Time travel, Your Highness Ninth Prince has been rejected from marriage again!

The Hall of Mental Cultivation, on the dragon bed.

After Concubine Shu left, Emperor Yan took great effort to spit out the pill in his mouth.

His body was covered in sweat, as if he had just been washed. He lay on the golden dragon bed in a disheveled state, staring viciously in the direction where Concubine Shu had left with a sinister look.

When the room became completely quiet, he slowly lay back down.

If nothing unexpected happens, the entire palace has already been controlled by Yan Siyuan. Even if more court officials were to place spies in the palace, he would not be afraid of anything.

The information they passed on was most likely false. And now, he didn't even have the strength to resist, and there was no one around him who could be used.

He raised his hand to check his own pulse, his brows gradually furrowed. In just a few days, seven or eight more poisons appeared in his body.

With a cold sneer, it seems that there are a lot of people who want him dead. He was just mentally unstable, vomiting blood and fainting, but so many people took action against him. He really can't keep his cool.

As he was thinking, Emperor Yan opened a secret compartment under the dragon bed, took out a green pill, and swallowed it without hesitation. Then he sighed, lay on his back and closed his eyes.

The next day, the heavy rain gradually subsided and turned into a drizzle. The dark clouds were very low, and the depressed people felt breathless.

Emperor Yan had not attended court for several days in a row, and many officials had already become impatient.

No matter how they investigated, the only news they got was that Emperor Yan was recuperating and the people in the Imperial Hospital were keeping watch on him all the time.

No one except the imperial concubines had ever been inside to see her. Even the Queen Mother had never visited her, and those ministers who wanted to visit her were turned away.

Due to the orders from the Queen Mother and the Empress, even Yan Siyuan and Yan Qinao were unable to go in to check.

After receiving this news, those people became even more panicked and asked Yan Siyuan to take charge of the court. Soon they received the news they wanted and quickly went to the palace one by one.

Soon, all the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony arrived, even Shen Li, who was temporarily dismissed from his official post. Everyone had different thoughts and the hall was extremely quiet for a while.

Until I heard An Shi singing "The Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince are here——".

The sound was sharp and piercing, and soon everyone's eyes were drawn to the door.

Yan Siyuan walked in front, without waiting for Yan Qinao who was pushing his wheelchair behind him. The two of them came in one after the other, which was a rare sight.

Yan Siyuan never liked to attend the morning court, and he would not show up unless it was something important. And Yan Qinao basically never came, and he would not come unless Emperor Yan asked him to.

Today, the two of them came together, which was really strange.

Everyone was full of doubts, but they could only keep them to themselves and kneel down to pay their respects.

"Greetings to the Fourth Prince, the Ninth Prince, may Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Yan Siyuan walked to the front without looking around, and An Shi followed him with quick steps.

When he turned around and saw Yan Qinao slowly pushing the wheelchair towards him, he made a disdainful sound.

The sound was extremely obvious in the quiet environment. Yan Qinao certainly heard it, but he could only smile helplessly and speed up his men.

When he got to Yan Siyuan's side, Yan Siyuan glanced at An Shi.

An Shi reacted quickly, took out the imperial edict, and said in a pinched voice: "The Empress Dowager's edict."

Before everyone stood up, they immediately changed the direction they were kneeling and knelt down towards where An Shi was standing.

"We, your servants, will obey your orders."

"The Empress Dowager, by the order of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Your Majesty is in poor health and unable to attend court. I am deeply saddened.

Although state affairs are important, your majesty's health comes first. I am also very pleased to know that the fourth prince is extremely intelligent, quick-witted, and sympathetic to the people.

I now order the Fourth Prince to take charge of the court. I hope all the ministers will work together to assist the Fourth Prince in taking charge of the court and live up to your majesty’s kindness. I decree this.”

After An Shi finished reading the imperial edict, the hall fell into silence.

To put it bluntly, anyone can sit in this position now, except Yan Qinao.

If for no other reason, it was because he was disabled and his wife was Princess Qiming.

Yan Siyuan swept his cold eyes over the heads of the crowd, sneered, then knelt down on one knee, lowered his eyes slightly, and clasped his hands together.

"Your son, accept my order."

wow——

Everyone in the hall moved in unison, raised their heads instantly, and looked in the direction of Yan Siyuan in disbelief.

They thought that Yan Siyuan was the most unconvinced person present, but they didn't expect that he would be the first to compromise.

With the first, there is the second.

Qing Rongxu knelt respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I will obey the Empress Dowager's order."

Next came Shen Li, Chu Xionghui, Gu Mingrui, and then the supporters of the Prime Minister's Office, all of whom compromised.

"Your servants will faithfully follow the Empress Dowager's orders."

The scene became quiet again. Qing Rongxu slapped Meng Xunji who was standing beside him, and the look in his eyes almost said "why don't you agree?" on his face.

Meng Xunji glared at him and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I will obey the Queen Mother's order."

Then the people from the Duke's Mansion also expressed their opinions.

The only ones left were the neutrals, but the two largest factions had already compromised. It was useless for them to continue to resist, so they had no choice but to admit defeat.

After everyone received the order, Yan Qinao stood up slowly amid everyone's shocked gazes, then knelt down to receive the order.

"I, as your son, will live up to the Empress Dowager's trust and my father's high expectations and manage the court well."

An Shi's forehead was already soaked with sweat, and his hand holding the imperial edict was shaking. He barely managed to steady himself and slowly put the imperial edict in his hand into Yan Qinao's hand.

To be honest, the moment Yan Qinao stood up, his eyes almost popped out. He finally understood why the Queen Mother had issued this decree.

Yan Qinao stood up with the imperial edict in his hand and walked steadily towards the dragon throne.

Perhaps because I was used to seeing him sitting, now that he stood up, I felt that his figure was so tall.

With a broad back and long legs, he walked towards that location step by step.

Some generals who had followed him in the past suddenly had red eyes. The person in front of them gradually overlapped with the figure who was high-spirited in the army back then, and was even taller and more majestic than he used to be.

The moment Yan Qinao sat in that position, everyone's heart felt like it was hit hard, and they didn't know what expression to make on their faces.

"My fellow ministers, please stand up. My father has so much trust in me that I will do my best."

The minister stood up slowly and almost fell down because he couldn't stand firmly.

Yan Siyuan had already stood up and stepped aside. He was just here to serve as a foil today. Finally, he returned the position to Yan Qinao, and he felt a lot more relieved.

He didn't stay long before he went to the Cining Palace. He looked at Qingyun arranging flowers with tenderness in his eyes.

"What's the situation?" Qingyun asked when Yan Siyuan came over.

"Very good, they haven't reacted yet," Yan Siyuan picked up a poppy and stuck it on Qingyun's head.
