Stranger and Chen in the Palace

Seeing that Huang Zaizhong was still shocked, Ling Yichen stared at him: "I asked you, but you haven't answered yet."

Huang Zaizhong came back to his senses, knelt down again, and solemnly said: "This minister will definitely swear to protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Not to mention Xue Zimo's endeavour, Ling Yichen's trust in his promotion over the years alone made him grateful!

Xiao Ye also knelt down and swore: "I also swear to assist His Highness the Crown Prince to the death!"

Ling Yichen looked at the two of them in relief, and helped them up: "I sure did not believe you wrong!"

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly..." Xiao Ye couldn't help but ask.

Ling Yichen's behavior today always made him feel uneasy. Why did he suddenly mention Ling Luoying's life experience and ask Huang Zaizhong to promise to protect His Highness the Crown Prince?

Based on his understanding of His Majesty, everything Ling Yichen did would never be meaningless!

Sure enough, he heard Ling Yichen say: "I will tell Yu Luoer tomorrow morning, and then I will leave the palace, and I will hand him over to you in the future."

"What, Your Majesty, are you leaving?" Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong were both taken aback.

Ling Yichen looked at Xiao Ye, and asked softly, "I should have left a long time ago, shouldn't I?"

Xiao Ye lowered his eyes. When Xue Zimo left and there was no news, His Majesty loved him deeply. Whether it was before or after, he could see clearly and clearly.

Huang Zaizhong wanted to persuade Ling Yichen, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard Ling Yichen say: "I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me! The only thing I'm worried about right now is Luo'er, so you have to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you must protect him." Luo'er. You must strictly guard his background, even Luo'er can't tell!"

Luo'er has a special identity. If his background is exposed, he may cause huge troubles.Although Feng Yuan has a straight temper, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be instigated by others, so he told Huang Zaizhong about Luo'er's life experience, just in case.

Seeing that His Majesty had made up his mind, the two of them couldn't help sighing secretly. They had been with Ling Yichen for many years and knew his temperament well. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

All they can do is to complete the tasks Ling Yichen entrusted to them...

The two knelt down to Ling Yichen for the third time, and swore: "This minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"

At this moment, they were very sad in their hearts. Ling Yichen had treated them really well all these years.Knowing them, trusting them, being both a monarch and a friend, this kind of friendship between monarchs and ministers cannot be given up just by giving up.

Ling Yichen nodded and looked at them for a while, feeling a little sad: "Go back!"

The two stood up and retreated. Xiao Ye walked to the door, hesitated for a while, then turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to find him?"

Ling Yichen smiled slowly and nodded.

Xiao Ye didn't know how he felt for a while, as a subject, he couldn't bear to part with Ling Yichen, an outstanding king who had shown him the kindness of understanding; but as a friend, he sincerely hoped that Ling Yichen would be happy.

During the nine years that Xue Zimo had been away, he had personally seen how Ling Yichen survived. If it wasn't for the support of his belief in looking for Xue Zimo, he would have fallen down long ago.

For nine years, until tonight, I saw Ling Yichen's smile again. He smiled so innocently, just like a child!

Xiao Ye hurriedly turned around, Ling Yichen's smile actually made his nose a little sour...

After the two left, Shunde entered the hall, looking at Ling Yichen, his eyes were already filled with tears.

Ling Yichen walked towards him slowly, and sighed, "Did you hear that?"

Let Shunde guard the door, he didn't intend to hide it from him.

"Your Majesty..." Shunde's voice became choked up.

He has known Ling Yichen since he was 12 years old.I still remember that his first errand in the palace was to deliver meals to Ling Yichen and Concubine Yun who were still the third prince.

, he has been by his side for 17 years now.Ling Yichen was his first and only master.

Over the years, he has gotten used to having him in his life, used to revolve around him, and used to take his emotions as his own.

But now, he is leaving...

Seeing Shunde weeping sadly made Ling Yichen feel bad too.

"Shunde, there is always a banquet in the world. I once met an old man who told me that the fate between people is very strange. I don't know when it will start, and I don't know when it will end." Ling Yichen sighed He took a deep breath, "I think, our fate may be over now. You have always taken care of me very carefully. I still remember that when I was young, only you were willing to help me. In fact, you are only five years older than me. Now Thinking about it, he is just a child, but he is like a dutiful elder brother taking care of his younger brother. Therefore, in my heart, we are both monarchs and ministers, and brothers."

This was the first time Ling Yichen spoke his mind to him, and Shunde knew that this would also be the last time.

The man cried until he could not make a sound: "Your Majesty, slave... slave, I miss you..."

Ling Yichen was also sad in his heart, and said in silence for a while: "Shunde, take care of Luo'er for me, just like you take care of me, okay? If it's someone else, I don't feel relieved."

Shunde choked with sobs and nodded vigorously, tears could not be stopped no matter what.

Ling Yichen let out a long sigh.

In the early morning of the next day, one hour earlier, Ling Yichen went to the imperial mausoleum alone.

After bidding farewell to his father, Ling Yichen came to Ling Yize's tomb and cremated the painting and mask he had left behind. The piece of star jade was also buried in front of the tomb.

Ling Yichen caressed the tombstone lightly, feeling very sad: "Yize, I'm sorry to be the emperor in this life. The emperor is leaving, and I can't see you again in the future. Will you forgive the emperor?"

In the past 12 years, as long as he thinks of this younger brother, he still can't stop his heartache. He owes him too much...

Come early.

This was the last morning court in Ling Yichen's career.

Ling Luoying waved to His Highness Jinluan, Ling Yichen smiled and said, "Luo'er, come up."

Ling Luoying suspiciously walked towards his father, towards the supreme throne!

All the officials were a little surprised and didn't understand what His Majesty wanted to do. Only Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong felt sad when they saw this scene.

Since then, the king has changed!

From then on, the era of Ling Yichen's rule came to an end!

Ling Yichen took Ling Luoying's hand, stood up slowly, and solemnly announced to all the officials: "I am determined to pass on the crown prince Ling Luoying, and from today on, he will be your king!"

Except for Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong, the other officials were all shocked, and the hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

There has never been any emperor who was still alive and abdicated!

"Father—" Ling Luoying was the first to recover from the shock, and shouted in disbelief.

Ling Yichen smiled: "Luo'er, kneel down."

Ling Luoying looked at his father, then at the officials below who were looking at them in astonishment, and had no choice but to kneel down.

Full of unease, what happened to the father, why did he suddenly pass the throne?

Ling Yichen solemnly handed him the jade seal representing the supreme imperial power.

Looking at the emerald green jade seal, Ling Luoying was stunned. He raised his head to look at his father, and saw his firm eyes. He couldn't help but slowly raised his hands and took the jade seal...

The officials below finally came to their senses.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already taken over the jade seal, that is to say, he will be their king in the future? !

Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong knelt down first, and shouted: "My minister bows to His Majesty the new emperor, long live my emperor!"

All the officials also quickly knelt down and shouted in unison: "My minister kowtows to His Majesty the new emperor, long live my emperor!"

The eunuchs, maids, and guards outside the palace knelt down and shouted long live!

Ling Luoying was completely stunned, Ling Yichen helped him up: "Luo'er, promise father to be a good emperor, okay?"

Ling Luoying looked up at him and nodded blankly.

Ling Yichen smiled, patted him on the back affectionately, walked down the jade steps slowly, and walked out of the Golden Luan Hall...

Ling Luoying suddenly came back to her senses: "Father——"
