Chapter 937: King Zhao Issues an Edict

The next day, the Cabinet Group made a move.

Li Yinhu, under the guise of the Eighth Prince and King Zhao, issued an imperial edict.

This imperial edict first listed all the evil deeds committed by Li Chen after he took over as Regent. It listed all the officials killed and whose homes were ransacked by Li Chen, and clearly pointed out that Li Chen had murdered innocent people and abused his power.

In the imperial edict, Li Chen was portrayed as a foolish, incompetent, cruel and bloodthirsty prince.

But at the end of the manifesto, Li Yinhou dropped a bombshell.

He questioned Li Chen's bloodline.

Li Yinhu said that the current crown prince was born to a civilian woman whom Emperor Daxing favored back then. At that time, the emperor had no son. This woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. The emperor brought Li Chen into the palace and found a concubine as his biological mother, thus forging his identity.

As soon as this proclamation was issued, there was an uproar throughout the land.

No one expected that the Eighth Prince, now the King of Zhao, would dare to openly accuse the Crown Prince and even boldly announce what he claimed was the Crown Prince's true identity.

In ancient times, the purity of one's bloodline was an extremely serious matter.

Especially for royalty.

Although it is undoubtedly that the eldest heir must first be the emperor's biological son.

Even though the emperor's sons had a clear order of succession, with both legitimate and illegitimate children, their mother's lineage was still significant.

As the second prince and crown prince, Li Chen's biological mother was a concubine of the Da Emperor, a legitimate wife in the palace. His other mother was an ordinary woman from outside the palace. They were worlds apart.

So, once Li Yinhu's decree was released, the whole world erupted.

Many people are questioning the legitimacy of the current prince.

And this edict was also sent to the desk of Xi Zhengdian's palace at the first opportunity.

"This is an attempt to shake the very foundations of my palace," Li Chen said, looking at the proclamation with a cold indifference.

Li Chen only felt that this hand was very troublesome and difficult to deal with, but not very angry.

After all, he did kill someone and ransacked their home.

As for lineage, Li Chen inherited all the memories of this body, but he couldn't possibly know about things that happened right after his birth.

Whether he was born to a common woman outside the palace walls or to a concubine of the great emperor, now it is an unprovable mystery.

His nominal biological mother had died many years ago.

The Great Emperor fell into unconsciousness again.

Who can testify to such a thing

Perhaps Li Yinhu attacked from this angle precisely because he knew Li Chen couldn't explain it.

Li Chen appeared calm and collected, but Wan Jiaojiao was furious.

“This King Zhao is absolutely despicable!”

Wan Jiaojiao clenched her fists and cursed, "He seemed so humble on a daily basis, how could I not see that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing The prince treated him well, among all the princes, he was the only one given the title of king. He actually helped Zhao Xuanji against the prince, even slandering him with the excuse of his birth mother!"

Li Chen laughed and said, “Why are you angry I'm not even angry. Besides, crowning him king is like putting him on a fire. I didn’t do it out of kindness.”

Wàn Jiāojiāo was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "But, but I'm helping the Prince. The other maidservants don't care."

Li Chen let out a hearty laugh and said, "Well, among all the officials in the court, you alone have captured this palace's heart. This palace loves hearing these words from you."

Wan Jiaojiao blushed instantly and stammered, "Your Highness, they're bullying me right here, and you still have the heart to tease a servant"

"Bullying This isn't bullying at all. I'll let him laugh for two days, but wait, I'll make him cry until he can't even shed a tear."anwei's attitude became much more friendly."Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied."Shi Xuanwei burst into laughter, winking at He Kun and saying, "These aren't cheap, are they"Damn it, what a load of c...
