Chapter 696 The Crown Princess is not the late emperor’s biological daughter!
The Liao emperor was seriously ill and unable to govern the country, so the empress dowager took the opportunity to control the government. The princes and ministers were dissatisfied, and there was chaos inside and outside the court.
The princes framed each other and fought to the death, all of them were bloodthirsty.
At this moment, rumors that came from nowhere added fuel to the fierce struggle and set it on fire, burning the entire Liao Kingdom.
Have you heard?
The princess is not the late emperor’s biological daughter!
She is the daughter of the traitor Xiao Jue!
It's the illegitimate child of Xiao Jue and the Queen Mother's affair!
The Queen Mother cheated on the late Emperor!
The princess killed her own father, this is against the will of heaven!
Hey!
Good guy!
What a great guy!
The rumor spread more and more.
I heard that His Majesty was so angry that he vomited blood again.
When they heard that the Queen Mother had gone mad, they sent troops to suppress the rumors.
I heard that the princes were excited and clamored to depose the princess and appoint another one.
The whole court was in an uproar.
The Queen Mother refused to acknowledge that the Crown Princess was Xiao Jue's son, and was certain that someone was trying to shake the Crown Princess' position as Crown Prince!
Besides, there is no evidence to prove that the princess is Xiao Jue’s daughter!
The late emperor and Xiao Jue are both dead. Do we still have to dig up their bodies and drip blood to identify their relationship?
Even blood test cannot confirm that the two are biological children. This has been proven by the previous dynasty.
Therefore, no one can prove the identity of the princess.
Unless the Queen Mother admits it herself!
However, the Queen Mother's remarks did not convince everyone. Regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, the princes would not let Xiao Qiyue continue to be the Crown Princess.
Although there are ministers in the court who support the princes, there are also ministers who support the Crown Princess. Moreover, there is also the Queen Mother. Even if she is dissatisfied with the Crown Princess, she does not want the throne to fall into the head of another prince.
Things remained at a standstill until...
"Master, it's bad, the young master is missing!"
Ji Nian is missing! And she disappeared in the mansion.
It's obvious that there is a traitor in the house!
"Snapped!--"
"Look for her! Dig three feet deep to find her."
Di Ran's cold voice was like ice.
……
The fight for the throne is becoming increasingly fierce, and the tight string will eventually break.
Sure enough, three nights later.
The eldest prince, together with the fifth and sixth princes, forced the emperor to abdicate and seized the throne. The second and fourth princes joined in the fight to remove the emperor's followers. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, with blood flowing like a river. Compared to the blood-throwing outside the palace, the palace seemed very calm, as calm as a sign of impending storm.
The Summer Palace, the sleeping palace of the Liao emperor
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
"All of you, get out of here."
As soon as Empress Dowager Mu Qingrong stepped into the palace, she ordered the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to be taken away.
Those who were unwilling to leave were dragged away by the guards, which shows that the empress dowager has the final say in this palace.
Emperor Xiao Yan of Liao was lying half-dead on the bed. He seemed to hear the noise outside, but was unable to get up due to his body condition.
"Your Majesty has been ill for a long time."
There was undisguised sarcasm and malice in his voice.
Xiao Yan struggled to get up, but his body wouldn't allow it. He looked at the woman who was approaching with cold eyes.
"The Queen Mother is not staying in the palace. What do you want to see me for?"
"Why, I can't come to see you if nothing happens?"
Mu Qingrong walked forward slowly, leaned over slightly, and gently stroked Xiao Yan's pale and thin face. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she was as gentle and affectionate as a lover.
"Is this necessary between you and me?"
"Didn't you say you liked me? If you liked me, why did you spread rumors like that?"
Xiao Yan's eyelids drooped slightly: "I don't understand what the Queen Mother said."
"not understand?"
Mu Qingrong pinched his jaw and sneered, "No one knows about that except you and me. If it wasn't you who spread it, who else would have spread it?"
"Xiao Yan, do you think you can defeat me like this? You are dreaming!"
Mu Qingrong shook her hand off and stood up, saying nonchalantly: "In fact, it doesn't matter if you spread it out. Who can prove that the princess is not the blood of the previous emperor?"
"Even if she is not the blood of the previous emperor, so what? She has the blood of your Xiao family. According to the ancestral teachings of the Liao Kingdom, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, anyone with the ability can compete for the supreme position."
"How can I be a traitor?"
"Snapped!--"
Mu Qingrong slapped Xiao Yan on the face and stared at him, seeming to be angry and humiliated.
"Who are you calling a traitor?"
