When the emperor passed away, as a royal wife, the regent princess naturally came long ago.
She knelt in the crowd. When she heard the fake Boyuanhou say this, she raised her head in shock.
How could she instruct Boyuanhou to forge an imperial edict...
However, when she met Chu Rui's eyes, she knew that she had only one way to go, and that was to admit the crime on behalf of her husband.
Only in this way can the husband take it out and keep his position as regent.
Her husband is the regent. Even if she admits her crime and is thrown into the dungeon, her husband will definitely find a way to save her. After all, her husband once said that she is like a light, illuminating his dark world... …
"What can the Princess Regent say?" the Dali Temple Minister said loudly, "A woman dares to interfere in the affairs of the government and fabricates imperial edicts. Do you know what crime you have committed!"
"Yes, it's me..." Su Ziyue walked out of the crowd and knelt at the foot of the steps, "This matter was done by me alone and has nothing to do with anyone else. I wanted to be the queen and the mother of a country, so I kept it secret. My husband did such a treasonous and unethical thing, and the sinner Su Ziyue allowed the minister of Dali Temple to be punished!"
Dali Temple Qing couldn't help but glance at Chu Rui.
To be honest, he was confused and didn't know how to deal with it.
Chu Rui walked down the steps step by step and walked to Su Ziyue.
He looked at the civil and military officials kneeling below and spoke word by word: "My princess is ignorant and made such a joke. I am here to apologize to everyone on her behalf."
The civil and military officials below couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"joke?"
"Is it a joke to pretend to preach an imperial edict?"
"I almost overturned the royal bloodline. Just apologize and that's it?"
"The regent doesn't take us courtiers seriously enough..."
Everyone had just started talking, but no one had yet stood up to condemn and object.
Chu Rui continued: "But she committed an unforgivable and heinous crime. How can an apology convince the public? So I have no choice but to be a righteous person who kills relatives!"
He bent down and helped Su Ziyue up.
Su Ziyue's head was buzzing. She was still thinking, what does it mean to kill one's relatives for justice? Is this what she meant?
However, when she saw Chu Rui's gentle smile and passionate eyes, she felt as if she was overthinking.
However, she didn't wait until she had other ideas.
suddenly!
Chu Rui suddenly pulled out a sword from the waist of Master Lin, the commander of the Royal Forest Army behind him, and stabbed Su Ziyue in the abdomen.
"Pfft!"
The long sword penetrated Su Ziyue's entire body.
Her internal organs were pierced, and bright red blood spilled from the corners of her mouth.
Her face was full of disbelief: "Husband..."
Chu Rui came close to her ear: "Madam, don't worry, I will set up a longevity card for you, and you will always have a place in my heart."
"Husband..." Su Ziyue trembled all over and her mouth kept bleeding, "I, I..."
She still vaguely remembered the night they got married. He was as gentle as the moonlight. His passionate eyes were filled with her, and she surrendered her body and mind.
She would do anything for him.
Including death...
But.
She raised her hand tremblingly and touched her bloody abdomen.
"I, I forgot to tell, husband..." Su Ziyue vomited blood after saying a few words, "I, am, pregnant..."
Chu Rui's face finally showed an expression that was not a disguise: "What did you say..."
"I...vomited..." Su Ziyue spat out blood.
Before she could finish her sentence, she fell softly into Chu Rui's arms.
Chu Rui took her pulse.
He had been ill for a long time and feeling his pulse was the easiest thing for him.
When he felt the weak beating of his pulse, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
He really has a child, but...
"Husband, Jun..."
Su Ziyue struggled to say these two words, closed her eyes and lost her breath.
"lady!"
Chu Rui growled in grief.
Why, why didn't you tell him earlier.
Why did you have to wait until the knife pierced your abdomen to tell him such an important thing.
When he was young, he watched his father die before his eyes.
When I was a teenager, I watched my mother die with my own eyes.
If he was older, even the eldest sister who was protecting him would die.
Now, his child also died in front of his eyes...
He is not destined to be the lone star of Tiansha, so why is he always alone? Why!
All civil and military officials were shocked by this scene.
In their impression, the regent was a sick man. He was usually pale and looked very weak. Unexpectedly, he would kill someone as soon as he said it!
The one he killed was his newly married wife!
Call him a fraud, but the grief on his face doesn't look like a disguise at all!
Yun Chu was close and could clearly hear Su Ziyue's intermittent words. There was a child in her immature body.
The unformed fetus was stabbed to death by his biological father.
If it weren't for this child, Chu Rui would probably have trouble squeezing out a tear even if he was pretending.
It's pitiful that Su Ziyue, who was only sixteen years old, devoted herself to Chu Rui, but became Chu Rui's stepping stone.
"I have cleaned up my family!" Chu Rui, with tears on his face, said this to everyone with difficulty, "I have no intention of becoming emperor, but a sincere heart. Please know this!"
"The regent is a model for courtiers to kill their relatives in a righteous manner!" The minister of Dali Temple quickly flattered him, "Someone, please imprison the fake Marquis Boyuan, and send the body of the regent princess... back to the regent's palace!"
The palace maid and eunuch stepped forward and quickly cleaned up the stains on the floor.
It's like, nothing ever happened.
But the emperor's body lying on the dragon couch reminded everyone that everything was not over until the new king was determined.
The first assistant academician of the cabinet said: "Since the emperor has not left any edict, the cabinet, the Hanlin Academy, and the three princes will jointly decide on the future king of the Jin Dynasty..."
"Wait a moment." Master Xu, who was standing in the crowd, walked to the front.
Although Taishi Xu hadn't said anything yet, Yunchu realized that Taishi Xu had been coerced and became Chu Rui's man.
Master Xu is the escape route Chu Rui left for himself.
The first assistant bachelor said: "I wonder if Master Xu has any advice?"
"Last night, the emperor secretly announced that I would meet with you to discuss the matter of the crown prince." Xu Taishi glanced at the adjutant behind him. The adjutant took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Taishi respectfully. "At that time, the emperor was worried about the dragon body. , I had already decided on the candidate for the crown prince with me... When Hou Boyuan announced the edict, I thought that the emperor had changed his mind before the crisis, so he did not intend to take out the imperial edict written last night... But since Hou Boyuan announced That is a false edict, so we can only rely on the imperial edict in my hands. What do you think?"
Marquis Pingjin was always bold and said, "It depends on whether the imperial edict in the hands of the Grand Master is true or false. Stop talking and declare the edict first!"
