Except for Xixi Town, the weather gets hotter and hotter as you go south, just like the summer solstice. The rice dumplings are not acclimated to the soil, which causes a lot of trouble. The people who are just looking at the flowers don't have much thought, they just hastily draw the route of Jiangnanzi.

After walking through the pictures, I felt very regretful.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Hongkangning, a letter came from the palace, saying that Emperor Hongzhi was not well and had been vomiting blood for several days. King Yao reluctantly gave him life-sustaining pills to maintain his life.

This news weighed heavily on the hearts of Feng Hongluan and Hong Yan.

In the last life, in the winter of the sixth year of Kangding, Hongyan died on a snowy day.

Could it be that everyone has rebelled against their destiny, but Hongzhi did not escape it in the end.

On the day we drove all the way back to the capital, it was snowing heavily.

Yang Yun and Liu Xiang were ordered to take the dumplings home first, and Hong Yan and Feng Hongluan entered the palace without stopping.

In Deyang Hall, a whole room of people were kneeling, sobbing and crying softly.

Hong Yan went in, and brother Hong Wen and Hong Han stood beside the bed. When he saw Hong Yan, Hong Han shook his head in pain at Hong Yan, and Hong Yan's eyes suddenly turned red.

Was he late after all?

Walking to the edge of the bed, Queen Murong An'er was kneeling beside the bed. She kept this posture for who knows how long. Her body was already bent and she was trembling. He stepped forward to help her.

"Queen."

"Don't touch me, I want to look at him like this, just look at him like this."

On the bed, Hong Zhi's eyes were weakly closed, and his breathing could hardly be heard. He seemed to feel Hong Yan's arrival and reluctantly opened his eyes.

Hong Yan stepped forward.

"Brother Royal."

"I've been waiting for you. No, don't feel guilty. I also owed you, Xiaoyan. After I die, don't forget, forget..."

His voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, and his eyes fell on Murong An'er.

Hong Yan nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Brother, just rest assured, Xiaoyan will definitely abide by the agreement."

Hongzhi's gaze glanced across Feng Hongluan's face with difficulty, trying hard to give her a smile, as gentle as jade as before.

But in the end, the corners of his mouth did not raise again, and he quietly closed his eyes.

"Brother Royal!"

Hongyan cried out in pain.

Honghan stepped forward, wiped his pulse, his eyes turned red, and nodded sadly to the eunuch. The eunuch cried and sang loudly and sharply: "The emperor has died, the emperor has died, the emperor has died."

The snow outside the window began to wreak havoc amidst howling cries, with large flakes pouring down as if they were tearing apart the sky.

There is a vast expanse between heaven and earth. On that snow-white background, is God also mourning for him?

In the first year of Hongkangning, the short journey only lasted for one and a half months, and then it came to an end.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Hongyan ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Kangping, taking the righteousness and bringing peace to the world.

She made Feng Hongluan her queen and Murong An'er the Zhongqing Queen. She was given a palace, Zhongqing Palace, and would enjoy the honor of the queen forever. She would be treated with the queen's courtesy when she was born, and she would be buried with the queen's rites when she died.

On December 19th, dressed in a phoenix robe, Feng Hongluan sat on the throne of the rose gold chair that had been her mother's ceremonial seat. She was not used to it yet.

She has never thought about wanting her mother to honor the world. If she had a choice, she would rather live happily with Hong Yan.

But she knows that responsibility cannot be evaded.

Hong Han had no interest in government affairs. He only wanted to return the bird to the forest and continue to travel around the world as a wandering doctor.

While Hongwen was mediocre and did nothing, Hongyuan was certainly not worth mentioning. He was still imprisoned in the ancestral temple. Hongyan already knew that Hongyuan had slandered Feng Hongluan many times, so the emperor only imprisoned him for a few years.

However, Hong Yan was determined to imprison him until he grew old.

Why didn't he understand Hong Yuan's temper? He would fight for what he wanted at all costs. Once Hong Yuan was released, a bloody conflict would inevitably break out between the brothers.

As for Hong Zong, who is still young, Hong Yan can only shoulder the heavy responsibility for the Hong family.

Sitting on this chair, Feng Hongluan felt that life was like a drama, passing by in vain.

In her previous life, she lived such a miserable life.

In this life, her mother became the most noble woman in the world.

The new year is approaching, and the new emperor has ascended the throne, but the government affairs to be handled are very complicated. Hong Yan is a person who has to do everything by himself. Since he moved into Fengqi Palace, Feng Hongluan has not been seen for three days.

Hongyan.

So, if it wasn't for nothing, she really wouldn't want to make this chair.

Simply, there were little glutinous rice balls, and she was very comfortable living in the palace. She only occasionally talked about her uncle Wuhen. As for Wuhen, Feng Hongluan had already thought about it. Although she missed him, it was better not to see him.

