C241 The Prince Who Suddenly Appeared
Xiang Yunxi looked at him, tears already flowing down her face.
"Big Brother Zhou, your injuries haven't completely healed. If you leave just like that, how am I supposed to explain it to others?"
Zhou Qu glanced at the side and said, "I know you felt wronged last night, but I must go back to the capital now. Even if you stop me, it's useless. Get out of my way now!"
Zhou Qu's voice was firm, which made Xiang Yunxi's tears fall even more fiercely.
At this moment, the commotion finally alarmed General Liang and the others. Very soon, someone rushed over.
General Liang looked at the two people in front of him and said, "What happened?"
Zhou Qu looked at him, "Perfect, General Liang, help me prepare two fast horses. I need to go back to Capital City right now!"
General Liang frowned, "I'm afraid that won't do. After all, the wounds on your body …"
"General Liang, I know my body. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to!" That's why I have to hurry up! I'll entrust that to you, General Liang. When the day comes when everything is safe and sound, I'll come back, so you can rest assured! "
Zhou Qu's tone was firm and did not allow anyone to refuse. Xiang Yunxi looked at him with her red eyes, but still let out a moan and ran away.
General Liang could only help Zhou Qu arrange the fast horses.
At this moment, Lee Wanning's words had caused an uproar in the court.
"The Emperor passed away!?"
"How is this possible?"
"When did this happen?"
Everyone's eyes were fixated on Lee Wanning who was on the stage.
Lee Wanning's face was calm. "The late emperor entrusting His Majesty to me before his death is my responsibility. I didn't manage to properly take care of the emperor, so right now, I want to make a suggestion to all the ministers!"
Everyone looked at her.
There was only one son left in the entire An clan. Now that the Emperor had left, what more did she want to say?
That the Emperor isn't actually too bad right now?
No one believed it!
The most important thing was, if the emperor left, what would happen to Jiang Shan?
Lee Wanning had already expected this scene, which seemed like an explosion from the bottom of the pot.
Originally, she wanted to hide it from Zhou Heng and let him find the right child. However, under such circumstances … Lee Wanning suddenly stopped thinking about it.
To tell a lie would require countless lies to make up for it. Lee Wanning did not want to do such a thing anymore.
Thus, she chose to say it out today.
He also wanted to fulfill a plan today.
Her eyes glanced at the people below, and said, "I know you want to say, the emperor is the foundation of the nation, and the emperor is gone. This Yingjia nation definitely cannot do it, but I want to say, as long as I'm here, there won't be a day when something like this happens!"
After Lee Wanning finished her sentence, the people standing in front of her started to laugh coldly.
Lee Wanning knew what they were thinking.
The emperor was originally in her hands. No matter what, whatever happened, it was something she was talking about. It was possible that she wanted to control the entire nation of Yingjia, which was why she chose to make a move against the emperor.
After all, only if the Emperor dies would she be able to take control of the entire Yingjia!
They all knew about this.
However, Lee Wanning only held her hand tightly and said, "Now, I have a proposal. All ministers, please take your decisions. As long as the people in the upper half of the imperial court agree, we will carry it out!"
Was there such a decision?
Everyone looked at Lee Wanning.
Lee Wanning took a deep breath and said, "What I want to do now is, if we search the entire country, there will be a young man, or anyone in the imperial court, who can recommend himself. We can choose from among them and choose someone suitable to take the test, and after that, he will be the new Emperor of our Yingjia!"
Originally, there was a bit of order in the imperial court, but after Lee Wanning's words, it became even more explosive.
Lee Wanning knew that such a decision would feel like the emperor was taking turns coming to my house, but this was already the best she could think of and it was much better than saying that she had the authority to do so.
After a short discussion, Lee Wanning stepped forward and said, "Everyone, it has been decided. Let's vote now! "Who agrees?!"
At that time, the imperial court was divided into two sides. Zhou Heng and the others were surprised, but they still stood on Lee Wanning's side. Other people, including Zhou Qu, were not in a state of agreement.
Even Zhou Heng was surprised by this.
After all, in Zhou Heng's eyes, he thought Zhou Qu would support Lee Wanning's actions unconditionally. Of course, Zhou Heng didn't know that the person in front of them right now was not Zhou Qu.
