Early the next morning, news came from the palace that although he had inherited the throne, he had not been officially enthroned, and there was no official announcement from the new emperor to attend court one day.

After learning the news, almost everyone in the capital was shocked.

You know, the new emperor was suddenly diagnosed with a terminal illness before the enthronement ceremony. Even if his condition was later controlled, he could only lie in bed and rest. The Queen Mother and Taiwei Lin handled all government affairs. Suddenly, there was news that the new emperor wanted to

All the officials were obviously shocked and confused by what happened in the early morning court.

Some people even secretly speculated whether the new emperor had deliberately pretended to be ill to deceive the world, and was secretly carrying out some plans, or to observe whether the ministers were loyal. If this was the case, some people would be in trouble, especially those with strong opinions.

Those who oppose the new emperor's succession.

Hearing the news, Lin Yufen, Lin Bingquan and Zhang Lianwu were the most shocked and couldn't believe it.

Two days ago, a palace maid reported that Sima Chun was terminally ill and was about to die soon. How could he still have the mind and energy to summon hundreds of officials to court?

It is absolutely true that Sima Chun has an incurable disease that cannot be cured. Could it be that he had forgotten his last wish by doing this suddenly? Or is it related to the rumors they heard this morning?

Is that person really back? Is it true that as the rumors say, that person not only holds the late emperor's edict, but also leads hundreds of thousands of troops back to Beijing, hoping to seize the power they finally obtained?

No! They will never allow it!

So before Sima Chun's order came to order them to go to court, Lin Yufeng and Lin Bingquan hurried to the Jinluan Palace with gloomy faces.

Zhang Lianwu urgently sent a message to the three hall masters, Juechen Palace Zuohufa and Feng Leizhu, ordering the four of them to lead all their subordinates to return to the palace immediately to prevent any changes.

Also receiving news from the early dynasty were Xu Yushi and others, as well as some ministers who had already served as officials at home. These people were either loyal to the late emperor and reprimanded Sima Chun for plotting to usurp the throne, or they were feared by Sima Chun and others, so Sima Chun and others tried their best to find

Using excuses, these people were dismissed and demoted. This time, they were all summoned to the palace by Sima Chun.

In Luoxia Palace.

Seeing Lan Jue brought back from the Qinzheng Palace, Sima Chun wrote in his own hand that she must attend the morning court, saying that he would give her a letter of explanation. Qingyun's brows were deeply furrowed, and her beautiful face was as quiet as a pool of water, which made people feel

I can't tell what she is thinking.

Ling'er, Li Feixue and others looked at Qingyun with worried and confused faces. They wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say.

Gently holding Qingyun's hand, Mo Xuan, who had returned to his original appearance, looked calm, and his charming eyes were as clear, peaceful and far-reaching as the autumn sky.

The warm and firm feeling from the palm of her hand made Qingyun's mind move. She put away her complex emotions and looked sideways at Mo Xuan beside her. The unchanging tenderness and doting lingered tightly in her heart. She couldn't help but smile, thinking of Sima

Chun sighed softly again: "He is just a poor person."

Sima Chun was originally a pawn in Lin Yufang's fight for favor and power. He lived under Lin Yufeng's resentment and lust all his life. Even though Sima Chun had extraordinary abilities and great ambitions, there was nothing he could do.

Now that he has an incurable disease, he suffers pain every day and every night, as well as the indifference and use of his relatives. It is so pitiful and pitiful.

"Everyone has his own destiny. Since it was his choice, he can't blame anyone, and you don't have to feel sorry for him."

"I'm not sad for him, I just sympathize with him. He has been a chess piece in the hands of others all his life, and at such a young age..." Qingyun shook her head slightly, with a calm and calm expression showing a hint of pity. He was so solemn and filled with emotions in his heart.

When she saw Sima Chun last night, she clearly noticed that Sima Chun seemed to have changed a lot. Perhaps it was because he knew that he did not have much time to live, or perhaps it was the indifference and calculation of his relatives after he fell ill that completely chilled his heart, and he suddenly came to his senses. As for the whole person, he is completely different from before.

Because of Mo Xuan, and because she understood that Sima Chun could not help himself, she had gradually let go of her hatred for Sima Chun.

Just seeing the once high-spirited Sima Chun now so thin and decadent, waiting alone for the moment of death, I sighed for a moment.

Qingyun sighed again: "That's all, as you said, this is his choice and he can't blame anyone!" After a pause, he said majestically: "No matter what Sima Chun's intention is to suddenly summon all the officials to attend the morning meeting, we all We must be fully prepared, especially to prevent Lin Bingquan and Zhang Lianwu from making a desperate move at the end of the road. After all, they are very scheming and vicious. After learning that we have returned to Beijing, they will definitely not sit still and wait for death. There will inevitably be a fight. A bloody battle of life and death, as for Lin Yufeng..."

Speaking of this, Qingyun stopped, and there was a quiet and cold expression between her eyebrows, as well as a hint of complexity.

