Without giving Qin Yishu any time to rest, Qin Peiyuan ordered people to notify all civil and military officials to wait outside the Chongyang Palace.

In order to allow Qin Yishu to have enough energy to meet all the court officials later, Qin Peiyuan fed Qin Yishu a pill.

This pill can reduce the effects of the poison in his body, making him look like an ordinary person, but the duration of support is limited, only about an hour.

But for Qin Peiyuan, this time is enough.

Qin Peiyuan himself went to the side hall of Chongyang Palace and changed into a vermilion robe embroidered with an exquisite five-clawed dragon pattern.

The gown was very fitting, and it seemed as if it had been tailored long ago.

This is enough to prove that Qin Peiyuan had been planning this day for a long time...

Qin Yishu looked at his son coldly as he tried to sit on the dragon throne in Chongyang Palace. As he felt the comfort of the dragon throne, his hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves.

"It will take some time for all the officials to gather, and I happen to be free now. Why not let me meet Concubine Shu and the princess?" Qin Yishu suggested.

Qin Peiyuan was admiring the exquisite patterns carved on the dragon throne, looking at the piles of official documents on the desk, and feeling what it was like to be an emperor. At this moment, his thoughts were interrupted by Qin Yishu, and he was a little displeased.

Especially at this time, his father was only thinking about Concubine Shu and her daughter.

"The concubines and princesses in the harem are all in my mother's palace right now. If my father suddenly summons them, I'm afraid they will be very frightened. If they get scared and something happens to them, it will be even worse."

Qin Peiyuan looked unhappy. "Father, please rest quietly for a while and wait for the ministers to kowtow to you."

Qin Yishu said nothing more after hearing this and just watched Qin Peiyuan busy in Chongyang Palace.

The ministers who had received the oral order were now rushing to the palace.

Although most of the snow on the streets had been cleared by this time, the ground was still icy and travel was still very difficult. The carriages in particular were unstable and either slipped or the horses refused to move forward, causing quite a bit of chaos.

So much so that many ministers had to abandon their carriages and walk to the palace.

But when he walked fast, he was afraid that the road would be slippery, so he had to be very careful. The way he walked in small steps while holding his long robe made passers-by laugh.

"What are these ministers doing in such a hurry?"

A passerby asked curiously.

"I heard that the emperor urgently summoned me. I want to go to the palace to see him!"

"But today is not the late emperor's birthday. Shouldn't the emperor be in Yunling Temple? Why did he suddenly summon the ministers to the palace?"

"I heard that the royal carriage entered the city from outside the city in the afternoon. I guess the emperor has returned to the palace."

"That's still not right. To celebrate the late emperor's birthday, you should at least stay in Yunling Temple for several days. Why did you come back today?"

"I don't know. I heard that the number of carriages and horses returning this afternoon was not as many as the number a few days ago. I think many people are still in Yunling Temple."

"I hope something has happened..."

"Don't do that. If something happens to the royal family, the common people will be implicated."

"It's hard to say, I can only say that God blesses me."

When hearing the words "God bless us", many people sighed in their hearts for a while, and then followed others and silently said "God bless us."

I don't know if it was to reflect the anxiety and worry in everyone's hearts at the moment, or if there were too many people complaining about God, but after about a meal's time, before the sun had set, the sky became overcast.

The cloudy sky was accompanied by a howling northwest wind.

They wandered freely through the streets, picking up the floating snow on the roofs and roads, and actually made the entire sky and earth white, as if it was snowing.

The court officials who rushed to the palace were also blinded by the wind.

While muttering in my heart about the terrible weather, I prayed that it was not anything unbearable and quickened my pace.

Half an hour later, the door of Chongyang Palace opened, and court officials filed in and stood in the order they usually sat in during the morning court session.

Because some old ministers and ministers close to the emperor went to Yunling Temple, one-quarter of the seats in Chongyang Hall were empty at this time.

Seeing this, the court officials became more and more uneasy.

But before they could think too much, Qin Yishu and Qin Peiyuan came out from the inner hall.

Qin Yishu was helped to sit on the dragon throne, while Qin Peiyuan was pushed into the hall in a wheelchair and stopped at the front and center of the hall.

That position originally belonged to Qin Peiyou.

At this time, Qin Peiyuan was wearing a vermilion five-clawed dragon robe.

The Crown Prince Qin Peiyou, the Duke of Anguo, the Duke of Dingguo, the King of Yue, the King of Jia, He Yanxiu, and some important ministers were all absent...

Everyone was shocked and had some speculations in their minds, but at this moment they did not dare to act rashly. They could only lower their heads and kneel to salute.

"Long live the emperor."

"My dear ministers, please stand up." Qin Yishu's voice was a little hoarse and he seemed to be lacking in strength.

When Qin Yishu realized that he was being stared at by Qin Peiyuan, he straightened his body and said, "Today is the birthday of the late emperor, but something happened in Yunling Temple, so I had to rush back to the palace with His Highness..."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the court officials in the hall were in an uproar.

"I wonder what happened to His Majesty in Yunling Temple?" a minister asked.

Then someone followed up and said, "Your Majesty looks tired, but is there anything wrong? Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

"The princes and lords are not here at the moment. Your Majesty, can you tell us what happened..."

The ministers in the hall were discussing and the noise was so deafening that Qin Peiyuan had a headache. He felt that these court officials were really gossipy.

Qin Peiyuan winked at the eunuch beside Qin Yishu.

The chief eunuch understood and immediately shouted loudly, "Silence!"

The Chongyang Palace immediately became quiet.

Qin Yishu coughed twice and continued, "I really don't want to mention the details of this, but after experiencing this, I feel that my body can no longer support it, so I specially ordered people to draft two imperial edicts, which are now read out, and my dear ministers need to listen carefully."

"Yes." All the court officials in the hall nodded in agreement.

The chief eunuch took out the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago, cleared his throat, and read it aloud.

In the same order as Qin Yishu had seen the two imperial edicts, the eunuch first read out the imperial edict abolishing Qin Peiyou's title as crown prince and convicting all the people involved, and then read out the imperial edict conferring Qin Peiyuan as crown prince.

After hearing the two imperial edicts, the court officials all had different expressions, and some even exchanged glances with each other in private.

It is truly astonishing that the Third Prince was deposed from the crown prince position for plotting to usurp the throne.

But he is already the crown prince, and he will inherit the throne after the emperor passes away. It is wrong to try to usurp the throne at this time. The Third Prince is not a fool, and logically he should not do this...

The imperial robes of the Song Dynasty were red, those of the Ming Dynasty were earthy yellow and red, and those of the Qing Dynasty were bright yellow. I prefer the Song Dynasty, so I chose red. As for the five-clawed dragon pattern, in the Qing Dynasty, five claws were dragons, and four claws were mang. Except for the emperor, other princes and crown princes could only wear four-clawed dragons, but before the Ming Dynasty, all princes and princes had five-clawed dragons.
