Yanmenchun

Chapter 214

Shen Tuchan suddenly got up from the chair and confirmed: "The emperor is dead?"

Jiang Lan nodded and said, "That's right, just now."

Shen Tuchan looked nervous: "Who is here? Can you leave a will?"

Jiang Lan smiled: "The empress, Yuwenji, and ministers of Gu Ming are all here. The crown prince ascends the throne, so there is no need to observe filial piety for three years. The orthodox heir is the most important thing. The concubine should give birth to the emperor's son as soon as possible."

Shen Tuchan looked at Jiang Lan in astonishment, it was absolutely impossible for the emperor to say such words, and the emperor still had a dream of immortality.

Jiang Lan smiled treacherously, Shen Tuchan frowned: "You did it?"

Jiang Lan didn't answer, she was surprised again: "How did you do it under the eyes of everyone?"

Jiang Lan sat down on a chair beside her: "You coax me, I'll tell you."

At this time, the palace may have become a mess, Princess Tai'an's carriage may also be driven into the palace, Jiang Lan still has the leisure to tease Shen Tuchan here.

Being able to make such big moves in the palace, and even Kou Wuniang didn't say such a long word just now, it shows that Jiang Lan was responsible for all this.

Shen Tuchan pinched his face and said: "Your Highness, tell me, if you don't tell me, I will guess it."

Jiang Lan put her face in her palm and looked up at her: "Then you guess first."

Shen Tuchan pinched the bridge of his high nose again: "Master Yudi, is it actually yours?"

He was able to get so close to the emperor without being discovered, and he said before that Hu Dao could hold Yuwenji back. The way to hold Yuwenji back should be to make the emperor sick. Even just now, Jiang Lan was talking nonsense and took her with her in a few days. Back to Dajin.

Seeing that she guessed it, Jiang Lan was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have been thinking about sending people to the emperor since I entered the Great Zhou Dynasty. The screening of concubines is strict, and maids and eunuchs cannot climb up in a short time."

So he came up with such a crooked idea to send a female Taoist in the name of Taoism.

Speaking of this, Shen Tuchan was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't Master Yudi a real Taoist priest?"

Even she was confused, Jiang Lan laughed: "No, it's just a prostitute from Dajin, who knows some tricks."

Shen Tuchan nodded, no wonder.

Yuwen really wanted to send someone to the emperor's side, and wanted to control the emperor's lifeline, and Jiang Lan wanted to too, so he made a plan as soon as possible.

Yuwen is most likely still complacent about his own strategy. I am afraid that the only thing that surprised him was the emperor's last oral order, because he probably didn't intend to let Princess Tai'an give birth to a child.

The emperor passed away, Yu Wenji was about to become the new emperor, and Princess Tai'an was about to realize her dream of becoming the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that this queen doesn't matter much now, as long as she gives birth to a child, no matter whether the child will be a prince or not, she can be regarded as the legitimate Queen of Great Zhou.

Princess Tai'an had already stepped on a rope that could fall down at any time, she had to either hold Qin Jun and give birth to Yuwenji's child, or abandon Qin Jun directly.

Shen Tuchan sighed silently, the best way is of course the former, give birth to Yuwenji's child, get the support of the Qin family, Yuwenji dies, and the harem listens to the government behind the curtain.

Although it may not be Princess Taian who will hang the curtain at that time, as long as Yu Wenji dies and the young master ascends the throne, she will have a lot of hope.

Shen Tuchan was not from Great Zhou, so she didn't have to cry for the emperor, but Princess Tai'an, as the crown princess, could not avoid this calamity.

Not only did she have to cry with the queen, but she also had to avoid Qin Jun.

It is impossible for political affairs to stop temporarily with the death of the old emperor, and Yu Wenji ascended the throne smoothly.

Empress Qin became the queen mother, and Princess Tai'an became the new queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Shen Tuchan had just entered the palace when Queen Yi's clothes were delivered.

She walked calmly, when the maids in the palace saw her coming in, all of them bowed and said: "Master."

She is a popular person in front of Empress Jiang, and she has never heard of Empress Jiang blushing towards her since she came to Da Zhou.

Princess Tai'an was holding Yiyi clothes to see, when she saw Shentuchan coming over she said with a smile: "Shentu, look."

Shen Tuchan saluted respectfully: "Congratulations, empress."

Princess Tai'an had a complacent expression on her face, and said with a smile: "You and I don't have to be like this."

She knew that Shen Tuchan helped her get everything she got today, without Shen Tuchan, I am afraid she would not be where she is today.

Shen Tuchan got up and walked to her and said, "I'll change clothes for your empress."

Queen Yi's clothes are luxurious and heavy, and the oriental beads on the phoenix crown are huge and bright. Princess Tai'an has changed her clothes, but Shen Tuchan has not helped her put on the phoenix crown.

Princess Taian hugged the heavy phoenix crown in her arms, she seemed to have a thousand words, but in the end she just sighed: "Shentu, my concubine mother once said that the queen mother is the most successful queen in the world, she does not compete for favor, She only fights for power, has a long-term vision, and raised two sons and one daughter in the deep palace with ruthless methods. She said that she knew that the queen mother must be the winner in the palace wall since she successfully gave birth to the prince and brother five. No one can beat her, Shentu, can I become a person like her? I also became a queen."

Shen Tuchan smiled, and said with incomparable sincerity: "Yes, you will do better than the empress."

She took the phoenix crown from Princess Tai'an's hand, and signaled the maid on the side with her eyes to put on the crown for Princess Tai'an.

Jiang's Yuanzhi, Princess Tai'an of the Jin Kingdom, is now the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her mother is the world's most respected.

When Shen Tuchan helped Princess Tai'an out of the palace, she said in Princess Tai'an's ear: "Your Majesty, Qin Jun wants to know your identity."

It was inevitable, Princess Tai'an held Shentuchan's hand tightly: "We can't let him lose his composure at the ceremony."

Her voice was barely audible by the end.

Shen Tuchan's gaze fell on her sternly made-up face: "So we have to do something."

Princess Tai'an looked ahead and said in a low voice, "I'll listen to you, let's go."

The two had just left the gate of the palace, when Princess Tai'an was going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to receive the worship of the courtiers, Shen Tuchan lightly opened her hand, and the queen walked down the steps without stopping.

Shen Tuchan stood on the porch and watched them walk away.

Qin Jun has the title of a fifth-rank general on his body, so he will also be present at the empress ceremony.

He hadn't seen Jiang Yuanzhi for many days, the emperor passed away and Yu Wenji succeeded him, he was a little worried about her.

But before he got to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a little maid came to him and said that the empress wanted to see him.

He couldn't help being a little lost. His aunt, Empress Qin, had already been conferred the title of empress dowager. It should be said that the empress dowager wanted to see him. After thinking about it, it was impossible for the Princess of Jin, who was about to hold the empress ceremony today, to see him.

He laughed for a moment, but the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly froze.

Even if he didn't care about the previous dynasty, he also knew that the surname of the Jin Dynasty was Jiang, and Jiang Yuanzhi had said that she was a princess.

In the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is only one princess with a different surname, and that is the current crown princess, Princess Taian who married from afar.

No, it's the queen now, and the queen's surname is Jiang.
