As Su Niyue said, three days later, the two brothers received the imperial edict calling them back to Beijing. On their way back to Beijing, the emperor died.
While the whole country was mourning, Chu Xiao and Chu Yuan also arrived in the capital holding secret edicts and inheritance edicts.
Seven days later, Chu Yuan successfully ascended the throne. Su Niyue and Nangong Yunteng hid in the dark and witnessed the entire process. They were also fortunate that although the emperor was a wretched man, he did have two good sons. Before leaving, Su Niyue returned all the gold and silver treasures that had been swept away from the treasury back to the treasury and the emperor's private treasury. These things were not touched by Su Niyue.
Chu Yuan wore a dragon robe and stood in the main hall. The first imperial edict he issued was to restore Nangong Yunteng's reputation. At the same time, the emperor's confession was also made public. The confession clearly stated how the former emperor used the second prince to forge letters of collaboration with the enemy to convict Nangong Yunteng.
While the civil and military officials were shocked, the people were also astonished. No one expected that the emperor would write a confession to himself before he died.
Originally, Chu Yuan wanted to reinstate Nangong Yunteng to his post, but Su Niyue and Nangong Yunteng were unwilling. They liked their current life, the Taoyuan Valley, and the people there even more.
When Nangong Yunteng received the imperial edict, Su Niyue was so happy that Taoyuan Valley celebrated for three days. Nangong's family, including Nangong Yunteng's maternal grandfather's family, were all very excited.
Chu Xiao finally got his wish and took his mother-in-law, Concubine Rong, to live in Taoyuan Valley. Su Niyue specially prepared a courtyard for them. Concubine Rong never dreamed that one day she would be able to live with her son. Such a paradise to spend your old age in. All the suffering in the palace in this life was worth it.
That night, Su Niyue and Nangong Yunteng brought Chu Xiao and wine and food to the emperor's study room. The appearance of the three of them gave Chu Yuan a big surprise. They had not seen each other for a long time.
From the moment he ascended the throne, Chu Yuan began to rectify the affairs of the court and take care of everything. However, even though he was so busy that he could only sleep for two hours a day, he never forgot every detail of his life in Taoyuan Valley. Especially, there was someone he cared about there.
The four of them sat around a small table on the floor of the royal study room. The table was filled with Chu Yuan's favorite food and drinks. It was a rare occasion for them to have a good chat over wine, and Chu Yuan relaxed. He knew that the sudden extra things in the treasury must have been given to him by Su Niyue. His gratitude could not be expressed in words. He could only try his best to be a good emperor, which was also Su Niyue's wish.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chu Yuan finally couldn't hold it any longer. He looked at Nangong Yunteng and Su Niyue and said, "Brother Yunteng, sister-in-law, I have something to ask you." He knew that if he didn't say it now, he would get it next time. When he saw them again, he didn't know how many days he would have to stay up. After all, Lingnan was three thousand miles away. If he went there in person, he would have to wait for the things at hand to be finished. But if something went wrong during this period, he would regret it for the rest of his life. .
Su Niyue knew what Chu Yuan was going to say as soon as she heard what he said. She smiled and said nothing, and glanced at Nangong Yunteng. Nangong Yunteng also understood that during this period, Yunran would always find various excuses to talk to him. Ask about Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan took out the sachet in his sleeve pocket and held it in his hand with great treasure. He looked at the sachet and said, "I want to marry Yunran and make her my queen. I want her to be a couple for the rest of my life!"
Nangong Yunteng was shocked. He originally didn't want his only sister to marry the emperor. After all, once she entered the harem, it was as deep as the sea. His sister was inexperienced and innocent. She would definitely be bullied once she entered the harem, but he He never expected that Chu Yuan would be willing to give up three thousand beauties for Yun Ran.
Su Niyue was also surprised, but she was even happier. In fact, not only Nangong Yunteng did not expect, but neither she nor Chu Xiao expected that Chu Yuan would care so deeply for Yunran.
"Well done, my sister-in-law saw you right!" Su Niyue also patted Chu Yuan on the shoulder.
The Dark Dragon Guards hidden on the roof were startled. Although they had been frightened several times today, they were still not used to it. Prince Ning would not mention the few people who suddenly appeared in the imperial study. The other two not only did not kneel down, but also called the emperor by his first name. I even call myself brothers and sisters with the emperor. Moreover, the emperor doesn’t need me to call myself myself.
