Chapter 1618 - 1610: Politely Refused
Chapter 1618: Chapter 1610: Politely Refused
It took two or three days for Wangjing City to return to normal order.
The Fuzhou Emperor passed away, and Noble Princess Consort Zhu along with the Fourth Prince and other members of the imperial family also met their demise. Most of their allies perished within the Haotian Platform as well.
As for Hua Yaorao, she was devoured by Gui Hu; her subordinates either fled or were executed.
However, there was one thing that made Prince Yuan a little worried.
"Zhu Qianjun and his son managed to flee. I’ve already issued a wanted order, but there’s been no trace of them. I suspect they escaped to Shengri under the protection of Poison Venerable."
In the Imperial Study Room, Prince Yuan, Xin Lin, and Tu Suxuan were discussing matters concerning Wangjing.
"The second... oh, I almost forgot, it should now be called the Emperor."
Tu Suxuan scratched his head, looking quite uneasy.
The Fuzhou Emperor’s sudden passing led to Prince Yuan ascending the throne and proclaiming himself Emperor after the Hao Tian Festival.
He is now the new Fuzhou Emperor.
The Fuzhou Emperor smiled bitterly.
"You should stop teasing me. Right now, the entire court is being extremely respectful, yet no one asked me if I wanted to be the Fuzhou Emperor. You two must stop addressing me as the Emperor, so I can at least enjoy some peace and quiet in front of you."
The words of the Fuzhou Emperor held a hint of bitterness.
If possible, he truly didn’t want to stay in Fuzhou.
He also wished to learn from Xin Lin, reveling in the freedom of the world, being a mercenary.
"Second brother, at least I am here to accompany you. But, as for third sister, have you really not considered staying in Fuzhou?"
After the Hao Tian Festival, Prince Yuan ascended to become the Fuzhou Emperor, and Tu Suxuan replaced Zhu Qianjun as the National Guardian General.
Tu Suxuan was quite sentimental.
Both of them had unruly dispositions.
Yet now each had to fill a role, inheriting their respective national and familial duties.
"Third sister, you worry about your father; I can bring him to Fuzhou and grant him a residence."
The Fuzhou Emperor spoke with reluctance.
The three of them went through these hardships together, and if it hadn’t been for third sister, he might have died in Haotian Platform.
Although afterwards, both of them lost their memory, the Fuzhou Emperor hadn’t forgotten how third sister shielded him when Hua Yaorao tried to kill him.
This act of loyalty was something he would never forget.
Once, as a joke, he proposed marriage to Xin Lin.
Xin Lin rejected him straightforwardly.
That desire in his heart remained, and now that he was Fuzhou Emperor, he could offer her the position of Empress.
Yet, these words still wouldn’t come out of the Fuzhou Emperor’s mouth.
As if something inside him was preventing him from saying it.
Tu Suxuan looked at the Fuzhou Emperor; aside from gratitude, there was a different kind of emotion in his eyes.
Tu Suxuan understood the Fuzhou Emperor’s intention, only...
"Second brother, I understand your kindness, but I am accustomed to living in Longteng, moreover, my father’s health is yet to recover, and I intend to bring back some Spiritual Wisdom Grass. If you and eldest brother truly miss me, you can come to Longteng to see me. Additionally, I have a younger brother named Long Xinzhuo; he will be sent to Fuzhou as a hostage. I hope second brother and eldest brother take extra care of him as well."
Right now, Xin Lin was also eager to return home.
Starting from Fengdong to Fuzhou, she had lost a lot of time due to the Hao Tian Festival and the special assessment.
With the End of Year Assessment approaching fast, she needed to hurry back.
She was very worried about her father and the situation in Purple Cloud City, and wasn’t sure what new actions Empress Feng and her group might have taken.
"Since third sister is determined to leave, we won’t insist on keeping you here. Rest assured about your brother; he’s our brother too!"
Tu Suxuan promised emphatically.
The three siblings, thus, said their farewells.
