If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 463: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne (Edited)

Fu Jinyi thought he was hiding very secretly, and even if he was found, it would take a few days.

Who knows.

He had just started to have a few words with Old Master Shen when his good brother arrived.

I thought the eldest brother wanted to have a long talk with him, but in the end, without saying a word, he just picked him up and went back to the palace.

"..." Fu Jinyi huddled in the carriage, carefully examining Fu Jinyuan's expression.

"Your sister-in-law and I don't like living in the palace. We still have to support Chao Ge'er and give him more brothers and sisters. You are alone, so it doesn't matter if you are a little tired."

"You grew up in the palace and are already familiar with palace life."

"Don't try to be lazy."

"..." Fu Jinyi opened his mouth.

"Brother, I'm not in good health and I can easily get sick from overwork." Fu Jinyi said helplessly.

Fu Jinyuan looked at his complexion carefully. His face was rosy, his eyes were bright, and his voice was full of strength.

As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, he thinks Fu Jinyi should be able to live a good life.

"Doctor Zhou will stay in the royal capital." Fu Jinyuan said.

“……”Fu Jinyi’s mouth twitched.

His brother doesn't seem to care about him anymore.

"Brother, what made you so cold-blooded and heartless?" Fu Jinyi screamed.

Fu Jinyuan showed no mercy, "How can you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?"

"You are my brother, smart and kind, you will do better than the late emperor."

"What if...what if?" Fu Jinyi muttered softly.

What if he is not as good as the late emperor? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

He looked down on his father, but ended up doing worse than his father. It was really shameful.

Fu Jinyuan smiled and patted his shoulder, "No, you're better than him."

"Brother, will you always help me?" Fu Jinyi asked.

"Yes, you are my only brother."

Fu Jinyi finally raised the corners of his mouth.

Just like that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was brought back by Fu Jinyuan one hour after he disappeared.

The Ministry of Rites began preparing for the coronation ceremony.

Fu Jinyuan sent Fu Jinyi back to the East Palace, and then asked him, "Why did you think of going to see Old Master Shen?"

"When I was in Kyoto, I stayed at the Shen family for a few days. The old man praised me highly. No one is as discerning as he is in identifying talent. I like talking to Old Master Shen. I think no matter what decision I make, he will definitely support me."

"So he supports you to quit and leave without caring about anything?" Fu Jinyuan asked.

Fu Jinyi whispered, "That's not the case."

"The old man said that being an emperor is not easy, but every emperor has a different way of being one. I can also have my own ideas, as long as I understand the emperor's way of survival."

"Oh? What is your way of being an emperor?" Fu Jinyuan asked.

"One man is the sky, holding great power. He must judge the situation, make the best use of everything and people, have a broad mind to accommodate the world and a broad heart to accommodate all rivers." Fu Jinyi said.

"The emperor's heaven is the people."

Fu Jinyuan nodded, "Yes."

Isn't this great?

Who is born to be an emperor? Don’t they all learn little by little?

……

"Empress, the prince has brought back His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Qingdai walked into the palace and whispered to Queen Ruan.

Queen Ruan raised her head and put away the letter in her hand.

"What is the prince doing?" asked Queen Ruan.

Qing Dai: "After the prince left the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been reading."

Queen Ruan chuckled, "He will take the initiative to read books?"

"The prince still listens to the prince very much, and the prince really understands the prince and knows where His Highness will go at once." Qingdai said.

"Where did you hide?" asked Queen Ruan.

Qing Dai: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone to see Old Master Shen."

"Princess Chen's grandfather?" Queen Ruan was slightly stunned.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "I remember my grandfather once mentioned that Old Master Shen was the former Prime Minister of the Yong Dynasty."

"It would be nice if he could become the prince's tutor."

This was a matter concerning the imperial court, and it was not appropriate for Qingdai to comment on it. She silently poured hot tea for Queen Ruan.

Queen Ruan seemed to have just mentioned it casually and didn't say anything else.

When the Ministry of Rites began preparing for the coronation ceremony, some ministers who were unaware of the situation discussed where Fu Yuxuan was going.

King?

Or confinement?

There must be a conclusion.

However, no matter how the ministers discussed it, no cabinet minister responded.

As cabinet ministers, even though the empress dowager deliberately concealed the news, they were summoned to the palace on the night of the emperor's death.

From the reactions of the Queen Mother and the Empress, they all guessed the reason.

No matter what is said about Fu Yuxuan now, there will be only one result in the end.

Concubine Liu, who was under house arrest, was almost going crazy.

She had nightmares every day, dreaming that she died a violent death and that her son was torn into pieces by five horses in front of her.

