Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 242
On the morning of May 26, Bi Rong asked the court lady beside her to help her dress up. She knew that she had reached her limit, and it might not be long.Under the skillful hands of the court lady, Bi Rong was dressed up beautifully.After a while, Chu Xuyao ​​went out and hasn't come back yet.Bi Rong staggered a bit, and with the help of the maid, she returned to the bed and lay down.She was lying on the bed, scenes of the past in her mind, like a tide.Now she has nothing to worry about, these seven days are the happiest days in her life.The son's marriage has also been arranged. Yuxian is a good person and should be able to take good care of Haoyu. "It's time to go. Xu Yao, if there is an afterlife, I would like to continue our relationship with you." Bi Rong slowly closed her eyes, "I'm so tired, I can finally have a good sleep."

Chu Xuyao ​​originally didn't want to leave his wife, but just now the chief eunuch came to report that there was a major event in the court.The left and right prime ministers and the six ministers all asked for an audience outside the palace gate, so they had to go to the imperial study and summoned all the ministers.It turned out that it was Fengyun's side, the old emperor passed away, and the new emperor ascended the throne, and sent envoys, wanting to repair the two countries.Chu Xuyao ​​arranged for the interview, so he hurried back to the gate of Zhaoyang Hall, saw all the maids standing outside the gate, and asked what was going on.

"Your Majesty, just now the empress asked us to help her dress up, and then let us all come out, she wants to be alone." A maid said.

Xu Yao knew something was wrong, so he hurried inside, entered the room, saw the person lying on the bed, and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but found something was wrong.Stretching out his hand under Bi Rong's nose, he was no longer breathing. "Rong'er." Xu Yao shouted. "Go and invite Doctor Fang."

As soon as the people outside heard about it, they knew something had happened, and hurriedly asked people to go out to find Fang Yun.For the past few days Fang Yun lived in the palace and gave Bi Rong medicine.Soon, Fang Yun arrived, came to Bi Rong's side, felt his pulse, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, my condolences, Rong'er has left."

Chu Xuyao ​​picked up Bi Rong, and cried out in pain, "No, Rong'er, my Rong'er, why did you just leave like this?" He hugged his lover's body that was getting colder and colder tightly.

Haoyu and Yuxian also came in. They lived with Fang Yun in the palace. When the palace servants called Fang Yun just now, they followed behind.Haoyu stepped forward, knelt down in front of his mother, and cried loudly: "Mother."

Tears could not stop falling from Yuxian's eyes. "Auntie, don't worry, I will take good care of Haoyu, no matter whether we can be together in three years or not, I will take good care of him for you." Yuxian said in her heart.

Bi Rong's death had been known to everyone for a long time, but at this moment, everyone was still very sad.Chu Xuyao ​​hugged Bi Rong, "declare the decree, the queen's funeral, and the whole country mourns for March." A eunuch went out to announce the decree, and Chu Xuyao ​​just hugged Bi Rong like this, and refused to let go for a long time.

On the fifth day of Emperor Cangyu's wedding, when the common people were still talking about the excitement of the emperor's marriage, news of the queen's funeral suddenly came.For a moment, the people in the entire capital were talking about this unlucky beauty.Later, someone reported the love story between the emperor and the empress, which made people admire the woman who had been waiting for 16 years.People all forgot that she used to be someone else's wife, and that the relationship between her and the emperor was a love affair.Someone even wrote a book and biography for her, which became the focus of everyone's discussion for a while.

In the palace, everything is white, Haoyu has been kneeling in front of his mother's spirit, refusing to leave.Yuxian has been by Haoyu's side all the time, wearing hemp and mourning for Haoyu's mother.Looking at Haoyu who was getting haggard day by day, Yuxian only felt distressed in her heart.At this moment, she finally understood that Haoyu existed in her heart, and the ten years of getting along with her had left an indelible mark in her heart after all.

Haoyu knelt in front of his mother's spirit for seven days without eating or drinking, and finally passed out, and was sent back to his residence.Yuxian stood by the bed, looking at the sleeping Haoyu, she couldn't help holding his hand. "Haoyu, you have to cheer up, my aunt is in the spirit of the sky, she won't want you to torture yourself like this. I can't bear it either, seeing you like this." Yuxian said in a low voice.

Haoyu slept for a day and a night before waking up.Opening his eyes, he saw a person lying in front of him, it turned out to be Yuxian.Haoyu sat up gently, looked at Yuxian's sleeping face, "Yuxian, when will you fall in love with me?" Haoyu got off the ground gently, and then slowly moved Yuxian to the bed , covered Yuxian with a quilt, and went out quietly.

After seven or seven days, Bi Rong's coffin was buried in the imperial mausoleum with the empress's ceremony.This funeral has come to an end.Haoyu has to keep his filial piety for three years, and Yuxian also stays in the capital.Jun Ye found someone to send a letter to his family, telling his parents everything in the capital.When Fang and Yun Song learned about Haoyu's life experience, they were all shocked.However, what is even more surprising is Haoyu's thoughts on Yuxian. Fang has always been optimistic about Haoyu, but this Haoyu's identity makes Fang a little worried.

