Fu Lingtian glanced at Lin Xiao, who was about to get up, then snapped his fingers to summon his guards to deal with Long Qianyi.
"Take him away."
Half a month later, Emperor Yan Yuguo passed away, leaving behind a handwritten edict. Emperor Xuanxin was the orphan of the late emperor, who was not yet 10 years old.
The third prince was stripped of his princely status for treason and imprisoned in the palace for life, never to leave.
The concubines in the harem could be spared the death penalty, but they could not escape punishment. Their ranks were stripped, and they were all sent back to their homes.
However, due to his outstanding military achievements, the new emperor allowed the loyal minister to remain in Yanyu Kingdom to continue serving the local people.
Although the new emperor is only 10 years old, he looks somewhat like Lin Xiao if you look closely.
At this moment, he stood not far from his father, looking at that place as if the man was still there.
Qiu Ye had served the Empress, but the Empress said she was worried about the Emperor because he had just ascended the throne. The Emperor, still wearing that same expression, often looked up in deep thought, despite his young age.
"Your Majesty, it's late. You should go back now, or the Empress Dowager will scold you again for not taking good care of yourself."
The new emperor turned to look at his wet nurse, whose bright eyes seemed to see right through him.
"Tell me, what is the other memorial General Fu submitted?"
"I shouldn't have seen it."
"Or perhaps, my father really was the late emperor?"
Qiuye was quite frightened by these questions, and she didn't dare to lift her face. She bit her lip and remained silent.
This new emperor is incredibly audacious, just like the previous young emperor, though the young emperor was also pitiful, dying at such a young age.
"This servant does not understand why Your Majesty would think this way?"
"Because, I feel as if there is someone watching me all along. But I don't know who that person is."
It turns out that what 009 gave her was a man's seed, which is why He Yunshang got pregnant.
"Father has only been close to me when I was a child. Over the years, do you think I don't know that Father has never liked Mother?"
“My peaceful and prosperous life is also thanks to that man far away in Jiangnan, but I don’t want to kill him because Father Emperor likes him.”
Autumn Leaves looked up and listened to the new emperor's words, feeling sorrowful yet also joyful.
Tragically, the Empress never received the Emperor's love; he only showed her pity.
The good news is that the emperor is not a foolish or incompetent ruler; he is actually a wise ruler, just a bit ruthless. It's often said that emperors are ruthless, but they are actually the most compassionate.
When feelings run deep, only the person experiencing them truly knows, don't they?
Thump, thump, thump!
A series of ominous bell tolled, a death knell! The people in the palace were filled with dread, looking at each other in panic.
What happened? Everything was fine before.
"Oh no! The Empress Dowager has hanged herself!"
Former Chief Eunuch Li was assigned by Lin Xiao to serve the Empress. Although he was extremely reluctant to part with the Emperor, there was nothing he could do.
Steward Li suddenly pushed open the door, bumping right into the new emperor who was about to return home.
Clutching his bright yellow robe, she gasped, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has hanged herself."
"I understand. Bury her according to the rites for the Empress Dowager."
The new emperor paused, then spoke in a slightly pale voice: "After the mourning period ends, I will travel to Jiangnan to see some old friends. Consider it an incognito trip."
In this scene, everyone who appears dies, so why can't he die? Because he can't.
Jiangnan.
A family saw a boatman passing by and they wanted to take his ride, so Lin Xiao tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him and asked him to stop him.
"Boatman, please wait a moment. I wish to board your boat to cross the river. Is that convenient?"
"It's you?"
