The lady who is a miracle doctor arrives and makes the general blush and his heart beats

On the fourth day of the eleventh month of the fourth year of the Kangding reign, Prince of Qin Zhao Yingyi ascended the throne in the Purple Palace and accepted the homage of all civil and military officials. On the same day, he posthumously conferred the title of Empress Dowager Duanrou on his mother, Consort Qin Shufei, and named Princess Lu as empress.

When a new monarch ascends the throne, it is customary to change the reign title. The Ministry of Rites carefully drafted five reign titles, namely Jingtai, Qianyuan, Taiping, Mingdao and Yuanxi, and presented them to Qin Youran, asking him to choose one as the reign title.

However, Qin Youran had been busy for days and was already exhausted. He didn't want to bother with such trivial matters as choosing a reign title.

He glanced nonchalantly at the document handed to him by the eunuch, and said impatiently: "In my opinion, these reign titles are nothing new. Kangding is very good. There is no need to change it. Just continue to use Kangding as the reign title."

After hearing this, the Minister of Rites frowned and said sternly, "Your Majesty, this is not possible. Since ancient times, there has never been a situation where two emperors shared the same reign title. This is unreasonable."

"Why not? I am the rule!"

Qin Youran vented his impatience directly on the Minister of Rites, his voice floating in the Wende Hall like waves.

This was the first time that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin got angry after ascending the throne. All the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the Wende Hall hung their heads and held their breath.

Qin Youran stood up, flicked his wide sleeves, and walked away, leaving the Minister of Rites stunned.

……

On New Year's Eve, heavy snow was falling in the capital, and the corridors and glazed tiles of the palace were covered with a thick layer of cotton wool.

Lu Tianyun was wearing a thick moon-white fox fur coat and walking hurriedly on the palace road, followed by several eunuchs and maids holding lanterns.

"Empress, the road is slippery, please walk slowly." The palace servant followed Lu Tianyun's pace and reminded her.

Lu Tianyun was extremely anxious and didn't listen to the palace servants' instructions. She walked hurriedly and soon arrived at Zhaohua Palace.

Zhaohua Hall is the palace where the late Concubine Qin Shufei once lived.

Yesterday, Qin Youran went to the Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother and then disappeared. Lu Tianyun looked for him for the whole day.

Lu Tianyun walked into Zhaohua Hall and finally saw Qin Youran in the inner hall, as well as wine jugs and bottles on the ground.

Qin Youran was sitting on the ground with a bottle of wine in her hand. She had only drunk half of the bottle.

Lu Tianyun looked at the wine jars and bottles on the ground, squatted down, and asked Qin Youran with concern, "Your Majesty, why did you drink so much?"

Qin Youran reached out and felt the ground, picked up a bottle of wine and stuffed it into Lu Tianyun's hand, "Come, let's drink together. I just want to drink."

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to drink." Lu Tianyun said. She was more concerned about why Qin Youran suddenly got drunk to relieve his sorrow.

"Come on, let's drink together."

Qin Youran pulled Lu Tianyun's arm, and Lu Tianyun fell to the ground.

Qin Youran held the bottle and gently touched it with the bottle in Lu Tianyun's hand, "Drink with me."

Then, Qin Youran took a sip of wine to show off.

Soon, the bottle was empty and Qin Youran took another jar of wine and started drinking.

Lu Tianyun just watched Qin Youran drink one sip after another.

"Lu Tianyun, our future lives have been arranged by our royal brother. Are you willing?" Qin Youran suddenly asked.

Lu Tianyun was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Qin Youran to ask her about this. She looked at Qin Youran, and her phoenix eyes reflected Qin Youran's handsome face.

She clinked the bottle in her hand with Qin Youran's and said slowly, "Zhao Yingyi, if that person is someone else, I would not want to be with you. But if that person is you, I am willing."

Qin Youran was slightly stunned, raised a smile that seemed like a smile, and soon felt relieved.

Qin Youran shook the jar of wine in his hand, turned his head to look at Lu Tianyun, and asked, "Do you know how my mother and sister died?"

Lu Tianyun nodded, "I know. Aunt Sang said that the reason why Empress Dowager Duanrou was pregnant was because my aunt instigated Concubine Fang and Concubine Yu De to secretly murder Empress Dowager Duanrou. It was my aunt who killed Empress Dowager Duanrou and Princess Huiyang."

Qin Youran shook her head, "It wasn't your aunt. The real murderer who killed my mother and sister was not the Queen Mother."

"Hmm?" Lu Tianyun looked puzzled.

Qin Youran took a deep breath and said, "In fact, the real murderer who killed my mother and sister was my father."

Lu Tianyun was shocked, thinking she had heard it wrongly, "What?"

Qin Youran's voice was filled with sadness and irony. "Is it ridiculous? The mastermind behind the murder of my mother and sister turned out to be my own father!"