After burying Bi Rong, Chu Xuyao ​​ordered Haoyu to be the crown prince in the court hall.For a time, the government and the public were shaken, and veterans in the court wrote letters to oppose it.The reason is nothing more than that Haoyu is an illegitimate child, and it is not suitable for inheriting the great lineage.Some even doubted Haoyu's life experience, after all, Fang Birong was Xu Tianlei's wife.

Chu Xuyao ​​was furious in the court hall and asked Haoyu to take off his shirt in front of civil and military officials, and Chu Xuyao ​​also took off his own shirt, revealing the red dragon-shaped birthmark on the back of the father and son.For a while, there was silence in the hall.

"Why don't you talk anymore? Everyone is dumb? What about the ability just now, aren't they pretty good at talking?" Chu Xuyao ​​put on his clothes and sat down on the dragon chair again. "This red dragon-shaped birthmark is my Cangyu, a symbol of the emperors of all dynasties. I was only the third prince back then, and neither the eldest prince nor the second prince had this birthmark, so the queen at that time framed me repeatedly. In the end, my father In order to protect me, the emperor demoted me to the Northwest for 15 years. Now Haoyu also has a birthmark on his body, what else can you say? Do you want to ignore the family law of your ancestors and treat me like Cangyu? Are you ignoring the century-old country? Today the establishment of the reserve is a foregone conclusion, whoever dares to say more will just withdraw and chop it off." He was in a bad mood at first, and these people dared to provoke him, and he was getting impatient.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are completely silent now, who dares to say anything?Besides, he would be beheaded.Only one dragon-shaped birthmark is produced in each generation of the royal family. It is the ancestor's rule to have a birthmark as the emperor.Who dared to have any objections, so they stopped talking.

In this way, Haoyu was established as the prince and given to live in the East Palace.

After Bi Rong's death, Chu Xuyao ​​had been in a state of despair, and the envoys who came from Fengyun were just thrown in the posthouse, and no one cared about him.Finally, one day, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites remembered this and talked about it in the morning court.The emperor also remembered at this time, and hurriedly sent an order to summon the envoys to have an audience.Fengyun's hard-working envoy finally got the chance to meet Emperor Cangyu.He brought the letter of credence of Fengyun's new king, which said that he was willing to repair the two countries, and wanted to marry his sister to Cang Yu, so that the two countries would be good forever.Chu Xuyao ​​wrote back to Fengyun's monarch, saying that he already had a queen and would not marry anyone except the queen.In the end, he brought a lot of northern specialties to the envoy to express the goodwill of the two countries.

The envoy returned to Fengyun with the things and the letter, and explained everything to the emperor of Fengyun, and told about the situation that Cangyu's empress had just died and the crown prince was newly established.The emperor of Fengyun is only in his 20s, and upon hearing that Cangyu's prince is only 16 years old, it is a good time for marriage.So they sent envoys to Cangyu again, hoping to marry the two countries, but this time the target was Haoyu.

The envoy of Fengyun had an audience with him again, and presented him with generous gifts, and at the same time expressed the meaning of the emperor of Fengyun Kingdom.As the prince, Haoyu was going to court with his father, and when he heard this, he immediately expressed his disapproval.He only has Yuxian in his heart, and he doesn't want to marry another woman.The emperor also understood him. Just as he was about to reject Fengyun's envoy, the two prime ministers stood up. "Your Majesty, it has just been one year since His Majesty ascended the throne, and Fengyun is also the new king. It is a great opportunity for the two countries to reconcile. Your Majesty must think about it. The prince is not alone, he is the future monarch of Cang Yu, and his Tens of millions of Cangyu people are tied to their bodies. Such a simple method can make the two countries forever united, this is a blessing for the two countries, and it is not allowed to ruin such a major event for one's own selfishness."

Haoyu looked at the two old men bitterly. The two of them have been against him since the establishment of the crown prince, and now they still want to make trouble. "Father, before my mother passed away, I have already arranged a marriage for my child. After three years, when my child's filial piety expires, he will marry Yuxian. My child does not want to marry another person, please forgive me."

Just as the emperor was about to speak, the prime minister spoke first. "His Royal Highness, this statement is wrong. Since ancient times, all men have three wives and four concubines. What's more, the crown prince is the heir of the country, and the future emperor will have three palaces and six courts, with countless concubines. Marrying one more is not good for the prince. Influence." He wholeheartedly wanted to persuade Haoyu to agree.

Haoyu turned his head and looked at the Prime Minister on the right, "Master Li, you should know that Haoyu's mother has passed away in less than two months. Haoyu is very filial, and even the marriage that his mother ordered must be married after three years. What's more, now? Haoyu is attending the funeral for his mother, and he doesn't know how to talk about marriage, so he asked Fengyun's envoy to go back and report to your lord." Haoyu bowed to the envoy.

This envoy of Fengyun is also a sensible person, of course he understands now that Cang Yu's crown prince already has a lover and he is not willing to marry another person. "The princess of our country, with golden branches and jade leaves, is outstanding in appearance. She should be a good match for the prince. I wonder which dear daughter is the prince's favorite?" Could it be that the princess of a country is not as good as the daughter of a minister?
