But I had already read it, and the words spoken were like spilled water, impossible to take back, so I had to bite the bullet and continue reading.
After finishing reading and closing the imperial edict, Eunuch Qian also looked confused.
The eldest prince has always vowed that he will definitely be the successor to the throne.
How come it’s completely different now?
Although he was horrified, the matter had come to this point and the die was cast. After the imperial edict was read out in front of so many ministers, the seventh prince's succession to the throne was a foregone conclusion.
Eunuch Qian's thoughts raced, and he respectfully ran before the Seventh Prince, holding the imperial edict in his hand. "Please accept the edict, new emperor."
The seventh prince, Li Junze, is 18 years old this year. He has not yet reached adulthood and has a very young face.
He seemed to have never expected that he would be the successor, and his face was full of shock.
"Father-in-law, this..."
Eunuch Qian smiled and said, "I don't know what's going on, but the imperial edict is indeed written like this. The new emperor should quickly accept the order!"
Prince Heng also reacted at this time and hurried forward, "Please accept the order, new emperor. This is the last wish of the late emperor. The late emperor's power is in the hands of the new emperor. He must have high regard for the new emperor. We will definitely assist him with all our heart."
The other ministers responded and knelt down to ask the Seventh Prince to accept the order and succeed to the throne.
The Seventh Prince looked at Prince Heng and the other ministers, then at Li Junyan, "Third brother, look..."
Li Junyan's face was expressionless. "I will follow the late emperor's wishes."
The Seventh Prince looked at the First Prince again, "Brother, this..."
The eldest prince could no longer hold back from the moment he heard the contents of the imperial edict, and the expression on his face was extremely ferocious.
After hearing the Seventh Prince's question, the eldest prince's mouth twitched fiercely, and his eyes became even gloomier. "Eunuch Qian, can I see the imperial edict?"
Eunuch Qian hesitated, "This..."
Why would gods fight each other, why would they make things difficult for him, a slave?
Prince Heng took the imperial edict directly from Eunuch Qian's hands and slowly opened it so that everyone present could see it clearly. "If the eldest prince wants to see it, then read it this way."
The contents of the imperial edict were presented to everyone. The handwriting was obviously written by the emperor himself. Perhaps because of his weak body and powerless hands, the handwriting was not as good as before, but it was definitely not imitated by someone else.
In particular, there is a series of seals on it, including not only the imperial seal, but also the emperor's private seal.
After clearly seeing the contents of the imperial edict, the eldest prince staggered and took several steps back before he managed to steady himself.
He had been planning for so long, letting Zhao Wanxi poison the emperor and get rid of the prince, and then framed Lei Shou for the second poisoning, all in order to succeed to the throne smoothly.
But he never imagined that after doing so much, he was just making wedding clothes for others in vain.
The old emperor was indeed dead, but he passed the throne to the inconspicuous seventh son.
All his plans became a joke at this moment.
The eldest prince smiled sadly, turned around and staggered out.
Looking at the eldest prince's departing back, Prince Heng's face turned grim. "Eldest prince, where are you going?"
The eldest prince ignored him and walked out the door in the blink of an eye.
The Seventh Prince looked at the eldest prince's departing figure with a calm expression, "Uncle, it's okay. Big brother must be feeling sad because of the passing of our father. Let him go and be alone for a while."
Prince Heng glanced at the Seventh Prince with admiration, "The new emperor's tolerance is a blessing to us and all the people of the world."
The others echoed and knelt before the Seventh Prince, asking him to arrange the enthronement.
Li Junyan stood outside the crowd and said nothing about what they were discussing.
The Seventh Prince was shy and even a little nervous before, but as he spoke more and more, everything became arranged in an orderly manner without any panic.
Sang Jueqian felt as if he had arranged this countless times before, so everything was easy for him.
This Seventh Prince is definitely not as simple as he appears to be.
But Sang Jueqian didn't really care what kind of person he was.
She only hoped that this person would not have any hostility towards Li Junyan, and that after the coronation ceremony, he could allow Li Junyan to return safely to his fiefdom.
Although Li Junyan didn't say a word from beginning to end, Sang Jueqian knew that what he was thinking at this moment should be exactly the same as hers.
Although the arrangements for the new emperor's enthronement have been made, the most important thing at the moment is the funeral ceremony of the late emperor.
Fortunately, there are regulations for this, and people from the Ministry of Rites are in charge, so everything was arranged quickly.
