She's already dead, can't she be buried as the Crown Princess?!
Quan Jiuyi opened his eyes and looked at Quan Yuxun for help.
Kwon Yu-hoon still had that mask-like "Kwon Yu-hoon smile" on his face.
Noticing Quan Jiuyi's gaze, Quan Yuxun put his finger to his lips and made a "shut up" gesture to her.
His expression seemed to be smiling but not laughing, and there was an irresistible majesty and warning on his usually gentle and refreshing face.
Quan Jiuyi: “…”
The meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
It was Chairman Kang who broke the silence and asked in confusion, "...Although Tan Tai Jing is not the Empress's daughter, she is indeed the Emperor's princess."
"So, Xia Chujian, why are you still resisting?"
"You killed the Crown Princess. The evidence is irrefutable! Stop making excuses!"
Xia Chujian had seen this person on Starnet and knew that he was Speaker Kang of the Lower House of the Senate.
She bluntly retorted, "Chairman Kang, you are the one who makes the law. How can you forget the foundation of your life?!"
"According to the Imperial Constitution, illegitimate children have no inheritance rights. This also applies to the Imperial Family and is one of the fundamental laws of the constitutional monarchy."
"Now, proving that Tan Tai Jing is not the Empress's daughter, even if she is... the Emperor's bloodline, can only prove that she is... the Emperor's illegitimate daughter, not a legitimate one."
"So, she has no inheritance rights."
"Since she has no right of inheritance, you cannot claim she is the Crown Princess. And of course you cannot use the killing of the Crown Princess as a pretext to charge me with an unforgivable crime."
"On the contrary, someone used an illegitimate daughter to confuse the royal bloodline. This is an unforgivable crime!"
"The crime should be punished by slow slicing and the extermination of all nine generations of the clan!"
"...Chairman Kang, what do you think? Is that right?"
After she said this, almost everyone in the conference room turned their eyes to Quan Juntai and Quan Yuxun.
After all, everyone has guessed who gave birth to the Crown Princess Tan Tai Jing...
Only Chairman Kang's pupils suddenly shrank, his face burning with shame.
He is also the Speaker of the Lower House of the Senate!
What is the Senate?!
The Senate is the body that makes laws!
But he forgot this very important constitutional provision!
Chairman Kang was furious and was about to scold Xia Chujian when he heard the queen's gentle voice.
"Classmate Xia Chujian is right."
"This Tan Tai Jing is indeed not my biological daughter, so she certainly cannot be the heir to the throne."
"By the way, she cannot have the surname Tantai. I will notify the royal family and remove her from the royal family tree."
"As for who is attempting to confuse the royal bloodline with an illegitimate daughter, I need you gentlemen to thoroughly investigate and give me justice!"
In just a few words, Tan Tai Jing's status as the first heir to the throne was stripped away.
The queen raised her eyes and swept her gaze across the indifferent faces of the chief cabinet commander Quan Juntai and the chief legal adviser of the Senate Quan Yuxun.
The queen was a little surprised that both of them acted as if it had nothing to do with her.
But she didn't show it. She just looked away, looked at everyone in the conference room, and said calmly: "Everyone is a witness this year. Do you agree with my proposal?"
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, and finally looked at the Chief Cabinet Commander Quan Juntai and Speaker Li of the Senate.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Quan Juntai said directly: "This is the royal family's internal affairs, and our cabinet has no right to interfere."
Speaker Li also said: "This is an internal matter of the royal family. It should be under the supervision of the high priest and decided jointly by the royal family and the clan."
The Queen said, "Could you please sign this certificate?"
Speaker Li nodded: "That's for sure."
"We have seen with our own eyes that all procedures are legal, reasonable and appropriate."
As he spoke, he first signed the certificate.
The Queen is also a member of the Li family. Needless to say, Speaker Li is on the Queen's side.
Then everyone else in the meeting room signed one by one.
The queen carefully put away the certificates and held them in her arms.
She looked at Xia Chujian and said seriously, "Thank you, Xia Chujian, you really helped me a lot."
"If you wish, you can come to my side and be a first-class lady-in-waiting."
The female officials around the queen are divided into seven levels.
Level seven is the lowest level and level one is the highest level.
This was the highest position promised to the queen right from the start.
For all the noble women in the Beichen Empire, this was an unattainable position.
As long as she holds a position as a first-class female official beside the queen, no one will dare to underestimate her even if she marries into her husband's family in the future.
Xia Chujian felt that the Queen was being too nice to her since they were first meeting.
She has always been extremely wary and suspicious of other people's kindness for no reason.
So she just smiled and said noncommittally: "It is my honor to help the Queen."
She bowed slightly and did not mention whether she was willing to be a first-class female official beside the queen.
Of course, everyone knows it, but if they don’t mention it, it means they don’t want to.
The Queen did not seem to expect that anyone would reject her proposal.
She looked at her for a while, her eyes becoming more gentle, and murmured, "I don't know where my daughter is..."
"If she had grown up healthy, she would have been the same age as you, nineteen, the age of a blooming flower..."
Xia Chujian said politely, "The Queen's daughter must be blessed by heaven and will grow up safely."