"Let me out, I am the empress dowager. The emperor has passed the throne to Yu'er, so I am the empress dowager..." Concubine Liu leaned against the door, muttering to herself.

"Don't dream, Imperial Concubine. The new emperor's coronation ceremony is being prepared. In two days, this palace will be completely different."

Concubine Liu burst into tears.

She regretted it.

If she hadn't stolen the imperial seal, she and Yu'er could still have gotten along, but now they don't even have the chance.

"My Lady, you may not know this, but when the Second Prince heard that the Emperor had passed away, he rushed to see the Emperor, but he fell on the way and broke his leg again."

"I heard from the imperial physician that if the legs were not amputated, the man would probably die."

Concubine Liu heard the palace servants outside talking in a sarcastic tone. After a moment of hesitation, she finally understood what the other party meant.

She screamed, "Let me out, Yu'er, I want to see Yu'er..."

But no one paid any attention to her.

Another day passed, and Concubine Liu's voice had become hoarse from screaming.

Suddenly, two strange maids came and took her to the Cining Palace.

“Empress Dowager, please, save Yu’er…” Concubine Liu kowtowed hard to Empress Dowager Mu.

Queen Mother Mu looked at her coldly, as if she were a dead person.

"I heard what you said that day, and I have also found out about your background." Queen Mother Mu said calmly.

"If it weren't for the emperor's reputation, I would have ordered you and your son to be executed and thrown into a mass grave."

Empress Dowager Mu suppressed her anger and finally remembered what the emperor wanted to say when he died.

He didn't ask her to take good care of Concubine Liu and the Second Prince, but to execute the mother and son.

"Empress Dowager, Yu'er is the emperor's most beloved son. He...he should be the crown prince." Concubine Liu shouted.

Queen Mother Mu found that there was no need to talk to this stupid woman.

"Bring the person up." Queen Mother Mu ordered.

Then, a woman who looked almost exactly like Concubine Liu was brought up. She was wearing the same clothes as Concubine Liu.

When the two stand together, it is difficult to tell the real one from the fake one.

"Liu Miaoxin, you bitch, why did you show up, why don't you just die." Seeing her sister, Concubine Liu completely collapsed.

"Since you like being a stand-in so much, then be a stand-in for the rest of your life," said Queen Mother Mu.

"After the new emperor ascends the throne, Concubine Liu will take the crippled Second Prince away from the capital to his fiefdom and live a good life forever."

"Empress Liu, come here." Empress Dowager Mu waved her hand.

Concubine Liu was delighted. Before she stood up, she saw Liu Miaoxin approaching her, "Your Highness, I greet the Empress Dowager."

"Very good." Queen Mother Mu nodded lightly.

"Princess Chen has sent your son back to the capital. He will be the second prince from now on. You and he will stay in your fiefdom and never return to the capital for the rest of your life." Queen Mother Mu said.

For the sake of the emperor's reputation, people all over the world cannot know that He Jingyao is of royal blood, but He Jingyao can replace Fu Yuxuan's identity and live his life as an idle prince, enjoying wealth and glory.

As for this fake mother and son.

Just be buried quietly and silently.

Concubine Liu opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time.

What do you mean?

The Queen Mother wants Liu Miaoxin to replace her identity?

Who did she say Liu Miaoxin’s son was?

Are you talking about He Jingyao?

"Queen Mother, you can't treat Yu'er like this...you can't..."

Empress Dowager Mu had no expression on her face. She lowered her eyes and looked at Concubine Liu. "Grant her death."

……

The Golden Crow is rising.

The royal capital was bathed in the dim morning light.

There was already a solemn and dignified atmosphere in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The wide imperial road was paved with yellow forge, with flags fluttering on both sides and dragon patterns rustling in the wind.

Civil and military officials wore court robes and were arranged in order of rank.

Standing in the front was Fu Jinyuan, wearing a five-clawed brocade robe.

As the deep sound of bells echoed in the palace, the coronation ceremony officially began.

"The auspicious time has come."

The ceremonial officer sang loudly with a long voice.

Fu Jinyi, wearing a bright yellow robe and a crown on his head, walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony slowly and steadily.

The golden dragon embroidery on the dragon robe sparkles in the sunlight.

The boy who was once pure and innocent now looks like a king.

The ceremonial officer read the imperial edict aloud, announcing to the world the new emperor's ascension to the throne in passionate words.

Every word and sentence announces the beginning of a new era.

Fu Jinyuan smiled faintly and knelt down on his knees.

"Long live my emperor."

Fu Jinyi looked at his elder brother who was kneeling down to him, and his pupils shrank slightly.

All the ministers have already knelt down, and the sound echoes throughout the palace.

