Although Jiang Jiu did not have the original owner's memory, he still supported the entire Duke Zhenguo Mansion.

When he returned to the mansion, the original owner's father, the prince of Zhenguo, Yao Shirong, had not woken up, and his younger brother Yao Song was still young.

Jiang Jiu carried out the funeral of the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife, as well as the Crown Prince's wife, in an orderly manner according to the burial laws of Daning.

In the palace, Zhao Zhuoxi drank the medicine again and was unconscious for the whole night. He was completely awake the next morning.

After waking up, he felt refreshed and indescribably relaxed.

Because he vomited too much blood a while ago, the imperial physician gave him a lot of tonics.

Zhao Zhuoxi recovered completely.

"This prince... I feel very good now. As for the princess, they said that the queen's palace has not been repaired yet, so she will live with me from now on... Where is she? Why did she disappear..."

Zhao Zhuoxi stood up while speaking.

He stretched out his arms for the palace maids to help him dress, and once everything was done, he couldn't wait to run out of the hall.

As soon as he arrived outside the hall, he found that Nishang, Yang Ming, and several of his former followers were staring at him nervously.

Zhao Zhuoxi thought he was going to deal with matters in the palace.

Waving his hand, he said, "Let Gu Chengyan and Qin Daxueshi handle these trivial matters. I haven't seen the princess for a long time, and I miss you very much..."

After going through so much, Zhao Zhuoxi wanted to pull Jiang Jiu aside to chat.

He wanted to tell Jiang Jiu about his excitement and wanted to enjoy this kingdom with her.

Last time, he had such a good opportunity to become emperor, but he was unwilling to do so because Jiang Jiu was no longer there.

He said he was bored because no one shared his victory with him.

Now Jiang Jiu is not far away, waiting for him. He can finally realize his wish and share the world with her.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I walked with a breeze under my feet.

However, Nichang, Lu Ming, Lu An, Gu Chengyan, Master Yiyun and others who followed behind him looked at each other with bad expressions on their faces.

Nichang signaled to Lu Ming: "Hurry up and stop them! If we really get to the prince's former palace and see everything, we're doomed..."

Lu Ming was also conflicted: "I dare not. Look at the master's expression. Who would dare to stop him..."

Lu Ming winked at Master Yiyun, and Master Yiyun also shook his head slightly.

After some hesitation, the group finally arrived at Zhao Zhuoxi's former palace.

"Xiaojiu, I'm back..."

I don’t know what happened, but the moment Zhao Zhuoxi was about to push open the door, he had a bad feeling.

He flung the door open and saw that the palace was empty.

Suddenly a cold wind blew, and leaves fluttered down from the sky.

"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu..."

The further he walked into the house, the colder Zhao Zhuoxi felt.

It's not winter yet, why have all the leaves on this tree fallen?

The flowers in the yard have also wilted, and the whole yard looks desolate.

"Xiaojiu... I'm back..."

Zhao Zhuoxi shouted again.

Logically speaking, Jiang Jiu should have come over by now.

But now the room was silent.

Zhao Zhuoxi came to the door of the room and was about to push it open.

Lu Ming couldn't help but shout, "Master... the princess..."

Zhao Zhuoxi paused as he pushed the door open and slowly turned around.

"What's wrong with the princess? Is it possible that Princess Zhaoyang won't release them even at this time?"

He originally had a very fierce aura, and now that he had become an emperor and had experienced a lot of fighting, his whole body was filled with an indescribable murderous aura.

Lu Ming couldn't help but shiver.

With a swish, Lu Ming knelt down.

The people who followed also knelt on the ground, and no one dared to look up.

"Tell me...what happened to the princess? Is she not here..."

"Princess, we're back..." Nishang had to speak up, "Our people went to the Princess's Mansion to invite her back. Princess Zhaoyang and everyone else in the Princess's Mansion have all been captured..."

"She's been captured..." Zhao Zhuoxi looked at Nishang in confusion, "That's my aunt, the princess's grandmother, how dare you capture her..."

But that person was Nishang. If the princess hadn't been in trouble, she would never have dared to do that.

So Zhao Zhuoxi reacted immediately.

"But something happened to the princess..."

Nishang knew that she would be unable to hide the truth sooner or later, so she looked at Lu Ming and told him that Princess Zhaoyang and the Sixth Prince Zhao Zhuoran used the princess's body to poison Zhao Zhuoxi.

The more Zhao Zhuoxi listened, the more frightened he became, and the colder his heart grew.

The hands that were raised were shaking.

"The princess...is gone? What does that mean?"

Nichang knew she couldn't say anything more, for fear that everyone in the yard would be angry.

When Your Majesty is angry, corpses will float for thousands of miles.

Nichang and Lu Ming both bowed their heads to the ground, not daring to look up.

Seeing that no one dared to answer him, Zhao Zhuoxi gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.

There were white banners hanging in the room, and a black lacquered coffin was placed in the middle of the hall.

The moment he saw the coffin, Zhao Zhuoxi was completely stunned.

He dared not open his eyes, for he was afraid that the person lying in the coffin was his most beloved woman.

However, things did not go as planned. When Zhao Zhuoxi came to the coffin, he still saw Su Man's body.

"The princess originally had a miscarriage. In order to prepare medicine for her master, she had no choice but to use the Western poison called Hateful Separation. After taking this medicine, the princess hemorrhaged and died after the miscarriage. There is no way to save her."

Nishang told Zhao Zhuoxi the truth about the detoxification.

Although it is cruel, it would be even more aggrieved for the sacrificed princess if the truth is not told to him.

Zhao Zhuoxi staggered and almost fell, and held on to the dark coffin with his big hands.

"Zhao Zhuoran really has good intentions in order to harm me..."

It was really worth it to kill him. Zhao Zhuoxi originally felt a little guilty, after all, they were brothers.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhuoran used one trick after another to harm him.

He reached out and lifted the brocade handkerchief covering Su Man's face. After taking a look at Su Man's pale face, he felt a sweetness in his throat and a taste of rust in his mouth.

Zhao Zhuoxi swallowed the blood.

This is Su Man, the daughter of the Su family, not his Jiang Jiu.

His Jiang Jiu will not die. He doesn't know where his soul has gone. He will slowly look for it and wait patiently.

"Come here, confer the title of Empress Zhaode on Su Man, and posthumously confer the title of Empress Yuanzhen on Madam Jiang... Grant the burial of Empress Zhaode in the Western Imperial Mausoleum, and the burial of Empress Yuanzhen in the Central Imperial Mausoleum..."

"Yes." After the people below knelt down again, Zhao Zhuoxi raised his hand and asked them to stand up.

Lu Ming and Nishang looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

It was legitimate for Su Man to be the queen, because she was a princess after all. However, many ministers were dissatisfied with Jiang Jiu being the queen.

However, no one dared to say anything.

After all, Jiang married Zhao Zhuoxi with her own business.

Now Jiang's business has become a royal business, and is managed by Gu Chengyan, Xiao Yimo and others.

Gu Chengyan even got the title of Minister of Revenue. Together with his wife Mudan, he not only had to manage the business, but also the national treasury.

On the day of seeing the queen off, Zhao Zhuoxi even placed Jiang Jiu's ashes in a coffin made of golden nanmu wood.

Jiang Jiu's coffin was in front and Su Man's was in the back. After entering the imperial mausoleum, Jiang Jiu's coffin was in the middle position. The meaning was very clear. After Zhao Zhuoxi died a hundred days later, he would be buried with her.
