Chapter 437 The End (1)
When Zhao Yu stood up and turned around, all the members of the royal family in the hall kowtowed to the new king and shouted together, "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your life."
Zhao Yu looked at this scene from a high place, and in addition to his ambitions, he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness that was so cold that he stood here and looked down. It turned out that this was a feeling of standing here. No wonder the ancient kings would enjoy themselves.
He suddenly anxiously found where Rong Jingqiu was in the crowd. In this hall, she was the only one who could drive away this feeling of loneliness.
When he saw the familiar figure, he felt at ease and eagerly stepped down from the high platform and helped her up in person.
When Rong Jingqiu saw her hands reaching out, she looked up at Zhao Yu and saw her reflection in his dark eyes. The couple looked at each other, everything was silent. She stretched out her hands into his big palm.
He held her hand tightly, gently helped her up, and then took her hand to the high platform. He just wanted to share this world with her.
Zhao Yu's actions were seen by many people. Men thought that Zhao Yu was kind and righteous, and that he was well-developed and never forgot his wife. Such a new king was worth following; while the female relatives looked envious. They didn't think that there was anything that the Ninth Princess was worthy of envy before. Now, seeing that she was about to enter the central palace as the queen, and the king treated her deeply and kindly, and compared with others, he instantly became a scumbag, so he saw that his men became more and more disliked. He was really angry.
Before the men could feel the resentment from their wives, they saw Zhao Yu personally helping the second prince and the third prince, and giving them great face. Then he raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
When the new emperor came to power, the first thing he did was to mourn the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty. These things needed to be discussed with civil and military officials, not just within the royal family. Therefore, after the death knell rang, the officials who received the news rushed to the palace one after another.
This year will not be celebrated.
On the first night of mourning for the Emperor Daxing, Concubine Xia fulfilled her promise to commit suicide and buried herself. When the concubines of the late emperor heard this, some of them turned pale in an instant, afraid that they would also be buried with them, while others looked strange and thought that this matter was quite suspicious, but they were hidden in their hearts and dared not say it out, especially when the ninth princess Rong Jingqiu, who was at the forefront of the mourning position, had a calm expression. They could only lower their heads to hide their true emotions.
Rong Jingqiu said with a compassionate look, "Concubine Xia Gao Yi, should be buried with the king."
With her words, everyone collected Concubine Xia with the highest specifications, and then stopped the coffin beside the Emperor Daxing, and everyone cried for her.
The fourth prince even intended to usurp the throne, and was demoted to a commoner, and was given a cup of poisoned wine to commit suicide. His descendants were all demoted to commoners and were exiled for three thousand miles. This made the Four Prince's Mansion cry in an instant. The fourth prince's legitimate son shouted that his father was harmed, and was beaten half dead, dying in prison, and finally died in prison. Of course, this is a story later.
All the party members involved in the force of the fourth prince were held accountable. The former Gaomen Mansion, the Marquis of Xuanping, was convicted overnight. When the soldiers broke into the mansion and searched the house, Zhong Gui was still confused. Until she knew that her son had been put into prison and was about to be executed soon, her eyes widened and she murmured in disbelief, "Impossible, how is this possible?"
She confirmed that the fourth prince had the appearance of a pro-monarch and forced her son to stand on the side. She even hid this matter from her husband. Now that she was given a serious crime, she couldn't figure out what went wrong?
But before she could figure it out, her husband, Xuan Ping, came over with a sword and looked at her coldly, "No wonder it is said that marrying a wife is not a virtuous person for three generations. The most unfortunate thing in my life is to marry you as a disaster star. Now the entire family has been implicated to death by you." After that, without waiting for Zhong Gui's defense, he stabbed her heart with a sword.
Zhong Gui fell in a pool of blood with his eyes open. For the first time, he felt that he had done something wrong and should not have taken the life of his whole family for the sake of a fight for his will, but it was too late to regret it at this time.
Just like the entire Xuanping Hou Mansion was convicted, the Xia family was also confiscated and imprisoned.
Xia Rong said it was unreasonable and even clamored to see Empress Dowager Xia. As a result, she was told that Empress Dowager Xia committed suicide by taking poison for fear of crime. She suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue. She never thought it would be the result?
