Seeing Wei Ming silent, Xie Feisi then took out some clues about the forged will, including samples of the forger's handwriting and some items related to the forged will.

Even the clerk who forged the will was brought up.

Each piece of evidence was like a bombshell, causing a huge storm in the court.

"Your Majesty, these evidences are sufficient to prove that the current edict was forged. The late emperor's true wish was to pass the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Not only that, in order to support the third prince to ascend to the throne, the Queen Mother forged a will and secretly murdered the royal heir and the Queen. Her crimes are too numerous to list.”

The ministers began to whisper, some expressed shock at the Queen Mother's behavior, while others were confused about the current situation.

Wei Ming sat on the dragon throne with mixed feelings.

He thought back to what had happened since he ascended the throne. Those who had once flattered him now became suspicious in his eyes.

He realized that he had been living in a huge conspiracy.

In the chaos, Wei Ming slowly stood up and said, "Duke Zhenguo, I need time to verify what you said. This matter is of great importance, and we cannot jump to conclusions based on just this."

He tried to stabilize the situation and buy himself time to think of a countermeasure.

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded and said in a deep voice: "Third Prince, I am willing to cooperate with the investigation. But the truth cannot be buried, and the wishes of the late emperor must be respected. I am willing to guarantee with my life that the evidence is absolutely true. But during this period of time, how about the Crown Prince acting as regent?"

Wei Ming was so angry that he felt dizzy, "How dare you! Duke Zhenguo, I am still the emperor!"

"Third Prince, the evidence is right in front of you, why don't you admit it?"

A female voice was heard outside the Golden Palace. Everyone was startled and their eyes turned towards the palace door.

I saw a woman in simple clothes, with a graceful figure but a bit of tenacity after going through hardships, walking slowly towards me. It was the queen who was supposed to have died.

That simple dress, without the luxury of a phoenix coronet and bridal robe, had a kind of etherealness that was pure and unworldly.

Standing next to the Queen was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had an upright posture and a solemn expression.

Their appearance was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, causing huge waves.

The death of the queen caused an uproar in the palace, but under the manipulation of the queen mother, the truth was covered up and the world just thought it was an accident.

Just after the national mourning, the queen came back to life and appeared in front of everyone again.

It's unbelievable!

Some of the people present looked shocked, as if they had seen a ghost; some had a trace of panic in their eyes, which was the fear before the conspiracy was exposed; and some were filled with surprise.

Xie Chenning and Wei Ke walked steadily forward under the gaze of everyone. Then they stopped and looked around, announcing her return to the palace.

She didn't say anything, but her aura made the entire court shrouded in an invisible pressure.

"Ning'er, you, you're not dead?"

Wei Ming was shocked. He thought Xie Chenning had died in the fire a month ago, but now she appeared in front of him again.

"I was able to escape this disaster thanks to the blessing of the late emperor. Are you disappointed or relieved, Third Prince?"

Xie Chenning's voice was clear and firm. Although it was not loud, it echoed in the palace and reached everyone's ears.

"Royal brother." Wei Ke nodded gently towards the person sitting in the upper seat. His words were loud and clear, with unquestionable majesty, showing the royal demeanor.

Wei Ming's gaze shifted from the will in Xie Feisi's hand to the ministers in the court. He saw a variety of complex expressions, including sympathy, expectation, and indifference.

He felt sad. He was able to become the emperor only because of this fake will. Now, he was so powerless in front of everyone.

Now the truth is out. Crown Prince Wei Ke is the one who should truly inherit the throne, and he should abdicate and let others take his place.

Wei Ming stood up slowly, his figure looking somewhat lonely in the empty hall.

He walked down the steps and came to Xie Feisi step by step. He took a deep look at the real will, his lips trembling slightly.

"It turns out that all this... was lied to me by my mother..."

Wei Ming's voice was a little hoarse and filled with endless bitterness.

Xie Feisi nodded slightly, "It seems that the Third Prince understands that the stability of the dynasty requires following orthodoxy."

Wei Ming smiled bitterly, "Yes, I should have known it long ago. I am incompetent and immoral. I was pushed to the throne because of my mother's fake edict..."

His eyes passed Xie Feisi and looked at Xie Chenning, as if he wanted to see some other emotions on her face.