Fu Jinyuan nodded slightly towards Fu Jinyi.

Finally, Fu Jinyi took over the jade seal symbolizing imperial power from the official of the Ministry of Rites.

If Concubine Liu were still alive and standing here, she would definitely find that the jade seal in Fu Jinyi's hand at this moment was completely different from the one she found under Emperor Fu's pillow that day.

After the ceremony, the new emperor issued his first imperial decree, appointing Prince Fu Jinyuan as regent and granting the regent amnesty so that he would not have to kneel when seeing him in the future.

This decree caused a great uproar in the court, but it was the first decree from the new emperor, and even the cabinet ministers tried to persuade him in vain.

The second order was to confer the title of king on Fu Yuxuan and to take Concubine Liu to the fiefdom that very day.

His fief was in Dongning and his title was Xiaoyao.

"Dongning is right next to Suzhou, but it is completely incomparable to Suzhou. It is surrounded by wasteland, and it has to rely on Suzhou for survival." Qingsu explained, pointing to the location on the map.

Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows. It was indeed a good place.

Concubine Liu and Fu Yuxuan are already dead, and the ones going to Dongning now are Liu Miaoxin and He Jingyao.

She wasn't worried that Liu Miaoxin would change her mind midway, it was this He Jingyao...

Even though he was a disabled person, she still worried about him.

"Okay, we have to go to the palace to pay our respects tomorrow." Fu Jinyi finally became the new emperor, and it was time for the Southern Dynasty to embark on a new journey.

I don’t know when Fu Jinyuan will decide to go to Suzhou.

Shen Sui'an called Ban Jian in and said, "Take inventory of the warehouse these days."

Ban Jian was stunned, "Princess, what happened?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Just do whatever you're told to do." Shen Sui'an said with a smile, "Since we've come to the capital, the prince and I have received many more rewards. I'm just afraid that some of them have been missed and not registered."

Ban Jian smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will definitely check it carefully."

At night, Fu Jinyuan finally came back.

Ever since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been so busy that he has hardly been seen. He is either in the official office in the palace or in the Pacification Office.

"Prince... No, the Emperor's ascension to the throne is not related to the Ministry of Rites. How come you have been so busy that you have lost weight?" Shen Sui'an felt a little distressed. She touched his chin and saw stubble.

Fu Jinyuan held her in his arms and said, "The rain in Hexi has not stopped yet. The court is preparing food to be sent there. There are already refugees coming to the capital."

Shen Sui'an was stunned. "It's been...more than a month, and the rain hasn't stopped yet?"

"Hmm." Fu Jinyuan sighed.

"The new emperor has just ascended the throne. If a major disaster occurs in Hexi, I am afraid it will have an impact on the new emperor." Shen Sui'an said in a low voice.

Fu Jinyuan naturally thought of this, so he had been preparing for this matter long before.

"I may have to go to Hexi in person." Fu Jinyuan said.

Shen Sui'an bit his lip and said, "I will try to prepare more medicinal materials tomorrow. In addition to food, medicinal materials are also very important in the disaster area."

"Yeah." Fu Jinyuan rubbed her head.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Shen Suian told Fu Jinyuan about Chen Qiong'er.

"I wanted to tell you a few days ago, but you were busy with the late emperor's funeral."

Fu Jinyuan's eyes turned cold, "You locked her up in Bai's place?"

"After all, she is your concubine. If you execute her at this critical moment, someone will definitely blame you behind your back." Shen Sui'an said.

"He's not worth mentioning. I'm going to change my clothes. Is Brother Chao asleep?" Fu Jinyuan asked.

He hadn't seen his son for a few days, so he naturally missed him.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "He just woke up. I'll ask the nurse to bring him over."

"He will be able to turn things around today." Shen Suian said with a smile.

After Fu Jinyuan washed up, he came out refreshed and saw Shen Suian teasing her son on the bed. The warm yellowish light cast a faint halo around her, making her smile look even more gentle.

The moment he saw the mother and son, his mood became much calmer.

"Husband, look." Shen Suian waved happily.

Chao Ge'er was lying on the soft blanket, looking up and smiling at her.

The smile is lovely and pure, like the rising sun, warm and bright.

Fu Jinyuan bent down and kissed his son's bald head.

"He has no hair?" Fu Jinyuan asked.

"..." Shen Suian glared at him, "Where is there no hair! This is hair. Doctor Zhou said that those with less hair now will have thicker hair in the future! This was the case when I was a child."

Shen Sui'an has black, smooth and thick hair.

Fu Jinyuan lowered his eyes and looked at his son, "Well, it's impossible for us to give birth to a bald head."

His hair is very thick, coarse and hard.
