What does it mean?

Yang Chaoxue wants to be the empress?

It's simply a fantasy!

Xu Nanheng scolded her for having wild ideas.

Yang Chaoxue didn't care, "Your Majesty, you should go back."

After she finished speaking, Ning Xue winked at the forbidden feather guards outside.

A team of forbidden feather guards came in and took him away forcefully.

Ningxue took a last look at the blood outside the palace.

"My queen, do you want to send someone to watch His Majesty?"

"No need." Yang Chaoxue was a little tired. "If he is content to be the emperor, I don't mind being the empress for life. If he still refuses to give up, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ningxue nodded: "There is one more thing, Qi wants to see that person."

She was talking about Yang Chaoxue in men's clothing.

Qi is the person with the most say in King Suli's party.

Back then, he single-handedly convinced everyone to believe in her identity.

Yang Chaoxue couldn't show her flaws in front of him yet.

This man was very good at disguising himself. Every time they met, he had a handsome face. Yang Chaoxue had wondered how old he looked under that face.

"Take him to the side hall, and remember to avoid the people in front."

"yes."

*

It's raining.

The dirty blood in the yard was washed away by the rain.

This is Yang Chaoxue's territory, no one will take action here.

Zhao cried until her eyes were red.

She looked at Xu Changyi, who was breathing weakly, and tried to reach out her hand to shield him from the rain.

She alone could not take Xu Changyi out.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault..."

"It's not your fault. As long as you're okay, I'll be relieved."

Zhao couldn't hold back her emotions and burst into tears: "Your Highness, you took care of me in the past, and now it's my turn to take care of you..."

When she was weak, the imperial physicians said that she would never be able to get pregnant again in her lifetime. The emperor also hinted many times that he should divorce her and marry another woman. However, Xu Changyi insisted that she was the only one he could have in his life and blocked all the rumors for her.

This time, Xu Changyi is in trouble, and she will never ignore him!

The leg bones were broken.

Xu Changyi was about to faint, but in order not to worry her, he had been holding on until now.

The rain was still falling, and the blue bricks were slippery and difficult to walk on. Zhao stumbled as he picked himself up, but was about to slip after taking just a few steps.

Xu Changyi tried to reach out to help her up, but it made her fall even more severe.

"Your Highness, be careful."

A pair of old hands supported the two of them.

This voice sounds familiar, it's Feng Hai!

He sneaked out of Fenghai.

When the emperor heard the news, he immediately ordered Feng Hai to change into the clothes of a young eunuch and go out among the people delivering food.

Zhao's eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Eunuch Feng Hai."

"Hush." ​​Feng Hai quickly glanced around, "Princess, I'll help you out. Remember not to go back to the Prince's Mansion. Go to the west of the city to find the county lord."

"good!"

*

The cold wind blew and hit the leaves of the trees, and the weeds in the yard were blown down.

Song Jin stood at the door, waiting for someone anxiously.

"My lady, it's very windy here, shall we go inside first?"

Qing Wu put the cloak on her.

"No, I won't feel at ease unless I see the eldest prince with my own eyes."

Song Jin has already received news about what happened in the palace.

Feng Hai sent a message asking her to pick up the eldest prince's wife and his wife, but it was raining heavily and the wind was strong, so the carriage might have difficulty moving.

"Meng Shu went out to meet them, hasn't he come back yet?"

Qingmist shook her head.

Meng Shu has been out for half an hour.

It would take at most two quarters of an hour to get out of the palace.

Song Jin had waited too long and was afraid that something unexpected might happen.

Xu Changyi had helped her so much, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die at this critical moment.

Fortunately, when Li Muyi left Sheng An, he left her a group of elite soldiers, which can now protect her from threats at the critical moment.

It's hard to predict where to go on a rainy night.

The people who were sent out never came back.

The strong wind blew the treetops as if it was going to tear them apart, and the door of the house whistled.

