Duke Xiao Guogong only glanced at the old minister who fainted, and then turned back. He didn't know whether he was really dizzy or just pretending to be dizzy, fishing in troubled waters.
He looked at Chu Yunxi.
"No matter what your status is, this is not the place where a woman like you should come!"
Chu Yunxi's expression remained as usual.
"Yes, I am a woman, and I don't care about anything else, but what you want to interfere with is the life and death of my future husband, and what you are forcing is my future father-in-law. Then I can't just sit back and watch."
Chu Yunxi directly removed herself from the crime of women participating in politics and downgraded it to family issues.
"The prince is the prince of Yunxiao Kingdom, and the prince of all the people. It is related to the rise and fall of a country, and it is not just your fiancé, Chu Yunxi! You cannot have the final say alone!"
Duke Xiao Guo reprimanded him again.
"That's right, the affairs of His Royal Highness are all state affairs."
The minister who just couldn't answer the question immediately came forward to agree with Duke Xiao.
"I believe that all of you, your lords, the reason why you are kneeling here today to beg for your life is so that His Highness the Prince can survive this calamity safely, not because you want his life."
As soon as Chu Yunxi said these words, these courtiers, no matter what they thought in their hearts, could only nod in agreement at this moment. Otherwise, would they have to say in front of the emperor that they were plotting evil intentions?
"In this case, your lords and I have the same purpose, so why do we need to say evil things to each other?"
"Hmph, you put it nicely. Who knows what your Chu family's purpose is in dominating the East Palace."
Another minister turned the blame back on Chu Yunxi.
"Then who knows what you are thinking when you kneel here and scream for His Highness?"
Chu Yunxi looked coldly at the minister who spoke and retorted.
"Since people's hearts are separated from each other, let's talk about the facts."
Chu Yunxi turned around, faced the emperor's palace, and knelt down.
When Chu Wenzhong saw this, he knelt down behind Chu Yunxi. He was originally afraid that his sister would not be able to cope with it, but he was extremely proud to see his sister fighting against the ministers alone and not falling behind.
Chu Yunxi rushed into the palace and asked for orders loudly:
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is unconscious now. In order to protect His Highness the Crown Prince's safety and not be harmed by traitors with evil intentions, I would like to ask Your Majesty to order that before His Highness the Crown Prince wakes up, everyone who enters the East Palace will live and die with His Highness the Crown Prince.
!”
Every word of Chu Yunxi's voice was clearly heard in the ears of everyone present, and the whole thing exploded.
"She, what does she mean?"
This means that no matter who he is, if he goes to the East Palace, if the prince dies, will he be buried with him?
"It's nonsense, it's just nonsense. If you say it yourself, you'd better do it yourself first."
The minister thought that Chu Yunxi was just sarcastically targeting them.
Chu Yunxi held the Crown Princess's official seal with both hands above her head.
"Your Majesty, your daughter-in-law Chu Yunxi is willing to share the hardships with His Highness the Crown Prince. If His Highness cannot survive this critical moment of life and death, my daughter-in-law is willing to die in the same hole as His Highness the Crown Prince. I ask the Emperor to grant your daughter-in-law's request. Anyone who enters the East Palace will issue a military order.
, to isolate the bad people from outside."
The ministers began to have their own thoughts. The prince has been in a coma for more than half a month now. Who would be so bold and stupid to place his life on the half-dead prince?
At this moment, no one jumped out and accused Chu Yunxi of having ulterior motives. Everyone was willing to tie their own lives to the life of the prince. How could he harm the prince?
Duke Xiao Guogong looked at Chu Yunxi with hatred, he really knew how to confuse people.
"If anything happens to the prince, you can't even afford to pay for it with ten lives!"
Xiao Guogong clasped his fists towards the emperor's palace:
"Your Majesty, the prince has not woken up for many days, which means that Dr. Zhang has nothing to do. He should let other doctors take a look and give the prince some life. This is not a problem that can be solved with passion."
Chu Yunxi refused to give in even a step, and his voice was equally high-pitched.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince was injured. It was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! There is someone who is ambitious and wants to kill the Crown Prince and replace him. Please give me a clear warning, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Chu Yunxi finished speaking, Chu Wenzhong echoed loudly.
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal of the Crown Princess."
Immediately afterwards, King Hao's voice came.
"My brother seconded the proposal of the Crown Princess!"
The voices of General Chu and other generals.
"I second the proposal to the Crown Princess."
The voices of Chu Wenhong and the courtiers of the Hanlin Academy.
"I second the proposal to the Crown Princess."
Chu Wenjin, as well as the voices of the household ministers.
"I second the proposal to the Crown Princess."
The Minister of War and other courtiers who supported the prince were also present:
"I second the proposal to the Crown Princess!"
Chu Yunxi turned her head and listened to the voices of agreement one after another. She looked at her relatives and the ministers who supported Jun Lingyun who had disrupted the formation of Xiao Guogong and others and intervened to kneel behind her. She was moved in her heart.
The eyes are slightly red.
Unknowingly, the number of supporters in the East Palace has been comparable to the number of supporters of Duke Xiao.
Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Guogong's dark face. It was great that she was not supporting it alone.
If it were just her words, the emperor might not be able to overcome the opinions of others. In this situation of equality, the emperor only needs to follow his heart.
In front of the emperor's palace, it was even more lively than in the court hall. Everyone knelt down.
The only ones standing were King Hao and Duke Xiao, two people who assisted in the affairs of the government.
The emperor, who was in the palace, listened to the noise outside and laughed several times.
"Haha. What a bold girl."
He originally thought that this time it would be difficult and that he would have to make a fuss for a few days before things could turn around.
Unexpectedly, that girl Chu Yunxi would be so courageous and not weak in the face of the courtiers. She also managed her identity just right without touching any red lines.
"It's all because of your discerning eye, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Fu said a compliment.
The emperor was favored, but he also knew that it had nothing to do with him. The reason why he chose Chu Yunxi back then was just to let General Chu become the backing of the prince and balance the power of the Xiao family.
Who could have imagined that a little pepper would be found for the prince to be his princess?
The emperor stretched out his hand, it was time for him to appear. Eunuch Fu quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Cough, cough, cough."
The emperor was a little weak and appeared in front of the courtiers. This was the first time he met the courtiers since the prince left the capital.
When the courtiers saw Long Yan, they all leaned down.
"Greetings to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live the emperor."
"With courtiers like you, I don't expect to live forever."
The emperor reprimanded, and all the courtiers apologized one after another.
"I am terrified."
The emperor looked at Chu Yunxi who was kneeling at the front.
"Princess, please get up and come to me."
The courtiers on Duke Xiao's side were shocked that the emperor praised Chu Yunxi so highly and called her to his side. Isn't it obvious which way the emperor's heart was leaning?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chu Yunxi's voice was clear and he stood up after receiving the order.
The emperor pretended to be dissatisfied.
"You already call yourself your daughter-in-law, why do you still call me your emperor?"
Eunuch Fu reminded me from the side.
"Princess, please call me father!"
Chu Yunxi was still a little unaccustomed to it, but the emperor was clearly trying to save her face, so how could she not know what was good or bad?
"Yes, Father."
Chu Yunxi bowed again before approaching the emperor.
