Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 560 Fighting for the throne

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said, I know that the disease is dying, and the life and blessings of tomorrow will be exhausted, so why worry about my husband's recovery? The Great Zhou opened up the frontiers and expanded the land, but I have both the protection and governance, so why do I hate the husband? Xiaoli Tianzhi, obeying the ancestors above, and compassionate to the subjects below. He must be able to inherit the emperor's career, pass on the throne, and abide by it as one. The funeral ceremony should be simple, and the day will change the moon.

Shen Yiyu was stunned after reading the imperial edict from Sikong Yu, and didn't even hear Shen Yihuan's inquiry.

"What's wrong? What's the difference?" Shen Yihuan saw that Shen Yiyu was in a daze, so he grabbed the edict and read it silently from beginning to end, "This..."

"This handwriting was indeed from my father... the first emperor." Shen Yiyu said coldly with a blank face. He was not used to calling his father the first emperor, and he left without believing what good people said.

"Show me that edict again???" Shen Yihuan read the edict announced by Su Gonggong without waiting for the prince's consent, and handed the two edicts to Su Gonggong for comparison, "Eunuch, Look again!!!"

"This... this old slave doesn't even know..." Eunuch Su was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, father-in-law, this king just wants to find out what happened." Shen Yihuan asked while carefully observing the will, "The last edict was written by the late emperor himself?"

"It should be. The old slave is just taking care of the preservation on behalf of the late emperor, and the old slave has never helped the late emperor to summon the civil servants who wrote the documents." Su Gonggong was so frightened that his voice trembled, "The old slave would never dare to have such a big event. Missed a bit."

"That means you can't be sure which one is my father's original intention?" Shen Yiyu was full of doubts. He didn't understand why his father had to write two versions of the imperial edict, whether it was to test him or to set him free ?
"As His Royal Highness said, it's hard for an old slave to judge." Eunuch Su's tone became much calmer. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with him. He would not dare to forge a will if he borrowed a hundred of his guts. It's not just that killing the nine clans can pay off the debt It's over.

"Prince, what should I do with this letter...?" Shen Yihuan gave Shen Yiyu the edict containing the third son of the emperor. This kind of matter involving the succession of the throne is related to the stability of the world, and there is no room for any mistakes.

Just as everyone was holding their breaths to know the authenticity of the two edicts, a woman rushed into the crowd kneeling in peace, wantonly pulling on her filial piety.

"Don't wear..."

"All off for this princess..."

"Who told you to wear this ominous thing..."

"You are not allowed to curse my royal father..."

"Father, Father, I'm afraid..."

Shen Yihan was tearing up with others while crying, and the surrounding officials and palace people dared not speak out.

"Han'er, stop making trouble." Murong Jingyu yelled at Shen Yihan while coaxing Jiu'er in his arms. He didn't want to tell her because he was afraid that she would act like this. Suspicious glass heart.

"Jingyu, why did you guys team up to lie to me?" Seeing it with her own eyes, Shen Yihan still didn't want to believe that this white crowd was dressed in filial piety for her father.

"Master, we know you are sad, but..." Huier hugged Shen Yihan, not wanting her master to be like a shrew, but before she could finish her comforting words, she was pushed to the ground by him.

"Han'er, you scared Jiu'er." The baby in Murong Jingyu's arms burst into tears, as if the young life felt her mother's grief.

"Han'er, the late emperor walked away peacefully. If he sees you like this in heaven, he will be sad." Shen Yihuan stretched out his hand to help Shen Yihan tidy up her messy hair.

"Huan, he left in such a hurry that he didn't wait for me..." Shen Yihan hugged Shen Yihuan like a child, and didn't care about the strange eyes of the people around him, let alone whether the son-in-law was happy or not.

"Han'er, good boy, you don't want... the former emperor is sad, right?" Shen Yihuan stretched out his hands and pushed Shen Yihan away from his heart. At this tender moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, one should hide one's heart deeply.

"My father walked... very peacefully?" Shen Yihan asked with tears in his eyes.

Shen Yihuan nodded resolutely, "Han'er, go to Yongyan Hall to accompany Concubine Xuan, she needs your company most now."

"No, I want to accompany my father, I have to mourn for him." Shen Yihan picked up the mourning clothes that had been torn off earlier and put them on his body.

"Brother-in-law, hurry up and send my sister and the child to Yongyan Hall, the child is too young, this occasion is not suitable." Shen Yiyu felt very upset when she heard the little princess's heartbreaking cry.

"Okay, I'll go back as soon as I go." Murong Jingyu stuffed Jiu'er into Hui'er's arms, then hugged Shen Yihan, ignoring his beloved wife's actions, and insisted on taking him away from Xuande Hall, lest Disturbed the peace of the first emperor.

"His Royal Highness, my condolences!" Yun Wan put on the mourning clothes that Shen Yihan threw on the ground.

"Thank you, sister Wan, for your kindness." Shen Yiyu didn't expect Yun Wan to come, and he hadn't seen the person in front of him for a long time.

"If you need my help, just let me know. I'll take care of the eldest princess for a while." The person Yun Wan wanted to replace the most was Shen Yishuo, but he never married her, but how could he be regarded as the daughter-in-law of the royal family when married?
"My sister has worked hard." When Shen Yiyu saw Yun Wan, he thought of Shen Yishuo who was far away in Jin Ge for no reason, and then thought of the suspicious letter, and his face became more dignified.

"His Royal Highness, pay more attention to rest. The funeral is cumbersome...don't collapse from exhaustion." Yun Wan didn't know how to persuade her. After all, she had passed away and had no means of recovering from it. But looking at Shen Yiyu's pale complexion, she was in a bad mood. Silent directly.

"Same life, love each other, it's hard for Guan'er." Shen Yiyu looked at Yun and his eyes turned red. Even a weak woman can withstand the pain of losing her father, so what right does he have to lament the injustice of fate.

"Let it go and be sad!!!" Yun Wan persuaded again, time is the best medicine to heal pain.

"Sister Wan, it's been a hard journey, so why didn't the third brother come back with you?" Shen Yihuan was very concerned.

"I... came back by myself, he must be busy!" Yun Wan wanted to avoid this topic.

"Sister went to Jin Ge?" Shen Yiyu looked surprised.

"I just wanted to see the scenery of the Western Regions on a whim, but I didn't see the third prince." Yun Wan denied it.

"I don't know what the third brother is busy with? Shenlong can't see the end, hey~" Shen Yihuan sighed helplessly.

"Is he not in Jin Ge?" Shen Yiyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yunwan.

"I don't know where he is... I just rushed back after arriving in Qiuchi for two days. Last night... it can be said that I didn't arrive in the imperial capital until early this morning." Yun Wan became more and more guilty as she spoke. I met Shen Yishuo in Qiuchi.

"It's true that my third brother didn't come back with you?" Shen Yiyu asked again.

Unintentional lies will be corrected.
