"You can't sit on the throne. If you don't want to die, you can choose to cooperate with Brother Ayu and become a prince who works hard and loves the people. You can also leave a good reputation for eternity."
After saying this, Xiao Shuangbao stood up and said goodbye. "Thank you for your hospitality today, but I also told you a fortune. Your invitation to dinner will be considered as payment."
It was a long time after she left that Prince Qi finally smiled with relief.
In his heart, between fighting to the death and being remembered forever, he really preferred being remembered forever.
After Xiao Shuangbao left, he did not return to the palace immediately, but took the opportunity to go out today to see Yun Wuchen again.
Now, Yun Wuchen and Ling Ge live together in an inn in the city.
In the past few days, Yun Wuchen has been busy collecting Su Liao's soul fragments.
When Xiao Shuangbao arrived, Yun Wuchen happened to have just returned from outside. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "The soul fragments have been collected. Now your father can be resurrected at any time. Little Princess, how did you talk to Bai Luowan today? Do you know where the Ghost Mother is now?"
"Bai Luowan is dead, his soul scattered, and the Ghost Mother is likely to have been resurrected and is hiding somewhere in Dali City."
Little Shuangbao briefly recounted what had happened, "I plan to use Daddy's resurrection ritual to lure the Ghost Mother out."
"But will she show up? She might not even have time to hide from you now." Yun Wuchen expressed his doubts.
"Daddy killed her back then, so the person she hated the most should be daddy. If she knew that my father could be resurrected, she would definitely not be willing to accept it and would find ways to destroy it. Moreover, she was resurrected by Bai Luowan using a forbidden technique, so she must have a strong soul to support her to continue living. So, she will definitely want to get my father's soul." However, Xiao Shuangbao was extremely certain.
She stayed in the inn for a while and then returned to the palace.
Two days later, Emperor Wen was critically ill.
He died that night.
Empress Chen immediately announced that she would temporarily take charge of government affairs on behalf of Emperor Wen.
At this time, Xiao Shuangbao appeared with the imperial seal and imperial edict given by Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen had previously told Xiao Shuangbao that when the time came for this imperial decree, she would know what to do.
After Emperor Wen passed away, she took out the imperial edict and read it carefully.
It turned out that this was the imperial edict that Emperor Wen left for Zhongli Yu to pass on the throne.
He passed his throne to Crown Prince Zhongli Yu, and the imperial seal was also handed over to him.
However, when Xiao Shuangbao announced the existence of the imperial edict of succession and the imperial seal, Empress Chen jumped out to object.
"You are just a little princess of Dongqi, not from my country of Nanyan. How could the late emperor give you such an important thing? You must have used some trick to steal the jade seal and forged the imperial edict! Although Ayu is the crown prince, he is still young. Even if he should inherit the throne, I should assist him in governing the country!"
After all, Queen Chen is Zhongli Yu's biological mother.
She stood out against her own son, which had a great influence among the court officials.
"It is precisely because I am not from Southern Yan that Uncle Emperor Wen does not have to worry that I will be implicated with other members of the Southern Yan royal family. He feels that I can be trusted! Moreover! The imperial edict did not say that you are to assist in the administration, it only said that the throne will be passed to Brother Ayu! Queen Chen, you do not have that ability, so don't always think about sitting in that position!" Xiao Shuangbao heard her say this and refuted.
"How dare you speak to me like that?"
When Empress Chen heard her say that she was incompetent, her face darkened immediately. She looked at her coldly and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking!
"You keep pushing the Crown Prince to ascend the throne. On the surface, it seems to be for his own good, but in reality, isn't it for your own good?
"Don't you just want the prince to ascend the throne so that you can become his queen in the future?
"I'm telling you! You'd better give up on this idea!
"I am the Crown Prince's mother. His marriage is decided by me alone! I will not allow him to marry a princess from another country like you! With your qualifications, you can only be a concubine to the Crown Prince in the future! Don't even think about becoming the Queen's principal wife!"
Xiao Shuangbao didn't care what Queen Chen said.
However, when he heard that she was trying to interfere with his marriage, he immediately became furious!
Seeing that Zhongli Yu's face also darkened slightly and he wanted to stand up and speak, Xiao Shuangbao immediately felt that she had to do it herself!
"You take your status as queen too seriously, don't you?"
So, she grabbed Zhongli Yu's hand, puffed up her soft, white face, and angrily retorted to Queen Chen, "When I grow up, I will definitely marry Brother Ayu. No matter whether he is the crown prince or the emperor of Southern Yan, I will be his only wife! There can't be anyone else!"
"If he is the crown prince, then I will be the only crown princess!
"If he is the emperor, then I am the queen!
"This is not something you can interfere with!"
Zhongli Yu couldn't help feeling bad when he heard her extremely confident and domineering words.
"You're talking nonsense!" Empress Chen retorted immediately upon hearing this. "If the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, there will definitely be a selection of concubines for the harem to expand the royal family. How could there be only you? Even if the Crown Prince agrees to your nonsense, I certainly won't!"
"You are talking nonsense! As the queen, don't you still control the harem? How dare you interfere in Brother Ayu's affairs? Don't you think Brother Ayu will listen to your nonsense?"
Little Shuangbao put his hands around his chest and looked at Queen Chen with contempt, the disgust in his eyes was too obvious.
