When Li Shushu woke up slowly, everything was basically a foregone conclusion.
The imperial concubine plotted to murder the royal heir and also intended to rebel. The emperor, who had been playing both sides for more than 20 years, finally made a decision this time.
The imperial concubine was demoted to a commoner and given a white silk robe, and all members of her family who participated in the rebellion were beheaded.
Xia Muyu was demoted to a commoner and given poisoned wine.
Bai Bingjing was beheaded.
General Bai was stripped of his position and military power and exiled to Ningguta.
Considering General Bai's past merits and the Bai family's repentance, General Bai and the entire Bai family were spared...
All of this seemed to be settled in an instant.
How to say it, Li Shushu seemed to have fainted and fallen asleep for a while, and all her enemies disappeared!
It seemed like she didn't do anything other than fake pregnancy.
This made her feel unsure whether she should be happy or unhappy.
To be honest, it was really satisfying. She caught all her enemies without much effort, which made her feel like she had won without any effort. Especially since the unattainable imperial concubine in her previous life was gone just like that!
In her previous life, she didn't have much dealings with the Imperial Concubine, but if she had to say she hated her, she did hate her. After all, if she hadn't supported Bai Bingjing and Xia Muyu, she wouldn't have been so miserable!
If she was to say she was unhappy, she was a little unhappy. After all, she didn't have the chance to personally beat up the scum, and she didn't even see them being dragged away!
It feels like something is missing!
But, never mind, after all, she doesn't have the habit of watching bloody scenes.
The prince's years of grievances and long-cherished wishes were finally realized at this moment.
But he was not happy: he thought he had made perfect plans for this time, but he still caused Shuer to suffer and lose their child.
He hugged Li Shushu and looked at her pale little face without a trace of blood. He couldn't help but feel sad. Hot tears dripped down Li Shushu's cheeks.
Perhaps the tears were too hot and Li Shushu was woken up by the heat.
She stretched out her delicate fingers to wipe his tears and said, "Your Highness, don't be sad. We will have our child soon..."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but after she said that, the prince didn't even care about the people present. He was even more heartbroken. He couldn't help crying and trembling all over. His arms around Li Shushu tightened, "Shu'er, I'm sorry for you. It's all my fault.
I know we may still have children, but they won’t be him/her anymore…”
He will never forget the joy, hope, and emotion that the arrival of this child brought him.
He will definitely love the next child very much, but this child is different, because it is his and her first child!
The prince's face was filled with grief, and everyone present was moved.
The old emperor suddenly met with misfortune, and his joy turned into sorrow. Not only did he lose his grandson, but he also had to bear the pain of giving up the imperial concubine and the third prince. His grief was no less than that of the crown prince.
Even though Li Shushu had secretly cast a peace talisman on him in advance, and he had managed to hold on for so long, after everything was settled, he finally swayed a few times and suddenly fell to the ground!
Of course, the eunuch next to him was quick-witted and held him up.
"Father!" Xia Muyan had just lost his child, and seeing his father like this, he was even more anxious. After quickly comforting Li Shushu, he rushed to the emperor and visited him nervously.
Several imperial physicians worked together to save the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor was only overly excited and fainted temporarily, so his life was not in danger for the time being...
The next day, the first thing the emperor did after waking up was to order someone to write an abdication edict and a succession edict.
"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Crown Prince Xia Muyan, my eldest son, has possessed a noble character since childhood, is filial and gentle, broad-minded and prudent. Endowed with the benevolence of heaven and earth, possessing the chastity and brightness of the sun and moon, he has inherited the teachings of the wise and upholds propriety and righteousness. I now pass the throne to him, hoping that he will be a wise ruler who loves the people. I decree this!"
Soon, an auspicious day was chosen, and Xia Muyan completed the succession ceremony and became the new emperor.
Li Shushu was also named the queen of the Great Xia Kingdom and moved to Fengyi Palace.
In fact, there was a small group of voices in the previous dynasty who opposed Li Shushu being named queen. After all, the prince had no children, and Li Shushu had been married for the second time. It seemed inappropriate for her to take the position of queen in such a hurry.
Many people believe that the prince should hold a new beauty pageant and choose some women with more prominent family backgrounds and cleaner identities. It would not be too late to make the one who gives birth to the eldest prince first the queen.
But they were all rejected by Xia Muyan!
“What show to choose?
When I was down and out, it was thanks to the Queen that I was saved and able to live. Because of this, anything I give her is not too much, let alone the position of Queen.
Furthermore, at that time, I was already in love with the Queen and had secretly sworn that I would only marry her in this life and never marry anyone else!
My lord, I am not joking. Do you want me to be a person who does not keep his word?
My dear ministers, please do not mention this again!"
"But, Your Majesty!" A minister who likes to meddle in other people's affairs brought up the issue of the royal heir again. "The royal heir is a matter of great importance. If we don't take it seriously, it may affect people's livelihood and the country. The Queen just had a miscarriage. According to common folk custom, women who have had miscarriages will find it difficult to get pregnant again. Even if they do get pregnant again, it will be difficult for them to give birth successfully. Isn't Your Majesty worried..."
"What should I worry about?
I'm not worried! I'm only 23 years old now, isn't it too early to say this?
I think, instead of worrying about my heir, you should worry about when your own head will move!"
