The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

What do you mean?

The court officials listened attentively. The emperor's question of what to do was about what to do after capturing King Cheng and his wife.

Or the question is, the crown prince has passed away, and now the prime minister has been confirmed to be of royal blood and the legitimate son of the emperor and the queen, what should be done with him?

Before the other court officials could react, Grand Tutor Yuan Guanyu had already strode forward:

"Your Majesty, Prince Cheng and his wife plotted a rebellion. Fortunately, Prime Minister Xie suppressed it, and Your Majesty's life was saved. Prime Minister Xie and his wife have made great contributions. I think Your Majesty should appoint Prime Minister Xie as the Crown Prince and his wife as the Crown Princess."

Chu Ren also immediately stepped forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and his wife risked their lives to save you. This time it is confirmed that Prime Minister Xie is of royal blood. The Crown Prince has passed away. I also think that Prime Minister Xie should be appointed as the Crown Prince.

"As long as the crown prince is appointed, the emperor will hand over all government affairs to the crown prince. From then on, there will be no more disputes over succession, and the saying that twins are a bad omen will be self-defeating."

The emperor was furious. What about appointing a crown prince and handing over the government? It was just another way of saying that he was forced to give up his throne and power.

He looked at Xie Lin and Chu Heyi with cold eyes, wanting to know what the couple meant!

Chu Heyi was seen holding a sword in one hand and holding Xie Lin's hand with the other. The newlywed couple stood in the brightly lit area, and for a moment it was impossible to see the expressions on their faces clearly.

It was quiet here, but there were still sounds of fighting in the distance. Even if he didn't see it, Chu Heyi could imagine the scene of everyone's blood splattering.

Today she and Xie Lin were getting married, but the emperor ordered her to be put to death. If she and Xie Lin had not prepared in advance, their bodies would have been cold by now.

But in their previous lives, they did die, and their deaths were unjust and miserable.

Just tonight, when the poisoned wine was delivered to Xie's house, when she and Xie Lin were on their way to the palace, after seeing what the emperor did, Chu Heyi thought a lot.

Thinking back to her previous life, her eldest brother lost both legs, her father and fourth brother died in the battlefield, and her entire family was forced to leave Shengjing City and flee.

In order to prevent the Xie Mansion from collapsing, Xie Lin, with his frail body, protected his entire family, young and old, from numerous sword attacks. During the entire process, he was exhausted and was either vomiting blood and fainting, or on the way to vomiting blood and fainting.

It was not until the Chu and Xie families were exterminated that their pain and sparks of hope were completely extinguished.

She once thought that this result was entirely caused by Runxue and Dongfang Shuo. It was because of their wolfish ambitions that they plundered all the resources of the Chu and Xie families. They were afraid that they would make a comeback, so they wanted to kill them all.

After all, Runxue once said, "A single spark can start a prairie fire."

She believed it, so she directed all her hatred towards Runxue and Dongfang Shuo.

But in this life, she had experienced many things. In the battle with Runxue, she had come into contact with the imperial power. She had been unhappy for a long time. But tonight, just now, she suddenly realized...

The extermination of the Chu and Xie families was not just the work of Runxue and Dongfang Shuo, but also the Queen's secret actions and the Emperor's private approval.

It turns out that the sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Chu and Xie clans is not only Runxue and Dongfang Shuo, but also the emperor and empress who are at the pinnacle of power and high above everyone else.

In her previous life, she had to retreat out of necessity, but in this life, she and Xie Lin had walked here hand in hand, with so much blood and countless lives under their feet. How could she retreat?

How could she once again hand over her life and the lives of her family to the hands of the emperor who once condoned Runxue and his wife's plunder and murder of her entire family?

At this moment in her life, even if the country is in turmoil and Daqi is overthrown, she will never retreat!

Suddenly, Chu Heyi raised his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a blade, meeting the emperor's gaze. He was so strong and fearless, without any retreat.

When the emperor met her gaze, he suddenly felt as if he was being hit by a sword. He trembled all over, and his face turned pale in an instant after he recovered a little.

Chu Heyi said calmly, "Although my husband was born a prince, he never enjoyed any treatment as a prince. On the contrary, despite his frail body, he did a lot for Daqi, protected many people, and saved the emperor from danger twice. Only then was he promoted from a mere merchant to prime minister. I believe that my husband is worthy of the responsibility of being a crown prince."

The atmosphere at the scene was silent for a moment.

The ministers of the Taifu faction immediately stepped forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the Cheng Wang and his wife have committed many evil deeds and should be severely punished. Prime Minister Xie and his wife have repeatedly made great contributions and should also be rewarded. Only when rewards and punishments are appropriate can it be beneficial for the development and growth of Daqi."

The emperor looked deeply at Xie Lin, and Xie Lin did not shy away from his gaze, as if he was determined to get the position of crown prince.

The emperor understood that all the conspiracies tonight were planned by Prince Cheng and his wife in order to seize the position of crown prince.

Although Xie Lin and his wife went with the flow and took advantage of the situation, they did not reject the position of crown prince.

And it is obvious that Chu Heyi wants to move up. She wants to take her destiny into her own hands. As for Xie Lin, he will give her whatever Chu Heyi wants.

The last glimmer of hope in the emperor's heart was completely shattered.

The throne was gone, so he could only save his life. The emperor closed his eyes and said resignedly: "My dear ministers, what you said is exactly what I think!

"Prime Minister Xie is such an outstanding person, but he is actually my bloodline that has been lost abroad. Now that Prime Minister Xie's life story has been revealed and he has returned to his roots, it is a blessing for Daqi and the people. I will grant your request and enthrone Xie Lin as the Crown Prince of Daqi.

"I am old and weak. From now on, all state affairs will be handed over to the crown prince." After saying this, the emperor spat out another mouthful of blood and fell into Yao An's arms.

This time, it was really as he said, he was old and in poor health.

Yuan Taifu immediately took the lead and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

All of a sudden, outside the East Palace, voices shouting “Your Majesty is wise” came one after another. To the emperor, it was like a mountain or sea rushing over, drowning him.

The queen collapsed into Nanny An's arms, tears streaming down her pale face. She won, she actually won, she won back her position as queen, and also won back her life.

However, she never expected that the person who won her the final victory would be Xie Lin, the child she abandoned twenty-three years ago.

Xie Lin never looked at her from beginning to end, but after being appointed as the crown prince by the emperor, he looked at Chu Heyi.

Both of them had complicated emotions, not knowing how to face each other, but they both knew very well that tonight they had crossed the line of death hand in hand and successfully walked onto the road to life.

It doesn't get any better than this.

Then... hug one? Thinking of this, Chu Heyi threw away the sword in his hand, opened his arms and hugged Xie Lin.

Xie Lin was stunned for a moment, then hugged her back.

After life and death, what could be happier than this hug? They can truly feel each other's presence and share each other's body temperature.

"Sir!" Wangshan, covered in blood, strode over. With a plop, he knelt on the ground, breaking this extremely warm hug.
