Everyone finally came to their senses, tore off their white clothes, knelt down and shouted "Long live!"
A large group of people knelt down in front of the Taiji Palace. Only Ji Yunhuan stood there, staring blankly at the majestic emperor coming against the light.
The great victory in the northwest and the execution of the rebels should have been a great joyous event, but she couldn't help but shed tears.
It was the emperor who rushed all night, but she looked paler and more tired than the emperor. She was just holding on to her last breath, telling herself not to fall down.
She finally understood the emperor's feelings when he was waiting at the door of the delivery room. She was also afraid, afraid that she would lose this person from then on.
The real Prince An came riding on his horse, full of vigor and vitality, the spear in his hand still dripping with blood, obviously he had fought his way back.
The royal heirs were all brought up with great care, and the Queen Mother never deliberately suppressed Prince An. Prince An was also a man of both civil and military talents, otherwise the Queen Mother would not be at ease letting him travel outside all year round.
Prince An stood atop his majestic horse, poking Qing'er's body with his spear, and said disdainfully, "How ugly! This kind of wretch can't even emulate even a fraction of my elegance. You're truly blind!"
The traitors who were tied together with an iron chain trembled in fear. If they had known that His Majesty was still alive, that Prince An was not involved in forcing the emperor to abdicate, and that everything was directed and acted out by Prime Minister Liu, they would never have gotten involved in this mess even if they were beaten to death.
They were not loyal people either, and they immediately cried out that it was injustice, putting all the blame on Prime Minister Liu and the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was tied up and her mouth was gagged to prevent her from committing suicide.
Her eyes were numb, like a body without a soul. The once high and mighty princess was now just a prisoner trampled under the feet of a soldier.
Prime Minister Liu was pinned to the ground, still struggling desperately, shouting in disbelief: "No... This is impossible! It's fake! It's all fake! The emperor is dead, you are all traitors! Traitors..."
The imperial seal was right in front of us, and everything was clearly under control. So what went wrong?
Prince An dismounted from his horse, and disliked Prime Minister Liu's noisy behavior, so he knocked the old man unconscious with one punch. If he hadn't wanted to keep him for interrogation, he would have killed the old man on the spot!
Over the years, he has been away from the capital, away from his mother and royal brother, traveling around, because he was scared of these people.
He didn't want his brother to become suspicious, so he stayed away.
Prime Minister Liu's forcing the emperor to abdicate was completely putting him on the spot. Fortunately, his brother the emperor did not suspect him, otherwise the Prince An's Mansion would be finished, and the Princess An and the little princess would probably have lost their lives.
Thinking of this, how could King An not hate these people!
The emperor walked up to the high platform. It had only been a month since they last saw Huan'er, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Thinking that Huan'er was still pregnant, he really shouldn't let a pregnant woman work so hard.
The overwhelming longing almost drowned the emperor. Huan'er cried pitifully, and his heart was in a knot. He wanted to hug Huan'er, but the armor was too hard. He was afraid of hurting Huan'er, so he could only carefully hold Huan'er's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, Huan'er. I'm late and made you worry."
Ji Yunhuan threw herself into the emperor's arms, her fair face pressed against the emperor's cold and hard armor. One white and one black, one soft and one hard, so contradictory, yet so harmonious.
Holding the man in front of her and hearing his pounding heartbeat, Ji Yunhuan finally felt her soul, which had been floating in the air, finally settle down. She bit her lip and choked out a sob, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
********
After everything was settled, the emperor changed his clothes and went to apologize to the empress dowager.
The empress dowager was lying on the bed with a headband wrapped around her head. The room was full of the smell of medicine. She was really sick, and she was made sick by the emperor!
Seeing the emperor come in with his head down and kneel beside her bed without saying a word, the empress dowager was furious. She hit the emperor's shoulders hard several times and started to cry first.
"You... you unfilial thing! What are you doing here? Are you here to see if I'm pissed off to death by you?"
"If you want to lead the army in person, I can't stop you. Don't you think about whether I can endure it if the fatal news comes back?"
"You're still hiding this from me! Are you afraid I won't die soon enough? If Huan'er hadn't secretly leaked the news and constantly comforted me, I'm afraid I would have followed him!"
"You are the Son of Heaven! You are so reckless and risking your life like this. Even if you don't think about me, you should think about Huan'er, the Crown Prince, and the child in her belly! If something happens to you, how will they survive?"
The emperor lowered his head and listened to the instructions, not daring to refute a single word.
After the Queen Mother had finished scolding him, he looked up at her and said solemnly, "I was wrong. It is my fault for causing you to worry."
"From now on, my son will take good care of Huan'er and take good care of himself. Now that my son has many ties, he knows how to restrain himself and will never dare to act recklessly again."
Qin Yunhan laughed and waved his little fists vigorously to cheer for the Empress Dowager.
Thinking of the tears he shed for his father, Qin Yunhan felt that his father was really bad, so bad! He hoped that the Empress Dowager would scold him more.
The Queen Mother also became more energetic. She had the little prince carried to the bed and started to tease him with a bell, ignoring the emperor kneeling beside her.
The emperor touched his nose in embarrassment. They always say that the empress dowager is like a child, with a very bad temper. She is not easy to coax.
Qin Yunhan kept climbing up the emperor, kicking his face with his small feet without any hesitation, and shouting:
"Father...Father...bad...bad..."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, your father is a bad guy! Han'er is so well-behaved, and he knows how to protect the Royal Grandmother. He is a good child, much more filial than your father."
