Jiang Baisheng was trembling in fear as he knelt on the ground and kowtowed

to Xiao Zeyu,

■’Your Majesty, please spare me. I’m not Japanese, I’m.He deceived me.”

Jiang Baisheng regretted it to death. He fell in love with Li Xiangxiang at first sight at the temple fair. When he returned, he prepared a gift and asked the matchmaker to propose marriage. However, he heard the news that Li Wei sent Li Xiangxiang to the palace.

At that time, Jiang Baisheng still had a glimmer of hope. The Emperor did not get close to women. Even if Li Xiangxiang were as beautiful as a fairy, he would not take her as a concubine. As long as she worked in the palace for three years, she could leave the palace and get married. He could wait for Li Xiangxiang for three years.

However, what he did not expect was the news that the Emperor had beaten Li

Xiangxiang to death. Jiang Baisheng cried for three days and fell ill. He hated the Emperor. When Zhang Song discovered he was dissatisfied with the Emperor, he coerced and bribed him to join his army.

imperial Physician Jiang of the Imperial Academy of Medicine was Jiang Baisheng’s father. Jiang Baisheng often asked his father about the situation in the palace. Imperial Physician Jiang told him everything without any doubt.

In addition, the guards at the armory were friends of Jiang Baisheng. Jiang Baisheng knew that he owed a lot of gambling debts outside and told Zhang

Song.

Zhang Song bribed this guard, and when he was on duty, he would steal explosives and grenades. He promised to give him an official title after he was done. That guard was also obsessed with stealing.

It could be said that Zhang Song could obtain first-hand information so smoothly with Jiang Baisheng’s help. He was even more hateful than Zhang Song, so how could Xiao Zeyu let him off?

“You eat the food of the Great Tang, but you ruin the pot of the Great Tang. It’s even more unforgivable for you to become the lackey of the Japanese.” Xiao Zeyu ordered Jiang Baisheng to be executed by a thousand cuts. The men of the Jiang family were captured and sent to Jingshi Dao. All the women were sold as enslaved people. When Imperial Physician Jiang learned about his son’s actions, he slammed his head against the ground before the ancestral tablets.

After clearing out the Japanese spies in the capital, Xiao Zeyu ordered the navy to go to sea and wipe out all the remaining Japanese. The Great Tang had entered a golden age, and the surrounding countries had taken the initiative to express their goodwill. Xiao Zeyu did not bully these small countries and opened up trade routes. Everyone had money to earn and food to eat. Who still wanted to fight?

Half a month later, He Yulin’s health improved under Su ding’s treatment.

When he appeared in front of all the officials, everyone was shocked.

“This subject thanks Your Majesty for saving my life.”

He Yulin knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes. Back then, he had listened to Zhang Song’s instigation and grudged against the Emperor and the Empress.

It was the Empress who had let bygones be bygones and saved him. Now, he had come to a realization. Zhang Jinglin’s ability was evident to all. He was indeed more suitable to be the Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor.

A year of good weather had passed. On the eve of the New Year, Su Qing personally cooked a reunion dinner. When she saw meat, she felt disgusted. Xiao Zeyu hurriedly took her pulse.

Su ding smiled as she looked at him. Seeing Xiao Zeyu’s eyes light up, she smiled. The palace was now equipped with electric lights. She was the one who pulled din Tie along to develop the windmill to generate electricity. With electricity, it was much more convenient.

No matter how many candles were lit, they could not achieve the effect of an electric lamp. The palace was as bright as day. Xiao Zeyu asked Su ding happily,

“Qing’ er, are you pregnant?”

“Yes.”

Su ding smiled and nodded. The imperial physicians in the palace would typically check the Empress and the Emperor’s pulse daily. Su ding himself was a divine physician, so they did not need to do so.

Since her period hadn’t arrived, she had taken her pulse. After confirming it was a happy pulse, she didn’t tell Xiao Zeyu, waiting to surprise him on New

Year’s Day.

“That’s great.”

Xiao Zeyu was extremely happy. The more children he had, the better.

Yang Ruxue and Yang Rubing looked at each other with their big bellies. Su ding was only four months away from the child in their belly. When the time came, his uncle, auntie, and nephew would grow up together.

It snowed on the eve of the Lunar New Year. It was rare to see snow in Beijing. The children ran out to chase the snow and play. Zhang dirui was now Ziqi’s study partner. The two little boys were not as naughty as Yun’ er.

Yun’ er was sweeping snow all over the courtyard, saying that she wanted to use the snow to build a small white house.

Su ding used gunpowder to make fireworks and firecrackers for the children to play with. Yun ‘er loved to hold the Cihua in her hand and shake it. The bright Cihua’s laughter was as pleasant as silver bells.

The two little boys lit a fire and then covered their ears to look at the sky. Xiao Chen was tired as an uncle. He had to look after Yun’ er and take care of Ziqi. At the same time, his heart ached when he saw the firecrackers. Ultimately, he forgot his identity as an uncle and set off firecrackers with Ziqi and the others.

He lit the small firecrackers, filling the ground with red flowers.

Su ding pulled Xiao Zeyu to the courtyard to accompany the children in setting off firecrackers.

Yang Ruxue and Yang Rubing stood at the entrance of the Palace of Heavenly Purity with their pregnant bellies as they watched them set off firecrackers. Beautiful fireworks blossomed in the sky, and the children jumped happily. They shouted at Su Qing in admiration,

“Mother is so awesome!”

“The Empress’ Aunt is so awesome!”

“Sis, you’re amazing.”

Xiao di and Little Lingling were dancing in the air with their red capes draped over their shoulders, having a great time!

This New Year was too lively, din Feng happily looked at his great-grandson and great-granddaughter. Unfortunately, his daughter and son-in-law didn’t see this warm scene.

Su Hanxuan and Luan dingshan held their breaths as they watched the children playing in the courtyard. Su Hanxuan smiled and said to Luan Qingshan,

“If only Zhou Bo were here. He would like to drink Qing’er’s new wine.”

-Yeah, he’s been gone for a few months. I’m still waiting for him to name my child!”

Luan dingshan nodded in agreement. He waited for Zhou Bo to name the child in Rubing’s stomach. Now, he knew that the Taoist priest’s power was boundless. With his blessing, the child would grow up healthily.

She still hoped that the child in Rubing’s stomach was a son. Although she said a daughter was just as good, it would be even better if it were a son.

“Haha, why don’t we flip through the classics and choose a few names first? It’s more reliable than waiting for him.

“Haha!” Su Hanxuan laughed loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Bo’s voice.

“How can I not be drinking?”

“Priest Zhou.”

Su Hanxuan and Luan dingshan looked at Zhou Bo in surprise. Why was he so elusive? He could come and go freely in the palace.

“Martial Uncle.”

Xiao Zeyu saw Zhou Bo and stopped setting off firecrackers. He walked over and bowed to him.

“Uncle, Happy New Year.”

“Okay, okay. Here’s a red packet for you.”

Zhou Bo grinned as he took out an Evil Repelling Talisman and gave it to Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Uncle’s Master had just sent him away.

“Uncle’s Master, Happy New Year.”

Su ding walked over and called out to Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo looked at her and smiled.

“ding girl, you built an orphanage, a home for the elderly, a home for the disabled, and even a hospital for the poor. You gave free seeds to the poor and taught them to farm, raise silkworms, and weave cloth. You’ve done a lot of good things!”

“Didn’t you say that I should do more good deeds?”

Su ding smiled. In the past, she didn’t care about life and death. She didn’t have anything to worry about. Now, she had parents, children, and a husband. She couldn’t give up any of them. After killing so many people, it was time to do something good to make up for it..
