Empress Chu

The imperial guard ignored what the officials said, turned around and left, and soon the team of officials moved out of the way again, and under the guidance of the imperial guard, Chu Zhao hurried over.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

The noisy officials fell silent for a moment, averting their eyes.

Deng Yi didn't say anything, he just said: "Your Majesty is looking for you, go and have a look."

Chu Zhao didn't ask too much, and nodded: "Okay."

She passed the crowd and went forward, Deng Yi called out again: "The Empress."

Chu Zhao looked back at him.

Deng Yi looked at her with deep eyebrows, and said, "Don't miss the hour."

Chu Zhao paused for a moment, then nodded, "I know." After saying that, he turned around and moved forward.

Xiao Yu, who was about to turn around, saw the approaching girl at a glance, withdrew the hand held by Xie Yanfang, and stretched it out to Chu Zhao.

"Sister," he called.

Xie Yanfang looked over and saw the girl coming with a smile, she leaned over to catch Xiao Yu's hand.

"What's the matter?" She asked in a low voice, "Isn't it all agreed, and you told me not to be afraid, why are you afraid?"

Xiao Yu looked at her: "I don't want to go by myself, sister, come with me."

Chu Zhao looked at him and smiled: "Okay."

A smile spread across Xiao Yu's face.

Only then did Chu Zhao look at Xie Yanfang, and said in a low voice, "Third Young Master, the hour is approaching, and there must be no mistakes in the grand ceremony."

Xie Yanfang half-kneeled on the ground, looked into the girl's clear eyes, and nodded: "Okay."

He stands up and moves out of the way.

Chu Zhao looked at Xiao Yu again, the child was still smiling happily at her, Chu Zhao smiled, straightened his face, and coughed lightly, Xiao Yu immediately stopped smiling, just like her with a straight face.

Chu Zhao took Xiao Yu's hand and stepped up the steps.

Xie Yanfang stood on the spot and watched, then turned her gaze away and walked back. When passing by Deng Yi, she suddenly looked at him and smiled.

Deng Yi didn't care about his smile, his expression was numb, and he nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Xie Yanfang smiled and said: "Teacher, you are being polite." After saying that, she passed him and walked back to the queue of officials without further words.

"kneel!"

The ceremonial officials sang loudly, the drums and music blared together, and all the officials knelt down in unison.

There were only two figures on the high steps.

Chu Zhao took Xiao Yu's hand and went up step by step. She didn't look back. Of course she knew that walking with the emperor was against the rules, but so what?

Since she became a queen again in this life, she couldn't be the same as that one.

This queen is what she wants to be, so how to make this queen is up to her.

……

……

Not everyone knelt down, the imperial guards stood standing with weapons in their hands, protecting the new emperor.

Xie Yanlai stood at the top, watching the figure on the steps, step by step, getting higher and higher.

Although tall, but in fact the back is still a little girl.

Who would have thought that Ah Fu at the post station would become a queen today.

It's funny.

He twitched his lips and smiled.

There was nothing unexpected, and he did not expect that he would be standing here today.

Xie Yanlai withdrew her gaze and stood there with a blank expression.

Chapter 18 Journey

The turmoil in the capital was only within the scope of the capital, and outside the capital it was calm and calm, and many counties didn't even know that something had happened in the capital.

It wasn't until the government posted a notice that the public knew something serious had happened.

"The crown prince was killed by the third prince."

"I knew a long time ago that something would happen. Mrs. Zhao is too favored."

"Fortunately, the prince's son is still there."

"This emperor's eldest grandson has been raised by His Majesty the Emperor. Fortunately, there are still people under His Majesty's knees."

"Not only is there the emperor's eldest grandson, but the emperor's eldest grandson also has a wife, so it will be more stable now."

"But which noble daughter is this Chu Zhao? She even saved the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"Haven't you finished reading it? It's said in the notice, the daughter of General Wei Chu Ling."

"Who is General Wei Chu Ling? I've never heard of it."

"General Wei Chu Ling is a big shot, back then—"

However, the impact of the written description was not great. Compared with the people in the capital, the people in other places were shocked but not panicked. On the contrary, they were more curious that the emperor was the wife chosen by the emperor's eldest grandson.

For a while there were discussions everywhere, General Wei Chu Ling's past was revealed again.

So that the news of the emperor's death and the emperor's eldest grandson's enthronement was not too long later, and the people were not too shocked. Alas, the emperor is also a human being. How can a father bear the end of his two sons? No, this time the sadness went along with it.

But don't be afraid, although the eldest grandson of the emperor is young, with the Taifu in charge of the country, his own uncle as his assistant, and the famous Chu Ling sitting in charge, the country will have no worries.

After bursts of thunder, more people flooded into the hall of the post station in Beicao Town.

"Boss, it must be fully occupied tonight." A handyman happily groped over and whispered to the fat Yicheng standing in the hallway, "Let's sell the wine we have collected."

Fat Yicheng, who seemed to be distracted by the sky, was interrupted, looked away, and glanced at the handyman: "You want to die, the late emperor is still in mourning."

The handyman shrank his head, this is not the emperor Shan Gaoyuan——

"The new emperor ascended the throne and got married again, isn't it worth celebrating." He said awkwardly.

Yicheng waved his hand: "Go away, don't cause trouble with me."

The handyman turned and ran away.

Yi Cheng glanced at the hall with a complicated expression, the hall was overcrowded, but there were only two names that he said over and over again, Chu Ling and Empress.

So what about Chu Ling, and what about the queen.

