The box was opened layer by layer, like a nesting doll, and finally a bright yellow imperial edict was revealed.
Emperor Shengwu did not open it immediately, but returned to the palace.
Bei Lingyao thought he was going back to Taiji Palace, but she didn't expect it was Fengyi Palace.
The study was occupied, so Bei Lingyao did not follow him in.
Xing Yi spread out the will, revealing all its contents.
Xing Yi's hand trembled and the will almost fell. He was about to kneel down and apologize, but Emperor Shengwu waved his hand and asked him to leave.
"Empress"
Xing Yi hurried out and saluted Bei Lingyao.
"Excuse me, Eunuch Xing."
Bei Lingyao was about to ask about Emperor Shengwu's condition in the study when Xing Yi said with a worried look on his face, "Your Majesty, the Emperor waved his hand and asked this servant to withdraw."
"What's going on inside?"
Bei Lingyao didn't hear any sound.
Xing Yi sighed and shook his head, without saying the contents of the will.
I just feel that the emperor has suffered too much.
The late emperor was not a father.
Bei Lingyao waited for a long time but did not see Emperor Shengwu come out, so she immediately pushed the door open and went in with her son in her arms.
Emperor Shengwu stood with his back to the door, his hands behind his back, his expression unrecognizable.
"emperor"
Bei Lingyao called softly, and Emperor Shengwu turned to look at Bei Lingyao and the son in her arms, nodded slightly and said nothing.
Bei Lingyao came forward, glanced at the bright yellow will on the desk, and quickly summarized a few points.
First, Huangfu Xiao was forty years old and had no children, so he made Prince Fu the crown prince. When Prince Fu died, he made Prince Fu the crown prince.
Second, Huangfu Xiao died and Prince Fu succeeded him to the throne. After Prince Fu passed away, the throne was passed to Prince Fu.
Third, if Huangfu Xiao is incompetent and unjust, disrespectful to his mother and unkind to his younger brother, the Empress Dowager and Prince Fu can use the will to depose the emperor and ascend the throne.
…
The late emperor was really cruel to his son, Emperor Shengwu.
Even though Emperor Shengwu had long been tempered into steel, he was still heartbroken at this moment.
It’s so miserable!
Bei Lingyao was full of sympathy. Seeing Emperor Shengwu turning evil, she didn't know whether she should stop him.
Not to mention Emperor Shengwu, even she wants to turn evil.
"Your Majesty, if you are angry, please vent it. Don't be wronged and damage your dragon body. Although the late emperor is gone, the queen mother and the deposed king are still alive, and there are also rebels in the southwest."
"Yao'er is right. I am too kind after all."
Emperor Shengwu sneered, his eyes cold.
"Yeah!"
The little boy grinned toothlessly and reached out to his father.
Emperor Shengwu looked at his son's bright eyes, and the coldness around him dissipated. He picked up his son from Bei Lingyao's arms.
Bei Lingyao watched the father and son getting along with each other with a smile, picked up the will on the ground and put it back on the table.
As for how to deal with it after burning, it depends on Emperor Shengwu.
Suddenly, Bei Lingyao paused slightly and walked out.
Xing Yi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Grand Princess and several other royal consorts and ladies heard that the Queen Mother was ill, so they wanted to go to the palace to visit her."
Bei Lingyao's mind moved, and she had an idea.
He immediately returned to the study and said to Emperor Shengwu, who was playing with his son on the Luohan bed, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Xing has reported that the Grand Princess, the royal consorts, and other ladies of state are coming to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager."
"OK"
Emperor Shengwu's eyes flickered as he looked at Bei Lingyao, "Yao'er, can you hypnotize the Queen Mother one more time? I want her to personally acknowledge that Prince Fu is Wu Chengqi's son."
Bei Lingyao didn't expect that Emperor Shengwu had the same idea as her.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please leave it to me. But what are Your Majesty's plans for the southwest?"
Bei Lingyao didn't take the Queen Mother and Prince Fu seriously, and it would only take a minute to kill the mother and son.
It’s just that Emperor Shengwu wanted to deal with the mother and son in the interests of justice.
