Chapter 292 The First Prince is Imprisoned
In fact, the Tiger Roar Army's attack on the capital city made such a big noise that it had long attracted the attention of various forces. However, they were helpless because the Tiger Roar Army was too powerful. In addition, Prince Rong's confidants were still in the capital city. At this time, the palace was already firmly controlled by Prince Rong!
Lin Xiaoyue sneered disdainfully, squatting down beside the Queen Mother. She spread out her clenched fingers one by one and asked provocatively, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you? Prince Rong is the inevitable trend. Don't you agree with his ascension to the throne? Do you have someone more suitable in mind?"
Because of Lin Xiaoyue's words, Empress Dowager Yan clearly felt that the gazes from the four circles changed from respect to defense and hostility. Damn Lin Xiaoyue, she actually chose this time to talk nonsense. Does she want to make herself unable to even be the Empress Dowager?
"No! I didn't!" Empress Dowager Yan denied instinctively.
Lin Xiaoyue's lips curled up slightly, and she immediately knelt on the ground with everyone else, kowtowed and thanked them, saying, "The Queen Mother is wise! Long live her!"
At this time, Prince Rong looked at Lin Xiaoyue with even kinder eyes, and felt that Lin Xiaoyue was quite intelligent and courageous!
"Thank you for your grace, Queen Mother! Come, prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" Prince Rong was so happy that a smile overflowed from the corners of his mouth. After enduring for so many years, he finally saw the light at the end of the clouds!
Empress Dowager Yan was so angry that she almost bit off her tongue. She had fallen into Lin Xiaoyue's trap again!
Although Empress Dowager Yan was extremely reluctant, as everyone here was Prince Rong's people, she had to be supported and walked to the table.
“Ahem…”
Suddenly, the sound of Emperor Liang coughing was heard from behind the screen. Empress Dowager Yan seemed to have found a savior. She immediately put down her brush and said, "I think I heard the emperor's voice. Is he awake?"
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Yan was about to walk behind the screen.
Lin Xiaoyue held Empress Dowager Yan's hand and said in a low voice, "Empress Dowager, have you forgotten so quickly? Who was it that wanted to poison you to death in the palace? If it weren't for Brother Liang risking his life to enter the palace and rescue you, do you think you would still be standing here?"
Empress Dowager Yan stood there in silence. If Liang Jingyao or Prince Rong had said these words, it would be suspected that they were seeking credit. She could have questioned them and then refused to give the throne to Prince Rong. But it was Lin Xiaoyue who spoke, and she could only say that she was meddling in her affairs. There was no way to blame Liang Jingyao and Prince Rong.
This is outrageous!
"Miss Lin, you're overthinking it. Of course I remember what Emperor Liang did to me. I just wanted to go over and ask him why he did it?" Empress Dowager Yan racked her brains to come up with an excuse.
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but roll her eyes and retorted, "I see. It's just that Emperor Liang might be emotionally unstable after just waking up. In case he offends the Empress Dowager, we should first ask the imperial physician to go in and take a look. If everything is stable, it won't be too late for the Empress Dowager to go in later!"
Empress Dowager Yan's face was twisted with frustration, but Lin Xiaoyue had said all the good things, so what else could she say? In the end, she was pushed back to the desk by Lin Xiaoyue to continue writing the imperial edict.
Soon, Empress Dowager Yan wrote an imperial edict.
After Lin Xiaoyue got it, she didn't care where Empress Dowager Yan went. With this thing in her hand, the Empress Dowager couldn't deny it even if she wanted to!
"Congratulations, Prince Rong! Congratulations, Brother Liang!" Lin Xiaoyue handed the imperial edict to Prince Rong.
Prince Rong originally thought that it would take some twists and turns to get the Empress Dowager's decree, and at least he would have to offer more benefits. He didn't expect Lin Xiaoyue to be so eloquent and to convince the Empress Dowager so easily. It seems that he had underestimated her before!
"Thank you! There were some things that happened in the past, I hope Miss Lin doesn't mind." When Prince Rong said this, his heart was filled with gratitude and sincerity.
Lin Xiaoyue knew that it was better to resolve a feud than to create one, and the other party was Brother Liang's father, her father's immediate superior. Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Prince Rong also said that it was a thing of the past, so there is no need to mention it again."
"Very good!" Prince Rong nodded in appreciation, feeling that such an intelligent girl was worthy of his own Jing Yao.
At this moment, Chen Hu walked into the Qinzheng Palace with good news and reported, "Your Highness, we have everyone in the palace under control. Also, the eldest prince has been making trouble outside the palace. What should we do about this? Should we chase him away or arrest him directly?"
Prince Rong waved his hand and said, "No need, let him in if he wants to."
After a while, the eldest prince was brought into the Qinzheng Hall.
The eldest prince did not see his father, and in a panic, he grabbed Prince Rong's clothes and asked, "Traitor! Where is my father?"
Prince Rong slapped the eldest prince to the ground and scolded him, "How dare you! What qualifications do you have to call me a traitor? Come, take the eldest prince away and imprison him. No one can see him without my permission!"
The eldest prince was dumbfounded. Ever since Prince Rong broke into the capital, many people around him had advised him to stay in the palace for a better life. However, he was worried about his father and wanted to go to the palace to take a look. He didn't expect that he would be imprisoned. Would he be able to get out in this lifetime?
"Don't arrest me. I am the eldest prince of Dongsui Kingdom, the legitimate son of my father, and the most legitimate heir. No one can arrest me!" The eldest prince anxiously pushed away the four Tiger Roar soldiers who surrounded him and wanted to escape alone.
But the four Tiger Roaring Soldiers were not the precious eldest prince. They simply tied up the eldest prince and carried him out of the Qinzheng Hall.
Princess Mingzhu is no longer the soft-hearted princess she used to be. Although she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the eldest prince being kidnapped, when she thought about the days when she was bullied by Emperor Liang and the eldest prince never stood up to say a word for her, the discomfort in Princess Mingzhu's heart disappeared instantly.
"Prince Rong, since you have received the Queen Mother's decree, you might as well ask the Imperial Observatory to come over and set the date of your coronation as soon as possible to avoid any further complications!" Princess Mingzhu reminded.
Prince Rong had already had this idea in mind, and Princess Mingzhu's words now hit the mark exactly as he wanted. However, before this, Prince Rong had other ideas.
"Jingyao, come here." King Rong waved to Liang Jingyao.
Liang Jingyao stepped forward and asked, "Father, why did you call me here?"
Prince Rong patted Liang Jingyao on the back lovingly and praised him, "My Jingyao is becoming more and more outstanding. I am old, and even if I sit on the throne, I will not have many years left. I want to leave this position to you."
Liang Jingyao quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, refusing, "Father, this is absolutely unacceptable! I am still young and know nothing about the affairs of the court. I need to learn more from your side. Please rescind your order!"
Prince Rong glanced at Lin Xiaoyue and asked, "Are you rejecting me because of Miss Lin?"
