Chapter 1856 I don't recognize her
When Prime Minister Shen announced that he was inviting someone to the palace, many people did not know who he was inviting.
The Crown Prince and others, however, knew this.
"You may not know this, but because the Emperor was unwell, the Prime Minister made a suggestion just one day ago, saying that someone should be selected to temporarily take over the government."
The Crown Prince immediately laid out the matter.
Although that's the gist of the story, the way he described it made everyone feel uncomfortable.
They couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Shen.
Is this the right thing to do?
Even if the emperor is ill, it's not appropriate to ask an outsider to temporarily take over the administration of the state, is it?
Isn't His Highness the Crown Prince still here?
Besides, is the Emperor really going to fall seriously ill and never recover? Only one day has passed; can't we wait any longer?
This makes it seem like Prime Minister Shen is being too hasty.
Seeing that the Crown Prince had said this, Prime Minister Shen simply stepped forward as well.
"His Majesty's illness is severe this time, and both Imperial Physician Tan and the Assistant Physician are helpless. I am also very worried. However, a major event has just occurred. If no one is in charge of the court, I am afraid that some people will take advantage of the situation and stir up trouble."
"The reason I proposed to bring this person out to temporarily manage state affairs is because his identity is legitimate, and although he made mistakes in the past, it has now been found out that he was framed back then. He has returned this time precisely to clear his name of those crimes."
Everyone couldn't help but ask.
"Who is Prime Minister Shen referring to?"
Although everyone asked this question, their hearts sank deeper and deeper.
This suggests that the Emperor's condition is very serious, and it is unlikely that he will ever fully recover.
If the emperor hadn't been facing a life-or-death situation, these key figures in the court wouldn't have been so eager to take action.
Prime Minister Shen said, "Just invite him to the palace. I've already sent someone to bring him in."
The prince's eyes flashed.
This person only received the news and found out who the other party was before entering the hall.
He was also surprised.
But upon reflection, it was exactly what I expected.
After all, when it comes to a respectable social status, there's no one else besides him.
A man walked in slowly, under the watchful eyes of the officials.
He was a handsome young man who looked somewhat similar to the Crown Prince.
Many people present felt that he looked somewhat familiar and had a kind face, but they had no idea who he was.
However, there was one thing they all thought of in their hearts—
Is this royal blood?
After all, they were clearly from the Zhou family.
The prince stood there, watching the young man approach step by step.
He hadn't seen his younger brother for many years.
"Let me introduce you all, this is the Third Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Yi!"
The crowd erupted in uproar.
The third prince!
"Wasn't the Third Prince already demoted to a commoner? Moreover, the Emperor Emeritus ordered him to stay in Subei and never set foot in the capital again!" Lord Chen shouted.
Zhou Yi knew that the prince and princess had met him when they went to Subei, and had even clashed with him a few times.
If Zhou Yi were a good person, the prince and princess would have exonerated him as soon as they returned to the capital. Why wait until now?
Moreover, it was Prime Minister Shen who brought them here!
Lord Chen is wholeheartedly devoted to Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling; he only needs to judge them by their actions.
If they don't speak up for someone the prince and princess approve of, then they're not one of their own!
So when he saw Zhou Yi, he couldn't help but shout it out.
Many people nodded in agreement.
That's right, it was a done deal back then.
The Third Prince's rebellion was a serious crime.
They had long since gotten used to the absence of the Third Prince.
The sudden appearance of the Third Prince has left them all in a difficult situation to accept.
The crown prince didn't speak; he just stood there looking at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi seemed not to hear the sounds filling the hall, and his gaze met his.
"Brother, it's been a long time," Zhou Yi said.
By using this title, he is acknowledging his identity.
Prime Minister Shen looked at the handsome and dashing Zhou Yi, his gaze deepening slightly, and then addressed the officials.
“The Third Prince was young at the time and was instigated by someone with ulterior motives. In addition, his maternal family was cursed by an evil cultivator and was deliberately led astray. That was not the Third Prince’s original intention.”
"Over the years, the Third Prince has been diligently practicing martial arts in Subei, reflecting on his past mistakes, and constantly repenting. When Prince Jin went to Subei, he also met with the Third Prince. The uncle and nephew had a very pleasant conversation. Prince Jin also encouraged the Third Prince, saying that the Emperor Emeritus had always taught them that although they were in the royal family, family ties were the most important!"
"Therefore, as long as the Third Prince truly wants to change and genuinely misses his family, he will be allowed to return to the capital."
The crowd erupted in uproar again.
"The Prince definitely didn't say such a thing!" Lord Chen exclaimed, jumping up and down.
What a joke!
If His Highness had really said that, he would have already spoken up to exonerate the Third Prince, right?
The prince never mentioned it again after returning to the capital!
Besides, he knows Prince Jin very well. Prince Jin is a very petty and vengeful person. After the Third Prince did such a thing back then, how could Prince Jin be so kind to him?
Besides, Prince Jin's mouth is so sharp it's a miracle he doesn't verbally kill people, yet he's having such a pleasant conversation with the Third Prince.
Dogs don't believe it!
Lin Rong's heart sank slightly.
After shouting those words, Lord Chen seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked at Lin Rong.
No, wait a minute, why would Prime Minister Shen dare to spout such nonsense in public? Isn't he afraid that Prince Jin will personally show up and slap him in the face?
unless.......
Unless the Prince of Jin has no other way to embarrass Prime Minister Shen!
Has something happened to the prince?
Lin Rong met Lord Chen's questioning gaze and shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either. However, the people from the Prince's Mansion had told him to protect the Crown Prince and help him.
Lord Chen's face turned pale.
If something happens to the prince, what about the princess?
Where is the princess?
Lu Zhaoling was just coming out of the Judge's Hall.
Xiao Hei didn't come back last night, and there was no news from Yin Yunting either; she couldn't wait any longer.
Although she couldn't sense any reaction from the talisman on Zhou Shiyue's body, and he should still be alive, Lu Zhaoling couldn't calm down.
What if, what if she waits until the talisman moves before she goes? Then it will be too late to do anything.
Last night she sneaked off to sleep in the underworld again, and as a result, she didn't dream at all that night.
Lu Zhaoling carried a bag, putting all the talismans she had drawn yesterday inside.
She ran in the direction Xiao Hei had pointed out yesterday.
She ran for a while when a ghostly messenger floated over and stopped her.
"Who goes there? Wait, a person? A living person?"
This ghost messenger was one of the few who didn't recognize Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling had never met him either.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?" she said politely.
"How did you, a perfectly healthy person, end up in the underworld? It's not like your soul left your body, so what's going on?"
The ghost messenger looked at her with considerable curiosity.
"I'm busy right now, I'll explain later."
"Where are you going?" The ghost messenger quickly stopped her again.
