After rebirth, I remarried the domineering 9000-year-old

The court meeting ended with the regent looking gloomy.

Everyone was in high spirits and went to congratulate Fu Jiuli and his wife.

Fu Jiuli held his wife's hand and walked out of the court to the palace gate. Half an hour later,

Just as the two were about to get on the carriage, they were stopped by a young woman.

Fu Yunying's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Fu Jiuli pitifully:

"Brother Li, don't you remember Yunying? When you were little, you said you would marry Yunying when you grew up. Don't you remember all that?"

Fu Jiuli hurriedly looked at his wife and expressed his loyalty: "Madam, I don't know her."

"Brother Li!" Tears welled up in Fu Yunying's eyes. "How could you treat Yunying like this?"

Shen Nanxing smiled and said, "Miss, everyone knows that my husband was only four years old when he left Xining. Are you saying that a little kid who was less than four years old promised you that he would marry you when he grew up?"

Fu Jiuli held his wife's hand, feeling a little aggrieved. "Madam, I never said such a thing. She lied to you."

"Brother Li!" Fu Yunying took a step forward and wanted to grab Fu Jiuli's hand.

Fu Jiuli quickly took his wife back a step: "Young lady, please respect yourself!"

He looked at Fu Yunying seriously and said, "I, Fu Jiuli, will only marry one person in this life, and that is my wife. If you really want to get married, I will grant you a marriage when I ascend the throne in ten days."

"Brother Li!" Fu Yunying stamped her feet, covered her face and ran away crying.

Shen Nanxing looked at him with a half-smile: "Brother Li?"

Fu Jiuli quickly raised his hand and swore, "I, Fu Jiuli, swear that if I ever betray my wife in this life, I will never..."

Shen Nanxing pulled his hand down and said, "Okay, I believe you."

"But ma'am, you're not happy..."

"Well, I don't like her calling you that."

"Then if she screams like that again, I'll have her beaten with a stick. Is that satisfactory, Madam?"

"..."

Ten days later, Fu Jiuli ascended the throne as emperor and Shen Nanxing became empress.

Grand coronation and empress enthronement ceremonies were held in Xining, and the whole country celebrated.

The first thing Fu Jiuli did after ascending the throne was to order the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case of the late queen stealing royal secrets, and to clear the late queen's name and make it known to the court and the public.

The second thing was to appoint Shen Ming as prime minister, and at the same time reclassify the various officials in the court according to their merits, contributions and talents, with the capable ones promoted and the mediocre ones demoted.

The third thing was to reduce taxes and implement policies that benefited the people, which were praised by the whole country.

After all matters were handled, Fu Jiuli and his wife cuddled together and slept at night. Seeing his wife tossing and turning, he asked, "Madam, are you missing home?"

"Yeah." Shen Nanxing was worried: "If we escape, I wonder if the Emperor of Beiyue will make things difficult for the Marquis' Mansion and the Duke's Mansion."

Fu Jiuli smiled and straightened her hair. "The Emperor of Beiyue is not an unreasonable person. He treated me like this because he was worried that my power would be too great and threaten his position. This matter has nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion or the Duke's Mansion, so he shouldn't be embarrassed..."

"And even if he wants to do something, he needs a reason..."

Shen Nanxing was still worried: "But..."

Fu Jiuli kissed his wife lightly between the eyebrows. "If you're really worried, why don't you have your brother go back to Beiyue tomorrow to take a look? If it's convenient, we can try to invite people from the Marquis' Mansion and the Duke's Mansion to stay in Xining for a while... What do you think, Madam?"

"it is good."

-

The next day, after Shen Ming said goodbye to the emperor and empress, he took 500 men and horses and traveled day and night. Ten days later, he arrived at the capital of Beiyue.

He arranged his men outside the city and returned to the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion alone. However, upon entering the mansion, he found that the atmosphere inside was very depressed.

All the servants and maids were in a hurry, with unhappy expressions on their faces. When they saw him, they just bowed hurriedly and left immediately.

Shen Ming frowned, called a servant and asked, "What happened in the mansion?"

The servant bowed his head and said: "Master, please go and see the old marquis... The old marquis..."

"What happened to my grandfather?" Shen Ming grabbed the boy's shirt by his chest and almost lifted him up.

The servant turned pale with fear: "You...you'll know if you go and see..."

Shen Ming loosened his grip, let the man go, and ran quickly towards his grandfather's yard.

Arriving at his grandfather's yard, as soon as he pushed open the gate, a strong smell of medicine hit him. His face changed, and he quickened his pace into the bedroom, where he saw his grandfather lying quietly on the bed, his eyelids closed, his face extremely haggard.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Ming rushed over in two steps and knelt beside the bed: "Grandfather, your grandson is back!"

When Lord Shen heard the voice, he slowly opened his eyes: "Beiyue...where is your sister...?"

Shen Ming held his grandfather's hand and told him in detail what had happened in the past few days.

After hearing this, the worried look on Lord Shen's face disappeared, revealing a hint of a smile: "That's good, that's good..."

Then he suddenly frowned and said, "Then you...what are you doing back here? Hurry up and go, go!"

Shen Ming tucked in the quilt for his grandfather and asked softly, "Grandfather, I'm fine. How are you? Why did you suddenly become ill?"

"Has anything happened in the mansion these days? I see the maids and servants in the mansion are all in a hurry, something is not right..."

Lord Shen was startled for a moment, then burst into tears: "Beiyue, go! Go to Xining and take care of your sister. Don't come back..."

He looked at the ceiling, his eyes gradually losing focus: "Grandfather is afraid that he can't see my good great-grandson!"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry..."

Shen Ming frowned: "Grandfather, Grandfather!"

However, Old Marquis Shen seemed not to hear what he said and did not react at all. He just murmured "I'm sorry, Your Majesty" and shed tears.

"Old Marquis, it's time to take your medicine!" Uncle Zhang walked in with the medicine, but when he saw Shen Ming, he staggered and almost spilled the medicine.

"Master, you're finally back!" Zhang Bo's old eyes were filled with tears. "Please try to persuade the old Marquis. He hasn't eaten for three days and refuses to take medicine..."

Shen Ming took the medicine bowl and placed it on the table, then helped Uncle Zhang sit down. "Uncle Zhang, please tell me first, what exactly happened during this period of time?"

Zhang Bo wiped his tears with his hand and said slowly, "After the Ninth Prince escaped with the young lady and you, His Majesty summoned the old Marquis to the palace, saying that he failed to discipline his children properly, that his son had a mistress, that his daughter-in-law was crazy, and that his grandchildren were traitors..."

"They say that the old marquis has failed the late emperor and has failed to live up to his high regard. He should be stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner...even...even our house, which was bestowed upon us by the late emperor, should be taken back..."

"All the maids and servants in the Marquis' Mansion are to be dismissed, and the old Marquis must also move out within one month..."

"But all the property under the old marquis' name has been taken away. Where can the old marquis go if he leaves the marquis' mansion?"
