Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 543
Before dawn, the Hou Mansion lit up red lanterns, illuminating the entire mansion brightly, and a thin layer of white frost covered the ground, like falling snow.

At the same time, three bells rang from the center of the imperial city, and within a split second, the entire imperial city was boiling.

As soon as the bell rang, Zhongyonghou opened the door with a swipe of his spear.

"Xiang Bo!"

"Master Hou!"

"Did you hear the bell?"

"I heard it." Xiang Bo said, "It came from the palace."

Lord Hou raised his eyes and glanced at the imperial city, thinking that Emperor Xiao had gone.

The Zhongyonghou's Mansion ordered: "Your Majesty has passed away, and all the ministers will definitely go to the palace to salute. You go and ask the young master to clean up. I'm afraid the crown prince will summon him."

At the same time, Abbot Wu of Hongfa Temple also passed away.

Fortunately, all the monks were prepared to realize the abbot's passing away. Now that they realized the abbot's passing away, they were sad and sent someone to send a letter to the palace.

Hongfa Temple can also be regarded as a royal temple, and the abbot is highly respected, even Qin Tianjian is a disciple of the abbot, so he must report to His Majesty when he realizes the abbot's death.

As Hou Zhongyong expected, the prince announced Han Zhan and Chu Zhi into the palace at dawn to discuss related matters.

His Majesty passed away, and the officials were in an uproar. Although the Ministry of Rites took care of all matters, the crown prince had to decide on important matters. The one who can become the crown prince's assistant must be the crown prince's most trusted one, and he will also be the candidate for the court's important minister in the future.

Therefore, many people were eager to move, but the prince chose the Zhongyonghou Mansion.

Han Zhan cooperated with the prince to deal with the affairs of the former court, and Chu Zhi cooperated with the concubine Xiangui to deal with the affairs of the harem, but he picked up the queen completely.

The queen, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold back at this moment.

Facing the prince's arrangement, the queen said angrily on the spot: "This palace is the queen proclaimed by Your Majesty, and should preside over the funeral ceremony, but the prince bypassed the palace and directly ordered the noble concubine Xian to be in charge. Pang Xiong, what's the matter? The prince has not yet ascended the throne, so he doesn't pay attention to his mother, so he will be unfaithful and unfilial? It is a funeral ceremony for his majesty to ask an outsider to take charge of the palace affairs. Dare to ask the prince? Who does the crown prince think? She is the wife of a foreign minister, not your majesty's concubine, let alone your concubine, prince, don't mess with people, ethics and etiquette!"

The queen's words are intended to accuse the prince of disloyalty and filial piety, of interfering with his minister's wife, and of treason.

With the tainted prince and the opposition of the officials, he is the crown prince, and it is a bit difficult to sit in that position.

Only the prince said gently: "Mother misunderstood, my son must not dare to have such thoughts, it is true that the fourth younger brother forced the palace to rebel, and the Chen family was involved in it, and the father was also left because of the fourth younger brother's anger. Even if the son-in-law wanted his mother to take charge of the overall situation, he was powerless, as for the concubine Han Shizi..."

The prince laughed lightly: "This is the will of the noble concubine Xian, and my ministers also followed suit. The concubine Xiangui said that Concubine Han Shizi is very organized and easy to handle. Seeing her is like her own daughter, so she wholeheartedly wants her to come. Help, the queen mother must not misunderstand."

The queen's face was ashen when the prince said this.

He is telling the queen, you are very good, why did your Chen family rebel?You are very good, why is your son so mad at his father?I haven't come to you to settle accounts with you, but you have come to me and slandered my reputation?

"Okay! Very good!" The queen sneered again and again in anger, unable to speak, and only after a while did she say, "Xiao Yichen, I guess I was wrong, what did you say that a luxuriant tree faces the wind, and a gentleman is like an orchid? Heh! They are all wolves in sheep's clothing, but they are more ruthless than anyone else in a real fight! They really are dogs that can bite people, don't bark!"
