"Empress, this humble subject does not understand one thing. Please enlighten me."

Yan Zhen stared at Ji Tian Ning. He was a bit rude. Even though his words were polite, his attitude was not polite at all. Ji Tian Ning had given him the privilege of coming in and out with his sword and personal guards.

"Go ahead."

Ji Tian Ning did not bother about Yan Zhen's rudeness. He was more willing to interact with a straightforward person like Yan Zhen. Compared to the fox, Yong Lianyun, who was neither old nor young, he was much less worried.

"Why has the Empress kept the edict of the Prince of Graveyard from being promulgated?"

"Are you worried about something? The imperial edict has been shown to you. It is placed here, and Father's coffin has also been sent to the Hongmeng Palace. I also gave the order to build a mausoleum for royal father, did you think that I would make a mistake? "

"This humble subject asks the Empress to enlighten me."

"Sit down and speak. The guards beside me right now are all your trusted aides. If I wanted to lie to you, I wouldn't use you, and even more so not letting you bring people to replace the palace guards."

"This subject is slow-witted, please advise me."

Yan Zhen's attitude became a lot more respectful. After all, he admired Ji Tian Ning's courage when she dared to place him by her side.

"You should know that I have already given the order, and the officials have not moved at all. However, many ministers were captured that night. Even though I ordered the release of all the ministers and the restoration of their positions, the court was still in chaos and the hearts of the people were unsteady. This is especially true for the Emperor who is gravely ill and is unable to handle the imperial government. I am also very unfamiliar with the imperial officials and the imperial government of the Southern Champion Kingdom. "

"Many thanks to the Empress's kindness. Your highness' spirit in heaven will definitely protect the Empress." The Empress was magnanimous, releasing the trusted aides of the Prince and re-activating them. It is just that this humble subject does not understand why the Empress chose He Yichuan and the others. "

Ji Tian Ning rubbed her temples. Recently, she had been busy with government affairs and found it difficult to endure.

"Yong Xianyun and the rest intend to control the imperial government and overpower me. You should know that if this person succeeds, the court officials will be reshuffled. The victims are those who were close to my father. Although He Yichuan was despised by his father, he had no accomplices in the imperial court. After I use him, he will wholeheartedly work for me. This will help calm the hearts of the people as soon as possible, so it will be beneficial for him to have control over the imperial government in my hands. Only with power and authority can I do what I want to do. "

"As long as Empress does not make any mistakes, this humble subject will do my best to assist Empress. This subject has already appeased Prince's old tribe, and will wait until the Empress announces the edict to the world, to return Prince's glorious name."

"Yan Zhen, right now, all the ministers of the imperial court have heard of this edict. I am also ordering people to speed up the construction of a mausoleum for my royal father. "Tomorrow, in the imperial court, I will issue this edict. If you have any doubts, feel free to bring them up."

"The heir of the prince …"

"The edict has already stated that if father's concubine gives birth to a boy, she will be conferred the title of Crown Prince's son, and a girl will be conferred the title of Prefecture Lord. If you are worried, I will give you the edict, and I will announce it after tomorrow morning when you take it out."

"The Empress has spoken too seriously. This humble subject thanks the Empress for her benevolence. Your highness has spirit in the heavens, so you must be gratified. The Empress has not failed to live up to your kindness."

"Yan Zhen, the conflict between royal father and the Emperor, you and I are unable to stop it. After entering the palace, I was also imprisoned in the harem, so I have no idea what happened. Fortunately, after the emperor was injured and the empress dowager was controlled by me, I was able to obtain the emperor's Imperial Seal, rescue you, and correct your Royal Father's name. "Now that your majesty is unconscious, I can use this time to make everything a foregone conclusion."

"How is the Emperor now? If the emperor wakes up, how does the Empress plan to deal with him? "

"Your majesty's injuries are heavy, so it's best for him to rest quietly. It's not appropriate for him to toil." I know that you hate the emperor and want to kill him to avenge your father, but the situation is in disarray now and it would be better if we had the emperor. Besides, even if you don't kill his majesty, I'm afraid he won't have much time left either. "

Yan Zhen stretched out his hand and looked down at his own hand without saying anything.

He hated it. He wished that he could immediately kill the reverse scale of fire and avenge the nine heavens of the palace.

"Yan Zhen, don't be anxious. If you kill the Emperor, where will you put your father? Where could he place hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Royal father has treated you with great kindness. Although right now, your father has returned to the heavens, you must not disappoint your father's kindness in the past. You must protect your father's heir. Do not disappoint my trust, and make those soldiers who followed my royal father suffer. "

Yan Zhen raised his head and stared coldly at Ji Tian Ning, "If it wasn't for that, does the Empress think that I would be here? "I only hope that Esteemed Empress doesn't forget the promise, or else …"

"There's no other reason. Yan Zhen, if I didn't appear, do you think you would still be able to stand here? Would the soldiers brought back by the Wind Chaser Cavalry and Royal Father still be able to live?"

Ji Tian Ning glared at Yan Zhen, "I shall change the imperial edict and bury my father deeply. I shall allow my father's descendant to inherit the throne and not take his place. I didn't save you guys from the crime of treason. I killed nine clansmen and gave you the right to keep you by my side, not because I wanted you to threaten me. "

A strange glow flashed in his bright eyes, but Ji Tian Ning did not notice it. Yan Zhen was being stared at by that strange glow, yet he did not dare to look directly at it. He immediately felt a sense of reverence. This kind of feeling could only be felt by him when he was standing in front of the Nine Heavens Palace. Even when facing the reverse fire scale, he had never felt this way.

