He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

So he must make those who hurt his daughter pay.

Perhaps her life was about to end, and the queen became a little gentle towards the emperor. She took the initiative to hug the emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, I will go back to the palace to change into clean clothes and leave with you. What do you want to see me wearing?" One piece?”

The emperor's lips raised a hint of joy, "The goose yellow one is the one that suits you best."

The queen nodded, turned and left, and Concubine Xie and Chu Lingyuan walked into the palace.

Looking at the mother and son walking in side by side, the emperor had a kind smile on his face, and a hint of sigh appeared in his eyebrows: "The people I have been most sorry for in these years are you, mother and son."

Concubine Xie entered the palace at the age of eighteen, which coincided with the period when the emperor was most obsessed with the queen, so she fell out of favor in just a few days. Fortunately, God was merciful and allowed her to become pregnant in just a few days. This gave Chu Lingyuan some hope for the days to come.

Concubine Xie smiled and said, "It is a great blessing for me to be able to enter the palace and stay with His Majesty for many years."

The greatest intelligence of Concubine Xie is that she has never loved the emperor, so she doesn't feel much joy when she is favored, and she doesn't feel much sadness when she loses favor.

What she was most grateful to the emperor for was that he sent Chu Lingyuan to her.

Concubine Xie regarded Chu Lingyuan as a treasure, so she never fought for favor. When she learned that the queen intended to assassinate Chu Lingyuan, she changed her previous leisurely attitude and began to win over courtiers, cultivate power, and send Chu Lingyuan away step by step. Get to the highest position in the world.

The emperor pursed his lips and smiled. He knew that Concubine Xie was the smartest in the entire harem.

She is sober, decisive, and behaves in a measured manner, so the Chu Lingyuan she trained also looks like this.

Even Wang Huai didn't know that the emperor had decided on the candidate for the next emperor ten years ago——

Chu Lingyuan.

Because Chu Lingyuan not only has the intelligence and palace that an emperor should have, but also has the kindness and love for the people that other princes do not have, he is truly the best choice for the emperor.

Originally, the emperor was planning to find an excuse to depose Chu Lingxiu after Chu Lingyuan established his government, but he did not expect that Chu Lingxiu could not wait until this day.

After telling Chu Lingyuan to live in harmony with Prince Jing'an and to work diligently and love the people, the emperor personally handed over the imperial seal to Chu Lingyuan.

As soon as the weight in his hand was light, the emperor felt that his whole body felt much more relaxed.

"From now on, the future of Dachu will be entrusted to you. I believe that you will be a good emperor who will benefit all people."

Chu Lingyuan knelt down to accept the order, but the emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to go out and call Lu Yanchenqing over.

Concubine Xie retreated to one side, with a faint look of sadness on her face. Although she didn't love her, after all, they were never indifferent to each other.

Seeing the young couple standing side by side, the emperor felt satisfied, with a hint of memory in his eyebrows, "Back then, your father and mother were like this when they stood together, a talented man and a beautiful woman, with endless affection."

However, Lu Tingyu and Mo Wansheng were not as lucky as Lu Yan and Shen Qing.

As he spoke, he took out a gold medal for immunity from death from under the pillow and handed it to Lu Yan, "The imperial edict and the iron certificate of the elixir are the source of many years of disputes between the royal family and Prince Jing'an, so I took them back. I will give this gold medal for immunity from death to you, but I hope you never use it."

Lu Yan stepped forward and took it with both hands, "Lu Yan thanks your majesty."

The emperor smiled, his eyes falling on Shen Qing behind him, "I have to say, Ayan has really good taste... ahem..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor coughed heavily, and bright red blood bloomed in his hands, which looked shocking.

Concubine Xie took out her silk handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe the emperor's hands clean, then returned to her original position.

She had always been this way towards the emperor, considerate and gentle, but never overstepped.

After coughing up blood, the clarity in the emperor's eyes gradually disappeared, and he gradually became blurred.

The deadline is approaching.

