Chapter 860 Extra: Kyoto Chapter
Chapter 860 Extra: Kyoto Chapter
In that year, the fifth son of the previous emperor succeeded to the throne. The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the name of the Tianqi country to: Yuanwu.
In the early years of Yuanwu, the Tianqi Kingdom prospered, four countries came to pay tribute, and the border was stable.
In the early morning, an express horse rushed into Kyoto, carrying an urgent report while the streets were still dark.
The urgent report was passed through layers of channels and finally reached the new emperor.
Emperor Yuanwu, Baili Moshen, the most inconspicuous and least noticeable prince among all the princes, would actually become the final winner of this power struggle in Kyoto.
This is something no one expected.
Wearing a dragon robe, his aura suddenly increased. Although the kingly aura between his brows was not as strong as Baili Moqing's, it was enough to intimidate the world.
It was not until he sat on the throne that all the officials in the court suddenly came to their senses. It turned out that he was the most hidden person in the city of Kyoto!
When all the princes were fighting fiercely, he watched from the other side and stayed out of the matter. When the Ninth Prince finally forced the emperor to abdicate, he stood up!
After the death of the late emperor, the prime minister and the grand tutor agreed with the opinions of the late queen and the princess of Prince Li for the sake of border security. They decided to keep the news of the late emperor's death secret until the border was stabilized before announcing it to the world.
Later, the emperor's will was issued, which clearly stated that Prince Li would inherit the throne, but for some reason, Prince Yong ascended the throne in the end.
Legend has it that the emperor left two wills, and no one knows what was written in the other one.
"What's the matter? Why do you look so serious?"
Just as the palace maid put on the dragon robe for Baili Moshen, Xu Si Nian walked out from the inner room.
She was wearing only a middle garment, without even an outer garment on, and it was obvious that she had just woken up from bed.
Even after Baili Moshen became emperor, he never asked her to get up early to change his clothes.
"Eleven, ran away from marriage."
News has come from the Yunlai border.
"Running away from marriage? Could Eleven do such a big thing?"
Xu Si Nian has a good relationship with Baili Rushu and treats her as his own sister.
"Eleven may seem carefree, but he's not clueless about important matters. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Baili Moshen handed her the letter in his hand and said, "Take a look."
"This……"
Logically speaking, this is a matter of state and she cannot interfere.
As if he could see her concern, he placed the letter in her hand and said, "It's okay. Take a look."
Xu Sinian was not pretentious. After all, it was related to Eleven, and she also wanted to know the details.
"What? Prince Yunlai was killed?!"
"Did Nanqi do it?"
As far as she knew, Nanqi was the capable man beside Prince Li and the person that Eleven was thinking about most.
Didn't they say Nanqi wasn't interested in Shiyi? Why did he snatch her away and end up at Yunlai?
"Husband, how are you going to deal with this?"
Baili Moshen dismissed the maid, took the letter back from her hand, and smiled slightly, "Prince Yunlai wanted to do something illegal. After the matter was exposed, he wanted to kill people to silence them, but was killed by the general of my Tianqi Mission. What is there to say?"
"He's just a crown prince. The last thing the Yunlai Emperor lacks is princes. Besides, Yunlai is in the wrong in this matter, so there's no need to pay attention to it."
"What I'm worried about is that Eleven might not be able to return to Beijing..."
Xu Si Nian sighed softly, feeling somewhat melancholy. "Everyone I knew in Kyoto is gone. I don't even have anyone to talk to."
"I also want to visit the place where my seventh brother's wife lives in seclusion. I heard it's so beautiful there! Zi Le, Zi Zhan, and Zi Yuan were all invited by Yi Er to go to that place outside the mountains, and none of them want to come back."
Baili Moshen looked at her with a hint of heartache in his eyes, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been busy with state affairs every day and really have no time to accompany you."
"Otherwise, I'll send someone to take you to the valley outside the mountain tomorrow, and you can just take it as a way to relax."
Xu Si Nian was surprised. "Is it possible?"
After becoming the queen of a country, can she leave the palace at will?
"can."
Anyway, there is no one to manage his harem, and it is indeed boring for her to be alone in the palace.
Her sparkling eyes turned slightly, and she said, "Yesterday, Ziyi came to see me and said she wanted to go find her brothers and sisters..."
Baili Moshen snorted, "He's the crown prince now, and he still wants to go out and have fun? I think he just doesn't have enough schoolwork! Let the tutor assign him some more tasks today!"
Xu Sinian showed a bit of heartache on his face, "Are you asking too much of Ziyi? He's only eight years old..."
"Eight years old is not young anymore. Only if Ziyi is outstanding enough and can shoulder great responsibilities in the future, their generation will not repeat the mistakes of our generation!"
The two were speechless for a while.
After Baili Moshen went to court, Xu Sinian quickly packed his luggage.
Ziyi came to pay his respects and saw her packing her belongings. A puzzled look appeared on his face. "Mother, are you leaving the palace?"
"No!" Xu Si Nian hurriedly pushed him out, a hint of guilt hidden in his eyes, "Zi Yi, have you finished the homework assigned by the Grand Tutor this morning?"
Ziyi hung his head dejectedly, his face exhausted. "Mother, why is my homework heavier today?"
"Mother, I am so tired!!"
Seeing his son about to cry, Xu Si Nian's face was filled with heartache. He comforted him, "Zi Yi, you are the crown prince of a country. You will be responsible for the people of the world in the future. The hardships you endure today are all for the people to live a better life in the future!"
"Don't you admire your Seventh Uncle the most? Then do you know how much hardship your Seventh Uncle suffered as a child?"
Ziyi shook his head.
"Your Majesty, your mother heard from your father that when the Seventh Prince was a child, after finishing his schoolwork every day, he would find extra homework to do! His daily homework was the heaviest of all the other Princes! That's why he is so outstanding today!"
"Since you admire the Seventh Uncle, you must also learn from him, motivate yourself, and grow! Only in this way can you keep up with the Seventh Uncle and become a hero admired by all the people in the world!!"
Ziyi's little face showed a hint of longing and anticipation, and the tiredness on his face was swept away. "Mother is right! Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best! I will work harder and emulate the Seventh Uncle!"
"Mother, I won't stay there any longer. I need to go practice swordplay, and then read a book after that!"
"Go ahead, my dear son, try your best!!"
As soon as Baili Ziyi left, Xu Si Nian hurriedly urged the head maid beside her, "Pack up quickly, we're leaving the capital tonight!"
She also wants to go to Yifang City to call Baili Ruyun!
This was the best thing they had ever had. They thought there was no chance, but unexpectedly, happiness came so quickly!
