Two days later, the coronation ceremony was finally completed.
People from the six ministries secretly cursed the Seventh Prince for not covering up.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows clearly how the throne was obtained.
This man is really not low-key and insists on ascending the throne in two days.
Court officials rushed into the palace to attend the ceremony, and Song Jin entered the palace on behalf of Quling Hou.
Starting from the palace gate, the Imperial Guards strictly searched every courtier entering the palace to ensure that the ceremony went on safely and smoothly.
Song Jin walked behind the ministers with his head down.
From time to time, she could feel the strange looks from people around her.
"Why did the Lord of Junning County enter the palace?"
"I heard that it was His Majesty who issued the decree personally. Didn't the Princess of Junning County and His Majesty have a marriage contract? This time the coronation ceremony and the queen coronation ceremony were held at the same time..."
"Are you trying to humiliate the Lord of Junning County in person?!"
“…Maybe.”
Whether it is shameful or not, Song Jin does not know.
According to the information obtained from Zhao Wuan, today's ceremony may not be that simple.
How could Xu Zhaoran let him ascend the throne so easily?
At present, there is no news from Cui Huaiji, so Song Jin can only keep his troops in place.
"County Lord."
Zhao Wuan came quietly behind her and handed her a handkerchief in front of everyone.
"The county lord's face is dirty."
Song Jin nodded slightly and reached out to take the handkerchief.
Zhao Wuan followed suit and walked beside her.
The gaze of scrutiny is always vague.
Zhao Wuan looked straight ahead and whispered, "The Fifth Princess has sneaked into the palace and it looks like she wants to take action at the ceremony."
"She's alone?"
"I didn't find out who helped the murder."
After he finished speaking, Zhao Wuan nodded his chin indifferently and walked towards another colleague.
Start chatting with him.
The emperor's coronation ceremony went smoothly.
Xu Nanheng held Yang Chaoxue's hand and walked in front of the ministers.
The two of them joined hands and climbed to the highest point.
The Queen's coronation ceremony officially begins.
Yang Chaoxue finally put on the queen's dress she had always dreamed of.
Wearing a tiara and a bridal gown, her every frown and smile was enough to astonish the world.
She has a good complexion, and a little dressing up is enough to make her look more attractive.
Feeling the courtiers kneeling to him, Yang Chaoxue felt extremely satisfied.
Wherever I looked, I saw a familiar figure.
Song Jin, like other ministers, knelt down and bowed.
"My lady, the time has come."
The man in blue beside him gave a warning.
Yang Chaoxue nodded, smiled and took Xu Nanheng's arm.
Who is that?
Song Jin had already noticed the strange man beside Yang Chaoxue.
Although I have no impression of this person's appearance, his figure looks very much like someone familiar.
Song Jin couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
When their eyes met, the other person seemed to notice her scrutiny and suddenly forced a faint smile.
His eyes moved over her.
Enough playfulness and levity.
Song Jin suddenly had an epiphany.
Shen Changqi!
The most trusted aide to the prince!
She asked why Shen Changqi was missing and found out that he was lurking beside Yang Chaoxue. But, what was he doing beside Yang Chaoxue?
Could it be related to Su Liwang's party?
Song Jin didn't think that the emperor would easily send his people away.
When Shen Changqi saw that she recognized him, a smile flashed across his eyes.
Then he lowered his eyes and followed Yang Chaoxue's footsteps.
At the ceremony of crowning the empress, the empress had to offer incense and candles to the emperor to show that she was by his side.
A palace maid came forward with her head bowed and holding a candle.
At the heavily guarded ceremony, Xu Nanheng and Yang Chaoxue did not feel that anyone could threaten them.
So Yang Chaoxue was caught off guard and captured by Xu Zhaoran.
It happened in an instant.
Xu Zhaoran had some martial arts experience, so it was easy for him to dodge her moves.
The courtiers below looked on in horror, but no one stepped forward.
In their hearts, they were all dissatisfied with Emperor Xu Nanheng.
Xu Nanheng waved his hand, and the Forbidden Feather Guards on both sides, who were ready to go, rushed out instantly and surrounded the ceremony tightly.
It was as if everything was prepared.
Xu Zhaoran narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around quickly, but didn't see himself in the crowd.
No!
"Is the Fifth Princess looking for her own people?"
The dark voice exploded in my ears.
Xu Zhaoran's hair stood on end and he tensed up to seize his only chance.
She almost dragged Yang Chaoxue backwards.
"Stop! If you come over again, I will drag her to be buried with you!"
As a hostage, Yang Chaoxue looked normal, without even a hint of expectation as to what Xu Nanheng would do for her.
"Fifth Princess," she said indifferently, lowering her eyes and uttering a few words lightly, "You caught the wrong person."
The relationship between her and Xu Nanheng is no longer the same as before.
Although she didn't know where Xu Zhaoran heard it from, unfortunately, her plan was going to fail.
Xu Zhaoran's face suddenly darkened.
Wang Anlin lied to her!
It doesn't matter, as long as her people rescue the emperor...
"Fifth Sister, do you think you can hold me back here?"
Xu Zhaoran's eyelids twitched and he heard him say again.
"Your men were captured by my imperial guards the moment they entered the palace."
"You can't save the people in Chaowu Palace."
How is that possible!
Xu Zhaoran forced himself to calm down.
"This princess knew long ago that he could not be trusted. The other group of people must have already arrived at Chaowu Palace!"
Xu Nanheng remained silent. There were heavy troops guarding outside Chaowu Palace, so there was nothing to be afraid of with only the few men Xu Zhaoran had.