"Sister-in-law, do you agree?" Chu Yuan knew that Nangong Yunteng listened to Su Niyue, and as long as Su Niyue agreed, he would have won half the battle.
"Hey, I can't just agree. You have to ask Yunran himself!" Su Niyue glanced at Nangong Yunteng, and Nangong Yunteng nodded. Chu Yuan had already said that he would only marry Yunran, so he had no other requirements. .
"I'm afraid of long nights and many dreams. I want to propose marriage in person but I can't leave now. I hope brother Yunteng and sister-in-law can help me send a message to Yun Ran and ask her to wait for me. I'll come to propose marriage in person in half a year at most!"
Now not only Su Niyue was moved, but also Nangong Yunteng was moved. Chu Xiao even admired his brother's courage. It seemed that it was right to make him the emperor.
Su Niyue and Nangong Yunteng looked at each other, and their opinions were instantly unified.
"Why don't you tell her in person?" As soon as Su Niyue finished speaking, she disappeared.
Chu Yuan was still thinking about the meaning of Su Niyue's words. His eyes flashed and Su Niyue disappeared. Only then did he understand what the words meant. Chu Yuan was a little nervous, his palms were sweaty, and he was unsteady sitting on the ground, drinking beer one mouthful at a time.
Soon, Su Niyue appeared in front of everyone with Yunran: "Here, I brought it to you, tell her in person!"
Chu Yuan suddenly stood up from the ground, the surprise in his eyes spread to his face. Although he knew very well what Su Niyue had done, he was still extremely nervous when he actually saw the person he thought about day and night.
Nangong Yunteng also got up and walked to Yun Ran. Yun Ran was still a little unable to react. She only heard her sister-in-law tell her to take her to meet someone. In the blink of an eye, the person was here. Even now, she is still a little unable to react.
Although there were people she knew and were familiar with in front of her, she was still a little confused. She looked at Chu Yuan with a blank expression, and her heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably.
"Yunran, Chu Yuan has something to say to you!"
Yunran heard what his brother said, but he couldn't move his eyes away. He looked so good-looking in his dragon robe.
"Yunran..." Nangong Yunteng wanted to say something else, but Su Niyue pulled him away.
"Didn't you see that both of them have stringy eyes?" Su Niyue also scolded.
"Oh oh oh!" Nangong Yunteng touched his nose, pulled Su Niyue to sit back at the small table, and continued drinking and chatting with Chu Xiao.
Chu Yuan and Yun Ran looked at each other for a moment before Chu Yuan reacted, strode over, pulled Yun Ran and walked inside. It was only then that Yunran was sure that he was not dreaming.
When Su Niyue raised her glass to toast Chu Xiao, the glass was snatched away by Nangong Yunteng. He didn't dare to let her drink at this time. If she got drunk, these people would have to live here today. .
When Su Niyue saw that Nangong Yunteng had snatched her wine, she wanted to snatch it back. How could such a big happy event go without drinking?
But when she just turned around to grab the wine glass, the world started spinning. Fortunately, she was sitting on the ground, and she was caught by Nangong Yunteng as soon as her body went limp.
Nangong Yunteng originally thought that Su Niyue did it on purpose. After all, she was as strong as a calf now. She had eaten a lot and slept a lot recently, and she had grown a circle of flesh around her waist. But when she saw Su Niyue's face , I was panicking. Because Su Niyue has special powers and has been taking spiritual spring water for a long time, her physical fitness is different from ordinary people. She has never been sick. But what is the situation? She can't care less in the emergency.
"Yunran, come and see your sister-in-law..." Nangong Yunteng was scared, and his voice changed when he called Yunran.
Yunran knew something was wrong as soon as he heard his elder brother's voice. He shook off Chu Yuan's hand and ran out. As soon as he came out, he saw Su Niyue leaning against Nangong Yunteng, and her face was very bad.
Although Yunran has only learned medical skills for less than two years, she is extremely talented and easy to learn, and now simple diseases can no longer trouble her. Then he stretched out his hand to feel her sister-in-law's pulse. Yunran's brows were originally furrowed, but they gradually relaxed after using the other hand. Moreover, the corners of her mouth raised: "Brother, sister-in-law, she..." Yunran deliberately did not finish the sentence.
Nangong Yunteng was so anxious that he was sweating. He didn't notice Yunran's expression at all. His heart was focused on Su Niyue: "What's wrong with...?"
"Brother, sister-in-law is Ximai, you are going to be a father!"
