“Don’t worry, this is our Yang family’s territory; we will do our best.” King Xian reassured the Emperor.
“Indeed, but the new Emperor is still young. You have to take care of your health and give him guidance for two more years.” King An added.
“I’ll try my best.” The Emperor looked at King Xian and said, “Brother, I’ll leave the new Emperor’s ascension to you. Make it as grand as possible, and make a good start. I hope that our country can prosper.”
“I understand. Don’t worry.”
After that, the three of them chatted for a while more about the matters of the imperial court before King An and King Xian took their leave.
After they left, the Emperor gave Eunuch Li a look.
The reason he leaked the news in advance was to see if there were any remaining dissenters or traitors inside and outside the palace.
Eunuch Li nodded and went to make the arrangements.
Fortunately, the night passed safely.
The next morning, the Emperor announced six imperial edicts.
The first was to confer King Rui the title of Crown Prince and ascend the throne in seven days.
Second, the Empress, Concubine Shu, King Hui, and King Kang forced the palace to rebel. They were granted a cup of poisoned wine.
“Hong Suzhi is Consort Kang. She must die.” The Emperor said firmly.
When Lord Hong heard this, he was elated. Yes, her daughter was a princess consort.
King Kang had committed the crime of treason. As his consort, Hong Suzhi had to die, but she could survive with another identity.
“I understand. Then...”
“I’ll inform you when the time comes.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“I hope you can assist the new Emperor well.”
“This old minister is willing to do his best.”
After he left, the Emperor called Xiao Heng over and handed Hong Suzhi’s matter to him to arrange.
After Xiao Heng received the news, he took two masks and found a palace maid who looked similar to Hong Suzhi in the palace. She changed into a guard uniform and was brought to King Kang’s Residence.
On the other end, after Zhou Ying received the news, she handed all the silver notes she had to Gu Chengrui and asked him to buy the manor and shop that he had his eyes on.
Later that night, Gu Chengrui handed her three contracts and said, “I also bought an ordinary manor that belongs to the Su Family.
“There’s 2,000 acres of land, 500 acres of rice, 100 acres of sweet potatoes, and the rest are planted with radishes and cabbages.
“This way, we won’t have to worry about not having food to eat this winter..”
