Chapter 139 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace - Gao Xiyue Ends

Watching the Queen Mother die in front of them, the Emperor and Xiyue, the royal couple, did not feel any major fluctuations in their emotions. The Emperor had been dissatisfied with the Queen Mother for a long time, and now that she was dead, there was no one to point fingers at him because of filial piety. Apart from the regret that he did not get the antidote, the Emperor only felt relieved.

Not to mention Xiyue. The Queen Mother in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace was not only the real murderer who killed Trader No. 4 in the previous life, but also the one who had been trying every means to make trouble for Xiyue in this life. After the Queen Mother died, Xiyue had no other emotions except being a little annoyed by the funeral ceremony.

After the empress dowager's funeral, the emperor observed mourning for a few days and then resumed his normal behavior of entering and leaving the harem. The ministers were dissatisfied with this but no one dared to criticize him. The emperor, who was now in his prime, had already held great power. Although he could not be said to be self-willed, he did prefer to hear good words and avoid bad advice.

At Xiyue's suggestion, the emperor made many appointments in the harem. Concubine Chun Su Lujun became Concubine Chun, Concubine Wan Chen Wanyin became Concubine Wan, Hailan was promoted from Concubine Yu to Concubine Yu, and Lu Muping and Bai Ruiji became Concubine Qing and Concubine Mei respectively because the empress dowager had died and the emperor was no longer afraid of them. As for the other concubines, most of them were promoted one level. Because A Ruo was a maidservant beside Ruyi, the emperor thought of her betrayal when he saw her. Ruyi was not happy to see her and never favored her. She is still Concubine Shen.

The emperor was tired of looking at the concubines in the palace. Xiyue was not jealous of the emperor's selection of beauties. It was just that after two consecutive selections, the emperor was not very satisfied with the beauties selected into the palace. In this life, Wei Yanwan served the eldest prince well and was not tortured much. Therefore, she had no intention of currying favor with the emperor, and she is still serving as the chief maid beside the eldest prince.

Princess Duanshu remarried as usual. The Empress Dowager had long since passed away. The Emperor did not care how humiliating it was for the Princess to remarry the murderer of her husband. He just wanted to save trouble. Balin was a powerful enemy of Junggar. In order to balance the various tribes, the Emperor summoned Balin's daughter to the palace and named her Yingpin.

After entering the palace, Yingpin still kept talking about "Mongol forces" as in the plot. Xiyue was not scared by her. She directly ordered someone to slap her in the face and asked the emperor to question whether Bahrain County was as Yingpin said. If there was anything wrong with Yingpin, the emperor would have to ride south.

Yingpin's father was so frightened that he quickly wrote a letter to apologize and asked whether a Mongolian woman could be replaced into the palace.

Xiyue completely tore off Yingpin's tiger skin. After that, Yingpin finally lost her unruly look. Not long after, Mongolia sent Yupin into the palace. Yupin was very capable and was very favored after entering the palace. Fortunately, Xiyue's authority was there, and no matter how favored Yupin was, she did not interrupt the peace of the harem. For so many years, no concubine in the harem had been pregnant, and the concubines had privately guessed that the emperor could no longer have children.

Xiyue and Hailan both taught Yongqi. Now Yongqi is a teenager. He admires his adoptive mother very much, not only because Hailan always speaks highly of Xiyue's good points, but also because Xiyue's personal charm makes Yongqi unable to help but yearn for her.

Xiyue did not intend to train a puppet emperor, so when she taught Yongqi, she would always teach him more about being a monarch. The emperor had always been living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and even though he only had three sons, he was still unwilling to teach them.

