Regency in court?
The civil and military officials, standing solemnly below the stairs of the Qianqing Palace, erupted in astonished whispers.
They knew the imperial grandson was still a toddler. And when the Emperor uttered the words 'passing away', they understood the gravity of the situation.
In such a situation, the Emperor would inevitably have to choose a trusted confidant to assist the young ruler.
But the candidate the Emperor proposed today was unacceptable to them.
In ancient times, there has never been a rule that a princess can assume the regency.
But now, the Emperor is going to let Yu Hongshang "regency in court", which they find too overbearing.
"Your Majesty!"
