Chapter 98: The Proud Little Princess and the Iron-blooded General (33)

Yan Xue smiled brightly and said, "That's good, Father, let's leave here first. The rebels outside may rush in at any time."

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Yan Xue and Desheng helped Yan Lie to stand up. Yan Lie raised his hand and pressed the switch next to the dragon bed, and a secret room opened.

Yan Xue and Desheng looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Three people walked into the secret room. Yan Xue looked around. It was a small room with a bed, a table, and two stools. The rest was empty.

However, the brocade box on the table still attracted Yan Xue's attention. She felt that the jade seal must be inside.

Yan Xue winked at De Sheng, who nodded. Yan Xue said to Yan Lie, "Father, I'll go find something to eat. You can rest here first."

Yan Lie nodded, and Yan Xue walked out. After a while, she brought the food prepared in the space to Yan Lie.

"Father, I will go check the situation outside. You stay here and don't come out unless I call you."

Yan Lie leaned on the bed, nodded weakly, drank a sip of tea, and fainted after a while.

Yan Xue quietly walked towards Desheng and asked, "Where is my mother? Why is she nowhere to be seen?"

"The Empress and the wives of officials are hiding in the secret room of Kunning Palace. Princess, don't worry. The Empress has prepared everything in advance. There is enough food and drink there."

Yan Xue nodded and said, that’s good.

Yan Xue gently closed the door of the secret room. Suddenly, more than a dozen figures appeared in front of her. She was startled and quickly dodged and hid.

She looked carefully and found that the person coming was Captain Xu, so she stepped out of her hiding place.

When Captain Xu saw that it was the princess, he was delighted. They had searched many places and finally found her.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Yan Xue shook her head slightly, indicating that she was safe and sound, and asked curiously: "How did you get here?"

Captain Xu replied respectfully, "General Dong was worried about you, so he asked me to bring a dozen of you in to check on you. I'm glad to see that you're okay."

However, at this moment, a shocking cry of killing came from afar. Everyone was shocked and looked outside the door.

It turned out that Dong Linpei had already led an army of 10,000 elite soldiers to break through the palace gate and poured into the palace like a tide.

Yan Xue's heart tightened, and she calmly observed the movements around her, while Captain Xu and others quickly drew their swords and prepared for battle.

"Princess, let's go out and take a look. You hide first." Captain Xu said as he rushed out with a dozen men.

At this moment, I suddenly saw three people lying in the corner, "Princess, who is this?"

"Shi Fang."

Captain Xu opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg. He looked at the person lying on the ground, then looked at the princess, and the expression on his face changed.

Then he drew his sword, walked forward and cut off Shi Fang's head with one stroke. After saying goodbye to the princess, he walked away laughing and carrying Shi Fang's head.

The shouts and cries of killing outside the palace gate echoed all day and all night long. The 200,000 strong army led by Shi Fang experienced an extremely brutal battle and suffered heavy casualties!

Fully 30% of the soldiers died in the battle, and the remaining survivors all became prisoners of Dong Linpei.

Shi Fang's head was hung at the gate of the city wall of the capital, and several generals of Dongyi were not spared either, and their heads were hung in a whole row.

Three days later, Yan Lie was lying on the dragon bed, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that his body was no longer viable.

Fortunately, Dasheng was preserved and the foundation left by his ancestors was not destroyed in his hands.

He looked at the ministers and concubines kneeling below and sighed. All his sons and daughters were dead, and now only the Sixth Princess was left.

What should he do with the throne? He would never give it up. At this time, Yan Xue came in holding her four-year-old son.

Yan Lie's eyes flashed with shock. He coughed weakly twice and let Desheng help him sit up slowly. "Xiao Liu, whose child is this?"

"Father, this is your grandson, my eldest son Yan Che."

"You have a kid?"

"Yeah, he's almost four years old, and he calls me grandpa."

Yan Che looked at the old man in front of him and called out in a baby voice, "Grandfather!"

Yan Lie smiled weakly, "Okay, okay, our Yan family finally has a successor. Desheng, quickly draft an imperial decree to make Yan Che the crown prince."

The concubines kneeling below were dissatisfied. Although there were indeed no sons left, there were still some grandsons left. Why was he directly named the Crown Prince?

Someone raised his head, but after seeing the queen's cold gaze, he knelt down again in dejection.

The ministers kneeling below did not object. If it were not for the Sixth Princess today, it would be uncertain whether Dasheng could be preserved. Besides, General Dong was guarding outside.

Everyone kowtowed in unison, "Greetings to the Crown Prince."

Yan Chebie is barely four years old, but he has been educated by the Master for two years, and he often appears in front of his father and mother. It’s just a small scene with just a few dozen people.

He looked at the people below with a serious face and said, "No need to be polite."

When the ministers heard this, they all looked up at the sitting figure, and suddenly felt that he was somewhat similar to the emperor.

A month later, Yan Lie passed away, more than a year earlier than in his previous life. Yan Xue thought it was probably caused by her own butterfly effect.

Yan Xue held a simple funeral for Yan Lie on the grounds that the war had just ended and there was a lot of work to be done.

Li Wan'er has stayed indoors since Yan Lie's death. She set up a Buddhist temple in Kunning Palace and ate vegetarian food, chanted Buddhist scriptures every day.

Yan Xue went there several times, but was turned away each time.

Because Yan Che was too young, Princess Jiahe ruled the country from behind the scenes, and Dong Linpei was the regent.

No one had any objection, since they were a big family after all.

Tutor Li resigned from his official position on the grounds of old age, and Yan Xue approved it, thinking that her grandfather really needed to have a good rest.

The first thing Yan Xue did after taking office was to develop agriculture.

She distributed the crop encyclopedia she had copied long ago to various counties, and promoted the high-quality sweet potato and corn seedlings she had saved to all parts of the country.

And they produced simple fertilizers to increase the yield per mu of land.

Then, she opened a special examination for all. After all, so many people fled during the war. Although some of them came back later, Yan Xue rejected them all.

It was just the right time to clean up this dirty and corrupt court. Although some people disagreed behind the scenes, Dong Linpei stood there like a demon.

No one dared to get angry, especially since half of the people in the court were disciples of Li Taifu, and Yan Xue basically had the final say in the entire court.
