Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

"I mentioned Chaoxia Kingdom to you, do you still remember?" Su Changfeng asked.

"Yeah." Su Yunxuan nodded without saying much.

Of course she remembered.

That was in Yunzhong! At that time, Su Changfeng wanted to persuade her to give up finding out the truth about her parents' murder and go back to Yunsheng together.

At that time, Su Changfeng wanted to take her back to Yunsheng so urgently, just as she was now eager to know all the truth as soon as possible and return to Yunsheng.

Seeing Su Yunxuan's anxiety, Su Changfeng tried to pick out the key points and spoke faster, "The Queen Mother, my grandfather and grandmother are all from the Chaoxia Kingdom. My grandmother and the Queen Mother are princesses of the Chaoxia Kingdom, and my grandfather is the son of the last imperial teacher of the Chaoxia Kingdom."

"My grandmother was the eldest princess of the Chaoxia Kingdom, her name was Yunrong; my grandfather's name was Bai Muchuan, and later changed his name to Bai Muchuan."

In Chaoxia Kingdom, the national teacher is not just a nickname for a minister, he represents a family with the power to create the world.

At that time, the founder of Chaoxia Kingdom took a fancy to the Bai family who lived in Yunzhong. Hearing of the Bai family's medical genius and ability to save the country and benefit the people, he signed a contract with the Bai family, promising the Bai family the position of national master for generations, and asked the Bai family to help his Yun family establish Chaoxia Kingdom.

After the establishment of the Chaoxia Kingdom, it prospered for two generations, but a crisis occurred in the third generation.

Queen Chaoxia had been unable to give birth to a prince, and for a long time she only had one daughter, Yunrong. However, according to the rules of the Chaoxia Kingdom, the king and queen must practice monogamy, which restricted the king from marrying anyone else.

The king and queen were very distressed because they had no successor, so they sought help from the imperial teacher.

The imperial teacher was well versed in pharmacology. Although he had diagnosed the queen many times and used countless medicinal herbs, the queen's stomach still showed no reaction.

At that time, the Imperial Master had only one son, Bai Muchuan, and Bai Muchuan had been engaged to Yun Rong since childhood. Gradually, rumors began to spread among the people: The Imperial Master was cunning and wanted to make Chaoxia childless so that his son could marry the eldest princess and seize the throne.

The national teacher went to the king to clarify and suggested that a woman could also be king. Chaoxia was a holy country of medicine, and women were not inferior to men in medicine. Yun Lianzi, the most proud medical master under the national teacher, was a woman.

The king was somewhat moved after hearing this, and discussed with the queen that if they had no more children, they would make Yunrong the king of Chaoxia.

When Yunrong was nine years old, the queen suddenly became pregnant again. The imperial teacher felt her pulse and confirmed that it was a boy. The whole country celebrated.

Unexpectedly, not only was a baby girl born after full term, but the queen also died of hemorrhage.

The king was heartbroken and depressed. He imprisoned himself in his room all day long, with only a maid who had served the queen closely during her lifetime to take care of him.

The king was not present, and state affairs were handled by the imperial teacher, and everything was in good order.

No one expected that a year later, the king suddenly came out and firmly appointed the maid as the new queen of Chaoxia Kingdom. The court was shocked and did not know what the king's intention was.

The maids who served the queens of all dynasties were sterilized with drugs, so making this woman the queen would not give birth to new offspring for the Chaoxia Kingdom. Because of this, the state teacher and the people in the court did not stop it or have any other thoughts.

After the new queen was established, the king changed his previous decadent style, began to actively participate in state affairs, and no longer talked about the issue of appointing a crown prince.

During this period, Yunrong left the palace and married into the Imperial Master's Mansion. The two of them were in love and lived a happy life after marriage.

Until the national teacher died of old age, the young Bai Muchuan inherited his father's position and became the new national teacher of Chaoxia Kingdom. Then the king of Chaoxia Kingdom suddenly summoned Bai Muchuan frequently, demanding that he change the ancestral system, abolish the monogamy of the king of Chaoxia Kingdom, and the sterilization of the palace maids around the queen.