Everyone has the right to love and be loved. In order to get the heart and affection of the person he loves, Lin Yufen becomes paranoid and even resorts to any means. It can only be said that her way is different, but it cannot be measured by right or wrong, let alone to protect her. Living in the home of the one she loves, Lin Yufeng did not hesitate to fight in the same room as her biological father.

However, Lin Yufeng must repay Lin Yufeng's hatred for poisoning and murdering her biological mother, for framed her and harming those around her in her previous life!

"Long Ying, lead people to closely monitor Lin Yufeng and the mysterious man hiding next to her. Don't act rashly without my order!"

Long Ying was seriously injured by that person last time, and Lin Yufeng also had martial arts skills, so she had to be careful.

Based on her description, Murong Qingyi was not 100% sure whether that person was the person he knew. After all, that person had passed away many years ago, but he had repeatedly warned her that if she met that person, avoid it if she could. If you can't avoid it, be sure to handle it with caution.

Of course, Murong Qingyi didn't know that at that time, the purple guards and the secret guards had undergone strict special training. They might not be the opponent of that person if they fought alone, but what the purple guards and secret guards were best at was fighting together, and their moves were clean and neat. Never be sloppy, even a top-notch expert will either die or be captured when faced with the siege of the purple guards and secret guards.

"I obey the order!" Long Ying responded respectfully and disappeared instantly.

"The rest of the people will strictly follow the previous plan without making any mistakes and ensure their own safety! Do you remember everything?"

"Wei Chen (subordinates) have all remembered it!" everyone said in unison.

His clear eyes glanced at everyone present one by one. Qingyun's eyes and brows contained an intimidating look, and his whole body exuded an innate aura. He waved his hand, and everyone bowed respectfully before leaving quickly.

The Jinluan Hall was almost full of people, much more than those who had attended the early morning court in the past. There were even several veterans who were over sixty years old, members of the royal family with little power, and those who had recently received the new emperor's decree and had to come from the palace. Several vassal kings rushed back to the capital from their fiefdoms.

Some ministers standing in the front whispered to exchange their opinions, while officials with low official positions or timid officials shrank behind and did not dare to discuss with the important ministers. However, everyone knew vaguely that something big was going to happen today.

.

Judging from where they stood, these civil and military ministers were divided into four factions.

One group is around Lin Bingquan, another group is around Zhang Zishan, another group is around Prince Rui, Taifu Han and Marquis Hu Guo, and there is also a group that seems to be independent of the three groups. There are not many people, including those veterans who are over sixty years old.

And some royal family members, as for those vassal kings, they obviously chose King Rui's faction.

The first two factions, who had fought so hard a few days ago, were now staring at King Rui and the others with intent, looking wary and confused.

Staring at Prince Rui and others, Lin Bingquan's eyes were fierce, his lips pursed into a straight line, and his hands under his official robe could be vaguely clenched into fists.

Aren't these people imprisoned in a sky jail? How could they come to attend the morning court?

He was sure that this was definitely the dying grandson's idea. What exactly did the grandson want to do?

"The Emperor has arrived...the Queen Mother has arrived..." The eunuch's sharp and high-pitched voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and almost everyone turned their eyes to the dragon chair, which represented the highest power and supreme honor.

As a sound of footsteps came, Sima Chun, who had not been seen for nearly a month, slowly walked in wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with the support of two eunuchs. Sima Chun had not seen the sun for many days, and Sima Chun's complexion looked dark and skinny.

Her eyes became more protruding and deeper, her lips were as red as blood, and the originally tailor-made dragon robe became looser on her body.

Lin Yufeng came next, holding the hand of the palace maid, with a gorgeous face, a golden robe pinned to her black silk bun, long beads swaying on her temples, and a golden phoenix robe embroidered with hundreds of birds facing the phoenix.

It makes the whole person look graceful and noble, except for a hint of melancholy between the brows.

"I will join you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

Except for the faction headed by Prince Rui who still stood still, the rest of the people knelt down and saluted.

"Everyone is safe!"

Glancing at Sima Rui, who had a stern expression full of mockery and indifference, a secretive dark light flashed across Sima Chun's eyes.

He knew that Sima Rui also loved Jiu'er deeply and would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for Jiu'er, just as he saw in his dream. Unfortunately, Sima Rui had already married Xu Kexin and was destined to have no connection with Jiu'er.

In a blink of an eye, Sima Chun looked down at the ministers, his tone was surprisingly calm: "Come here, announce the decree."

"Wait!"

Sima Chun frowned and looked sideways at Lin Yufan, who was sitting one step behind on the left: "I am the current emperor, and it is extremely graceful for me to allow a woman from the harem to enter the Jinluan Palace, but I was stopped by the palace.

I have announced the imperial edict, do you know what crime your mother and concubine has committed?"

The eyes as deep as the abyss, the indifferent tone, and the demeanor that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, inexplicably gave Lin Yuyan an unknown feeling in his heart.

The person in front of her was no longer the emperor who had obeyed her since she was a child, but an emperor who exuded indifference and majesty from his core. She suddenly felt a little strange, so strange that she was a little scared.
