The Destiny of Going to Hell

When Molan returned to Bianjing City, the first place she went to was the Lin Mansion.

Lin Qinshuang was eagerly waiting in the mansion, with the worry and longing in her heart entangled like vines.

The moment she saw Molan, the tears in her eyes suddenly rolled down like a dam bursting.

"Mo'er, you're back. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."

Lin Qinshuang murmured.

No matter how people outside flattered her daughter, how they praised Molan as extremely powerful, how they spread the word that she was a hero who took back her homeland and a brave and warlike princess.

In Lin Qinshuang's heart, Molan will always be just her well-behaved, little daughter.

She couldn't imagine how much suffering and pain her daughter had endured out there.

Lin Qinshuang held Molan tightly in her arms with trembling hands, as if her daughter would disappear again if she let go.

Her tears fell like beads from a broken string, soon soaking Molan's shoulders.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, with only the warmth of the mother and daughter hugging each other tightly.

Lin Qinshuang gently stroked Molan's hair, her heart full of pity.

Molan felt the warmth from her mother, and all the tiredness and strength in her heart turned into softness at this moment.

No matter how turbulent the outside world is, Lin Qinshuang will always be her warmest harbor.

Zhao Yunchuan was eagerly waiting in the palace, hoping for Molan's return. However, he waited and waited but never saw Molan.

After much thought, he concluded that Molan must have gone to her mother-in-law's place.

So, at the important moment when merits should have been rewarded, neither the Crown Prince nor the Crown Princess who had made great contributions were present.

At this time, the two of them were sitting together with Lin Qinshuang, enjoying the steaming pot.

Lin Qinshuang sometimes looked at Molan on the left, and sometimes looked at Zhao Yunchuan on the right, and felt very satisfied in her heart.

Zhao Yunchuan's hands kept putting food into Molan's bowl, while he also did not forget to take care of Lin Qinshuang from time to time.

After accompanying Lin Qinshuang to finish her meal, the two of them slowly got up and returned to the palace.

At the banquet, everyone was toasting each other and the atmosphere was very lively.

Zhao Yunchuan quietly stretched out his fingers and gently hooked Molan's hand under the table.

Molan raised her head slightly and saw Zhao Yunchuan just smiling slightly. His peach blossom eyes were so bright that they seemed to contain thousands of stars, which made people feel excited.

Not long after, heavy rain poured down in Mozhou, and soon drizzle also fell in Yingzhou.

After many days of rain, the rain did not stop for several months, causing severe flooding and the people suffered terribly.

And those spineless people in the Song Dynasty seemed to have instantly found a reason to criticize Molan, and they all made suggestions in the court.

"I'm afraid it's a punishment from heaven. It's unreasonable for a woman to lead troops into battle."

"The Crown Princess has lost the support of the people."

"We should return it to Yingzhou and Mozhou to appease the resentment from the heavens."

Faced with the overwhelming rumors in the court, Zhao Yunchuan cursed in his heart: Let your mother’s dog fart!

Molan is his wife. If she loses popularity, doesn’t that mean he also loses popularity?

What they are saying about returning Mozhou Yingzhou is simply ridiculous.

I think anyone who says this is a traitor. I will pack you up and send you to Liao and Jin overnight.

Zhao Yunchuan is actually a bit of a dog at heart. He thought so and actually did it.

He ordered his men to secretly knock out the two ministers who made the most trouble at night and throw them directly to the border between Song and Liao.

When the two ministers woke up, they found themselves at the border. They were so scared that they wished they could grow eight pairs of legs and run back.

The others in the court were suppressed by Zhao Yunchuan with iron-blooded means.

"Anyone who disrupts the imperial court and deceives the people to slander the Crown Princess will be executed!"

With a few orders, the heads of several stubborn people were chopped off.

The two people who boycotted the most fiercely are still struggling to survive at the border. In this case, who would dare to make trouble?

Under Zhao Yunchuan's strong suppression, the entire court finally returned to its former tranquility.

However, Zhao Zhen's health was deteriorating day by day.

