Some people couldn't help but look at Lu Heng, wanting to see what he meant.
Unexpectedly, Lu Heng, who was always their leader, was unusually silent today, with no unusual expression on his face, simply sitting behind the desk.
Unable to get a response from Lu Heng, these people became anxious. It was obvious that Prince Lu was coming with great force, and tonight's banquet might not end well!
Seeing the Prince of Lu's confident and fearless expression, Princess Chaoyang gritted her teeth and sneered twice, "Fine, fine!"
Since my uncle has said so, I, as his niece, can say nothing more.
But I can tell you very clearly that my father is perfectly fine!
Moreover, just a few days ago, he issued an imperial edict for me!
Upon hearing this, not only the King of Lu, but even the courtiers standing nearby were surprised.
The Emperor issued an imperial edict for Princess Chaoyang? What exactly is it for...?
Lu Heng unconsciously lowered his head, concealing the thoughtful look in his eyes.
Amidst the various stares and scrutiny of the crowd, Princess Chaoyang smiled smugly and then waved her hand behind her.
Then they saw a person emerge from the shadows.
The appearance of this person caused many people to exclaim in surprise. It turned out that the person who came was none other than the emperor's personal eunuch, Sixi!
The eunuch Sixi had served the emperor since he was a child, and therefore enjoyed the emperor's great trust.
This person was also extremely loyal to the emperor. He never showed any disrespect to the concubines or court officials and never revealed any secrets.
The fact that this person has appeared means that the Emperor is firmly standing behind Princess Chaoyang, doesn't it?
This speculation made many people's faces turn sour.
But the one with the most unpleasant expression was Prince Lu. His two tiger eyes revealed a hint of ferocity, but in the end he still smiled and said, "Eunuch Sixi."
"It's been so many years! You look like you're doing well!"
The eunuch Sixi bowed humbly and said, "This is all thanks to His Majesty's blessing. His Majesty has shown us mercy, and we servants are living well as well."
Prince Lu sneered, "If that's the case, why didn't you come here to attend the banquet with your closest confidant, the Emperor?"
Si Xi was not angry at the Prince of Lu's reprimand; he simply wore a calm smile.
Princess Chaoyang glanced triumphantly at the people below, "Eunuch Sixi has come here naturally to announce something important."
"Eunuch Sixi, tell them what orders Father Emperor gave earlier."
Si Xi bowed respectfully, then took out a yellow scroll from his sleeve.
Upon seeing the scroll, everyone's eyes widened in shock, and then they all knelt down in unison.
The eunuch Sixi, in a high-pitched voice, read: "By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:"
Now that the affairs of the court are becoming increasingly burdensome, I am no longer able to attend to them all. Therefore, I hereby appoint Princess Chaoyang as Regent Princess to assist in handling all affairs. So be it.
Upon hearing the imperial edict's command, everyone was stunned and no longer thought about keeping their mouths shut.
Regent Princess!
This is something that has never been done before and will never be done again!
If Princess Chaoyang were exceptionally capable, that would be one thing, but she's clearly a crazy woman who only knows how to abuse her power!
The Emperor would actually issue such an imperial edict; has he gone mad?!
