The powerful villain: Start by stealing Ye Fan’s fiancée!

The body of the Supreme Being is placed in the coffin, and then comes the funeral arrangements, a state funeral, and the determination of the successor to the Supreme Being.

Chu Chen arranged the defense of the Yulin Guards. After saying goodbye to King Heping Xi, he took King Jiangnan to his villa to stay.

Originally, the royal family had arrangements. When King Jiangnan and King Pingxi came to Yanjing, there would definitely be a high-standard reception.

However, King Jiangnan decided to live in Chu Chen's other courtyard for convenience.

When they arrived at the other courtyard, Jiangnan Wang Ping retreated and chatted with Chu Chen for a while, mainly discussing the next issue of the prince's fight for the throne.

Now Chu Chen's attitude is very clear, supporting His Highness Ye Lixue.

King Jiangnan also agreed with Chu Chen and said, "Next, the funeral of the Supreme Being will probably involve a lot of things."

"Now the princes are vying for the candidate to be the chairman of the funeral committee."

Chu Chen said.

King Jiangnan said: "Presiding over the funeral committee will greatly benefit the subsequent battle for the throne. Every prince will fight for it."

"The eldest prince and the second prince are both popular candidates now."

Chu Chen said immediately.

King Jiangnan nodded and asked: "By the way, did the Supreme Lord leave any edict before his death?"

Chu Chen said: "I haven't heard that the Supreme Being was found to be seriously ill this time. It was only a few days before his death. It seems that the incident happened suddenly and he had not yet made a will."

King Jiangnan said: "Whether there is a posthumous edict is very important. You have to find a way to confirm it. If it is, it is one thing, and if it is not, it is another matter. The methods and means of handling it are different."

Chu Chen nodded and said: "I understand, grandpa, it's getting late. You're tired from traveling, why don't you go and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

King Jiangnan nodded.

Chu Chen immediately asked Wu Da to arrange for King Jiangnan to rest.

After arranging for King Jiangnan to rest, Chu Chen immediately called the second prince Ye Lixue.

I want to inquire about the imperial edict.

"Hey, Your Highness, I have something very important to confirm with you."

Chu Chen said as soon as the phone call came through.

Ye Lixue heard that Chu Chen said it was a "very important" matter, and immediately said seriously: "What is it?"

"Legal edict. Before the Supreme Lord dies, he can leave a will to designate who will succeed him."

"Posthumous edict? I haven't heard much about it. The Supreme's illness came suddenly, and maybe he hasn't thought about it yet. I'm not sure about the details. I have to ask Commander Ye. Commander Ye was the closest to the Supreme when he was alive."

"Okay, I'll check with Commander Ye to confirm."

Chu Chen immediately hung up the phone.

Thinking that this matter was extremely important, he returned directly to the palace.

Ye Feng is the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards. In today's situation, the busiest person is no exception. He must be him. At this time, he is still responsible for guarding the Dragon Palace.

When Chu Chen saw Ye Feng, he immediately walked up.

Ye Feng saw Chu Chen approaching and immediately asked: "Commander Chu, something is wrong."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Commander Ye, I have something to ask you. I'd like to lend you a moment to speak."

Ye Feng realized that something might be wrong with Chu Chen. He looked around and nodded immediately.

The two of them walked to a corner outside the Yanglong Hall.

Chu Chen asked in a low voice: "The Supreme One passed away suddenly. Does Commander Ye know if the Supreme One left any edict?"

When Ye Feng heard Chu Chen's words, he immediately raised his eyes and looked at Chu Chen.

He didn't speak either.

Just stared at Chu Chen.

The matter of the imperial edict is too crucial.

No one can easily interfere.

And, this is absolutely confidential.

Seeing that Ye Feng had not spoken for a long time, Chu Chen felt a little serious and said, "Did you make a will?"

Ye Feng said: "Commander Chu, this is an internal matter of the royal family. Do you know that you have crossed the line?"

Chu Chen said: "Commander Ye, the imperial edict is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty. I hope Commander Ye can be honest with me."

Ye Feng frowned.

Consider Chu Chen's words.

Now the princes are about to seize the throne, and the Tyrant King is eyeing them.

The only person he can rely on is Chu Chen.

But the matter of the edict is too important.

According to his duties, he must not disclose it.

However, now we have to rely on Chu Chen.

Ye Feng couldn't make this decision.

Moreover, telling Chu Chen about the imperial edict might have some impact.

"Commander Ye, you should know the current situation in Yanjing. Hesitation will only have serious consequences."

Chu Chen continued.

Ye Feng said: "Let me think about it again."

Chu Chen nodded.

He immediately stepped aside and waited for Ye Feng.

The edict is indeed crucial.

If the Supreme Emperor indeed made a will, then according to the regulations of the Tang State, as long as it is announced next, the designated candidate will be the legal heir.

No matter how hard the princes tried before, it was useless unless they openly disobeyed.

If the Supreme Being really made a will, and the person named in the will was not the second prince.

That would be a very bad situation.

……

At this time, Ye Tianba had returned to Batian Palace.

Sitting in his wheelchair, he also thought about this problem and said, "Does the palace have any information? Do you know whether the Supreme Being made a will before his death?"

Ye Fan frowned and said: "Father, the death of the Supreme Being was too sudden. Is it too late?"

Wang Tiance said: "I haven't received any information here. I really haven't heard about it."

Ye Tianba had not heard that the Supreme Lord had issued a will.

After all, there was no problem with the Supreme's body before. Under normal circumstances, the Supreme can still sit in that position for at least another ten years.

But Ye Tianba was still worried. He gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately go all out to collect information. We must determine whether the Supreme Being made a will during his lifetime. If so, we must determine who it was. Only by knowing accurate information can we do what we do." Take appropriate countermeasures.”

Wang Tiance immediately accepted the order, picked up his mobile phone, and sent a text message to convey: "Urgent mission, focus of the mission, find out whether the Supreme Being has made a will. If so, it is necessary to confirm who the person designated in the will is."

The spies installed by the Tyrant Palace in the palace received the order and immediately began to investigate.

Ye Tianba immediately took a deep breath.

Unfortunately, I am not ready yet.

It's a pity that Chu Chen has mastered the Yulin Guard, otherwise, there would be no need for so many things.