Especially as Yongqi and Yongzhang grow older, the emperor's fear of them becomes more and more obvious. Xiyue is still waiting for the opportunity. Not long after, the Han tribe presents the emperor with rare white jade and a portrait of Han Ti's daughter Han Xiangjian, wanting to present her to the emperor. The emperor has long heard that Han Xiangjian is as beautiful as a fairy and is deeply loved by the Junggar tribe. He immediately ordered Zhaohui to send her to the palace. Han Xiangjian set out to the palace, and her fiancé Han Qi chased her all the way. Unexpectedly, they encountered an avalanche. Han Xiangjian watched Han Qi buried in the sea of ​​snow, and she was heartbroken.

Zhao Hui escorted Han Xiangjian to the capital from afar. The emperor held a banquet to welcome Han Xiangjian, and all the concubines in the palace were present. Han Xiangjian took off her veil, and everyone present was amazed by her coldness and beauty. The emperor was even more fascinated and stared at her in a daze. Han Xiangjian was ordered to perform the dance of the Han tribe. She danced in the middle, and her wonderful dance steps once again touched the emperor's heart. The emperor praised her and his joy was beyond words. The emperor was watching intently, but he didn't expect Han Xiangjian to suddenly draw a knife and want to commit suicide, and follow her fiancé Han Qi away.

How could the beauty be gone before she even got into his mouth? The emperor rushed forward to stop Han Xiangjian regardless of his own safety. Seeing this, Xiyue knew that the time she had been waiting for had come.

"Han Xiangjian stabbed the emperor in the heart with a knife."

As Xiyue's barely audible words fell, Han Xiangjian suddenly felt a surge of resentment towards the emperor, "If it wasn't for his own fiancé, he wouldn't have died! Kill him and avenge Han Qi!"

As Han Xiangjian stabbed the emperor with the knife, he vomited blood and fell to the ground, not breathing. Han Xiangjian came to her senses and finally remembered what she had just done. She looked around, found a direction, rushed straight towards it, and hit her head against the wall and died.

"Ah!" Everyone present exclaimed at the scene happening before their eyes, and Queen Xiyue 'had to' step forward to take charge of the situation.

The emperor died in front of everyone without any conspiracy or intrigue. Xiyue immediately sent someone to invite the minister of military affairs in to explain the situation. While arranging the funeral for the emperor, she also sent Quanxiao to retrieve the imperial edict left by the emperor under the plaque of "Guangmingzhengda" in the Yangxin Palace.

Not long after, Yongqi ascended the throne, Xiyue became the Queen Mother Empress Dowager, and Hailan became the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. Although Concubine Chungui regretted that Yongzhang was not the heir according to the imperial edict, she was not so regretful now that she could leave the palace and live with her son.

After Xiyue helped Yongqi stabilize the court, she left the palace with Moxin, Xingxuan, Quanxiao, Jinbao, Shuangxi and others, despite everyone's requests to stay. Trader No. 4 had never wanted to become the empress dowager. Xiyue only took the position of empress dowager step by step in order to have freedom in the palace.

Now that all of Trader No. 4's enemies have been dealt with, Xiyue doesn't want to be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life. She plans to travel around the world. As for being a regent like in her previous life, Xiyue thought about it and decided to forget it. She is just a passer-by, why should she bear these responsibilities? There is no need to try again if she has already tried it. She is not really that power-hungry person.

Hai Lan looked at Xiyue's leaving back with tears in her eyes and was unwilling to return to the palace for a long time. She also wanted to leave with her sister, but her sister said that she was the queen mother now and no one would bully her anymore, so she was unwilling to take her away with her.

Ruyi is still struggling to survive. Over the years, she and the deposed Ling Yunche have been living in the cold palace. They went from supporting each other to feeling guilty about each other and finally to being disgusted with each other.

Suddenly, she heard the bell ringing for the emperor's death, and Ruyi realized that Hongli was dead. Her young man was dead forever. She didn't know what to feel for a moment. She didn't seem very sad, but tears still flowed uncontrollably.

Seeing Ruyi crying, Ling Yunche couldn't help but stepped forward and taunted: "Why, Master Yi, are you still thinking about the emperor? Haha, it's a pity, no matter how much you regret, you can only live in this cold palace with a useless person like me in this life!"
