Xuzhou was in chaos.

The emperor's decree to take the land back to the imperial court, coupled with the increase in taxes, caused the people who had never recovered to completely explode.

The governor of Xuzhou led troops to attack Jizhou, and the king of Jizhou was not easy to mess with. When war broke out between the two states, the people who suffered most were the people.

Not only do we have to experience the pain of war.

They had to endure the plundering of officers and soldiers, were left without food or water, and had to be captured to fight. The people in these two states were displaced and fled towards the capital.

On the other side, because the emperor's imperial edict was issued to Jiazhou, chaos broke out there first.

Li Xiuyuan occupied two mountains, took this opportunity to recruit people, and gathered a huge army.

On the other side, Bai Xia took the initiative and first attracted a group of villagers in Dou'er Village, then gathered surrounding villages and towns, and soon formed a force.

She had money and food, and many people came to seek refuge with her.

Behind the governor of Xuzhou was Prince Liang and his son. I originally thought it would take a long time to deal with them, but unexpectedly on the tenth day after the chaos broke out in Xuzhou, news came that Prince Liang suddenly died suddenly and his son disappeared.

The news came quickly and urgently, and the deaths of the two people intensified the unrest.

I thought the news was true, but I didn't expect that half a month later, the imperial lady in Beijing died of illness, and the emperor also received news that he was seriously ill.

News came one after another, and more and more refugees were fleeing. Bai Xia built fortifications around Douer Village to protect people from the intrusion of officers and soldiers.

The people have no way out, so they can still live a better life here. If they leave here, they may not survive for long, so they all work very hard.

All they built were houses for them to live in.

Bai Xia sells grain, but still needs money in exchange.

If they want money, they must work.

Having something to do prevents a lot of turmoil.

As soon as news came from the front that the emperor was seriously ill, he heard from the back that the governor of Xuzhou was beheaded by the king of Jizhou, and the son of the governor of Xuzhou also went with his father.

After killing the governor of Xuzhou and sending his men to recover Xuzhou, the king of Jizhou went straight to the capital with his men.

The emperor's illness became more and more serious, and half a month later, the emperor died.

The prince of Liang was born out of nowhere and took over the throne.

At this time, the King of Jizhou who was still on the road was dumbfounded, and the other rebel princes were also dumbfounded.

It's just that he is just a heir apparent. Although he is a descendant of the royal family, he has no decree from the emperor and is not known to be upright and obedient. There are many obstacles to ascending the throne of the emperor for a while.

The King of Jizhou is the only surviving prince of the late emperor. After the emperor's death, among his elder brothers and younger brothers, he is the most upright and obedient one.

Disputes arose again in the capital.

Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan each developed their own power at this time, until the war in the capital was in full swing, and the King of Jizhou and the Crown Prince of Liang were inseparable. Li Xiuyuan directly took over the entire Jiazhou, and before Jiazhou, he was the orphan of the royal family. In the name of the emperor, he proclaimed himself emperor.

Soon after, Xuzhou was merged into Jiazhou, and the power of the two states was included.

The most profitable thing about the war was that the main forces of both armies were in the capital. Jizhou and Ganzhou were soon unable to withstand Li Xiuyuan's attack and were successfully captured.

There are many famous ministers and generals under him, many of whom Bai Xia has never seen before.

Li Xiuyuan has developed so fast in the past few years that Bai Xia did not expect it at all. Until he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Bai Xia was still in a daze while sitting in the captured palace.

"Bai Xia, I'm sorry, I have worked hard on you these years."

He sat opposite her, not taller than the weak crown, but his eyes were very mature. He slowly pushed a neat letter of departure in front of her, with a look of guilt on his face.

"Although I can't give you the queenship, no one can offend you in the palace from now on. You are the only eldest princess in the Great Xia Dynasty."

He is still very young, but he already knows how to control people who threaten him.

"Brother Yuan, you have grown up."

Bai Xia sighed and glanced at the imperial army surrounding her palace. Although she had expected it, she was still a little chilled.

It's a good thing that she didn't expect his feelings. Although we are still very young physically, we are all adults on the inside.

Li Xiuyuan remained silent.His queen position cannot be given to Bai Xia. He needs to marry the daughter of the more powerful one among the former officials to stabilize the throne. However, he cannot let Bai Xia leave because the power she possesses will turn to the remnants of the rebel party. , which is also very detrimental to him.

Bai Xia was under house arrest in the palace. No one was familiar to him, and all the maids in the palace were strangers.

Yun Shu and Jin Xi were both transferred.

Yu Dahai received a reward and was regarded as a foreign minister.

Staring at the displayed mission completion progress, it has reached 99%. As long as Li Xiuyuan secures the throne, her mission can be completed successfully.

Bai Xia was not in a hurry. Ever since the year when Tiandao made her sick, she had discovered her shortcomings.

When I think about the tasks I have completed, it seems that they are not very good.

She held her chin in one hand and looked out the window, thinking tiredly.

"Go, go."

Li Xiuyuan looked at her from a distance, looked at her for a while and then left with her.

He has more important things to do.

Time seems to have sped up. Ever since Li Xiuyuan came to the throne, the days have passed very quickly.

Although she was under house arrest, Bai Xia carried the name of a eldest princess and lived in the palace. Except that she could not leave the palace, everything was fine.

Li Xiuyuan was still young and did not mention the matter of establishing a queen in the years before he ascended the throne. It was not until his 15th birthday that he came to Bai Xia's palace again.

"White Summer"

He is tall and slender, and is already a handsome young man. But because of his high position, he has an aura of calmness and authority all over his body.

"I want to get a wife"

He looked at her with complicated eyes.

In the past few years, she had lived in the palace, and the people around her changed every three months, but she never raised any objections or thought of running away.

She had long legs, delicate cheeks, and was wearing a crimson dress. She was lying lazily on the lounge chair. She didn't make any movement when she heard his words.

Not seeing the look he wanted to see on her face, Li Xiuyuan pursed his lips and left angrily.

The emperor married a wife with great fanfare.

The palace was draped in red and green, and the people in the palace were busy. The bright red sedan chair was carried into the palace from outside the palace, and circled around the palace wall before sending people into the queen's palace.

Noisy sounds came from outside, and a burst of footsteps came from far away.

"Princess"

A green figure was led in, it was Yun Shu who had grown into a child.

His brother Qishan has become Li Xiuyuan's confidant, and her status has also increased. The little girl is fair and tender. She is already very beautiful in her early ten years.

With a surprised smile on her face, she could finally see Bai Xia.

Seeing her come in, Bai Xia's eyes unconsciously fell on the progress of the task. The last 1% came to perfection when Yun Shu stepped in the door. She estimated the time, which was about the time when the emperor and the empress were married.

Is that so?

She murmured to herself that because she took the title of Li Xiuyuan's wife, even though he had divorced her long ago, a day was not over until he got married.

Now that he is married, it is time for her to retire.

Bai Xia's consciousness began to blur, and Yun Shu's screams and the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard in his ears.

Faintly, she even heard Li Xiuyuan's voice.

But her consciousness quickly fell silent, and she pulled away from this world and returned to the world that should belong to her.
