Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

"The succession to the throne is a matter of state, how can it be treated as a joke? Come, leave Prince Heng in the Qianqing Palace, and the rest of you follow me to the Yangxin Palace to get the second imperial edict. Anyone who has any objections should stay in the Qianqing Palace!"

As soon as Shen Meimei said this, three or five soldiers filed in and captured Prince Heng.

"I am Prince Heng, how dare you treat me like this, sister-in-law?"

"You also know to call me sister-in-law? Since you know that I am the Queen, and the Queen is the most respected person in the entire Forbidden City except the Emperor, you are disrespectful to your superiors and make loud noises. How can you be so disrespectful?" Shen Meimei spoke up and left Prince Heng speechless.

The fifth prince Hong Zhou held the imperial edict and said to everyone:

"In fact, I also want to know whether the other imperial edict of the emperor is different from this one. Madam, I am willing to go with you to the Yangxin Palace to get the imperial edict."

Shen Meimei was relieved. She walked forward, holding Hong Zhou with one hand and Hong Xin with the other, leaving all the officials behind, and went straight to the Yangxin Palace.

In the Yangxin Palace, Su Peisheng searched for a long time but still couldn't find the other edict.

Shen Meimei stood up and paced back and forth. She suddenly remembered that the emperor had been paying attention to the pillow before he left. Could it be that the edict was hidden in the pillow?

When she thought of this, she quickly took out the emperor's jade pillow and looked at it carefully for a long time, but still found nothing.

If the edict was hidden in the pillow, there is only one possibility, that the pillow is hollow, but how did the edict get put in there?

Shen Meimei didn't care about all that. She just threw the jade pillow to the ground, and sure enough, there was an imperial edict hidden inside.

Zhang Tingyu picked up the imperial edict and opened it, his face suddenly turned pale.

The contents of the two edicts are exactly the same, except that the edict from the Qianqing Palace passed the throne to the fifth prince Hongzhou, while this edict passed the throne to the seventh prince Hongxin.

All the officials came forward and carefully identified the fonts, but the answer they gave was that both edicts were authentic.

Shen Meimei sneered. She had promised the emperor that she would help him protect the Qing Dynasty. She would never let the throne fall into the hands of those people.

The fifth prince Hong Zhou is a weak person but kind-hearted. If he became emperor, wouldn't he be helping those powerful ministers?

"Since both edicts are authentic, that means there is a third edict!" Shen Meimei analyzed.

When a person forges an imperial edict, he can only forge one copy, which is the one under the plaque "Zhengda Guangming", but the edict next to the emperor is impossible to forge.

"How could there be a third edict?"

"Impossible, how many edicts did the emperor write?"

Some officials below began to talk. They didn't care who would be the emperor, but were worried about their own future.

Hongxin was young, and after walking all the way with Shen Meimei, he was so tired that he fell asleep. He sat down on the ground and started crying.

"The Seventh Prince is too young, it would be better for the Fifth Prince to inherit the throne!"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, and the crowd immediately went into an uproar.

Hong Zhou was so scared that he waved his hands, "I can't be the emperor. My younger brother Hong Xin is more suitable for the position of emperor. Besides, with the assistance of the Empress Dowager, the Seventh Prince will definitely be able to do it!"

Zhang Tingyu was quite disappointed when he saw that the fifth prince Hongzhou was a useless person who was hopeless.

But he still insisted that the edict in the Qianqing Palace was authentic, and the edict in the jade pillow was fake. Both sides held their own opinions and refused to give in.

Shen Meimei stared at Zhang Tingyu, and she thought to herself, "Why does this old man want to help the Fifth Prince ascend to the throne?"
