Chapter 83: Beautiful Daughter vs. Heirless Emperor 83
Everyone finally came to their senses, tore off their white clothes, knelt down and shouted "Long live!"
A large group of people knelt down in front of the Taiji Palace. Only Ji Yunhuan stood there, staring blankly at the majestic emperor coming against the light.
The great victory in the northwest and the execution of the rebels should have been a great joyous event, but she couldn't control her tears.
It was the emperor who was rushing all night, but she looked paler and more tired than the emperor. She was just holding on to her last breath, telling herself not to fall down.
She finally understood how the emperor felt when he was waiting at the door of the delivery room. She was also afraid, afraid that she would lose this person forever.
The real Prince An came riding forward, full of vigor and vitality, the spear in his hand still dripping with blood, obviously he had fought his way back.
The royal heirs were all brought up with great care, and the Queen Mother never deliberately suppressed Prince An. Prince An was also a man of both civil and military talents, otherwise the Queen Mother would not be at ease letting him move around outside all year round.
Prince An stood on a tall horse, poked Qing'er's body with his spear, and said with disdain: "How ugly! How can such a thing imitate half of my elegance? You are really blind!"
The traitors who were tied together with an iron chain were trembling. If they had known that His Majesty was still alive, that Prince An did not participate in forcing the emperor to abdicate, and that everything was directed and acted by Prime Minister Liu himself, they would never have gotten involved in this mess even if they were beaten to death.
They were not loyal people either, and they immediately cried out that it was injustice, putting all the blame on Prime Minister Liu and the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was tied up and her mouth was gagged to prevent her from committing suicide.
Her eyes were numb, like a body without a soul. The once high and mighty princess was now just a prisoner trampled under the feet of a soldier.
Prime Minister Liu was pinned to the ground but was still struggling desperately. He shouted in disbelief, "No... This is impossible! It's fake! It's all fake! The emperor is dead, and you are all traitors! Traitors..."
The imperial seal was right in front of us, and everything was under control. So what went wrong?
Prince An dismounted from his horse, and disliked Prime Minister Liu's noisy behavior, so he knocked the old man unconscious with one punch. If he hadn't wanted to keep him for interrogation, he would have killed the old man on the spot!
In these years, he has been away from the capital, away from his mother and royal brother, traveling around, because he was scared by these people.
He didn't want his brother to become suspicious, so he stayed away.
Prime Minister Liu's forcing the emperor to abdicate was completely putting him on the spot. Fortunately, his brother the Emperor did not suspect him, otherwise the Prince An's Mansion would be finished, and the Princess An and the little princess would probably have lost their lives.
Thinking of this, how could King An not hate these people!
The emperor walked up to the high platform. It had only been a month since they last saw Huan'er, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Thinking that Huan'er was still pregnant, he really shouldn't let a pregnant woman work so hard.
The overwhelming longing almost drowned the emperor. Huan'er cried pitifully, and his heart was in a knot. He wanted to hug Huan'er, but the armor was too hard. He was afraid of hurting Huan'er, so he could only carefully hold Huan'er's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, Huan'er. I'm late and made you worry."
Ji Yunhuan threw herself into the emperor's arms, her fair face pressed against the emperor's cold and hard armor. One white and one black, one soft and one hard, so contradictory, yet so harmonious.
Holding the man in front of her and hearing his pounding heartbeat, Ji Yunhuan finally felt her soul floating in the air finally land on the ground. She bit her lip and choked up, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
********
When everything was settled, the emperor changed his clothes and went to apologize to the empress dowager.
The empress dowager was lying on the bed with a headband wrapped around her head. The room was full of the smell of medicine. She was really sick, and was made sick by the emperor!
Seeing the emperor coming in with his head down and kneeling beside her bed without saying a word, the empress dowager became furious. She hit the emperor's shoulders hard several times and started to cry first.
"You... you unfilial thing! What are you doing here? Are you here to see if I am mad at you to death?"
"If you want to lead the army in person, I can't stop you. Don't you think about whether I can bear it if the fatal news comes back?"
"You're still hiding it from me! Are you afraid that I won't die soon enough? If Huan'er hadn't told me about it privately and comforted me from time to time, I'm afraid I would have followed him!"
"You are the emperor! You are so reckless and risking your life. Even if you don't care about me, you should think about Huan'er, the prince, and the child in her belly! If something happens to you, how will you let them live?"
The emperor lowered his head and listened to the instructions, not daring to refute a single word.
After the Queen Mother had scolded him enough, he looked up at her and said solemnly, "My son was wrong. It is my fault for making you worry."
"From now on, my son will take good care of Huan'er and take good care of himself. Now that my son has many more ties, he knows to restrain himself and will never dare to mess around again."
Qin Yunhan was laughing and waving his little fists vigorously to cheer for the Empress Dowager.
Thinking of the tears he shed for his father, Qin Yunhan felt that his father was really bad, so bad! It would be better if the grandmother scolded him more.
The Queen Mother also became more spirited. She had the little prince carried to the bed and started teasing him with a bell, ignoring the Emperor who was kneeling beside her.
The emperor touched his nose in embarrassment. They always say the empress dowager is like a child, with a very bad temper, and it is not easy to coax her.
Qin Yunhan kept climbing up to the emperor, kicking his face with his feet without any hesitation, and shouting:
“Father…Father…is bad…bad…”
The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, your father is a bad guy! Han'er is so well behaved, and he knows how to protect his grandmother. He is a good child, much more filial than your father."
The emperor knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't bother with the brat and let him jump around on him.
Qin Yunhan did have some skills, and he finally made the empress dowager smile and no longer frowned towards the emperor.
"Okay, stop standing here. I get angry when I see you! Han'er will stay with me. You should spend some time with Huan'er. She is pregnant and is so worried about you. It's also because Huan'er has a good temper that she doesn't make a fuss with you."
Ji Yunhuan had been sitting nearby as a decoration. Ever since she became pregnant, she was never allowed to bow in front of the empress dowager, let alone kneel.
She just sat there watching the emperor being scolded. It was impossible for her to say that she was not angry, so she would not plead for the emperor, let alone help the emperor.
Liu Dewang was about to step forward to help the emperor, but was stopped by a look from the emperor.
The emperor looked at Ji Yunhuan pitifully, and seeing that Yunhuan was indifferent, he propped himself up and stood up. He was already a little tired, with a purple color under his eyes, and he was staggering as if he was going to fall down at any time.
The eunuchs around pretended not to see anything. They looked around, not knowing what they were busy with. No one came to help the emperor.
Ji Yunhuan clutched her handkerchief, motionless as a mountain. She was fine when she just came, why did she suddenly become so weak? She would not be fooled!
The emperor walked step by step to Ji Yunhuan and whispered, "Huan'er, don't you feel sorry for me at all? I haven't slept for several days, and my headache is severe...hiss...the wound hurts too...I can't even walk..."
Ji Yunhuan stood up holding the handkerchief and touched the emperor's body. "Where are you hurt? Why didn't you tell me? And you had to come over to pay respects to the queen mother. The queen mother wouldn't really be angry with you."
The emperor laughed loudly, picked up Ji Yunhuan, and strode out. "As expected, Huan'er cares about me the most. I will let you see where you are injured later. Look carefully."
