The Great Zhou Dynasty needed to continue its reign.
Without the support of the Imperial Court, Cheng'an would not even be able to enjoy life.
Seeing Cheng'an agree so readily, the weight in Fang Yuanqing and the other officials 'hearts was lifted.
If Cheng'an refused no matter what, they couldn't kill him, so they could only take forceful measures.
"Cheng'an... I." Princess Changning felt sorry for her brother. After all, she had stolen the position of Emperor.
She didn't know how to face Cheng'an.
"Prime Minister Fang is right. I'm no longer in the mood for political affairs. If I continue, I may destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's better for Imperial Sister to stabilize the country and avoid becoming a sinner." Since Cheng'an had already made his decision, he did not continue to feel conflicted.
He might as well be more free and easy so that everyone wouldn't feel sad.
"Master, why don't you stay for a few more days?" Princess Changning turned to look at the relaxed He Chuan and had a bold idea.
"We're leaving the day after tomorrow. There's something important there." He Chuan had to rush back to Xiongnu and could not stay here for too long.
Perhaps he would return to the library when he was tired one day.
There were still many unknown mysteries waiting for him to solve them.
"The Eldest Princess and His Majesty should hurry up and make preparations. The coronation ceremony will begin tomorrow morning. The Great Zhou Dynasty is already in a state of instability. It is necessary to stabilize the situation in various places." Of course, Fang Yuanqing wanted He Chuan to stay. With such an expert in the Imperial Palace, the Great Zhou Dynasty would be more stable.
However, he knew that this nine thousand years old was different from ordinary people and would not listen to anyone's advice.
Even Zhou Shimin couldn't make him stay, so their persuasion was useless.
The next step was to discuss the specific details of the Ascension Ceremony.
He Chuan didn't participate. Instead, he returned to the Library Pavilion.
There was dust everywhere. In the past, Cheng'an and Princess Changning could still think of sending people to clean this place, but after Cheng'an was captivated by Lana, no one thought of this matter.
He recalled the time when Eunuch Cui had brought him here, the scene of him talking seemed to have happened just yesterday.
And the first time he met Zhou Shimin.
Zhou Shimin led the young Changning and Cheng'an.
It was a peaceful and heartwarming scene.
He waved his sleeve lightly, and the dust disappeared in an instant. He could rest here for two nights, so he picked up a book and flipped through it.
It was a comfortable and leisurely life. It was really something that people yearned for.
After an unknown amount of time.
A familiar aura was approaching.
"Young Eunuch He." Cheng'an walked into the common library with a Go board in his hand. Seeing his carefree appearance, he had probably already thought things through.
"Your Majesty!" He Chuan replied nonchalantly.
"I'm not the Emperor anymore. Young Eunuch He, you can call me Ben Ming or King Xiaoyao." Cheng'an shook his head and arranged the chessboard. The decree had been written, and he had officially abdicated. He would wait until the morning court to announce it to the world.
"King Xiaoyao, your name is not bad. I hope you can be truly free and unfettered." He Chuan didn't know what Cheng'an was thinking.
Even if he knew, it had nothing to do with him.
After a game of chess, Cheng'an bowed respectfully. He said that after he announced his abdication the next day, he would guard Grand Tutor Liu's tomb for seven days. He would also bring the Empress Dowager to his fief and take care of his mother for the last time.
After this incident, Cheng'an had indeed grown a lot.
However, there were more than three hundred top-grade beauties with him on his way to the fief. This also showed that Cheng'an could not do without beauty.
He Chuan didn't say anything about this. Even if Cheng'an were to die in a woman's stomach, it would be his own choice.
The heavy burden of the Great Zhou Dynasty was now on the head of Changning.
...
Not long after Cheng'an left, Changning also came to the Library Pavilion alone.
"You two siblings have a telepathic connection." He Chuan joked. He was closer to this disciple.
Perhaps it was because of Changning's willingness to accompany him for so many years in the Library Pavilion.
"Master, do you think Cheng'an is willing?" Princess Changning sat in Cheng'an's seat and continued to play with He Chuan.
She didn't know her brother's true thoughts. She didn't know when it started, but there was a barrier between the twins.
They could no longer return to their childhood.
"If the Eldest Princess... Her Majesty is not clear, I am even more unclear." He Chuan made a rare joke.
He initially wanted to train Lia to be Xiongnu Tribe Queen, but who would have thought that Changning would become the Empress?
Could it be that the competition in the future was due to the birth of his two disciples?
A ridiculous feeling rose in his heart.
Wasn't that too ridiculous?
"Master, call me Changning or Ning'er from now on. I'm not used to being called Her Majesty." No one knew what Changning was thinking, but the chess piece in her hand made a clattering sound.
"You're still the same. You always make a sound when you place a piece, and there's still a knot in your heart that hasn't been untied." He Chuan simply stopped playing Go. Changning wasn't very good at chess, to begin with, and she was even less of a match for He Chuan when her mind was in a mess.
It wasn't even half of Cheng'an's power.
"Actually, I have a favor to ask of you, but I'm afraid you'll refuse." Changning seemed to have made a great decision.
All these years, although He Chuan had rejected her requests on the surface, he had still helped her in secret.
However, she wasn't confident at all.
"If even the honorable Empress of the Zhou Dynasty can't do it, I'm afraid I can't do anything either." When He Chuan saw Changning's expression, he felt that he was going to be tricked.
He didn't dare to agree to it. He wanted to hear what it was first.
"It's indeed very difficult for this disciple, but with Master's help, it's very easy. Master, I don't even know when you'll come back. Can't I just beg you once?" Changning immediately looked like she had been abandoned by He Chuan.
"Master will agree to your request." He Chuan said after some thought. He felt that Changning probably would not request for him to stay.
After being together for so many years, Changning understood his temperament.
She wouldn't put forward any conditions that would make him feel disgusted, otherwise, the Master and disciple relationship would end here.
"A gentleman never goes back on his word. Master, since you've already promised, you can't go back on your word." Seeing He Chuan had agreed, Princess Changning immediately revealed a smile of success.
He Chuan suddenly had a bad feeling. He felt that he had been tricked by the other party.
However, he couldn't go back on his word now, so he could only nod and agree.
"I want Master to leave me a baby," Changning said shyly.
Pfft.
No matter how calm He Chuan was, he still couldn't help but spit out his tea when he heard this.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem... You can't joke about this. Besides, you know I'm an incomplete man. How can I help you have children?" He was now somewhat regretful. He should have left the Imperial Palace as soon as possible.
How could there be such a thing?
"I'm a saint cultivator, how could I not know that Master has already recovered his male part? Cheng'an loiters around with the women all day without leaving any descendants. I'm afraid there's something wrong with his body, so this important task has fallen on my head." Changning looked at He Chuan's handsome face and felt a sense of anticipation.