Boom——

There was a loud thunder, and the courtyard was struck by a bright white light.

It was at this time that Meng Fan and his men kicked open the gate.

"Someone come quickly!"

The driver ran in quickly, carrying Xu Changyi on his back.

Meng Shu led the way.

The sound of raindrops splashed.

Song Jin hurriedly called for help: "Quick, call the doctor!"

Several people hurriedly rushed the person into the house.

Looking back at the yard, the bloodstains along the way were shocking. Even the heavy rain could not wash them away immediately.

Zhao felt a tightness in her chest and stood there with her hands covering her chest. She did not say a word, for fear of disturbing everyone inside. Her moist eyes stared anxiously.

Song Jin took the cloak and wrapped it around her.

"Don't worry, Princess. Your Highness is blessed by fate, and nothing will happen to him."

She pulled Zhao to sit in the side room.

Hot tea is prepared in the side room.

It took Zhao a long time to recover.

His voice was choked.

"County Lord... please save his life. He has never done anything bad in his life..."

In the eyes of the world, the eldest prince is timid and incompetent, unfit to be the ruler of the Yu Dynasty.

If he had disobeyed the emperor's order and married no one other than Zhao, he would have missed out on the throne.

Yu Chao would never want a master without descendants.

Zhao felt that she owed him a lot in her life. She had finally recovered her health, but this happened.

She blamed no one and knew that everything was fate.

I just hope that Xu Changyi can survive.

Song Jin held her hand tightly, trying to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Princess. The prince will be fine. The doctor inside was hired by the Marquis. He will definitely protect the prince's life!"

Lord Hou.

Zhao's eyes trembled, "Is Quling Hou... in Sheng'an?"

Song Jin couldn't say much, "Princess, please stay with me for now, and return to the Prince's Mansion after this is over."

"……good."

Zhao understood the meaning very well and did not ask any more questions.

It was raining heavily outside.

It's destined to be a sleepless night.

*

After the rain, the sky is clear and as clear as a mirror.

Xu Changyi felt like he had slept for a long time.

I have no feeling in my legs.

This result was expected.

His face showed no emotion, and he struggled to stand up and looked around for something.

He happened to meet the eyes of Zhao who came in with the medicine soup.

“Your Highness!”

Zhao cried with joy, carefully put the medicine down, and went over to support him.

She didn't know how to start.

Xu Changyi's legs are completely useless.

Yang Chaoxue dealt a fatal blow, shattering the leg bones and leaving no chance of recovery.

The two of them have been together day and night for more than ten years, so how could they not see each other's expressions.

"It's okay, I just lost two legs, I'm fine, right?"

Xu Changyi reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and coaxed her softly.

At this moment he could not show the pain of losing his legs, otherwise his princess would regret it for the rest of her life.

Regarding what happened yesterday, no matter whether Zhao was taken into the palace or not, Yang Chaoxue would not let him go.

But this also made Xu Changyi understand.

There might be an internal conflict between Xu Nanheng and Yang Chaoxue.

Although no one knows why they quarreled among themselves, it is true that Yang Chaoxue wanted to rebel.

"Where is the county lord?"

Zhao was originally sad, but after hearing what he said, she immediately became angry.

"Can you please take care of yourself at this time? The county lord said that the most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. You don't have to worry about the affairs in the palace anymore!"

Zhao knew that he was used to coaxing her.

Not wanting to be tricked by him, she brought the bowl of medicine over to him and told him to drink it with a fierce look in her eyes.

Xu Changyi burst out laughing.

I followed her wishes and took the medicine obediently.

Since Song Jin didn't let him interfere, he should just rest and recuperate.

*

On the other side, Song Jin was discussing the next steps with Qin Wan.

The other people in Zhaiyue Tower have been settled in.

At present, there are people to meet us both inside and outside the palace.

Qin Wan frowned and asked, "Has the Marquis not come back yet?"

Song Jin nodded and told another piece of news.

