I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar

According to the law, if the emperor dies before the crown prince and crown princess are determined, the empress has a say in the selection of the crown prince and crown princess.

In other words, no matter who the cabinet, the Senate, and the military favor as emperor, they must get the endorsement of the queen.

If the queen disagrees, the emperor candidate cannot be determined.

Queen Li Fengen's attitude clearly shows that she does not recognize the heir status of Tan Tai and Gui, as well as the child in Ying Wuxin's belly.

At this moment, Tan Tai Yugui, who was sitting with Ying Wuxin, curled his lips slightly, looking nonchalant.

He and Ying Wuxin were sitting in the same row with the Queen and the eldest princess.

The queen is in the first place, next to her is Ying Wuxin, on the other side of Ying Wuxin is Tan Tai Yugui, and then the eldest princess Tan Tai Jinyu.

These four people represent the four people closest to the deceased emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan.

One is his wife, one is his son, one is the woman pregnant with his child, and one is his sister with the same father and mother.

There were many security personnel surrounding the eldest princess, Tan Tai Jin Yu.

The other members of the royal family were all indirect relatives, and even their seats were two rows further back than the four people in front.

Security personnel were seated in both rows.

As for the royal family members who sat farther away, compared with their immediate family members, some had more turns, while others only had one turn.

If it weren't for Tan Tai and Gui, and the baby in Ying Wuxin's belly, these royal family members who had taken a detour would have been the first in line for heirs to the throne.

They all had complicated feelings towards Tan Tai and Gui Heying Wuxin in front of them.

Only the eldest princess, Tan Tai Jin Yu, was indifferent to the matter and was in a very peaceful mood.

After the Queen's speech, it was Tan Tai's turn to return.

He was a member of the royal family who had just "returned to his roots", and he had no feelings at all towards the emperor, his cheap father.

Before they had a chance to recognize each other, the guy was assassinated.

For Tan Tai and Gui, such a father is almost the same as not having him at all.

It would be better if it was Quan Junxiao who watched him grow up and made him feel a sense of belonging.

However, now that I'm standing on this altar, I still have to say some nice words.

Therefore, Tan Tai Yu Gui took out an obituary written by his mechanical intelligence and read it slowly.

There is no emotion, no skill, just pure mechanics.

After he finished reading, the church fell silent and everyone looked solemn. They looked at him as if they were looking at an emperor.

Next is Ying Wuxin.

She was paying tribute to the deceased emperor on behalf of the baby in her belly.

From beginning to end, her face was filled with deep sorrow and hatred, as if her entire family had died.

Her beauty, which was so stunning that it resembled her aunt, was also greatly reduced.

After she went down, Xia Chujian thought, the last person to stand up and give a speech should be the eldest princess Tan Tai Jin Yu, right?

Sure enough, the eldest princess Tan Tai Jin Yu stood up.

She was dressed in her best attire, wearing a hat trimmed with phoenix-tail feathers, and a long black veil hanging down to her waist.

Xia Chujian looked down at her and suddenly something occurred to her: ... a veil?

Princess Tan Tai Jin Yu, why does she wear a veil on such an occasion?

If this was the etiquette of noble ladies, there were so many top noble ladies present, including the queen and Ying Wuxin, and no one wore a veil.

So why does she wear a veil?

Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes.

Just as the eldest princess Tan Tai Jin Yu walked up to the altar with graceful manner and stood behind the podium, preparing to give a speech, a group of people wearing the uniforms of the Punishment Department suddenly rushed in.

There were so many of them that once they came in, they occupied all the exits and windows of the cathedral hall.

They were all wearing bulletproof vests and conventional mechas, and they stood in front of everyone with their burly figures.

The people in the cathedral hall were stunned for a moment and did not react.

Ye Shijie was the last one to come in.

After he came in, he immediately said to the eldest princess Tan Tai Jin Yu who was standing behind the podium on the altar: "Madam, please come down."

"The princess should be giving a speech now. May I ask what you are doing up there?"

After he said this, everyone came to their senses and immediately looked at the "Princess" standing behind the podium on the altar.

Ye Shijie then saluted to the people in the hall and said, "My lords, I'm sorry to bother you."

"The Disciplinary Department is investigating a case. In order to catch the real culprit who killed Baron Ying's entire family 20 years ago, we had to intervene suddenly."

"Your Majesty will certainly understand us if he knows about this in the afterlife."

After he said this, most people in the cathedral hall felt relieved.

Someone quickly stood up and said, "Since the Department of Corrections is handling the case, it is not appropriate for us to stay here. - Goodbye."

These people wanted to leave, but the staff of the Disciplinary Department standing at the door did not move and still blocked the door.

Ye Shijie said slowly: "Everyone, please be patient. Once we bring the real culprit behind the scenes to justice, you can leave."

The person who rushed to the front at this time was a senior cabinet official.

