Today, we specially confer the late emperor the posthumous title of Dingji Jingsheng Junwu Ruizhi Wenmo Gonggao Zhiming Jingxiao Emperor.

To honor his virtue and make it immortal.

So decreed! "

After the coronation ceremony, the Palace of Heavenly Purity also took on a brand new look, and all of the emperor's belongings were replaced with new ones.

From today on, Jun Zechen becomes the new master of the Qianqing Palace.

After the coronation ceremony, Jun Zechen strode back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

He and the Queen Mother sat together on the couch.

"How does the emperor plan to confer titles on the concubines in the Eastern Palace and the Crown Princess?" The empress dowager looked at Jun Zechen sharply and asked slowly.

Jun Zechen's expression suddenly became serious. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean, mother? The Crown Princess is naturally my queen."

When he said this, there was determination in his eyes.

Originally, Jun Zechen only wanted to personally confer titles on the Crown Princess and the Concubine, and as for the other concubines in the Eastern Palace, he would leave it to his mother, the Queen Mother, to confer titles on them.

But at this moment, it seems that the Queen Mother does not want the Crown Princess to become the Queen?

The Queen Mother's face now revealed her deep disgust for the Crown Princess without any concealment, and her tone was cold.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess behaved like this in front of the late Emperor's spirit. I wanted to deprive her of her position as Crown Princess at that time."

"It was only to preserve the royal family's reputation that I kept it a secret. She was truly unworthy of being the queen who rules the country."

Jun Zechen's expression became more serious when he heard this, and he defended Ling Yue with a firm look in his eyes.

"Mother, I will investigate the incident in front of the mourning hall. The Crown Princess would not behave disrespectfully without reason."

"I know you have been busy these days. I have already found out everything about the Crown Princess." The Queen Mother's voice was still cold.

"I can't possibly have wronged your Crown Princess."

The Queen Mother emphasized, and then she continued.

"The Crown Princess said that day that the beads fell off her hand because of a rash on them. However, I showed the fallen beads to the imperial physician for examination that day and there was nothing wrong with them."

"The Crown Princess herself couldn't explain where the rash on her hands came from."

There was a hint of aggression in the Queen Mother's words.

"Then I should investigate it more clearly..." Jun Zechen replied with a frown.

"The Emperor can investigate, but no matter what the reason is, it is an indisputable fact that the Crown Princess was disrespectful in front of the late Emperor's spirit and offended the late Emperor's heroic spirit."

The Queen Mother's eyes grew more severe.

For the Queen Mother, even if the Crown Princess’ hand was disabled, she should not drop the Buddhist beads on the ground.

The Queen Mother then continued, "Because of her mistake, Tang Fengyi had a miscarriage. The doctor Hu who was treating Tang Fengyi had reported to me that if she had continued to drink the medicine he prescribed, your second prince would not be unable to be born!"

"And the most important point is that before the late emperor's funeral, when the palace servants were burning the Buddhist scriptures, they actually found bloodstains on a Buddhist scripture. I compared the handwriting and confirmed that it was copied by the Crown Princess."

Although copying Buddhist scriptures with blood would show more piety and respect.

But the Crown Princess only used ordinary ink to copy, but it was stained with blood. The meaning of this is very different, and it may even have the opposite effect.

If the Crown Princess was thoughtful, she would just copy a new one after discovering the bloodstain.

But the Crown Princess actually placed the blood-stained Buddhist scriptures in front of the late emperor's spirit!

Jun Zechen listened quietly to his mother accusing Ling Yue of one thing after another, but he was unable to refute it.

Even though he knew in his heart that Ling Yue might be innocent or might have been framed.

But at this time he really had no evidence to defend Ling Yue.

"Mother, what if the Crown Princess was framed?"

"Whether she was framed or not, with so many things going on, she is not fit to be the queen. Do you understand, Emperor?"

The Queen Mother had a serious expression on her face and stared at Jun Zechen intently.

Jun Zechen slowly lowered his head.

He knew that what his mother said was indeed reasonable.

only……

Jun Zechen raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother with a firm gaze.

"Mother, I have always believed in the Crown Princess. She is the legitimate wife I personally asked for, and I have also made a promise to her. If she does not become the Queen, I will feel guilty."

A trace of pain flashed across Jun Zechen's face.

Although his heart is as hard as iron, that is only towards those who have never entered his heart. How can he not care about those who have already entered his heart?

The Queen Mother sighed slightly, and then her voice was filled with unquestionable firmness.

"You are the emperor. You can let anyone down, but no one can let you down."

She paused and continued, "If the Crown Princess becomes the Queen, how will the court officials view you as the Emperor?"

"Her mistakes are not minor, not just one or two. Even if you insist on making her the queen, I will never agree, and I will never give her the title of queen in my hand."

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor's embarrassed expression; she also knew her son's character.

After a slap you always have to give a piece of candy.

She went on to say: "This time, the Crown Princess was demoted to a concubine, which is indeed too severe a punishment. I can allow her to be a noble concubine, and I can also give her some of the palace power."

"If she performs well and then adopts a prince, it is not impossible for her to become the queen."

Jun Zechen's eyes flickered.

It seems that this is the best outcome.

It's just that he originally wanted to give Yaoyao the position of imperial concubine, but now Ling Yue has been canonized as an imperial concubine, and she was originally his legal wife, so naturally she couldn't be inferior to others.
