The news that the emperor was critically ill suddenly came from Beijing, Lu Ruxue thought of her mother's position, and was a little panicked in her heart, and couldn't help but ask, wanting to borrow Mu Xuanyang's idea to make up her mind for herself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What if Ruxue wants to be a husband?" the meaning of his wife's words, how could Mu Xuanyang not know, but subconsciously asked rhetorically.

But after asking him, he regretted it, "Forget it, as Xue thinks in her heart, her husband understands." It's okay not to answer. ”

It turned out that it was not only herself who was in a dilemma, looking at Mu Xuanyang's flashing gaze, Lu Ruxue had already made up her mind.

"I just want my husband to be safe, and I want to hold hands with Xuanyang. Am I greedy?" she didn't mention her mother's family, but silently read in her heart, "I want to keep all my relatives safe." ”

"No, that's what I thought in my heart. Mu Xuanyang pressed his chin against his wife's heart, "Don't worry, no matter what, you are my Mu Xuanyang's only wife, and you will never accept a concubine." ”

His words were equivalent to telling Lu Ruxue that if King Yan wanted that position, he, as his son, would go all out. But whether he is crowned king or made a prince in the future, he only needs her. He will protect her, guard her, and of course include her relatives.

Lu Ruxue smiled, there were no tears in her eyes, because she felt very happy, so she didn't want to cry with joy. Even many years later, even if Mu Xuanyang lost her words, she never cried.

Because she believed that Mu Xuanyang made a lifelong promise at that time. It's just that he was forced by current events to become involuntarily.

For several days, early in the morning, King Yan summoned his staff to discuss matters in the study. But he didn't wait for the news of the emperor's death, but waited for a holy decree.

The emperor's grandson issued an edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven, asking the vassal kings to bring their sons to Beijing within a month to serve the emperor.

Filial piety comes first, and this Daoming issued a holy decree, forcing the vassal kings to enter Beijing. And the edict stated that the number of accompanying sergeants should not exceed 1,000. There is a suspicion of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

The holy decree was transmitted to the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, and Lu Ruxue was very happy to hear it, she had only been out of Beijing for more than a month before she could return to Beijing. Thinking that he could wait until he returned to Beijing and then go back to his parents' house to discuss with his grandfather and uncle, he felt confident in his heart.

Tell Caiyue to take people to tidy up the cages for travel, there are not too many things, just pick up what can be used and put them on. As for ornaments and ornaments, it is impossible for the royal palace in Beijing to lack these. And prepared a return gift for my grandmother and mother.

But he didn't know that after the Yun family presided over the wedding ceremony for his son, he left Beijing with his son and his family and went straight to Wangping County. The exchange of letters always has to be delayed for some time, and the family has missed it like this.

After King Yan received the order, he did not delay, and gave the order as soon as possible, and set off three days later.

For these people who play with power, sometimes they have to be admired. At least in Lu Ruxue's opinion, King Yan knew the risks of this trip, and should find some excuse to delay until the emperor died. and then on the grounds of mourning, a large number of troops.

But this is not the case. It's just that I don't know if King Yan has already become a man in his chest, or if he has to do it as a last resort.

Three days later, at the beginning of the morning, nearly 2,000 chariots and horses guarded the slaves, all the way to the Beijing Division. Lu Ruxue asked Mu Xuanyang for help and sent news to Taifu's Mansion in advance.

The road was peaceful, and he entered Beijing in less than a month. According to the dress, as soon as Lu Ruxue entered Beijing, she had to follow Princess Yan into the palace.

However, the crown princess thought that the emperor prayed for blessings and copied scriptures as an excuse, and all the wives and children of several vassal kings were detained in the palace.

Lu Ruxue and Princess Yan were placed in two palaces with Princess Yan, although they were in the same courtyard, they were not allowed to see each other.

Lu Ruxue only has Caiyue and Caixing by her side, and this is also because she is the wife of the general of the second grade Zhenguo, so after registering in the palace, she is allowed to bring two minions into the palace.

Foreigners below the third class are only accompanied by the palace attendants, and they are not allowed to bring people into the palace without permission. Inside and outside the courtyard, there are all internal guards with strong martial arts. The eunuchs walked cautiously, and there was a strange danger everywhere.

Lu Ruxue didn't know what was happening outside the palace, but she thought that the emperor should have arrived. A day and night later, the death knell was heard in the palace. A eunuch came to announce the decree, and the emperor died.

The emperor's grandson inherited the edict of the previous emperor and became the new emperor. After the new emperor guards the spirit of the Daxing Emperor and formulates the name and temple number, the women can leave the palace.

All the women went to the jewelry, changed into mourning clothes, and immediately went to the Shouhuang Palace to cry and mourn with the queen mother and other women. The new emperor who had just ascended the throne made his first decree the crown princess as the queen mother.

Concubine Ning Guo was honored as a concubine and handed over the phoenix seal. After burying the Daxing Emperor, he moved out and lived again. The emperor's grandson's quick means seem to have been prepared.

First, he explicitly ordered all the vassal kings to be recalled, and then these wives and the princes of the vassal kings were locked up in the palace separately, so that these people would not exchange news and use it to blackmail the vassal kings and other rebellious courtiers.

He also set up a new lord for the inner palace, and did not first crown the imperial concubine as the queen, but named the queen mother. The difference of one word is equal to the first order of all women. The Empress Dowager's decree is heavier than the Empress Dowager's decree. You can also suppress the arrogance of these uncles and princesses.

Among all the grounded women, Lu Ruxue's rank is not high, and she has Princess Yan and Princess Shizi above her. Even his grandmother, Mrs. Lu, and his eldest aunt, Tang, are also higher in rank than themselves. Therefore, although several people are in the same courtyard, they are not allowed to see each other.

And Lu Ruxue has no connections in the palace, so she can't even deliver a message. Cai Yue tried to sneak out several times, but was unsuccessful.

So until the new emperor issued an order, she was monitored by the palace guards and chamberlains, and when she rushed to the Shouhuang Palace to cry for Emperor Daxing, she glanced at her grandmother from a distance.

Mrs. Lu is old, and she is trying to find her granddaughter in the crowd. Still with Tang's sharp eyes, he found his niece standing behind a few rows, and whispered to his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Lu nodded in the direction of her granddaughter, although she couldn't see it, she believed that her granddaughter understood what she meant.

Lu Ruxue knew that her grandmother was telling her not to worry, and she couldn't help but shed tears in her heart. Princess Yan and Princess Shizi never paid any attention to her, but their mother's family was still comforting her at this time.

In addition to the people in the Lu Mansion, Lu Ruxue also saw Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Wei Guo, and Mrs. Yun and other relatives. But they are a little far away from each other, but they just meet their eyes and comfort each other.

Anyway, I'm here to cry and mourn, Lu Ruxue thought, even if she burst into tears, she wouldn't be ashamed. So he cried out of his temper.

The people around him also covered their faces with handkerchiefs and cried, as for whether they were really sad or pretending to cry, they knew that they were more fake than sincere.

Cai Yue and other servants were not allowed to enter with their masters, but they gave her a chance, and took the opportunity to touch the big maids who followed Mrs. Lu into the palace with Mrs. Lu, Lan Ruo and Lan Zhi.
