Chapter 1174 - 1174 568 Drama King and Queen Siblings (First Update)
?Chapter 1174: 568 Drama King and Queen Siblings (First Update) Chapter 1174: 568 Drama King and Queen Siblings (First Update) The reactions of others weren’t as strong as Princess Ning An’s; they were just surprised, that’s all.
“Your Majesty… why would you let a princess oversee the nation?”
The question came from Consort Zhuang.
If it had been Princess Ning An announced to oversee the nation today, she would’ve asked the same.
Ever since Empress Dowager Zhuang set the precedent of a woman overseeing the nation in her role as the Empress, but Xinyang was merely a princess.
Moreover, no one had heard that His Majesty was particularly fond of this princess.
The relationship between the Emperor and Princess Xinyang indeed couldn’t be considered very close. Princess Xinyang’s marriage to Marquis Xuanping had been arranged by the Emperor, who was actually following the late Emperor’s last wishes; hence their marital discord led people to believe the Emperor had been careless when matching up the “Mandarin Ducks.”
People thought that Princess Xinyang probably held some grudge against the Emperor in her heart.
So why would the Emperor let her oversee the nation?
“Could this royal edict be fake?”
Consort Zhuang’s mouth truly had no filter; she dared say anything.
Empress Xiao was the first one to show displeasure, standing up and looking coldly at Consort Zhuang: “Consort, what do you mean? The royal edict is written clearly in black and white on white paper and is stamped with the seal of Zhan Country. Are you doubting the Zhan Country’s royal seal, or are you doubting His Majesty’s will?”
The royal edict did mention a part about the Crown Prince assuming regency. Declaring it fake would be to deny the Crown Prince as well.
Empress Xiao didn’t care who oversaw the nation or not; the important thing was that the Crown Prince would replace His Majesty in attending the court sessions!
Consort Zhuang chuckled: “Who knows if someone took advantage of His Majesty’s unconsciousness, stole his royal seal, and then drafted the edict? Right, Eunuch Wei?”
Eunuch Wei’s temples throbbed; Consort Zhuang, oh Consort Zhuang, you’re usually so dim-witted; how did you become clever all of a sudden today?
Indeed, the truth was exactly that!
