Fortunate Young Gentleman

The palace does not ring the bell unless it is a major event. Tang Ning did not have a specific count, but estimated that the bell should have rung more than 40 times.

The bell rang ninety-five times, and the emperor passed away.

The Chu emperor passed away at this time, and he did not know what the situation was in the palace. He looked at Chen Zhou and said, "Tell Commander Lu to be fully prepared."

After he finished speaking, he felt pain on the back of his hand. He looked down and saw that his hand was not only bitten by the little girl, but also had blood oozing out from some places.

Tang Ning shook his hand, glanced at her, and said unhappily, "Tie her up!"

Chen Zhou bowed and said, "Yes, command!"

He waited outside the city gate for a while, and then a guard came out of the city and posted an imperial edict on the wall.

Lu Teng ran to the imperial edict, took a look, and then ran over quickly, shocked: "Lord Tang, the Chu emperor passed away, and in the will, the prince was deposed and the throne was passed to Prince Xin..."

Although he did not know what happened in the palace just now, the overall situation was settled at this time, and there was nothing to worry about.

Lu Teng looked at him and asked, "Sir, we are now..."

Tang Ning turned his horse and said, "Go and pick up the princess."

After struggling for half a year, he tried his best to get the job of escorting the marriage envoy, and rushed all the way. Just after arriving in Chu, he was caught up in the undercurrent... After so much trouble, now the dust has finally settled.

The princess of Chen will not marry the deposed prince of Chu. Prince Xin loves his daughter so much that he will definitely not agree to Chen's marriage proposal. His mission in Chu has been successfully completed and he can choose a day to return to Beijing.

When Tang Ning led Lu Teng and others to a villa in the far suburbs of Kyoto, the guards at the door were as if they were facing a great enemy. After seeing the person clearly, they hurried in to report.

When Tang Ning stepped into the gate of the mansion, a figure rushed over and threw himself into his arms.

Tang Ning even staggered and almost fell down because of her collision.

Zhao Man's eyes were still sparkling. She looked up at him and choked up, saying, "I was so worried about you..."

"It's okay, it's okay..." Tang Ning patted her back and said, "It's all over."

Lu Teng stared at this scene with wide eyes. Chen Zhou stretched out his hand and dragged him out of the door, closing the door by the way.

Lu Teng looked back and murmured, "Lord Tang, Princess, this..."

"What's wrong with Lord Tang, what's wrong with the princess?" Chen Zhou looked at him and asked in confusion, "I didn't see anything just now..."

Lu Teng was stunned for a moment, and after coming to his senses, he looked at the guards in front of him and said, "You just stand outside and wait for Lord Tang and the princess to come out."

He rubbed his eyes and said, "I didn't see anything just now..."

Inside the mansion, Tang Ning gently wiped away Zhao Man's tears, looked up, and saw Li Tianlan standing a few steps in front of him.

She looked at Zhao Man, then at Tang Ning, and slowed down her slightly fast steps.

Zhao Man looked back, her face flushed, wiped her tears, and let go of Tang Ning.

Tang Ning coughed lightly, looked at Li Tianlan, and said, "The King of Chu has passed away, the Crown Prince has been deposed, and the throne has been passed to Prince Xin. The situation in Kyoto has been settled. I will take you back."

Princess Xin came out from the back and said with a complicated expression, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "The death knell has been sounded in the palace, and the imperial edict has been posted outside."

Princess Xin was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "Let's go."

When Tang Ning led them out of the mansion and helped Zhao Man into the carriage, she suddenly looked at the back of Tang Ning's hand and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with your hand? Is it injured?"

"It's okay." Tang Ning shook his hand and said, "I was accidentally bitten by a dog."

"You are the dog!" Wan Yan Yan, who was tied up, glared at him, and seemed to have the urge to pounce on him and bite him again.

Zhao Man looked at Wan Yan Yan and asked, "Why is she here again?"

Tang Ning explained, "She is our captive now."

Zhao Man glared at Wan Yan Yan, stroked the back of his hand, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore..." Others were watching from the side, Tang Ning helped her get on the carriage, and said, "It's getting late, let's hurry up."

