The first return was the restlessness after eight years of escape from marriage, and the second return was the pride of bloodbathing the wasteland and guarding the frontier.
Listening to those faint cheers, she knew that she was one step closer to being the Emperor of the Lingdu Dynasty.
After eight years of tossing and turning, he was finally able to control his own destiny.
Lan Jian rode a horse and followed Lan Xinyu. Feng Wuhen chose to leave Lan Jian behind before leaving the army. Some things, some people, Lan Xinyu was not easy to do, so he had to let Lan Jian do it for him.
After a long time, the army finally arrived at the city of Lingdu.
Those guarding outside the city, in addition to thousands of common people, also lined up to welcome, civil and military officials, all of them wanted Lan Xinyu to express enough respect.
Lan Xinyu looked at the excited crowd and squeezed out a smile. Until this moment, she was completely relaxed.
At this time, an official walked out of the hundred officials, came to Lan Xinyu's horse, and saluted respectfully.
The new Minister of Rites, Xue Rui.
"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness for returning to Beijing. The border has won a great victory, and the whole country is celebrating. Her Royal Highness has contributed a lot, and the people of the world will definitely remember it in their hearts."
Xue Rui said respectfully while saluting.
"There's no need to be too polite. During the time I've been away, everything in Lingdu City is alright?"
Lan Xinyu looked at Xue Rui and asked with a smile.
This time when she went to the border to fight, she not only took away the Black Armor Army, but also all the shadow guards, so she didn't know anything about Lingdu City.
After hearing Lan Xinyu's question, Xue Rui's face changed, and a trace of deep pain appeared on his face.
"What's wrong?! What happened?!"
Lan Xinyu noticed the change in Xue Rui's expression and couldn't help frowning.
"Returning to the princess, the former emperor has passed away. It was the hand of the seventh prince, Lan Muling, who has been executed on the spot. I have come to welcome the princess back to the palace by the order of the emperor."
Xue Rui sighed and said slowly.
After hearing Xue Rui's words, Lan Xinyu was stunned for a moment, her face froze.
The first emperor?Emperor?
What exactly happened during this time? !
"Father is gone?!"
Lan Xinyu frowned, asked with trembling lips, her eyes were red.
"It passed away half a month ago, and it has now been buried in the imperial tomb."
Xue Rui nodded and said, with a sad face.
After hearing Xue Rui's answer, Lan Xinyu felt his eyes go dark for an instant, and almost fell off the horse, Lan Jian hurriedly held him up.
"Princess, please calm down. Fortunately, the emperor has already sought justice for the late emperor and beheaded the murderer for public display."
Xue Rui choked up and said.
"Who is the new emperor?!"
Lan Xinyu took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked coldly.
"Second prince."
Xue Rui lowered his voice and said.
According to the rules, Lan Rushi is now the emperor's honor and can no longer be called a prince.
After hearing Xue Rui's answer, Lan Xinyu was shocked again. She didn't expect that the second brother who was the most useless in everyone's eyes would become the emperor of Lingdu Dynasty before anyone else.
All of a sudden, Lan Xinyu felt powerless for a while. She had worked so hard to support her until now, but she didn't expect that someone would take the lead.
"Lead the way."
After a long time, Lan Xinyu finally calmed down and gave an order weakly.
"Return to Your Royal Highness, the emperor has ordered the army to return to the Gufengling camp, and call other generals into the palace to be enshrined in another day."
Xue Rui hesitated for a moment, then said slowly.
Lan Xinyu frowned, turned her head and signaled to the generals behind her, and then rode towards the city.
"Princess returns to the palace, idlers stay away!"
Xue Rui nodded immediately, turned around and shouted to the crowd behind him.
Immediately afterwards, Lan Xinyu entered the Lingdu City surrounded by civil and military officials, and the 20 troops also changed direction and returned to the Gufengling Camp.
...
Royal Palace.
Sleeping Dragon Hall.
"Xinyu, you are finally back! How are you doing? Are you not injured?"
Seeing Lan Xinyu slowly walking into the hall, Lan Rushi, who was wearing a dragon robe, hurried forward and asked worriedly while looking at Lan Xinyu's whole body.
"Second brother."
Lan Xinyu said hello expressionlessly.
She never imagined that the person who took away her position as emperor was actually her second elder brother who had always loved her so much.
"Your Highness, you should call me the Emperor now."
The new Chief Eunuch Xu Hui coughed and reminded in a low voice.
This person used to be a young eunuch who served Lan Wuxian in the palace. After Lan Rushi succeeded the emperor, he replaced Xue Shu as the new chief eunuch.
"shut up!"
"There is no difference between king and minister between me and Xinyu, there is no need to be bound by common etiquette."
Lan Rushi's expression darkened immediately, and he stared at Xu Hui and said loudly.
Xu Hui shrank his neck and shut his mouth hastily.
"Xinyu has met the emperor."
Lan Xinyu frowned, bowed and saluted, and greeted again.
"Xinyu, what are you doing? You and I don't need to be so polite. Look, who is that?"
