Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Cui Haoyu died directly on Consort Liu's bed. When Consort Liu was dragged out, she was still barely clothed. She frantically grabbed Qiao Yujie's leg and cried, "Your Majesty, save me! I was really wrong."

Qiao Yujie said coldly, "Consort Liu's licentious behavior in the harem is an unforgivable crime. Take her out and execute her immediately..." In just a few words, she decided the fate of the Liu family's entire clan.

Liu Meiren was utterly desperate and cursed Qiao Yujie: "Ahhh, you poisonous woman, you'll die a horrible death!"

Qiao Yujie wasn't that magnanimous; she wouldn't let anyone who harmed her get away with it.

Cui Haoyu's eyes were still big, clearly in a state of extreme excitement. They had been in love to some extent. Even if he was in a terrible state, Qiao Yujie still slowly walked over, covered Cui Haoyu's eyes with her hands, and made him close his eyes.

In the following days, Qiao Yujie arranged for Cui Haoyu's burial and then took over the position with her young son.

After taking a stroll through the national treasury, Xiong Bufan hurriedly returned to Da Cai Village with 002, fearing that Qiao Yujie would catch up with him if he was even a few minutes late. He hoped that Qiao Yujie wouldn't collapse upon seeing the empty national treasury.

Shiyi Niang peeled grapes for Xiong Bufan, then put them in his mouth, making Xiong Bufan squint his eyes in happiness.

002 felt that Cui Haoyu's death was too hasty and undignified, and the whole incident seemed absurd. She asked, "Bufan, did Cui Haoyu really die from excessive indulgence?"

Xiong Bufan didn't hide anything from 002 and said directly, "No, he was poisoned to death by Qiao Yujie."

Speaking of this, Xiong Bufan got excited. She had even helped Qiao Yujie deliver poison a few times before, otherwise Cui Haoyu wouldn't have died so quickly.

However, Qiao Yujie was truly ruthless, truly embodying the spirit of "If you are heartless, I will kill you."

Although 002 had already guessed the truth, hearing Xiong Bufan say it still sent chills down her spine. Qiao Yujie was truly ruthless. Not only did she murder her husband, but she also arranged for him to die in such a way and eliminated an opponent as a warning to others.

Xiong Bufan kindly said to Shiyi Niang, "If you get married in the future and can't stand your husband, give me money and I'll kill him for you."

Shiyi Niang paused in peeling the grapes and said, "Thank you, Chief."

Kongkong rolled his eyes and said to Xiong Bufan, "You'd better have some hope, the girl isn't even married yet."

Xiong Bufan thought for a moment and then said, "I'll give you a discount; it only costs three taels of gold."

Eleven-Niang put down the grapes, sighed, and said, "Master, I have no plans to get married."

Xiong Bufan turned to 002 and said, "If you get married and can't stand your husband, you can ask me to kill him."

I'll take thirty taels of gold from you.

002 thought Xiong Bufan had lost his mind again. She must have been out of her mind to think Xiong Bufan was smart in the first place. She gritted her teeth and said, "I am a man, I will not have a husband, and I like women."

"Alright," Xiong Bufan said with a hint of regret.

Qiao Yujie had assisted Cui Haoyu in managing the country for three years. Although she was still unfamiliar with the throne after taking it over, she was trying her best to get used to it.

Power is a good thing; otherwise, Qiao Yujie and Cui Haoyu wouldn't have fought each other to the death.

The eldest prince had been poisoned by Qiao Yujie while Cui Haoyu was still alive, and almost all of the late emperor's other princes were also dead. Otherwise, Qiao Yujie would not have been able to put her son on the throne so easily.

The imperial edict was quickly sent to Da Cai Village, and Xiong Bufan was granted the title of Princess Ding'an Protector of the Nation, making her second only to the emperor and her salary doubled.

Those concubines in the palace who had offended Qiao Yujie were sent to the family temple, while those who had not offended her were allowed to fake their deaths and escape according to their wishes, or spend their long lives in the palace receiving a fixed salary.

However, I recently heard that Qiao Yujie is opening a women's academy, and the next step will probably be to allow women to participate in the imperial examinations.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Xiong Bufan listened to 002's report. He was surprised that Qiao Yujie had actually done it. She truly deserved to be called the daughter of the Heavenly Dao. Xiong Bufan didn't mind doing Qiao Yujie a favor and said to 002, "If Qiao Yujie wants us to do anything, our people will cooperate. Except for going to Da Cai Zhai, you don't need to ask me about anything else."

"it is good"

Xiong Bufan and 002 have always lived on the mountain, and except for watching the excitement and attending palace banquets, they basically never come down the mountain.

However, Xiong Bufan always acted like a bandit descending from the mountain whenever he attended a palace banquet. He not only packed up food but also stole gold and silver wine vessels from the table. When he went too far, he would even sneak into Qiao Yujie's private vault and steal her treasures.

Qiao Yujie gradually stopped inviting Xiong Bufan down the mountain to attend palace banquets, but she would give Xiong Bufan some money for the New Year to avoid making him unhappy.

Xiong Bufan wouldn't care whether he attended the palace banquet or not once he received the silver; it was much more comfortable to collect the silver at home than to go to the palace for a banquet.

Time flies, and sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiong Bufan stood guard by 002's bedside, unusually not eating anything, just quietly looking at 002 and saying, "Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

002: "I'm going to die, aren't you going to say something to me?"

As a brown bear aspiring to become an immortal, Xiong Bufan has experienced too many partings. It seems that the long journey has only brought her partings. At this moment, she doesn't know what to say, so she can only scratch her head and say, "Would you like some water or snacks?"

"No, I'll just look at you like this, so that I can recognize you sooner in the next life, and we won't have to suffer so much in our childhood."

"I won't have a next life," Xiong Bufan said, but then swallowed the words back. She felt that telling the truth was a bit too cruel. She simply patted 002 on the shoulder and said, "If there is a next life, I will definitely recognize you before you do."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to find me."

Don't go looking for Su Beichen. That kid's martial arts skills are very high; he doesn't need your protection.

Xiong Bufan said sullenly, "I know."

After hearing the satisfactory answer, 002 closed her eyes contentedly, and her arms slowly drooped down.

The relationship between 002 and Xiong Bufan cannot be measured by simple love. 002's feelings for Xiong Bufan are more of an attachment, and she wants to keep Xiong Bufan by her side through marriage.

Xiong Bufan sat next to 002 for a long time, and finally shouted towards the door: "The second-in-command has passed away."

The people from Da Cai Zhai came in one after another to make arrangements for 002's funeral, but they were more concerned about Xiong Bufan's condition. As far as they knew, the second-in-command and the first-in-command had depended on each other for decades.

Eleventh Sister, who was over seventy years old, helped Xiong Bufan leave 002's room, saying as they walked, "Boss, please accept my condolences."

"I don't need to grieve, I'm perfectly fine."

Shiyi Niang felt that Xiong Bufan was just being stubborn. How could he not care about the sudden death of someone he had been with for decades?
