Chapter 406: Grand Finale

The Crown Prince revealed a gloomy look, stubborn as a dead duck.

"No, this son never thought about dealing with Mother-in-law."

Qiao Mai flashed to his front, pinched his neck, poured the whole bottle of medicine into his mouth, and then used a cup of tea to wash it all down.

The Emperor felt distressed, but he knew that the more he stopped it, the worse things would get. It seemed this medicine wasn't life-threatening, so let the son eat it if he ate it.

After eating it, the person will be honest, and there won't be any more thoughts in the future.

Sure enough, after the Crown Prince ate it, he looked terrified. He originally wanted to use his inner strength to break through the acupoints, but after eating that bottle of medicine, all his inner strength was gone.

His body felt like it had collapsed, extremely weak, without needing Qiao Mai to unseal his acupoints, he collapsed to the ground.

The Empress wanted to go up and support him, but was scared by Qiao Mai's look and didn't dare to move a bit.

The Emperor's eyes were red with distress, but who told his son to be unpromising, actually wanting to deal with the in-laws.

This is truly unbearable for an uncle, and even more so for an aunt. That the in-laws didn't kill him is already out of respect for his face.

Now in the Weicheng territory, you can't even find a shadow of wasteland.

"Then, then what about the Crown Prince position?"

"Thank you, in-laws, for showing mercy."

Just at this time, the space shook, and Yuan Jiaqi was kicked out of the space. Qiao Mai was also kicked out at the same time.

"No, Mother, daughter will not marry, just guard Tianyi."

"Emperor, please give orders." Several men covered in golden veils flashed out.

"Want, I want to be a good Crown Prince, contributing to the people and the country."

Ten days later, Qiao Mai left the capital with her husband.

The old Emperor also tried his best to teach Tianyi, making him a qualified and good monarch.

In every place, she would take him flying, letting her husband live like an immortal.

"What? How can he be so stupid?"

Transporting the vegetables and grain planted by the commoners to all parts of the country for sale, so that the commoners no longer have to worry about the problem of not being able to sell what they grow.

Qiao Mai touched her nose. "Haha, the space upgraded, we were kicked out."

To thank Yuan Jiaqi for waiting for her for ten years, she spent three years accompanying him to travel around various countries, seeing the humanities and scenery of various places.

"Inner demon, a type of paranoid symptom."

"Yes, Grandmother!"

To encourage the commoners, he also united all the escort bureaus, specifically providing convenient services for the commoners.

"This isn't an accident, rest assured. There is no one in this world who can deal with Mother. You are still young, do you want to guard Tianyi like this, or go to another household?"

Tianyi wiped his tears lightly. "Grandmother, I knew Father was like this when I was very young."

In short, he tried every possible way to make the commoners live a good life.

"Heavens, he actually promised others to marry only one wife, one woman, and actually secretly took a woman, not to mention that the woman was a spy from elsewhere, she deserved to die in the first place. He did the wrong thing himself, yet blamed the Fu Princess Consort. If it weren't for the Princess Consort, our Great Ming Dynasty would be in danger."

Qiao Mai and her husband stayed with the children in the capital for a few days. The Emperor was afraid that the in-laws would be angry, so he directly raised their royal rank. Yuan Jiaqi became the Fu Prince Consort, and Qiao Mai became the Fu Princess Consort, with the title inherited for generations.

"Grandmother, what is possession?"

Waiting every day for Qiao Mai to come out early, time is like a torch; once it burns, it passes very quickly.

Yuan Jiaqi took her hand, and the two returned to the bedroom.

"Sigh, Grandmother also wants the best of both worlds, but your Crown Prince father went into a dead end, not only breaking his promise but also wanting to harm me. Doing this is not only for myself, but also for you all. He has already been possessed."

"Wife, twenty years, your legs must be stiff, still not coming out of seclusion? This husband really misses you."

The Crown Prince lost his martial arts and was only left to be slaughtered. He glared at Qiao Mai. "I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"

"He actually wanted to deal with the Fu Princess Consort, wanting to use a medicine to make the Princess Consort lose her martial arts, but didn't expect to be discovered before he could even use it, and was caught on the spot."

