After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

But before Ning Ruyan's plan could be implemented, news came from the south that a plague broke out in the Xinyang Marquis Mansion.

Now, the entire Xinyang Hou Mansion is surrounded.

In the past, the surrounding area was occupied by local dignitaries in Xinyang, but since the incident in the Hou Mansion, everyone around them has moved away in a hurry.

Fortunately, after Xia Chunlin established himself as king, he did not live in the Marquis Mansion. Instead, he used a villa of Xinyang Marquis as the Lin family's palace. He was just waiting for the disaster to pass before starting construction of a real palace.

It was also because of this that he escaped the plague.

Ning Ruyan's heart sank. The plague in the south was basically under control. There were no floods in Xinyang, so there was no disaster. The victims were not allowed to go there. It has always been safe there. So, this is Someone did it on purpose.

Who is it?
She thought of Zhang Jian first.

However, she was unable to contact Zhang Jian at this time because it was difficult to cross the Yangtze River.

In the end, she could only write a letter to Jiang Yan, hoping that if he could, he would bring out those people who were in Xinyang before. She didn't want anything to happen to them.

Jiang Yan responded quickly and said he would try his best.

Waiting was very anxious, so Ning Ruyan focused her energy on brewing wine. There are thirteen types of wine brewing in Ning's Thirteen Sides. Now she has only tried thirty kinds, and there are still some left. She will brew them one by one in this life.

As September enters, the weather starts to get cooler.

News finally came from the south. Jiang Yan led the imperial army directly across the Yangtze River and then approached Xinyang City.

Li Zhou was infected with the plague. Although he did not die, he was imprisoned in the Hou Mansion. Xia Chunlin personally led his Dashun army to fight. However, I don't know if his behavior was very unpopular, so he was facing a confrontation. That night, someone secretly opened the city gate.

Jiang Yan's troops rushed in effortlessly.

When entering the city, there was a group of people holding loudspeakers made of iron buckets and shouting, "We are all citizens of Daxia, why should we kill each other?"

At the end, everyone shouted "surrender without killing".

As a result, some of the Dashun troops threw away their weapons one after another.

One or two... Finally, they threw away their weapons piece by piece.

They are all subjects of Daxia, and they even have their own brothers in the other side's army. They really don't want to kill each other.

"Your Majesty, let's go." Lian Feng Liancheng pulled Xia Chunlin and fled.

"I can not be reconciled."

"Your Majesty, the green hills left behind will not worry about the lack of firewood."

Xia Chunlin could only nod in the end, looked back at the place behind him where he had been emperor for just a month, turned around and rode out of the city gate.

However, not far from the city gate, he had to stop.

Someone immediately blocked the road.

"Ayan, let me go." Xia Chunlin looked at the other person with a solemn expression.

"Xia Chunlin, from the time you rebelled, you had no choice but to leave." Jiang Yan looked at the other party, "Let's capture him without any effort. Maybe we can spare one life for the sake of the bond between father and son."

"Haha." Xia Chunlin smiled, "Does the royal family still have family ties?"

"It is true that the royal family has a weak relationship, but you betrayed it first, didn't you?"

"Haha, he hasn't established a crown prince yet, doesn't he want to leave the throne to you?"

"Why do you think so?" Jiang Yan frowned.

"Stop pretending to be confused while pretending to understand." Xia Chunlin sneered, "People don't tell secrets. For the sake of our years and... for the sake of our family ties, let me go."

"What about your mother-in-law?"

"I can't care about her anymore." Xia Chunlin shook his head, "But as long as I sit in that seat, I believe she will be happy." "I won't let you go. You can't beat me, so don't waste your efforts. , and don’t delay.”

"Master." Liancheng whispered to Xia Chunlin, "You go first, my subordinates will hold him back."

"It's useless." Xia Chunlin shook his head, "None of you are his opponent, and there is a large army behind him. We people... can't get through it." After saying that, he got off his horse and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. "

Jiang Yan frowned, but still had him put into the prison car.

Xia Chunlin has always been very calm, not feeling sad about failure at all.

"Master, the eldest prince is a little strange." Li Wu couldn't help but remind him.

"Yes." Jiang Yan nodded, "When you go back, be careful on the road."

Li Wu nodded.

In the capital, news has spread that the rebellious Xia Chunlin was arrested and will be taken to the capital soon.

In the court, Emperor Xia Wen finally showed a happy smile, but just as he was about to declare his decree, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"emperor……"

"His Majesty……"

The whole court suddenly became chaotic.

"Everyone, please be patient." The prince stood up in time, "This morning is over, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor."

Everyone calmed down quickly.

All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital were called into the harem. However, they all took turns to check the pulse, but they couldn't find out what the disease was. Naturally, they couldn't save her without knowing the cause.

But if the emperor doesn't wake up for a day, he will be restless for a day.

Although there is a prince who can supervise the country, the foundation is not stable after all. If time goes by, things will easily go wrong.

Fortunately, the eldest princess stood up at this time. Although she did not go to court very often, the eldest princess was granted the title by the late emperor and had Shang Fang's sword.

The prince's supervision of the country went smoothly.

Kunning Palace.

"Queen Mother." Xia Nichang knelt in front of Queen Yue, "Now should be the opportunity."

Queen Yue looked confused: "But Nishang, what if..."

"Mother, this throne should belong to us. Now Qiulin's eyesight is not good, but there is still me as the eldest princess. When will it be the turn of the third child?" Xia Nichang's face showed a look of determination, "More Besides, Ayan should be the favorite in my father’s heart, right?”

"you……"

"Queen Mother, I know everything." Xia Nichang held Empress Yue's hand, "While Jiang Yan is not in the capital, this is an excellent opportunity. If you miss it..."

"But what if your father wakes up?"

"Mother, it's up to you to decide whether you wake up or not." Xia Nichang raised her eyebrows slightly.

Queen Yue took a deep breath, stood up and paced back and forth: "Let me think about it."

Xia Nichang stood up and said, "Mother, what's there to think about? Being the crown prince is just a shield. Once Jiang Yan wants that position, it's just a matter of words. What will we do then?"

Queen Yue looked at her daughter for a long time and finally nodded: "Okay."

Xia Nichang smiled: "I'll contact my uncle right away." (End of Chapter)