However, no, he couldn't tell whether Xie Chenning had any feelings for him.

There was a moment of silence in the hall. The ministers who insisted on orthodoxy exchanged glances with each other. Citing ancestral rites and the stability of the dynasty, they demanded that Wei Ming follow the true will and hand over the throne to the crown prince.

Xie Feisi knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, please ascend the throne and lead our Great Wei Dynasty for thousands of years!"

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the court officials also responded and knelt down one after another.

For a moment, the sound of people kneeling one after another echoed throughout the palace.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Welcome the new emperor to the throne. Long live the emperor!"

*

At dawn, golden rays of light sprinkled on the majestic palace like threads, and the entire imperial city was immersed in a festive and solemn atmosphere.

Today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne, and it is also the day for him to marry the queen.

Wei Ke stood in the center of the palace, accepting the worship of the crowd. His imperial aura made everyone present feel awe.

At the same time, there was also a lively scene in the Queen's Ninghua Palace.

Xie Chenning was wearing a phoenix robe with a bright red background and a phoenix embroidered with colorful silk threads, spreading its wings as if ready to fly, symbolizing the queen's noble status.

She wore a phoenix crown, and the dazzling jewels sparkled brightly in the sun, but it could not conceal her stunning beauty in the slightest.

The palace maids surrounded her, dressing her up and making every detail perfect.

When the auspicious time arrived, Wei Ke, surrounded by his ministers, ascended the throne, which symbolized supreme power.

The coronation ceremony is solemn and complicated, and every step carries the history and tradition of the dynasty.

Offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, the new emperor swore to heaven, earth and ancestors amid the sound of bells and drums that he would protect the country and seek benefits for the people.

The ministers shouted "Long live the new emperor" and their voices echoed throughout the palace. This was their support for the new emperor and their expectations for the future of the dynasty.

On the other side, the wedding procession also set off in a grand manner.

The procession was led by the Jinwu Guards, the horses were covered in red and decorated with colorful ribbons, and the chariots were beautifully decorated.

The car body is carved with exquisite patterns and the windows are inlaid with sparkling gems, sparkling brightly under the sunlight.

Wherever the wedding procession went, the originally quiet streets suddenly became bustling, and people flocked to the streets, wanting to catch a glimpse of this grand scene.

People cheered and threw flowers to the team. The petals fell like snow, decorating the entire road.

The wedding procession arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Xie Chenning covered herself with a red veil and slowly boarded the carriage with the help of a group of palace maids.

Although the red veil covered her face, her smiling expression could still be vaguely seen through the thin scarf.

As Xie Chenning sat steadily on the carriage, the wedding procession set off again, slowly moving towards the direction of the imperial palace with everyone's blessings and expectations.

When the wedding procession arrived at the palace, Wei Ke had already completed the main ceremonies of the coronation ceremony.

Logically, he only needed to wait, but Wei Ke chose to step down from the throne and go to the palace gate to greet his queen.

The red veil was lifted, and the moment their eyes met, it seemed as if time had stopped.

Wei Ke's eyes were full of love and joy, while Xie Chenning nodded slightly with a smile in his eyes.

The two of them walked up the stairs step by step, and then the ceremony of enthroning the queen began.

Above the main hall of the palace, sunlight shone through the gaps between the carved beams and painted buildings, forming golden curtains of light.

Wei Ke looked solemn. He held Xie Chenning's hand tightly, and the two of them walked slowly towards the platform with steady steps.

Below the stage, the ministers dressed in court robes stood in neat and solemn rows, their eyes focused on the couple who were about to step onto the stage.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies read out the imperial edict of enthronement, and every word was as loud as a huge bell, announcing the identity and status of the queen.

Xie Chenning and Wei Ke stood on the high platform. She raised her head slightly, her eyes firm and calm, accepting the worship of all officials.

Wei Ke, who was standing beside her, never took his eyes off Xie Hun Ning, and his gaze was full of tenderness.

All the officials knelt down one after another, shouting:

"Long live the Queen, long live the Queen, long live the Queen, long live the Queen!"

Xie Chenning looked at Wei Ke beside him, "Long live the emperor?"

The latter shook his head and said, "I just want to live and die with you."
