Two hundred and ninetieth chapters leave branch 6

The queen's shoulders shrank, and her hands holding Bai Jinyu became sensibly stiff.

Bai Jinyu felt a shocking question in his heart. Could it be that Feng Hua's succession to the throne was a false edict? This question was so bold that Bai Jinyu only dared to ask questions in his heart, and did not dare to send it out even if he whispered.

However, the tremor in her heart still ran out of her eyes. The queen immediately guessed what she was thinking and hurriedly said, "No, it's definitely not what you think!"

Bai Jinyu said: "That's..."

The queen subconsciously glanced at the door and window. Her actions made Bai Jinyu feel that what she was about to say was quite confidential and ulterior motive.

The rain sounded gurgling outside the room and the wind was swaying. Bai Jinyu comforted: "Don't worry, I'm sure there is no third person here."

Bai Jinyu thought to herself that the sound of rain was so loud that even if someone stood outside the door, it would be strange to hear their low voices!

The queen nodded, grabbed the porcelain cup she had just put down, took a sip of water, and seemed to be thinking about how to start.

Bai Jinyu waited patiently, and after a moment, the queen said, "It is true that there is no imperial seal of the late emperor, but there is something else."

Bai Jinyu was stunned: "What else? What is something else?"

The queen lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "You should know that Feng Hua... is the prince deposed by the late emperor." She raised her head quickly, and her eyes were filled with unyielding light: "He was harmed by Empress Feng, but the late emperor was bewitching people for a while..."

Bai Jinyu patted her hand and said, "I know, Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch."

The queen then said with peace of mind: "Anyway, the late emperor did not establish a crown prince until the eve of his death. Later, when the late emperor had the intention to establish himself, his body was very weak and he often fell into a coma for several days before he woke up. The last time the late emperor woke up was midnight, with only the Secretariat of the Secretariat Cai Xukun and the Secretariat of the Ministry of Justice Han Yan beside him. The late emperor ordered the Secretariat Cai to draft an edict for the throne, but unfortunately he could not find the imperial seal when the signature was signed..."

Bai Jinyuqi said, "There is such a thing?"

The queen nodded miserably: "The edict of the throne must be covered with the imperial seal of the state and the imperial seal of the late emperor to achieve results. The imperial seal was kept by the eunuch in charge of the palace, so it was taken out at that time, but the imperial seal was generally kept by the emperor himself. The late emperor only told Empress Dowager Feng where it was. Unfortunately, when the late emperor asked the imperial seal to take it, the imperial seal was gone."

Bai Jinyu listened and felt that what the queen said was gloomy and dark, and the unpredictable people behind her was really scary.

She speculated: "It seems that someone who is interested is to prevent the late emperor from waking up at a time when she is out of control and deliberately hid the imperial seal."

The queen nodded: "Without the imperial seal, even if there were officials from the Secretariat to draft the imperial seal, the imperial seal would not be effective. The late emperor saw clearly the Feng family's face of covering the sky and leap of power. He was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood on the spot... Later, Lord Han proposed temporarily to let the late emperor replace the imperial seal with a hand seal, which gave this precious edict to pass on the throne."

Bai Jinyu also understood at this moment. Out of caution, she summed up and confirmed to the queen: "So, the edict of the throne is true, but it is not the imperial seal on it, but the hand seal of the late emperor."

The queen said, "That's right."

Bai Jinyu sighed: "Fortunately, the Minister of Justice was present, so it might not have been possible for others to think of this idea. He was in charge of the Ministry of Justice, so he knew that the hand patterns of people were different for a long time. It was impossible to be the same as others. It was indeed appropriate to use them as imperial seals."

The queen said: "Your Majesty ascended the throne, I really need to thank Lord Han for your idea. After the death of the late emperor, several officials from the Menxia Province also verified the late emperor's fingerprints, and finally announced that the late emperor in the world passed on to Your Majesty."

After the queen finished telling, Bai Jinyu felt a chill on her back. The open and secret struggles in the royal family were really chaotic.

Bai Jinyu asked: "But... Your Majesty has ascended the throne for more than a year, why has this last order been re-recorded?"

"It's Empress Feng," the queen frowned tightly and sighed: "She's crazy..."

When the queen talked about this, Bai Jinyu understood it and couldn't help but think of the crazy figure who was talking nonsense in front of the Tai Chi Palace, with a barefoot.

The queen said: "Before, except for the three high officials, there were not many people who knew the details of the will. But after Empress Feng went crazy, she began to talk nonsense and talked to everyone in the palace that the late emperor's will had no seal."

The queen's face suddenly turned pale, and she said tremblingly: "You must know that some of the guards in the palace are just promoted from the command of King Ning and King Chu..."

Bai Jinyu was also frightened when she heard this.

The queen said with her heart: "King Ning and King Chu are not all in the pool. This time they reduced the vassals because of their frustration and were unable to resist the order. But they were unwilling to accept it and would definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate against His Majesty in the future. Now they are still in charge of the entry into the capital. I dare not imagine how they will make a big fuss when they return to the capital to learn about the edict!"

Bai Jinyu remained silent. The queen's worry made sense. If she were Feng Lin, Feng Ye would not have missed this great opportunity.

She used the kings' soldiers to serve. Before today, she thought the emperor was "a snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gained profits." Now it seems that there is another one, that is, "lifting a stone and shooting herself in the foot."

"Lihua--" While thinking, the queen held Bai Jinyu's hand again, and Bai Jinyu's heart suddenly jumped, and the queen said: "Now, while they have not entered Beijing, we must find a way to deal with it!"

"We?" Bai Jinyu pulled her hand out of the queen's palm. She was about to run away in a few days, so she didn't want to worry about this anymore.

The queen affirmed: "It's us! Your Majesty, I have you, Princess Yuhe! It's not to be hiding it. It was also your Majesty's instruction to come here today!"

The queen said this to make Bai Jinyu pay attention, but Bai Jinyu, who had just been taught a lesson by Wen Zhengyan for a few days, heard that he had gotten involved in the emperor and immediately refused even more: "This, I can't do it. Let's wait for His Highness Jin to come back and make a long-term plan!"

The queen shook her head and said anxiously: "When will the King of Jin come back?"

She raised her head and calculated: "Before leaving, your highness said that she would be back on October 15th, and there may be about ten days left!"

The queen looked at Bai Jinyu with concern in her eyes: "Lihua, what if King Yi Ning and King Chu entered the capital before King Jin? If they took the initiative, we would probably not even have the chance to protect ourselves!"

Bai Jinyu was still thinking of refusing and said vaguely: "No, King Ning, the fief of King Chu is much farther than that of Yongzhou. It should be impossible for him to come to Chang'an before His Highness!"
