Early in the morning, when the city gates were just opened, a gorgeous carriage drove into the capital. When people saw the rose mark belonging to Princess Wei's palace on the carriage, they couldn't help but express surprise.
"Princess Qionghua must be back."
"Yes, I heard that the Supreme Emperor is in poor health and has been in bed for a long time. Princess Qionghua must have come back for this reason."
Who doesn't know that the Emperor loves Princess Qionghua, his niece, the most, and that Princess Qionghua's status is no worse than that of the princesses in the palace.
As Princess Qionghua returned to the capital, keen people in the capital also realized that the Emperor's time was really running out this time.
Speaking of the Supreme Emperor, since he ascended the throne the year before last, he has really delegated power to the new emperor completely, and has no intention of fighting with the new emperor. Everyone sees that his attitude is very firm, and they can only stop and watch their father and son fight for power.
They turned to show their abilities to the new emperor. Although everyone was mentally prepared that the emperor might pass away at any time, when that day actually came, they still became nervous unconsciously.
In the palace of Princess Wei.
Qionghua Princess Su Youning's eyes were slightly red. She looked at her parents and asked, "Is my uncle's health really that bad?"
Su Yueling nodded, feeling sour in her heart. The Emperor was very kind to their family and was a gentle and loving elder. If possible, she would like to let him live for a few more years. But there is really no such thing as life-extending pills in the system.
Originally, at the end of last year, Emperor Rong Ji's health was finally getting better, but she caught a cold when she went to the garden last month, and then collapsed all of a sudden. No matter how much medicine she took, she hurriedly asked someone to help her.
Send a letter to You Ning and ask her to come back from Yaozhou.
If she had not seen him for the last time, her daughter would definitely have a lot of regrets in her heart.
"You freshen up and come into the palace with your mother and me. We will all live in the palace during the next period of time." Yuan Suijun said.
On the one hand, it’s because I don’t want to miss the last moment, and on the other hand, it’s to avoid someone taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Su Youning nodded. She was able to carry out various reform policies in Yaozhou in recent years because of her uncle's support.
She tidied up a little and soon entered the palace with her mother.
When he saw the Emperor on the hospital bed, Su Youning, who always held back his emotions, couldn't help but shed tears.
My uncle became much more haggard, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were no longer as bright as before and became cloudy.
When the Supreme Emperor saw Su Youning, he showed a pleased expression, "You have governed Yaozhou very well. Who says women are inferior to men? You and your mother are much better than most men."
Su Youning sniffed, "Thanks to my uncle and uncle for their support."
Even though her father and mother are the most noble people in Daxia and hold heavy fists, the things she did have stirred up the nerves of many people, especially many snarky ministers who are unwilling to see their women's status improve.
She used some disgusting little tricks behind her back. It was precisely because of the firm support of her uncle and uncle that she was able to implement her idea without any distractions. Thinking of her uncle's love for many years, she shed even more tears.
Rong Ji smiled instead, "It's a blessing from God that I can survive until now."
If Yueling hadn't used his merits on them, he would have died at a young age, with no children, and his country would have been usurped by his brothers. That would be called dying in peace.
In the past two years, Tuantuan has done very well. He is able to accept advice with an open mind, knows people well, and has the appearance of a wise master. He will die without regrets.
After meeting Su Youning, he called Rong Zhao, Queen Mother Gu and others over.
For Rong Zhao, no amount of advice was enough. In order to accompany his wife and concubines for many years, he left a special edict. After his death, Queen Mother Gu would go anywhere as long as she was in Daxia. As for the other concubines
Concubine, if you want to remarry, you can.
He knew that it was impossible for his wife to remarry, and he was afraid that the censors would often make excuses to use the so-called ancestral rules to keep his wife in the palace, and she would not even be able to leave the palace.
Queen Mother Gu was so sad that she could not speak.
He only has one sentence for Su Yueling, Yuan Suijun and Yuan Suifeng.
"Tuantuan will leave it to you. You will watch him grow up, and if he does something wrong, teach him well." Compared to other clans, he naturally trusts their husband and wife more.
To Rong Ji's great relief, Tuantuan Queen Han Luyan was diagnosed as two months pregnant. Unfortunately, he could not see the birth of the grandson (or granddaughter) in his belly. He knew in his heart that if he died, his son and
Daughters-in-law must observe filial piety. If Han Luyan still observes filial piety when she is pregnant, problems may arise easily even if Han Luyan is in good health. Therefore, Rong Ji specially decreed that if he dies, the queen only needs to offer incense and does not need to kneel down, let alone follow a vegetarian diet.
If, in order to observe filial piety, the child in the belly becomes ill, that would be a great act of unfilial piety.
With his golden words, other ministers were not qualified to criticize the queen's filial piety.
While Su Yueling was feeling sad, she also had to lament that the Emperor was still so considerate and considerate, wishing he could take care of every relative.
On the fourth day after Su Youning arrived in the capital, the Supreme Emperor summoned his ministers for the last time and then passed away.
The whole country mourns.
…
Taoist temple.
Cai Qingyun frowned when he heard the news of the emperor's death.
The Supreme Emperor left just like that. The new emperor's position became more stable.
Her subordinates did not dare to look at Cai Qingyun and said in a low voice: "Queen Han was also diagnosed as two months pregnant. The Supreme Emperor left an imperial edict before his death, granting her no need to observe filial piety. It is the greatest filial piety to say that she takes care of herself."
Cai Qingyun's pupils widened silently, and her whole body froze. Her face, which was no longer beautiful, was full of disbelief, "She is actually pregnant? Rong Zhao can actually say it?"
Isn’t Han Luyan looking haggard due to poisoning?
Her subordinate did not know that Cai Qingyun sent someone to poison Han Luyan, and explained: "Han's appearance is beautiful and heroic, and the emperor loves her very much. In the two years since she entered the palace, the emperor has not accepted any new concubines."
Empress Han is currently the only one in the harem, with no other concubines. She is in good health, so pregnancy will be a matter of course sooner or later.
Han Luyan was stunned, "She's not disfigured?"
What does Han Luyan's cousin Wang Huan'er do? Not only did she not succeed in entering the palace for two years, she even failed to administer poison.
Cai Qingyun has been trapped in a Taoist temple for the past two years. She even had to eat with her hands and feet, and she gained a lot of weight. It was not until three months ago that she couldn't bear it anymore and caused her aunt to die, so she started to lose weight.
- She has not yet returned to her original appearance. Because she devoted all her energy to losing weight and had no intention of paying attention to external affairs. Now she was awakened by the news of the emperor's death, so she hurriedly called her confidants - and in the past two years, her
A lot of manpower was lost.
Cai Qingyun was extremely panicked, and her uneasy premonition was getting stronger and stronger.
Can't stay here!
With this thought in mind, she didn't even bother to pack her things, so she asked her subordinates to take her away.
She had just stepped out of the gate of the Taoist temple, and a line of guards with swords on their waists was already waiting for her at the door.
