Those outside knew that the late emperor's rightful crown prince had returned. They no longer cared about the current emperor. With the help of those inside and outside, they opened the city gates.
Yu Yezhao was pressed outside the main hall, his face ashen.
He looked at the Crown Prince and the Princess, and to his surprise, both siblings were perfectly fine.
At that time, the crown prince already knew that there were traitors in the army, so he exchanged clothes with his personal guard.
The assassin couldn't recognize faces, only clothes, so he attacked the guard on the spot.
By the time the body was brought back, it was too badly damaged to be recognized.
The army suffered a major defeat, and the crown prince escaped under the escort of his personal guards. When he came to his senses, the new emperor had ascended the throne in the capital, the previous emperor had passed away, and the princesses had all been sent to marry foreign rulers.
The crown prince could not immediately reveal himself; he needed to contact court officials and generals before he could launch an attack.
Now that things have come to this, it is only natural that the brother and sister should join forces to dethrone Yu Ye Zhaoxun from the throne.
The Crown Prince swiftly eliminated the rebels.
He killed the deposed emperor at the palace gate to avenge the late emperor.
With the support of many, he officially ascended the throne.
Because of her merits, the princess was granted the title of Princess Zhenguo and was given the authority to mobilize troops.
He also bestowed the title of Duke upon the bodyguard Shu Chengfeng and held a wedding ceremony for the two of them.
At night, after completing all the tedious rituals, the princess was exhausted.
In the bridal chamber, she didn't care about those mundane things, and just hooked her arm around Shu Chengfeng's neck: "Are you happy? It's just that you have to bow your head here."
In fact, Yu Ye Zhaomu might have had a chance to seize the throne, but she was tired, and Shu Chengfeng didn't have the mind for it, so they gave up.
Her brother treated her well.
"What grievances could you possibly have? If you hadn't had that dream, I wouldn't have met you. As a guard, don't you always have to bow your head?" Shu Chengfeng hugged her tightly: "It's good that you're here."
He can now understand why he returned to the south back then.
The reason she is cold to everyone is probably because she doesn't feel much belonging to Dayan.
Until she gave birth to Bao'er.
I am different from her now; I grew up here.
But the memories of his previous life are still crystal clear in his mind.
I always feel uneasy.
Now everything is alright; the person in his arms is someone he loves. Someone who has had the same experience as him.
They are people you can talk to a lot.
After their wedding, the two went on a trip.
Hengchao is even larger than Dayan, spanning north, south, west, and east; it would take several years to traverse it all.
He set off in the summer with a troop of guards, stopping wherever he went.
For three consecutive years, the group traveled at their own pace, living a carefree and leisurely life.
Perhaps because she was free from burdens in this life, Nan Gui's personality became more and more lively.
She's also adorable when she's focused solely on being in a relationship. She likes to cling to Shu Chengfeng.
She also displayed all her possessiveness towards him.
It was completely different from how I treated him in my previous life.
Shu Chengfeng also understood what Nan Gui's attitude towards him was in his previous life.
After a sigh, all that's left is to forget.
Three years later, one evening, an urgent messenger arrived from the capital with a secret imperial edict summoning Princess Zhenguo back to the capital, saying that His Majesty was seriously ill.
Upon receiving the news, the couple, disregarding their sightseeing, rushed back to the capital.
His Majesty is lying on his bed, and he is already dying.
It turns out he was poisoned before, and although a famous doctor managed to suppress it, it recently flared up completely due to a cold.
It's impossible to suppress it any longer; he clearly doesn't have many days left to live.
He has no sons yet, only a daughter born to the Empress, who was just born this year and is only a few days old.
Upon returning to the south, he issued an imperial edict, passing the throne to Princess Zhenguo.
The Heng Dynasty naturally had female emperors as precedents, but they weren't many.
However, if the Princess Zhenguo were to succeed to the throne, she would still be able to gain the support of the people. After all, the late emperor only had two children.
Princess Zhenguo was also a person of great prestige.
After hastily issuing the decree, His Majesty's condition deteriorated, and after a few days, he passed away.
The princess looked at the imperial edict and was utterly speechless.
She really didn't want to be emperor anymore.
But since things have come to this point, there's no other way but to do it.
He had no choice but to ascend the throne.
She bestowed the title of Prince upon her imperial consort to assist in governing the country.
The veteran officials initially thought she didn't understand politics very well and would need to be taught slowly.
Unexpectedly, the Empress was able to govern everything very well from the very beginning of her reign.
Shu Chengfeng smiled inwardly; after all, he had been an emperor for over twenty years.
Although she moved to a different place, she was born here.
However, he was too happy too soon.
In addition to his official duties, he also helped His Majesty review memorials.
A mountain of folded documents.
Of course, he had no trouble reading the memorials. But he finally understood the feelings he had when he returned south years ago.
Just three months after His Majesty ascended the throne, she discovered she was pregnant.
This existed before he ascended the throne.
However, her pregnancy is stable and everything is fine.
With the help of the Emperor, she conceived and gave birth without any major problems.
On the day she gave birth, Shu Chengfeng stayed by the door all day, his nervousness was obvious to everyone.
Until the baby was born inside, crying loudly.
The messenger came out and said it was the prince, and that both mother and child were safe.
He just smiled.
He really missed Bao'er; he passed away when the child was still young.
Now... having left this entire time and space, it's impossible for Bao'er to see her again.
Even now, she is still the woman he loves most, and the one who bore him his child.
He finally had a complete family.
In this lifetime, he will only have Nan Gui, and Nan Gui will be the same.
They, and their children, will live very, very well.
After the prince was born, His Majesty gradually recovered and resumed attending court and governing the country.