"Empress Dowager, even though the Emperor is no longer here, this matter is still a little ridiculous. The Emperor is the foundation of our country. Such an election, isn't he trying to make a fool of himself?"
Lee Wanning frowned.
Once she said that, it quickly attracted a lot of agreement. Lee Wanning frowned and looked at it, saying, "So, what does General Zhou mean by that? Do you have any suggestions? "
General Zhou only looked at the person in front of him and said, "I think there should be a better way."
"What method?"
"This subject believes that ever since Empress Dowager ascended the throne, the entire royal family of Yingjia has deteriorated. Now, even the Emperor is no longer present, so Empress Dowager should abdicate!"
"Brother, what are you talking about!?" Zhou Heng's eyes were filled with shock. He looked at the person in front of him and didn't dare to go into detail. He was his own brother!
Zhou Heng clenched his fists tightly, but even so, Zhou Qu didn't even look at him. He just stared at Lee Wanning, as if he wanted to force Lee Wanning to abdicate her position.
Lee Wanning looked at him and said, "It's fine if you want me to abdicate, but General Zhou, who do you want me to abdicate next? "You?"
Lee Wanning's face was solemn. Just as she finished her sentence, a voice called out from the doorway, "Me!"
Hearing the voice, Lee Wanning's expression changed. When she raised her eyes, she saw a person slowly walking over from the main hall's entrance.
The forward guard at the door wanted to stop him, but he was kicked down instead.
Lee Wanning's thick eyebrows and big eyes were made of the color of wheat. When she stared at Lee Wanning, she even had the illusion that … Ann Tan.
She tried her best to stay still for a moment before saying, "Who are you? You actually dare to break into the throne room privately!? "
"Who am I?" That person sneered and said, "I am King Lingsu, the younger brother of the late emperor!"
Ann Tan's brother!
Lee Wanning had never known about this. However, in these three years, when did King Lingsu not appear and why did he do it at such a time?
Lee Wanning's eyes darkened. "What evidence do you have?"
"I am the evidence!"
Another voice sounded. Lee Wanning raised her head and saw Grand Consort Lan slowly walking over.
Why did she come …
Lee Wanning frowned. She looked at King Lingsu and said, "You said that you are the younger brother of the late emperor. Why didn't you appear when the late emperor passed away?"
Hearing Lee Wanning's words, King Lingsu sneered and said, "What's so strange about this! Previously, the previous Emperor had handed over all of his authority to you. Didn't I come out to seek my own death like Prince Regent? "
Lee Wanning knew what King Lingsu meant by that. He wanted to say that he was the one who had sole authority over the entire An clan and wanted to exterminate them all!
Now that she heard King Lingsu's words, Lee Wanning felt annoyed. She said, "I really don't dare to let such a big hat cover King Lingsu. If that's the case, then what's the meaning of you coming back now? "
"Naturally … "Seize power!"
King Lingsu's direct words made the entire imperial court clamor. And under his voice, Zhou Qu had already waved his hand and countless people charged into the throne room.
"Brother, what are you trying to do?" "Are you trying to rebel?!"
What really moved Lee Wanning was that at that time, the first person to rush onto the stage was Zhou Heng.
When Zhou Heng stood in front of her, Lee Wanning's eyes started to turn red.
She pulled Zhou Heng away.
"The person in front of me isn't Zhou Qu."
Hearing that, Zhou Heng's eyes immediately looked over. He looked at Lee Wanning in shock and said, "What did you say?"
"I knew you weren't Zhou Qu when you first appeared. But I never knew what you wanted to do at that time. Now, I know."
Lee Wanning pushed Zhou Heng away and said word by word, "But do you think the world is yours now that I'm dead? At that time, you did not appear, not because you were afraid of being viciously attacked by me, but because at that time, the entire world had yet to be settled, right? Now that the entire world looks like it belongs to the Yingjia, you want to come over and take it? "
King Lingsu's face was covered in a cold smile as he said, "Even if that's the case, there's nothing you can do, no?"
Lee Wanning clenched her fists tightly. King Lingsu had already said, "Men, suppress Empress Dowager Lee and await punishment!"
