Chapter 465 Sisters Die
There was almost no turmoil during the change of dynasties in Dayu. After all, Su Chenyu was the popular choice to inherit the throne.
For the succession ceremony, Su Chenyu simply asked the Ministry of Rites to handle it according to the regulations. On the day of succession, Su Chenyu put on the imperial robe made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and walked up the steps paved with white marble, one step at a time.
Su Chenyu stood still at the highest point of the palace, turned around and looked down. All the ministers knelt down and worshiped: "Long live our emperor!"
Su Chenyu's face was serious, and her cold and beautiful eyes overshadowed the extremely heavy imperial robes. Her whole body looked more heroic, with the beginning appearance of an emperor.
Su Chenyu tilted her head slightly and subconsciously looked around. In the past, whenever she looked to the side, she could see Baili Yanqing's figure, but today, there was no one beside her.
But in the invisible mind, Su Chenyu seemed to see the phantom of Baili Yanqing, who was looking at her with a smile.
Yanqing, have you seen it?
After the coronation ceremony, Su Chenyu went to the back hall and took off her gorgeous clothes.
Zhao Zihang came to check Su Chenyu's pulse and said, "Your Majesty, the baby in your belly is safe and sound."
"Thank you, Imperial Physician Zhao." Su Chenyu had just finished speaking when Nanny Xu came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu wants to see you."
"Please ask her to come in."
When Zhao Zihang was about to go out, Concubine Shu happened to come in. Now she was no longer the Imperial Noble Concubine, but was named Concubine by Su Chenyu.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Shu called out, "Yuanzhi and Xianglan have been locked up. Would Your Majesty like to go and see them?"
After Fan Heng's accident, Yuanzhi and Xianglan took Su Yu away, but it was the time when the new emperor ascended the throne and martial law was imposed. They couldn't get out of the palace at all, and were found by the Shu Taifei who had been keeping an eye on them. However, the most important thing at that time was the new emperor's ascension to the throne, and the Shu Taifei came to Su Chenyu to tell her about this matter specifically after the ascension ceremony.
Su Chenyu stood up and said, "There's nothing else to do, let's go take a look."
Yuanzhi and Xianglan were imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment. The palace servants there were ordered not to torture the two of them. They were only imprisoned for a few days, and they looked much more haggard.
The Ministry of Punishment was where guilty palace ladies and concubines were imprisoned. It was dark and filled with the smell of blood.
When Su Chenyu entered the Ministry of Punishment, all the palace people knelt on the ground in panic to welcome the new emperor.
Yuanzhi and Xianglan heard the noise from the palace servants outside and knew that Su Chenyu was coming.
Xianglan couldn't help but grab Yuanzhi's hand: "Sister, are we going to die?"
Unlike Xianglan who was worried and frightened, Yuanzhi seemed much calmer: "We should have died with the people of Fancheng more than a decade ago. Even if we die now, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"The Fancheng incident was originally the Su royal family's fault for us. Why didn't the evildoers get their comeuppance, but instead we, the victims, became prisoners? Why is God so unfair?" Xianglan was full of indignation.
