Chapter 232 Red Mansion Lady Xing 52

Jia Ying slowly walked out of the magnificent and majestic palace gate of the retired emperor.

At this moment, the old eunuch who had been waiting for a long time came to meet him. He walked unsteadily, but his eyes were full of concern. He looked at the young master in front of him with heartache, gently stretched out his hand, and carefully put a white fox cloak as white as snow on Jia Ying.

Speaking of this old eunuch, he has a great background. Back then, he was the most capable eunuch beside the Crown Prince, and was deeply trusted and respected by the Crown Prince. However, things never go as planned, and the Crown Prince unfortunately passed away at a young age, leaving the old eunuch without a support. Despite this, he relied on the connections he had accumulated in the palace over the years and finally managed to get a small job as a steward in the cold palace.

Now, seeing Jia Ying, the son of his master whom he once served, the old eunuch couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

Jia Ying stood on the wide palace road, his eyes slowly sweeping across the magnificent and majestic inner courtyard of the imperial palace before him.

He pondered in his heart for a long time, and finally made up his mind to go to Rongguo Mansion secretly to visit his mother whom he had not seen for many days.

Xing Yuling, who lived in the main house of Rongguo Mansion, seemed to have anticipated her son's arrival, and prepared a lot of his favorite meals, snacks and tea.

Under the cover of night, Jia Ying came to Jia She's study through the secret passage.

Jia She stood up from his desk without any surprise, patted his son on the shoulder, pulled Jia Ying aside and asked, "Are you having any troubles in the palace?"

Jia Ying looked at the father in front of him and felt happy that his attitude towards him had never changed.

"I have his subordinates around me, as well as the former chief eunuch of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace."

"Things have come to this. You need to ascend the throne as soon as possible in the next few days. You will be able to accomplish what the crown prince has failed to do." Jia She's face was solemn. He stroked his short beard and nodded slowly.

"All the ministers who previously supported His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have already been contacted, and we also have the help of Ministers Wen Jue and Yang Jie." Jia Ying was confident that everything was under his control.

Jia Ying said, "Now, even the four kings and eight dukes have sent me a message that they want to join me!"

He continued with a serious look, "However, in my opinion, although these people can be useful at the moment, they are ultimately just a stopgap measure. Their minds are complicated and unpredictable, and their interests are intertwined. It is impossible for them to be fully used by me."

Jia She sighed softly.

"Your mother has been waiting for you for a long time, let's go"

The two stopped talking and went to see Xing Yuling together.

Jia Ying followed Jia She into the house. Xing Yuling's eyes instantly turned red when she saw her son. "Mother, I am unfilial and made you worry." Jia Ying hurried forward to pay his respects. Xing Yuling took his hand and looked him up and down, "I'm glad you're okay."

The table was filled with delicious food. Jia Ying ate the familiar food while listening to his mother's chatter, feeling warm in his heart. Jia She drank quietly on the side, occasionally saying a few words.

After the meal, Lixia served a pot of Biluochun tea, filled the teacup, and quietly retreated to the door to stand guard.

"Mother, I will have someone take you to the palace in a few days."

When Xing Yuling heard what her son said, she glanced at Jia She's nervous expression.

"Ying'er, I can't enter the palace"

Jia Ying heard his mother's refusal and said, "I want you to be the empress dowager legitimately."

"I am the wife of a third-rank general in the Rongguo Mansion, and you cannot have a mother with a bad reputation."

Xing Yuling said silently, "You were born by accident with your biological father. He and I are not meant to be together. I cannot let people gossip about you. Besides, you want to ascend to the throne, and your reputation is important."

Jia Ying held Xing Yuling's hand tightly and said earnestly: "Mother, I don't care about those gossips. I just hope that you can enjoy wealth and honor and be respected by the world." Xing Yuling patted his hand gently and looked at him lovingly: "Ying'er, mother knows your filial piety, but mother cares more about your future. If you are affected because of me, mother will never forgive me even if she dies."

Jia She put down his wine glass and said slowly, "Madam is right. This is a critical moment for Ying'er. We must not ruin things because of a momentary impulse." Jia Ying frowned, and was very conflicted. He knew that what his mother and Jia She said was reasonable, but when he thought of his mother's years of hard work, how could he bear to let his mother continue to live like this.

Suddenly, Jia Ying's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Mother, I have an idea. I will announce to the public that you are my adoptive mother. In this way, my reputation will not be damaged, and you can also enter the palace to spend your old age in peace."

In response to Jia Ying's insistence, Xing Yuling had no choice but to agree.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

After the emperor and clan members tested the prince's paternity, they recorded his name in the family tree and changed his name to Shui Hong.

In the magnificent and solemn court, the ministers stood on both sides, and more than half of them stood firmly on Wen Jue's side, fully supporting Jia Ying's ascension to the throne. These ministers looked at the new emperor with eager eyes and full of expectation, as if they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

At the same time, the power of the previous emperor suffered a severe blow. Those officials who once held great power in the court were demoted one after another, and some were even transferred out of the capital to serve in remote areas. This series of measures rapidly weakened the influence of the previous dynasty and cleared the way for the new emperor's rule.

At this moment, the retired emperor unexpectedly showed up at the coronation ceremony. He was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe. Although he was old, he was still vigorous and powerful. The retired emperor walked steadily onto the stage and personally put on the crown symbolizing the supreme power of the emperor for Jia Ying. At this moment, the whole audience was silent, and everyone held their breath to witness this historic moment.

As the emperor placed the crown firmly on Jia Ying's head, the entire court erupted in thunderous cheers. This cheer was both a celebration of the new emperor's accession to the throne and a confirmation of his legitimacy. From this moment on, Jia Ying became the true ruler of this vast land, shouldering the heavy responsibility of governing the country and benefiting the people. The emperor's personal crowning undoubtedly showed the world that Jia Ying's succession to the throne was legitimate, and no one could question his legitimacy and authority.

At the moment when Shui Hong ascended the throne, Fairy Jinghuan from the Taixu Illusion Realm spat out a mouthful of blood while practicing with her eyes closed. Her whole body shrank and her elegant face became old.

"Who is it? Who ruined my good thing?"

Fairy Jinghuan roared angrily.

Fairy Jinghuan moved lightly with lotus steps and came to the place where the 12 golden hairpins were placed.

Fairy Jinghuan stared at Ming Pu with a trace of pain in her eyes.

"It's a mess, everything is a mess"

The fate of these 12 golden hairpins has changed dramatically! As for Lin Daiyu, her parents died when she was young, which made people feel very sorry for her. Fortunately, her father Lin Ruhai's mentor helped her and betrothed her to the grandson of his second son.

When Lin Ruhai was alive, he loved his daughter very much and prepared a generous dowry early on. In addition to the huge family property accumulated by the Lin family for generations, after Lin Daiyu married, she had no worries about food and clothing, and enjoyed endless wealth and glory. She and her husband were also in love with each other, and the couple respected each other like guests, treated each other as equals, and lived a happy and fulfilling life. It really fulfilled the saying "after suffering comes happiness", which makes people sigh that things in the world are impermanent, but there is always a chance for a turnaround.

The Wen family was also a kind-hearted family. Her husband decided to adopt her second son under the name of Lin Ruhai as his grandson, so that there would be someone to worship him in the future.
