Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Emperor Yuan Qing said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, Concubine Dowager. You and your son will meet in the underworld soon."

"No, you can't kill Yuan Jing."

Concubine Chen reiterated and quickly took out a gold medal from her sleeve and held it up, "This is a gift from the late emperor. Seeing this token is like seeing the late emperor."

Including Lu Chenxiao, everyone in the hall knelt down.

Emperor Yuan Qing was also forced to bow in front of the gold medal.

"The late emperor said that this gold medal can save one from the death penalty. I will now use this token to exchange for Yuan Jing's life. Your Majesty, you must obey."

Emperor Yuan Qing looked at the token in silence.

There are two such tokens in total, one in front of you and the other in Axiao's hand.

It was specially prepared by my father for Concubine Chen and A Xiao. It also means that in my father's heart, Concubine Chen and A Xiao are his most beloved people.

Now that Concubine Chen has used the gold medal to exchange for Lu Yuanjing's life, the last trump card of both mother and son is gone.

Emperor Yuan Qing had an unclear expression on his face. After a long while, he finally spoke slowly, "For the sake of my father, I can spare Lu Yuanjing's life, but I can avoid the death penalty, but I can't escape the punishment of living."

Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she was alive, it would be fine.

"Lu Yuanjing has ulterior motives and is unfit to be a royal heir. His title of Prince of Yu is now revoked and he is demoted to a commoner. He will be sent to clean the imperial mausoleum tomorrow morning and will not be allowed to leave the mausoleum without an imperial decree."

"Also, give Lu Yuanjing a pot of sake."

Concubine Chen was thinking of something, and asked with an unhappy look, "Your Majesty, can we not use the sake?"

"I can drink it, why can't he?"

Lu Yuanjing must drink the sake that has been poisoned with mute poison!

Concubine Chen was speechless when asked, and watched in grief and anger as Lu Yuanjing was dragged away.

She was sent back to Yuchen Palace and was given an oral order that she must not leave the palace again in her lifetime.

As soon as the mother and son left, the ministers in the palace woke up from their dream.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know that your Majesty had been replaced by someone else."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please spare us. We have all been deceived by Lu Yuanjing."

Amid the cries for mercy, Emperor Yuan Qing slowly walked back to the dragon throne.

Lu Chenxiao made a gesture, and Qian Fushun led his men to carry the coffin containing the counterfeit goods out of the Qianzheng Hall, and Gu Tang led his men to quickly remove the white cloth and black banners.

The hall soon became spacious and bright again, but all the officials lay on the ground and dared not look up.

Emperor Yuan Qing laughed, "You are truly my beloved ministers!"

No one dared to answer this, not even Jiang Yiyan, who had shouted the loudest before.

Emperor Yuan Qing did not indulge them and gave orders directly.

"De Fei failed to control her family, and from today onwards, she will be deposed as a concubine and demoted to a commoner. The entire Jiang family will be exiled three thousand miles away."

"Lin Xu and Guo Songbai have failed in their moral conduct. They will immediately retire from their military service and move their families out of the capital. Their descendants will no longer be allowed to enter the capital."

"Han Yi has evil intentions and is not good at judging people. He is demoted to the ninth rank of county magistrate and will go to Xining to take up his post tomorrow morning."

"Qin Yimo, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, neglected his duties and recognized the enemy as his master. However, considering that his sister, Concubine Li, had contributed to my raising Princess Lingzhu, I pardoned his crime of negligence and allowed him to retain his status as an Imperial Guard and make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence."

……

After several dismissal orders were issued in succession, half of the ministers in the palace became discouraged.

The major families that had been ruling the capital for many years were also mostly wiped out.

After severe punishment, rewards will be given according to merit.

"Prince Heng and his family of three have done a great service in saving me. I am grateful to them."

"We now appoint Heng Wang Lu Chenxiao as the Grand Marshal of the Army, in charge of the million-strong army of the Yuan Dynasty."