He took this opportunity to pass the throne to Zhao Yunchuan and established a new country called Zhi'an.

Afterwards, the new emperor Zhao Yunchuan and Queen Molan went to Mozhou to pray for rain.

I don’t know whether it was because of Zhao Yunchuan’s cursing at the sky, or if there were some other reasons, but in any case, the rain really started to fall.

After that, Molan and Zhao Yunchuan were still more apart than together.

After recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Molan had a brief moment of intimacy with Zhao Yunchuan, but soon rushed to the battlefield again.

In the sixth year of the Zhi'an reign, Empress Molan led the army in person to attack the Jin army. The Jin army was defeated and the Jin Dynasty was destroyed.

In the same year, the Liao Kingdom feared the power of the Song Dynasty and offered to surrender, wanting to become a vassal state, but Queen Molan flatly refused.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty fought bravely and defeated the Liao army until they were convinced.

During the eight years of peace, the Song cavalry was unstoppable and destroyed Western Xia, Goryeo, and Annan.

After nine years of peace, Tubo, Uighur and Dali all surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

During the ten years of peace and order, Champa, Java, Cambodia, Srivijaya and other countries also became vassal states of the Song Dynasty and maintained tributary trade relations with the Song Dynasty.

The situation has developed to this point, and it can already be said that "the world is unified."

The whole world belonged to the Song Dynasty, peace reigned, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, ushering in a new and glorious era.

As the queen, Molan personally led the army into battle and ultimately achieved the great feat of unifying the world.

After Molan returned to the court, Zhao Yunchuan resolutely retreated behind the scenes, and Molan took the stage to start her political career.

Molan knew that women's abilities should not be buried, so she vigorously promoted reforms and opened up broad opportunities for women in government.

In terms of the imperial examination, Molan broke tradition and allowed women to take the imperial examination.

For a time, many talented women devoted themselves to the ocean of books and worked hard to realize their ambitions.

They competed with men and made their mark in the imperial examinations with their outstanding wisdom and talent.

Some women passed the imperial examinations and entered officialdom, contributing their efforts to the governance of the country.

This group of talented and virtuous female officials provided new ideas for national decision-making in the court with their unique perspectives and delicate thinking.

Some of them showed extraordinary wisdom in diplomatic affairs, winning more allies and respect for the Song Dynasty.

Some play an important role in people's livelihood governance, care about the suffering of the people, and promote the implementation of various people-friendly policies.

Thanks to Molan and the women's own efforts, women in the Song Dynasty were no longer confined to the boudoir, but bravely stepped out of their homes to pursue their dreams and values.

They shined in various fields and contributed to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

Twelve years after the peace, Molan gave birth to a princess, Zhao Ruining.

"Rui" stands for wisdom and intelligence, and has the meaning of governing the world with a far-sighted vision; "Ning" means peace and stability, implying that the country will enjoy long-term stability under wise governance.

This is enough to represent the intentions of the emperor and empress.

Sure enough, when the princess was one month old, Zhao Yunchuan directly appointed the princess as the crown prince, and firmly stated that he had taken sterilization drugs and would not have any more children, thus shutting up the gossips.

Molan had been fighting outside for many years and had suffered from many hidden diseases.

She held on despite her illness and waited until Rui Ning had firmly grasped the power in the court. Only then did she close her eyes in peace and pass away.

Zhao Yunchuan hugged Molan tightly, but the once warm body in his arms gradually became cold.

The chill was so deep that he couldn't help shivering.

Zhao Yunchuan was guarding Molan's bed, with a question in his mind that he had not yet had time to ask.

Madam, have you ever loved your husband?

……

Zhao Yunchuan had not stepped out of the palace for a whole day and a night. Rui Ning was worried about Zhao Yunchuan's health, so he walked into the palace.

When she saw the two people hugging each other tightly on the bed, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Father, please accept my condolences. Mother would not want to see you like this."

She gently tugged at Zhao Yunchuan, trying to pull him away, but her touch was icy cold.

She asked in disbelief, "Father?"

After thirty years of peace, the emperor and empress died on the same day and were finally buried in a single coffin.
