Qiu Ling came back from outside the garden, bringing the latest announcement to the main house. He had lived here for more than half a month. The master and the mistress personally named this garden "Yuanzhi". Although he felt that the meaning was not reasonable and it did not sound like a residential name, he was not qualified to question it.

After informing the master and waiting in the corridor, Qiu Ling vaguely heard the master in the room ask incredulously, "You don't think the coffin is unlucky, and you're not afraid of it?"

The lady continued, "What's the big deal? Dead people don't count, and I'm a living person!"

I had just heard these two incoherent sentences when they were passed in.

"Master, Madam." Qiu Ling bowed, "The new emperor changed the reign title to Daye, and this year is the first year of Daye. In addition, the funeral, posthumous title, and burial of the late emperor have all been completed. The Hu envoy will also come to Beijing soon to form an alliance with our Great Xia."

After Qiu Ling finished speaking, he stood aside and listened to the instructions.

Lu Anyuan nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Look at my younger brother, this is the best a biological son can do!" After that, he waved his hand and told Qiu Lingxia to leave.

Xu Yixing shook his head and stabbed the dates on the plate with a fork. He was also very happy: "He is waiting to complete your funeral as soon as possible, so that he can go back to be the emperor with full legitimacy. Why are you so proud!" He said this, but he was actually relieved in his heart. The ascension of the new emperor meant that Lu Anyuan had completely withdrawn from the court and he could finally settle down.

"Oh, by the way, what is your reign title? Why haven't I heard anyone mention it?"

"Me?" Lu Anyuan pointed at himself, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xu Yixing's gradually round face: "You forgot that the reign of the emperor of my dynasty is based on years. When I ascended the throne, the new year had passed, and I still used my father's reign. I died within the past year, so naturally there was no chance to issue a new reign."

Xu Yixing slapped his head in sudden realization. He had been so busy escaping and having a baby last year that he had indeed neglected this matter.

"It's really unfair to think like this. After all, you did such a great thing for the people of Daxia, but you didn't even leave a reign title. This posthumous title was conferred posthumously by the new emperor. If it continues for a long time, won't you be forgotten in the future?"

"The sun turns and the moon passes, the grass withers and the sun sets, and when we die, we are all buried in a pile of soil. Who cares about these names?" Lu Anyuan thought thoroughly. Fame and great achievements are not as real as the plate of sweet red dates in front of him. Besides, he has done everything he wanted to do in this life, and he has obtained everything he wanted to get. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

"It's best if you think this way. I'm afraid you'll regret it in a few years. Don't say you did it for me then. I won't be your scapegoat."

"Of course not. Only useless people would make excuses for themselves. If I really regret it in the future, even if I lead an army to attack the palace and seize the throne, I will not blame you at all."

"Hmph, that's more like it. Oh, right, just now I mentioned that I went to Miaozhou in a coffin. In fact, your soldiers guarding the city were responsible enough. They even checked the bottom of the coffin. It's just that Yingwu's disguise skills are so powerful that I got the advantage."

"You've suffered." Lu Anyuan didn't blame her. They both had their own thoughts on what happened at that time, so there was really no need to bring up the past.

"I'm also curious. Since you sent people to check on me, you must have gone to the car dealership. How could you not know that I did not reach Xiaoxi Town but got off the car early?" When Xu Yixing was in the bandit's lair, he always thought that these pursuers were useless. They could not find such obvious clues and were really useless.

"If you hadn't silenced the driver, how could I not have found out?"

"I didn't..." Xu Yixing looked confused. The driver listened to him and continued to the destination. He never saw him again after that. How could he be considered to have killed someone to silence him?

"You didn't?" Lu Anyuan was also surprised: "The driver went crazy suddenly on the way back to the capital after completing his mission and died on the official road." He always thought that Yixing did it, but now it sounds like that was not the case.

"It's not me. I'm not a person who kills indiscriminately. Besides, I didn't bring any shadow guards with me when I left. I don't have the ability to silence anyone."

It was only today that Lu Anyuan realized that she left alone. Thinking of the bandits killed on the mountain, he couldn't help but feel scared. "So you didn't kill the bandits on Yanshan Mountain?"

Xu Yixing was even more shocked when she heard this. When she wanted to report to the police, she was stopped by Yingwu for fear of revealing her whereabouts. How could she possibly kill the bandits? "I didn't know about this. It wasn't me." After she said this, she suddenly had an idea. At that time, Yingwu went to Yanshan to get his banknotes and documents. Could it be that he did it? . .

"Why, what did you think of?"

"Ah, nothing. I just thought that there were some villagers who were captured on the mountain. Are they dead too?"

"No one was spared."

Xu Yixing was silent for a long time after hearing this. She couldn't blame Ying Wu for being cruel, but she also had to resent him for killing those innocent villagers. Ying Wu... How do you want me to deal with you?

But she felt relieved soon. She had made it clear outside Pingyun Pass that day to let them go free. She thought that she would never have the chance to see them again in the future, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

"What do you think? Could it be that you thought you left the capital alone, but in fact your shadow guard followed you and helped you take care of these tails?" Lu Anyuan made a very reasonable guess.

Xu Yixing thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, I had already sent them out at that time. There were only Shadow Three, Shadow Five and Shadow Nine in the capital. One of them followed Chao Jianyi, one was guarding the palace gate, and one was transferred by me to see Si Wen, so he had no chance to follow me out. Besides, if there really was someone secretly protecting me, how could they let me be captured by bandits?"

Lu Anyuan thought what she said made sense and couldn't find any other explanation for the moment. He could only assume that the unfortunate driver really had an illness and unfortunately passed away. It was really a coincidence.

"Yixing, you asked Chao Jianyi to follow my father. Are you really just sending him to keep an eye on things?"

A gaze shot over, and Xu Yixing felt his face slightly red, a little uncomfortable: "Otherwise, do I poison the king?"

"Alas." Lu Anyuan's eyes slightly moved away from her face and said, "I have seen the pulse of my father. He is far from dying. But if the pulse is false, it is difficult for me to judge."

Xu Yixing shook her handkerchief, not making any comment. Some secrets can be shared, but some cannot. But for a moment, her mind flew to a field she had never thought of before. Why did Lu Anyuan care so much about Chao Jianyi's role?

Could it be that he actually cared more about when and how the emperor would die than he did?

Ah, Mr. Yao! Xu Yixing's eyes lit up, and then he quickly restrained his emotions. Yes, some secrets can be shared, but some can never be shared. Lu Anyuan was the same with him!
