The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Emperor Jingren's words made everyone stop and bow, saying they dared not.

Emperor Jingren sneered repeatedly and thought to himself, what is there that they dare not do?

If they didn't dare, they wouldn't treat the court as a quarrel in the vegetable market.

and……

After all, isn't it all for the position of crown prince?

Emperor Jingren chuckled, tapped his fingers lightly on the dragon throne, and then said quietly:

"Every one of you has your own reasons. It's hard for me to choose. How about this..."

When Emperor Jingren said this, Shen Qinglan felt the other party's gaze on him for some reason and subconsciously looked up.

As expected, her sight collided with that of Emperor Jingren. Shen Qinglan's heart skipped a beat, and she heard Emperor Jingren say with a smile:

"My dear ministers, you are in the court every day, and you may be influenced by external forces and unable to make fair judgments. How about this, let the Duke of Zhenguo judge the right and wrong of this matter? "

When someone heard this, they wanted to refute it immediately, but they were shut up immediately after being glanced at by Emperor Jingren.

Emperor Jingren looked at Shen Qinglan with a smile and said, "After all, you don't come to the court on weekdays. If we talk about fairness, no one is more fair than you, the Duke of Zhenguo, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people on the Ninth Prince's side all looked a little unhappy.

You know, Shen Qinglan is obviously on the side of the crown prince. Letting Shen Qinglan judge? Isn't that like Emperor Jingren sleeping on a crooked pillow and trying to be partial?

But for Shen Qinglan, does Emperor Jingren really have such good intentions?

The reason why Emperor Jingren mentioned herself at this time was actually just to make her the target.

After all, if she helped the Ninth Prince in this matter, she would be alienated from the Crown Prince. Even if it was not obvious at the moment, it would always become a small hidden danger for him in the future.

But if she helped the crown prince, the Ninth Prince's men would inevitably turn their attention from the crown prince to her.

The most important thing is that no one wants to deal with such a troublesome war of words, and Emperor Jingren is naturally the same, so he simply uses the excuse of delegating power to pass this hot potato to Shen Qinglan.

Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Qinglan.

If it were someone else, they would probably be sweating coldly by now.

But since Shen Qinglan came today, it was to resolve this matter.

She stood straight, as if oblivious to everyone's gaze. She just raised her head and smiled.

"These gentlemen said that the prince is young and does not handle things properly. He should not take the affairs of a concubine to heart and should not put the affairs of a concubine above the affairs of state. Is that right?"

Upon hearing this, a censor sneered and said:

"Of course. As the crown prince, he should put state affairs first. Just because Concubine Yan is ill, can it be an excuse for him to neglect state affairs?"

"If all the crown princes are like him, when the crown prince takes power in the future, he will forget about the affairs of the court at any time because of other things!"

After the minister finished speaking, another person immediately took over and echoed:

"That's exactly why Your Majesty should punish this matter severely so that the Crown Prince can learn from it!"

As soon as these two people opened their mouths, Shen Qinglan knew that they must be the Ninth Prince's men.

Shen Qinglan did not refute or explain, but smiled calmly, looked at the ministers, and asked:

"If so, then according to what you two gentlemen said, how should we punish the prince?"

The two looked at each other, and were somewhat worried that what they said would anger Emperor Jingren, so they couldn't help but secretly glance at Emperor Jingren.

Seeing that Emperor Jingren did not show any dissatisfaction, he felt relieved and said:

"In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and has made mistakes. It would be better to find someone else to receive the envoys from the four countries."

"That's right. The Crown Prince treats government affairs so triflingly. However, the visit of the envoys from the four countries is a big deal. We must not let the Crown Prince ruin it."

The two of them looked sincere and heartbroken, as if they were caring about the whole of Dayong.

The prince has been impeached by these ministers in the past two days. In addition to feeling helpless and aggrieved, he is also very troubled and has a headache.

But he couldn't defend himself and could only look at Shen Qinglan.

He believed that Shen Qinglan would definitely not watch him being bullied when she came today.

Shen Qinglan looked up at the two adults and said with a smile:

"So this is the real purpose of all the adults!"

After saying so much, in fact, they were eyeing the job of receiving the envoys.

If it were before, the task of receiving envoys from four countries would have been a hot potato. Otherwise, it would not have been the turn of the Thirteenth Prince, who was not yet the Crown Prince at that time.

But this time and that time.

Although Dayong was caught off guard and attacked directly at the gate of the capital by Xinyi, it was able to fight back and win. Isn't this a deterrent to the other three kingdoms?

In this way, when their delegation arrives, they will not cause too much trouble, but will work hard to promote their cooperation.

If the envoys from the four countries could be received well, it would be a great achievement for the Ninth Prince.

Not only that, there is another reason why the Ninth Prince dared to be so bold, and that is the explosives he possessed.

Even if the envoys of the four countries dared to act recklessly, the Ninth Prince would not be afraid of going to war. He might even be eager to start a war and take the opportunity to use the explosives to directly seize military power and enhance his own prestige.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan looked at the minister with a look of scrutiny and pressure, and said word by word:

"Your Excellency said that the country is more important than the empress, but have you also forgotten that the foundation of the country and the foundation of human beings are the two words of benevolence and filial piety?"

"The Crown Prince's biological mother is seriously ill, and the Crown Prince is pure and filial. He cares about his biological mother and takes care of her. What's wrong with this? If the Crown Prince was as unkind and unfilial as the Eighth Prince and the Fourth Prince, Your Majesty would have been murdered by the rebels long ago!"

Having said this, Shen Qinglan paused, looked at the ministers with cold eyes, and after glancing around, he asked:

"My Lords, you think that the Crown Prince's character is not fit for such a high position. Are you accusing Your Majesty of having a bad vision? Or do you hope that the Crown Prince will become an unkind and unfilial person and allow the rebels to kill Your Majesty?"

"You gentlemen, you are so cruel that you are hoping that the rebels will kill the emperor?"

In an instant, the direction of attack and defense changed.

The ministers who had accused the crown prince turned pale in the face and quickly knelt on the ground to hurriedly explain to Emperor Jingren who was sitting on the dragon throne.

They never expected that Shen Qinglan was so eloquent!

In just a few words, it was as if a knife was placed on their necks, and the next second, it seemed that their heads would fall off!

Shen Qinglan looked at the ministers who were frightened as they explained to Emperor Jingren. He just smiled faintly, interrupted them, and set his eyes on the Ninth Prince and said:

"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and I'm afraid he is not capable of receiving the envoys from the four countries. How about... the Ninth Prince assisting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

As soon as Shen Qinglan said this, everyone looked at Shen Qinglan in surprise.
