Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 215 Awakening
When the imperial edict was delivered to Zhongzhou at full speed, the war situation there was already on the verge of breaking out.

At the critical moment, fortunately, Anping Bo was accompanied by a herald, who rushed into the battle with the emperor's edict held high. When everyone saw the edict, they dismounted and knelt on the ground, and a war was narrowly avoided. If there had not been this edict, the land of Zhongzhou would have been plunged into a bloody storm, with countless lives lost.

The King of Southwest and the Emperor had already reached a tacit understanding. Now that they had set up this big chess game that affected the world situation, they had to carry it out to the end with unwavering determination.

They were far away in Zhongzhou, and could not do anything about what happened in the capital. They could only leave it to fate. Fortunately, the situation in the capital stabilized in the end, which was a blessing in disguise.

At this time, the emperor's body was like a shaky fallen leaf in autumn, dilapidated, and the feeling of running out of energy became more and more obvious. The end was not far away. These days, he left all his time to Yan'er and the eldest princess. These two people were undoubtedly the people he was most worried about in this world.

Concubine Lu participated in the Lu family's rebellion, which was an unforgivable crime. The emperor immediately stripped her of her title and gave her a cup of poisoned wine. The entire Lu family was slaughtered. In the emperor's view, since Yan'er was about to ascend the throne, Concubine Lu must not be kept. Even if she had never poisoned him, for the sake of the stability of the imperial power, such a hidden danger must not be left, not to mention that she had really poisoned him.

Lu Jing was busy dealing with complicated government affairs during the day and gathering power in an orderly manner.

As the clans fell one after another, the power of the poor rose rapidly and became a new force that could not be underestimated. Lu Jing knew that he had to hold on to the power in his hands so that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he could cleverly balance the contradiction between the royal family and the military power, and at the same time check and balance the eldest princess and this emerging power of the poor.

In recent days, the clan was executed, and almost every time Lu Jing was ordered to capture, detain, and supervise the execution. He completely offended the clan and made the poor family fearful. Unknowingly, he became a lone minister in the court. And all of this was actually facilitated by the emperor. The emperor appointed Lu Jing as the regent, making him powerful and a lone minister who was only loyal to himself, so that he and the eldest princess would check and balance each other to ensure a smooth transition of imperial power.

Su Qingwan spent five long days in a coma. During this period, her face gradually regained some color and her consciousness began to slowly recover.

Lu Jing would stay by her bed every night, never leaving. Qingyun was filled with worry, fearing that Lu Jing would see through Su Qingwan's true face, so she was almost always on guard, not daring to leave.

Fortunately, Lu Jing acted with moderation and did not expel Qingyun. Even so, Qingyun was still anxious like an ant on a hot pot, running around in circles. Now Lu Jing has become the regent, second only to the emperor, and has enormous power. If the girl wants to escape, what should she do? Go back to the southwest?

Judging from Lu Jing’s attitude, I’m afraid he won’t give up even if he chases her to the ends of the earth.

Su Qingwan's awakening was very sudden, and Lu Jing and Qingyun were caught off guard.

That night was particularly quiet. Lu Jing sat by the bed, holding a book of miscellaneous notes in his hand, and read softly. He knew that Su Qingwan loved to read some idle books besides checking accounts, so he specially chose the miscellaneous notes that Su Qingwan had read before to read, as if he could keep her by his side with his voice and gently tell her that there are still people in this world who love her.

Especially when Imperial Physician Fang asserted that Su Qingwan might never wake up and that preparations for her funeral were needed, Lu Jing stayed awake all night, staying by her bed and reciting to her constantly.

Qingyun was so sleepy that he couldn't help but take a nap.

In a daze, she heard Lu Jing whisper: "Xiao Wu, Liu Jiang is dead, and all your enemies have been killed. If you want to kill anyone else, just tell me when you wake up, and I will help you kill them!"

