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

Three days later, the succession ceremony was held as scheduled.

Neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor was able to attend.

Prince Xu fulfilled his promise to the Queen Mother before her death, and together with Su Changfeng, he stood up for Su Yunxuan and calmed the sighs of the civil and military officials in the court.

With their support, the succession ceremony was successfully completed and Su Yunxuan officially became the Empress of Yunsheng.

Facing the officials kneeling in worship, Su Yunxuan personally announced with grief that the Queen Mother had passed away yesterday.

Therefore, the arrangements in the capital of Yunsheng that had been celebrated by the whole nation the day before were all replaced with a solemn white scene the next day, with the whole country mourning together.

Taking into consideration that it was still a disaster period, Su Yunxuan announced forcefully that the Queen Mother's funeral could only be held for four days.

Faced with the first order issued by the empress, the court officials lamented and made intensive preparations.

The body will be kept for three days, followed by one day of mourning and memorial service.

When the auspicious time arrived on the fourth day, Su Yunxuan, who had hardly rested for more than two hours in the past seven days, insisted on following the funeral team to escort the empress dowager's body into the mausoleum, despite Su Changfeng's persuasion.

When everything was done and they returned to Fengqi Palace, Su Yunxuan was so exhausted that she almost fainted, but she was still stubborn and wanted to stay by the side of her father who was still in a coma.

Su Changfeng finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He ignored everyone's gazes, forcefully picked the person up and sent him back to Yunxuan Palace.

Yunxuan Palace was a palace that the emperor specially renovated for Su Yunxuan when she was a child. It is very close to Fengqi Palace, the residence of Su Yunxuan's mother.

Even though she had become the Empress of Yunsheng, Su Yunxuan still insisted on living in the Yunxuan Palace, just as her father still insisted on living in the Fengqi Palace after she and her mother had left Fenglan for many years.

After putting the person on the bed, Su Changfeng gently covered Su Yunxuan with a quilt and ordered Su Yunxuan in a firm tone that she must put everything aside and have a good sleep.

Su Yunxuan shook her head to refuse and tried to get up several times, but was held down by Su Changfeng each time.

Su Yunxuan was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes. She held on to Su Changfeng's sleeve tightly and asked for his permission to send someone to beat the drum in the court.

In the end, Su Changfeng compromised with a painful heart.

When he came back after delivering the order, Su Yunxuan was already asleep.

Gently smoothing Su Yunxuan's slightly frowned brows, Su Changfeng sat by the bed and gazed at the person on the bed affectionately for a long time. He was reluctant to leave, and all kinds of emotions continued to spread in his heart.

Distressed, relieved, angry, suspicious, unwilling...

All the confusion finally went away when he thought of how his Yunxuan was holding on and working so hard just to fulfill her promise to be with him. He finally cheered up again and vowed to stick with Su Yunxuan to the end.

They wanted Yun Sheng's court officials to see and affirm the Empress's ability...

We must let the people of Yunsheng see that their new emperor can lead the officials and people of Yunsheng to overcome this natural disaster...

They must make everyone believe that his Yunxuan will definitely become a wise ruler and lead Yunsheng to prosperity.

Only in this way, his Yunxuan will not be betrayed again by Yunsheng's ministers and people, and pushed to Fenglan for marriage!

Only in this way can they get these court officials to agree to let them be together!

Only in this way can he survive!

Live well, and stay with Yunxuan as he promised her...

After guarding Yunxuan Palace for most of the night, Su Changfeng went to Fengqi Palace in the second half of the night with concern.

Bai Shu, who was guarding Fengqi Palace, assured him again that the emperor had just fallen asleep. After Concubine Xu promised to take good care of the emperor and urged him to go back and rest several times, Su Changfeng rested in the room next to Su Yunxuan's bedroom.

At the hour of Mao the next day, Su Yunxuan insisted that Su Changfeng accompany her into the palace. She entered in formal attire, resumed the court meeting, and led the ministers to discuss a good plan for disaster relief.

In the next half month, Yunsheng's officials each performed their duties with clear division of labor and actively fought against the disaster.

......

In Fenglan, Feng Zhiyi died before An Lan could bring back Xuan Huangzi.

