Chapter 434 The First Emperor Returns to Soul
Well, it's not because Long Yunxuan became the emperor, but she didn't become the queen.
However, she thought that not long ago, the two of them were in the inn, discussing that in the future, he would use the opportunity of escorting him to fake his death to escape, and then travel with her in the world.
She also advised him to think clearly and make a decision carefully when the time comes.
However, who would have thought that God didn't even give him the time or opportunity to think about it.
Although King Ning has been eliminated, King Cheng is still there.
There was no way he could just let everything go and walk away.
In that case, with the help of Long Yunyu and the Liu family, who have a shady reputation, there is no way they can deal with Cheng Wang, who has been planning for many years and has a deep foundation.
The Dongling court will fall into chaos, and the people will be miserable.
Su Liluo was not surprised that Long Yunxuan would choose Lingqian to succeed him.
On the contrary, I admire him from the bottom of my heart for having such courage to take over the mess left by his emperor.
Moreover, Su Liluo understood that the ancients believed that a country should not be without a king for a day.
Emperor Dongling died at this juncture, and Long Yunxuan had no choice at all.
Perhaps it was his destiny to succeed to the throne before his death.
Even though, she could feel his sincerity when he said before that he wanted to join hands with her in the world.
Now it seems that they are destined not to have that fate.
The relationship between the two of them was really full of twists and turns. God deliberately played tricks on them and made them miss it again and again.
Su Liluo looked at the candlelight shadows on the stage, slowly coming together and separating, then slowly dissipating and reuniting.
The corners of my eyes felt a little sore for no reason.
[Little monster, tell me, is it true? Things are so unpredictable.
I never thought that one day, when he and I really have to go our separate ways, I would be so sad...]
[Master, are you going to go back and beat that person up!? If so, I support it! 】
【……】Dogs bark.
Su Liluo rolled her eyes in her heart. How could she really think that a piece of black iron could understand her complex emotions as a human being?
He just knows how to be simple and rude and use force against everyone.
Now that he has made his choice, it is time for her to let go of this relationship that is destined to be fruitless.
Procrastination and grinding are not her character.
Besides, she is rich and good-looking. In the future, she will not be able to find any satisfactory man!
If she really can never meet anyone who can make her heart beat like Long Yunxuan, then she will be beautiful alone and earn endless money in the world with her Xiao Yunfan and Xiao Luzhu. Look, It would be nice if there were no endless beautiful views in the world.
[Long Yunxuan, the road reaches the sky, from now on, let’s go separate ways!
I wish you all the best and everything goes as you wish. 】
Rong Yan is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and is good at observing words and expressions.
From Su Liluo's eyes, he could see that she had not yet let go of Dongling's new king.
He just smiled and stopped talking.
In this world, only time is the best medicine to heal everything.
He knew that anything he said at this moment would be useless to her.
Only by allowing her heart to truly come out of that relationship is the greatest respect for her.

According to Dongling etiquette, on the day of the death of the previous emperor, the prince should succeed to the throne in front of his soul.
After the funeral of the first emperor was held, the prince had to go to the Temple of Heaven and the Ancestral Temple to complete the heaven-sacrifice ceremony before he could officially ascend the throne as emperor.
The funeral of Emperor Dongling can be completed within seven days.
These seven days were crucial to Long Yunxuan, the newly succeeded emperor.
Because, before the overall situation is determined, it is doomed to be surrounded by crises and life and death are unpredictable.
King Cheng and Concubine Chu, who had been planning for most of their lives, as well as the ambitious Queen Liu's party, would not sit still and watch him successfully complete the enthronement ceremony.
Gu Jinyan and Li Fei were both on standby, leading their respective subordinates to guard every part of the palace.
Their purpose is that whenever an assassin sneaks in to kill Long Yunxuan, he will be unable to escape.
At night, there was silence in Dongling Palace.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind at the Nanjiao Gate.
Winter is approaching, and the wind carries a biting coldness, roaring like a dragon roaring up the remaining clouds.
In an instant, this strange wind swept into the Daqing Hall where Emperor Dongling lay dormant.
Suddenly, a harsh scream sounded in the silence!
The screams came from Daqing Hall.
They were the chief eunuch who kept vigil for the late emperor, as well as a group of palace maids and young eunuchs.
After the death of the late emperor, Hu Ke became bedridden.
The chief eunuch was newly promoted, and the Queen Mother looked over it, and finally let Long Yunxuan nod.
According to the ancestral system of Dongling, after the death of the emperor, the body must first be laid to rest in the Daqing Hall for seven days, and after the funeral, the emperor's holy body should be sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial.
During the period of mourning, all sixteen doors of the Daqing Hall will be opened to welcome the return of the late Emperor’s heroic spirit.
In fact, I was worried that the Holy Host would rot if placed in the stuffy hall, so I came up with the idea of keeping the door open.
However, that sounds a little more grandiose.
To demonstrate the supremacy of imperial power.
At this moment, just outside the wide-open palace door, a bright figure suddenly appeared.
The figure was thin but tall, walking slowly in the strong wind.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's the late Emperor! Long live the late Emperor!..."
The first person to recognize the phantom as Emperor Dongling was the newly promoted eunuch chief.
His eyes were full of horror, and he knelt down with a thud and started kowtowing to the figure.
"Your Majesty! No, it's the Supreme Emperor! The Supreme Emperor! The servants are keeping vigil for your old man, they are not bad people!
Please have mercy, please have mercy! "
Seeing him like this, the others knelt tremblingly, bowed their heads, and cried, begging to be let go.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
……
The ghostly figure did not enter the Daqing Hall, but just wandered in the open space outside the hall.
After hearing the eunuchs and maids begging on their knees, a voice floated out:
"I shouldn't be the Supreme Emperor... I... died unjustly..."
"It was the prince who poisoned me... He killed the king and his father, and his ambition was clear... to avenge me... to avenge me... His position as prince also forced me to issue an edict..."
"who!?"
The palace was heavily guarded, with the Royal Guards, Imperial Guards, and Langjun troops all guarding the area near the emperor's palace.
What they focus on protecting is the safety of the new king.
The Daqing Hall has stopped. No one would have thought that something would happen here.
It wasn't until the ghostly figure said a lot of resentful words outside that the patrolling imperial guards heard the sound and rushed over.
Holding long swords in their hands, they ran up the steps below the palace and slashed at the figure floating in mid-air.
However, it only broke the loneliness.
The ghostly figure, together with the sudden strong wind, disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"This this!"
The maids and eunuchs in the Daqing Palace were so frightened that they all knelt there trembling, not daring to make any move.
A group of imperial guards quickly formed a circle back to back and carefully checked the place where the phantom appeared just now, but found nothing.