"Xu Zhaoran, if you admit your mistake now, I can still spare your life for the sake of my sister."
"Ha!" Xu Zhaoran spat fiercely, "If you really wanted to let me go, you wouldn't have posted my wanted warrant everywhere!"
A disgusting thing!
They should have all been tortured to death back then!
Xu Zhaoran realized that he might not be able to escape.
In that case, she should just use a back cushion!
"Yang Chaoxue, I know all about your dirty deeds with him. It's my fault for trusting the wrong person. Otherwise, I might not be the one who loses today!"
"I can't live, so you have to be buried with me!"
There was a sudden sharp pain in my neck.
Yang Chaoxue's gentle eyes turned cold.
"Rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly flew out from the air and knocked the dagger out of Xu Zhaoran's hand.
The remaining power of the hidden arrow was so great that her palms trembled.
Xu Zhaoran was unwilling to be defeated like this, so he kicked the man out, making him fall to the ground.
No one can expect to get anything good from her!
"Shoot!"
Xu Zhaoran roared.
The people who were ambushing on the roof appeared at the same time. Although their number was not as large as the Forbidden Guards, their combined arrows were enough to protect her.
A cold arrow shot down his head.
The court officials were naturally panicked.
They don't dare to gamble with their lives.
Xu Nanheng has dared to rebel, so will you still take care of his life?
The ceremony of crowning the queen became chaotic.
Yang Chaoxue was helped up by Shen Changqi.
Seeing the mess that was the ceremony, I suddenly felt angry and my chest was suffocated.
Xu Zhaoran!
*
Just as Xu Zhaoran said, there was no way Xu Nanheng would let her go.
The Jin Yuwei protected him while following his orders to arrest people.
Whether life or death.
Xu Zhaoran staggered and ran.
There were a lot of people at the ceremony, and if things got chaotic it would be easier for her to run away.
"Princess."
A man appeared in front of him, and Xu Zhaoran didn't stop and threw himself into his arms.
Xu Zhaoran looked at him with gritted teeth: "Wang Anlin! How dare you appear in front of this princess!"
"Why shouldn't I dare?" Wang Anlin smiled gently, straightened her body, and pried open the dagger she was holding in her hand.
"The princess has so many hidden weapons."
He held the dagger, his eyes flickering, like a trapped beast trying to break free from its restraints.
Xu Zhaoran was terrified and scolded him: "Wang Anlin, what do you want to do!"
"Don't you want to--"
"Of course I do."
Wang Anlin suddenly interrupted her, his eyes narrowed and suddenly burst into murderous intent.
The next moment, the dagger pierced into her abdomen.
Xu Zhaoran couldn't believe it: "You!"
Wang Anlin seemed to think that was not enough, so he pushed the dagger a little further and sighed, "I want to kill them all the time, but weren't those people instructed by the princess?"
Those who hurt Xu Li'er and forced her to leave Sheng An were all instigated by Xu Zhaoran.
When he learned that Xu Li'er had been bullied since childhood, he could no longer hide the resentment in his heart.
He didn't care about the fights among the princes; he only cared about who harmed Xu Li'er.
"Xu Zhaoran," Wang Anlin said in a cold tone, "Not everyone can be bullied by you. If she doesn't resist, I will help her get justice."
"Hahaha!"
Xu Zhaoran suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The bright red blood stained the front of his shirt.
For today's coronation ceremony, Wang Anlin specially wore a crescent-white robe.
The bright red blood stains on his chest looked like blooming poppies, beautiful and evil, just like Wang Anlin now.
Xu Zhaoran's bloodstained hands stubbornly grasped the corner of the moon-white robe.
"Wang Anlin, even if you kill this princess, Xu Li'er will never come back. Ahem... you don't know her well enough. She is more ruthless than anyone else, hahaha!"
"Well!"
The dagger made a circle inside the body.
This depth would not kill her immediately, but it caused her great pain.
"Xu Zhaoran, you have so many lives on your hands. It's time to pay back."
Repay?
The law of the jungle has ended, so how can there be any compensation?
If they were really strong enough, they wouldn't let her succeed!
"I am Xu Zhaoran, the fifth princess of the Yu Dynasty. My biological mother is the imperial concubine of the current dynasty. With such a background, they should be afraid of me!"
"I never regret anything I have done! I only regret that I am not as ruthless as my brother!"
She shouldn't be soft-hearted and let Xu Huainian have a chance to survive!
Xu Zhaoran suddenly held his hand, and under his astonished gaze, personally sent him off.
"If you want to torture me, it depends on whether I will give you this opportunity!"
The princess's pride would not allow her to bow to anyone.
Even if she dies, she has to decide for herself!
Wang Anlin stared at her fallen body.
The palms of my hands still retain the warmth of blood.
The ban on adultery is coming soon.
They surrounded Xu Nanheng and walked forward.
“You did a good job.”
Wang Anlin came back to his senses, closed his eyes and knelt down: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
Everything was planned by him and Xu Nanheng.
Although he followed Xu Nanheng, he was not completely loyal to him.
Because he needs enough authority to investigate the truth.
"Report!"
The forbidden guards suddenly rushed in.
"Your Majesty, we have found the whereabouts of the Eleventh Prince and have sent people to capture him!"
The last one finally fell into my hands.
Xu Nanheng laughed: "Okay!"
Wang Anlin, who was kneeling on the ground, calmly glanced at the Imperial Feather Guard who reported.
The eleventh prince...Xu Mu?