These ancestral rules were established by the founding king and queen of the Chaoxia Kingdom, and were written into the clan rules together with the contract signed between his Bai family and the Chaoxia royal family. Bai Muchuan naturally followed his father's teachings and did not agree with it.

Bai Muchuan's attitude, which was the same as his father's, completely angered the king. The king seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, becoming bloodthirsty and warlike. He ignored Bai Muchuan's opposition and personally led his troops to launch a war against Yunsheng, a neighboring country that was equally powerful at the time.

That's right, Yun Sheng was not as powerful as it is now. Whether in terms of territory or national strength, it was comparable to Chaoxia at that time.

Back then, Fenglan was the most powerful country among many countries.

Feng Lan's strength was due to his good governance, which ensured that everyone in the country had enough food and clothing and the economy was prosperous, but it was also due to the Lu family army's conquests in the south and the north.

By the time Lu Zhenyuan took command of the Lu Family Army, the Lu Family Army had already become a feared existence in all countries. Over the past decade, the Lu Family Army had swept through and destroyed all neighboring countries that intended to provoke Feng Lan like a lion.

"My grandfather?" Su Yunxuan couldn't help but murmur.

Although Su Yunxuan had heard her mother Lu Qingxi occasionally mention the power of the Lu Family Army when she was a child, Lu Qingxi left her father Lu Zhenyuan at the age of five and was taken to the Fenglan Palace with her mother Lu Xiruo, so she did not know much about the Lu Family Army.

Therefore, there were not many glorious deeds of the Lu family army that could be told to Su Yunxuan.

Su Yunxuan's understanding of the Lu Family Army came from what the soldiers who escorted her said on the way to Fenglan to celebrate her mother's birthday. It was also from the soldiers' admiring tone that the young girl knew how powerful and extraordinary the Lu Family Army was.

Su Changfeng stopped telling the story and handed Su Yunxuan a cup of tea.

Su Yunxuan took it and took a sip, then said shyly, "Brother Changfeng, continue."

Su Changfeng saw her apology and consoled her, "I'm also wondering whether to continue the story of Chaoxia Country or to tell the story of Yun Sheng's response to Chaoxia's attack in chronological order. Why don't you tell me which one you want to hear first?"

"Didn't Brother Changfeng already tell us about Chaoxia's ending when he was in the clouds?" Su Yunxuan said.

Su Changfeng shook his head. "That was just the ending in the eyes of the world. Chaoxia was defeated and divided up by Yunsheng and Fenglan. The ending I want to talk about is the ending of my grandparents."

"Well, you say." Su Yunxuan put down the teacup, poured herself a cup of tea and handed it to Su Changfeng.

"Don't you want to ask why King Chaoxia is like this?" Su Changfeng took the teacup and looked at Su Yunxuan.

"Brother Changfeng, do you want me to guess?"

"Yes." Su Changfeng nodded, "Tell me about it."

The causes and consequences of this period were not difficult to guess, but he wanted to hear Su Yunxuan's inference. He wanted to hear Yunxuan's views on the inequality between men and women and a woman as emperor.

Su Yunxuan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then quickly said, "I guess the king started the war because, first, he listened to the instigation of the new queen, second, he wanted to use the war to break free from and change the Chaoxia ancestral system, and third, he didn't want to make a woman king, or he became suspicious of the national teacher."

"Why does the new queen want to instigate the king?" Su Changfeng guided patiently.

"It should be revenge." Su Yunxuan said calmly, "The ancestral system of Chaoxia is not reasonable. Monogamy is not a problem. The founding king and queen of Chaoxia may have made such a beautiful wish because of their deep love for each other."

"But monogamy is ultimately a voluntary and conscious observance by both parties, and cannot be forced in an unreasonable way. Every woman has the right to choose whether to be a mother. The Chaoxia ancestral system sterilized women who entered the palace to serve in order to ensure monogamy, which is indeed too cruel."
