After Lu Chengye kicked him out of the car, he fell to the ground and rolled around in pain.
The soldiers who followed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery back to the capital apprehended him and sent him before the authorities.
Later, Emperor Ning ordered the second prince to be beaten with ten boards. After the beating, the bloody second prince was pulled onto a simple ox cart and sent out of the capital.
Lu Tian and his family are still imprisoned in the Dali Temple, waiting for the return of Marquis Zhongyong to decide their fate.
Lu Tian should have been sentenced to death, but Marquis Zhongyong, out of consideration for family ties, asked Emperor Ning for exile.
In the end, Emperor Ning sentenced Lu Tian and his family to exile three thousand miles away, and they were never allowed to return to the capital.
Lu Chengye returned to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion and reunited with his parents and family.
Because of her father, Su Wanti also changed her surname to Lu.
A month later, Zhang Hehua and her children, who had been settled in Luzhou, arrived in the capital. When they saw her husband who had been missing for many days, Zhang Hehua burst into tears. The couple hugged each other tightly and did not separate for a long time.
Shang Xingjian began to investigate after returning to Beijing, but he still couldn't find out who gave him the chronic poison.
Maybe it was Concubine Li, or maybe it was some other person with ulterior motives.
But it doesn't matter. Now the poison in his body has been cured, and he has a jade pendant that can sense poisonous and evil spirits. More importantly, he has a lover with great medical skills by his side, so he is not afraid of any poison.
Another month passed, and Lu Wanti (also known as Su Wanti) was found to be nearly three months pregnant.
Shang Xingjian was overjoyed and immediately began preparing for the wedding.
The wedding was grand and solemn, with a huge procession and loud drums and music.
The palace of Prince Rui was a wealthy mansion, with lanterns and colorful decorations all over the house, and red silk filling the hall.
The house was packed with guests, filled with laughter and joy, and the atmosphere was lively and festive.
The couple bowed to each other and was escorted to the bridal chamber.
Shang Xingjian replaced the Heqin wine with sweet red date tea, and they both drank it.
The bride, dressed in a wedding gown and with a beautiful face, laughed at him, "Why are you drinking red date tea? I can't drink alcohol, but you can?"
Shang Xingjian said gently, "I'm afraid the smell of alcohol will bother you and you won't let me sleep with you because I smell of alcohol."
The bride blushed and pushed him away, "It's only been three months, the fetus is still unstable, you sleep alone tonight."
Shang Xingjian held her in his arms, "Ah Wan, I know the seriousness of the matter and won't do anything rash. I'll hold you while I sleep and won't do anything else. Don't chase me away."
"You are such a cheater." The bride sighed helplessly.
A few months later, Princess Rui gave birth to a lovely baby boy.
This was the couple's first child and Emperor Ning's first grandson.
Emperor Ning and the Empress were so happy that they sent a stream of rewards to Prince Rui's Palace.
Emperor Ning personally named his young grandson Shang Jingze, which means "peace and tranquility for the world, deep benevolence and great kindness."
It expresses Emperor Ning's earnest expectations for his little grandson.
The little grandson of the emperor lived up to expectations. He was smart and studious since childhood, with a calm and generous temperament. He was born intelligent, had profound knowledge, and had a broad mind.
Ten years later, Prince Rui Shang Xingjian ascended the throne as emperor, and Princess Rui became empress.
The eldest prince Shang Jingze was named Crown Prince.
Court officials wrote to the emperor, asking him to take in more concubines, enrich the harem, and expand the royal family of Daning.
Shang Xingjian ignored her. He only wanted the queen in this life, and being with her for the rest of his life was all he wanted.
