Chapter 383 Finale

Xie Lang seemed to be thinking about something. He stared upwards for a long time before he smiled with relief.

At first, under Yunsong's verbal provocation, he had the idea of ​​taking over the world.

Who wouldn't desire to reach a high place? He was just an ordinary man with blood and ambition.

But the temptation in those words was so exciting that he felt it was unreal.

Thus, his calmness was only for a moment, and when his rationality returned, he immediately realized how ridiculous his thought was at that moment.

No matter who reaches the top in the end, it will not be him who knows little about the capital.

As long as he assists them quietly, no matter who is the one who gets to the top in the end, he will have contributed a lot.

Lu Xinlan stood not far away and listened to their conversation. He also followed Xie Lang's gaze and looked at the two people standing on the high positions.

Xie Lang chose this moment to bring up this matter with the Queen, but he wanted to use her to say a few good words for the Zhang family so that Song Junyan would not become too suspicious.

They are all people with sharp minds, so there is no need for her to say these things.

She doesn't know when all her troubles will be solved, and she has been hesitating about whether or not to get a divorce.

Next year will be the Spring Examination, which will coincide with Song Junyan's ascension to the throne. If there is no special examination, the number of people admitted will definitely be more than before.

For Tang Chongli, this was the easiest first time to pass the imperial examination. If their divorce affected his reputation, it would definitely affect his fate.

She was confused, but there was no one she could talk to, and no one could truly understand her.

A busy day finally came to an end, and Lu Xinran collapsed weakly in the Yongning Palace. The Changchun Palace belonging to the empress was not vacant yet, and she didn't really want to move in, so Song Junyan decided to let her live in the Yongning Palace.

After some time, she will choose a palace of her choice and renovate it to serve as their bedroom.

"Are you tired?"

As a man, he felt tired, let alone her who was petite and frail.

Lu Xinran sat paralyzed on the couch and let out a long sigh.

"Fortunately, this kind of gift only happens once in a lifetime."

Otherwise she would definitely try to escape.

Song Junyan listened to her thoughts and stepped forward to massage her shoulders with amusement: "Just this time, maybe the next time... will be when our child ascends the throne."

"What nonsense!"

Lu Xinran almost subconsciously jumped up and wanted to cover his mouth.

Their child ascends the throne...that's when he dies!

Her overly obvious nervousness made Song Junyan's heart as sweet as honey, and he smiled and hugged her.

"You and I are not too old. When our prince is born, we will train him carefully and let him get in touch with government affairs as early as possible. He can ascend the throne when he is young. When he ascends the throne and I become the emperor, we will leave the capital. You are jealous of your mother's tour of the Great Chu, so we will also travel around when the time comes."

His words made Lu Xinran's eyes brighten instantly. She stood up and pulled his sleeve tightly.

"Really? Are you really going to give up the throne to him when he grows up, and we will leave the capital and live a life of paradise?"

Song Junyan raised his hand and gently scratched her nose: "Have you forgotten? I never thought of competing for the throne. I am not obsessed with power. Being an emperor for twenty years is the limit for me. For you, being trapped in the deep palace must not be easy.

"So let's make a promise to each other. When our prince comes of age, we'll go traveling together, okay?"

Lu Xinran nodded vigorously. God, she really wanted to give birth to a baby right now!

It's a pity that they have to wait at least a year to observe mourning for the dog emperor!

Thinking of this, her mood began to get depressed. She could only have sex after a year. If everything went well by then, she would get pregnant quickly, but it would take nearly a year to give birth.

It would be fine if she could give birth to a prince smoothly, but if it was a princess... she didn't want to think about it anymore.

"Just let it go and don't think too much about it."

Song Junyan couldn't control the upward movement of his lips due to his intense inner voice. He held her shoulders and let her lean back on the pillow.

"Take a break first, and go to bed early after dinner."

He had just ascended the throne, and there were still many things waiting for him to decide.

On the second day after Song Junyan ascended the throne, the empress moved out of Changchun Palace. Even if Lu Xinran was unwilling to live here, she could not continue to live there.

Moreover, the dog emperor was dead, and without his control she was now free. She couldn't wait to leave the palace and the capital.

In Yongning Palace, Lu Xinran poured tea for the empress.

"Mother, are you really planning to leave in a few days?"

Thinking that the empress had already made it, and that she would have to endure at least twenty-two more years in the palace, her eyes welled up with tears.

How come she was so confused and fell into that guy's trap before?

If she had not chosen to enter the palace before, could she have left with the Queen?

"Every life has its own highlights. Being with Junyan is also a kind of happiness. I didn't get to have a normal married life. I hope you can continue walking hand in hand.

"Xin Lan, I'm afraid she's starting to get stuck in a rut again. I'm ready to make the decision on her marriage to Tang Chongli.

"Since she is afraid of hindering Tang Chongli's future, let's wait until he graduates from high school before divorcing him. I will take her away first when I leave Beijing in a few days.

