Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

On March 25, the 24th year of Xuanhe, the nine-year-old young emperor Jiang Mingzhao officially ascended the throne, changed the reign title to Zhaohe, and issued a general amnesty.

The former Crown Prince Jiang Heng was honored as the Supreme Emperor, the former Crown Princess was honored as the Empress Dowager Zhongmin, and their tombs were moved into the imperial mausoleum. Emperor Xuanhe was honored as the Supreme Emperor and moved to the Xishan Palace outside Yudu to spend his later years.

After the coronation ceremony was completed, Jiang Jin and Jiang Mingzhao worked non-stop in the palace like tops for quite a while, and Mu Jiaojiao was also busy in the Regent's Palace.

The rewards from the palace were like a stream of free gifts, and different kinds of gifts were sent to the Regent's Palace every day. These were all from the little emperor Jiang Mingzhao. Whenever he found something beautiful or precious in the palace, he would order it to be sent to the Regent's Palace.

According to Eunuch Deyuan, who ran errands for him every day, His Majesty said, "The Regent Princess should like this!"

As for Wei Quanfu, who used to be by Emperor Xuanhe's side, he followed Emperor Xuanhe to the palace for recuperation this time. In fact, he had been Queen Xia's man from beginning to end. Later, he was loyal to Jiang Heng. After Jiang Heng died, he often conveyed news to Jiang Jin.

This time, others did not know Jiang Xuanqing's physical condition, but he knew it clearly in his heart. He estimated that Jiang Xuanqing would not be able to hold on for much longer. When the soul-devouring insect in his body erupted again, it would be the day he died. Now he followed him to serve him, which could be regarded as fulfilling the master-servant friendship of so many years.

Before the Supreme Emperor Jiang Xuanqing left the palace, he issued two final decrees. One was to demote Jiang Yi to a commoner, and to execute the former virtuous concubine Tang. The men of the Tang family were exiled to Jinzhou, and the women were enslaved.

Secondly, Jiang Qi was demoted to a commoner and sentenced to death. All the relevant personnel, big and small, were convicted of serious crimes. Even if there was a general amnesty, Jiang Yi and Jiang Qi were not spared.

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Qi was not executed by the people sent by Jiang Xuanqing in the end, but was sent away with a peach wood hairpin by Princess Qi Xu Shanshan, who reported him and testified for him.

According to the jailer who was guarding him at the time, Xu Shanshan said on the eve of the death penalty that they were husband and wife and she wanted to come and see Jiang Qi before she died, but neither of them could walk out of this visit alive.

All I remember is Xu Shanshan's shrill voice and her resolute words:

"Jiang Qi, I, Xu Shanshan, am a noble lady from an aristocratic family. I am dignified and elegant. My parents loved me before I got married. I thought that after I got married, I would have my husband to protect me. This was the blessing I had cultivated in my previous life. I didn't expect that everything was just a mirage. I was deceived by you."

"I discovered your dirty deeds, and you wanted to kill me. You drugged me, hoping that I would perish without even knowing it. Have you ever considered, Jiang Qi, that I, Xu Shanshan, am not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated? I also have the courage to perish with you!"

"Jiang Qi, this hairpin was a token of love you gave me five years ago. Now I'm returning it to you. I curse you to never see me again in the next life."

"boom!"

"Bitch!"

Later, when the jailer realized something was wrong and rushed in, he saw Xu Shanshan lying on the side with black blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She had obviously suffered a serious impact, which triggered her old illness. Jiang Qi was leaning against the wall with his clothes in disarray. There was a peach wood hairpin stuck in his heart and bleeding profusely.

"Hahaha……"

Xu Shanshan fell to the ground, looking at the man she once truly loved, with madness and mockery in her eyes.

"Jiang Qi, after I gave birth to Mingchen, you saw that there was someone to succeed me and wanted me to die. Did you ever think of today?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi covered his chest with one hand and had difficulty breathing. He looked at Xu Shanshan with a ferocious expression, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness. If it weren't for this woman, why would he have ended up like this?

He struggled to stand up and walked to Xu Shanshan. Looking at the pale woman lying on the ground in plain clothes, his eyes flashed fiercely. "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and let you live until today!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Xu Shanshan's neck with one hand and sent her to hell in an instant.

The jailer only reacted at this time and was about to rush in to save her, but unfortunately it was too late. Xu Shanshan was already dying and there was no cure.

Jiang Qi ignored the chaos of the jailers and soldiers, shook the man off, moved to the wall, tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes with difficulty, pulled out the wooden hairpin with his hand, stained it with blood flowing from his heart, and slowly wrote two lines of words on it. After finishing the last stroke, he leaned against the wall and died.

After the news came out, it was King Ping Jiang Yu, who had not appeared during the palace coup, who came to the Ministry of Justice prison to help Jiang Qi collect the body.

He walked in amidst the bowing and nodding guards, and saw a man in the cell wearing a white tunic, with messy hair, a large patch of dried blood on his chest, and a bloody cloth in his hand.

Jiang Yu's expression remained unusually calm from beginning to end. He slowly approached the man leaning against the wall without breathing. With trembling fingers, he took the strip of cloth with difficulty from the man's clenched hands and gently unfolded it, revealing the bright red words.

Affordable:

I have no control over my life, and I feel guilty towards everyone in the world except you.

"Woooooooo..."

After Jiang Yu finished reading, the calm expression on his face was broken, his eyes were bloodshot, and tears flowed out. He bit his lips, held the cloth strip tightly in his hand, covered his chest, and cursed after making a whimpering sound.

"asshole!"

"You deserve to die!"

On the third day after this incident, Jiang Yu submitted a memorial to the young emperor in the palace, stating that he was willing to give up his royal status. He wanted to go and see the vast mountains and seas from now on, and hoped that His Majesty would agree.

Jiang Jin was accompanying Jiang Mingzhao to deal with memorials. When he saw this memorial, he thought about it and agreed. Jiang Yu knew very well that if he was still the King Ping of Dayu, he would probably be unable to leave Yudu for the rest of his life. Since he wanted to live an ordinary life, Jiang Jin fulfilled his wish.

Jiang Yu left resolutely. On the second day after the memorial was approved, he carried an urn on his back, rode a black horse, left Yudu alone, and disappeared into the vast sky.

**

In the plum garden that was the favorite of the late Crown Princess, in front of a double burial tomb.

Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao, along with Jiang Mingzhao and Jiang Mingxiao, a family of four, dressed in plain black, stood firmly in front of the tomb. Behind them knelt several people, including Jiang Che, who had been demoted to a commoner and sentenced to exile, and Su Baiqian and Su Changxun's family who had disappeared inexplicably.

He Yunyu, who had met Mu Jiaojiao several times, was fanning himself and waiting not far away with a group of men in black, looking bored.

The Su family escaped from the tunnel at that time. In fact, he and his men were waiting outside the city. It was a dark and windy night. Even though Prime Minister Su had assassins and the guards in the mansion had good martial arts skills, they could not do anything about the Dark Tower owner's personal action.

Jiang Jin looked at the double tomb, his eyes reddened, and he spoke in a low voice with a bit of sorrow: "Crown Prince, sister-in-law, Huaizhi brought his wife Mu Jiaojiao, and two little nephews to see you!"

When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, she felt a surge of pity in her heart. She reached out and held Jiang Jin's hand, squeezing it gently as a silent comfort.
