Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 885

Chapter 885: Revised: Chapter 882: Bear in Mind

The Emperor is the origin of a nation’s ethos. Just like when the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty practiced alchemy, the noble families followed suit. For a time, inviting Taoists to practice alchemy and taking elixirs became symbols of prestige in Dadu City, making Taoist alchemists highly sought after.

Many noble families imitated the Emperor, buying young children from traffickers for the purpose of making elixirs to prolong their own lives. Countless children died in the process.

Such an Imperial Court, even if my cousin didn’t overthrow it, would inevitably lead to greater chaos in the future.

By the third evening, the piled-up memorials in the palace were dealt with, and the officials, dragging their weary bodies, were escorted back to their residences by soldiers. As they stepped out of the main hall, they felt like they had just completed the few days of youth exams, as if they’d been skinned.

The news that Bai Qingyan dispatched soldiers to escort officials back to their residences reached various mansions. The mistresses and family members stood at the doors to welcome their husbands or sons.

The Prime Minister Lu’s descendants are numerous, and the entrance of the Lu Mansion was crowded with Lu family members. Lu Yuanqing rode a horse to the palace gate to wait for his grandfather and uncle.

As soon as he saw his grandfather’s carriage coming out, Lu Yuanqing immediately spurred his horse forward. "Grandfather, Uncle..."

Prime Minister Lu heard him, lifted the carriage curtain, and glanced at his grandson. "Speak after we return to the mansion," he said.

"Yes!" Lu Yuanqing rode ahead to lead the way.

On the way back to the Prime Minister Lu Mansion, Lu Yuanqing saw many officials being helped into their mansions by their crying family members and offspring. He couldn’t help but worry, guessing that these officials had likely undergone severe punishment in the palace and had agreed to Bai Qingyan ascending to become Empress before being released.

When Prime Minister Lu arrived at the mansion’s entrance, all his children, grandchildren, granddaughters, and daughters-in-law gathered around him. Lu Yuanqing assisted Prime Minister Lu down from the carriage, and his third daughter-in-law tearfully said, "Father has suffered!"

Prime Minister Lu frowned, "What nonsense! We were handling the backlog of state affairs, and even His Majesty worked with us in the main hall for three days and nights without complaining. How dare we complain!"

Lu Yuanqing knew his grandfather feared his mother might say something disrespectful towards Bai Qingyan, which would be detrimental to the Lu family.

Lu Yuanbao hurried forward to support his father and said to Prime Minister Lu, "Grandfather, Father, let’s discuss this at home."

"If you don’t support her, who else do you have in mind?" Prime Minister Lu drank a sip of hot tea. "Although she is a woman, over the past three days... you’ve seen for yourself her vision and broad outlook. She deeply understands the governance methods of Yan and Xiliang, even extracting their essence to compensate for the deficiencies in our nation’s policies. She respects and listens to the opinions of others. Most importantly, she possesses a vigorous ambition to unify the world." freewēbnoveℓ.com
