Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Seeing the blood color fade away from Su Meng's face, Ye Chen frowned slightly.

"King of the North, the Queen Mother said she is doing well and that she thinks of you often."

Hearing this, Su Meng's body trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, please tell Meng Jiao that I miss her too."

There was a hint of sadness in Su Meng's voice.

"King of the North, I will definitely convey your words to the Queen Mother."

Hearing this, Su Meng slowly closed his eyes, as if falling asleep.

Ye Chen stood up silently and walked out of the room.

That night.

Ye Chen received the news of Su Meng's death.

The funeral was presided over by Su Guanghao and Su Fu.

A grand funeral!

The Northern King's mourning hall was solemn and dignified, with white curtains fluttering gently in the wind.

Ye Chen walked to the coffin as an imperial envoy, picked up three incense sticks, lit them, and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner.

Su Fu burst into tears.

The coffin will be kept for seven days.

At the time of the burial, the sky was gloomy and the atmosphere was depressing.

When the coffin of the King of the North was slowly put into the tomb, Su Fu was so heartbroken that he fainted and leaned against a strong chest.

Ye Chen supported Su Fu.

Su Fu snuggled in Ye Chen's arms and sobbed, feeling weak and helpless, yet seemed to have found support.

In response to this, Su Guanghao and other relatives of the Northern Territory King showed strange expressions on their faces. Some people wanted to persuade him. After all, Su Fu was the second princess of the Northern Territory King's Mansion, and in their hearts, Ye Chen was just an official envoy.

However, Ye Chen was always protected by the imperial guards, so they didn't dare to do anything and could only watch.

On the third day after the Northern King was buried, Ye Chen summoned all the people in the Northern King's Palace and read out the oral order he had just thought of last night.

"After the death of the King of the North, the North cannot remain without a ruler for a single day. After careful consideration, I have decided to have all of the King's sons, nephews, and descendants come to the capital to take a unified examination. I will select one with outstanding abilities to supervise the training of the troops in peacetime and lead them in battle in times of war."

"As for the throne of the North, it will still be inherited by the son or nephew of the highest-ranking prince or nephew of the North. However, from now on, the King of the North will only need to take care of internal affairs and sacrificial matters."

"As for the mobilization of troops and the supply of military rations, Su Fu will be in charge."

After Ye Chen finished speaking.

Su Fu, Su Guanghao and others were all stunned.

Ye Chen was not surprised at the expressions of these people.

Domestic affairs, matters of war and the mobilization of troops and food supplies.

Ye Chen separated them.

This is absolutely unprecedented.

Only in this way can he firmly control the power of the entire northern border.

"His Majesty has also instructed me to inform you that until the Northern King's nephew has completed his examination, the army must prioritize defense against the Tatars and refrain from attacking."

Ye Chen said lightly.

"Yes."

"Be flat."

Ye Chen waited until everyone stood up.

"The matter in the northern border has concluded. I will leave Youzhou City tomorrow."

Ye Chen plans to return to the capital.

At this time, the northern border has been completely stabilized.

There was no need for him to stay any longer.

Hearing this, Su Fu frowned slightly, and the expression on her face became complicated.

After this day, she will stay in the North, but Ye Chen will leave.

I don’t know when we will meet again.

Su Fu felt extremely reluctant.

But she quickly bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind.

That night, after Ye Chen finished reading the military report, he was bored and about to go to bed.

Shen Qiu stood at the door of Ye Chen's dormitory as usual, but he had to guard it for the first half of the night before switching with the other imperial guards.

But suddenly, Su Fu came to the door of Ye Chen's dormitory.

"My Lord, it's time to go to bed."

Shen Qiu stopped Su Fu.

"I know you're asleep, sir. However, I've had someone make some ginseng soup, which will not only help you sleep but also replenish your energy. Guard Shen, please let me in. I'll leave after you've put down the ginseng soup."

Su Fu said politely.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu looked at Su Fu for a while.

"I want a body search and a drug test."

"Ah."

Su Fu did not object.

After Shen Qiu finished the examination, Su Fu entered the room.

"Who?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here to bring you some ginseng soup."

"Ok?"

Ye Chen, who was already lying on the bed, sat up in surprise.

"Su Fu, why did you deliver it in person?"

Ye Chen was a little confused.

Generally speaking, a princess doesn't have to do these things.

Hearing this, Su Fu bit his lip and did not answer. He placed the ginseng soup on the stool next to Ye Chen.

"Su Fu, go down."

Ye Chen said in a gentle tone.

At this time, Su Fu was already wearing a green brocade dress. She had delicate features, a refined temperament, a graceful figure, and a pair of large, bright eyes that were full of water.

For such a beauty, Ye Chen could only let her go. After all, this beauty was not his concubine, but Su Mengjiao's sister.

If you really want to count, Su Fu is his aunt.

However, Su Fu did not retreat as Ye Chen said, but suddenly hugged Ye Chen.

"Your Majesty, Su Fu wants to find someone to rely on for the Northern Territory. The Queen Mother has given all power to Your Majesty. Only Your Majesty can protect the Northern Territory."

Su Fu said so.

Ye Chen was slightly stunned. He could feel Su Fu's sincerity.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and took the initiative to hold Su Fu in his arms.

"Su Fu, I will obey you."

Ye Chen pushed Su Fu down on the bed and kissed him slowly.

Su Fu tried to respond.

When the love is strong.

The heat is sufficient.

Ye Chen was no longer satisfied with just kissing.

He broke the distance between him and Su Fu.

Su Fu frowned slightly, raised his neck, and a painful and suppressed sound came out of his mouth.

Shen Qiu, who had been guarding outside the door, soon discovered that the sound coming from the room was wrong. She frowned slightly, couldn't help but spit, and walked to the gate of the courtyard to be on guard.

The next day, the golden rooster crowed at dawn.

The early morning sunlight shines through the window into the room, soft and warm.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and immediately felt the delicate body lying in his arms.

Su Fu's skin was as smooth and delicate as silk, as if touching the softest cloud.

Ye Chen's fingers gently slid across Su Fu's cheek, and the touch was as warm as warm jade.

Su Fu woke up slowly, her cheeks flushed, as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom.
