He went forward to read out the Grand Empress’s decree.

“Dongli’s failure to stay in the palace has caused one incident after another. This is my shame, and I am deeply ashamed. However, the country can not go a day without a ruler. There is not a single Prince of the previous emperor, so I have issued an edict today that li Prince Xiao Jiuyuan will temporarily take over this matter. If li Prince is interested in the throne of Dongli, then he will succeed it. If li Prince is not interested in the throne of Dongli, then choose a good Emperor who is upright, magnanimous, and dedicated to the people. That’s all.”

In the hall, there was a moment of silence. What did he mean by ‘if li Prince is not interested in Dong Li’s throne, then let li Prince choose a good Emperor for Dong Li’?’

Could it be that li Prince had no interest in the throne? if he had intended to be the Emperor of Dong Li, why would the Empress Dowager give such an edict?

The officials discussed spiritedly in the hall.

Only Xiao Jiuyuan’s eyes were dark, and his heart was filled with unspeakable pain. It turned out that his mother had always known him and knew that he had no interest in Dongli’s throne.

It’s a pity that Imperial brother didn’t believe it. If he believed in his mother’s words, how could all of this have happened?

Xiao Jiuyuan stood silently in the hall.

Until all the ministers below spoke in unison,””We invite Prince Li to be the new emperor of Dongli.”

Originally, they were worried that li Prince would be ruthless, but now that they heard the Empress Dowager’s decree, they were uneasy again. If li Prince was not the Emperor, then who was the most suitable?

They couldn’t see anything.

No, no, li Prince must be the Emperor.

Xiao Jiuyuan looked at the Black Mass of people kneeling in the hall and finally said slowly,””I will not be Dong Li’s Emperor, but I already have a candidate in mind.”

His Highness and the ministers looked at each other again, and then they were speechless.

He was desperately thinking about who Xiao Jiuyuan was going to let succeed to the throne of Dongli.

Hearing Xiao Jiuyuan’s words, Yun Qianyu was quite happy.

However, she thought of Xiao Jiuyuan’s words. Dong Li’s throne had always been the Xiao family ‘S. Xiao Jiuyuan would never pass the throne to someone of a different surname, so his throne would definitely be passed on to the Xiao family. There was only one person who was also a member of the Xiao family and had the ability to bear the responsibility.

Yun Qianyu quickly looked at Xiao Yechen.

Xiao Yechen was confused. If the ninth Imperial uncle didn’t want to be the Emperor, who would he let succeed him?

If this person was afraid of the people of the an Prince’s residence, would he have the idea of making a move on the an Prince’s residence in the end?

As he was deep in thought, Xiao Yechen didn’t notice that Yun Qianyu was looking at him.

Until Xiao Jiuyuan’s body began to shake,””Where is the Crown Prince of the an Prince’s residence?”

Xiao Yechen was shocked and walked out,””Your subject is here.”

“As the temporary person in charge of court Affairs, I have the right to appoint a new emperor for Dongli. So, I appoint you as the new emperor of Dongli.”

As soon as he said that, everyone in the palace was stunned.

The son of an Qinwang would be the new emperor.

The ministers and Xiao Yechen were stunned.

Xiao Yechen was the first to react and immediately shook his head,””Ninth Imperial uncle, I don’t have the ability to be Dongli’s Emperor.”

“No one is born to be an Emperor. Although your ability is not the best, you have an upright and clear heart. In the future, as long as you think about the people of Dongli, you will be loved and respected by the people. So, take the throne.”

Xiao Yechen was stunned.
