Chapter 892 On the Road to Exile 20

You said my daughter didn't want to enter the palace because she disliked you, so you had my good son-in-law assassinated and my daughter violated! I've wanted to rebel against you for a long time, you dog emperor! My daughter is watching from heaven, go to hell!

General Zhao has also made countless military achievements. He was already a second-rank general. Because of his daughter's matter, even though he handed over his military seal, the emperor still found an excuse to demote him to a third-rank military officer. Five days ago, he was needed and was promoted again in an attempt to win people's hearts. How did such a fool get to the throne?

After General Zhao finished speaking, he slashed at the old emperor's arm with his sword!

The old emperor had never even broken a skin in his entire life, yet he was so injured by this that he fainted from the pain!

But he was soon awakened by pain because Chu Haoxuan had chopped off his other arm!

"You, Chu Haoxuan, I have treated your family very well..."

"Yes, they were worried I'd get cold, so they sent people to my house to deliver clothes, and they even helped my whole clan relocate!"

I, Chu Haoxuan, am deeply grateful for the Emperor's great kindness, so I won't stand on ceremony with the robe! Sending a dragon robe to his residence in the dead of winter is surely to keep him warm.

The old emperor coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted again.

Chu Haoxuan: "Guards, give the old emperor a good treatment. Do not let him die. He is, after all, the ruler of a country. He should be allowed to die a natural death."

It wouldn't be good enough for him to die like this!

The court had long been dissatisfied with the emperor's incompetence and cruelty towards loyal ministers. Therefore, as soon as the Duke of Dingguo rebelled, many ministers sided with him, making Chu Haoxuan's ascension to the throne a matter of course.

While dealing with the emperor's loyalists, Chu Haoxuan also sent people to the north to bring his family back to the capital.

...

Everything in the capital has nothing to do with this northern land that is rejected by the heavens.

When the imperial edict arrived in the north, the entire Chu family wept with joy!

Chu Yu: ...He's just pretending, it's all an act.

The Crown Prince's wife: ...She's just pretending. In the future, she'll make those who hurt her cry!

Ning Yan: ...She's so lucky. She's only been in the North for a short time and she's already going back to the capital?

However, on the night before returning to Beijing, Chu Yu seemed to have something to say, and fearing that the child might say something explosive, she simply sent him away.

"Hurry back and pack. We're leaving first thing tomorrow morning. Don't be unable to get up."

Chu Yu eventually returned to his residence. The next day, the Chu family's convoy, escorted by General Miao, rushed back to the capital. The journey took more than a month. Once in the capital, Ning Yan parted ways with the Chu family, while Chu Lin naturally returned to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion with Chu Jingxuan.

Chu Haoxuan's coronation ceremony was scheduled for half a month later, but he had already moved into the palace.

All of the old emperor's concubines, except those who died on the day of the palace coup, were sent to temples.

The harem is now empty.

The Crown Prince's wife went directly into the palace.

The old lady returned to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

Duke Dingguo Chuyun was in poor health, which was why he allowed his son to ascend the throne.

The next day, the Crown Prince's wife met with the Mu family.

When Old Madam Mu heard what her daughter had asked her to prepare, her face was filled with disbelief. She lowered her voice and asked, "What are you trying to do, daughter? Yu'er is so grown up now. As long as you do nothing, the Empress's position will be yours for the taking..."

"Mother, Chu Haoxuan is thirty-five years old this year."

Madam Mu was speechless. "That's right. The Emperor is thirty-five now. As a military general, he is healthier than the average person. Living to fifty or sixty is not a problem. And Yu'er is already fifteen."

"If Mother is unwilling to help, I will find another way myself. Mother, please go back first."

Madam Mu composed herself, left the palace with a smile on her face, but the smile vanished the moment she got into the carriage.

Back home, she was restless. When Prime Minister Mu returned, Madam Mu told her husband about her daughter's plans.

"She must have sensed something. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so resolute."

"Then we really have to..."

The old prime minister sighed, "If Haoxuan doesn't want that position, our daughter might stay with him for the rest of her life."

Yes, times change and things change.

Ultimately, it's the person you share a bed with who understands you best.

It's understandable that she took precautions early on.

Don't worry about the medicine, I'll take care of it.

"Can……"

"If something happens to Yuan'er, do you think our Mu family will be alright? We share the same fate, and we suffer together. If it weren't for Yuan'er, we would definitely be implicated by the Seventh Prince."

The Seventh Prince was the late Emperor's favorite prince, the grandson of Prime Minister Mu, and a cousin of Chu Yu.

This is also why, when the Chu family had their troubles before, none of the families of the four wives of the Chu family were implicated.

The second wife's younger sister was the former first prince's principal wife, the third wife was the former fourth prince's sister-in-law, and the fourth wife, Ning Yan, was the second daughter of the Marquis of Chengyang. The Marquis of Chengyang's heir married the former second princess.

In short, since everyone was related in some roundabout way, it was impossible to confiscate their property and exile them all.

Madam Mu then fell silent.

Just one day later, Mu Yuan received the infertility-preventing medicine sent to the palace by a secret agent arranged by the Mu family.

"The master said that this medicine cannot be detected by silver needles. Just mix a little bit into the food each time, and it will kill off any offspring after five times."

She carefully put the items away and dealt with the hidden informant.

She had only seen Chu Haoxuan twice in the few days since she returned to the palace. He was very busy, really busy.

Although he hadn't encountered any major difficulties along the way, there were still people who didn't respect him. Some even spread rumors among the people, saying that he was a traitor and everyone should kill him. Several factions in Dongling Kingdom rebelled.

What troubled him most was that the national treasury was empty; without money, some things became exceptionally difficult to handle.

But since they were still a young couple, Mu Yuan still took the soup to the Imperial Study that day.

The person guarding the door was his attendant, Huang Bai.

"Madam, the master is discussing matters with his ministers..."

Mu Yuan smiled and said, "I know he's busy, but he should take care of his health no matter how busy he is. This is a nourishing soup that I made myself. You can take some in and let him have some later. I won't go in and disturb him."

Chu Haoxuan had not yet ascended the throne, so naturally he had not named his wife as empress, and those around him simply referred to her as "Madam."

Mu Yuan delivered the soup and left. Huang Bai watched his wife's figure disappear, then turned around and carried the soup into the Imperial Study.

The bowl of soup was quickly placed next to Chu Haoxuan. Upon learning that it was brought in by his wife, he smiled, picked up the bowl, and drank it.

"It's been a long time since I've had soup made by Madam herself. Tell her we'll have dinner together tonight."

"Yes, Master."

Among those discussing matters was the late Prime Minister Mu, who had personally witnessed his son-in-law drinking all the soup his daughter had cooked.

Given this, if his daughter hadn't acted so resolutely, how could he have believed that this kid would do something to betray his daughter?

What is a kite?

eagle!

His Yuan'er was raised as a boy since she was a child, unlike her sister who was obsessed with love. He was certain that there was a reason for her decision, so he subjectively concluded that Chu Haoxuan had done something to betray Yuan'er.
