Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

Chapter 196 Female Supreme Yuanjun 19

The emperor woke up three days later. When she learned about the person who poisoned her and her future fate, she surprisingly did not get angry. Instead, she remained silent for a long time before ordering Guiqing to be given poisoned wine and the Qi family to be confiscated and exiled.

Compared to the princess who was eager to send someone to abolish her biological father's hand in order to protect her secret, Le Xiaoyu finally retained some friendship for the man she once loved, gave him the last dignity, and let his family live.

Qi Ziqian, who was passed down in history as a legendary queen in the previous life, died silently in the sky prison. A thin coffin was carried out and buried, and there was not even a person to see him off.

Perhaps she had completely lost hope for the future. Le Xiaoyu did not live for two years as the imperial physician had predicted. She was paralyzed in bed for more than a year and died painfully in midsummer with bedsores all over her back.

She was still in her prime before, and never thought that she would die at such a young age, so she never built an imperial mausoleum for herself. Yang Yan hated her too much, let alone consider these things for her.

So Le Xiaoyu, who was posthumously named "Ai", became the emperor with the simplest burial since the founding of the country. It was also from her dynasty that most emperors in the future chose simple burials.

The sudden death of her mother made the crown princess feel much more joy than sorrow. Although the emperor valued her as the only daughter born to his beloved over the years, she was busy with government affairs after all and did not have much time to accompany him.

If you count carefully, the original owner spent the most time and energy on her. He treated her so sincerely and could betray her mercilessly. How sad can a mother who could not bring her any benefits be expected to be about her death?

Moreover, once the emperor died, she, as the crown princess, took over the throne. When she showed her strength in the court and developed her own power, and when she became stronger, she would drive Yuan Jun off the stage. In the future, she would no longer have to worry about her identity being exposed.

Le Qianyi had a beautiful thought, but she didn't know that the excited hearts of the ministers were instantly chilled when they saw the princess who had not appeared for many years.

A year ago, her body was already weak, and now her complexion was visibly worse. The ministers didn't dare to say it, but they were muttering in their hearts that this princess looked like she was going to die young!

Thinking that the princess had not appeared for several years because she was poisoned and recuperating in the palace, and thinking that they were the emperor who died because of the poison, even the most loyal ministers did not ask her to ascend the throne. After all, no one was willing to have an emperor die every three years!

Le Qianyi didn't know that her position was in jeopardy, and she was still happily waiting for the ministers to ask her to ascend the throne. She actively appeared at the funeral of Emperor Ai every day, acting like a filial daughter and a virtuous grandson, and then she fell ill as expected.

The Crown Princess fainted in public in the mourning hall, and the ministers shook their heads secretly. How could such a weak body shoulder the heavy responsibility of the throne?

Why did Yuanjun have only this one daughter? If there was another one, as long as he was half as capable as Yuanjun, even a prince would not be unacceptable.

The ministers were so worried about the future of the country that they even put aside the struggle for power. Former political enemies actually sat together to discuss how to dispel Yuanjun's idea of ​​making the Crown Princess the emperor and choose another suitable person.

It didn't matter whether she was capable or not. Anyway, Yuanjun was behind the scenes. As long as she was healthy and could pass on a daughter, Yuanjun was long-lived and could naturally cultivate a qualified heir.

The funeral of Emperor Ai had not yet passed, and the entire court began to stir. The most active ones were the imperial aunts and nieces of the Le family, who brought their little girls to show up every day. Some of them were so crazy that they even did not let go of the babies in their cradles.

The second was the people of Cen's aunt's family. Since Yang Yan had been in control of the entire court, they had become a little arrogant. It was only when Cen Geng took the opportunity to punish several young people that they restrained themselves and did not really cause trouble.

However, the temptation of the throne was huge. Even though Cen Geng had rejected it sternly, the Cen family still did not give up and ran to the palace with their children all day long.

Unfortunately, Yang Yan and his mother had the same idea. They had never thought of letting the Cen family inherit the throne, so they were destined to do nothing and hardly even see him.

The funniest thing was that someone actually tried to send a female favorite to him. Was this to prepare for him to have another heir and take the opportunity to ascend to the throne?

Yang Yan smiled helplessly, then sent the people back, and demoted the official position of the courtier who had performed such a flattering act, and this group of people stopped obediently.

However, they were not completely useless. At least they gave him a signal. On the same day, he summoned a few confidants and gave them some instructions quietly.

Emperor Ai was buried after 27 days of mourning, which officially put an end to her short career as an emperor, and the ascension of the new emperor became an imminent issue.

The Crown Princess finally recovered from her illness in the East Palace. Although her body was a little weaker, her spirit was better than ever. On the day of the grand court, she got up early, took care of herself properly, and waited happily for someone to invite her to court.

But she waited and waited, from the beginning of the sunrise to the zenith of the sun, but she didn't see the person she was looking forward to. The calmness at the beginning also became anxious and uneasy.

Just when she couldn't help but break into the former court to find out for herself, she finally got the news, or should I say it was bad news - the ministers actually abandoned her, the Crown Princess, and requested Yuan Jun to ascend the throne!

