Wen Chenxuan, on the other hand, executed the King of Boyang and his family without authorization and directly threw them into prison, and moved them from their fiefdom to the capital.

Because the journey was long, King Boyang was taken away by them before he had time to bring medicine. This caused his illness to relapse halfway through the journey, and his physical condition was worrying.

In the second half of the night, the emperor still did not stay and died!

All the civil and military officials were heartbroken, and Wen Chenxuan spoke to everyone anxiously.

"My father has passed away. I think the funeral should be simple. After all, the emperor did not like red tape and extravagance when he was alive. We should follow his wishes and keep it simple and bury it quickly. The weather today also doesn't allow the body to be stored for too long. What do you think?"

His followers naturally agreed: "This is a good idea. The weather is hot and humid now. If it is left for a long time and smells, it will really offend Your Majesty. In addition, the emperor really liked to be frugal when he was alive. We should follow his wishes."

The others nodded in agreement. They were all Wen Chenxuan's men, so they naturally spoke in favor of Wen Chenxuan.

However, Wen Jingchi's followers could not help but sneer coldly.

"There must be something fishy going on with your Majesty. We should wait until Prince Boyang enters the palace before making any plans."

"If it wasn't Prince Boyang who did it, then someone else must have done something to the emperor. How could he have buried the emperor so hastily? That person must have had evil intentions."

The person they were talking about was none other than Wen Chenxuan, and they were almost about to say his name.

Wen Jingchi nodded and agreed: "You are right, let's wait until Prince Boyang enters the palace before making any plans."

Wen Chenxuan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick: "Wen Jingchi, what do you mean by this? Now that my father is dead, I can't rest in peace. Is this what you call filial piety? This prince thinks that he should be buried immediately."

"How can this be possible? Father can't be buried until the seventh day after his death. What are you so anxious about? Or are you afraid that something will be known?"

"Wen Jingchi, don't make a fuss here. Now that my father is gone, I am the future emperor. There is no reason for you to argue here. Since ancient times, after the emperor's death, the new emperor should decide where to go.

The emperor also said that after his death, we should not hold a grand ceremony to avoid extravagance, waste of money and manpower, and we have all heard this."

This time, Wen Jingchi's followers were speechless.

Now Wen Chenxuan is the future crown prince. Although they know what Wen Chenxuan has done, they have not found any evidence yet.

"Alright, it's settled. Father will be officially buried in three days."

Civil and military officials all knelt on the ground and began to cry bitterly.

Wen Jingchi's face looked quite ugly, but there was nothing he could do at the moment, so he could only wait for King Boyang to arrive.

Three days later, Wen Chenxuan buried the emperor without notifying Wen Jingchi's people.

When Wen Jingchi learned about it, the emperor had already been buried in the imperial mausoleum.

This matter came to an end, and Wen Chenxuan was excited. He ordered his men to start making a new dragon robe in preparation for his enthronement.

The other side.

When Chu Ranxin learned all this, she believed that she would definitely be able to sit on the throne of queen, so she immediately prepared gifts and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, many little girls ran over to curry her favor.

"So it's the Second Miss who's back. She's getting prettier and prettier. I guess the prince treats you very well."

Several little girls held her hands, chatting and laughing, treating her like a bodhisattva.

Chu Ranxin raised his head proudly, showing off like a big rooster.

"Needless to say, he has always been the best to me and I am his favorite. He will be the emperor soon, and I will be the queen by then..."

A smug smile appeared on the corner of her lips. As long as she gave birth to a prince soon, her position would be as solid as a rock.

At this moment, Lord Hou came out, and even Song followed.

Seeing her daughter so honored, Song was naturally excited: "My dear daughter, you are finally back. I missed you so much. How are you doing recently? Is the prince treating you well?"

Song held Chu Ranxin's hand and kept asking about his well-being.

The expression on the Marquis' face was neither funny nor sad. He didn't expect that Wen Chenxuan would win in the end. He really had miscalculated everything.

Although Wen Chenxuan was about to become the crown prince and his status would be improved, for some reason he couldn't laugh at all.

If a person like Wen Chenxuan sat on the throne, he would inevitably cause great suffering to the people due to his evil intentions, not to mention that he would not tolerate Wen Jingchi.

Wen Jingchi has a large number of troops at his disposal, which is enough for him to engage in a confrontation with Wen Chenxuan. It is still unknown who will win or lose between the two of them in the end.

So he was really afraid that all this was just a dream and in the end there would be nothing!

But there were some things he couldn't tell Chu Ranxin directly. This girl was very rash in doing things, and she didn't know what the overall situation was.

Song said a few words to Chu Ranxin, and then immediately turned her gaze to the Marquis' face.

Chu Ranxin then realized that her father seemed unhappy, and her face changed instantly.

This time, I could no longer hold back the anger in my heart.

After all, she was about to become the queen, so of course she couldn't be polite.

"Daddy, why are you unhappy? Don't you want me to be the queen? Or do you have high hopes for that bitch Chu Weiyue?"

"Daddy, wake up. Chu Weiyue can never be the queen. She can only be a princess in her life. If she makes me unhappy, I will put her in jail. From now on, I will be the queen, and I will only be able to take care of our family's reputation..."

When she said this, she put her hands on her waist, looking very graceful.

At this moment, grandma came out from inside, her face looked pale and ugly.

She had heard what Chu Ranxin said just now.

Chu Ranxin thought that her grandmother would always value her now, so she immediately ran over with a smile on her face.

"Grandma, are you in good health? I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."

Grandma glared at her coldly: "Are you missing me? Or do you want to come back and show off that you are going to be the queen?"

These words made Chu Ranxin speechless, and she naturally came back to show off more.

Her grandmother wasn't very nice to her usually, so she couldn't say she missed her at all.

She just wanted to let her see that Chu Weiyue, whom she had always doted on, could never be as good as herself.

"Grandma, what you said is a bit unpleasant to hear. I just miss you. The gifts I brought back this time are also to share the good news with you. Isn't it a good thing for me to become the queen? It will bring infinite glory to our family."

"Alright, stop saying these things. You are not the only concubine of the crown prince. How could he let you become the queen? Before everything is settled, you should stop saying some things. If you make a fool of yourself, it will be a great embarrassment."