But in the southwest, I don’t know how many people will die.
"In the southwest, I have already arranged for the army to depart. Yao'er, don't worry. When I was the crown prince, Wu Chengqi rejected my attempts to win him over many times. How could I trust him after I ascended the throne? I have been preparing for this for the past ten years."
If Wu Chengqi had behaved himself, Emperor Shengwu would not have touched him.
After all, Wu Chengqi is indeed a rare talent in leading troops and fighting.
Emperor Shengwu really didn't know that Wu Chengqi had such a relationship with the Queen Mother, or even Prince Fu.
Now it doesn’t matter whether Prince Fu is the son of the late emperor or not. Emperor Shengwu must make sure that Prince Fu is the son of Wu Chengqi.
Thinking about how the late emperor had used him without any regard for the father-son relationship, he didn't want to care about the late emperor's reputation and dignity.
As for the Empress Dowager and Prince Fu, Emperor Shengwu couldn't help but look forward to it.
The next morning, the eldest princess and several princesses from the royal family, as well as marquises, dukes, ministers and other first-rank wives entered the palace.
Ling naturally came as well. She is now the wife of the first-class Duke Cheng'en and also the first-rank imperial consort.
Ling was very happy to have the opportunity to enter the palace to see her daughter and grandson.
"The Empress is attending to the Empress Dowager in Shou'an Palace."
The ladies from outside the royal family originally thought about going to Fengyi Palace to pay their respects to the Queen first, and then going to Shou'an Palace together to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.
After all, everyone can see that the Queen Mother is on the decline, while Queen Bei is the rising sun.
She was able to persuade Emperor Shengwu to disband his harem for her, and she also gave birth to his only son, who was named the crown prince.
None of the ladies outside the royal family looked down on Queen Bei.
At this time, Ling was befriended by many ladies from other official families.
The eldest princess was very depressed when she saw this.
My daughter was burned and disfigured in the temple, with skin ulcerated over most of her body. She spent the whole day in the yard, breaking down and going crazy.
Thinking of Bei Lingyao, the only one in the harem, the eldest princess couldn't stop feeling hatred in her heart.
If it weren't for the Bei family, her daughter would still be Concubine Lu, who was in charge of the phoenix seal in the harem.
If there was no Bei, the emperor could only adopt a son from the royal family, and daughters had the highest status in the harem, so they were naturally the most qualified to raise the royal heir.
Even if the royal heir is adopted by a daughter, the daughter can become a royal concubine or even a queen.
In the future, she will be the regent queen mother of the Great Gan Kingdom.
The mother and daughter were the Regent Queen Mother and the Regent Princess respectively, and they left a deep mark in history books.
Her name was recorded in history, but her ambitions were ruined by the sudden appearance of the Bei family.
At this time, the eldest princess invited the ladies from outside the palace to enter the palace, one to see the empress dowager's condition, and the other to find out the late emperor's will.
The news of the rebellion of the mighty general in the southwest spread to the capital. Emperor Shengwu was hindered by his great reputation on the battlefield and his 300,000 elite armored soldiers.
Everyone is still stable.
As a princess of the royal family, the eldest princess naturally did not want the mighty general to succeed in his rebellion.
Instead, she hoped that Emperor Shengwu and General Weiwu would both suffer heavy losses, and then she would support the crown prince to ascend the throne and become the regent princess.
As for Bei Lingyao, she was simply ignored by the Grand Princess.
In the eyes of the Grand Princess, Bei Lingyao just had a good look and a good belly.
The Bei family has a shallow foundation, and even if he becomes the father-in-law of the emperor, he cannot defeat her who has the support of the royal family.
"Madam Cheng'en, my eldest grandson is getting married next month. You must do me the honor of attending. It would be a great opportunity to share in your good fortune."
The eldest princess felt envious and jealous when she thought of Ling's belly, which had given birth to seven sons.
He wished he could get rid of the entire Bei family and Queen Bei in the palace as soon as possible.
But the eldest princess also knew that now was not the time to offend, so she could only make friends first and then plan for the future.