When they left the city just now, the atmosphere in the city was still depressing, but when the group returned, the atmosphere in the capital was already jubilant.

"The prince has finally been deposed..."

"Your Majesty has passed the throne to His Royal Highness Prince Xin, and the State of Chu is saved!"

"We will have a good life in the future..."

...

The death of the emperor is a national tragedy, and it should be a matter of national mourning, but for the people in the capital, the atmosphere of celebration should be higher.

Prince Xin did not rebel, and the King of Chu gave up the throne legitimately. This matter should also be a good story in history books.

Tang Ning first sent Li Tianlan and the princess back to Prince Xin's mansion. They might not live there for long. After Prince Xin ascended the throne, the princess would become the queen, and the princess would become a princess.

The royal family of Chu seemed to have something in common. The King of Chu had only one deceased queen, and Prince Xin had only one princess. It was unknown whether they could give birth to a prince to inherit the throne in the future, but this was not something Tang Ning should consider.

The crown prince was deposed, the King of Chu passed away, and his mission on this trip had been completed, so he should also prepare to return.

Inside the palace.

Prince Xin sat alone on the steps in front of the Yangshen Hall, and the eunuchs and palace maids below were already kneeling.

An old eunuch stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting in the Council Hall, waiting for you to take charge of the situation."

Prince Xin stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Let the Ministry of Rites do it according to the regulations."

The old eunuch said again, "The Grand Master and the Grand Tutor resigned..."

"That's right."

"Your Excellency, the two of you are in trouble..."

"It's all right." King Xin waved his hand again and walked out of the palace.

The old eunuch bowed his hands and said, "Yes."

The prince was deposed and the emperor died, but it did not cause much commotion in the Chu court.

The Ministry of Rites has a complete set of procedures for the etiquette of the death of an emperor. Just follow the steps. His Majesty has been absent from the court for several years, and the court is in good order. It can still operate in an orderly manner without the emperor.

The only thing that caused a stir was the resignation of several veteran ministers of the court, the highly respected Taishi and Taifu. In addition, several young ministers in the court also chose to resign, but this was just a matter of calm on the lake. The few pebbles thrown in produced nothing but tiny ripples.

In the Splendid Palace.

What happened today has already spread throughout the capital, and the envoys of Chen State have mixed feelings in their hearts.

For the marriage, the State of Chen was fully prepared, and the dowry was extremely generous. It sent an envoy to send the princess to marry the State of Chu.

But less than a month after they arrived in the capital, the Chu State deposed the prince and overthrew the emperor, catching them by surprise.

The prince is not the prince, so their trip was in vain.

Fortunately, what happened in Chu State was an accident within an accident and had nothing to do with them. They should not be punished after returning to Beijing.

In Tang Ning's room, Zhao Man distressedly applied the medicinal powder to his hand, wrapped it with a white cloth, and then looked at Wan Yanyan who was tied up in the corner of the room, with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

She pointed at Wanyan Yan and asked Tangning, "What should we do with her?"

"The second prince and the grassland messenger have both run away, so there is no use in keeping her." Tangning thought for a moment and said, "Take her back and you will waste food, otherwise you should kill her."

"Ah?" Zhao Man's face changed, and she said, "It's not good to kill people. How about I bite her for you..."

Tangning shook her head and said, "Forget it, we prairie people don't like to take baths, and they all stink."

As if she was insulted, Wan Yanyan jumped over and said loudly: "I take a bath every day, and my whole body is fragrant. I don't believe you smell it!"

Tangning reached behind her, untied her rope, and said, "Let's go."

Wan Yanyan looked at him and asked in surprise: "Are you going to let me go?"

The second prince has run away, so there is no use keeping her. She eats so much, and unnecessary food is wasted every day she is kept.

As for destroying flowers with ruthless hands, Tang Ning had never thought about it this way. Kittens and puppies would still have feelings after being raised for a long time. He felt very uncomfortable if King Xin really had to deal with the captives he had raised for a month.

Tangning waved her hand and said, "You can leave before I change my mind."

Wanyanyan looked at him and strode outside.

When she reached the door, she turned back.

Tangning looked up at her and asked, "Is there anything else?"

She looked at Tang Ning and said confidently, "I don't know the road."
