Yuntao left the space and counted the hours.

She waited for an hour, but still didn't wait for Li Qianchen to come back.

However, Yuntao was not as anxious as her mother, so she opened the bed curtain and called the maids to light the lamp.

"Is it enough for the princess to sleep for such a long time? If the princess continues to rest, it will be too early." Xinlu advised.

"Tell the cook to simmer the soup. When the consort comes back, let him drink some soup to warm himself up." Yuntao said while sitting on the bed.

"I'll read a book for a while and then go to bed."

The maids brought up Yuntao's unfinished books.

Yuntao vaguely guessed something, but felt that these had nothing to do with the chaos in the future, so she could only take one step at a time.

Yuntao read for a while and then felt sleepy. The maid who was waiting on her side blew out the lamp and quietly left the room.

The candles in the room were burning quietly, casting a dim light on the windows.

Until dawn, when the candlestick was dripping with wax, Yuntao vaguely heard the movement in the space.

Rub your eyes and go straight in.

Her parents are both in space.

Yun Huachun was wearing a court dress, and his brows and eyes were full of exhaustion and solemnity.

Seeing the girl in pajamas who suddenly appeared, Yun Huachun said with concern: "Put on more clothes, don't freeze."

"Dad, what happened in the palace?" Yuntao asked, rubbing her hair. It was a little messy after sleeping all night, and it was even worse when she rubbed it.

Yun Huachun looked at his wife and children, his expression extremely serious.

"Your Majesty called me to the palace to make arrangements for your son. Your Majesty has written an imperial edict to make your son the crown princess."

"This..." Wan Hongmei was surprised for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Yuntao's face was full of thoughts.

You know, it is not easy to make a woman emperor.

Unless the royal family has no other bloodline.

In addition to her father, Ke Xian'er also had several uncles, not to mention relatives from the royal family.

It is conceivable that this resistance is not small.

"Your Majesty also issued an edict to depose the crown prince..." Yun Huachun said one after another.

He deposed his own father and made his own daughter the crown prince.

This incident is tantamount to roasting the eldest grandson on a fire rack.

"Dad, Your Majesty..." Yuntao said.

Yun Huachun looked at his daughter and lowered his head slightly, "Your Majesty, things are not going well."

"How could that happen?" Wan Hongmei asked in disbelief.

It stands to reason that although His Majesty is old, he has an imperial physician who checks his pulse all the time, so he can tell immediately what is wrong.

Wan Hongmei thought it was outrageous to not see a doctor first but instead make a will.

"Your Majesty, this is an old disease that cannot be cured..." Yun Huachun said dejectedly, and he didn't quite believe it.

It's just that now, it's like fate has arranged it.

"Dad, to whom did your Majesty entrust your son?" Yuntao asked.

Besides her father, there should be someone else.

"Prince Ning, the Wei family, and some old ministers are all His Majesty's closest confidants..." Yun Huachun was not very familiar with those senior ministers and did not have much contact with them on weekdays.

Just because those veteran ministers respect His Majesty does not mean that they will agree with His Majesty's decision-making.

There was a lot of chaos last night, but the ending was somewhat unexpected.

"What about Chan'er?" Yuntao asked with concern, it was impossible that Chan'er wouldn't be present for this matter.

"Zhan'er solved this matter by herself. Zhan'er convinced the ministers and willingly supported her to ascend to the throne." Yun Huachun thought about what happened last night and felt a little unbelievable.

Xian'er is only in her teens, yet she has such courage. Although the position of emperor is supreme, it is too heavy for a girl who is only in her teens.

"The palace will probably spread the news to the outside world today, so you can wait at home with peace of mind." Yun Huachun said.

Since autumn has arrived in Beijing, it has become cooler day by day.

The people on the street gradually put on thick clothes, and the vendors started selling hot soup.

The soldiers guarding the city also wore heavy armor. The armor was heavy and cold, and a night of patrolling particularly tested one's physical strength and willpower.

Li Qianchen took off his cold official uniform and put on his own casual clothes.

Thinking that he hadn't returned home all night, he hadn't even sent a message to the princess's mansion, and he didn't know how his wife was at home.

Li Qianchen was thinking as he walked outside. Colleagues all over the yard were eating breakfast and drinking hot soup, and hot steam came out of their bowls and mouths.

Although there is no fragrance and the nose is filled with the cool morning breeze, looking at it makes people greedy.

Breakfast was naturally Li Qianchen's share, but he was thinking about Yuntao and wanted to go back early.

"Lord Li!"

Before Li Qianchen left the yard, he heard a voice coming from behind him. Li Qianchen immediately turned around, his face as pale as water.

"Lord Li, there is a rumor in the palace that more people will be patrolling today. You are the only one who can make the decision. Please stay a while, Lord Li." The guard who sent the message bowed his head and saluted.

"Okay." Li Qianchen stood there in deep thought for a few seconds, softly uttered a word, then turned and returned to the house.

The guard who came to deliver the message wiped his sweat.

It was so cold in the morning and he was exhausted from running such a long distance. He was sweating coldly when he made the request to Mr. Li just now.

Among all the adults in the courtyard, Mr. Li has the highest rank.

He was both a consort and a father-in-law who was a young master. The adults in the courtyard, even those with higher positions than her, treated him somewhat poorly.

After all, they serve under Prince Ning. They are relatives and they are subordinates.

The town has to be visited by Mr. Li.

Hearing that he wanted to stay here for a while, Li Qianchen returned to the room in the office, wrote a letter with his own hand, and asked the cleaning servant in the courtyard to give it to Yuntao.

Their place is no better than other places, and slaves cannot live nearby, so they cannot ask anyone to carry messages at night. It is slightly better when there are more people during the day.

Although it was okay to ask the patrolling guards to deliver the letter, Li Qianchen did not want to do this. This was suspected of abusing his private power.

But more importantly, he was afraid that Yuntao would worry.

The letter did not contain any major events. Li Qianchen only said that he was short of people and could not find a replacement for him at the moment, and he also reassured Yuntao.

He will go back later and buy her a box of persimmons that she likes.

Yuntao read this page of letter carefully and gently put it in the box.

Knowing what is going on in the palace, she can know what her husband is doing.

Her father is still fine in the palace, so she is not worried.

Yuntao then ordered the kitchen to stew a pot of soup again and prepare some hot water.

The sunshine is pretty good today. You can take out the quilt on the bed to dry it, which will make it easier to fall asleep at night.

——

Inside the emperor's palace.

All the civil and military officials and the emperor and grandson of Longzi knelt on the ground outside.

They have been waiting here for a long time. Although His Majesty did not explain why he asked them to kneel here, everyone already knew it.

Today, there are many patrolling Imperial Guards waiting outside the palace, and there are many White Dragon Envoys waiting around the main hall. A blind person can detect that something is wrong in the atmosphere.

After waiting for a long time, His Majesty's personal eunuch came out.

Holding the imperial edict in hand, he read: "Your Majesty has an edict. Prince Yingchuan is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is in the second rank of the Ming Dynasty... Although there is no merit or demerit, but now he spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, it is in vain the instructions of the ancestors..."

When the eunuch read this, the eldest grandson's face was as white as a piece of paper and his body was shaky.

The minister behind him lowered his head sharply.
