The ministers were all afraid that the regent would tear Princess apart.
Then they watched as their esteemed regent picked up the little princess.
"Mother, Mother."
Murong Jin looked at the girl and said, "You have no manners."
Nan Fengyi also ran over and grabbed Murong Jin's sleeve.
Then Murong Jin reached out and patted his head, her gaze falling on the man standing in the seat of honor.
"What, you're not welcome?"
Di Junlan's face looked like he was about to cry. Then he rushed over and stood in front of Murong Jin, reaching out his hand but not daring to.
"Ah Jin, you're back."
"You've come to see me."
"You didn't lie to me."
Jin Shisan was still wearing eunuch clothes and stood not far away, being held still by Ming Qingxuan and the others.
Jin Shisan: "..."
Murong Jin, holding the little girl and leading her son by the hand, turned around. The man in black standing next to her stood up and removed his mask.
"master."
Li Mingzhong: "???" (Also one?)
Everything was going according to Murong Jin's plan.
Murong Jin: "The Triangle Area has become part of Da Cheng's territory. Don't forget to treat the people there well."
"As for the Kingdom of Weiman," Murong Jin looked at the princess, "we've already sent people to raze it to the ground. Your Majesty can just sit back and wait to reap the benefits."
"Li Mingzhong."
Conditioned response: "Your subject is here."
“Akanin was one of the princes who were exiled back then. I believe none of you will forget Di Ningxuan.”
Then he looked at the person opposite him, "Ming Qingxuan."
"Your subject is present."
Murong Jin: "Severe torture to extract confessions."
In the silence, Murong Jin looked at Di Junlan in front of her and smiled at him.
"Your Majesty, I will take my son and daughter with me now."
Looking at that retreating figure, the others didn't think of anything else but, "Your Majesty, hurry and catch up!"
Di Junlan was somewhat timid, but Murong Jin stopped the moment he stepped out of the hall, his tone cold, "By the way, I will officially return in three days."
Then the atmosphere turned dark and gloomy. "Those who disobey orders shall be executed."
It was very bright in the night.
Tears streamed down Li Mingzhong's face. Some of the others were bewildered, some were excited, and some hadn't even reacted yet...
Overnight, the news that the regent had been resurrected and that he had recovered the southern and northern borders as well as the triangle region shocked the entire capital.
The next morning, in the Golden Palace.
"I have a question..."
"I also have..."
The Prince of Zhenbei arrived late. "Oh, what are you doing?"
Then Li Mingzhong grabbed him and asked, "I'm asking you, what exactly is going on with the Regent?"
"Isn't he a man? How can he have a child? And His Majesty's child?"
Murong Zhi looked at the neat rows of heads opposite him. "What? You all want to know?"
A row of heads nodded in agreement. Murong Zhi feigned profundity, "This matter... it's a long story..."
Move the chair over and serve tea and water.
Murong Zhi chuckled inwardly; they were a bunch of opportunists.
"You should ask His Majesty."
Emperor Junlan looked at them and said, "Prime Minister, arrange for the heads of the three provinces to bestow a marriage upon the Regent."
Li Mingzhong nearly tripped and fell flat on his face. "Huh? A... a marriage decree?"
"Zhao Delin, write down my imperial edict."
So, as all the ministers stared in disbelief, they heard their emperor announce, "Bestow a marriage upon the Regent's Consort of Murong Jin, who will become the current Emperor, Di Junlan..."
An Kesen was stunned. "Your Majesty, are you... going to marry into the Regent's household???"
Emperor Junlan: "Prince Zhenbei, it's time to reveal the imperial edict the late emperor gave you. What exactly did it say?"
The Prince of Zhenbei chuckled, "Your Majesty is certainly well-informed."
He then added, "This matter also requires the witness of the Imperial Advisor, who was also present at the time."
So Ankersen sent someone to the astrology pavilion to invite the imperial advisor over.
The bewildered imperial advisor was carried over. "Wait, you can attend court all you want, why did you bring me here?"
The moment I was put down, my head was spinning. I barely managed to stand up when Murong Zhi grabbed me and pulled me over.
"Murong Zhi!!! What are you doing!!!"
"What are you doing? Come here and repeat what the late emperor told us before he passed away."
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Advisor exclaimed, "Oh, is that so?"
Then, with a thoughtful expression, he coughed and said in a serious tone, "I, following the edict of the Retired Emperor, have also issued an edict that no one may inquire about anything concerning Murong Jin, including his identity..."
"With the joint imperial edict of three generations of emperors, Murong Jin's status as regent will never change as long as the Great Cheng Dynasty exists."
"Prince Zhenbei, if anything changes in the future, don't forget to make sure that Xiao Jin leaves an heir for me."
The Imperial Advisor coughed. "Well, how should I put it? The Regent was destined for the throne, but after His Majesty appeared, the Regent relinquished the position..."
The others were shocked. The Imperial Star? The Regent? Giving up?
They all looked at their emperor, so it was indeed the regent who gave him his position.
"However, the Regent was later seriously injured and faked his death for a month. No one knew that she was actually still alive, so we buried her..."
Everyone: "???!!!"
"Don't you have any conscience? When the Regent woke up, there was absolutely no air for her to breathe..."
Murong Zhi: "..." I've already overdone it.
After being slapped on the head, the Grand Preceptor became serious. "In short, as I said before, the Regent's identity is not something we can doubt. As I mentioned last time, both the Imperial Star and the Phoenix Star are actually the Regent."
