A Prince's Endless Indulgence-Chapter 1064 - 98, Ascending the Throne as Emperor (Grand Finale 2)

Nowadays, the Capital City is a place where every sound brings fear and every shadow seems like an enemy.

The entire Great Zhou Kingdom is beset by internal strife and external troubles.

On this day, while Lan Yichen was still at home, he was captured and brought into the Imperial Palace. Seeing Noble Consort Le on the ground, covered in wounds, he exclaimed, "Your Highness..."

Noble Consort Le glanced at Lan Yichen and turned her head away.

She didn’t truly love Lan Yichen, but was merely accustomed to the presence of a man, which led them to be involved.

The Emperor barely supporting himself, looked at the pair in front of him, "Take them away and deal with them!"

"Spare me, Your Majesty, spare me!" Noble Consort Le continuously pleaded for mercy.

The Emperor, however, didn’t spare her a glance.

Lan Yichen was taken away to be executed by lingchi, forcing Noble Consort Le to watch his execution.

The rest of the Lan family was banished to the borderlands.

Noble Consort Le went mad and was confined to the Cold Palace, never to see the light of day again.

Whether her madness was real or feigned, no one cared. For the rest of her life, she would never have the chance to leave the Imperial Palace and see the outside world.

On this day, led by Chu Yu, the civil and military officials entered the palace, as the Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne, looking at the imperial decree in Chu Yu’s hand, he laughed aloud, "Father, you are truly ruthless. Even on your deathbed, you must set a trap for your son. You really are partial, exceedingly partial!"

He didn’t lose, he didn’t lose at all.

The Emperor abdicated and was sent to guard the imperial tombs.

As for those Princes, Chu Yu only conferred them as Commandery Princes, imprisoning them within the Wang Residence in the Capital City. If they behaved properly, they would be spared their lives,

After Chu Yu ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to deal with the Yun Family and Marquess Yuanshen’s residence.

They were tried for treason and colluding with the enemy, and were executed in the autumn of the following year at the market place.

Jinnian woke up early, gazing at the incomparably luxurious and beautiful phoenix robe, furrowing her brow, as Chu Yu stepped inside with a smile, "What’s the matter?"

"This phoenix robe is so heavy, can I manage to carry it?"

Chu Yu laughed, "I’ll have the female officials hold it up for you in a while!"

"That sounds better!" Jinnian said delicately, pulling Chu Yu into the inner hall and feeding him the hidden pastries, "How do they taste? Mother made them by hand, and Tianci just brought them this morning. I couldn’t bear to eat them, specially saving them for you!"

"Delicious!" Chu Yu nodded, kissing Jinnian, "Take your time later, don’t hurry or be afraid. I’ll be waiting for you on the steps, from now on you shall be the most noble woman under the sky, no one can surpass you, are you happy?"

"Happy!"

Chu Yu tapped Jinnian’s nose, "I’m happy too!"

After Chu Yu left, Jinnian began to change into the phoenix robe, layering it over herself, it was somewhat heavy, yet Jinnian bore it willingly.

Until the great bell tolled, Jinnian stepped out of the main hall, from Xuanwu Gate to Xuanwu Gate, and then to Taiji Hall, where Chu Yu stood on the high steps, watching the Empress’s palanquin approach, he couldn’t help but step down, and dismissing the female officials, reached out to help Jinnian down.

Leading her towards the steps.

"Jinnian!"

"Hmm?"

"I wish that I can hold your hand for the rest of my life, and continue walking like this!"

Jinnian smiled, "I have a temper that’s not so good!"

"It doesn’t matter, I indulged it, I can handle it!"

Jinnian turned to look at Chu Yu, "They say I can’t have children!"

"You’re still young. I heard from grandfather that having children at a young age is not good, so I secretly took medicine, what does it have to do with you!"

Jinnian looked at Chu Yu in shock, "You took medicine?"

"Yes, it doesn’t harm the body. Let’s wait, until you are older, then we’ll have children. If the first one is a son, we’ll just have this one, and we’ll raise him properly to grow up and hand over this nation to him, how about that?"
