Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

The carriage stopped and started, and it took about thirty days to travel only two-thirds of the distance.

The closer we get to the border, the less optimistic the situation becomes.

Once again, they saw a large number of people migrating to Yunsheng with their families. Ruoying followed the instructions and went forward to ask the reasons several times.

The refugees said that in addition to being affected by the previous disaster and lacking food, they were also afraid of being affected by the war between the two countries. The results of their hard work in recultivating the land would be turned to ashes again, so it would be better to choose a place to restart as soon as possible.

Not wanting to see more refugees, Su Yunxuan ordered Ruoying to go to less populated areas as possible, even if it would take a detour and take longer.

The closer they got to the border, the less often Empress Su Yunxuan showed up, and Ruoying and the others became more and more depressed.

On the thirty-fifth day, the group, who were extremely depressed, finally received good news from Pei Qianluo: the epidemic in Yunsheng has been completely under control.

The officials sent to various places also successfully completed their tasks and returned to the capital one after another.

Although there is still a shortage of food in Yunsheng as a whole, I believe that with a year or so of recuperation, Yunsheng will be able to restore its former national strength.

After seeing these contents, Su Yunxuan's brows, which had been furrowed for many days, finally relaxed a little. However, when her eyes glanced at the content at the end of the letter, her brows, which had just relaxed a little, immediately frowned even more tightly.

At the end of the letter, Pei Qianluo told Su Yunxuan that not long after Su Yunxuan left, Prince Xu returned to the capital of Yunsheng early.

Pei Qianluo followed Su Yunxuan's instructions and informed Prince Xu that Su Changfeng would not live long and that the empress had already taken her people to the border.

After hearing her words, Prince Xu seemed to not believe her. He ordered people to go to the Taifu Mansion to bring the white letter into the palace, and then he looked through several letters from the border.

Bai Shu rushed into the palace. It was unknown what the two had said. After that, Prince Xu did not follow Pei Qianluo's order to take charge of government affairs, and led Bai Shu out of Yunsheng Capital overnight...

After putting away the letter, Su Yunxuan ordered Ruoying to speed up and not to take a road with few people.

On the forty-second day after leaving Yunsheng capital, the carriage arrived at Xihe.

Prince Xu finally caught up with Su Yunxuan.

The two men exchanged greetings and skipped the pleasantries. King Xu directly stated the purpose of his visit.

Taking a big step back, Prince Xu lifted his robe with a serious expression, suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Su Yunxuan, bowed his hands and apologized for his son: "I am a bad parent. Zhi Mu Xiao couldn't see the situation clearly and blindly sent troops to Feng Lan, putting Yunsheng in trouble. I feel ashamed of the empress and the people of Yunsheng..."

After being supported by Su Yunxuan, Prince Xu's face became more and more solemn. Not wanting to waste time in a stalemate, Prince Xu simply stood up and continued: "It is the fault of the father for not educating his child. I am willing to take the responsibility for Mu Xiao.

If Yun Sheng can overcome the difficulties once again, I beg the Empress to forgive Mu Xiao's death sentence, and any other punishments are at your discretion.

I am old now, and I beg the Empress to agree to Bai Shu's suggestion to use the life-extending technique learned from Yun Lianzi on Chang Feng."

After saying this in one breath, King Xu stared at Su Yunxuan, who was standing there in silence, with pleading eyes.

Su Yunxuan looked at him calmly, and after a long while she spoke with a slightly tired look, "I promised you to save Uncle Mu Xiao's life, but the life-extending technique will not work on Brother Changfeng."

"How do you know it's useless if you don't try?" King Xu took a step forward excitedly.

Turning around, Su Yunxuan looked up at the sky.

Prince Xu looked anxious, and then turned around and said hoarsely: "Yunxuan, it was Grandfather who was wrong in the past... As a brother, as a minister, as a father, as a grandfather... I am guilty. If I can exchange my guilty body for the life of my grandson Changfeng, I will die without regrets.

Please help me."

The last four words "please help me" were uttered with an obvious tremor, which made Su Yunxuan feel more and more uncomfortable.

Su Yunxuan closed her eyes and tried her best to calm down. She still looked towards the sky and asked, "Grandfather, do you believe in God?"

King Xu did not expect Su Yunxuan to ask this question at this time. After being slightly stunned, he also looked up at the sky.

After thinking it over carefully, King Xu sighed and replied, "I didn't believe it when I was young. At that time, I was young and full of vigor, and I thought that man could conquer nature, and I had no fear of the gods... As I grew older and gained more experience, I gradually came to believe that there are gods above my head.

This person, you can never be without faith...

Once people lack faith, they will be lost and their moral sense will degenerate…”

Realizing that King Xu was repenting again, Su Yunxuan raised her voice and interrupted, "Grandfather believes in gods, which is good."

After saying this, she glanced up again, then looked at King Xu and said, "The heavens and the mortal world are actually the same, both need people to govern..."

Noticing the doubt in Prince Xu's eyes, Su Yunxuan changed the topic and said, "Since Grandfather believes in gods, he should know the meaning of destiny.

Brother Changfeng has a noble character and will definitely ascend to heaven after his death. Grandfather will just treat him as someone who experienced hardships in the human world during his lifetime. Now that his time has come, it is time for him to return to where he belongs."

"You mean Changfeng..." King Xu frowned, as if lost in thought.

After a moment, he looked back at Su Yunxuan and said excitedly: "But, along the way..."

"He has his way, and I have my responsibility."

After saying this in a decisive manner, seeing Prince Xu staring at her with an expression of pity, Su Yunxuan turned slightly away and said cruelly, "Hasn't Prince Xu always hoped that I could take on the responsibility of Empress Yun Sheng?"

Prince Xu choked, and then a wave of discomfort surged in his heart. The pain made him stagger half a step and lower his head.

After a long while, he raised his hand to smooth his white hair and straightened his clothes.

Lifting his robe again, Prince Xu knelt on his knees facing Su Yunxuan's back and choked up as he said, "This old minister is grateful to the Empress for her righteousness on behalf of the people of Yunsheng."

After saying that, he quickly stood up, took out a secret letter from his arms, and handed it to Su Yunxuan tremblingly.

Su Yunxuan unfolded the blood-stained letter and scanned it carefully.

This was an urgent letter from the border. Because Su Yunxuan and her group had taken a detour, they were intercepted by King Xu who was chasing them on the right path.

When Su Muxiao's confidant Kong Yi wrote this letter, Su Muxiao had been seriously injured by Feng Yuqi, who broke into Yun Sheng's military camp alone to assassinate him. Tian Qu desperately protected him and sacrificed himself, allowing Feng Yuqi to escape.

After Su Muxiao was seriously injured and Feng Yuqi returned to Fenglan military camp, the situation in Yunsheng and Fenglan quickly turned around.

Fenglan's morale was high, and in less than ten days, they defeated Yunsheng's army, which was on the verge of capturing Fenglan Haiyue City, and forced it to retreat back to Yougu Pass.

Su Muxiao had originally been determined to fight to the death, but now he was defeated by Feng Lan. Not to mention that the food in Yunsheng’s camp was not sufficient, the morale of Yunsheng was completely defeated by Feng Lan.

If this continues, I'm afraid Yougu Pass will not be able to be defended!

Deputy Commander Kong Yi, who had served with General Daoqi for many years, had a premonition that something was wrong, so he wrote an urgent letter in blood and sent it to the capital.
