Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

After reading the imperial edict, the emperor glanced at the shocked faces of his ministers and raised his hand again without waiting for them to speak again.

All the ministers looked at this and felt that their usually self-confident, steady and calm mentality, today seemed to have turned into a bamboo basket for drawing water - up and down.

The emperor slowly lowered his arm and Shengxing took another step forward.

Most court officials chose to keep silent and wait until they understood the mainstream situation before taking any action.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: My younger brother, Su Shaoyu, passed away last night. I hereby announce this to the world."

After Sheng Xing finished shouting, the few ministers who were whispering in private below immediately stopped talking and looked at each other.

Just twenty words announced the death of Prince Su Shaoyu, who was arrogant and domineering in the capital more than half a month ago?

Last night... this special time?

Since the Queen Mother took control of the government, hasn't Su Shaoyu been going to the palace more frequently?

Isn't it rumored that he is getting closer to the Queen Mother...

After looking at each other with different expressions, the ministers turned their eyes to the leader.

At the head, the Emperor still sat there expressionless, and the Empress Dowager still remained silent.

Has the Empress Dowager discussed this with the Emperor?

Or...even more terrifying is...the Emperor and the Queen Mother took Su Shaoyu's life together?

Otherwise, why not even fake the cause of death...

The Emperor has...completely eliminated the retreat plans of the ministers who do not want to accept Princess Yunxuan becoming the Empress of Yunsheng!!

Some old ministers with deep thoughts lowered their eyes slightly, silently in fear.

The younger ones, unable to notice the changes in the Emperor and the Queen Mother's faces, began to discuss in low voices again.

Glancing at the heads gradually lowering below, the emperor fixed his gaze on Prince Xu.

Prince Xu's face turned pale, and he couldn't keep his body steady despite trying so hard, and he leaned to the side.

Upon seeing this, the ministers standing behind King Xu hurriedly shouted, "King Xu, be careful," while trying to support him with both hands.

This voice immediately drew the attention of all the confused ministers to Prince Xu.

With the passing of Grand Tutor Bai, Prince Xu is the most senior among all the civil and military officials in the court.

Why don't they first see what King Xu's attitude is...

The expectant eyes of the ministers were focused on Prince Xu.

Prince Xu ignored everyone's gazes and pushed away the person who was supporting him. He straightened his back and stared directly at the Queen Mother.

That look seemed to be able to nail a hole through the curtains.

The Queen Mother knew it was her turn to take action.

Interrupting the words that the emperor was about to say, the empress dowager spoke majestically: "I am deeply saddened by the loss of my young son.

The emperor has recovered, and I shouldn't have continued to govern, but considering that there is no precedent of a female emperor in Yunsheng's history, I am afraid that someone will raise objections, so I have the audacity to act behind the curtain."

Having said this, the Queen Mother stopped and shifted her gaze from Prince Xu, whose expression had eased a little, to the ministers.

After a ferocious look, the Queen Mother continued, "When the late Emperor made me the Queen, many of you had troubled me and questioned my purpose in marrying a princess of a fallen nation like Chaoxia to the late Emperor.

I didn’t clarify it before, but today I decided to tell you. I… do have a purpose.”

The ministers were in an uproar again.

Seeing that people around him were discussing the Queen Mother privately, Prince Xu's anger was gradually replaced by heartache. He turned sideways and shouted angrily: "Don't you dare to discuss the Queen Mother privately!"

The ministers shut up again.

Knowing that Prince Xu was stable, the Queen Mother gave him a grateful look and continued, "In your eyes, Chaoxia was trampled by the iron cavalry of Feng Lan and Yun Sheng. In my eyes, Chaoxia was destroyed because of the constraints of pedantic dogma.

Why can’t women who are born into the royal family become candidates?

I have personally witnessed a king of a country go mad because he was too cowardly to oppose the secular world..."

Her voice began to choke and become hoarse, and the hall became unusually quiet again.

King Xu clenched his fists.

The emperor felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, and he grabbed the handle of the dragon throne, trying his best to support himself.

The Queen Mother simply stood up and slowly walked out from behind the curtain, "My goal is to break the prejudice of the world. I want to marry the king who will destroy my country, so that my child can still be the emperor.

I want my father and the people of the world to see that even though he is unwilling to pass the throne to me, I and my children will still stand at the top of the hierarchy from generation to generation.

Yunxuan, come here." The Queen Mother waved at Su Yunxuan with red eyes.

As Su Changfeng watched her leave, Su Yunxuan walked up to the Queen Mother with a heavy heart.

The Queen Mother took her hand and turned to the ministers, "Yunxuan is the emperor's only child. It is only right for her to inherit the throne. I firmly believe that she will eventually prove to the world that women are no worse than men."

The emperor also had tears in his eyes. After the empress dowager finished speaking, he also slowly stood up.

Taking Su Yunxuan's other hand, the emperor glanced at the courtiers and said, "From today on, I declare that my daughter Yunxuan will become the Queen of Yunsheng. I hope you can do your best to assist her. This is what you owe her."

After the last sentence "I owe her" was spoken, the old ministers who had opposed the emperor taking Su Yunxuan and her mother back to the country lowered their heads.

The court officials who entered the palace later did not understand the meaning of this sentence, but they also saw the determination of the emperor and the empress dowager to make Su Yunxuan the new emperor.

Everyone looked at each other, or lowered their eyes to weigh the pros and cons.

It didn't take too long before the more experienced ministers unanimously agreed that establishing Su Yunxuan as the Empress of Yunsheng was the wisest decision for Yunsheng at the moment.

The disaster in Yunsheng is becoming increasingly serious. Feng Lan insists that only if Princess Yunsheng marries a foreign princess will he agree to reconcile the two countries.

It looks like the emperor doesn't have much time left.

Su Shaoyu is dead.

If Su Changfeng inherited the throne, given how infatuated he was with Su Yunxuan, how could he agree to marry Feng Lan, the beloved he had been searching for for many years?

Rather than letting Su Changfeng inherit the throne and start a war between the two countries for the beauty, they might as well agree to let Princess Yunxuan become the Empress of Yunsheng.

After Princess Yunxuan became the Empress of Yunsheng, she was no longer a princess of Yunsheng. If she was not a princess, there would be no such thing as a princess marrying off to another country.

Even if we take a step back and say that the new emperor of Fenglan still insists on Su Yunxuan's marriage, and Empress Yunsheng marries the new emperor of Fenglan, the worst that can happen is the unification of the two countries.

That's better than the war between the two countries and the suffering of all people...

The atmosphere was already so heated that everyone knew what was going on clearly, and they were just waiting for someone to speak out first.

Soon, the ministers' attention was focused on Prince Xu again.

Prince Xu lived up to everyone's expectations and stood up, being the first to express his support for Princess Yunxuan to become the new emperor of Yunsheng.

All the ministers immediately echoed and congratulated Su Yunxuan on becoming the Empress of Yunsheng.

After setting the time for the empress's coronation ceremony, the emperor mentioned Su Yunxuan and Su Changfeng's marriage again. The peaceful and joyous atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant, and the ministers were surprisingly unanimous in their opposition.

The emperor was furious, and although his ministers knelt in fear and bowed their heads, no one agreed.

There was silence in the hall.

In desperation, the emperor turned to King Xiang Xu for help.

He thought King Xu would definitely agree.

Unexpectedly, King Xu just looked up at Su Changfeng, then lowered his head and remained silent again.

The emperor wanted to force Prince Xu to speak, but the empress dowager understood and stopped him, and directly dissolved the court meeting.