"Wife, how did we come out?"

"Directly announce his crimes to the public."

Yuan Jiaqi said it like this: "Wasteland cannot be left idle. Even if you don't plant grain, planting trees has its uses. At the very least, trees can prevent sandstorms and fix mud and sand. When winter comes, you can also cut branches for firewood, utilize the stalks, plant in sheds, and weave things, all of which are possible."

The three of them often went to the orchard and vegetable fields in the back. They all liked this seemingly calm but extraordinary life.

The person was taken away, and Ling'er recovered from the shock. "He, how could he treat my mother like this? He is truly an ungrateful wretch."

This time he clearly stated that he would assist the Crown Prince in governing, and abdicate in five years.

Qiao Mai took her hand and comforted her. "You are living as a widow anyway. Instead of putting a bomb by your side, it's better to solve it early. It's quite good for you and the children."

The Emperor sighed and shouted at the air.

"Grandmother has won this opportunity for you, grasp it well."

Just as people were running around discussing this matter, the Imperial Palace issued an edict to the world, and the Emperor established the Imperial Grandson Li Tianyi as the Crown Prince.

"Mother, it is Ling'er who is sorry for you, letting you be in danger."

He tried his best to use what he learned from Qiao Mai to help the commoners, supporting them in reclaiming wasteland, and also took out a portion of the family's income to subsidize them.

The old Emperor hurriedly waved his hand. "Take him away quickly."

"Give it to Tianyi. He is already ten years old, and in a few years he can take over your position. My grandson, in the future, can only be the Emperor, no one else can think about it."

Afraid that if it were a moment later, the Crown Prince would be beheaded by Qiao Mai.

"Yes, it's just that my cultivation obtained its meaning, and it grew a bit larger."

"So that's how it is. Then what is Wife's cultivation now?"

Two years later, the Emperor really abdicated to Tianyi. He took the Empress back and forth, sometimes living in the capital, sometimes going to Tianshui Town.

The two rolled onto the ground and then looked at each other.

"Confine him to the Clan Residence, never allowed to come out for a lifetime."

Qiao Mai looked at Tianyi, who was hiding on the side with red eyes. She waved at him, and Tianyi walked over obediently.

"Heard it? The Crown Prince was deposed?"

Another ten years passed. Yuan Jiaqi didn't feel anything, because he could often go to the space to see his wife.

The most fortunate thing is that although their bodies seemed to have aged, their spirits were especially good, especially when they reached the garden in the back, even breathing felt fresh.

"Emperor, how to tell the court officials?"

"Where are the Golden Dragon Guards?"

Afterwards, she took him back to Tianshui Town and went into seclusion again.

"Exactly, exactly."

"Yes, Emperor."

"Upgrade?"

The next day, the sensational news of the candle flower explosion spread throughout the capital.

Qiao Mai stood up. "You all go back. I think everyone's mood is not very good today, so let's all calm down."

"I heard it was like this, like this, like this."

Gradually, the old Emperor and his wife didn't return to the capital and lived there permanently.

Tianyi shook his head. "No, this matter is not Grandmother's fault. It is Father who did the wrong thing first. He wanted to harm you, and you sparing his life is already very merciful."

This seclusion lasted for a long time. Anyway, neither of the couple was idle. Although Yuan Jiaqi withdrew from the court, he was very concerned about the lives of the commoners.

"Ah, what happened?"

Every time he went, he saw his wife sitting cross-legged, motionless.

In a flash, another ten years passed. The old Emperor had a full head of gray hair, the Empress had frost on her temples, and Yuan Jiaqi was no exception.

"Take him away, confine him to the Clan Residence, never to come out for eternity."

"Child, do you want to be the Crown Prince?"

"Do you resent Grandmother?"

"Hehe, if it were in the Cultivation Realm, stomping a foot would make their little hearts tremble."

"Haha, awesome!"

"A must, but it's a pity I can't go. My cultivation, even if it reaches the top, I will never go into seclusion again, just accompany you to finish this life plainly."

Yuan Jiaqi's eyes were red. He knew his wife was comforting him, but he was satisfied.
