Chapter 403: Do your best and have a clear conscience
"My destiny lies in the Kingdom of Jin." Yan Li's voice was calm, and his tone was calm and free. "As early as when I promised the Queen of Jin to return to the Kingdom of Jin, I should have thought of today. Once I decide to do some things, there will be no The principle of giving up halfway.”
When King Yu heard this, he finally understood what Yan Li meant by the edict when he first entered the palace.
Did she come to the Southern Kingdom this time to write a succession edict in person?
King Yu's expression condensed slightly, and he unconsciously turned his head to look at King Feng.
Feng Wang said nothing.
This decision came so suddenly that people didn't know how to make a decision.
The emotions in Xuanyuan Jiahe's eyes changed from confusion, shock, surprise to confusion. He finally understood that Yan Li was so similar to the imperial sister, and also understood where her sense of familiarity came from.
녦She didn’t understand, how could the imperial sister become the eldest princess of another country?
An imperial edict?
Is the imperial sister passing the throne to the eldest imperial brother? Then she won't come back in the future?
"Master, do you think this is appropriate?" King Yu was silent for a moment and looked at the high priest, "Master and father unanimously decided that Xihe 꺳 was destined to be the empress of the Southern Kingdom. However, two years after Xihe 꺳 ascended the throne, something happened misfortune--"
"Destiny is true." The high priest said calmly, "Some things are destined. It was the empress of the Southern Kingdom before, and it will be the same as the empress of the Jin Kingdom in the future. Although they are two different countries, their fate is The same, the responsibility is the same.”
"I think the same as the high priest." Yan Li's tone was calm and convincing, "Unity is everyone's wish. The Great Emperor has the ability to make the Southern Kingdom continue to be strong and prosperous. The Southern Kingdom can be handed over to the Great Imperial Brother. 꿛, the high priest and I are both at ease. If my father were alive, he would probably agree to this decision."
"Then..." King Yu 꿛 held the coffin and frowned, "What should I do with Xihe's body?"
"After the imperial edict is established, the eldest emperor will ascend the throne immediately." Yan Li obviously does not care about this issue. "After he ascends the throne, hold a funeral and let her enter."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
"Is it safe to come in?" King Yu's expression changed, "So, you won't be coming back after seven years?"
Yan Li smiled faintly: "Seven years is a long time. Xihe's current physical body is twenty years old. If he is still twenty years old after seven years, do you think it is normal?"
Although the high priest said that she would return with her soul after seven years, since she decided to become Yan Li, she must carry out her responsibilities as Yan Li to the end. There is no reason to give up halfway.
What's more, knowing Yan Li's identity is equivalent to starting a new life - emotionally speaking, it is the beginning of her relationship with Mu Cang, which will eventually end with their passing.
In terms of responsibility, the Kingdom of Jin will be her destination from now on, and her mission will be there.
From this moment on, Xihe's life will be completely over.
"녦...녦The emperor is obviously still alive, how can he enter 꺱?" Xuanyuan Jiahe said anxiously, "If I enter 꺱, will I never come back again? No! This is not the result I want, right? It’s not fair, Princess Huang.”
"What's unfair?" Yan Li rubbed her head, "It's just a different way of living, but Xi He's body is indeed dead. It's not convenient for too many people to know about my existence. You know what I am doing."
Xuanyuan Jiahe's expression changed: "The Southern Kingdom is stronger than the Jin Kingdom. What if there is a war between the two countries in the future? Wouldn't the imperial sister suffer a lot?"
As soon as she asked this question, Yan Li and Feng Wang couldn't help but look at her with strange eyes.
Suffer?
Did he think this was a division of property between brother and sister, or did he think that the elder brother would use the elder to bully the younger and bully the weak?
"Fool, as long as the First Emperor and I are in power, there will never be a war between the two countries." Yan Li laughed, "Besides, there are still high priests and King Yu here, so don't worry about this problem."
"What about in a few decades?" Xuanyuan Jiahe was still worried, "In a few decades, when the eldest brother and the emperor are older, what will happen if your children start a war? Does the emperor put the fate of her life in the world? Tell them a mystery? Will they believe such a bizarre thing?"
What if the first king of the Southern Kingdom becomes ambitious?
Although she shouldn't doubt the eldest emperor brother, the high priest had clearly said before that Xi and the emperor's sister were the destined emperors of the Southern Kingdom. Only when Xihe ascended the throne could guarantee the unity of heaven and the stability of Kyushu.
Now that something has changed, will the fate of the Nine Kingdoms also change?
"Don't think so much." Yan Li comforted her warmly, "We can only try our best to do things within our capabilities. Who can see what will happen decades or even years later? There are nine countries in the world, and countries are different. We Just try your best to keep all countries in peace within a limited time, and leave the rest to time to prove.”
Nothing in heaven is completely within your control. Doing your best and having a clear conscience is the best result.
Fathers and sons can kill each other, couples who share the same bed can turn against each other, and brothers who have the same mother and mother are plotting against each other. Is there anything else that can guarantee that it will not change?
Thinking too much and worrying too much will only add unnecessary trouble to yourself.
Xuanyuan Jiahe's eyes were red, he didn't know whether he was cold or sad, and his face was completely white.
"It's cold here, and Jiahe won't be able to bear it for a while." Yan Li held her cold arms and said, "Let's go out first."
The group of people walked out of the ice room. Except for Xuanyuan Jiahe who had been trying to find reason to persuade Yan Li to change his mind, everyone else remained silent.
King Feng was silent, and so was Mu Cang.
After Yan Li appeased Xuanyuan Jiahe, he quickly went to the front hall of the priest's hall and ordered someone to prepare pen and ink in the warm pavilion in the front hall.
"When my father decided to let me be the Queen of the Southern Kingdom, he asked me to practice this font alone. The Southern Kingdom is unique, so when this edict is written, no one will doubt its authenticity." Yan Li sat in front of the desk, spread out a blank edict, picked up a pen and began to write, "After the New Year and the beginning of spring, the high priest will read it in the court. In February, my eldest brother will ascend the throne. Instruct him to deal with the accomplices of King Xiao and Shen Yanshu, purge the court, and prepare for Xihe's funeral in January. There is no need to make a fuss, just keep it simple."
The King of Phoenix was silent for a long time, and suddenly held Yan Li's hand: "Xihe, please think about it again."
"What to consider?" Yan Li's voice was gentle but firm, "I have been away from the Southern Kingdom for a year, and my eldest brother should have adapted to the regent. It is the best time to ascend the throne after the New Year."
She is gone, why is she still occupying the throne?
The King of Phoenix frowned slightly and said nothing more.
Yan Li quickly wrote the edict, put it aside to dry, and then calmly said: "High Priest, has Mu Cang been to the Southern Priest Hall before?"
When this was said, the other people were stunned.
Especially Prince Yu, his surprised eyes turned to Mu Cang and the high priest: "The Ninth Prince has been to the Southern Priest Hall?"
