I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 322 Fu Cha Lang Ya 38 (End)

The emperor fainted!

The emperor is in a coma!

When this news came out, the concubines in the harem were a little uneasy, and some concubines with children also had some thoughts. But when they thought that the Queen's eldest son was so old and very capable, and that the Emperor valued him very much, their thoughts quickly melted away like boiling soup poured on snow.

Over the years, they have seen some things.

The eldest prince Yonglian is the legitimate son, smart and capable. He has been with the emperor for many years and has been taught by the emperor himself.

Sometimes when there were matters at court, the emperor would ask the eldest prince for his opinion. The eldest prince did not disappoint the emperor’s trust and quickly came up with a solution that was well-reasoned and handled appropriately.

They couldn't do it when the emperor was still in trouble. Now that the emperor is in trouble, can they do it?

When I think about this, it seems like a fantasy.

When the emperor was in trouble, Langya didn't want the harem to be unstable. After all, she suppressed these things easily and nothing serious happened.

In the previous dynasty, after learning that the emperor was in trouble, some old princes, royal relatives, and ministers whom the emperor trusted very much came to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. After knowing that the emperor would not wake up in a short time, they began to discuss how to deal with the next things.

Some scheming old princes wanted to use this opportunity to gain more power, and the court officials were no less successful.

But what's the point of them discussing this? It's all in vain.

Langya has not been unprepared over the years. She has not only trained a large number of people, but all of these people can help Yonglian.

Yonglian was very capable, and with the help of the Fucha family outside the palace, he quickly took control of the imperial palace. Moreover, the ministers had known for many years that the emperor's heir was Prince Yonglian. Now that the emperor was in trouble, it was only natural for Prince Yonglian to serve as regent.

But some people, seeing that Yonglian was young, became ambitious and wanted to take advantage of his seniority and force Yonglian to gain more benefits.

Yonglian did not tolerate them either. He punished those who deserved to be punished, confiscated their property, and exiled them. In this way, Yonglian severely cleaned out the corrupt officials in the court who were harming the country.

The ministers were also frightened. No one expected that Prince Yonglian would act so decisively.

So no one dared to cause trouble. Facts have proved that only a few people are willing to take the risk.

Through this incident, Yonglian also arranged some of his own people in certain positions, and his control over the court became stronger.

Yonglian was busy in the front court, and so was Langya in the harem. With Langya around, the concubines in the harem did not dare to act recklessly.

Their lives are no different from before, except that they no longer have to compete for favor. They can raise children, go to parties, and become more beautiful. Without men, life is still quite comfortable.

The emperor has not woken up yet. He has been in a coma and is looked after by an imperial physician every day.

At the beginning, some concubines still hoped that the emperor could wake up. After all, they had children, and there was a difference between having a father on the throne and having a brother on the throne.

But as time went on, they felt that hope was slim and that the emperor might not wake up, so they gradually stopped coming and turned to please Langya or Yonglian.

A beautiful and enjoyable life always passes quickly, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The emperor, who had been in a coma in the Yangxin Palace, was in worse health, and the imperial physician also announced the bad news.

The emperor has not woken up for such a long time, and everyone has no hope anymore.

Moreover, the imperial harem has been peaceful in the past two years, as if the presence or absence of Emperor Hongli has no impact.

Finally one day, the unconscious emperor died without even opening his eyes.

After the funeral of the late emperor, Prince Yonglian inherited the throne and Langya became the empress dowager again.

Many of the late emperor's concubines had children. Those with adult children moved out of the palace to live with their children. Those who were not yet adults could move out with their children after they got married.

As for the concubines without children, Langya had no choice but to live in the Shoukang and Shouan Palaces.

Langya had no conflicts with them, so whenever she went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, she would take them with her so that they would have the opportunity to go out. They couldn't stay in these two palaces for the rest of their lives.

Every day that Langya became the empress dowager was carefree, and she only had to think about how to enjoy herself.

After Yonglian's wedding, Langya handed all matters over to the Queen. She had been in charge for so many years and didn't want to take care of it anymore.

But she still has people who belong to her in the harem. Yonglian is her biological son. He will have more and more concubines in the future. Yonglian's children are his grandchildren, and she doesn't want anything to happen to her grandchildren.

In the previous dynasty, after stabilizing the court, Yonglian began top-down reforms and implemented many measures for the country and the people.

Widely open up imperial examinations, recruit talents, fight corruption, ban foot binding, lift the ban on maritime trade, train soldiers, develop more lethal weapons, etc.

Under Yonglian's tough stance, these measures were very effective and the Qing Dynasty was given a new look.

When officials who went abroad to other countries returned, they brought back large amounts of gold, silver, jewelry, knowledge, technology, talents, and slaves.

This shocked the imperial court. They didn't expect the barbarians to be so rich. Looking at the things they brought, the ministers were very excited. They thought these things should belong to their Celestial Empire.

After this incident, people became more interested in the outside world, and more people went out to make money, bringing more wealth to the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, as the Qing Dynasty had more talented people and more powerful weapons, some ambitious vassal states around the Qing Dynasty were eliminated. And because the Qing Dynasty brought back many slaves from outside, these slaves were the advance troops of the Qing Dynasty to attack land. Because of their existence, the Qing Dynasty not only gained more land, but also the Qing Dynasty soldiers did not suffer many casualties. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

As the territory expanded and the national strength increased, the surrounding vassal states were frightened, and because of the Qing Dynasty's intimidation, they became more respectful to the Qing Dynasty.

Every year the tribute was doubled, and no one dared to have any second thoughts.

It is worth mentioning that while expanding the territory, the restless small country of Yu was destroyed, and the prince that Jin Yuyan had been thinking about has now become a prisoner.

Langya was kind enough to let Jin Yuyan know about this.

Ever since the emperor locked her up with Bai Ruiji, the two enemies have been extremely jealous of each other whenever they meet. One can imagine what kind of life they live every day.

When she received the news, Jin Yuyan was sitting on a bench in the corridor, in a daze, thinking about the past.

Bai Ruiji died two years ago. She died in great pain because she was tortured to death by Jin Yuyan. She deserved to die. If it weren't for her, she would never have ended up in this situation.

Long after Bai Ruiji died, she felt a little regretful, because she was the only one left here, no one talked to her, and she was really lonely.

Life is hard and sad, and Jin Yuyan is not having an easy time. She already has a lot of white hair, her cheeks are thin, her body is shriveled, and she looks like she is filled with death. If it weren't for the support of the Crown Prince and her motherland, she would have died long ago.

But now her only support is gone. She heard from outside that the prince she had been thinking about had given up on her long ago, and now the Yu family has been destroyed.

She was in unbearable pain and couldn't breathe. She staggered and fell to the ground. She gradually couldn't breathe and she felt like her heart was dying.

Prince, how could you do this to me? I did this all for you.

She lay on the ground with her eyes wide open, and gradually stopped breathing. However, her eyes remained open after her death, as if expressing her unwillingness and despair.

Now that the only thing has been dealt with, Langya feels that every day from now on will be brilliant and she should enjoy life wholeheartedly.
