Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 907

But why did it happen so suddenly? Yun Shang was completely lost in thought.

"Hail Your Majesty the Emperor. Hail Your Former Majesty the Emperor..." Many of the courtiers who were kneeling had come back to their senses. They bowed in a hurry, and their voices were loud and clear, pulling Yun Shang back from her contemplation.

Xia Huanyu nodded with a smile, turned around and smiled at Empress Hua. He looked at Luo Qingyan and said softly, "Qingyan, come with me to the side hall. Shang'er, you too. The others of you can leave now." Then he turned around with Empress Hua and entered the side hall.

Yun Shang stood up and turned to look at Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan's eyes were as deep as usual. When he saw Yun Shang looking at him, he held Yun Shang's hand. The two of them followed to the side hall. They really wanted to know why all this happened.

After arriving at the side hall, Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua sat down on seats of honor. Looking at Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, who were confused, Xia Huanyu smiled and whispered, "Do you feel a little sudden?"

Luo Qingyan didn't respond while Yun Shang nodded her head. It was such a sudden that she was still at a loss.

After a moment's silence, Xia Huanyu said, "In fact, I meant to do this after Qingyan came back to the State of Xia as I wanted to look for Ling'er. I thought that since Qingyan was fine, Ling'er must be still alive. Later, Ling'er came back, but I still wanted to do this because I wanted more free time to accompany Ling'er. With so many state affairs to worry about, I can't even enjoy a meal with Ling'er. I've just waited for the right time."

"I have been on the throne for thirty years. There are not many things that can be hidden from me inside and outside the Palace. The seventh Prince..." After a moment's silence, Xia Huanyu continued, "The seventh Prince is a little sophisticated. I always know what he has done. He thought he could hide the truth from everyone, including the natural disaster thing recently, but he was wrong. I sent him out for the disaster relief on purpose for what I've just done today."

Xia Huanyu fixed his eyes on Luo Qingyan and said, "Qingyan, you will be a good emperor. I'm relieved to have you in charge of the country. However, one should be more tolerant when in a high position. The seventh Prince was born and raised in the Palace. After seeing the benefits brought by power, he began to think about something he shouldn't have. It's not that I haven't thought of handing over the throne to him, but he is not suitable for the position. Qingyan, I've given the throne to you, but I hope you can promise me to spare his life."

One should be more tolerant when in a high position. It was the second time that Luo Qingyan had heard such words. Xia Huanyu had asked Yun Shang to tell him the words not long ago...

"More tolerant?" Luo Qingyan smiled, "It seems I'm not the one who is not tolerant of others."

After a moment's silence, Xia Huanyu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and said indifferently, "I promised someone to keep the secret, so I can't tell you the reason. But today you have to promise me that you will spare the seventh prince's life.

Hearing what Xia Huanyu said, Yun Shang felt a little uncomfortable. It was obvious that Xia Houjing had tried every means to get rid of Luo Qingyan. All Luo Qingyan had done was just defense and counterattack. Xia Houjing had always tried to kill Luo Qingyan. Why did Xia Huanyu ask Luo Qingyan to spare Xia Houjing?

"If possible, I will spare him. But if one day the seventh Prince put the knife on my neck, will I still endure it?" Luo Qingyan sneered and said impatiently.

Hearing this, Xia Huanyu fell silent. After a long time, he sighed slightly and said, "Forget it. I don't want to worry about it anymore. The throne is yours now. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful these days. You have just ascended the throne, so you should be careful. I've asked someone to move the belongings of mine and Ling'er's to Taihe Palace. You c ask someone to go back to pack up and move into the Palace."

Yun Shang was surprised again. Xia Huanyu had already had his belongs move into the Taihe Palace. It seemed that he had planned it for a long time, but Yun Shang still didn't understand why everything was so sudden.

When Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua left the side hall of Taiji Palace, Yun Shang was still in a daze. After a long while, she turned to Luo Qingyan and asked, "What should we do?"

Luo Qingyan was amused by her sullen expression. Finally, a smile appeared on his cold face. "What are you worrying about?" We have planned for this position for such a long time, and now we have got it easily. Why do you seem to be unable to accept it? Huh?"

Yun Shang went to a chair and sat down. After a long silence, she looked up at Luo Qingyan and asked, "Is it true that you have become the Emperor? Come here and pinch me. I'll see if it hurts."

Seeing her like this, Luo Qingyan laughed. He walked to Yun Shang and sat down next to her. The two of them sat in the side hall for nearly an hour, lost in thought. Then Luo Qingyan said, "It won't be easy to ascend the throne. Although Xia Huanyu has already issued an imperial edict to announce his abdication, there are so many messy and tricky things left inside and outside the Palace..."
