Chapter 377 The good intentions of the late emperor
Even his third brother, who was once worthy of being called a bootlicker like himself, worked hard to make money to replenish the national treasury and provide all the military pay needs for the border.
Everyone has found their value, only he is still in a daze.
So after much consideration, he decided to go to the border of Northern Chu.
The Zhenbei Army captured so many cities in Northern Chu that everything needed to be rebuilt. He wanted to go there and use what he had learned about water conservancy and farming to restore stability and prosperity. It could also be considered as atonement for his past life and to contribute to the unification of Jinan in the future.
Song Yunxi made him completely sober up, and also helped him to free himself from his stubborn grief and stand up again. She was his salvation.
He was afraid that his body would not be able to hold on for a few more years. He only hoped that he could complete what she wanted to do in the limited time and spend the rest of his life praying that she would be safe and happy forever.
As for the rest, he doesn't deserve it.
Only after Song Yunxi's figure disappeared did Ye Xuanyu withdrew his gaze.
It's time for him to ask for his father's resignation and leave the capital.
Although Prince Yu was gone, Princess Yu's status and identity were still very stable. After all, she had the Empress Dowager's protection, and Emperor Qinglong was also quite tolerant of her. Princess Yu lived a very comfortable and carefree life in the capital, and no one dared to look down on her because of her widowhood.
But Song Yunxi actually sent her back to Dingzhou. This move not only stunned the dignitaries in the capital, but also made the empress dowager so angry that she fell ill.
Originally everyone thought that she had caused a big disaster this time, and even Emperor Qinglong would definitely reprimand her.
Everyone was standing by and watching the fun, but Emperor Qinglong was like a deaf and blind man, and he didn't say a word about Princess Yu being sent away by Song Yunxi.
Being protected and pampered like this, even the princes and princesses had never received such treatment, and Song Yunxi's untouchable status soared again.
The Empress Dowager was really angry this time as she had been waiting for Emperor Qinglong to punish Song Yunxi but ended up with such a result.
Just like last time, although Emperor Qinglong knew that the Empress Dowager was ill, he still did not go to pay her respects. He only asked Eunuch Sun to go to the Imperial Hospital to inform her.
After Princess Yu was sent back to Dingzhou, just as Song Yunxi had expected, she impulsively went to seek revenge on Liu Cheng, but she never thought that this was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Liu Cheng is a cruel and reckless person, and he has always been obsessed with the Princess of Yu. How could he miss such an opportunity?
He immediately detained Princess Yu and forced her to have sex with him without any hesitation.
Although Princess Yu hated him to the core, she was unable to escape and threatened to commit suicide again and again.
But Liu Cheng obviously understood her character very well. Instead of letting her go, he became even more unscrupulous, because he was sure that she did not have the courage to die.
In the end, Princess Yu was tortured to death under Liu Cheng's abuse.
Liu Cheng, who had just taken the position of patriarch, never dreamed that the Liu family would be besieged by several other major families. In the end, all of the Liu family's property would be devoured in front of him, and Liu Cheng was also killed by his wife and children.
The Dingzhou Liu family, a century-old family, disappeared quietly like that.
When the news reached the capital, Emperor Qinglong was overjoyed.
"Now that the Liu family is gone, shouldn't we start mining the iron ore?"
That’s right, of the two mines hidden by Song Shaozhang, the iron mine was within the sphere of influence of the Liu family.
The Liu family was powerful and arrogant, and they were secretly connected with several enemy countries on the border. These things had naturally been reported to the emperor by his spies planted in the aristocratic families, but they had been kept silent for all these years for the sake of Prince Yu's face.
In addition, with Prince Yu's soft and hard persuasion and threats, Liu became more obedient.
Originally, Emperor Qinglong had not thought of doing anything to the Liu family, but when he was about to mine the iron ore, he discovered that it was within the Liu family's sphere of influence.
In this case, Liu had to be eliminated.
However, Emperor Qinglong did not expect that Song Yunxi had already secretly taken action against Liu a long time ago. In this way, their plans were coincidental, and he only needed to cooperate with all of Song Yunxi's actions.
Seeing Emperor Qinglong's eyes shining, Song Yunxi was both amused and confused: "Master, you are the emperor, okay?"
Why do you ask for her opinion in everything like a daughter-slave?
Emperor Qinglong: Isn't that nonsense? If I don't let you make the decision, what will happen if you call me "dog master" and don't treat me well?
Ye Xuanqi smiled and said, "Father, Yunxi came here today to tell you that the iron hard ore can be mined."
Emperor Qinglong was full of excitement. After mining this iron mine, there was really no need to worry about the weapons needed by the Jin'an Army.
After the iron ore mining was decided, Emperor Qinglong suddenly sighed for no reason with a sad face.
When Ye Xuanqi was about to ask what he was worried about, Song Yunxi took the lead and said, "Let me tell you, if the old queen mother wants to make trouble, I will not indulge her."
Emperor Qinglong: “…”
This has blocked what he wanted to say, what else can he say?
He said helplessly, "Although the Queen Mother is not my biological mother, she also helped me to be appointed as the Crown Prince and ascend to the throne. She has never made things difficult for me over the years. I don't know what's going on recently. She always gives me problems."
He just didn't understand. No matter whether it was Ye Ruyan or Ye Wenshan, they were all asking for trouble. Why couldn't she figure it out? Why did she always have to make things difficult for Song Yunxi?
Although he was grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness, if he had to choose between the Queen Mother and Song Yunxi, he would of course choose Song Yunxi.
"cut!"
Song Yunxi sneered, and when Emperor Qinglong was confused, she said, "Have you ever thought that even if there was no empress dowager, you would still be made the crown prince by the late emperor without any suspense, and you would have succeeded to the throne smoothly without any obstacles."
"What do you mean?"
It seems like something is about to burst out from my mind, but at the critical moment it is always shrouded by a layer of fog and my true face cannot be seen clearly.
Song Yunxi sighed angrily: "It means that you have been the first and only choice of the late emperor since birth."
Something exploded in Emperor Qinglong's mind.
[If the late emperor had not chosen him, why would he have sent him to Shengyun Mountain? Can anyone enter the world's number one holy sect? ]
[The beloved disciple of the head of Shengyun Mountain, who has the support of the entire Shengyun Mountain, who dares to oppose him being made the crown prince? How can a disciple of Shengyun Mountain not be made the crown prince? The late emperor had such good intentions, he would not have completely failed to understand! ]
The more Emperor Qinglong listened, the more guilty and self-blaming he felt. He felt even more sad when he thought about how he had complained about his father for so many years.
[The late emperor ignored him on the surface, but kept him away from harm, and his brothers were left in the capital to block all conspiracies and plots for him. If this is not love, then what is? ]
Perhaps it was true that those involved were the most confused. Song Yunxi's voice helped him clear up all the confusion, and he now recalled the kindness in the eyes of the late emperor when he looked at him.