"Princess Heng Meng Yunshang is as brave as a man, wise and courageous. I have given her a golden whip, which can be used to beat the tyrant emperor and slanderous ministers. Seeing the whip is like seeing me."

"Lu Youlin, the crown prince of Prince Heng, has great talent and the ambition to stabilize the country at a young age. As an exception, he is named Prince Rui, a prince of the same rank."

When the ministers first heard that Prince Heng was to be appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Army, they did not think it was a big deal.

After all, the emperor had long wanted to concentrate all military power in the hands of Prince Heng, and now it was just a matter of course.

But the rewards given to Princess Heng and Prince Heng were astonishing.

Princess Heng was just a woman, and it was ok for her to receive the golden whip bestowed by the emperor, but she could actually beat the tyrant emperor and slanderous ministers?

What is the difference between this and the Imperial Sword?

Not to mention the capital, I’m afraid no one in the entire Yuan Dynasty would dare to provoke her, Meng Yunshang.

There is also the Prince of Heng, a little baby who is less than five years old. Not only was he made a king as an exception, but he was also a prince of the same rank.

Good guy, good guy!

Only the Hengwang family can have such a glorious family.

Amid the envious gazes of the crowd, Meng Yunshang and Lu Chenxiao thanked calmly.

Be neither humble nor arrogant, and be unmoved by praise or criticism.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yuan Qing announced the restoration of the official positions of Meng Jinyou, Cui Cheng and others, and publicly rewarded Qian Fushun, Gu Tang and others.

At this point, the drama that was so real that it was hard to tell the difference between a fake and a real thing finally came to an end.

Some in the court are happy while others are sad.

After all the officials left, Emperor Yuan Qing walked up to Lu Chenxiao and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "I'm sorry for putting you through this, Xiao."

Lu Chenxiao remained silent.

Emperor Yuan Qing thought that he was dissatisfied with the reward, so he said amiably, "If you want anything else, just ask. As long as I have it, I will definitely give it to you."

Lu Chenxiao asked faintly, "How are you going to deal with those people in the harem?"

People in the harem?

Emperor Yuan Qing was full of questions.

Lu Chenxiao turned to look at Meng Yunshang, "Wife, didn't you tell him that all the new concubines selected in the palace have been slept with by Lu Yuanjing?"

Meng Yunshang: “…”

I can’t say it, I really can’t say it.

Emperor Yuan Qing: “…”

Why don't you wait until I'm dead before telling me?

"Ahem, the Imperial Household Department has the records of sleeping with the emperor. If His Majesty is free, you can take a closer look. Although it won't confuse the heir to the throne, it still needs to be made clear. Of course, if His Majesty doesn't mind, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Who doesn’t mind? Just ask who doesn’t mind such a big thing!

Also, what do you mean by not confusing the heirs of the dragon?

Emperor Yuan Qing frowned and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Lu Chenxiao and Meng Yunshang looked at each other and remembered something that had been overlooked.

He bowed to Emperor Yuan Qing and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Study and talk. Lu Qingjia once told me an old story when we were in the East China Sea. I wanted to tell you about Chen's fake pregnancy last time, but I was so angry that I forgot about it."

Emperor Yuan Qing's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was not going well.

Next, the two brothers chatted in detail in the imperial study for nearly an hour.

When the door opened, Emperor Yuan Qing's heart finally settled down.

On a new day, news spread from the palace that Qin Zhaoyi had died suddenly.

In the following month, those newly favored concubines fell out of favor one after another, died of illness or were sent to the cold palace.

Concubine Li also suddenly fell ill and refused to see visitors.

Outside the palace, Meng Yunshang was not surprised at all to receive the news.

However, the empress dowager, who had regained her freedom, went to Qianzheng Hall to inquire the reason after learning the news.

No one knew what Emperor Yuanqing said to her, but the empress dowager came out of Qianzheng Hall and went straight to Yuchen Palace.

That night, there was a fire in Yuchen Palace, and Concubine Chen died.

The next morning, the news that Lu Yuanjing was intercepted by a group of masked men on his way to the imperial mausoleum reached Prince Heng's mansion.