Qingyun felt a chill in her heart after hearing this, and felt that Lu Jing's words were too extreme. But thinking about it carefully, Lu Jing really did what he said. He said he would help the girl to avenge her, and he really eliminated those enemies one by one; he said he would kill Liu Jiang, and he took Liu Jiang's life without hesitation. Qingyun thought to herself that if the girl wanted the stars and the moon in the sky, Lord Lu might really try his best to pick them. In this way, she became more and more worried that the girl would have difficulty getting away in the future.

That night, Su Qingwan's fingers moved slightly. Lu Jing and Qingyun were exhausted these days. Lu Jing had to handle government affairs during the day, arrest and execute clan members everywhere, and accompany the emperor. He was exhausted and could only take a nap occasionally when reading miscellaneous notes at night; Qingyun had to focus on Lu Jing and did not dare to relax at all, so he was not much better.

Su Qingwan slowly opened her eyes, and heard the cold wind whistling outside the window. She felt her hand being tightly wrapped in someone's palm, warm, and a slight pain came from the wound. All this made her feel as if she was in another world.

She thought she was going to die, and even before she died, she seemed to see her father, mother, brothers and sisters, who called her name tenderly, as if they wanted to take her with them. Now that she woke up, she felt a little lost, because it turned out that they were not able to reunite in another world.

This feeling of loss was bitter and painful, and gradually, grievances also surged into her heart. She looked up and saw Qingyun resting his chin on his hand, dozing off not far away, while Lu Jing was holding her hand and sleeping soundly beside him.

She knew in her heart that the emperor had won! If the emperor lost, they would all meet on the road to the underworld. It was because the emperor won that Lu Jing stayed by her side and Qingyun could take a nap so relaxedly.

Su Qingwan smelled the faint aroma of Chinese medicine in the air, and the huge stone that had been weighing on her heart for many years finally fell to the ground. She knew that since the emperor had made a deal with her, and the Southwest clan had even gambled their future for this bet, the emperor would definitely keep his promise, and the injustice in Huainan would eventually be vindicated, and her family would be able to rest in peace. Thinking of this, she slowly fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, it was already noon. Qingyun was helping her wipe her hands, and suddenly realized that she was conscious, and shouted in disbelief: "Girl..."

Su Qingwan slowly opened her eyes, and Qingyun burst into tears of joy. Su Qingwan wanted to reach out and wipe away her tears, but her arms felt heavy and she couldn't lift them up; she wanted to comfort her, but her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Qingyun hurried to ask for Doctor Fang. In fact, if Su Qingwan could wake up, it meant that her injuries had improved and she would recover as long as she took care of herself. For a serious injury like hers that penetrated her lungs, the most dangerous thing was that she would not be able to recover in a short time and die. Once she woke up, it meant that there was hope for life.

Li An had been guarding in the palace, and when he learned that Su Qingwan had woken up, he immediately ran to tell Lu Jing. Qingyun took the opportunity to tell Su Qingwan everything that had happened in the past few days, and she cleverly hid the thrilling plots.

Finally, she told Su Qingwan that Lu Jing had become the regent, another prince of the opposite sex after the King of Huainan, and he also served as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Now all the Embroidered Uniform Guards were under his control, supervising all officials and wielding enormous power.

After hearing this, Su Qingwan was stunned.

Lu Jing was crowned king? What about the emperor? She was shocked and grabbed Qingyun's sleeve tightly, and asked anxiously, "Is the emperor dead?"

She was obsessed with Huainan's redress, but the emperor had not yet fulfilled his promise.

"Not yet!" Qingyun understood what Su Qingwan was worried about, and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. The emperor is still alive. Recently, he and the princess are discussing issuing a self-criticism edict. The court officials know that the emperor is almost dead, so they don't recommend him to issue a self-criticism edict before his death. Even Ningyuan Hou and General Chen think that it would be better to leave the matter of rehabilitating Huainan to the new emperor."

After this turmoil, the Ningyuan Marquis and General Chen and other military generals had fewer complaints against the emperor. In their view, it was not wrong for the new emperor to redress the injustice in Huainan after he ascended the throne. Most importantly, the emperor was dying, and they did not have the heart to force him any further.

After hearing this, Su Qingwan shook her head firmly and said, "No! He must redeem himself for the mistakes he made!"