"General Dingguo will enter the city today. We must find an opportunity to meet him. As for Yang Chaoxue, from the news sent by the Crown Prince, she seems to be in control of Prince Suli's faction. Although I don't know how she controls it, based on what happened yesterday, there must be a rift between the two of them."

Yang Chaoxue and Xu Nanheng have already fallen out.

As long as Xu Nanheng just stays quiet and is the emperor, Yang Chaoxue might not take action.

Judging from the current situation, there may be another change in the palace.

Qin Wan couldn't understand: "Doesn't Yang Chaoxue love Xu Nanheng very much? Why is she suppressing him now that he is the emperor?"

Naturally, I understood my position in Xu Nanheng's heart.

Song Jin couldn't help but sigh.

It was thought that Yang Chaoxue would see through Xu Nanheng's true face and turn back from her wrong path, but who knew that she would become more and more crazy and try to control an emperor.

Qin Wan: "So, we're just going to watch from now on?"

Song Jin nodded.

There was no news from Cui Huaiji and the prince, only the words "wait and see what happens" and not to alarm the enemy.

I guess he also knows about Yang Chaoxue.

The faction of Prince Suli has always been a major concern for Yu Dynasty. If this internal trouble is not eliminated, the future of Yu Dynasty will be difficult to stabilize.

This was also due to the emperor's instructions.

The three men wanted to use this opportunity to wipe out the King Suli's faction.

Song Jin sighed: "Let's wait."

This wait lasted for half a month.

Xu Nanheng sat on the throne as he wished, and wanted to show his ambition with great force, but there were still people in the court who did not obey him, and with the involvement of Yang Chaoxue's people, the implementation of the new policy was delayed.

Being forced into a corner, he dragged Yang Chaoxue's men out and beheaded them on the spot.

At this moment, there was complete silence in the court, not a single sound was heard.

If the new policy is to be implemented, it is not enough to simply issue an imperial decree.

Yang Chaoxue was angry that he not only killed his own people, but also secretly let his own people do something else, making the implementation of the new policy even more difficult.

The states are deadlocked in implementing it.

As time went on, famine broke out again in the south.

There are especially many locusts this year, and no food or grass can grow wherever they pass.

Currently, the emperor and his ministers are not of one mind, and officials in various states are unable to do anything. The disaster victims in the south are beginning to move north.

Several nearby places were flooded by the disaster victims.

During the morning court session, Zhao Wuan stood up and asked for a solution.

However, Yang Chaoxue's people there vetoed everyone's proposal.

Zhao Wuan was so angry that his face turned blue.

"What do you guys suggest? Are we just going to watch them starve to death?!"

The rich have wine and meat, but the streets are filled with frozen corpses.

Sheng'an's tranquility and luxury were far from being affected by the famine.

How can you understand the suffering of the disaster victims if you are not there?

"Lord Zhao insisted that Your Majesty open the national treasury. Have you ever thought about whether the number of victims is something the national treasury can afford?"

Zhao Wuan narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean? Is it possible that the treasury of our Yu Dynasty cannot support the people of Yu Dynasty? Or do you know something?"

How could they know how much was in the national treasury?

If they know everything about the national treasury, who will rule the Yu Dynasty? !

Sitting on the dragon chair, Xu Nanheng suppressed his anger.

Under the current situation, the disaster victims in the south must be rescued, otherwise he, the newly-appointed emperor, will not be supported by the people, and someone else will emerge...

“That’s enough!”

Xu Nanheng suppressed the noisy ministers below with a deep voice.

His eyes turned to Zhao Wuan.

"Famine should not be underestimated. Lord Zhao, please take your men to the treasury to collect disaster relief grain."

Zhao Wuan bowed and said, "Yes!"

The matter ends here.

After the morning court session ended, the ministers who had just argued with Zhao Wuan until their faces turned red, looked at each other at the same time and smiled strangely.