Involuntarily kneeling to the ground, he bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. This humble subject has been overly hurt, and has been lacking in manners. Please forgive me. This humble subject will do my best to assist the Empress in welcoming the heirs of the Prince. "

"Get up. I am also preparing to announce to the world that I am inviting Master Fengyuan to return to the imperial court and bring back my father's concubine. However, since the Imperial Court is not stable these days, and there are so many things in Fengyuan, we have been delayed. "

"But what does the Empress intend to do next?"

"To calm the hearts of the people, the officials of the court shall proceed accordingly. I intend to make the former emperor of the court the Regent. "He is the son of his father, the Emperor once conferred him the title of Crown Prince's son. However, since his father is about to have an heir, it would be inconvenient for him to be the next heir, so it would be difficult to arrange for his father to have an heir."

"Esteemed Empress, the Emperor won't agree to do such a thing. If the Emperor were to wake up and personally take care of the imperial government, he might even purge the country and remove the prince's former trusted aides. Empress Dowager, once the battle was over, it was always the opposite. Now that the Empress's prime minister was in court, the ministers were unwilling to accept this. If the emperor wakes up again, the Empress might be in danger. The Empress had already harbored a prince. Since the prince was born, he could be considered the crown prince of the Southern Champion Kingdom. If the Emperor dies from a serious illness, the prince that the Empress will be able to give birth to will be her new king. "

Yan Zhen hated the reverse scale, but he knew that he couldn't kill it now. Although half of the palace guards had been replaced by the Wind Chaser Cavalry, the number of guards and guards was far more than the Wind Chaser Cavalry.

Moreover, he also knew that there were dark guards on Fire Reversal Scale, as well as masters of the Five De level. Therefore, he encouraged Ji Tian Ning, hoping that she would be able to control or kill the reverse scale.

How could Ji Tian Ning not understand Yan Zhen's intentions? It was just that how could she kill the reverse scale?

Closing her eyes, she smiled wryly in her heart. Even though the Baima Emperor had repeatedly injured her and killed Li Hantian, she could not harm him when faced with the current weak and sickly Huo Ni Lin.

"Yan Zhen, I know what you are worried about. Trust me, I will settle this matter well. You only need to pacify the people my father left behind and try your best to support me. I will not let the Emperor hurt you, nor will I let the Emperor hurt the heirs left behind by my royal father. "

"The Empress wishes to recall the young prince. The soldiers left behind by the Prince of Fengyuan probably already received the grievous news. How was the Empress going to appease these people? That would be a huge three hundred thousand strong army. If they cause trouble, the Southern Champion would be worrisome, and the Ancestral Dragon would be worrisome. "

"Believe in Shang Qiuyuan. He will take care of this matter. At this moment, it is time for him to return to the Southern Champion City and stabilize the situation." As long as he can take control of his father's troops, pacify those soldiers, and lead his troops back to the imperial court, the situation will naturally settle down. "

"Is the Empress not worried that the Young Prince will grow up in Fengyuan? "Won't you go back to the palace?"

"Yan Zhen, are you not confident in me, or are you not confident in Shang Qiuyuan?"

Yan Zhen coldly replied, "This subject only knows that even the prince will be killed. The young prince has always been very resourceful and cautious, not following in his footsteps. "Before the prince left, he entrusted military power to those with high status in Fengyuan. If the young prince were to accept his troops, it would not be a rare thing for him to become the sovereign of Fengyuan, even if he were to become its own emperor."

Ji Tian Ning smiled. "Yan Zhen, the two of us should make a bet. If you lose, you should be loyal to me and not have any second thoughts. If I lose, I will offer this throne with both hands to my royal father's son, and then I will leave this place and hand over everything within the imperial court to you. "

Yan Zhen's cold eyes flashed, "This humble subject is ashamed of myself for not following your orders to gamble."

"I bet that the class rep will still be loyal to me. How about that?"

"The Empress is so confident. Your subject dares not accompany you, but if the Empress loses, the emperor …"

"If I lose, I'll leave. I'll leave everything here to you. There's no need for me to worry."

"This subject will gamble with the Empress. The Empress is the woman this humble subject admires the most. This humble subject will ensure that the Empress is safe and sound."

Ji Tian Ning had brought He Yuchuan to power, as well as the officials who had been disgraced by He Yuting seven years ago. Many of those people were still being imprisoned. After being released by Ji Tian Ning, they were naturally grateful and willing to lend a hand for Ji Tian Ning.

He Yuchuan was conferred with the title of Right Prime Minister, and Yong Lianyun was conferred with the title of Left Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister was the highest official position among the officials of Nanke and other countries. Sometimes called the prime minister, often known as the Prime Minister, abbreviated as the "phase."

There was usually only one prime minister, commonly known as the prime minister. Sometimes, they were divided into two prime ministers, the right Prime Minister who was in charge of the country's affairs. Prime Minister Zuo was the emperor's "personal advisor" and did not need to manage the country's affairs.

Originally, the Southern Champion only had one Prime Minister, Yong Lianyun. However, he had never had any real power, and thus, he was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the King in the sky. Now that Ji Tian had set up the Left and Right Prime Ministers and re-used He Yichuan as the Right Prime Minister, Yong Lianyun continued to be held up in the air.

Having promoted a batch of newcomers, these newcomers had all indicated to Ji Tian Ning that they would do their best to assist the Empress. They were well aware that without this esteemed empress, their lives would have been bleak, and they would have even died in prison.

In front of all the generals, Shang Qiuyuan had drafted a memorial, imploring that the Emperor should bury the Emperor in the name of the King. He also requested that the Emperor bestow the title of Emperor and bestow upon all the warriors present.