Le Qianyi collapsed in the chair. Although the spy said that Yuanjun did not accept the offer, she was well aware of the education she had received since childhood. This was just Cen Yangyan's trick. After three refusal and three declines, the throne was in his hands.

How could this happen? Those ministers actually left her, the legitimate crown princess, unsupported, and instead supported a man to the throne. He was just an ignorant man. How could he make them bow their heads?

Le Qianyi was angry and anxious, and her eyes rolled back and she fainted again.

This time her illness was fierce, more serious than the last time. It took her three days to wake up. At this time, as she expected, Yang Yan "could not refuse" and accepted the request of the ministers, and had asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose a day to ascend the throne.

At the same time, he also issued another decree to set up a study room in the palace and order the children of the Le family under the age of eight to study in the palace.

He said that the princesses and grandchildren of the emperor would go to the palace to study, but everyone with a discerning eye knew that he meant to choose an heir from the Le family. As soon as this edict was issued, the Cen family instantly became as quiet as chickens, the royal relatives stopped jumping up and down, and the ministers' hearts were also at peace.

After hearing this, Le Qianyi realized that her situation was over. Now, let alone the throne, even the position of the princess was in danger. She immediately spit out a mouthful of old blood and fainted again.

After being stimulated one after another, she dragged on for more than half a year before she barely recovered. Her health was worse than before. She could walk around the palace before, but now she was so weak that she could hardly get up.

She could clearly feel that her life was gradually passing away, but she did not dare to ask the imperial physician to confirm her guess. She buried her head in her feathers like a quail, as if she would not listen or think about certain things and they would not happen.

However, things often don't go as planned. Just like she secretly prayed to God every day, she was still deposed as the crown princess two years after the new emperor ascended the throne, and the jade disc was changed to record her as the guilty minister Yu.

Such a big thing did not cause any waves in the court. One reason was that Yang Yan's control over the entire court was even greater than before, and the other was that the ministers had actually guessed it in the past few years.

He never concealed his dislike for Le Qianyi in front of others, and he had no scruples about letting the news that he never met the crown princess spread out of the palace. It stands to reason that there is no conflict of interest between him and the crown princess, because she is not qualified to be his opponent.

So what reason would make a father hate his only daughter?

After excluding all options, there is only one left, unless the crown princess is not the daughter of the male emperor at all. After all, the child crawled out of a woman's belly, and only a woman can guarantee that it is her own child, and it is not difficult for a man to be deceived.

Yang Yan's decree directly confirmed everyone's guesses. The court ladies didn't have much feeling when they heard about it, but their husbands kept it in mind.

Those without children became more vigilant, and those with children always had to use their hands to investigate before they could feel at ease. Not to mention that there were some who found out that the daughters they had raised for many years were not their own children.

These are all later stories, but after receiving the decree, Le Qianyi realized that her guess was indeed true. The stone that had been weighing on her heart for a long time was removed, and she should have breathed a sigh of relief, but her body trembled uncontrollably.

Her heart was full of fear, and she was always afraid that the emperor's people would rush in and give her a cup of poisoned wine or use more vicious methods to end her life.

But in fact, Yang Yan did nothing. He only sent people to move her out of the East Palace and to the Princess Palace where she should have been, and then he didn't care about her anymore.

Seeing that he really had no intention of dealing with her, Le Xiaoyu finally let go of her worries. However, she soon discovered that the male emperor was not kind enough to let her go, but that there was no need to do anything extra.

A daughter of a guilty minister, who was not favored by the emperor, could imagine how she would live in the palace, not to mention that her health was very poor.

She didn't even need those slaves who took advantage of the situation to make things difficult for her. She moved from the spacious and bright East Palace to the small Princess Palace, and she fell ill without a large number of smart people to serve her.

There were no meals cooked according to her taste at any time, no imperial doctors on call for ten hours, and the palace servants were lazy and did not serve her wholeheartedly. Le Qianyi's illness never recovered after she moved to the new place. She dragged on for three years and finally died of exhaustion.

Yang Yan didn't treat her badly. He buried her according to the specifications of an ordinary princess, and then completely forgot about her.

In this life, he lived to be eighty years old. The royal relatives who had ambitiously sent their children to the Shangshufang watched their children grow up and leave. A new batch of children were sent to the palace again. The male emperor did not appoint a crown prince until they died.

Yang Yan reigned for fifty-two years, and he had been quietly improving the status of men. It was not until he was seventy that he chose a great-grandson as the crown princess.

He did not choose someone who was too smart and capable, but instead chose someone who was mediocre in all aspects. The only reason she won over others was that she was in line with his ideas and could continue to manage the country according to his plan.

As for whether she could sit firmly on the throne, Yang Yan was not worried at all. He had decided to move the cabinet system that had been promoted in another world. Once the power was dispersed, it would be difficult to take it back, and it would not be so easy for other royal family members to rebel.

After arranging everything, he closed his eyes peacefully and left this world.
