"Three adults, follow me."

Li Xiuzhu's behavior startled Fu Yuehua and Chen, and they immediately realized that the three ministers brought by Li Xiuzhu were not just here to see Fu Wenhan.

Before leaving, the three of them came forward and greeted Chen.

"Please rest assured, Madam Fu. The situation of the Prime Minister has stabilized and will surely turn danger into safety."

"Madam Fu, don't blame the Duke for not caring about the Prime Minister's affairs. He really has other important matters to attend to."

"Mrs. Fu, we have some important things to attend to. We will come to see you when we are done."

At the same time, Li Xiuzhu also said something in his heart.

"My eldest brother was assassinated. This is a very troubled time for the royal family."

Fu Yuehua was stunned. She didn't expect that in addition to her husband and father being assassinated, even her elder brother, the newly enthroned emperor, was assassinated.

And the person is still gone!

this……

Just as Fu Yuehua was daydreaming, Li Xiuzhu had already brought three ministers to his study and took out a scroll of imperial edict from the drawer.

After seeing the imperial edict, the three confirmed what Li Xiuzhu had said before.

Not to mention that the previous will was taken out by Li Xiuzhu, even this one happened suddenly, so it is impossible that Li Xiuzhu prepared it in advance.

Moreover, this thing also needs to have a seal. The seal of a will is different from the seal of an ordinary imperial edict, so it is generally impossible to forge.

"Let's go. The imperial edict must be opened in front of the Queen Mother after all."

After hearing Li Xiuzhu's words, the three of them nodded without any objection.

The opening of the will requires the important officials representing all the officials, the holder of the will and the royal family to open it together.

Having said that, Li Xiuzhu is sure that those in charge of the imperial edicts in all dynasties must have read them in advance.

Who is stupid? No one is stupid, including the emperor, who knows that the holder of the will will definitely read it.

Therefore, basically, those who can get the imperial edict are from the new emperor’s faction.

When I returned to the palace again, it was almost dark.

The sun was about to set in the sky, and the red clouds seemed to tell of the bloody day and also seemed to foreshadow the succession of a new emperor.

Li Xiuzhu entered the Qiantai Palace again with the imperial edict and three ministers.

However, at this time, apart from some concubines of the previous emperor, Ruan Wenjun was not in the Qiantai Palace.

"Lord Sun, where is the Queen Mother?"

Sun Jingyang saw the imperial edict in the hands of the three people and immediately understood.

"The Queen Mother cried several times because of your Majesty's death. She just fainted from crying."

"Princess Wenhua is resting in the side room with me."

Song Lian thought about it after hearing this, and said, "Lord Sun, ask someone to go and check. If he wakes up, he still has to come."

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day."

Although it was a bit inhumane, Sun Jingyang knew that there was nothing he could do about it.

Apart from Queen Mother Ruan Wenjun, no one else can make decisions for the royal family.

"Well, I'll have someone go take a look."

Not long after, to everyone's surprise, Li Liuli came out.

Princess Li Liuli walked out alone, and Queen Mother Ruan Wenjun did not follow.

The three ministers thought that Ruan Wenjun had not woken up yet, but then they heard Li Liuli say, "My mother said that I will take a look at the will, and I can make the final decision."

this……

All right! But when he looked at Li Xiuzhu again, his eyes were strange. How could one family be responsible for both parties? "In that case, the county lord will ask for the edict."

"You three can read it for yourselves. I won't read it."

There are too many words and it’s a waste of time to read them.

Moreover, this will was seeking an official position for himself, and it was a not small position, so it would be a bit embarrassing for him to read it.

And the three of them would definitely want to take a look and verify its authenticity, so I just showed it to them.

When they saw that Li Xiuzhu was appointed as the acting regent, the three of them became upset.

However, the royal succession was unexpected to them, but also reasonable.

After a long silence, the three of them looked at each other and finally nodded.

The title of Regent is admittedly an exaggeration, but according to what the Queen Mother said at the beginning, the throne should have belonged to this Duke.

The fact that he gave up the throne at this time clearly shows what kind of person Li Xiuzhu is.

"Congratulations to the Duke on becoming the Regent."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Li Xiuzhu tilted his head when he heard this and asked, "Where does the joy come from?"

Song Lian had no idea what to do with this rhetorical question, and the other two also laughed in their hearts.

Li Xiuzhu looked at his brother-in-law's body and said softly, "If possible, I would rather not have this regent, and I want His Majesty to live."

Regardless of whether the three believed it or not, he definitely believed it. He had never coveted the throne from the beginning to the end.

As he said, no dog wants to be one.

In the future, I will have to let my son suffer.

Li Xiuzhu sighed and then said to the three people, "The Crown Princess and the Concubine are both pregnant, and the first three months are more dangerous. If the three of them are allowed to come to mourn, it may hurt the fetus."

"I mean to let them come and see and burn incense every day. It's just a gesture. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the three of them were startled. Luo Shicheng asked subconsciously, "Are all three pregnant?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "When we met a few days ago, it was confirmed that Concubine Hai Bie was also pregnant. Concubine Yu Xuanji didn't know yet. But you also know that you can't feel the pulse in the first month of pregnancy."

“So it is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist.”

"It's always better to be careful. This is the last bloodline of the royal family."

Hearing what Li Xiuzhu said, the three of them nodded immediately, and their expressions became much more relaxed.

It has been confirmed that two pregnancies are happening, so the chance of having a prince is about 70%.

Li Xiuzhu didn't know about their speculation, otherwise he would have told them: Brothers, the baby in the Crown Princess's belly is 100% certain to be a prince, do you understand?

Li Liuli knew the inside story and had already known which family would be the emperor. After reading the imperial edict, she just lamented again that her elder brother had a bad luck.

The sky also darkened at this time.

Li Xiuzhu said, "Liuli, please take care of our mother. I'll take Biyao to inform the Crown Prince's Mansion. Big brother left in a hurry, so we need someone to take care of him there."

"Okay, I'll send someone to call Sister Bi Yao."

Because they had seen blood before, Bi Yao took the little ones back to Fengyang Tower to rest, and she was also taking care of them there.

The three ministers looked at the time and left first with the other officials.

Li Liuli then spoke: "Husband, how is Prime Minister Fu? Is Sister Yuehua okay?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head and said, "We have to wait twelve hours before we see. Yuehua is fine for now."

Neither of them mentioned Li Chengze. Li Liuli didn't have deep feelings for him, and Li Xiuzhu didn't know what to say.

It's a bit awkward.

In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to see Ruan Wenjun, but Li Liuli was there and he didn't know how to split himself.
