King Zhao is dead, the sixth prince is dead, and the crown prince has become the new emperor, without a doubt.
What happened next was no surprise.
Qin Zhuo brandished his longsword: "You are all His Majesty's subjects. Lay down your weapons and surrender, and all past transgressions will be forgiven. After three shouts, those who resist will be killed on the spot!"
Seeing that the situation was settled, Prime Minister Luo and the others dared not hesitate for a moment and knelt down in unison, saying, "Your Majesty, we pay our respects! Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The shouts resounded through the heavens, and with that, the struggle for the throne came to an end.
The Crown Prince should now be the new emperor.
The new emperor told everyone to rise, then handed the matter over to Qin Zhuo and Princess Chang Le, while he himself led people to prepare for the late emperor's funeral.
The Empress had already arrived with the concubines, but the Crown Prince did not allow them to do anything. Instead, he summoned the remaining imperial physicians to examine the late Emperor's body.
After examining the emperor, the imperial physicians concluded that he had not taken any medicine in the past few days and had died a painful death from poisoning.
The new emperor was furious and nearly fainted. He then immediately ordered that Prince Zhao's crime be compounded, and that the entire Prince Zhao's residence and the Yongning Marquis's residence be executed.
No one thought the new emperor was cruel. King Zhao poisoned his own father and made him die in such agony that even being ground to dust wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Oh, right, King Zhao's body is still outside. The new emperor had him dragged down and nailed into the coffin while kneeling, so that even in death he would have to repent to the late emperor.
Everyone praised the new emperor for his wisdom and wisdom.
The battle for the throne was over, and the whole city knew about it in less than an hour.
Soldiers carrying flags rode through the city on horseback, announcing the new emperor's edict and telling the ministers who had been hiding and watching who they should now worship.
Shen Ning received the news immediately and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After the strong winds and heavy rain, the sunset was magnificent.
very nice!
King Zhao died, the sixth prince died, and the crown prince became emperor. Everything was about to go in a completely different direction.
When the emperor passed away, the entire capital was draped in white, and court officials and noblewomen were required to enter the palace to mourn.
None of this has anything to do with Shen Ning, never has.
However, after everything settled down, she felt much better and recovered quickly.
Although he still doesn't dare to hold chopsticks, the wound is almost invisible, and the other injuries on his body are almost completely healed.
She should go back.
With the new emperor chosen, Green Plum and the others couldn't stop Shen Ning any longer. However, while helping Shen Ning pack his things, they also packed their own.
Anyway, their master has already tacitly agreed that they are to take care of the future mistress, so they will go wherever Shen Ning goes.
Shen Ning's hands were not in a convenient position, so she could only watch them pack. In reality, there wasn't much of it that belonged to her; it was all prepared by the Qin family.
What is this? Eating and taking things at the same time?
Just as I was about to make a few jokes, a tall figure strode over.
Before her eyes was his broad chest and burning gaze, and then the next moment she was pulled into his arms.
Shen Ning gently embraced him with her uninjured hand, and the two held each other like that for a long time without saying a word.
Finally, after Qin Zhuo had hugged her enough, he let go of her. Their eyes met, and the longing in his eyes surged towards Shen Ning like a tidal wave.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but he had already lowered his head and kissed her.
He was eager and impatient to get everything he wanted from her.
He showered her with kisses, giving Shen Ning no chance to refuse, kissing her until she was almost suffocating before finally stopping, holding her and breathing heavily in his arms.
"I'm back. I'm sorry for taking so long to come see you."
The Qin residence was not far from the palace, and it only took half an hour to get there. However, the Crown Prince's condition was critical, and Prince Zhao was watching him closely, so he dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.
Especially since he also had to weather the storm of this change of throne, there was no room for the slightest mistake at this time.
Shen Ning kissed his cheek and said, "I'm safe here, and my injuries are healing quickly. I know it's more dangerous in the palace, so I don't blame you."
She's not some immature little girl; she wouldn't throw a tantrum over something like this.
Qin Zhuo would rather she blame him.
He lowered his head, his eyes filled with grievance: "I'm leaving soon. The border war is raging. He doesn't trust anyone else, so he ordered me to seize the Tiger Tally and then lead troops into battle. I don't know how long it will take before I can return."
He had finally managed to see her, and now he had to leave again. He was reluctant to part with even a single hair on his body.
Shen Ning chuckled. Who would have thought that this infamous demon could be so clingy and adorable?
"His Majesty trusts you the most, so I can only ask you to bear with this. I will wait for you to return."
Sure enough, his Aning is still the best.
He couldn't help but kiss him again, then said fiercely, "I'll help him one more time. Once he's firmly on the throne, I'll never care about him again and will stay with you from now on."
Shen Ning didn't believe he would abandon Li Yan. The two, uncle and nephew, disliked each other, but their relationship was actually quite good.
"You've left, Crown Prince... Who will protect His Majesty now?"
Qin Zhuo: "I kept Gu Jiu, he is enough to protect His Majesty, and Princess Chang Le. You want her to show off, so I'm giving her a chance. She is now in charge of the Imperial Guards."
Even though Princess Chang Le was a princess, she was still a woman. There was no precedent for a woman to command the Imperial Guards. Yet Li Xuan killed Prince Zhao and the Sixth Prince amidst thousands of soldiers on the battlefield.
Such achievements are enough to silence all the court officials and military generals.
With the Qi Prince's Mansion behind Li Xuan, and her protection of the new emperor, Qin Zhuo naturally felt at ease.
Although Shen Ning had his own schemes involved, he did indeed send a capable person to the new emperor.
Shen Ning needed Qin Zhuo's cooperation to get Princess Chang Le's help. Although this matter was beneficial to the Crown Prince, she was surprised that they trusted Princess Chang Le so much.
However, everyone knows these things, so there's no need to bring them up again for further consideration.
Qin Zhuo didn't have much time and was reluctant to leave, but he also knew he couldn't stay for too long, so he spent most of his time kissing her.
He gently protected her injured hand, but the kisses that fell upon her were fierce and domineering, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
I'm reluctant to leave, but I still have to.
Without looking back for fear of regret, he left decisively and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the cold, empty room, if it weren't for the numbness in my mouth and the lingering scent of his breath, I would probably have thought I was dreaming.
As the warmth in her arms gradually faded, Shen Ning realized that she was also reluctant to part with him. She had only just left, yet she was already missing him.
Shen Ning returned to the Shen family. She had already given instructions on everything that had happened before, so she wasn't too busy after returning.
The only inconvenience is that she can hardly use her right hand, but she has gotten used to her left hand these days.
If your handwriting is a bit ugly, then let fireflies write for you; things won't be that difficult to handle.
The late emperor's passing affected the entire capital, and everyone's business suffered, but Shen Ning was not worried at all.
As long as the new emperor is Li Yan, she has no worries about doing business in the future.
The late emperor's funeral was held fifteen days after the crown prince became the new emperor.
The funeral procession filled the official road, a grand and imposing spectacle, signifying the end of this emperor's era and the beginning of a new reign.
