According to the law, if the emperor dies first without determining the crown prince and crown princess, the empress has a say in the selection of this person.
In other words, no matter who the cabinet, the Senate, and the military favor as emperor, they must obtain the queen's endorsement.
If the queen disagrees, the emperor cannot be determined.
Queen Li Fengen's attitude clearly shows that she does not recognize the heir status of Tan Tai and Gui, as well as the child in Ying Wuxin's belly.
At this moment, Tan Tai Yugui, who was sitting with Ying Wuxin, curled his lips slightly, looking indifferent.
He and Ying Wuxin were sitting in the same row with the Queen and the eldest princess.
The queen is in the first place, next to her is Ying Wuxin, on the other side of Ying Wuxin is Tan Tai Yugui, and then the eldest princess Tan Tai Jinyu.
These four people represent the four people closest to the late emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan.
One is his wife, one is his son, one is the woman pregnant with his child, and one is his sister with the same father and mother.
There were many security personnel surrounding the eldest princess, Tan Tai Jin Yu.
The other members of the royal family were all distant relatives, and their seats were two rows further back than the four people in front.
Security personnel sat in both rows.
As for the royal family members who sat farther away, compared with their immediate family members, some had more turns, while others only had one.
If it weren't for Tan Tai and Gui, and the child in Ying Wuxin's belly, these royal family members who had taken a detour would have been the first in line to inherit the throne.
They all had complicated feelings towards Tan Tai and Gui Heying Wuxin in front of them.
Only the eldest princess, Tan Tai Jin Yu, remained indifferent and calm.
After the Queen's speech, it was Tan Tai's turn to return.
He was a member of the royal family who had just "returned to his roots" and he had no feelings at all towards the emperor, his cheap father.
Before they could recognize each other, the guy was assassinated.
For Tan Tai and Gui, such a father is almost the same as not having him.
It would be better for Quan Junxiao to watch him grow up and make him feel a sense of belonging.
However, now that I am standing on this altar, I still have to say some nice words.
Therefore, Tan Tai and Gui took out an obituary written by their mechanical intelligence and read it slowly.
There is no emotion, no skill, just pure rote recitation.
After he finished reading, the church fell silent and everyone looked solemn. They looked at him as if they were looking at the emperor.
Next is Ying Wuxin.
She was paying tribute to the deceased emperor on behalf of the baby in her womb.
From beginning to end, she had a look of deep resentment and bitterness on her face, as if her entire family had died.
Her beauty, which was so similar to that of her aunt, was also greatly reduced.
After she went down, Xia Chujian thought, the last person to stand up and give a speech should be the eldest princess Tan Tai Jin Yu, right?
Sure enough, the eldest princess Tan Tai Jin Yu stood up.
She was dressed in a gorgeous dress, wearing a hat trimmed with phoenix feathers and a long black veil that reached down to her waist.
Xia Chujian looked down at her condescendingly, and suddenly something came to her mind:... a veil?
Princess Tan Tai Jin Yu, why does she wear a veil on such an occasion?
If this is the etiquette of noble ladies, then among the many top noble ladies present, including the queen and Ying Wuxin, no one is wearing a veil.
So why does she wear a veil?
Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes.
Just as the eldest princess, Tan Tai Jin Yu, walked up to the altar with graceful demeanor and stood behind the podium, preparing to give a speech, a group of people wearing the uniforms of the Punishment Department suddenly rushed in.
There were so many of them that once they came in, they occupied all the exits and windows of the church hall.
Each of them was wearing bulletproof vests and conventional mechas, and they stood in front of everyone with their burly figures.
The people in the cathedral hall were stunned and didn't react at all.
Ye Shijie was the last one to come in.
After he came in, he immediately said to the eldest princess, Tan Tai Jin Yu, who was standing behind the podium on the altar, "Madam, please come down."
"The eldest princess should be giving a speech now. May I ask what you are doing up there?"
After he said this, everyone came to their senses and immediately looked at the "Princess" standing behind the podium on the altar.
Ye Shijie then saluted the people in the hall and said, "My lords, I'm sorry to bother you."
"The Disciplinary Department is investigating the case. They were forced to intervene unexpectedly to apprehend the culprit behind the murder of Baron Ying's entire family twenty years ago."
"Your Majesty, if he knew about this in the afterlife, he would definitely understand us."
After he said this, most people in the cathedral hall felt relieved.
Someone quickly stood up and said, "Since the Correctional Department is handling the case, it's not appropriate for us to stay here. — Goodbye."
These people wanted to leave, but the staff of the Disciplinary Department standing at the door did not move and still blocked the door.
Ye Shijie said slowly: "Everyone, please be patient. Once we bring the real culprit behind this to justice, you can leave."
The person who rushed to the front at this time was a senior cabinet official.
He said with a look of surprise, "You can arrest us if you want, but what do you mean by not allowing us to leave? Do you suspect that we are all murderers?! - This is absolutely ridiculous!"
Ye Shijie said politely: "Of course not. There is only one real murderer behind the scenes, but this person is particularly good at disguising himself and hiding in the crowd."
"We're not releasing him now because we're worried he might hide in the crowd and sneak away."
After he said this, the people in the cathedral hall became even more uneasy.
