queen was deposed, some were happy and some were angry.
When the ministers in the court heard the news that the queen was deposed, some of them had already hurried into the palace to meet the emperor. When the prince of the Eastern Palace, Mu Xiuhan, heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, and his face changed on the spot.
"The queen mother was deposed?" Mu Xiuhan stood up suddenly, his face turned pale, "Why?"
The eunuchs of the Eastern Palace did not know the inside story, and only heard roughly: "I heard that it was because the legitimate princess... offended Princess Nanyang..."
It's Princess Nanyang again!
Mu Xiuhan smashed the teacup in his hand fiercely, and his face immediately became gloomy: "Yan Li, this disaster star is simply haunting!"
Since he broke off the engagement with her, he has never been happy.
Damn thing.
She is his nemesis!
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Mu Xiuhan did not speak, and his heart was filled with anger and anxiety.
After the anger, he felt a little scared, and even a little regretful. If he had known that Yan Li had such a heavy weight in his father's heart, perhaps he should not have broken off the engagement so impulsively.
Yan Li is the cousin of the Jiang family. Even if he doesn't cancel the engagement, it's not a loss to marry her. After all, the Jiang family will still be his backer, and the reputation of Jiang Taifu will not be damaged because of Yan Li.
With the support of the military force of his uncle, the prince, and the reputation of the Taifu in the court, as long as he behaves well and doesn't make big mistakes, his father will have no reason to abolish the queen or the crown prince. When he ascends the throne in the future, he can find a reason to make Yan Li one of the four concubines, and then appoint another queen candidate, and let her fend for herself in the palace. Isn't it better? ŴŴŴ.
No matter what, it's better than the dilemma now.
Mu Xiuhan frowned, his heart was in a panic, and he was eager to think about how to make up for the previous mistake-it was definitely impossible to cancel Jiang Jingyue's marriage. His father would not allow him to change his mind overnight, not to mention that Yan Li had already been betrothed to the ninth uncle.
So how to reverse the current situation?
"Come here!" Mu Xiuhan ordered coldly, "Pick a decent gift from the warehouse, I'll go to the Jiang family."
A guard stepped over the threshold upon hearing the order and bowed to report: "Your Highness, Chief Xiao just conveyed the emperor's oral order, the palace gates are under martial law, and no one is allowed to leave the palace without permission."
Mu Xiuhan's face changed, and he fell down on the chair with a bang, and the whole person felt like falling into an ice cellar.
Yan Li couldn't feel the anxiety of the East Palace, and she was not interested in caring.
After leaving the palace and returning to the Jiang family, Luo, who was waiting in the Liuli Courtyard, saw her come back, and a bit of smugness appeared on her face: "Did the Queen ask for punishment? Yan Li, even if you are favored by the emperor, you should not be arrogant and look down on the legitimate princess! Do you know that the legitimate princess is the emperor's own blood, and you were born only because your mother did something that humiliated the family tradition-"
"The queen has been deposed."
Luo's voice was stuck, and she looked at Yan Li blankly: "You, what did you say?"
"I said the queen was deposed. Just before I left the palace, the emperor just issued an imperial decree." Yan Li stared at her quietly for a moment, and smiled calmly, "Aunt, there is no need to preach to me. Facts have proved that even the queen and the legitimate princess who are high above me, I still don't have to take them seriously."
After saying this, she walked away from Luo's side without paying attention to Luo's pale face.
Luo stood stiffly like a wooden sculpture, with waves of uneasiness in her eyes.
The queen was deposed?
This... How is this possible? This news must not be true, Yan Li is lying!
However, Luo was still uneasy. After a while, she hurriedly called her personal nanny and asked her to inquire about the news: "Go and ask quickly, I want to know whether the news that the emperor abolished the queen is true or false."
She guessed that what Yan Li said was true. No one dared to joke about such things, not to mention that Yan Li came back so quickly... This is enough to prove that she was not punished in the palace.
Slapping the princess, such a rebellious act, was not punished. Luo had to believe that Yan Li was indeed very skilled, so she felt more and more that something was wrong this time, and hurriedly turned around to tell her husband Jiang Yunming about it.
Jiang Yunming's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he also looked like the sky was falling: "The queen was deposed?"
"That's what Yan Li said." Luo's face was pale, and she twisted her handkerchief anxiously, "Master, I...what should we do? Will the queen's dethronement affect the prince's position as the crown prince? What if the prince is also deposed, what should we do with Jingyue?"
"I'll go see my father." Jiang Yunming couldn't wait a moment, and hurried out of the study to find his father.
Taifu Jiang has been frustrated in his work these days, not only losing the emperor's heart, but also losing face in front of the Ninth Prince... and all this is due to the unfilial grandsons of the Jiang family.
Taifu Jiang deeply reflected on himself, and was also disappointed with the upbringing of his three grandsons. He stayed at home for more than ten days and didn't want to ask about trivial matters outside.
Especially things related to Yan Li.
However, just because he didn't want to ask, it didn't mean that things wouldn't happen.
When he finished listening to what Jiang Yunming said, his expression froze a little bit: "The queen was deposed?"
"Yes, I just got the news." Jiang Yunming frowned, "Father, what should we do? Should the prince and Jingyue's marriage be postponed? What if..."
"Why postpone it?" Master Jiang scolded, "This marriage was granted by the emperor, and it was what you wanted. Now that you see the queen has lost power, you want to postpone it? What do you think of the royal family? How do you know that the queen will not be reinstated in the future?"
Jiang Yunming was scolded so much that he dared not refute, but he still had a hidden worry in his heart: "What if the queen and her son really lose power?"
Teacher Jiang raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, sat for a long time, and then spoke heavily: "The emperor's mind is unpredictable, and party disputes are inherently risky. If you want to be rich and powerful, you must be prepared for failure. No one can guarantee that the prince will definitely ascend to the throne in the future, and no one can guarantee that the Jiang family will be prosperous for a hundred years."
Jiang Yunming frowned and said nothing.
That's what he said, but if they saw the queen and her son lose power, would they really do nothing?
"After Yan Li was named Princess Nanyang, I remember reminding you more than once to be polite to her. If you can't be friendly, stay away from her, and don't go up to her to find fault. Did you do it?"Teacher Jiang looked at him coldly, with disappointment in his eyes, "The Jiang family has no descendants who are capable, and it's only a matter of time before they fall!"
Jiang Yunming's face was pale, and he was also afraid.
At this moment, compared with his hatred for Yan Li, perhaps the threat brought by the rise and fall of the family finally made him feel a little regretful.
He had never expected that Yan Li would lead to such a result, and even the queen and the legitimate princess could not take advantage of her at all - if they had known all this earlier, even if Jingyue did not become the crown princess, they would never let the crown prince break off the engagement.
The best policy is to worship Yan Li.
