As soon as Wen Chengyuan finished speaking, two guards came to the carriage, grabbed Gong Yang Jieying and tied her up.

"How can this be! Wen Chengyuan, you old woman! How dare you treat me like this! Believe it or not, when I return to the palace, I will ask my mother to put you in jail and confiscate the entire Wen family!" Gong Yang Jieying, whose hands and feet were tied, said angrily.

However, Wen Chengyuan didn't care at all. She suddenly knelt down towards Gongyang Jiezhen in the carriage, kowtowed, and shouted, "Your Highness, Wen Chengyuan pays homage to Her Royal Highness! May Her Royal Highness live a thousand years!"

Under the leadership of Wen Chengyuan, the envoys and guards of Lengyue Kingdom also followed suit and kowtowed to Gongyang Jiezhen.

"You, you, you...are you crazy? I am the princess!" Gongyang Jieying shouted with gritted teeth.

Gongyang Jiezhen, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at Wen Chengyuan with a similarly shocked expression, asking, "Yes, Prime Minister Wen, what do you mean by this?"

"Oh, that's right, Your Highness..." Wen Chengyuan bowed to Gongyang Jiezhen and explained, "The Emperor has recently decreed the removal of Gongyang Jieying from her position as Crown Princess and ordered her demoted to a commoner. Gongyang Jieying will then be imprisoned for life in the Heavenly Prison. This will provide an explanation to the people and offer comfort to the 420,000 souls who perished in Lengyue Nation."

Wen Chengyuan paused slightly before continuing, "Besides this, the Emperor has also issued an edict appointing the Third Princess, Your Highness Prince Luo, as the new Crown Princess. Currently, the Emperor has been so enraged by the Empress that he has suffered a stroke, and the Empress is also unconscious. The court and the harem are in turmoil, and they are waiting for Your Highness Crown Princess to return and take charge!"

Gongyang Jiezhen's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. Although she didn't know what exactly had happened, since the position of Crown Princess had fallen from the sky for her, she would be a fool to refuse it.

"I see." Gongyang Jiezhen nodded slightly. "Prime Minister Wen and the others have traveled thousands of miles for me, and have made tremendous contributions. It is a blessing for the court and the people of Lengyue Kingdom to have such loyal officials like you!"

Gongyang Jiezhen directly accepted the surrender of Wen Chengyuan and others. After all, she had just come to power and it was time to employ people, not to act based on personal preference.

"No! This is impossible! The Queen Mother would never treat me like this!" Gongyang Jieying roared hysterically, "It's you, it must be you, right? Wen Chengyuan, you old woman, it must be you who colluded with Gongyang Jiezhen and tried to usurp the throne, you..."

However, just as Gongyang Jieying was about to continue cursing Wen Chengyuan, a guard blocked her mouth with a rag.

Gongyang Jiezhen only raised an eyebrow at this, unconcerned. She and Gongyang Jieying had always been at odds, and seeing this arrogant woman suffer a setback was a source of joy to her.