The queen walked in from outside the palace, flanked by Chu Qingyi who hurried into the palace.

Seeing the queen dressed in a goose-yellow brocade dress and only wearing two gold walking sticks in her hair, the emperor felt as if he had returned to that spring day twenty-two years ago.

The emperor clearly remembered that it was the Flower Festival on February 15th that year. Jiang Lingyi walked towards him in a goose-yellow brocade dress and walked straight into his heart.

This stay lasted for twenty-two years.

"Jiang'er..."

The emperor stretched out his hand towards the queen, who took two steps forward, took the rare opportunity to hold his palm, and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, Jiang Er is here."

During the twenty-two years when the emperor was obsessed with Jiang Lingyi, Jiang Lingyi had been chasing Lu Tingyu's back. Only today did she realize that the person she should love was always behind her.

After so many years of chasing, she was tired. Now, leaving with the emperor as the queen seemed to be a good outcome.

After lifting the emperor up a little, the queen asked him to take one last look at Qingyi, "Your Majesty, Qingyi is here, our daughter is here, please take a look at her again."

The emperor looked at Chu Qingyi and raised the corners of his mouth happily, "Qingyi... you are really like your mother when she was young. My father hopes that you will be happy and safe in this life."

Chu Qingyi's title Ning Huan was the emperor's strongest wish.

Chu Qingyi's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs, "Father, don't abandon Qingyi."

Although Chu Qingyi lost all her memories after taking Forgetfulness, she could still see who was really good to her.

In the entire palace, the one who loved her the most was the emperor.

The emperor smiled, "Everyone has to die, there's nothing to be sad about. As long as you are fine, your father will be relieved."

After he finished speaking, the emperor coughed up blood again, and left the last words to Chu Lingyuan, "Yuan'er, there is no need to make a big funeral for me, and there is no need to mourn for three months. The New Year is coming soon, and I don't want to see a dead Shengjing."

Chu Lingyuan nodded with tears in his eyes.

After explaining all the funeral affairs, the emperor slightly grasped the queen's fingertips, "Jiang'er, in the next life, look at me, okay?"

Before the queen could speak, she saw a trace of black blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, but she just raised her hand and wiped it without caring, and solemnly replied "Okay".

If there is a next life, the queen doesn't want to be so tired. She wants to find a husband who is in her heart and eyes, and live a stable life.

Getting the answer he had been waiting for for a lifetime, the emperor closed his eyes in satisfaction.

At the same time, the queen was poisoned and lay beside the emperor, passing away peacefully.

The funeral bells rang, one after another, almost throughout the palace.

The emperor passed away, the empress passed away, this was the first time such a big thing happened in the 200 years since the founding of the Great Chu.

The ministers who had already gone to bed got up and dressed, and hurried towards the direction of the palace.

The whole palace was white, and even the night wind became a little colder.

Concubine Xie and Chu Lingyuan calmly handled the funeral of the emperor and the empress. Shen Qing and Lu Yan stood quietly by the side until the afternoon of three days later, when they were allowed to leave the palace.

Because the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the funeral of the emperor and the empress was about to be prepared, and the ministers jointly wrote to ask Chu Lingyuan to ascend the throne.

On the eighth day of the eleventh month, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed his imperial title to Jinghe, and used Jinghe as the calendar.

In the first year of Jinghe, on the ninth day of the eleventh month, the new emperor pardoned the world and rewarded the former prince for his usurpation of the throne a few days ago.

All the party members of the former crown prince Chu Lingxiu were dismissed from their posts. Those who participated in the rebellion were imprisoned on the spot, and the whole family was affected.

The first to bear the brunt was Cui Shangshu, who was the most trusted by Chu Lingxiu.

First, he colluded with Chu Lingxiu to win over the court officials, and then provided a large amount of money for Chu Lingxiu's rebellion, so Chu Lingyuan directly dismissed him from the post of Shangshu, imprisoned him, and confiscated Cui's mansion, and all the property in the mansion was handed over to the national treasury.

