The second, fourth, and fifth princes all watched this scene with disdain.
"Third brother, you still dare to say you didn't covet this position? What do you have to say now?"
"What a despicable and shameless scoundrel! Could it be that you coerced or bribed Father Emperor to issue this imperial edict?"
They all looked at him with hatred.
Their words caused most of the people present to change their expressions, and they all looked at the Third Prince with suspicion.
The three princes were not angered by their words; instead, they looked at the fourth and fifth princes with a half-smile.
"Outrageous! When the Emperor was here, everyone was outside. How could the Third Prince possibly coerce or bribe the Emperor into issuing an imperial edict? Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, stop being so persistent here. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the First Prince!"
This palace visit had already unsettled the eldest prince. Moreover, he was no longer qualified to sit on the throne. After all, he knew his own strength better than anyone else, and his father had already made proper arrangements for his funeral.
He just wanted to live a carefree and easy life; as for the throne, he didn't care who it was, and he didn't want to sit in that position.
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, your father-in-law is right. This imperial edict was issued by Father Emperor before his death. We were all outside at the time. You can ask these concubines if you don't believe me."
The Crown Prince's words caused the ministers who had initially been skeptical to change their expressions and quickly prostrate themselves on the ground in respect.
Seeing that all the ministers had turned against him, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince knew that this matter was over. They had lost to the Third Prince, to the Third Prince who had never fought or competed and had remained silent.
"Alright, that's the end of this matter for now. As for how you should be dealt with, we'll await your decision after Father's burial!"
The palace coup did indeed kill many people.
Love comes and goes quickly, and this offensive came to an end in the quiet of the night.
The next day, the sun shone through the clouds after the rain, illuminating the earth and seemingly bringing new life.
During the national mourning period, almost nowhere in the country was red; the dominant color was white.
The national mourning was a grand affair that lasted for about seven days before the old emperor was finally laid to rest in the imperial mausoleum.
The ascension of a new emperor was imminent, but time was needed to make arrangements. So, half a month later, the new emperor ascended the throne. The one who ascended the throne was the Third Prince, which was something no one had expected.
Luo Yunhe was also very surprised when he learned about this. He never expected that this storm would come and go so quickly and then subside.
The most important thing is that the seemingly unassuming and gentle Third Prince actually became the new emperor.
Luo Yunhe didn't believe that the new emperor would be so indifferent to so many people.
He secured this position quietly, which shows how much effort he put in behind the scenes.
With the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the exemplary events were over, and the entire imperial city once again became lively and bustling. The common people who had been hiding at home gradually came out.
Almost everyone was immersed in the joy, except for Luo Yunhe, who frowned deeply. He had tried to pay his respects to General Xu several times, but had been refused each time.
In the end, Luo Yunhe got angry.
That day, he used his points to exchange for a special ability and entered General Xu's mansion.
His forceful and domineering methods turned the entire General Xu's mansion upside down.
With the new emperor's ascension to the throne, almost everyone was extremely busy, discussing all sorts of matters in the palace every day.
Therefore, Luo Yunhe's attempt to enter did not result in her meeting with General Xu.
However, Luo Yunhe's actions offended the people of General Xu's mansion, who felt offended by his behavior.
However, Luo Yunhe was not afraid. He had endured long enough. Logically, he should have appeared on the day they returned to the capital in triumph and found Su Jingxuan.
The fact that he has been able to endure until now is entirely due to the Third Prince's wishes. Now that the matter is over, why can't he see his husband?
What's the logic behind this?
Besides, he had already been in the capital for almost half a year, and he didn't want to wait here any longer. There were still so many things at home that needed his attention, and he didn't have that much time to wait here any longer.
That damned Su Jingxuan, doesn't he know he's here?
Luo Yunhe was furious when she didn't see anyone, and she even locked herself in her room when she got back.
For the next few days, Luo Yunhe tried to force her way into General Xu's clothes, but she never saw them. This made Luo Yunhe very angry.
He vowed that if he couldn't see anyone again, he might just break into the palace and confront the emperor.
However, before he could fully implement his idea, another major event occurred in the capital.
That day, having nothing to do, she strolled along the street, occasionally buying some snacks as she walked and observed the sights, while also listening to the gossip circulating around her.
A large procession entered the city from outside, and within this procession were several cages. Inside each cage were people.
Counting carefully, there were more than 10 cages. It was unclear where these criminals had been brought from; they were all filthy and disheveled.
When the people of the capital saw these cages, they all pointed and whispered among themselves.
Luo Yunhe was also very curious. She stared at the person in the cage for a long time, feeling that he seemed to be familiar, but she didn't know where she had seen him before.
The emperor ascended the throne, and the whole country celebrated.
Three years of tax exemption, flood control, and awards for soldiers, generals, and other personnel who defended the country...
Luo Yunhe met Su Jingxuan on the night of the emperor's ascension to the throne.
It was Su Jingxuan who came to them on his own initiative.
The two hadn't seen each other for five or six years, so it was inevitable that they would be a little excited when they met again. However, Luo Yunhe suppressed her excitement and stared at him with angry eyes.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Su Jingxuan cautiously approached him, but Luo Yunhe shook off his hand.
"You knew I was in the capital, so why didn't you come to see me? Do you think I would hold you back? Or do you think that now that you have a high status, you no longer want your wife who has shared your hardships, or do you want to find someone else?"
"Honey, I'm sorry! I know I've wronged you, hurt you, and made you suffer these past few years."
I promise you, I will give you a satisfactory answer after everything is over. Now that the Emperor's matter is resolved, we can have more time together, so please don't be angry anymore, okay?
