After the host binds to the childbearing system, one baby will be born.

Yang Qi pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to suppress the irritability and resentment in his heart, lowered his head, and said through gritted teeth: "Greetings, mother. I want to ask how mother has offended you?"

Lin Shuwan pulled the corners of her mouth, and tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were rising wildly. She said to Bao Jie'er in her mind: "Did you hear that? The Eighth Prince is also my good son. He calls me mother. Giving him 50,000 points is not too much, right?"

Bao Jie snorted and rolled her eyes: [What are you dreaming about?]

Lin Shuwan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Yu Li spoke again: "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, I have just explained clearly what Concubine Yue did. If you have any questions, you can ask me, or... ask the late emperor?"

Lin Shuwan closed her mouth silently. With Yu Li as her mouthpiece, she felt relieved.

Yang Qi choked and clenched his hands into fists. In the end, he gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation.

While Yu Li was educating Yang Qi, a eunuch walked in from outside and said, "Your Highness, the Queen, and the Eighth Prince, all the ministers are already in the meeting hall."

Yang Qi instantly put Concubine Yue’s matter behind him and looked at Yu Li with burning eyes.

His mother is important, but how can she be as important as his throne?

When he ascends the throne, he will take his mother out of the cold palace, and give her a good place and rewards her!

Anyway, my mother has been saying that after he ascends the throne, he will have whatever he wants and do whatever he wants, and no one can disobey him!

Yu Li looked at the eunuch, nodded, turned around and said to Lin Shuwan and Yang Qi: "Then please ask the Queen and the Eighth Prince to go to the Council Hall together and read the late emperor's will!"

……

All the ministers have gathered in the council hall. Before they arrived, all the ministers were talking about the death of the old emperor and the affairs of the eighth prince!

There were also many people around Prime Minister Lin, all of whom were asking his daughter whether the Queen had delivered any message.

Prime Minister Lin had a heavy face, shook his head to several colleagues, and said: "The Queen has just entered the harem, and there are many things to learn. How can she have time to pass on news to me? Ministers, please be patient, and we will know everything soon!"

"Your Majesty, Queen, Your Highness, the Eighth Prince has arrived!"

The ministers who originally wanted to say something returned to their seats.

Outside the hall, Lin Shuwan walked in front, with Yu Li and Yang Qi standing on her left and right respectively. Behind her were six Jinyiwei with big swords, and their momentum was particularly fierce.

All the ministers fell silent.

Prime Minister Lin glanced at Lin Shuwan, who looked pale and listless, and sighed inwardly. Wanwan must be panic-stricken because of the emperor's death.

After everyone stood still, Yu Li opened the brocade box from the Jinyiwei behind him and took out a bright yellow imperial edict. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The late emperor's will, everyone kneel down to receive it!"

All the ministers knelt down, including Lin Shuwan and Yang Qi.

Yu Li unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud:

"The late emperor, in compliance with the will of Heaven, proclaims: After my death, the eighth prince Yang Qi will inherit the throne, Lin Shuwan will be named the empress dowager, and the chief eunuch Yu Li and Prime Minister Lin will serve as the cabinet to assist the new emperor in managing state affairs...Except for the empress, all the concubines who have served me will be buried with me...All the princesses under my lap will be demoted to commoners and exiled to Lingnan, and will never be allowed to enter the capital again. I decree this!"

As soon as Yu Li finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar!

In this imperial edict, except for the first two sentences which are relatively normal, the rest are more explosive than the last!

Yang Qi was immersed in the joy of inheriting the throne and becoming emperor. The smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, and he didn't hear what happened next at all!

Prime Minister Lin looked up at Yu Li, the only one standing, his eyes full of astonishment and horror. This imperial edict was definitely not written by the old emperor. It must have been changed by Yu Li himself!

All the ministers below also thought of this, and they were even more excited and started whispering to each other.

“How could the late emperor issue such an edict? All the concubines in the harem will be buried alive, and all the princesses will be demoted to commoners! This... this..." The minister looked at Yu Li suspiciously, and almost said directly that it was Yu Li who tampered with the edict.

Facing everyone's suspicious and fearful gazes, Yu Li stood straight, handed the imperial edict in his hand to Prime Minister Lin, and said in a deep voice: "If you all doubt the edict, then please ask Prime Minister Lin and the other cabinet members to examine whether it is the handwriting of the late emperor?"

When the late emperor was drafting his will, his body was already withered and his spirit was depressed, but he still insisted on inviting several cabinet ministers, including Prime Minister Lin, to the palace to witness it!

Of course everyone knows whether this will is authentic!

But all the ministers knew Yu Li’s methods. Now they were being held hostage, the late emperor was dead, and they could only save themselves!

Prime Minister Lin clenched the imperial edict in his hand. Seeing Yu Li's gentle smile, he looked at Lin Shuwan who was not far away with his head lowered. He gritted his teeth, handed the imperial edict to the other ministers, and said, "I have confirmed that it is the handwriting of the late emperor."

The other ministers also sighed in their hearts and nodded in response.

Prime Minister Lin took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "My dear ministers, since the late emperor made such an arrangement, he must have his own deep intentions. From now on, I will work together with Jiu Qiansui to assist the new emperor in governing the world. I hope that all the ministers can assist the new emperor and create a peaceful and prosperous era together."

Yu Li also took back the will, held it high, and said in a loud voice: "Here is the will. Do you ministers want to go against the will of the late emperor?"

The sword-carrying Jinyiwei standing behind him also drew out their shiny and sharp swords, and looked expressionlessly at the ministers below who wanted to say something.

For a moment, the court fell silent, and all the voices of doubt disappeared.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, everyone kowtowed and said loudly: "In compliance with the late emperor's will, we will assist the new emperor and create a peaceful and prosperous era for Daqi!"

Yu Li looked at the crowd of people kneeling below with a cold smile and a heavy look in his eyes.

The will was quickly announced to the world, and soon aroused endless discussions among officials and people all over the world.

All the princesses and concubines who heard the news burst into tears and said they wanted to go to the palace to beg the new emperor for mercy.

However, Yu Li suppressed them all with the will of the late emperor!

For a moment, there was wailing in the harem, all crying bitterly over the fact that they were about to be buried alive. Lin Shuwan, the only one who escaped the burial, finally had the chance to talk to Prime Minister Lin in private.

Prime Minister Lin looked at his daughter standing in front of him, her head resting on his chest. His eyes were slightly red, and his expression was somewhat sad and grief-stricken. He said in a hoarse voice: "Wanwan, you have suffered during this period! It is your father who is useless and has harmed you!"
