The Queen Mother and the eldest princess have never been so looking forward to seeing Xu Shihuan as they are now. They didn't have time to think about how Xu Shihuan brought people in. They just wanted her to quickly capture Li Yunfeng and the prince.

In terms of skill, none of the people present could compare to Xu Shihuan. After a few moves with Li Yunfeng, she put her sword to Li Yunfeng's throat.

Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Without Li Yunfeng as the leader, his men immediately lost their fighting spirit. They only waited for Li Yunfeng's order to put down their weapons and wait obediently to surrender.

Seeing this situation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quickly pretended to have escaped from death, rushed to the side of Queen Mother Shen, and while untying her, explained:

"Royal Grandmother, thank you for the blessing of my father in heaven for letting Mr. Xu come here. Otherwise, I am afraid that my grandson will die in the hands of that Li Yunfeng. Last night, he used a trick to trick me out of the palace. I am really I had no choice but to pretend to agree to stand by him."

Li Yunfeng did not refute the words of His Highness the Crown Prince. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, thinking that everyone in this room was a fool, but no one guessed that Xu Shihuan was the truly ambitious one.

"Come here! Take the crown prince and the second prince to the prison to await interrogation."

At this time, the Queen Mother, the eldest princess and Wen Yidi were all released from their hands and feet. The cloth stuffed in the eldest princess's mouth was also removed, and she could finally speak normally. Seeing Xu Shihuan ordering the people under his command in an orderly manner, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess felt a lot more at ease.

Seeing Xu Shihuan snatching back the late emperor's edict from Li Yunfeng, the eldest princess immediately said:

"This late emperor's edict must be read out quickly."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shihuan raised his eyebrows and turned his head to see Wen Yidi's reaction. Wen Yidi hurried over, stood between Xu Shihuan and the eldest princess, and said:

"This matter is not urgent. Let's take care of this first."

"But she is a woman..."

The eldest princess wanted to say something else, but the Queen Mother grabbed her sleeve and whispered:

"Jiayi, there are so many people here, don't let them think that you can be the master of Yunshen."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiayi realized that the imperial brother was gone and Wen Yidi was about to succeed. She could no longer treat Wen Yidi as a child who had to listen to her arrangements in everything.

While Xu Shihuan was busy, the Queen Mother quietly called the eldest princess and Wen Yidi into the inner hall, found a suitable place to talk, and then said:

"Yun Shen, it will be dawn next morning. When all the civil and military officials go to court, it is the best time to read out the late emperor's edict. When the late emperor's tomb is placed, you should hurry up and hold the enthronement ceremony."

"Although the crown prince and the second prince have been arrested, there is no guarantee that they still have accomplices hanging around outside. The sooner you ascend the throne, the sooner the Ai family will be at ease."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the eldest princess continued:

"And Xu Shihuan, it is indeed a great achievement to come to escort you today, but some of her actions are really inappropriate. Looking at her like this, I really don't trust her to be your queen."

"In my opinion, it's not too late to postpone the date of the Queen's Confession Ceremony, observe her performance, and make a decision. According to the rules of our ancestors, a woman from a family like her can only sit as a noble concubine at most. s position."

Wen Yidi originally wanted to have a serious talk with the Queen Mother and the eldest princess about Xu Shihuan, but he didn't expect the eldest princess to be more anxious than him. As soon as the late emperor passed away, she mentioned Xu Shihuan.

Not to mention letting Xu Shihuan continue to serve in the Ministry of Justice, the eldest princess even had other ideas for the position of queen. Wen Yidi felt that he was a joke when he thought that he had mentioned to Xu Shihuan before that he wanted to give him a chance to see the attitude of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess.

With the idea of ​​​​a last ditch effort, Wen Yidi insisted on speaking:

"Royal grandmother, mother, let me tell you the truth, my queen can only be Xu Shihuan, and it cannot be anyone else. Not only that, I also want her to continue serving in the Ministry of Punishment."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's face instantly sank, and she asked in a cold tone:

"Yunshen, do you know how ridiculous what you are saying now is? I can understand that you want her to be the queen, but it is absolutely not okay to let her continue to serve in the Ministry of Justice."

"This queen is in charge of all the affairs of the harem. If you indulge her so much, how will the people in the harem view you as the emperor? If the harem is in chaos, how can you sit on the throne safely?"

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Wen Yidi felt extremely disappointed. Obviously, neither the imperial grandmother nor the mother really considered their opinions. All they wanted was an ideal and suitable emperor.

"Emperor Grandma, from beginning to end, I have never thought about having a harem. Xu Shihuan is enough for me. After I ascend the throne, if I can't even make the decision about my own queen, then I will not be the emperor. Just do it!”

Wen Yidi's words came from the bottom of his heart, but the Queen Mother and the eldest princess obviously did not take his words seriously and only thought that he was making trouble unreasonably.

"Yun Shen! Don't forget, you are not the emperor yet. Besides, even if you become the emperor, the Ai family will still be your imperial grandmother, and my daughter will still be your mother!"

"The rules left by our ancestors cannot be broken! What you just said, the Ai family will think that you are frightened and talking nonsense. When you succeed to the throne, we should prepare for the draft."

The Queen Mother was talking to herself, not paying any attention to Wen Yidi's increasingly serious expression. The eldest princess on the side saw something was wrong and gently touched the Queen Mother's body.

"Okay, the Ai family knows that you don't like to hear it, so they won't say more. Let's go and see how Xu Shihuan handles the matter."

The three people walked out, and the messy ground just now was cleaned up. Even many people outside the palace had evacuated.

Seeing Wen Yidi's unhappy expression, Xu Shihuan immediately understood something. She handed the late emperor's edict into Wen Yidi's hands and took the initiative to say:

"Take this, it's not appropriate for me to put it here."

Before Wen Yidi could speak, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess spoke first:

"That's right, this man has what a man should do, and a woman has what a woman should do."

"Shihuan, you are tired after working for so long. Go and rest quickly. Just let Yun Shen handle the rest."

Xu Shihuan smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to speak, but quietly watched Wen Yidi's reaction. Seeing Wen Yidi walking silently behind her, Xu Shihuan knew that he had made up his mind.

"Come here! Send the Queen Mother and the eldest princess to Shoukang Palace to rest! No one is allowed to leave Shoukang Palace without my order!"

The sudden change caught the Queen Mother and the eldest princess by surprise. Realizing that Xu Shihuan was not joking, the Queen Mother quickly said sharply:

"How presumptuous! The Ai family is the Queen Mother of the current dynasty. Are you going to rebel?"