Lan Rushi straightened his face, pretended to be angry and complained to Lan Xinyu, and then pointed to the entrance of the main hall.
Lan Xinyu turned around when he heard the words, and then his face changed.
"Mother concubine!"
After the words fell, Lan Xinyu had already rushed to the entrance of the main hall.
On the way back, she already knew what happened recently from Xue Rui.Knowing that the concubine mother was captured by Lan Muling, and also knowing that Lan Rushi took the throne of emperor by virtue of his father's will, and that Lan Muling was beheaded on the spot by Lan Rushi.
"Xinyu, my daughter! You really are not dead!"
"Just come back, just come back!"
When Lin Qingshu saw Lan Xinyu, her eyes burst into tears, she hugged Lan Xinyu into her arms, and said with a sob.
"I am fine."
Lan Xinyu put her arms around her mother and said softly, she felt relieved.
Lan Muling claimed that she already knew about her death in battle...
3 Chapter Seventy
Lingdu City.
Royal Palace.
Sleeping Dragon Hall.
"Thank you, the emperor, for saving the mother and concubine from Lan Muling. Xinyu is extremely grateful and will definitely repay you in the future."
After reuniting with her mother and concubine, Lan Xinyu bowed respectfully to Lan Ru and said seriously.
She cared more about the safety of her mother and concubine than the position of emperor. If something happened to her mother, even if she took the position of emperor, it would have lost all meaning.
"Xinyu, what are you talking about, you are too polite, as long as you are fine."
"Second brother, I was also very sad when I heard the news that you died in battle in the wasteland. Immediately afterwards, Lan Muling revealed her ambition again. She actually killed her father herself and arrested your mother."
"In desperation, I had no choice but to take out the imperial father's will. In fact, I have never had any unreasonable thoughts about the position of emperor from the beginning to the end, but the position of emperor must not fall into Lan Muling's hands, otherwise There will be no peace in the world."
"I just didn't expect Lan Muling to be lying about everything. It's great that you're still alive. If you want to take this seat, Second Brother can give it to you right now."
Lan Rushi sighed, and said with some emotion, looking at Lan Xinyu with an unusually serious expression.
"What did the second brother say? Since the second brother is sitting in this seat, how dare Xinyu overstep it, as long as the position of emperor does not fall into the hands of Lan Muling, don't worry, Xinyu will definitely assist with all his strength in the future."
Lan Xinyu shook her head and said the same seriously.
"Well, since you refuse like this, then the second brother would be more respectful than obedient."
"However, Xinyu, now the military power of the Lingdu Dynasty is in your hands. Since the second elder brother has sat on the throne of the emperor, and you have returned triumphantly, shouldn't it be time to hand over the military power?"
"I heard that the Golden Spirit Tiger Talisman is in your hand. It is a token of the Lingdu dynasty. If it is convenient, I will leave it to the second brother for safekeeping. You can't let the second brother, the emperor, have no soldiers to call?"
Lan Rushi looked at Lan Xinyu seriously, and said with a smile.
"Of course it should, but now that the border war has just been settled and the morale is booming, Xinyu wants to use this opportunity to rectify military discipline. After everything is settled, he will hand over the soldier talisman to the second brother."
Lan Xinyu nodded and said sincerely.
After hearing Lan Xinyu's answer, Lan Rushi narrowed her eyes, but then nodded and smiled.
"Okay, if this is the case, then I will work hard for you, don't work too hard."
"Okay, you mother and daughter have just been reunited, so go back to Yushu Palace to rest early."
Lan Rushi nodded and said slowly.
"Xinyu will leave."
Lan Xinyu saluted, then turned around and took Lin Qingshu away from Sleeping Dragon Hall.
Seeing Lan Xinyu slowly leaving the hall, Lan Rushi, who was sitting on the dragon couch, immediately sank, and a stern look flashed in her eyes.
"Pay close attention to the Gufeng Ridge camp, and report any abnormalities to me in time!"
Immediately afterwards, Lan Rushi said something coldly.
"Yes!"
Xu Hui, who was standing aside, bowed in salute and respectfully agreed.
...
Yushu Palace.
"Do you still hate your father?"
"Now that he is no longer alive, it is time to let go of any resentment, right?"
Lin Qingshu looked at Lan Xinyu and asked slowly, with a lonely expression.
"it's already over."
"No matter what ever happened, everything is in the past, there is no resentment or no resentment."
Lan Xinyu frowned and said slowly.
In fact, she stopped resenting her a long time ago, and even turned into remorse, hating herself for not forgiving her father earlier.
"He is buried in the imperial mausoleum. Let's go to worship sometime. He must be very worried about you."
Lin Qingshu glanced at her daughter lovingly, and said sadly.
"Let's wait another day, there are still some things to deal with in the barracks."
Lan Xinyu nodded and said.
"Since you have succeeded to the position of emperor, I think you can hand over the military power. The mother and concubine are tired of the intrigue within the palace walls. Don't you get tired of it? Let it go if you have to."
Lin Qingshu looked at Lan Xinyu and said seriously.
"understood."
