Chapter 246 Xiao Yongyan is back
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, Wang Jing quickly shook his head. How could he have such an outrageous idea? Xiao Yongyan was not the kind of person who would joke about these things.
The capital city on this night is destined to witness an unprecedented war.
But for the vast majority of ordinary people, this was just a night that couldn't be more ordinary.
They slept and relaxed as usual, welcoming the sun the next morning.
As the morning sun slowly rose in the east, solemn music floated over the sky of the capital, and the sound of funeral bells echoed throughout the city.
The street vendor selling fried dough sticks glanced in the direction of the imperial city and muttered, "Finally he left."
This kind of thing is taboo, no one dares to say it openly, and they can only understand each other through eye contact.
Everyone knew it tacitly, and it seemed that the world was going to have a new monarch.
But they don’t care who comes to power. As long as they are well fed and warmly clothed, they will be grateful and it will be a credit to them for the merits of past generations.
On the third day after the emperor's death, the new emperor ascended the throne.
Soon, the death of the previous emperor seemed to have caused no more waves, as if just an insignificant person had died.
As for the complicated struggles within the imperial court, the common people on the periphery did not feel anything at all. They just felt that the former emperor did not stay in the position for long before being deposed by someone.
People who are a little educated are unwilling to believe that he died of illness.
On the tenth day after the new emperor took office, he granted amnesty, saying that he was praying for the people of the world and that everyone who was not a murderer would be released.
This is excellent news for many people.
Palace.
Xiao Yongyan was already packing his bags. It was getting late, so he planned to go back as soon as possible.
Wang Jing came in from outside, "Xiao Yongyan, you should prepare yourself well. That person said that you have done a great job in following the emperor, so he is going to make an exception and promote you to the position of regent, to take over your father's position."
However, Xiao Yongyan didn't listen to these words at all, and just said, "I have to go back quickly."
Wang Jing was stunned. "What are we going to do? We can go to Beijing together after my sister-in-law gives birth to the baby."
Xiao Yongyan frowned, "How can she run around with such a big belly now? I will go back now and come to the capital when the baby is older."
Wang Jing quickly stopped Xiao Yongyan, "You are crazy! Now is the best time for you to return to the court. While you can talk to the emperor now, why don't you fight for yourself. Sister-in-law has waited for so long, do you still care about these few months?"
However, Xiao Yongyan's idea was completely different from Wang Jing's. "Wang Jing, there is something I may have forgotten to tell you. I have made up my mind not to be an official anymore."
Wang Jing was completely stunned. "Why, becoming a king or a prime minister hasn't been your dream for so many years? When you were young, you even said you wanted to surpass your father. Now you have forgotten all that?"
Xiao Yongyan shook his head. "It's not that I forgot. I just realized that a high position doesn't matter. It doesn't guarantee any results. I don't have any big ideals now. I just hope to live a good life with my wife and children."
Wang Jing wanted to persuade Xiao Yongyan again, but after thinking about how Xiao Yongyan had come, he couldn't open his mouth.
Perhaps for Xiao Yongyan, being a teacher would be a better choice.
"It's up to you. Anyway, you are no longer a criminal." Wang Jing said, "Will you come back in the future?"
Xiao Yongyan smiled and said, "This is my home, Xier's home is also here, why wouldn't I come. As for the emperor, thank you for your help."
Wang Jing said unhappily, "Let me do whatever is difficult. I really owe you."
Xiao Yongyan smiled and said, "I owe you this."
After saying that, he continued to pack his luggage.
Wang Jing knew that Xiao Yongyan was a man of strong ideas. Once he made up his mind, he would not be shaken by a few words.
Unable to waver, he could only support. Wang Jing specially selected a horse for Xiao Yongyan.
"Since your charges have been cleared, I'll give you my BMW," said Wang Jing.
Xiao Yongyan patted Wang Jing on the shoulder and said, "Thank you."
Then he jumped on his horse, whipped the horse and rode away.
…
Lianggu County is such a small place that information is received much slower. Until now, Lin Xi still doesn’t know how Xiao Yongyan is doing.
Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she can no longer go out easily.
For safety reasons, Nanny Chang only agreed to let her walk around in the yard, for fear that she would be bumped into by someone without eyes when she went out.
No matter how Lin Xi told Nanny Chang that pregnant women needed to exercise regularly to strengthen their physical fitness, Nanny Chang did not stop.
Lin Xi sometimes can't help but think about it. It's true that people become more stubborn as they get older.
But Nanny Chang was old and only cared about Lin Xi's own good, so she couldn't say anything.
"Miss, I think you are getting old now and need to start looking for a midwife," Nanny Chang suggested.
Lin Xi was stunned. How old is the baby now? She has to start looking for a midwife. "Mammy, there are still several months before the birth. Do we need to start so early?"
Nanny Chang groaned, "Miss, you don't know how difficult it is for a woman to give birth. There may not be a good midwife in this small place. We may have to go to a nearby city to find one. If we don't do it in advance, we will be in a hurry when the time comes. Who knows who will come?"
When Lin Xi heard this, he felt that this made sense.
"Is there anyone who knows medical skills? Do we need to find a doctor as well?"
Nanny Chang seemed to be thinking about something. "Young lady, you are talking about female doctors, right? There are many such people in our capital, but here, I have to ask around."
Lin Xi was completely confident in Madam Chang's ability, and said, "I'll leave this matter to Madam Chang."
But the problem is that if Nanny Chang takes charge of this matter, there will not be enough people at home to serve Lin Xi. Nanny Chang feels that these people have a very poor foundation, and no matter how they are trained, they will always be far inferior to those in the previous mansion.
"Don't worry, miss. Childbirth is a big deal for women. I will make sure to arrange everything for you." Nanny Chang said.
Just at this moment, Youlan ran in from the door excitedly.
"Miss... outside..." Youlan ran so fast that she couldn't even catch her breath, but she still insisted on speaking.
Lin Xi couldn't bear to watch it any longer, "You'd better calm down before you speak."
Youlan covered her chest and tried to breathe a sigh of relief.
The next moment, Lin Xi's eyes widened.
She felt like she was hallucinating. Why did she see someone who shouldn't be here?
Could it be that pregnancy would make one's brain stop working properly? Lin Xi stared blankly at Xiao Yongyan in front of her.
It might be an illusion, but it looks so real, so real, it doesn't seem like an illusion at all.
Nanny Chang was also shocked and looked at Xiao Yongyan speechless for a long time.
As soon as Xiao Yongyan walked in, he found that everyone in the room was staring at him without saying a word. This was indeed different from what he had imagined.
Shouldn't I be excited to see him? Why do I look like I've seen a ghost in broad daylight?