"You should find someone reliable to look after her dowry in the Tang Mansion. After all the trouble, I'm sure Liu wouldn't dare to seize it.

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Lu Xinran didn't expect that she would suddenly bring up Lu Xinlan's marriage. He pursed his lips and thought for a long time. Finally, he had to admit that this seemed to be the most suitable solution at the moment.

Just leave everything to time, wait until everyone calms down, and then look for the final answer.

"You and Jun Yan have finally gotten what you wanted. I know his character. If he becomes an emperor, he will definitely be a kind and compassionate emperor who cares about the people. Father also saw this in him and was willing to support him without hesitation.

"Now that everything has settled, the Zhang family is preparing to move some people back to Yuchengguan, which is our root.

"My father will stay in the capital to assist him and help him take control of the court as soon as possible.

"I am not saying this to take credit for my father or to make Junyan let down his guard. It is just a little explanation before I leave.

"It's fate for mother and child to be together. This is the last time I can sit down for him. When you have a child, send me a message. If I can receive the message, I will definitely come back to see you."

If you don't receive it, just wish them happiness from now on in your heart.

Her words made Lu Xinran's eyes moist again. She pulled the queen's sleeve, reluctant to let her leave.

This was the second person besides Pei who treated her well without asking for anything in return since she came to this time and space.

"Mother, please take me with you. I can't bear to leave you."

The Queen is gone, Lu Xinlan is gone too, and Zhang Shuier is going to get married in a while and leave the capital after getting married. She is going to be left alone.

The queen smiled and patted the back of her hand: "Don't talk nonsense, I still hope that you will become the queen who is the mother of the country and support me and Xinlan in the future."

The empress left in a graceful manner, without taking most of her personal belongings with her. She only took some gold and silver items, and left the rest to Lu Xinran, calling it a meeting gift for her unborn grandson and granddaughter.

With tears in his eyes, Lu Xinran accompanied her all the way to the palace gate. Through the gate, he watched her swiftly jump onto her horse and ride away gracefully.

The farewell was too sad, so Lu Xinlan did not go into the palace to say goodbye. He just left quietly with the empress and Xie Lang in the early morning of the next day.

After they left, the letters were delivered to the palace, Tang Mansion and Lu Mansion.

Liu looked at the unfamiliar handwriting on the letter and thought of Lu Xinran, who is now a superior person. She finally realized that she had been wrong from the very beginning.

When she asked Tang Chongli to marry Lu Xinlan, she did so with the intention of finding him a virtuous wife.

After she entered the room, she saw her son was always thinking about her and trying to please her, but she was always so dignified and proper, as if nothing could move her. For some reason, she felt unwilling in her heart.

Why does she have to rely on all kinds of means to win Tang Quyan's heart, while she doesn't have to do anything and Tang Chongli wants to give his heart to her?

They are all women... on what basis?

The more unwilling she felt, the more she wanted to cause trouble.

She sat in the armchair in a daze, feeling Tang Chongli rushing in like the wind, snatching the letter away and leaving like the wind. She was unable to come to her senses for a long time.

At Lu's residence, Zhao leaned over to read the letter in Pei's hand. She was so angry that she jumped three feet high and scolded Liu from head to toe.

"No, I have to send someone to the Tang Mansion to protect our Xinlan's dowry. Liu Shi can't even think of coveting a single penny."

Zhao rushed out cursing. Pei lowered her head and looked at the letter in her hand again, then suddenly laughed and shook her head.

Kong sat aside in silence. Lu Xinran had already become the empress, and the girls in their Lu family had risen in status as well. She no longer had to worry about the marriages of her two daughters, because when they came of age, matchmakers would knock on the door of the Lu mansion.

It would be great if my niece could live a comfortable and happy life without any worries.

She inexplicably had the idea that if her daughters were unhappy after marriage, she would let them follow Lu Xinlan's example and return home with their dowries.

To them women, reputation is important, but living a comfortable and carefree life is more important.

In the palace, Lu Xinran was so angry that he jumped up and down as he looked at the letter in his hand.

How could she just leave like that without even coming to see her!

Gathering and separation are all destined by heaven, and after all the ups and downs of fate, there will always be a time for reunion!

How could she be so cruel to abandon her and go on a carefree life?

She held the letter in her arms and became angrier the more she thought about it. She waved to call Tracy and asked her to go to her private vault and get five thousand taels of silver and some precious herbs. She then asked Ding San to ride his horse as fast as he could to deliver them.

Since we are going to meet again, come back healthy and happy!

Outside the palace gate, Fu Hai, carrying his bag, looked back at the towering palace gate.

He could finally leave the place where he had spent his entire life. He didn't know how many relatives were left at home, but that was his hometown, and he could finally go back and take a look before he died.

It must be a blessing for the people and for him as well that the Great Chu has a new emperor with a broad mind.

As time goes by, people who are destined to be together will meet again.