"This is really back more than ten years ago." The postman came out and sighed to the postman, "At that time, Chu Yu was the one who talked the most in the post station. What's new about Chu Yu? His Majesty the Emperor gave Chu Yu a gift. Something, unexpectedly, after more than ten years of silence, Chu Ling came back again."

Having said that, he lowered his voice again.

"Everyone is still talking about Chu Ling's daughter, but they all say that it doesn't matter, it's nothing special, and it's all because of Chu Ling that she can become a queen."

Yicheng laughed, and looked into the hall, it was ordinary and unimportant, among other things, this ordinary queen made a lot of noise in their station, and almost killed him ——

Yi Cheng touched his neck.

The postman also touched his neck and said, "There is also that little official Deng Yi who was sent to work as a hard worker, and he became a grand tutor."

That's right, one of the people who came to their small inn became a queen, and the other became a prince. This is really unimaginable. Yicheng pressed his neck and looked around. Is this small broken inn considered an outstanding person?

but--

"Keep your mouth tight, don't reveal a word about Ah Fu." Yi Cheng said in a low voice.

The postman nodded hurriedly: "Boss, don't worry."

That Ms. Chu, whose alias is Ah Fu, is clever and clever, she deceived those people, and now she has become a queen.

No matter whether she got it by her father or tricked her, now this girl is the queen!

Queen!

The two stood in the hall thinking about each other, accompanied by bursts of thunder, a carriage came galloping and stopped outside the door.

"My lord." An old woman got off her horse, led a young boy, and ran towards the postman, respectfully saluting, "Can you let us stay for a night?"

The old woman was trembling and dressed in simple clothes, and the young child was trembling and timid, looking pitiful.

Yi Cheng pressed his belt, and asked kindly: "Is there a way to guide the official?"

The old woman shook her head: "My lord, we don't have official positions, but it's going to rain, and my old man is not in good health. Please let us stay overnight."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, took out a money bag from his sleeve and stuffed it to Yi Cheng.

Yi Cheng hurriedly dodged back, avoiding the old woman.

"Don't dare, you can't, you can't." He said solemnly, "Not to mention that the inn is full today, and the common people can't live for nothing, old lady, you should hurry up, you can enter the town not far ahead. "

The old woman fell to her knees with a plop, and the young child was frightened and hugged her arm and cried.

"My lord, my lord, you are pitiful. My son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving only one grandson. The old woman and grandson can only rely on the old man. His illness can no longer be exposed to the rain." She cried, "The old woman does not ask for help." To live in a room, just let us hide under the eaves for one night."

The guests in the hall came out and saw that the old woman and child were extremely pitiful, so they also persuaded Yicheng to squeeze in just one night.

But no matter how the old woman begged, how the young child cried, or how other people interceded, the postman remained unmoved, and the postman also looked serious.

"If you really want to save your wife, drive away quickly." Yicheng said in a deep voice, "The faster you go, the more you can reach the town and settle down."

As he spoke, he bowed his hands and saluted in the direction of the capital.

"Nowadays there are many affairs in the country and the new emperor is on the throne. We wait for the king's salary and must strictly abide by our duties."

Seeing that he couldn't speak, the old woman staggered away holding the young child in tears.

The guests in the hall shook their heads at Yicheng, "You are too rigid." "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." "You are helping the old and the weak to caress the people for the new emperor."

No matter what everyone said, Yi Cheng just smiled and shook his head, until the old woman's car disappeared on the road, and dark clouds approached in the distance.

Pitiful?He has already met and helped the poorer people, so what happened?

The poor man now sits on the Queen's throne.

He promised to be a good person in the future, but he had to keep his eyes open, and it would be pity if he couldn't see people, especially those who offered money to seduce.

Not only would he not be able to get the money, but it would also cause trouble.

Accompanied by rolling thunder, the dusk turned into night in an instant, and the pouring rain fell, and the ground of the post station was instantly rained.

However, there was a rush of horseshoes in the heavy rain, and a group of soldiers and guards wearing raincloths rushed into the post.

"I was ordered to check!"

A loud shout made the station even more noisy.

Everyone, whether they were staying or the handymen at the post station, had their identities verified. Seeing these people's faces as dark as night and the bloody smell on their armor, everyone in the post station held their breath and did not dare to say anything.

Yicheng was even more terrified, and asked the leader of the group: "I wonder who they are looking for?"

The leader's expression was indifferent, and he glanced at him: "The remnants of the Zhao family, have you seen any suspicious people?"

The remnants of the Zhao family, Yicheng hurriedly waved his hands, and said with plastic surgery: "Only officials are allowed to stay in the station, and I have personally checked all the subordinates."

The general hummed, and his eyes were sharp: "That's good, otherwise you are an accomplice."

Yicheng hurriedly said again and again that he did not dare, and said that if he encountered suspicious people, he would report them immediately.

A guard came in and whispered to the leader. The leader immediately stood up and waved his hand. With the clatter of armor, the men and horses galloped away in the heavy rain——

The people who stayed behind in the inn were terrified.

To track down the remnants of the Zhao family?The Zhao family has been punished by the nine clans, and there are still remnants of the crime, which is really scary.

……

……

In the dark of night, the carriage was driving alone on the mountain road, the rain was splashing against the carriage, and sitting in it was like being in the ocean.

However, the old women and young children who encountered such a situation did not cry anymore, but sat quietly and respectfully in the corner of the carriage.

There was a person half lying in the carriage, dimly illuminated by the wall lamp, it was not a sickly old man, but a young man, with a graceful posture, propping his head with one hand, and gently stroking and tapping the car board with the other hand, as if he was playing with the sound of rain. played.

"My lord, this Xu Yicheng is greedy for money and pretends to be a good person." The old woman said softly, "I don't know what happened, but he refused us—"
