The Prime Minister's words shut up the so-called loyal ministers like Lin Tao. They wanted to say something but didn't know how to refute. They raised their eyes and glanced at Bai Yuxian, who always had a cold face, and did not dare to say anything again.
Originally, Xiao Yunchen always liked to join in the fun, but looking at the current situation, he knew that if he said anything else, he might not be able to figure out the matter for a while.
In addition, Bai Yuxian glared at him, so he simply stood aside and shut up.
Nowadays, most of the officials in the court hope that Bai Yuxian will be the regent and act in government affairs. As long as Bai Yuxian nods, he can become the person above these ten thousand people. However, King Chen himself was stunned and refused to nod.
He stood with a cold face and did not express his position, and the officials were helpless. They had been arguing for a long time, but there was still no result.
As the head of a hundred officials, the prime minister had no choice but to speak again: "Your Highness, King Chen, I know that you are loyal to the emperor and are unwilling to overstep your authority and preside over the government. If the emperor is still conscious, it is indeed inappropriate for you to do so.
But now the situation is different. The emperor was poisoned and is still awake. The court is in turmoil. If no one takes the lead, there will be complete chaos.
Moreover, after all, the emperor's coma could not be hidden for long. After a while, the news spread out of the palace, causing people to panic, and then spread to surrounding countries, causing other countries to take advantage of the situation and invade Dongchen. At that time, the country was in danger. For the sake of the overall situation,
Please also ask King Chen to take control of the government!"
"Please ask King Chen to preside over the government!"
Other officials echoed in unison.
Xiao Yunchen showed a lazy smile and looked specifically at Bai Yuxian. Although he knew that he would not be the regent, he still gloated and wanted to see how he would refuse.
Bai Yuxian turned around expressionlessly, faced the officials, and said slowly: "Everyone must know that my wife is the princess of the Western Kingdom, a foreigner. If I become the regent,
The people of Dongchen Kingdom are afraid that there will be criticism.
Moreover, it is inevitable that some young people will make trouble and say that the king has colluded with the Western Kingdom and is working with the princess to harm the Dongchen Kingdom. In order to avoid these unnecessary misunderstandings, the king cannot accept your love."
"This..." The Prime Minister became anxious and opened his mouth to persuade, but Bai Yuxian preempted him: "Prime Minister, there is no need to say any more. I will not be the regent. However, I will work with all your lords to nominate a regent.
A capable person will take charge of the overall situation."
"But in this dynasty today, apart from you, King Chen, is there anyone with high moral character and respect who can be qualified?" someone asked.
Bai Yuxian really didn't want to deal with this group of ministers here anymore, so he said directly: "The election of the regent must be careful. It is not just about randomly recommending someone. It has to be considered in the long term. It's better to stop here today and leave this matter for another day.
Let’s discuss again.”
After that, he stepped out of the palace door without looking back and left. Xiao Yunchen looked at the ministers and found that their expressions were not very good, so he shrugged and chased out.
Bai Yuxian's pace was a bit fast, and Xiao Yunchen chased him for a while before catching up.
Panting, he grabbed Bai Yuxian's shoulders and said, "Brother, why are you leaving in such a hurry? If you don't want to be the regent, you should at least elect one. There are still talents in our Xiao family."
Bai Yuxian stopped and glanced at Xiao Yunchen: "For example, you?"
Xiao Yunchen smiled brightly, straightened his back and said: "Although I am not as smart and capable as you, eldest brother, I am still considered a leader among the royal family, and of course I am also a talented person."
Bai Yuxian rolled her eyes at him, a thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly looked at Xiao Yunchen seriously.
Xiao Yunchen was originally joking, but being stared at by his brother like this made his whole body numb and uneasy.
"Brother, you, you don't really have a crush on me, do you? I can't do it. What I hate the most is the imperial government. It's already annoying enough to go to court every day. I can't do it."
Bai Yuxian sighed suddenly, shook his head and continued walking. He knew Xiao Yunchen's temper very well, and asking him to be the regent and being restrained all the time would probably be more uncomfortable than killing him.
Xiao Yunchen quickly caught up with him again and said with a smile: "Brother, you are in such a hurry to leave the palace, are you afraid that the princess will be waiting in the palace? Let me tell you, you don't need to be so nervous, the princess is a sensible person.
, you have serious things to do, she can understand."
Bai Yuxian stopped again and glared at Xiao Yunchen, the warning in his eyes was quite obvious. Xiao Yunchen still had a cynical smile on his face, but his mouth was closed obediently.
After finally getting rid of Xiao Yunchen, it was already half past midnight when Bai Yuxian rushed back to Prince Chen's Mansion.
The lights were still on in the new house, and the dim firelight shone through the window lattice. It looked warm, and even Bai Yuxian's heart felt warm. After waiting for so many years, he finally married his beloved Xun'er. Now his wish has come true.
There is nothing else to ask for.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curl his lips and pushed the door open.
The next scene that comes into view is Ye Fuxun lying on the table and falling asleep. The complicated headdress on her head has been removed, and the red wedding dress has also been taken off. She is only wearing a white middle coat. Her skin under the light
Whiter and softer face.
Bai Yuxian's heart softened, she closed the door gently, walked over, leaned over and kissed her cherry red lips, then happily picked up her newlywed wife and walked into the inner room.
Ye Fuxun was a light sleeper. Even though Bai Yuxian's movements were very gentle, he still woke up quickly.
"Did it wake you up?" Bai Yuxian put Ye Fuxun on the soft quilt and looked at her with a smile.
As soon as Ye Fuxun opened his eyes, he saw such a handsome face, and it was so close at hand. His snow-white face suddenly turned red, and he quickly shifted his gaze and sat up.
"You are back. Have you finished handling the matters in the court? How is the situation in the palace?"
"Xiao Che is already unconscious, the imperial doctors are helpless, and the Queen Mother is under house arrest. Only the Queen is still with him, but that can only be done in a hurry."
As Bai Yuxian spoke, he took off his heavy official uniform, then took Ye Fuxun's hand and walked to the table to sit down.
Ye Fuxun sneered and said, "Xiao Che will never wake up again in this life. This is his retribution!"
After a pause, he asked again: "Where is the Queen Mother? She will definitely not stay peacefully. She has a lot of power in the palace. You have to be more careful, otherwise I don't know what trouble she will make.
.”
She knew the Queen Mother's character very well, and her methods were not only ruthless, but also varied and unpredictable. She must be completely defeated and she would no longer be able to fight back.
"Don't worry, I won't give her any room to fight back," Bai Yuxian said, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. Compared with Xiao Che, he hated the Queen Mother who had been manipulating behind the scenes even more.