After Cui Shangshu, more than half of the ministers of the six ministries were either given a large amount of money to Chu Lingxiu or followed Chu Lingxiu's lead. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he naturally could not keep these court officials with two hearts, so they resigned one after another. Fortunately, only a few of them had their entire families confiscated.

After the civil officials, it was the military generals... After a series of operations, half of the officials in the court were gone in an instant.

After the punishment, it was the reward.

But before that, Chu Lingyuan first dismissed Prime Minister Gu from his position as prime minister.

Although Prime Minister Gu did not participate in the rebellion, he has been acting improperly over the years, accepting bribes and plundering the people. He is not worthy of being the head of the hundreds of officials, but considering that he has been devoted to the Great Chu for many years, he is allowed to retire and return home early.

Prime Minister Gu had anticipated this day as early as the day Chu Lingxi was demoted, so he knelt down to receive the order without saying anything.

So far, the people with different intentions in the court have been almost purged.

The greatest contributions to the rescue of the emperor were made by General Xuanyi, Marquis Wulie, Marquis Pingxi and Lu Yan.

General Xuanyi was named Marquis Zhongyong and commanded 100,000 troops in the east. At the same time, he was granted mansions, fields and shops, all of which were the highest treatment of the marquis.

Marquis Wulie was named Duke Anguo. In addition to commanding the Shengjing City Defense Army, he also temporarily took over the remaining 20,000 guards.

However, because he was too seriously injured, Wu Liehou... No, it's time to call An Guogong. An Guogong was recovering in the mansion and was unable to attend the morning court, so Chu Lingyuan sent a decree.

Pingxihou led troops to rescue the emperor, which was also a great contribution, but his wife Tan colluded with the rebels, causing many soldiers to suffer innocently, so his merits and demerits offset each other, and no reward or punishment was given.

Lu Yan and Shen Qing were the same. When the rebels were rampant in Shengjing City and the people were panicking, they ordered the guards in the mansion to kill the rebels and saved many lives. At the same time, Lu Yan also entered the palace to kill the enemy and rescue the emperor, and Shen Qing broke the Zhengyang Gate psychedelic formation so that the Qi family army could successfully enter the palace. His merits were very great, but the rebel leader, the former King Jing'an, supported the prince and led troops to rebel, which was a great treason. At the same time, it caused the people in the palace to suffer and countless deaths and injuries, so it can only be regarded as a balance of merits and demerits, and there is no reward or punishment.

After the reward, Chu Lingyuan promoted many poor children to fill the vacant positions in the court. At the same time, he asked Yuan Lang, the former assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the new minister, to start preparing for the next year's spring examination from now on, and he was bound to elect a group of clean and talented officials for the court.

Finally, Chu Lingyuan mentioned that he was assassinated by Chu Lingxiu a few months ago, and it was Yun Xiaoxiao, the eldest lady of Yuncheng, who saved his life when he was on the verge of death. Therefore, Yun Han, the lord of Yuncheng, was named Pingyang Earl, and the whole Yun family was allowed to return to Shengjing.

The ministers couldn't help but wonder, it was the eldest lady of the Yun family who saved the emperor, why was it her father who was rewarded, but Chu Lingyuan obviously didn't mean to tell them, so the ministers simply let the matter pass.

Chu Lingyuan arranged all the affairs in the court in an orderly manner, and Concubine Xie handled the affairs of the six palaces in detail. With the cooperation of mother and son, the former court and the harem became clearer and clearer.

…

The days were getting colder, and Shen Qing's belly was getting bigger and bigger.

Now she was two months pregnant, and all kinds of pregnancy reactions came one after another, morning sickness, fatigue, and most importantly, Shen Qing's mood became more and more anxious.

The novice father and the wife-loving maniac dared not say a word now.

At the same time, Jing'an Palace.

At this time, the main courtyard of Qingzhu Garden was silent. Lu Yan sat obediently on the soft couch farthest from Shen Qing, not daring to breathe.
