After saying that, Emperor Yan was about to put the crown on Prince Anyang’s head.
Prince Anyang hurriedly dodged.
“Your son has no talent or virtue, and does not dare to take on such a great responsibility. Father, please retract your order!” He said.
“Father!” Before Emperor Yan could speak, he continued, “father, you will be in your prime for a thousand years. You will surely lead the Great Yan to another prosperous era!”
The ministers agreed.
However, Emperor Yan still did not take back the crown.
“If I say you can be it, then you can be it!”
“Besides, I’m not the only one who thinks so. The ancestors also thought highly of you! I will obey the orders of my ancestors!”
“Moreover, the ancestor even visited me in a dream and told me that my time is coming.”
“Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have hurriedly passed the throne to you today!” Emperor Yan followed. His voice was stern and did not allow for rejection.
“How can dream realms be counted? Father is in the prime of your life.” Prince Anyang was still refusing.
“This is my decree. If you want to disobey-” Emperor Yan suddenly said sternly.
The court instantly fell silent.
“I will now issue a decree to pass the throne to Prince Anyang and immediately succeed the throne!” Emperor Yan said again.
Then, he turned around and looked at Liu Wuji.
“The coronation ceremony will be held after my death. It will be hosted by the Imperial Advisor!”
The courtiers felt that the Emperor had gone mad.
Without any warning, he skipped the crown prince and passed the throne to Prince Anyang.
Not only that, he even said that he was going to die soon. He also asked the Imperial Advisor to arrange the coronation of the new Emperor.
To the surprise of the officials, what surprised them was yet to come.
Liu Wuji bowed to Emperor Yan.
“I will obey.”
The court was instantly in an uproar.
The Imperial Advisor, how could he…
Immediately, some officials realized that something was wrong.
The Imperial Advisor was a divine being, could it be that what the Emperor said was true?
At this moment, many people calmed down and did not dare to persuade Emperor Yan anymore.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan glanced at Liu Wuji again.
He sighed in his heart at the deep influence the Imperial Advisor had on the court.
However, when he thought of the Imperial Advisor’s devotion to the Great Yan, he put away those doubts in his heart.
Then, he put the crown on Prince Anyang’s head.
Prince Anyang finally did not refuse this time and cooperated with Emperor Yan.
After a while, Emperor Yan personally helped Prince Anyang up and brought him to the throne.
He also pushed Prince Anyang onto the dragon throne.
Then, Emperor Yan turned around and faced the ministers.
“Aren’t you going to greet the new ruler?!” He reminded.
All the officials were stunned.
However, Liu Wuji took the lead and took a step forward.
“Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to the Retired Emperor!” He cupped his hands at the father and son.
As soon as he said this, the officials all kowtowed.
“This lowly subject pays his respects to the Emperor, pays his respects to the Retired Emperor!”
At this point, Prince Anyang successfully succeeded the throne and became the new emperor of Yan Country.
Outside the Imperial Palace, in the First Prince’s residence.
Not long after Li Wan returned to the First Prince’s estate, news came from the palace.
The biggest news was naturally that Emperor Yan had abdicated and passed the throne to Prince Anyang.
The second piece of news was that before Emperor Yan abdicated, he had issued an edict to atone for his sins and redressed the grievances of the Nangong family.
When Li Xiao heard the news, he was shocked.
He quickly figured out some of the things that he didn’t know before.
And those awkward emotions were instantly washed away.
He stood up and rushed out to look for his sister.
He was wrong. He was too narrow-minded.
He thought that his sister had entered the capital because she could not bear to part with Emperor Yan.
He wanted to apologize to his sister and beg her to forgive his selfishness.
Unexpectedly, just as he ran out of the courtyard, he saw Li Wan and Lin Xiaoyue walking towards him.
The two of them chatted and laughed. They seemed to be discussing something fun.
When she saw him, she even waved at him.
Li Xiao felt a little awkward, but he felt even more guilty. He quickly walked towards the two of them.
Ever since he didn’t listen to his wife yesterday, she ignored him and spent most of her time with his sister.
Now, she was finally willing to talk to him.
From the looks of it, it was still because of his sister.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao felt even more guilty towards Li Wan.
Li Xiao quickly walked up to the two of them and bowed.
“Sister-”
Li Wan smiled as she looked at Li Xiao.
“Have you received the news?” He asked.
Li Xiao looked a little embarrassed.
“Yes.”
Li Wan’s expression relaxed.
“The situation in the palace has been decided. It’s time for me to return to Qingshi Town.”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“I’m worried about the industrial park.”
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned, and then she couldn’t help but laugh.
“With Head Fang around, there won’t be any trouble.” He said.
Li Wan shook her head.
“The project is too big. Head Fang might not be able to figure it out in a short period of time. I have to hurry back and keep an eye on him personally so that I can be at ease..”
