Chapter 247 Chapter 245 Ending
When the fine snowflakes fell one after another, a secret news spread quietly in Bianjing - the official's health was not good.

Although there have been rumors for a long time that the official's health is not as good as one day, but in the end they are just rumors and there is no evidence, so everyone is just waiting and watching, and there is no action yet.

But this time it was different. This time it was confirmed by the imperial doctors in the palace, and not only one of the imperial doctors said that Guan Jia was not in good health, but almost the entire hospital believed that Guan Jia would not be able to survive this winter.

If the official family cannot survive, to whom will the throne be passed on?

Should we choose a decent-looking child from the Huang clan to adopt, or should we bet on whether the child in the queen's belly would be a boy or a girl?
This question lingers in everyone's mind, but no one dares to ask it rashly. The officials in the imperial court were actually still waiting to see how things would develop. They did not think that the news of the official's serious illness would be leaked out so easily. There must be something inside.

Queen Wang Qin was as stable as a rock. She had planned everything long ago and concluded that the official family had no ability to turn around, so she released the news.

"Mother, are we doing it too early? The prince has not yet been born, and the dust has not yet settled. If the news of the official's illness is leaked so early, what will happen if those princes are ready to take action?" Leng Xiang was a little worried. .

The Queen smiled and said: "That's what I had in mind. I just wanted to use the news that the official was seriously ill to hook out those people with itchy hands and claws, and catch them all in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles!"

The queen was ambitious, and the result was exactly as the queen expected. Not long after the news came out that the official family was seriously ill, the princes of various fiefdoms could no longer sit still.

The more calm-tempered ones asked to see the officials and come to the palace to attend to the illness, while the more reckless ones began to make wild claims, believing that they were the best among the brothers and that the throne belonged to them.

The queen looked coldly at these princes jumping up and down like clowns, and secretly deployed her capable men to close the net.

As the official family became seriously ill, various princes also began to plunder the throne. Unfortunately, they missed a move and were eventually suppressed by the Queen's thunderous tactics.

In the process, the queen also found out that the real culprit behind the Taiping Religion was Li Cong, the eldest brother of the official family. He had facial blemishes due to chickenpox infection when he was young, so he missed the throne and was only canonized as King Jing. The huge loss made him resent the official family and try to find an opportunity to seize the throne, so he planned the Taiping Sect, intending to brainwash the followers and gain help to overthrow the official family.

Unexpectedly, Xie Huaichu and Ji Yutang went to the Taiping Cult, which made deputy leader Feng Youqi suspicious of the past. After his investigation, he understood everything, and naturally became the queen's secret help.

It's just that although Feng Youqi knew that his former lover was the current queen and that Xie Huaichu was his biological son, he did not reveal the truth. Instead, he disguised his identity to help the queen settle everything, and then quietly left Bianjing, and then No trace of him is known.

After the queen dealt with everything vigorously and resolutely, she began to carry out drastic reforms, vigorously supported the education of the Xia Dynasty, opened bookstores, encouraged farming and commerce, and boldly tried to trade with neighboring countries. The agriculture, economy, education, etc. of the Great Xia Dynasty all improved step by step.

As for the official, he has been bedridden, and occasionally he is allowed to show up to prove that he is still alive. But in fact, the power of the entire Daxia government was gradually in the hands of the queen, and everyone from the court officials to the royal family members gradually felt that the queen was handling things appropriately and gradually became convinced of the queen.

In June of the following year, the queen "gave birth" to a healthy little prince, and the official family gradually declined with everyone's tacit understanding.

"Little sister, what did Mr. Xie say? How is he going to get married?" Wenjuan asked Ji Yutang with a frown, while gently patting the back of the young girl in her arms.

Ji Yutang reached out and took the cute little niece into his arms, making faces at her to make her laugh, and the two of them giggled.

"Hey, little sister, I have a question for you! Mr. Xie separated from his family, and his mother also divorced his father, which means he has no elders above him. So what are you two going to do about your marriage?" Wenjuan frowned.

The eldest brother of the Ji family was busy working aside. When he heard Wenjuan's words, he dropped what he was doing and walked over.

"Little sister, your sister-in-law said the same thing. You and Mr. Xie are in love, and you are not young anymore. It is time to get married. Mr. Xie's family is a bit complicated, but our family will not look down on it because of this. "He, please ask him to find ways to find elders in the family to help with wedding arrangements. Although our family doesn't value ostentation, it can't be too shabby." The eldest brother of the Ji family vaguely felt that something was different about his sister, but these days. After getting along with him, he just thought it was because he had been away from home for too long and left his sister to take care of the house alone, so he forced her to think about it quickly. From then on, I only felt guilty for Ji Yutang and never doubted her.

The second brother of the Ji family helped: "Brother is right. Even if our family doesn't pay attention to ostentation, we still need to have the proper etiquette, not even a little bit less. Little sister, if you feel embarrassed to tell Mr. Xie directly, Let me go and tell you." Ji Yutang originally wanted to avoid their questioning, but these people surrounded her tightly today, looking like they would never give up.

"Oh, it's not that I don't want to tell Mr. Xie, it's just that he has been in some trouble these past few days. I'll talk about it in a few days," Ji Yutang said.

"Really?"

"What trouble is that?"

"It's probably a recent case. I heard that Dali Temple is very busy these days."...

Seeing a few people chattering and discussing, they put their own matters aside for the time being. Ji Yutang hugged his little niece to look at the flowers, and he breathed a sigh of relief, which could be regarded as covering up the topic.

That's right, Ji Yutang has not yet planned to talk to Xie Huaichu about the marriage, because she is not sure whether Xie Huaichu will recognize the queen and her son. Ji Yutang doesn't want to live in that kind of environment. She just wants to live comfortably and peacefully. Those prosperous lives are too far away from her.

At the same time, the queen was confronting Xie Huaichu.

"Empress, I only want to do what I need to do with all my heart and with all my heart, and I only want to investigate the case, and don't think about anything else." Xie Huaichu broke the deadlock.

"It doesn't matter, after all, our mother and son have a bad relationship." After all, the queen did not choose to recognize Xie Huaichu.

Xie Huaichu moved his lips and hid a sentence in his throat. That was a letter Feng Youqi wrote to himself on the day he left Bianjing. He already knew everything, but in the letter he asked Xie Huaichu to forget everything and pretend that they, a pair of irresponsible parents, had never existed.

"We wish the queen good health and eternal life."

The queen was silent for a long time, and finally asked Xie Huaichu to leave the palace and live the life she wanted to live.

The first thing Xie Huaichu did after leaving the palace was to go to Ji's house.

Ji Yutang was holding a bowl of mutton soup and eating enthusiastically, sweating on the tip of his nose.

"Ms. Ji, I will ask the Xie family members to come to your house tomorrow to propose marriage!" Xie Huaichu excitedly said to Ji Yutang as soon as he entered the door.

The Ji family members were all stunned, and the daughter in the arms of the eldest brother of the Ji family was also stunned.

Ji Yutang laughed twice, trying to ease the embarrassment: "Master Xie, have you had dinner?"

Xie Huaichu showed the smile he had when he first visited Ji's house. It was so gentle and familiar, like the sunshine in early spring, warm but not dazzling.

"Then I'll be bothering you."

Ji Yutang muttered in a low voice: "If you are so serious, you will be troubled for the rest of your life."
