Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

After Li Ji took out the will, all the people present were shocked.

The most shocked one was naturally Li Qiong.

He never thought that his father was not the orthodox heir.

He didn't want to believe it was true.

Princess Ningyang passed the edict to the left and right prime ministers, as well as several other respected royal family members.

Whether it is a signature or a seal, it is true.

No one questioned it.

It was not until the end that the will was sent to the Queen Mother.

Princess Ningyang saw the Queen Mother's thoughts and calmly reminded her.

"If you dare to damage the will, we can now charge you with contempt of imperial power.

Even if you are the queen mother, you can't afford this crime.

Taking a step back, even if you insist on destroying the will even if you are not afraid of death, it is useless.

Anyway, we have all read the will, and we all remember the contents clearly. "

The Empress Dowager's fingers were trembling as she pinched the will.

She really wanted to tear up this damned edict, but the words of Princess Ningyang overshadowed her thoughts.

Now that the matter has come to this point, what is the use of destroying the will under the watchful eyes of everyone?

The queen mother asked bitterly: "The Ai family has never seen this will, where did you get it?"

Li Ji didn't want to waste too much time here, so he said directly.

"You don't need to know where the will came from. You just need to know that your son is not the orthodox heir to the throne. The country of the Great Zhou was snatched by your mother and son by all means."

Speaking of this, Li Ji glanced at Li Qiong beside him, and added a few words lightly.

"You and your father are nothing but thieves."

Li Qiong was also wearing a luxurious crown dress representing the identity of the emperor.

This was originally a symbol of status and power, but now it has become an ironclad proof that he is a descendant of a thief.

His face was as white as paper. I feel extremely embarrassed.

The Empress Dowager pinched the edict until it was out of shape, and said through gritted teeth.

"You yourself are a traitor, what right do you have to speak nonsense here?!"

Li Ji said slowly: "My biological father is Prince Li Shu, and my grandmother is Empress Ji. As their offspring, I seek justice for them. How can I become a traitor?"

Every word he said was like a thunderbolt, constantly exploding in everyone's ears.

Everyone present was stunned in place.

The first person to come to his senses was Li Qiong.

He couldn't believe it and blurted out: "Impossible! You are obviously the father and Princess Rouwan..."

Li Ji interrupted him with an extremely cold voice.

"Princess Rouwan and Duke Zhen are not my biological parents. The prince Li Shu was framed by traitors and was forced to flee with the concubine who was pregnant with Liujia. The concubine gave birth to a son on the way and took the son Entrusted to Duke Zhen, Duke Zhen raised the prince’s son as his own to avoid arousing suspicion.”

Princess Ningyang's heart tightened when she heard this.

Her Royal Highness, who had been calm just now, couldn't help but her eyes were red.

She asked tremblingly, "What about the soft child?"

Li Ji lowered his eyes: "He died when he was just born, Princess Rouwan didn't know about this."

Princess Ningyang felt extremely uncomfortable.

She turned her head away and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

The queen mother is still dying: "These are just your one-sided words. The Duke of Zhen died long ago, and there is no proof of his death. Who knows whether what you said is true or not?"

Everyone else present had the same idea.

This matter is related to the emperor's heir, and we must not jump to conclusions based on just a few words.

Only Li Qiong knew in his heart that the general situation was over and there was no way to turn it back.

A look of ashes appeared on his face.

Li Ji seemed to have been waiting for the Queen Mother to raise this question.

He smiled lightly, and once again threw a huge thunder.

"Duke Zhen was not actually killed in battle, he has been hiding his name and living quietly among the people all these years.

He didn't meet me again until recently.

The imperial edict held by the Queen Mother was handed over to me by Lord Zhen Guo himself.

If you don't believe it, you can open the city gate, and the others are among the Xuanjia Army. "

Princess Ningyang was overjoyed: "Is this really true? Is Zhen Guogong still alive?"

Li Ji nodded, indicating that what he said was true.

Princess Ningyang laughed and cried at the same time.

Her daughter misses her deceased husband and becomes ill. She has suffered a lot these years. Now that Lord Zhen Guo is back, her daughter no longer has to endure the pain of lovesickness. The husband and wife can finally reunite.

The queen mother was still struggling: "You must be deceiving! The purpose is to trick us into opening the city gate and letting the rebels enter the city. Don't you want us to be fooled!"

Princess Ningyang said immediately.

"I can go up to the gate of the city to meet Lord Zhen Guo, and everyone can also go to witness together. Whether it is true or false will be known immediately."

The royal clan and ministers all said it was fine.

They all want to see with their own eyes whether Zhen Guogong is really alive? '

Only the Queen Mother is unwilling.

"The Ai family will not be fooled, the Ai family will not leave the palace one step!"

She crumpled the edict into a ball, and shouted at Habayashi Wei and Ye Xiaowei at the top of her lungs.

"What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and kill this traitor?!"

Both Habayashi Wei and Ye Xiaowei looked at each other, but neither made a move.

Things have progressed to this point, and everyone is already very clear in their hearts, whether it is morality or strength, the regent has the upper hand.

He is the orthodox heir to the throne, and he has a large army in his hands. The time, place and people are in harmony, so he has the advantage.

At this point no one wanted to openly antagonize the Prince Regent.

The queen mother yelled several times, but no one answered her.

She waved away Mammy's hand, and rushed to snatch the knife from Habayashi Wei's hand.

"You don't want to do it, right? Then let Aijia come in person!"

The Habayashi guard was terrified, and hurriedly held down the handle of the knife tightly to prevent the queen mother from snatching the knife away.

The maids and eunuchs hurriedly gathered around, hurriedly pulled the queen mother away, and advised her to calm down, don't be impulsive.

After such a toss, the queen mother was exhausted.

She looked around, her eyes flicking over the faces of those people one by one.

Those people all lowered their heads, avoiding her sight, not daring to look at her.

Finally, she looked at Li Qiong on the steps.

Li Qiong had completely given up struggling at this time, and her whole body was full of despondency.

So far, the overall situation has been settled.

The last bit of sanity left was finally shattered.

The queen mother swayed and fell on the maid.

She cried and cursed.

"You all bully the Ai family! If the son of the Ai family is still alive, all of you rebellious officials and thieves will die!"

Princess Ningyang taunted: "Isn't the biggest traitor in the world, your good son who is dead?"

The queen mother seemed to be unable to hear these words, completely immersed in her own world, crying and crying, scolded Li Ji and the old emperor, and then scolded the prince Li Shu, Queen Ji, and Princess Ningyang. over and over.

In the end, even Li Qiong was scolded.

"You useless thing, your father handed over the country to you, and you can't even keep the throne, waste!"