The wet nurse wrote that Wuhen studied martial arts very hard, and the master also taught her very carefully. The master had a daughter in his family who was about the same age as Wuhen. The master and the wet nurse talked about it and decided to have a baby.

Not every wall in this dye vat-like capital is airtight. One day, if the cause of Han Huiqing's death spreads like wildfire, then she and Wuhen will have to fight each other with swords. This is not what she wants to see.

It would be better to leave him in that peaceful town, and she would go back to see him once every spring, that's fine.

That was the place where his father was born and raised, the root of the Han family.

In the past few days since entering the palace, Liu Xiang and Yang Yun have been keeping company, and I have to deal with some harem matters. In the busy life, I didn't have much time to complain about not seeing Hong Yan for many days.

She didn't inquire much about the past few days, but Yang Yun occasionally told her something.

The emperor adjusted the cabinet arrangements, expanded the Military Aircraft Department, and the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department also had real power. In other words, Hong Yan began to release troops to his subordinates.

This change is unprecedented, but Feng Hongluan fully agrees with it.

Distribution of troops is not like the previous situation where military power was only in the hands of the general and the emperor. Decentralizing power in this way will not only make the generals more loyal, but also prevent Xia Hui from taking power and rebelling.

Feng Hongluan agreed with most of the decisions made by Hong Yan, but there was only one decision that made Feng Hongluan unhappy.

The Xia family was originally a criminal in the previous dynasty and should be executed. However, Hong Yan restored Xia Hui's reputation and was awarded the title of First-class Protector of the Country. The children of the Xia family share this honor.

However, on the day when Feng Hongluan heard that Hong Yan raised an army to capture the city, Xia Rongling was indispensable in getting the ministers to submit.

Later, I heard that Xia Rongling disappeared after leaving the palace. Three days later, her body was found hanged in a tree on the outskirts of the city. There was a letter on her body. It probably said that she had failed to win love and had poisoned Princess Jin, and she knew it.

The crime was serious. Now that her father has been rehabilitated, she has no face to live in the world, so she hanged herself here. If anyone finds her body, please send the letter to the government office.

Therefore, even if Hong Yan didn't explain what was going on, Feng Hongluan knew that it was probably Hong Yan who sacrificed the lives of these two people in exchange for Xia Rongling's intervention to stabilize the country, and it was considered worthy.

Feeling unhappy, I gradually calmed down, but they were all dead. The only survivors of the Xia family were Xia Rongling's sister-in-law and nephew. Xia Rongling's sister-in-law was the niece of her father's lieutenant general.

After something happened to the Xia family, Zhonglang Jiang often went to his father to plead for her niece's life.

She didn't want to kill all the women, children, and children. Even if they were destined to have a fate, how could an egg fight with a stone? It was just a mantis trying to use its arms as a cart. I don't think the Xia family would be so stupid. They could just live a peaceful life and cause trouble and harm their own family.

life.

Not many people objected to Xia Hui's posthumous title.

Xia Hui's great contribution to Hong Chao during his lifetime is indeed obvious to all.

Moreover, although Xia Hui had the intention to rebel, he did not take any action, so there is no way to hold him accountable. He is a first-class Protector of the Country, and he deserves the title based on his merits.

As for Maple City, its current status is naturally even more extraordinary.

If he were asked to rebel, he would definitely not do it.

But on the day Hong Yan raised his troops, he promised not to send troops to resist.

He couldn't plot to kill the emperor. The only thing he could do for Feng Hongluan and Hong Yan was to hold the tiger talisman and never send troops to aid the emperor.

Hong Yan ascended the throne, Feng Cheng still held the position of general, but the person who replaced Wu Ming as Qingqi General was a person who was beyond Feng Hongluan's expectations.

It was so unexpected that when she heard the name, she was moved to tears by jealous surprise.

Xiao Yunye, Uncle Xiao, he is not dead.

These days, if there is someone Feng Hongluan wants to see the most, it is definitely not Hong Yan, whom she has not seen for three days, but Uncle Xiao, who once made her want to sever ties with Hong Yan because of the news of his death.

In the afternoon of that day, after reading the last few notes about the control of the harem sent by the concubine, she finally couldn't hold it any longer.

"I am leaving the palace."

"Mother, I can't do it."

Yang Yun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Now that the identity is different from the past, it is not easy to leave the palace.

Feng Hongluan was very irritable: "I will go out for a while and I will definitely come back before sunset."

"Mother, you can't."

"Yang Yun! How dare you stop me?"

This is the first time she has shown airs to Yang Yun since she ascended the throne of emperor and empress.

Even so, Yang Yun still stopped her and refused to let go: "My Majesty, you can't. You are the empress of the world, how can you...ah!"

With an exclamation, Yang Yun's body slowly fell down, and Feng Hongluan had a proud and naughty smile on her face, just like when she was a teenager.
