Suddenly, shouts of "Long Live the Emperor" echoed throughout the Taihe Hall.
This was the first time in history that Taihe Hall, accustomed to cheers of "Ten Thousand Years," welcomed the cries of "Congratulations on Your 100th Birthday" for a princess consort.
Civil and military officials, bending at the waist, performed a half-bow.
Su Jinpa stood alone before the court officials, aloof and detached from the world.
Her red lips parted, and a gentle, refined voice emanated from her vermilion mouth. “My lords and ladies, please rise.”
After bowing, Su Jinping smiled gently and said: "According to protocol, as a concubine, I should not interfere in matters of state. However, I am here today because the Emperor is unwell and unable to handle government affairs. Also, the Crown Prince is at the front lines, currently battling on the battlefield. News has just come that Yueya Pass has fallen, and I imagine the court officials are in turmoil. Therefore, I have come to see for myself."
"Also, let the officials understand that even if the Crown Prince is not here, this palace remains. The Li imperial clan is still here."
Although Su Jinping's tone remained gentle, what he said last echoed in the officials' ears like a thunderclap.
At the border, as the moon rose, he bowed and said in a low voice, "Even the Crown Princess herself said that the imperial harem is forbidden from interfering in politics. This is an iron rule. Since the Crown Princess only said she was here to take a look, then please have the Crown Princess leave the Taihe Hall and watch the ceremony outside the hall so as not to be accused of interfering in politics and make the Crown Prince embarrassed."
This statement is extremely rude.
Those guarding the borders also have their own hardships that they understand.
If it weren't for Fu Yuzhi forcing him to come forward, he wouldn't dare to be the first to stand out at this crucial juncture.
The Crown Princess... that's truly not someone to mess with.
As expected, after Border Moon uttered these brave words, Su Jinpa looked over.
"Who is this person"
Xu Changqing immediately stepped forward to introduce, "This is the newly appointed Minister of Justice, Yue Bian from the border."
Su Jinpa nodded and said, "So you're the Minister of Dali Temple. No wonder you insist on the iron laws of our dynasty. This is a good thing."
Though it’s a good thing, Su Jin changed the subject, saying calmly, “The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but what if His Highness gave permission”
As soon as these words were spoken, the border guards were immediately flustered.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Does the Crown Princess have any decree from His Highness to present as evidence"
"Do we have to write every word our spouses say in an imperial decree for you to see" Su Jinpa's retort turned Bian Guan Yue's face crimson.
He really wanted to say that the Crown Princess was being a nuisance.
It is said that it was granted by the prince, but the prince is not in the capital now, which is equivalent to having no evidence. Whether it is black or white, it all depends on what the princess says.
Su Jinpa sent Bian Guan Yue away with two sentences. She turned to Zhao Xuanji and said calmly, "Just now outside the palace, this palace heard that Mr. Zhao intends to suspend the Prince's regency"
Zhaoxuanji said calmly, "The prince is incompetent and should reflect on himself."
While others feared Su Jinpa, he wasn't afraid.
Even if Su Jinping came, in his eyes, the only one in this Taihe Hall who could make him wary was always the ever-silent Su Zhetong.
But Su Jinpa's next words shocked the courtiers and even made Zhao Xuanji, his face flushed with embarrassment.
"If Lord Zhao believes that the Crown Prince is incompetent and therefore seizes his regency, what if one day Lord Zhao thinks the Emperor is also incompetent Will he then take the throne himself"
Su Jinpa's finger pointed at the glittering dragon throne.
That chair, representing the supreme authority over the world.
Zhao Xuanji's face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Crown Princess, be careful with your words!"
"Be careful what you say."
Su Jinpa raised his voice and shouted: "The prince has said that under the heaven, all are the king's land, and those within the land are the king's subjects. When did you, the king's subjects, dare to act as the host and usurp the power of choosing the heir apparent!"aration for Su Pingbei's expedition as the commander.The Qin Empire's national strength had declined.