In the end, she couldn't ask about Concubine Xia again? She thought that even if she asked her to kneel down and beg Xia Wei, she would kneel down obediently.
All the Xia family looked at the person who came to search the house with hope. Now the only one who can save the family is Xia Wei, especially Xia Wei's biological parents, the resentful couple.
"The Imperial Concubine has gone with the Emperor Daxing."
Hearing this, Xia Rong's face was ashamed, and finally laughed wildly, "I should have understood that in order to revenge on the Xia family, she did not sacrifice her life as a bet."
After all, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get rid of such a fate. This time she accepted her fate.
Xia Wei's biological mother, Xia Wang, didn't believe it, but no matter how she cried, it was no longer useful, and she was finally taken to jail.
Unlike most people in the Xuanping Hou Mansion who were demoted to common people and exiled for three thousand miles, the final judgment of the Xia family was to be beheaded by the entire clan.
Compared with these two families, the other rulings of the Fourth Prince were not very heavy, so it was considered that the new emperor let them live.
On the day when the Xia family was beheaded, a carriage was parked not far from the execution vegetable market. A woman in the carriage gently lifted the curtains and looked at the bloody scene of the beheading coldly.
Xia Rong, who was knelt on the beheading platform, saw the woman in the carriage in the crowd, her eyes widened. Xia Wei, why didn't she die?
Xia Wei smiled at the former aunt from afar. This was the winner's smile, and she finally waited for this day.
Many novels say that afterbirth will feel empty when taking revenge, but Xia Wei doesn't feel this way. It's so wonderful to see this family of evil people going to the underworld.
"Xia..." Xia Rong wanted to accuse Xia Wei of her. Although she was not dead, she insisted on seeking fame and saying that she was buried with her good reputation. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor.
But she didn't have time to say this in the end, and her head was different, and she couldn't close her eyes when she died.
Xia Wei smiled at the corner of her lips as the heads of the Xia family were cut down one by one. Seeing that the sin finally ended, she did not collect the body for the Xia family, but put down the curtains of the carriage outside and ordered, "Let's go."
She was finally leaving the capital. Her mood was extremely complicated. When she said goodbye to Rong Jingqiu in the palace, Rong Jingqiu told her that she would come back if she was tired of traveling outside and didn’t have to worry about her identity. After all, Concubine Xia has gone, and there is always a place for her in this capital.
She smiled and said "Okay", but she knew in her heart that she would never step into the capital in her life. This place had brought her pure friendship, but also brought her pain that would never be erased in her life.
When the carriage drove out of the city gate and ran on the official road, she sniffed to prevent herself from crying easily.
But at this moment, the maid reported, "Girl, someone is blocking the way outside."
Xia Wei pressed the corner of her eyes with a veil, and then she said seriously, "Who is blocking the way..."
Before she could ask clearly, she heard a voice outside that she was once familiar with and unfamiliar at this moment, "Miss Xia, I wonder if there is this honor to follow you to travel all over the mountains and rivers of Da'an?"
She suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, and what was reflected in front of her was Sun Chongxiu's handsome face. She looked at him bowing in disbelief and said, "How come you... are you here?"
She left the palace secretly. After all, the fact that she pretended to die cannot be made public. Logically speaking, Sun Chongxiu could not have appeared here.
Sun Chongxiu saw the question in her eyes and smiled, "The Ninth Princess sent me the message."
Rong Jingqiu?
Xia Wei was in a very complicated mood. She knew that Sun Chongxiu was also a child of a big family, and had a father and a mother, so she said, "Young Master Sun, you still have a bright future. Don't delay it for me, I..."
Sun Chongxiu still smiled, "Miss Xia, I decided to go all over the mountains and rivers with you. It was not an impulse, but an arrangement had been made long ago. Don't worry."
Compared to himself back then, he is more mature now.
"For your past, that's all over. When you walk out of this city gate today, you will be a brand new you, and I will be a brand new me."
She refused to believe in herself back then, but now he hopes she can try to believe him for a while.
Xia Wei looked at him calmly for a while. Compared to that time, the man in front of her had a hint of perseverance. Finally, she whispered softly, "If you want to follow, just follow."
One day, when you are tired of it, you will naturally leave, so she doesn't need to do anything more.
