Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Chapter 189 Pretending to be a ghost

——The country is overwhelmed

"I think Prince Kang can be the crown prince. What do you think, Queen?" The Emperor said as he looked at the dignified and generous woman who was the mother of the country.

"Your Majesty, Lang'er is both the eldest son and the legitimate son. I think it's feasible." The queen nodded slightly and responded gently.

"In that case, then let's do as the Queen says." The Emperor smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Queen bowed to the Emperor to show her gratitude.

"Then issue the decree." the emperor ordered.

"Yes." After obeying the order, the queen went to arrange the delivery of the imperial edict.

Soon, an imperial edict was issued: By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that since I ascended the throne, I have always adhered to the principle of "establishing the eldest son as the heir", and I deeply feel that "the eldest son Hua Chenlang" has a good character and extraordinary intelligence, and has the potential to become an outstanding crown prince. I hereby grant him the Golden Book and the Golden Treasure, and give him the mission of shouldering the great responsibility of the world.

The news spread quickly throughout the capital, causing a great uproar. People were full of expectations for the new crown prince, and Prince Kang Hua Chenlang became the focus of everyone's attention.

When the news reached the palace of Prince Kang, the family was overjoyed. However, this imperial decree caused quite a stir in the palace. Some ministers who supported other princes began to work secretly to try to overturn this decision.

In the harem, each concubine had her own thoughts. Concubine Xiao and Concubine Ling, who had just been favored, were not pregnant yet.

After receiving the news, King Kang immediately returned to the palace to express his gratitude and looked for a good location in the palace to be the crown prince's residence.

In the process of choosing a palace for the crown prince, King Kang discovered an abandoned palace. There had been a mysterious fire in the palace, and it was said that a concubine who had fallen out of favor had hanged herself there. Although others avoided the palace, King Kang became very interested in it. He decided to transform it into his own palace despite everyone's opposition.

At the same time, the struggle in the harem became more and more intense. Concubine Xiao and Concubine Ling realized that if they could not conceive a prince as soon as possible, they would not be able to gain a foothold in the palace. So they began to try every possible way to win favor, even resorting to insidious means. The queen watched coldly, knowing that the struggle in the harem was often accompanied by danger, and she had to protect her son and not let anyone take advantage of it.

King Kang began to renovate the palace. He invited the best craftsmen and designers, striving to turn this abandoned palace into a unique prince's palace.

However, when the project was halfway through, something strange happened. Workers often heard eerie cries and strange laughter at night, and some even saw phantoms. Rumors began to spread in the palace, and some said it was the ghost of the dead concubine who was trying to prevent King Kang from moving in.

When Concubine Xiao and Concubine Ling heard about this, they were secretly pleased with themselves. They took the opportunity to slander the emperor, claiming that Prince Kang chose this palace to curse the emperor.

Although the emperor had doubts in his heart, he did not believe these rumors out of trust in King Kang.

After the queen learned about it, she decided to go to the palace to check it out herself. She patrolled the palace and found nothing unusual. She firmly believed that this was just a deliberate panic created by someone with ulterior motives in order to shake the position of King Kang.

The queen said angrily: "Send someone to investigate? Who dares to play tricks in the palace!" Her voice was full of majesty and anger.

The palace maids beside them all bowed their heads and replied, "Yes." They did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately turned around and left to carry out the order.

The queen frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She looked at Danqing beside her and said firmly: "Danqing, protect the prince."

Danqing replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." He knew that he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the prince's safety, and he secretly vowed in his heart to do his best.

The queen nodded slightly and looked into the distance again, as if she wanted to see the true face of the mysterious figure through the palace wall.

After Jun Moli learned that Prince Kang was appointed Crown Prince, he immediately left the palace and went to the Prime Minister's Residence.

As soon as he stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he heard a group of chattering voices. "The eldest young master is back!" Jun Moli frowned slightly and looked at the maid who was talking, "Stop making noise, slap her mouth." The maid immediately shut up and knelt on the ground.

"Grandfather, is he in the study?" "Yes, the master has been waiting for you since early morning." Jun Moli nodded and walked towards the study. After entering the study, Jun Moli spoke directly, "Grandfather, Prince Kang has been appointed as the crown prince." Jun Lingfeng's face changed slightly, "I already know." "What should we do next?" Jun Lingfeng pondered for a moment, "For the time being, we will not move."

Jun Moli was a little puzzled, "Why?" Jun Lingfeng sighed, "The situation is unclear now, and we should not act rashly. Besides, King Kang may not be the final winner." Jun Moli gritted her teeth, "But..." "No buts," Jun Lingfeng interrupted her, "You just need to do what you should do." Although Jun Moli was unwilling, she also knew that what her grandfather said made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

Jun Moli left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went straight back to the Jun Mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he went straight to Linglong Pavilion.

"Has Lan'er rested?" Jun Moli asked softly.

Hua Xiulan's gentle voice came from the room: "Chun Tao, help me up quickly."

Jun Moli walked into the room and saw Hua Xiulan struggling to get up, so he quickly stepped forward and supported her.

"Lan'er, why did you get up?" Jun Moli asked with concern.

Hua Xiulan smiled slightly and said, "Mo Li, I'm fine. Strangely enough, this child is very well behaved today and is not making any noise at all."

Jun Moli looked down at Hua Xiulan's slightly bulging four-month pregnant belly, his heart filled with joy and anticipation. He gently stroked her belly, feeling the little life beating inside.

"What a sensible child." Jun Moli said with emotion.

Hua Xiulan's face was filled with a happy smile. She leaned in Jun Moli's arms, enjoying the warmth and tranquility of the moment.

"Mo Li, is there anything important happening today?" Hua Xiu Lan asked in a tender voice.

"Today your eldest brother becomes the crown prince." Jun Moli looked at her with a hint of helplessness and doting in his eyes.

"Brother? Prince?" Hua Xiulan widened her eyes, her face full of surprise.

"Yes. The decree was issued early this morning." Jun Moli nodded slightly, his tone calm.

"It seems that father is not in good health." Hua Xiulan's face showed worry.

"Lan'er, the you I told you before..." Jun Moli seemed to be hesitant and seemed a little hesitant.

"Mo Li, I just want to live our lives well. Mo Li, after my eldest brother ascends the throne, we will choose a fiefdom to live our own lives. Okay?" Hua Xiu Lan held Jun Mo Li's hand tightly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Jun Moli thought about it carefully and finally nodded: "Yeah. Okay. It's all up to Lan'er." His voice was low and firm, as if he had made a promise.
