♥️Happy Valentine Day♥️
Reminder~~
I am still waiting for your Love Letter (ᗒᗨᗕ)
This man regarded his sons as worms, and the son who survived to the end was the best heir in his mind. From the beginning to the end, he never considered that the worms could also bite their master.
“Ugh—”
Emperor Qian’s eyes were cracked. He struggled and slapped wildly.
However, the effect of the medicine soon took effect, and a distorted expression of pain and excitement began to appear on his face, and the intensity of his struggle gradually decreased until he lost his last breath.
Li Chenghe stood in the palace quietly for a long time.
He reached out and closed Emperor Qian’s eyelids. Then he walked slowly outside the palace, looking at the soldiers and several brothers who were tied up and had no image at all.
“Emperor, your death—”
As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Everyone present knelt down and sobbed.
Yu Yan knelt down on one knee, feeling relieved that everything was over.
This night, the imperial city was brightly lit, and many people in the imperial city stayed up all night.
Ah Wu had made many calculations. She knew that her brother would definitely escape unscathed, but she still looked in the direction of the imperial city, sat there all night, and read Buddhist scriptures.
It wasn’t until dawn, when the sound of the death bell sounded from the imperial city, that Ah Wu felt completely relieved.
***
Emperor Qian passed away. The First Prince and others were imprisoned for patricide and rebellion. The Fifth Prince who was least favored suddenly emerged and became the successor emperor.
Some ministers expressed doubts about this, but at this moment, Emperor Qian’s favorite Third Princess stood up and proved that the late emperor had an oral instruction before his death to allow the Fifth Prince to succeed to the throne.
The Third Princess had never been involved in the matter of seizing the throne, so her testimony suppressed some of the doubts.
The Fifth Prince successfully ascended the throne.
To everyone’s expectation, the first thing the Fifth Prince did after ascending the throne was not to eliminate the disloyal parties, but to eliminate a medicinal material called opium poppy.
At the same time, he went around hunting down Taoist alchemists who were cheating people. Once anyone was found selling Xiaoyao Powder, Hongwan, and other drugs that claimed to prolong life and refresh the mind, they would all be punished with serious crimes.
People heard that the reason why the late emperor died suddenly was partly because of his disobedient anger toward the First Prince and others, and partly because of the poison caused by Xiaoyao Powder and other pills.
This was the first decree issued by the Fifth Prince after he ascended the throne. It was implemented particularly thoroughly.
For a long time, there was not a single poppy plant to be seen in the entire Li Dynasty.
As the greatest contributor to the Fifth Prince’s ascension to the throne, Yu Yan did not receive praise because of his special status. Instead, he unexpectedly appeared outside the city.
Yu Yan was dressed like an ordinary wealthy businessman, sitting in a carriage and looking out the window at the city gate in the distance that was getting smaller and smaller in his eyes.
His eyes felt a little sour, but he held back his reluctance and lowered the curtains.
Leaving was a decision he made a long time ago.
He and the Fifth Prince were allies who respected each other, but they could also become enemies who feared each other.
Yu Yan chose to leave at this time so that the Fifth Prince could let down all his guard against him and leave with the huge wealth accumulated over the years and a group of subordinates who were still willing to be loyal to him.
Spending the rest of his life away from the court did not necessarily mean he could be free and unrestrained.
He wanted to go to a place where no one knew him and traveled all over the great rivers and mountains.
No one he met in the rest of his life would know about his physical disability or his miserable past.
Such a life might not be as exciting as being at the pinnacle of power, but it could help one regain dignity.
And, most importantly, when he was far away, his sister could let go of her immature ideas.
His Xiao Wu is a phoenix soaring in the sky, and he cannot break her wings because of his own selfishness.
For Yu Yan, losing the latter was far more painful than losing the former, but he forced himself to accept it.
“Master, there is a carriage blocking our way ahead.”
This was what Yu Yan had ordered before leaving the palace. After leaving the palace, he would be just a master. The former deputy eunuch had died in the palace coup.
“Go around.”
Yu Yan ordered in a low voice.
Just as the carriage was going around, Yu Yan’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He couldn’t help but lift the curtain of the carriage.
“This time, don’t even think about abandoning me!”
A gorgeous and dazzling girl jumped out of the carriage on the side. She looked at Yu Yan with her hands on her hips and said coquettishly and domineeringly.
Yu Yan felt like he was dreaming, a dream from which he hoped he would never wake up.
