"Okay, then you sit in the front and I'll sit in the back." Su Qiao didn't want to sit in the front anymore, because she was petite and sitting in the front felt like being held in the arms of an adult.
"No, you sit in the front. I have to protect you and prevent you from falling off the horse."
On this point, Xihanzhou was determined to safeguard his own rights and interests and would not retreat even a single step.
"..." Could she possibly fall off a horse while riding it
*
Half a month later, late one night, the manor where the Fourth Prince lived suddenly caught fire. The Fourth Prince, unable to move due to his unhealed leg injury, was burned to death in the house.
Because the fire was so intense, even the servants’ attempts to rescue him were unsuccessful.
And Su Yuxin, dragging one leg, managed to save his life.
It was not until this time that Xi Hanzhou realized that Su Qiao was avenging him for his previous life.
She wanted to let the Fourth Prince Ximuyan also experience the feeling of being burned to death by fire.
Afterwards, Su Qiao kept his promise and took Su Yuxin out. He found a medium-sized courtyard in a city not far from the capital, assigned ten servants there, gave her the dowry left by her mother, and settled her down.
Although Su Yuxin had a house, servants, and money, and no one dared to bully her because of the queen Su Qiao, she was not happy in this life.
She killed her loving mother with her own hands, and burned to death the man she loved with her own hands. She dreamed every day, and her dreams were full of blood and raging fire.
After this series of events, Prime Minister Su was demoted by the Emperor, and was later targeted by General Gu's mansion. In the end, he had to withdraw from the court.
He originally wanted to do business, but was suppressed by General Gu everywhere. In the end, he could do nothing and could only stay in his house drinking every day, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, and continued to dream of becoming an official.
The ministers thought that Prime Minister Su had already retired from the court and the Su family was no longer as prosperous as before. Su Qiao did not have a strong family background and could not stand up anymore. So they proposed to choose two more concubines for the Crown Prince, who was already not young anymore, and marry them together.
As a result, before Su Qiao could do anything, and even before the prince could say anything, the emperor rejected his proposal in court.
Okay? Everyone knows that Su Qiao’s biggest backer is not the prince who is crazy about protecting his wife, but the emperor.
Who dares to say anything
Who dares to have any opinions
As soon as the New Year was over, Xi Hanzhou quickly asked the Imperial Observatory to pick a good day nearby and marry Su Qiao.
A total of 680 loads of dowry? This is probably the most luxurious wedding in Xilin Kingdom in the past hundred years? It is truly a ten-mile red wedding.
Actually, Su Qiao didn't want to make such a big deal, but there was no other way. The emperor attached great importance to this wedding and gave a lot of betrothal gifts. General Gu and his wife almost gave everything they had to make up for Su Qiao, plus his uncle and many aunts and uncles.
On the Su Mansion side, Prime Minister Su, who had been demoted, tried his best to stand out. In addition, the dowry left by Su Qiao's biological mother was already a lot, so it would be strange if this wedding was not luxurious.
Half a year after the wedding, Su Qiao became pregnant and the matter was still being talked about on the streets of Beijing.
The emperor, who had already given up hope, was happier than Xi Hanzhou, the father, about Su Qiao's pregnancy. He almost wanted to grant amnesty to the entire country, but was stopped by Su Qiao.
However, after Su Qiao gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, the emperor no longer listened to the advice and immediately issued a general amnesty, and the whole country celebrated.
Then, when the child was one year old, he abdicated and gave the throne to his son, and went on a trip with a few concubines who were willing to endure hardships.
Under the euphemistic name of wandering the world.