The curtain of the car was lowered, and she sat back in the carriage, "Let's go."
This time, she no longer felt emotional, but picked up the travel notes beside her and read them. Or she could write a travel notes and was still undecided. At this moment, she made a decision in her heart.
Many years later, when "The Travels of Xia Family" was published, its beautiful writing style, description of mountains and geography, and local customs made the book popular, but no one knew who the real author of this book was, and it left unlimited speculations to future generations.
At this time, Xia Wei didn't think so much. She smiled when she heard the sound of horse hooves outside and her eyebrows were circulating.
The Rong family became the queen, which made the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion rise in an instant. Rong Fu's head no pain, his waist no soreness, and his legs no pain. Then he soon shook among the old sisters. The old sisters also praised her for her good teaching skills. She laughed after hearing this. If she had known that Rong Jingqiu had such great luck, she would have won her to death when she came back. It's a pity that she could not buy a fortune.
Rong Jinshi had no time to care about her mother-in-law's eloquence, but instead accompanied Zhao Youyou to hide in a safe place until Rong Jingqiu came in person.
When Rong Jingqiu saw her son, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She couldn't bear to let go when she hugged her son.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Youyou whispered in her arms. He had been waiting for her to pick him up, but after waiting and waiting, he waited for his mother to arrive.
"Yuyou, I miss you to death." Rong Jingqiu quickly swore that she would not leave him again in the future, and Zhao Youyou stopped pouting.
Rong Jinshi watched the mother and son kiss each other for a long time before she said, "Has it settled outside?"
Rong Jingqiu stroked her son's hair again and again. After hearing this, she nodded. If it weren't for the stability of everything, she wouldn't dare to come to pick her up. With the lessons learned by the fourth princess Wu, she was most concerned about her son's safety.
Then Rong Jin chanted "Amitabha" and finally the rain was clear. Compared to her daughter's queen, she hoped that she and her young grandson would be safe. When a person lives to a certain age, glory and wealth are no longer so important.
"By the way, where is the son-in-law?" After a while, she realized that she had not seen Zhao Yu, and immediately asked nervously.
In fact, she didn't really want Zhao Yu to be the emperor. On the one hand, she had a great responsibility, and on the other hand, the emperor's harem could not be empty. This was not something she liked. She would rather be a son-in-law as a prince of Taiping.
Rong Jingqiu held her son and continued to kiss the fragrance, "He will be here later."
During this period, neither of them met each other very much. After all, it was the top priority to eliminate the fourth prince's gangsters, and the emperor of the Daxing also had to hold a funeral. These were urgent matters. She also had to lead the concubines and foreign wives of the advanced emperor to guard the late emperor. She had to ask her for instructions on all matters in the palace, which was more than twice as busy as when she was a princess.
In the end, in order to keep the palace running and to temporarily liberate herself to pick up her son, she directly appointed the second princess Lu and the eleventh prince's concubine Jin Rui to assist the palace affairs, so that she could get out.
When Rong Jin heard her daughter say this, her face calmed down. She was slowly repairing her relationship with her daughter, so she did not dare to make any suggestions to make her look at her son-in-law.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhao Yu arrived. This time the couple left the palace and had to separate from each other. He was also very depressed and even more annoyed that old man from Prime Minister Qi. He was so tired of having a dispute with him during this period. Although he had known that there would be conflicts with Prime Minister Qi, he did not expect that it would appear so soon.
When he arrived at this villa, he hurriedly dismounted and rushed to the house to see his wife and children.
When Zhao Youyou saw his father come in, he immediately jumped out of his mother's arms and jumped onto his father. The little guy had to complain a few times. Seeing his lively son, Zhao Yu's physical and mental fatigue was instantly wiped out, and he rarely kissed his son's face several times.
When Emperor Daxing was traveling to the West, he did not tell his son that the child was too young to understand what life and death were. He would wait until the child was older, after all, the friendship between the child and the emperor and grandfather was quite strong. The seal ring of Emperor Daxing was still hung around the child's neck.
When Rong Jin saw his son-in-law coming in, he hurriedly went forward to salute.
Zhao Yu waved his hand and told her not to be polite. This mother-in-law made him speechless before, but because of her contribution to protecting Zhao Youyou, he was willing to give the other party a good look.
