In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Although I had expected that the Queen Mother, this old witch, was very vindictive, it still seemed unbelievable to me when I heard that she was going to hang herself in such a short time.

She hadn't done anything to him yet, but she was already so scared. She was really timid.

However, even though he is supported by the people today, he still hopes that he can ascend the throne in a dignified manner.

Not only for himself, but also for all those who love him.

He hoped that in the future, neither Xu Qingyin nor his mother would be criticized by anyone.

He hopes that everyone he loves can live the best life.

"No matter what the reason is, we must do our utmost to save the Queen Mother's life first."

The Empress Dowager naturally knew that he was still afraid that Lu Yan would kill him because of his excessive hatred for the Empress Dowager, but if that was true, then he would be afraid of leaving a stain on his reputation.

She was relieved that she had not expected her son to be able to see so clearly.

"I never thought my prince would be so magnanimous. This makes me feel relieved. Today, we must discipline the Queen Mother. No matter what evil things she has done, it is not our place to deal with her."

Now that Lu Yan has returned to the palace victoriously, many things have been reported to Lu Yan tacitly without being told to Lu Zhou and the Queen Mother. In fact, who doesn't know this?

Although they are still in this position now, it is only because His Royal Highness Prince Jing has not taken action yet. If His Royal Highness Prince Jing intends to take action, how can they have any chance of survival?

But some things need to be taken slowly.

Lu Yan knew the Empress Dowager's situation very well, so he didn't spend too much time on her. He went to visit the Empress Dowager first and exchanged a few words. Anyway, he rescued her no matter what, and with his own people watching over her, he would never let her commit suicide in the future.

If she wanted to be judged and to atone for her past mistakes, she shouldn't have ended her life so easily.

That's too cheap for her.

The people she has hurt should be held responsible for her crimes.

That day, Lu Zhou knelt before the Queen Mother's bed, crying loudly.

"Mother, I really don't want to be the emperor anymore. We are like fish on the chopping board now. Staying like this is not a solution."

The Empress Dowager knew it very well. She closed her eyes as if she had given up, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

She now had no reason to refuse the medicine.

If she didn't drink the medicine, someone would pour it into her mouth.

It is no longer the case that they can do whatever they want and whenever they want.

"In that case, Your Majesty, please do as you see fit."

Just after saying this, when Lu Yan came to visit the empress dowager again, he saw the paper that Lu Zhou brought.

Written on it is the abdication edict.

It wasn't Lu Yan who forced him to do so, he was afraid to abdicate.

Now that he had received the imperial edict, Lu Yan had no intention of wasting any more time on them.

On this day, Xu Qingyin was in high spirits. When she saw Lu Yan, holding the abdication edict in her hand, tears of joy could not stop flowing down her face.

"I didn't expect that after waiting for so long, we would finally get to this day."

Lu Yan's eyes also turned red.

"Yes, I have finally waited for this day.

"Today I finally understood what that strange old woman said when we met that day. She said I personally crushed my own imperial destiny."

Although Xu Qingyin didn't hear what they said in person, she understood what he meant:

"What she meant was that you missed the perfect opportunity to ascend the throne because you broke the prison for me?"

"Yeah, he said that we were in love but it didn't end well. He probably meant that we liked each other, but I couldn't help but leave. During that time, we missed each other for a full ten years, at least in my world."

The mystery of all this was revealed. Before Xu Qingyin could say anything, Lu Yan quickly thought of it and continued:

"Oh right, now that everything is done, we have to quickly bring your mother back. I left her somewhere else, safe and sound, and I think she's recovered by now.

"Although we're far away, she was so powerful in the past. I think she knows almost everything about our current situation. When I returned victorious, I sent someone to pick her up. I think she'll be back soon, and then you and your daughter will be reunited."

She hadn't expected Lu Yan to be so attentive. Even she herself hadn't thought of so many of these things. Xu Qingyin was delighted:

"Now that your abdication is complete, you will certainly not be hindered by anyone. But what do you plan to do with these two?"

"I think they should both personally apologize to those who did this to them. The Queen Mother's crimes are unforgivable. I estimate that she must have killed nearly ten thousand people to refine those poisons. In the past, the charge of murdering the Queen Mother alone was enough to kill him ten thousand times over."

Yes, not only the Empress Dowager, but even Lu Zhou was accused of crimes in the past. If it weren't for the poisonous insects in Lu Qian, how could they have been at large for so long?

However, Lu Yan’s coronation ceremony will probably be postponed for a while. After all, he has been very busy since he returned to Beijing. It will take at least ten days.

Although it will take a long time, everything has been delivered to Prince Jing's Mansion. Everyone knows that if there is anything, they should report it to His Royal Highness Prince Jing as soon as possible.

When the news that the Empress Dowager had been sent to prison, along with the written indictment listing all his crimes, reached the capital, it was a matter of great joy.

It has been a long time since Yunjin has heard such great news.

"Finally, it's his turn. I've waited so long. My son... my son was captured by her and taken to the harem! She said she wanted to make a contribution to the imperial city, but apart from throwing us a silver ingot, we haven't seen my son since..."

As he said this, the old woman in front of him burst into tears.

"Yes, he also took my child away. I heard that this person was fed with poisonous insects. But the people in the imperial city are so talkative. They are powerful and influential, and we can't do anything about it. His Royal Highness Prince Jing is really a kind man."

"With someone like him, is there anything we in Yunjin can't accomplish?"

Xu Qingyin felt warm in her heart as she listened to their praise for Lu Yan outside.

He had been so exhausted in the past two years that he could finally take a break. Everything he had done was not in vain.