"The Empress Dowager told me that it was my father who instructed her to instigate Consort De and Consort Gui to murder my mother. At that time, Consort De and Consort Gui's maternal families were powerful, and my father was hindered in implementing the new policy. He was eager to eliminate the forces headed by the Fang and Yu families, and my mother became a sacrifice for my father to consolidate his imperial power."

At this point, Qin Youran's voice trembled, her eyes filled with pain and resentment, "My mother and sister are just pawns used by my father to eliminate the power of the Fang and Yu families."

After hearing this, Lu Tianyun was horrified.

Emperor Xiangfu turned out to be such a cold-blooded and heartless person, so ruthless that he used his concubines and royal heirs as rafts to eliminate the forces of the previous dynasty that threatened him.

Lu Tianyun looked at Qin Youran, her almond-shaped eyes filled with heartache.

Qin Youran took a sip of wine, his voice was desolate, "It's so cold up there in the jade buildings."

Lu Tianyun leaned against Qin Youran's side, holding Qin Youran's arms with both hands, resting her head on his shoulder, and said softly, "Even if it's cold up there, I will stay with you, Your Highness, and never leave you."

Qin Youran stretched out his hand and hugged Lu Tianyun tightly in his arms. He slowly closed his eyes, trying to absorb the warmth from Lu Tianyun to warm his cold body and mind.

From that day on, Qin Youran restrained all his emotions, as if he wanted to tell everyone that he was Zhao Yingyi, no longer Qin Youran.

He learned how to handle state affairs, adopted the advice of his ministers, and consulted ministers and some scholars when he did not understand something.

In just one year, his unrestrained and unruly character was completely replaced by restraint and steadiness. Lu Tianyun could hardly see any joy, anger, sorrow or happiness on his face. He had learned how to be an emperor. She looked at Qin Youran who was busy handling government affairs and suddenly felt a little distressed.

Lu Tianyun thought, if he had a choice, he would rather continue to be Qin Youran.

But he is Zhao Yingyi after all, not the real Qin Youran.

On October 28, the fifth year of the Kangding reign, Empress Lu Tianyun gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, who was named Zhao Wuxian by Zhao Yingyi.

On the day of the hundred-day banquet, Zhao Yingyi held the red swaddling clothes, looked at the delicate and bubbly baby in his arms, and solemnly announced that the eldest prince Zhao Wuxian would be the crown prince, causing an uproar among the ministers.

In the eighth year of the Kangding reign, Zhao Yingyi selected Lord Xiao Kong, the son of Confucius, as the Prince's Tutor, responsible for teaching the three-year-old prince.

In the same year, a court official wrote a letter to persuade Zhao Yingyi to take more concubines and have more offspring. Zhao Yingyi issued an edict that anyone who dared to mention the matter of taking concubines again would be beheaded!

Once the decree against taking concubines was issued, the ministers who had been ready to act had no choice but to give up some of their thoughts.

Five years had allowed Zhao Yingyi to become a qualified king, but the once free and unrestrained Prince Qin no longer existed.

……

The spring is cold and the drizzle has just stopped.

While reviewing the memorials, Zhao Yingyi fell asleep on his desk out of exhaustion. The eunuch was about to wake up the emperor, but was stopped by Lu Tianyun, who brought him ginseng soup.

Lu Tianyun stared at the sleeping Zhao Yingyi and softly signaled to the leading eunuch, who then quietly withdrew with the young eunuchs waiting in the hall.

She walked forward slowly, her movements extremely gentle, without making any sound, for fear of waking Zhao Yingyi.

She gently took off her cloak and carefully put it on Zhao Yingyi. Even so, Zhao Yingyi was unaware and continued to sleep, obviously extremely tired.

Zhao Yingyi worked hard for state affairs all day and slept less than three hours a day. Lu Tianyun saw it and felt pain in his heart.

She looked at the memorials on the table, saw the man's slightly furrowed brows, put the messy memorials away neatly and placed them aside.

When Zhao Yingyi woke up, it was already late.

Lu Tianyun couldn't remember how many times Zhao Yingyi had fallen asleep on his desk because he was so tired from handling state affairs...

In the 17th year of Kangding, Zhao Yingyi died at the age of 35.

A month later, Crown Prince Zhao Wuxian ascended the throne. As the emperor was young, Empress Dowager Lu Tianyun took charge of government affairs.

Lu Tianyun, who was dressed in plain clothes, held Hua Fushu's hand tightly and said with tears in her eyes: "The late emperor placed the heavy responsibility of the country on him. For the past thirteen years, he has hardly had a good night's sleep due to state affairs and often feels exhausted. Since he learned the truth about the death of Empress Dowager Duanrou and Princess Huiyang, he has often been depressed. I know he can no longer hold on..."

Zhao Yingyi.

I wish you could be free and unfettered in heaven;

I hope that in your next life, you are not a royal prince, but just a free and easy wandering crane.

I hope you and I can meet again in the next life.
