Chapter 703: Violent Proton + Crazy Princess 69
The emperor was like a beast trapped in a cage. Although his heart was full of resentment and anger, he was still unable to break free from the restraints when facing the powerful Yun Youran.
In the face of absolute strength, the arm can never be stronger than the thigh.
Finally, under the witness of the two princes and Princess Zhaoyang, the emperor slowly picked up the imperial brush with trembling hands, dipped it in ink, and then, on the bright yellow silk, he wrote with difficulty the abdication edict and the imperial decree announcing that Yun Youran would inherit the throne.
Every word he wrote seemed to have exhausted all the emperor's life's strength. When the last stroke was completed, he seemed to have his soul sucked out of him. He suddenly became extremely old, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
The emperor's eyes, which used to be majestic and sharp, now only contained endless sinisterness and grimness.
He stared at Yun Youran in front of him, gritting his teeth and said, "Are you satisfied now? Queen of Yuan Kingdom!"
As he spoke, a thick hatred gushed out of his mouth.
In response to the emperor's question, Yun Youran just smiled lightly and waved her hand gracefully.
Upon seeing this, the secret guards at the side immediately stepped forward and carefully put away the two imperial edicts that had just been written and still exuded a faint scent of ink.
After the imperial edict was put away, Yun Youran responded slowly: "I am very satisfied. Thank you for your love for me, father."
Hearing her words, Princess Zhaoyang, who was standing aside, was so angry that she trembled all over, her eyes were red as blood, and the fire of jealousy in her heart was burning so fiercely that she almost lost her mind and fell into a state of madness.
She could never have imagined that Yun Youran could actually obtain these two crucial imperial edicts so smoothly.
So, does it mean that as long as you have enough ability, you can also come and compete for it?
Thinking of this, Princess Zhaoyang's desire became stronger and her eyes became more ferocious.
She felt that if Yun Youran could do it, she could do it too.
After getting the two imperial edicts, Yun Youran left.
After walking a few steps, she turned around and said, "You all have to stay here obediently! Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will be able to see the sun tomorrow."
Pojun did not go with her this time, but stayed to look after the emperor.
As for Princess Zhaoyang and the two princes, as long as they don't leave, why bother with them!
The long night passed in a flash, as if in just the blink of an eye, the eastern sky had already begun to turn slightly pale.
Yun Youran got up and quickly finished washing up.
She carefully selected the clothes she would wear today, dressed herself neatly and meticulously, and then walked towards the Golden Throne Hall with firm steps.
At this time, court officials were also arriving at the Golden Palace one after another.
When they stepped into the hall, the first thing they saw was Yun Youran who had been waiting in the hall.
Everyone looked surprised, their hearts filled with curiosity and confusion, and they whispered to each other.
Not long after, Eunuch Ji carefully supported the emperor and walked slowly towards them, while Po Jun followed closely behind, as majestic as a door god protecting the emperor.
When the emperor sat firmly on the dragon throne, all the court officials immediately shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor!"
The sound resounded throughout the entire hall, majestic and powerful.
The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, emitting an aura of majesty that was intimidating without even being angry.
He raised his hand slightly and said in his deep and magnetic voice: "My dear ministers, please stand up."
Hearing these words, the ministers stood up to express their gratitude and stood respectfully in their places.
The emperor's eyes first swept across the court officials below, and finally stopped on Eunuch Ji and Po Jun.
Eunuch Ji understood what he meant and hurriedly took the two bright yellow imperial edicts from Pojun. Then he cleared his throat and prepared to read the edicts.
Eunuch Ji held the bright yellow imperial edict in both hands and read out the abdication decree word by word in a sharp and loud voice.
After it was finished, all the courtiers in the court were stunned. They were all like they were under a spell and were completely dumbfounded.
Everyone began to wonder, was the emperor crazy, or was there something wrong with their ears and they were hallucinating?
After all, the current emperor is in his prime and has always been in good health. He usually handles state affairs in an orderly and effortless manner. How could he suddenly do such a shocking thing?
——Announce your abdication?
Time seemed to stand still. After a long while, these court officials came to their senses as if awakened from a dream, and then began to comfort the emperor.
However, the emperor at this time kept staring at Yun Youran who was standing in the center of the hall, his eyes full of expectation and hope. He only hoped that she could listen to the court officials' earnest persuasion, and change her mind, and change his previous idea of asking him to abdicate.
However, Yun Youran just stood there quietly, like a sculpture, not moving at all, and even refused to say a word.
She had a blank expression on her face, as if she had isolated everything and everyone around her from her own world, presenting an indifferent attitude as if she was oblivious to what was happening outside.
At this time, the Prime Minister finally couldn't hold back his anxiety and worry, he walked out of the crowd with big strides, fell to his knees with a plop, and said earnestly:
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not feasible! You are now in the prime of your life, and it is the time for you to make great plans and create great achievements. How can you easily abdicate? I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting!"
Faced with the sincere dissuasion from the prime minister and other court officials, the emperor secretly groaned in his heart.
In fact, he didn't want to abdicate at all. He was forced to do so.
The emperor looked at the prime minister and said, "My dear minister, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind."
The old tutor stood up and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, since you have announced your abdication, have you decided who will inherit the throne?"
A minister stepped forward and said, "Do we still need to be sure? Isn't the prince the best candidate?"
Only then did everyone realize that the prince did not come to court today.
"Your Majesty, where is the Crown Prince? You announced your abdication today, why didn't the Crown Prince come?"
The emperor had a very ugly look on his face. He didn't want to scold the court officials anymore. He glanced at Eunuch Ji and asked him to quickly read the imperial edict to pass the throne to Yun Youran.
Only after the reading was completed could he leave.
Anyway, he can't go out today without the imperial edict, so why waste time!
Since Yun Youran wants to get to the top so much, then everything from now on will be left to her. Let's see how she competes with these shrewd court officials in terms of wits and courage.
As for Yun Youran herself, she doesn't want to fight with wits or courage at all, she only knows how to speak with violence.
