Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 454: The White Emperor Passes Away

In the past few years, several neighboring countries have all been obedient and have paid tribute to Daning Kingdom with many rare treasures every year.

Now the treasury of Daning State is full, and the money allocated by the Queen is not worth mentioning at all to the treasury.

But this money is enough to help the people of Jiangcheng survive the drought and build water conservancy projects.

Another period of time passed.

Sanctuary Kingdom.

Bai Huang summoned Lu Rui over late at night.

Lu Rui was originally staying in his own Prince's Palace. When he heard that the White Emperor summoned him, he stood up and went over without any hesitation.

During this period, Bai Huang's body was already at the end of its strength, and it seemed as if he could give up at any time.

When Bai Huang saw Lu Rui coming to his side, some color appeared in his turbid eyes.

"Rui'er, cough cough..."

Bai Huang lying on the bed looked much thinner than before, and his hair was completely white.

"Father, my son and minister are here."

Bai Huang used all his strength to grab Lu Ruiyuan's hand and said, "Father... Father knew he might not make it, so he asked you to come here..."

The White Emperor looked as if he was making arrangements for his final arrangements.

Lu Rui was shocked and hurried to call a doctor for him.

But Bai Huang knew what he was going to do and stopped him immediately.

"stop."

Lu Rui stopped and looked at the person lying on the bed with concern.

He walked over again, and the White Emperor said, "I want you to promise me that you will govern this Holy Land well."

Lu Rui's voice choked with emotion. He followed the White Emperor's request, saying solemnly, "I will govern the Holy Land well and will never disappoint my father."

Bai Huang on the bed smiled with satisfaction.

"Alright, I know you've always had that woman surnamed Gu in your heart, so you haven't listened to me and your mother's talk about marrying a Crown Princess."

Lu Rui didn't understand what his father meant.

Before, his father and mother had always asked him to get married, but he refused and it has been delayed until now.

Could it be that my father forced me to marry another woman before he died?

Bai Huang knew his son very well. When he saw Lu Rui's expression, he knew that he probably thought that he wanted to force him before he died.

He took out the imperial edict he had prepared long ago from under his pillow and said to Lu Rui, "Crown Prince, please accept the edict."

Lu Rui knelt in front of Bai Huang's bed.

However, when the White Emperor finished reading the contents of the edict, he looked up in disbelief.

Because the edict said that after his death, he would immediately succeed to the throne as emperor, and would not interfere with who he married.

Bai Huang's face suddenly turned red, and he asked Lu Rui to pour him a glass of water.

Lu Rui didn't dare to delay, and after pouring the water, he fed it to him personally.

The father and son sat in front of the bed and chatted calmly for a while.

But then, Bai Huang's hand drooped.

Lu Rui didn't hear Bai Huang's voice, so he called him a few more times tentatively.

But this time, Bai Huang did not respond to him.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly to feel Bai Huang's breath, but suddenly stood up.

The edict left by the White Emperor was still beside his pillow, and the White Emperor had only drunk half of the water he had just poured for him.

Lu Rui's mind went blank. When he came to his senses, he suddenly shouted to the outside world, "Father has passed away!"

Originally, Bai Huang had been in poor health recently, and Lu Rui had been handling the memorials.

Lu Rui never expected that this would be the last time he saw Bai Huang.

Hearing Lu Rui's voice, the palace servants rushed in in panic.

When Bai Huang passed away, his face was peaceful, and Lu Rui would cry uncontrollably beside his bed.

Afterwards, other court officials and concubines also rushed to the White Emperor's bedroom, and the cries spread throughout the Holy Domain Palace.

Lu Rui ascended the throne three days later.

He held the White Emperor's will in his hand, his expression grim.

Bai Xuan and several other princesses knelt in front of Emperor Bai's tomb, and Queen Li even fainted from crying.

By the time everything was done, two months had passed.

The news of the White Emperor's death and the new emperor's ascension to the throne reached Daning State.

General Gu was sitting in the general's mansion playing chess with someone when he suddenly received this news.

She paused holding the chess piece.

"It's so fast. It's unbelievable."

It wasn't long since Lu Rui left Daning Kingdom and returned to the Holy Land.

The slave who was bought back without even being able to lift his head and had a broken leg has now become the emperor of a country.

Lin Weiwei sat across from her and said, "What's so unbelievable about this? Besides, isn't this a good thing?"

After Lu Rui ascends the throne, he might come back to Daning Kingdom just for Gu Qingyuan.

By then, the Daning Kingdom and the Holy Land will join forces and become even more powerful.

Similarly, when the empress in the palace received this news, she was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Time flies!"

When she was young, she had dealt with the White Emperor several times and knew that the White Emperor was actually a person who had no interest in war, so he had been guarding the Holy Land for so many years and had not communicated with other countries.

However, despite this, the strength of the Holy Land Kingdom should not be underestimated.

After ascending the throne, Lu Rui was extremely busy every day.

In addition to dealing with those official duties, there were always court officials who sent their daughters to the palace, eyeing the position of queen.

Queen Li successfully became the queen mother, and the other concubines were sent out of the palace.

In order to avoid the appearance of strange women in his palace again, Lu Rui specifically ordered that no women were allowed to enter.

Bai Xuan was stopped outside the door and angrily said, "Are you going to stop me too, brother?"

She just wanted to meet the Snow Wolf, but she wasn't even allowed in!

Lu Rui saw Bai Xuan who was blocked at the door and said, "Let her in."

Only then was Bai Xuan released.

After she came in, she looked around and asked, "Royal brother, Royal brother, where is Snow Wolf?"

Lu Rui said helplessly: "The Snow Wolf is out."

"Oh."

Bai Xuan turned around and went out.

Since Snow Wolf is not here, there is no point for her to come here.

Just when she was about to go out, Xuelang came back from outside. Bai Xuan's eyes immediately lit up and she followed Xuelang in.

The snow wolf discovered that she was following him and had no time to hide.

Why does the Eighth Princess have to pester me?

When Lu Rui saw the two people, he smiled, shook his head, and walked back into the house, leaving the space for them.

He could see that Xuelang actually cared about Xiaoxuan, so he might as well give Xuelang some strong information so that he could see his true feelings.

......

"My benefactor hasn't come for a long time."

Lingyu held the child and looked at the door eagerly.

Ever since his benefactor went to Jiangcheng, he has been waiting for her to come back.

But three months have passed, and after the summer, the weather has gradually become hotter.

The ling fish wanted to jump into the water and take a good bath.

He looked at his child and poked his fishtail.

"What do you think about us practicing swimming some more?"
