The Zichen Palace is bustling with activity!
It was even more lively than the grand court assembly on the winter solstice.
After all, no matter how many people attend the grand court assembly, only a few can actually enter the hall.
Here are the King of Song, the King of Dai, the King of Wei, the King of E, the King of Wu, the King of Shen, the King of Jing, the King of Peng, the King of Qi... and various other princes.
All the dukes must take a step back, and the feudal lords must take another step back.
Yan Luan squeezed into a corner with the Cui family members, watching the Crown Princess arrive, a cold wind blew!
Huan Yue disregarded the world, only caring about sages!
Sitting on his throne, looking at Qing'e, he was quite satisfied.
Xie Zhou stood calmly to the side. Although the situation involved him, this was merely rubbing salt into a boil.
It's something you'll choose sooner or later; there's no need to pick an auspicious day.
Since his wife is the Crown Princess, she certainly doesn't need to care about others. She still needs to carefully consider what to say.
Some things require careful consideration, while others are not open to negotiation.
Otherwise, what would the King of Song be doing here?
He was only looking at the Crown Princess. He was satisfied with her performance!
Huan Yue finished the ceremony.
The current ruler has ordered her to stand beside Erlang.
"Fourth sister." Pei Huanying was eager to impress, acting coy and innocent.
Huan Yue glanced at her and thought that the lady's attire was nowhere near as good as that of the Crown Princess, and she even looked a bit disheveled.
The Crown Prince was standing. The King of Qi and Lady Pei were kneeling to one side.
Even so, Pei Huanying still had to speak.
Huan Yue saw the imperial physicians and asked, "How is it?"
One of the imperial physicians was so excited that he knelt down and shouted, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
A group of people shouted in unison, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
An old man angrily berated Huan Yue: "You actually don't like it at all?"
Huan Yue was not in a hurry at all, and asked the King of Wu, "Uncle, can you rest assured now? Those brats won't cause you any trouble anymore?"
King Wu suddenly felt like cursing!
Huan Yue asked the Crown Prince of Wu, the Prince of Huayuan, and the Prince of Yongning, "Shouldn't you accept your fate? Don't let your grandfather's coffin lid give way and he crawl out of the imperial tomb."
Prince Yongning felt a chill run down his spine. Don't come any closer!
Huan Yue insisted on going over and patted him on the shoulder.
Prince Yongning was too weak to lift a finger, so how could he withstand her patting? He immediately knelt down.
The old man jumped up and down.
Huan Yue kicked the old man, sending him sprawling to the ground with his head facing the King of Qi.
Huan Yue explained to the Prince of Dai, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"
He didn't believe the king when he withdrew.
Whether you believe it or not, Huan Yue returned to the Crown Prince's side and slowly said to the Emperor, "I'm thinking, will the Prince of Qi still get married? Will Lady Pei become his secondary wife? Or should she be made a concubine?"
We need to seriously consider this now.
King Song thought Qing'e was wonderful: "They are indeed sisters."
Huan Yue declared to the King of Song: "I have long said that whether you are a prince, a brother, or a nephew, you all share the same ancestor. Ancestors always hope for family harmony and brotherly love; but descendants will never listen and will always fight to the death. In the end, it is the common people who suffer. When the dynasty falls, I wonder if our ancestors ever had peace of mind?"
King Song sighed, "When we offer sacrifices to our ancestors on the Winter Solstice, I must apologize to them."
Huan Yue said, "A wise person does not need to blame himself for the mistakes of others. Whoever is at fault should take responsibility."
The issue everyone needs to consider now is Pei Huanying's position.
Pei Huanying was so excited that she clung to Prince Qi and acted coquettishly.
King Qi's face was about to break down.
Huan Yue said, "Didn't Lady Shuyuan think highly of Madam Pei before?"
Standing to the side, Lady Dong still hoped for a smooth reinstatement. Right now, she just wanted to rush over and tear Huan Yue apart!
Huan Yue stood ready and waited for her!
Having received the instruction, Pei Huanying called out sweetly, "Your Highness, Lady Shuyuan."
Mrs. Dong was furious! Who would be the lady of the house?
