But Jiang Mingyue knew that this was not a good sign, and it was probably a last gasp, so she couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, what you need now is rest."

Emperor Jing actually smiled and waved his hand.

"You're a good kid, but I don't need you anymore."

After saying that, he took a few deep breaths and accidentally saw the jade bracelet on Jiang Mingyue's wrist, and his smile deepened.

"It's destined, it's destined!"

Then he looked at Wudi Ji and Nanhou Wang again.

"These two, behead them."

Don't want to say a word more.

Chang Feng Liu Yun took action himself, carried the two men and walked out.

King Nanhou looked dejected and said nothing.

Wudi Ji was so scared that she burst into tears and screamed: "You can't kill me! I am the only heir! How dare you kill me... You old immortal! Why don't you die! I curse you to die a miserable death, and the Jing Dynasty will perish!"

Emperor Jing was furious and started coughing violently.

Changfeng covered the mouth of the Fifth Princess with one hand, dragged her out of the palace at a faster speed, and soon two screams were heard.

With the help of Jiang Mingyue and Eunuch Shi, Emperor Jing finally calmed down after a while and lay back on the bed.

Eunuch Shi brought another pillow and raised his head.

Emperor Jing looked at An Su, his tone weak, yet firm and earnest:

"Wanyun, I have one last question for you. Liao Shiyu is actually my son, right?"

An Su gritted his teeth, his eyes turned red, but he finally nodded silently.

Many people were shocked!

How come this kind of thing happened?

No wonder Emperor Jing executed the Five Princesses without hesitation!

Liao Shiyu was particularly shocked. He knew that his mother was an orphan of the previous dynasty, but he did not expect that she was related to Emperor Jing!

"Ho ho, ho ho ho..."

Emperor Jing laughed, choking and coughing.

"The heavens will not fail me in the end! Ahem, pass on my decree, and make Shi Yu the new emperor! I hope that you, ahem, will treat Shi Yu as you would treat me!"

There is no need to appoint a crown prince, so just pass the throne directly?

But having Liao Shiyu as the heir is naturally a great thing, he is a hundred times better than the previous prince.

Then all the ministers agreed in unison:

"I will obey the imperial edict!"

Even though Liao Shiyu was experienced, he didn't know how to respond for a moment. Jiang Mingyue and the others were both confused.

"Hehe, cough, Xiaoxiao..."

Emperor Jing finally tried to reach out his hand to the Queen. The Queen, with tears streaming down her face, held his hand and replied:

"I'm here."

"Ahem, you, take care..."

The Queen sobbed and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't cry, cough, don't cry, hehe, I, cough, have no regrets..."

Emperor Jing smiled and coughed, and finally fell silent.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Everyone at the scene sobbed and cried.

That night, neither Jiang Mingyue nor Liao Shiyu slept well.

Well, Liao Shiyu should be called Song Shiyu now. Liao Xifeng didn't say anything about this. He raised Jingdi's son and didn't even have time to ask for compensation. So he could only let it go.

Jiang Mingyue finally understood why Lord Liao was so strange. He had ignored Shi Yu since he entered the court.

The next day, the whole country was in mourning.

Song Shiyu was surrounded by ministers and forcibly pushed onto the throne. He was not used to it for a while. But this matter concerned the fate of Jing State. No matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to take on this responsibility.

Fortunately, people’s hearts are useful.

Except for a few people who were a little impatient and sided with the Five Emperors' Princesses, the attitudes of the rest of the ministers were very firm and clear. Especially with the presence of Sima Ji, the situation quickly stabilized.

The riots this time did not affect a wide area, most people in the capital were unaware of it, and it was not difficult to deal with.

The news had been spread to all places by express horse, and the world was informed that Emperor Jing was seriously ill and had died, and that the new emperor was about to ascend the throne.

The new emperor was none other than the former Governor Liao, which surprised almost everyone, with the exception of a certain duke, who was more delighted.

After being surprised, everyone was relieved. Everyone knew the character of the new emperor, and even the empress who was to be in the foreseeable future was a well-known kind person. So after hearing the news, almost everyone praised him. Everyone had a premonition that a truly prosperous era was about to come, with no worries at home and no troubles abroad. The emperor was virtuous and the empress was virtuous. Aren't good days coming?

On the day of the state funeral, it was drizzling.

Emperor Jingdi reigned for decades, and generally speaking, he was quite good. The burden on the common people was greatly reduced, and many people were grateful to him. In addition, thanks to the emergence of several powerful men, the border areas of Dajing were also much more stable, and even expanded. His prestige was not much worse than that of Taizu.

So many people spontaneously took to the streets to see them off.

I feel ashamed for not being able to serve my king and parents. Life and death are always unreasonable.

At this moment, Song Shiyu may not be the saddest, but his mood is undoubtedly the most complicated.

Jiang Mingyue was not much different. Even if she lived another lifetime, she would never have thought that such a day would come.

After Emperor Jing was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the enthronement ceremony took place immediately afterwards, and the two major events were held at the same time.

All officials changed out of mourning clothes and immediately put on auspicious clothes to hold the ceremony.

After offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and the ancestral temple, Song Shiyu dressed in formal attire and sat on the throne in the main hall, accepting congratulations from civil and military officials and presenting a report as a subject.

Sima Ji was in a high position, sitting on a chair, looking at the ministers below, and listening to the noises coming from all directions. Although no one would dare to cause trouble in the court, it was always better to be cautious.

But after a while, he suddenly realized that Song Shiyu had not spoken for a long time. He looked over and found that he was frowning and looked very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Song Shiyu looked over and smiled:

"Nothing, I was just distracted."

Sima Ji looked at him suspiciously again, but it was not appropriate to say more on this occasion. After that, he observed Song Shiyu again and found that there was nothing unusual about his behavior, so he was relieved.

After the ceremony, all that remained was to issue the edict of accession to the throne to the world and grant amnesty, etc. As for the change of the reign title, that would have to wait until the Spring Festival.

After all the ministers left, Jiang Mingyue came over and talked to Song Shiyu about some matters in the harem.

The two of them had already moved into the palace, and Jiang Mingyue realized that she actually had quite a lot of belongings. She spent half a day arranging things in her bedroom before she got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

This was possible with the help of Lingwei Linglan and Chang Yan.

The main reason was that she was already very pregnant at this time, so her movements couldn't be too casual.

Song Shiyu listened for a while and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry to trouble you these few days. I just ascended the throne and I have a lot to do. I won't accompany you."

Jiang Mingyue was not used to hearing him call himself that at first. But, on second thought, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

But she felt, um, a little alienated. Maybe she was overthinking it!

She understood that there were a lot of things to do, as she also had a lot of things to do, so she nodded immediately.

After that, Song Shiyu was indeed very busy. He personally inquired about, approved, and arranged various matters, showing great enthusiasm.