He said with a surprised look on his face: "You can arrest people if you want, but what do you mean by not allowing us to leave? Do you suspect that we are all murderers?! - This is really ridiculous!"

Ye Shijie said politely: "Of course not. There is only one real murderer behind the scenes, but this person is particularly good at disguising himself and hiding in the crowd."

"We are not releasing him now because we are worried that he might hide in the crowd and sneak away."

After he said this, the people in the cathedral hall became even more uneasy.

They looked around, and everyone seemed to be the murderer hiding among them.

The eldest princess, Tan Tai Jin Yu, who was on the stage, said in a cold voice, "I haven't given a speech for His Majesty's funeral yet, why are you so anxious?"

"Sit down, everyone sit down."

She was rude to the people from the Punishment Department who had just barged in, and said, "This is the funeral ceremony for His Majesty. Please go out and don't disturb His Majesty's sleep."

Ye Shijie laughed and said, "You still want to give a speech? Do you really think of yourself as the eldest princess?"

The eldest princess looked very angry and said, "I am the eldest princess! Where did you come from, you jerk? Get out of here!"

Ye Shijie laughed and said, "It's exposed! The princess would never say such vulgar words!"

"You are not the eldest princess at all! You are the eldest princess's substitute!"

As he spoke, his eyes flashed as he looked at a female security guard in her thirties who was sitting next to the seat where the eldest princess had just sat.

The security guard had an indescribable aura just sitting there.

It wasn't obvious if you didn't look closely, but now that everyone looked over, they suddenly realized that her sitting posture was different from the security guards next to her, as if she stood out from the crowd.

Ye Shijie raised his chin and said to the man, "Your Highness, Princess, why do you want to pretend to be a security guard?"

"This is a high mass in the church...Are you still afraid that someone will threaten your life?"

"You cherish your life so much. Have you done too many bad things and are worried that others will retaliate?"

Xia Chujian, who was hiding next to the mural on the roof of the church, was stunned.

She actually didn't know that Ye Shijie, a good man who always acted cautiously and never offended anyone, could also have such a sharp side!

Ye Shijie's words stunned everyone present.

They also looked at the female security guard sitting in the second row.

Originally, the Queen, Tan Tai Yu Gui, Ying Wu Xin and the eldest princess were all sitting in the second row.

The first row in front of them, the third row behind them, and the seats on both sides of the second row were all occupied by their security personnel.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess was still not at ease, and took the initiative to pretend to be a security guard, sitting in the second row, next to the stand-in, and attended the funeral!

No wonder the stand-in for the eldest princess standing on the stage was dressed in black with a long veil and headscarf, wrapping herself so tightly that even her eyes were not visible!

However, the substitute should have been carefully selected, because her figure is indeed very similar to that of the eldest princess.

On the contrary, the eldest princess, who was disguised as an ordinary security guard, made herself look rather fat and strong, which was completely different from her real appearance.

To the extent that everyone thought that the person behind the podium on the altar was the real princess, and no one noticed the tough female security guard sitting below.

This disguise...

Tsk, you really cherish your life!

The stand-in standing there was still full of momentum at the beginning.

Now that he found out that someone had recognized the real princess, he was suddenly at a loss and his panic was visibly evident.

Ye Shijie raised his head and shouted angrily: "Catch the bitch who disguised herself as Her Royal Highness the Princess and confused the royal bloodline!"

As soon as he gave an order, four high-level genetic evolvers immediately jumped out from behind him and flew up to the podium on the altar.

The princess’ substitute was arrested directly.

The double did intend to resist, but when she moved, the high priest simply extended his hand, and she was unable to move, and she watched helplessly as four men rushed to her and pulled off her headscarf and veil.

Behind the veil, it is still the eldest princess's face.

She has a kind of flamboyant beauty, but lacks the signature hooked nose of the Tantai royal family.

However, the inheritance of a hooked nose is not absolute.

Only half of the royal family have inherited the hooked nose.

That is to say, half of the people do not have hooked noses.

It’s just that there seems to be an unwritten tradition in the royal family, that is, only those with the genetic trait of a hooked nose have the hope of ascending the throne.

The facial feature of the hooked nose has a long history in the royal family.

Looking at the eldest princess's face, everyone felt that even if she didn't voluntarily give up the throne, she would have no chance of becoming the emperor, because she didn't inherit the ancestral hooked nose...

For a moment, everyone had different thoughts as they watched the four high-level gene evolvers from the Punishment Department take the eldest princess' substitute away from the altar.

Ye Shijie walked up to the princess who was disguised as a security guard, put his hands behind his back and said, "Your Highness, Princess, in the name of the captain of the action team of the Xingchaoruo City Punishment Department, I am now formally arresting you."

"You are suspected of murdering 320 members of the Ying Baron family 20 years ago."

"Please come back with us to assist in the investigation."

There will be a new update at 5:05 am.

PS: Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