Compared to Kong Zhenjun, Dong Shi also disliked Pei Huanying; only Pei Huanfeng could earn her a degree of affection.
This time, Pei Huanying was sacrificed to save Pei Huanfeng.
King Shen watched the farce silently, seeing how shrewd Qing'e was, striking straight at the heart of the enemy!
Pei Huanying is now pregnant with the holy child, and she is clutching her stomach.
However, a group of people were terrified by Qing'e, even though she was a refined and dignified woman.
Xie Zhou wanted to laugh; his wife was amazing!
The old man wasn't afraid; he got up and shouted, "The Pei family is rebellious!"
Today, he has no expression.
A group of people began attacking the Crown Princess, while also praising Prince Qi and his wife.
This shrewd move left Wei Zhi speechless; there was no need for it.
Wei Zhi reserved his abilities for the imperial court, rather than resorting to vulgar language like a shrew. When the emperor needed to deal with someone, he would decisively draw his sword.
Wei Zhi's job wasn't just to satirize the emperor; he was busy with other things. If this matter hadn't become so big and absurd, he wouldn't have come.
Wei Zhi looked at the Crown Princess; he couldn't afford to offend her. She was so calm and collected, even more composed than the old Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world).
After all, with a group of people jumping around, they didn't dare to spit on Huan Yue's face.
Besides, with a sage present, what does Huan Yue have to fear? The sage seed, that's right, the sage himself; she's just using it as an excuse.
The Prince of Dai excitedly kowtowed to the Emperor.
A group of people kowtowing.
There's no rush at all right now.
Pei Huanying said urgently, "Everyone, you don't need to say that about my fourth sister. She used to be a good person."
Xie Zhou said, "Ever since Qing'e hit her head, she hasn't been working very well."
Prince Shen asked, "Did Lady Pei make her move on Qing'e back then, intending to replace her?"
Pei Huanying screamed anxiously, "I didn't!"
Prince Shen was blunt: "It's only been a little over half a year. Even though the Pei family has fallen apart, many people still know about this. Does Madam Pei deny pushing Qing'e, or does she deny wanting to replace her?"
Pei Huanying shouted, "I didn't push her!"
The old man asked, "Does King Shen intend to force a confession through torture?"
Prince Shen sneered: "There are so many witnesses, there's no need for her to confess. Just look at her disrespect towards the Crown Princess."
The King of Song said, "The rules in the Qi King's palace are not strict."
Lady Dong hurriedly shouted, "What does this have to do with the Prince of Qi? Isn't it because Qing'e is too rebellious?"
She dared to hit the Empress on her very first day in the palace; this Crown Princess should have been deposed long ago!
Huan Yue has done too many good deeds to list. Every single one of them is a victim.
He hasn't spoken yet.
The eunuch came in, carrying three bowls of medicine on a tray.
Only then did he speak: "Force it down her throat."
The eunuch was very skilled; he grabbed Pei Huanying and forced her to drink the medicine.
Everyone else was stunned!
Huan Yue was also dumbfounded! The sage is truly brilliant! Since this child definitely cannot be born, then let's deal with it now.
Even if the sage personally intervenes, there's nothing anyone can do, not even if he orders the King of Qi to commit suicide.
King Qi broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if the dark medicine was a stark warning to him.
Mrs. Dong went mad and lunged at him.
Huan Yue grabbed her hair and forced her to kneel down.
A large group of people knelt down, wanting to curse the tyrannical emperor but unable to bring themselves to do so.
The current emperor is too terrifying. This tactic is clearly going to fail. Everyone should think about how to clean up the mess. Someone is bound to be in trouble.
At this point, is it better to stick together or risk the lives of our fellow practitioners? The key point is that sticking together can't determine the overall situation.
The impact of forming alliances is significant, but the emperor can defeat them by paying a price.
Pei Huanying was given the medicine, and although she wanted to vomit, she couldn't and cried.
She was genuinely crying. She felt weak and helpless, and that even the King of Qi couldn't protect her, which is why she wanted to do this.
Pei Huanying stared at Huan Yue, filled with intense jealousy! Especially the Crown Prince's protection of her.
