Chapter 979 Why do you always try to stop me?
"Every word he said was for the sake of the orthodoxy of our Great Yan Dynasty. As the saying goes, punishment does not apply to officials, and courtesy does not extend to common people. Why are you asking them to drag him down? This—are you feeling guilty?"
When Qin Ruolan heard the word "guilty conscience", his anger grew even stronger.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Why should I feel guilty?"
Gao Yurong, who was standing by, immediately stepped forward and said with a half-smile, "Since Madam Qin has no guilty conscience, why not let Lord Liu finish what he has to say?"
“…”
Qin Ruolan gritted his teeth, turned his head and looked at Liu Yueze who was standing at the bottom of the hall, and said word by word: "Master Liu, do you have anything else to say?"
Liu Yueze said loudly: "Of course."
"What?"
"Today's enthronement ceremony is neither proper nor legal, and must not proceed."
"you--"
At this point, Qin Ruolan became a little angry and gritted his teeth, "You are just a small official in the Ministry of Justice. What right do you have to declare that today's enthronement ceremony cannot be held?"
“…”
"You know, this is a crime of usurpation!"
Liu Yueze looked up at her and said calmly, "Of course I know. I am just a small official in the Ministry of Justice, but I have to bear the burden of my master's salary. Since I am the official in charge of the Ministry of Justice, I must do my job well."
“…”
"Lady Qin's case of falsely accusing the King of Wei of communal poetry has not yet been resolved. You, despite being guilty, are vainly attempting to enter the harem and be canonized as a concubine. This is a crime of usurpation!"
"you--"
Qin Ruolan gritted his teeth and said, "How could I possibly harm the King of Wei? He is my—"
"Madam Qin!"
Before she could finish her words, Xu Miaoyin's deep voice suddenly rang out from behind her, interrupting her.
Qin Ruolan frowned and turned to look at her.
Xu Miaoyin looked at her coldly and said, "Today is the day of your enthronement. Think carefully before you speak."
“…”
Qin Ruolan's heart sank slightly.
She did think about getting reacquainted with Zhu Chengxuan after she was restored to power. After all, Zhu Feng was in this situation now. If he could love her again, he would probably agree to let her recognize her son.
The reason why he didn't do this from the beginning was because he was concerned about the queen.
After all, she was Zhu Chengxuan's biological mother who had raised him for more than ten years.
Moreover, she is the queen who is in charge of the harem.
Although there has never been any sisterly love between the two of them, they are still quite harmonious, or at least they can live in peace. Xu Miaoyin knew what she had done and made her promise that she would never recognize Zhu Chengxuan again, so she recognized Zhu Chengxuan as her own son.
But now, if I publicly announce it here, it would be equivalent to completely offending the Queen...
She still needs to consider this matter.
Just as she was hesitating, Duke Cheng stepped forward from the hall and said, "Regardless of the previous case, I believe that today's enthronement ceremony is indeed an act of usurpation. Your Majesty, this action cannot be allowed!"
Liu Yueze looked back.
He was a little surprised that Duke Chengguo would ask to help him at this time.
Or rather, help them.
Not only was he surprised, but even Gu Tingqiu and the others who were standing not far behind him and had originally planned to step forward and speak were a little surprised.
After exchanging a glance with Duke Cheng, there seemed to be a hint of tacit understanding in everyone's eyes.
Gu Tingqiu also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider."
You know, although Gu Tingqiu had no reputation and no power in the court when he was in Jinling, when Zhu Feng moved the capital to Beiping, his status suddenly became important.
Not only did he have the merit of building the city of Beiping, but because the previous Minister of Works had committed a crime, he was directly promoted to the Vice Minister of Works.
More importantly, this is already the north.
The Gu family was originally a famous and prominent family in Henan, and he was a famous scholar of the Gu family, whose reputation in the north was already very high, so all of a sudden, his status in the court jumped up and was close to that of Duke Cheng.
Now, the two most important officials in the court have spoken.
Xu Miaoyin gave Xu Shifeng and the others a wink.
Immediately, a group of military officers led by Xu Shifeng stepped forward, knelt before Zhu Feng, and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"You, you guys—"
Qin Ruolan was stunned when she saw this scene.
She originally thought that what happened on the day of the imperial concubine's enthronement would not happen to her.
After all, I don’t have such a complicated background, and I haven’t offended anyone.
She just wanted a canonization ceremony.
Because during the years when she and Zhu Feng became estranged because of that incident, or even when their relationship broke up, she saw those women appearing around Zhu Feng, including Xu Miaoyin, Wu Wan, and Gao Yurong. Even after he ascended the throne, there were more and more women in the harem.
But she knew that those women were just "accepted" by him.
There is no emotion, only responsibility.
But Si Nanyan is different.
As soon as she saw the woman appear, she realized that she was different.
She was not "accepted" by Zhu Feng, but "left behind" by Zhu Feng.
She was closer to Zhu Feng than anyone else, and touched his heart more. She watched them travel all over the country, and the two of them became closer and closer, and their hearts grew closer and closer.
Obviously, her place is hers.
Mingming, Zhu Feng had looked at her with that kind of eyes before, he had been gentle to her, and he had also been desperate for her.
Si Nanyan took away everything.
After great difficulty, she finally got this opportunity, an opportunity given to her by God. Zhu Feng forgot all the past and came back to her side again. He was close to her again and looked at her with that gentle gaze again.
If this is really a reliving of an old dream, then she really hopes that she will never wake up from this dream.
And she wanted this canonization ceremony just because——
Because Zhu Feng had given it to Si Nanyan before.
She just wanted to prove to her, or perhaps, just to herself, that Zhu Feng cared about her just as much!
But why, why did these people come one by one to stop her.
Am I more unacceptable to them than Si Nanyue?
She was a little flustered and looked at these people with some reluctance.
"Why……"
She kept asking herself in her heart: Why do you have to stop me? What did I do wrong? I just want to preserve a memory for myself and him!
"Why……"
While she kept asking herself this question, Zhu Feng beside her slowly raised his head.
His eyes were slightly red as he looked at the situation in front of him.
familiar……
Such a familiar scene...
This familiar feeling kept attacking his mind and body. It felt as if thousands of troops were fighting inside his body, tearing his internal organs into pieces and making them bleed profusely.
"Why...why do you always have to...stop me?"
