After Qin Tai fei’s body was buried in the imperial tomb, the personal eunuch of the Emperor, Lu Gong, walked up to Chu Li’s group.


After approaching, he bowed toward Chu Li and the others, “The Emperor would you all to go to Jingming Hall.”


After that, Lu Gong walked away.


Yunjin stood to one side, bit her lip, looked at Chu Li, and narrowed her eyes again.


Jingming Hall, that was the place of the earlier dynasties.


…


…


After returning to the palace, Yunjin stood under the steps outside Jingming Hall, and found that there were many ministers in official uniforms walking towards the hall.


“Chu Li, you go ahead first.” Yunjin said to Chu Li next to her.


Chu Li glanced at her, and saw her look like a goddess. His lips smiled gracefully, “Wait for this prince here.”


“Um.” Yunjin nodded heavily, stretched out Chu Li’s sleeves, and spoke comfortably. “It’ll be okay.”


When Chu Li heard this solemn tone, he laughed a little, his smile deepened, cuffed her chin, and turned towards Jingming Hall.


Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li’s back, holding her hands together. She leaned on the stone pillar to one side, pursed her lips, trying to calm herself down, hoping to hear something from inside while she waited.


Mu Xiang had changed into his official uniform after the funeral. At this time, he came hurriedly, glanced at Yunjin in the corner near the steps, and walked over, “Yunjin, why are you here?”


“I’m waiting for Chu Li.” she answered naturally.


Mu Xiang’s face was a little dull, and he didn’t say much. “Then you pay attention here.”


After that, he entered the Jingming Hall.


…


…


At this time, Jingming Hall was filled with a sense of anticipation.


Emperor Ximing, who had put on his dragon robe, entered the hall, sat on the dragon chair in the middle of the hall, and frowned, looking at the people below.


“Long live the emperor.” Everyone bowed down.


“The court officials are excused.” Emperor Ximing said.


Everyone got up.


Emperor Ximing put his hands on the chair, his eyes fell on the princes standing to one side, and he coughed softly. “In the past few days, my mother died of illness. I have been thinking over a lot of things in my grief.”


“The world is impermanent, and I don’t know if I will leave suddenly someday. After thinking about it, I convened all the princes and ministers today to announce something.”


Everyone was silent and their eyes zoned in on the Emperor Ximing. Most of them could guess what he would say next.


“Time flies, and I have only recently discovered that my sons have grown up …”


The Emperor Ximing didn’t continue to talk anymore. He raised his fists and looked down at Mu Xiang, who headed the right faction. “Prime Minister, read this imperial decree.”


Mu Xiang froze, slowly nodded, and came forward. The emperor who was sat above him, bent over and handed him a yellow imperial edict.


Mu Xiang took the imperial edict, but felt that it was extremely heavy. After taking a deep breath, he slowly opened it.


After glancing at the above content, his face became rigid, but he reacted quickly and began to read out the contents of the imperial edict. He was about to speak, then thought of Yunjin who was still standing outside the hall, and he could not help but increase his voice.


“As decreed by his majesty.” ”Since he came to power, he has taken the country as the most important thing and never dared to take any leisure’s. Now, he has been in charge for more than thirty-five years, and has gradually become physically exhausted. The sons standing here today are outstanding, and there are many people who have the courage and ability to take on the role of great responsibility. Therefore, after thinking about it, the fourth prince Chu Ye is a good person with good morals and thoughtfulness, and he is the best candidate to take over in the East Palace. We hope Prince Chu Ye, in the future will be blessed with a long life and not hesitate in his duties towards the country and its people.”
