The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, a storm suddenly arose in the court.

On the first day of the opening of the seal, the emperor issued two edicts in succession, which were like huge rocks thrown into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

The first decree praised Prince Ning Wu Tianxiao:

"Prince Ning is a brave and gentle man, a filial and brotherly man, and has made great contributions to the country. He is truly a role model for the royal family and a role model for the world. I am very pleased now, so I have appointed him as the crown prince and moved him to the East Palace. I hope he will be diligent and live up to my expectations, so that the world can be at peace. I decree this."

The second decree denounced the fourth prince Wu Tianqi:

"The fourth prince Wu Tianqi is dissolute and immoral, disregarding human ethics and even framing his brothers. His heart is worthy of death and his actions are abominable. Thinking of the relationship between father and son, I cannot bear to impose the death penalty on him. I have demoted him to a commoner and confined him to a tomb to reflect on his mistakes. The fourth imperial concubine Lin Jiaoyue will follow his actions. The servants in the original palace who were close to him will all be beaten to death, and the rest will be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to rectify the rules. I decree this."

As soon as the decree was issued, the whole court was in an uproar.

A new round of power transition has begun.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, at the grand court meeting, the emperor looked haggard and his eyes were dim.

The eunuch Yao who had been serving him was nowhere to be found. Another young eunuch stood beside the emperor and issued a new imperial decree:

"I am old and can no longer support state affairs. The Crown Prince is brave and virtuous, and is the ideal of the people. I have decided to pass the throne to the Crown Prince, hoping that he will carry on my will and ensure that the Great Zhou Dynasty will be forever stable and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. I decree this."

……

At this point, the world is settled, the new emperor ascends the throne, and everything is new.

Due to the complicated affairs surrounding the new emperor's coronation ceremony, Xu Rongrong hadn't seen Mu Rong for several days.

One day, while she was in a daze, she was gently embraced by a warm body.

"You're back." Her voice was soft, sweet, and sleepy.

Mu Rong lowered his head and kissed her: "Did I wake you up?"

He smelled like someone who had just showered, clean and cool.

The kiss seemed even more passionate and hot, instantly igniting the ambiguity in the air.

Xu Rongrong's breathing soon became uneven. She raised her neck in impatience and wanted to push him away, but in the end she couldn't bear to let him down, so her body gradually softened.

But Mu Rong did not continue to tease her. After kissing her gently all over her body, he held her in his arms and said, "I heard that Rongrong has been very busy these days."

"Mr. Shu went to Luoxi, so all the trivial matters in the clinic fell on me." She panted slightly, "The caravan went west, and Luo Chen was busy, so I went to look after the porcelain shop for two days."

"Plus, spring is coming soon. In order to prevent the weak from contracting the late spring cold, I have developed some easy-to-take pills. Since Mr. Shu is not here, I have put a lot of effort into it."

"..."

Xu Rongrong kept talking, and Mu Rong kissed the corner of her eyes helplessly and lovingly: "Madam is so busy, she is almost as busy as me, the Duke."

"The country..." Xu Rongrong was shocked, "Your Majesty has issued an order right now?"

Mu Rong smiled and nodded: "Madam, you have also been canonized as a super first-class imperial decree. The imperial edict will be sent to your residence tomorrow."

Xu Rongrong smiled slyly and said, "Doesn't that mean I'm on the same level as my husband?"

Mu Rong smiled and said, "Yes... Not only that, His Majesty also rewarded Rongrong with four imperial farms and a thousand acres of fertile land... From now on, I will have to rely on you for support."

After saying that, he leaned over and whispered in Xu Rongrong's ear: "Madam, please have more mercy..."

Xu Rongrong's cheeks turned slightly red and she turned her head away uncomfortably.

Thinking of the decree from the previous few days, he hurriedly asked, "Where exactly is the tomb where Wu Tianqi is imprisoned?"

Mu Rong propped himself up with one hand, leaning against Xu Rongrong, playing with her hair with the other hand: "It was used by the royal family to imprison the princes who committed serious crimes. It was called the Tomb House because it looked like a tomb, with no windows on all sides. It was freezing cold in winter and scorching hot in summer, and the environment was extremely bad. And there were no servants allowed in the house, so they had to do all the eating, living, cleaning and labor themselves."

"There is such a place." Xu Rongrong thought for a long time, "Why have I never heard of it?"

Mu Rong explained, "The tomb has not been used for two dynasties, so you have never heard anyone mention it. After all, the princes are the flesh and blood of the emperor. Unless they have committed unforgivable crimes, how could the emperor have the heart to throw them to such a place to fend for themselves? When the second prince was demoted to a commoner, the emperor only expelled him from the capital, but did not lock him up."

Xu Rongrong nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes: "This is good! Wu Tianqi and Lin Jiaoyue are both arrogant and proud. Now they are locked up in the tomb. I'm afraid it's more painful than death."

Mu Rong laughed and said, "How can this little pain make up for the crimes they committed? I will order people to torture them every day, so that they will truly feel that life is worse than death."

Hearing this, Xu Rongrong looked at Mu Rong curiously and said, "That day, Lin Jiaoyue came to ask for help with injuries all over her body. How did you see through her tricks?"

“The scars on her arms look scary, but… a truly injured person would have their flesh and skin exposed. She is not faking it,” Mu Rong replied.

There was one more thing he didn't intend to let Xu Rongrong know:

In his previous life, when he was framed in the palace, Lin Jiaoyue led him along that path.

Now that she knew the other party's fate, Xu Rongrong stopped dwelling on it. She remembered something: "Now that the matter is settled, what should Princess Lingxi do?"

"Chu He will send her back to Northern Frontier," he said. "Although the Emperor's life is safe, his residence in the palace is not much better than a tomb. Chu He will tell the King of Northern Frontier how Lingxi has been trying to sow discord between the deposed Crown Prince and his wife, how she has shaken the foundation of the Great Zhou, and how she has ended up like this. If the King of Northern Frontier insists on going to war with the Great Zhou, then let him come!"

I've experienced this in my previous life, so why should I be afraid?

"If Chu He is here to see her off, I'm sure this won't be difficult." Xu Rongrong had full faith in Chu He's ability, "But... Miss Wei has come all the way here for him, and I'm afraid she'll be in vain again this time."

Everyone now knows what Wei feels for Chu He, but Chu He's attitude is... mysterious.

"No, I would suggest Your Majesty to let Wei accompany him." Now Mu Rong wished that Wei could tightly entangle Chuhe!

Even though Rongrong was already his wife and they were already husband and wife, he still felt that Chu He was quite threatening.

He hugged Xu Rongrong tightly, with a hint of dominance in his tone: "You are not allowed to think about other men."

Xu Rongrong was both angry and amused.

"How could I miss him? I just envy him for being the commander of the imperial guards, yet still being able to move around freely. He is much freer than you and me."

Mu Rong's eyes were deep: "How do you know we can't?"

In his previous life, his Rongrong had been trapped in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion. In this life, he had too much time to spend with her.

Today, the neighborhood is at peace.

Southern Xinjiang, the greatest threat in the past, has now become the most loyal ally of the Great Zhou.

After things in the capital are done, it would not be a bad idea for him and Rongrong to go to a farm in the south of the Yangtze River to stay for a while.

Thinking of the long years to come, he couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her lips again.

This time, in the midst of the enthusiasm and passion, there was an added touch of springtime vigor and tenderness, like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
