Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

"Husband, why are you frowning?" Su Yun raised her hand and smoothed his furrowed brow.

This long-lost tenderness, reserved only for him, almost brought Xiao Lusheng to tears.

He grasped Su Yun's hand and choked out, "Yun'er, and Brother Rong, he hasn't woken up yet."

"what?"

"He hasn't woken up yet. Chen'er said that we'll find a way to wake him up once we get back to the Imperial Observatory."

Where is Brother Rong?

As she spoke, Su Yun sat up, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw three carriages in front and behind.

Xiao Lusheng said, "Brother Rong is in the middle car."

"I'll go check on him. Park the car."

As soon as Su Yun finished speaking, the guards driving the carriage quickly tightened the reins, and the carriage slowly came to a stop. When the lead carriage stopped, the other guards also stopped.

Su Yun and Xiao Lusheng jumped off the carriage together.

When Zhao Lei and the many guards saw Xiao Lusheng and Su Yun alight from the carriage, they all knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings to the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager."

"Rise, all of you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor and Empress Dowager."

As they headed toward the second carriage, Xie Yun Chu lifted the curtain, while Xiao Yao knelt beside Rong Xun.

"Father, Mother," Xie Yun Chu said, bowing.

The guards who were driving the carriage had already set up a saddle stool. Su Yun stepped onto the saddle stool and boarded the carriage, with Xiao Lusheng following closely behind.

"Mother, Father," Xiao Yao said, choking back tears as she rose and moved further inside.

The carriage seats had all been removed, and Rong Xun lay peacefully inside.

Su Yun walked to Rong Xun's side. When she saw that Rong Xun's already pale face was completely bloodless, she felt a sudden, sharp pain in her heart.

She knelt beside Rong Xun, took his hand, and pressed her hand against his pulse point to check his pulse.

Holding on, holding on, Su Yun was so frightened that she flinched away. She looked at Rong Xun in disbelief; his pulse was very weak, extremely bad.

"Brother Rong, Brother Rong..."

Su Yun was dazed.

Xiao Lusheng helped Su Yun up, "Yun'er, don't move him. Let's think of a solution together when we get back to the Imperial Observatory!"

Xiao Yao nodded, "That's right, Mother. We'll find a way to bring Uncle Rong back after we get back to the palace!" Brother Chen said that after they left, the Imperial Observatory was razed to the ground.

But in recent years, it has been rebuilt.

Su Yun looked at Rong Xun, feeling a mix of emotions. She looked at him with a sob in her eyes and said, "If you can hear me, please wake up."

The voice just fell.

Something fell out of Rong Xun's sleeve.

Su Yun picked it up and looked at it. She felt that the peach wood token was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it. She stared at the four characters "Five Thunder Token" engraved on it and pondered for a long time.

Xiao Lusheng stared at the token, somewhat stunned. He had seen Yun'er holding this token in the illusion.

At that time, Yun'er said that Rong Xun gave it to her and told her to give it to Chen'er later.

and so--

At that time, Rong Xun had already decided not to come back!

Rong Xun, you're really something!

You really planned this all along!

But how can Yun'er and I be at ease if you don't come back!

Xiao Lusheng took a deep breath. He looked at Yun'er, who had lost the memory of that illusion, and he really didn't know whether losing those memories was a joy or a sorrow for Yun'er.

"Father, Mother, please go back to the carriage. Yun Chu and I will look after things here." Xiao Yao knew that Uncle Rong was just as important to her mother as her father and their children.

Seeing Uncle Rong in such a state, it's no wonder the Empress Dowager was heartbroken!

Su Yun naturally did not want to leave.

How could she not look at Rong Xun? She was afraid that if she didn't look at him, he would leave.

What confused her even more was that Xiao Lusheng said she had no memory of many things that happened in the illusion. Why did she have no memory of them?

That must mean there were some very, very bad things in that memory.

Su Yun did not return the Five Thunder Token to Rong Xun. Subconsciously, she thought she would keep it safe for him and return it to him when he woke up.

"No, I must personally protect your Uncle Rong." He was a man who, if she were not around, would have no attachment to this world.

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Lusheng.

Xiao Lusheng asked, "Where is Chen'er?"

"Brother Chen is resting in the car behind."

Su Yun asked, "Chen'er used Taoist magic. You two keep an eye on him and make sure nothing happens to him."

Xiao Yao and Xie Yun Chu nodded, "Mother is right, then we'll ride in the same carriage as Brother Chen."

"Ah."

Xiao Yao glanced at Rong Xun again, then got off the carriage with Xie Yun Chu and walked towards the carriage behind.

After they boarded the bus, the group set off again.

Su Yun knelt to Rong Xun's left, and Xiao Lusheng sat beside her. When Su Yun was tired, she could lean on his shoulder to rest.

Two days and two nights later.

The group finally returned to the palace.

Because Xiao Chen had sent someone back to the capital in advance to inform the Emperor Emeritus, the Empress Dowager, and Emperor Xuan that they had returned to the palace after recuperating, all the ministers went to Xuanwu Gate to greet them.

The procession was so grand that Xiao Yao lowered the carriage curtain and looked at her elder brother, the Emperor, inside. "Brother Chen, we've been gone for almost five years, and you still haven't declared yourself Emperor?"

"The throne is yours, and Xiao Nuomi and the others are studying in the Imperial Study under Grand Tutor Ding," Xiao Chen said, his brows furrowing slightly. "You all disappeared too quickly and too mysteriously back then. To avoid political turmoil, I had no choice but to make Zetian the Crown Princess."

“Zetian, it’s Xiaonuomi…”

Xiao Chen nodded, "Exactly."

"That's right, she's the eldest, so she should be made the Crown Princess!"

Xiao Chen cleared his throat. "Also, after you disappeared, I appointed myself Regent, and all the court affairs these past few years have been reviewed in the Imperial Study."

Later, I went to Old Chen Mountain, and Zhen'er handled all the memorials in the Imperial Study.

Xiao Yao nodded, "Very good."

Sure enough, with Brother Chen around, the heavens of Cangyun Kingdom will not be in chaos.

She looked at Xiao Chen, "Brother Chen, this empire is best left to you—"

"No!"

Xiao Chen interrupted Xiao Yao, "Now that you're back, there's no reason for Zhen'er and me to continue managing state affairs. Zhen'er and I will gradually hand these things back to you."

Xiao Yao: “…”

It seems she really has to continue being the empress!

Fine, in another ten years or so, when Zetian grows up, he can take this position!

Xiao Yao pulled Xie Yun Chu down from the carriage.

Xiao Chen followed closely behind and disembarked from the carriage.

When the officials saw Xiao Yao, they were all extremely shocked. Although Xiao Chen had covered up the matter of the Imperial Observatory very well, the Imperial Observatory had disappeared overnight, along with the emperor, the retired emperor, and others.

Now that the Imperial Observatory has been rebuilt, and all the missing people have returned, this scene is truly unbelievable!

However, the Empress has returned, and their powerful Cangyun Kingdom is no longer a country without an emperor!

"Welcome back to the palace, Your Majesty!" The chief eunuch, Tang An, shouted loudly, holding a whisk. It was not hard to hear a hint of excitement in his voice.
