Chapter 274

The days that followed were peaceful and stable.

There were no more letters coming from the capital, but with Ji Chengfeng around, Xie Wan Ning was able to learn about the changes in the court situation fairly quickly.

As expected, the final counterattack by the eldest prince and the second prince did not cause any trouble.

At the beginning of the second year in spring, the old emperor issued an edict to imprison his two princes.

Ever since he vomited blood and fainted in the court last year, the old emperor's health has been getting weaker and weaker. After receiving this imperial edict, he couldn't even get off the bed.

After several days of suspension of court, it was officially announced that the throne would be passed to the crown prince.

Lu Ziyan has been regulating the country since last year and has long held the imperial power.

This imperial decree to pass on the throne came as no surprise to all civil and military officials, and even to the people of the world.

While Xie Wan Ning was pleasantly surprised that his son's teeth had started to grow, his biological father officially ascended the throne in Kyoto, thousands of miles away.

Hearing the news, she teased her chubby son in her arms and said to Ji Chengfeng with a smile, "Look, isn't everything back on track?"

The fight for the throne ended smoothly. Although Lu Ziyan was arrogant and unruly, in such a chaotic world with countless treacherous ministers and villains, only a killing god like him could keep them under control. Any gentle and benevolent monarch who came to power would be devoured without leaving even a bone.

Pei Yuqing was fine, and they were all alive and well.

And the Khan also went from being on the decline to becoming increasingly prosperous.

Sure enough, her decision that day was right.

Next, just wait for time to erode the past.

Waiting for him to become a true emperor.

He will have a harem of three thousand concubines, many offspring, and will be able to drive out foreign invaders and quell internal strife.

He will become a ruler who will be recorded in history books as a great revivalist and will bring the Khanate back to a prosperous era with peace and prosperity.

Sung through the ages.

Xie Wan Ning thought so.

Soon, the routine cleaning after the new emperor ascended the throne began.

Lu Ziyan was not magnanimous and kind to those ministers who stood on the wrong side in the struggle for the throne. In his eyes, the two princes and the gold thieves who kidnapped his Wanwan might have been the scheme of these people.

With thunderous means, some were demoted, and some were killed.

The two culprits, the two princes who had been imprisoned, were demoted to commoners.

He specially fenced off a piece of land in the royal hunting ground and built a long alley, and locked up the two princes, their offspring, and the women in the harem.

Without an imperial edict, he will never be allowed to leave.

The eldest prince's wife, Yu, who had been sent to the camp to entertain the troops, was pardoned this time and returned to her husband.

There is also the Empress Shufei, who was once the most favored concubine in the harem. She had long been deposed, so naturally she had to follow her son this time.

And the second prince's side.

Not to mention his principal wife, let’s just talk about the concubine who entered last year, who is Lu Xiyao, the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

It was a marriage granted by imperial decree during the reign of the old emperor.

At that time, some court officials speculated that perhaps this was a way for the emperor to leave a way out for his son.

After all, it is an undeniable fact that Lu Ziyan grew up in the Lu family and was raised by the Lu family.

Lu Xiyao was his biological younger sister. With her in the Second Prince's mansion, the Second Prince would not be too miserable in the future.

Only Xie Wan Ning knew.

Perhaps, this imperial decree granting marriage was issued by Lu Ziyan himself.

He just wanted to pair Lu Xiyao with the eldest prince or the second prince.

We'll clean it up together then.

She always wanted to know how Lu Xiyao ended in her previous life.

Now that I think about it, it was probably like this in my previous life.

No one knows what kind of life these people lead in that cold alley where no one can get out.