Ruoying traveled day and night and intercepted Xuan Huangzi when he was about to enter Fenglan capital.

Her royal brother had already passed away. After hearing what Ruoying said, she knew that Su Changfeng and Su Yunxuan were anxious to find Xuan Huangzi and save people, so An Lan did not keep anyone.

Ruoying took Xuan Huangzi and rushed back to Yunsheng.

An Lan entered the capital and decided to attend her brother's funeral before returning to Yunzhong to live in seclusion with Pei Qianluo and Yan Yu.

While Feng Yuqi was in mourning, he had not received a response from Yun Sheng regarding peace talks, and he became increasingly anxious.

The news of the disaster that had befallen Yunsheng throughout the country gradually reached Fenglan. Upon hearing the news, many ambitious officials began to frequently visit each other in private, making friends and discussing matters, ready to take action.

Tianxun brought the news that Su Yunxuan had become the Queen of Yunsheng back to Fenglan. Feng Yuqi was surprised for a moment, but then turned anxious into happy.

The throne of Yunsheng was not passed to that sickly guy, but to Su Yunxuan. This coincided with his plan that he had told Prime Minister Shen at the beginning, to support Su Yunxuan as the Empress of Yunsheng, and then to marry her and take down Yunsheng without any effort.

Thinking that Su Yunxuan had become the empress of Yunsheng, she would definitely shoulder the responsibility of a ruler. In order to save the people of Yunsheng from suffering from war, Feng Yuqi was in a good mood and agreed to marry him.

He immediately ordered the collection of a large amount of food and ordered Lu Zailin to send it to Yunsheng to congratulate Su Yunxuan on becoming the Empress of Yunsheng.

Not long after the preparations for the gift began, the ministers learned that Yun Sheng had a new emperor.

This new emperor was not Su Changfeng, the prince of Yunsheng, who had debated with many heroes in the court of Fenglan and was both talented and resourceful, but Su Yunxuan, who had been imprisoned in the capital by Fenglan for nearly a year and had been on the run for many years.

Feng Lan's court officials could no longer sit still.

As soon as the court meeting was resumed, several old ministers jumped out and wrote to Feng Yuqi, urging them to seize this God-given opportunity to launch a massive attack and capture Yun Sheng in one fell swoop.

Feng Yuqi was instantly furious and threw the memorial directly at the old ministers who had submitted the petition, leaving them confused.

The ministers guessed that Feng Yuqi was reluctant to give up the beauty, after hesitating and weighing the pros and cons, decided to go against Feng Yuqi's pressure and agree with Feng Lan to capture Yunsheng.

He thought he was smart and analyzed to Feng Yuqi that as long as Feng Lan took down Yun Sheng, Empress Yun Sheng would be in Feng Yuqi's pocket.

Feng Yuqi was furious again. He stopped more and more people from agreeing to his proposal and dismissed the court meeting early.

......

In Yunsheng, God still did not send down any rain.

After the summer solstice, the temperature kept rising, large tracts of fertile fields dried up due to lack of water, and the people were short of food and water, so they fled and migrated.

More and more refugees poured into the capital of Yunsheng. Su Yunxuan, under pressure, ordered everyone to be released.

Ignoring the dissuasion of her ministers, she went to various porridge distribution sites inside and outside the capital with Su Changfeng, delivering large amounts of food and daily necessities. She also promised the refugees that she would find a way to ensure that the people survived this natural disaster safely, allow them to return to their homes, and give them a peaceful and prosperous life.

Food and money were collected in batches and transported to various places in Yunsheng.

Su Changfeng even invested all his savings from business over the years into this disaster relief effort.

However, the disaster affected too wide a range of areas, and petitions requesting food and silver continued to be sent to the capital from all over the country.

Seeing that there were already thirty volumes of petitions for grain and silver, Su Yunxuan had no choice but to issue an emergency order, ordering the ministers to raise the required amount for a compromise within three days.

The court officials began to complain.

A few days ago, they had followed Su Yunxuan's orders and, either willingly or unwillingly, had taken out their personal property to use for disaster relief.

In just a few days, they were asked to raise so much money again.

As soon as the decree was issued, some ministers immediately stood up and once again questioned the disaster relief policy issued by Su Yunxuan.
