Su Xingyi did not hesitate and handsomely lifted his robe and sat on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, your servants, greet us! Long live the Emperor."

All the ministers knelt down immediately and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Except for Shangguan Yu, Xiao Xier, and other people present, no one performed the kneeling ceremony. The Su brothers, the old virtuous king, the princes of the Eastern Seal, and others performed the half-kneeling ceremony.

Su Xingyi looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and finally understood why so many people were fighting for the throne.

When he was still a hunter in Guihua Village, these people were powerful people whom he could not afford to offend.

To offend them means the destruction of your family!

The powerful and influential people who were once out of his reach, terrifying and gigantic existences now kneel before him and pay him tribute.

If they dared to oppress the people, he would punish them and seek justice for the people.

This is imperial power!

"Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Xingyi glanced at Emperor Qianyuan who was standing three steps in front of him on the left.

Emperor Qianyuan saw that nothing was wrong and turned to look at his ministers. "The new emperor will officially ascend the throne in three days. Court is adjourned!"

Emperor Qianyuan said this and strode away.

"Farewell to the Emperor."

Emperor Qianyuan paused for a moment, and then Li Haiying followed him and strode away.

Su Xingyi stood up from the dragon throne, gave the four brothers and sisters a look, then walked down the imperial platform and left through the back door.

"Farewell, Your Majesty." The deafening voices of the ministers were still echoing in the Yangxin Palace, but Su Xingyi had already left.

The four brothers and sisters followed closely behind.

"Father!" Su Ningjie ran towards Su Xingyi as usual.

Su Ningwen quickly grabbed him and said, "Second brother, Daddy is now the emperor, we can't be like that anymore."

Only then did Su Ningjie realize that his behavior of wanting to throw himself into Su Xingyi's arms was indeed too inappropriate. He knocked his father down and was in big trouble.

His father is now the most powerful man in the capital. If he can't throw himself at someone, he can only cling to his father's golden thigh!

Su Ningjie did what he said and hugged Su Xingyi's thigh.

Suningwen/Suningan: ...

Only Xiao Xier was laughing beside him.

"Daddy, you are the emperor now. I will hold on to your golden thigh tightly and never let go."

Su Xingyi was in a very good mood. From now on, he would be the children's rock-solid support!

"Okay, okay, hug me as much as you can!"

Su Ning'an quickly pulled Su Ningwen forward and said, "Daddy, can I call you father openly now?"

"Of course, call Father a few times and let him listen."

"Father!"

"Father!"

"Father!"

"Father!"

The four brothers and sisters shouted in unison, which made Su Xingyi very happy.

"Alright, kids, let's go back to the East Palace and shout 'Mother' in front of your mother."

Afterwards, Su Xingyi took the children and boarded the imperial sedan chair, returning to the Eastern Palace in a hurry.

"I have abdicated and made way for the wiser. Is your uncle going to fulfill his promise?"

Without saying a word, the old wise king asked Li Haiying to bring the brazier and take the will out of the box in front of Emperor Qianyuan.

"Emperor…Emperor Retired, do you want to see it?"

“I don’t want to see it!”

Emperor Qianyuan didn't want to watch it, for he was worried that after watching it, he would not be able to help but complain that his father was partial.

The old wise king pursed his lips and threw the will into the brazier.

As the will was consumed by flames and turned into ashes, Emperor Qianyuan felt completely at ease.

"Your Majesty, I am going back."

"Aying, see the virtuous king off."

"It's the Emperor... The Retired Emperor." Li Haiying was not used to the sudden change of address after calling him the Emperor for twenty-three years.

Emperor Qianyuan sat down and saw that there was not a single memorial on the imperial desk. Then he remembered that he had ordered all the memorials to be sent to the Eastern Palace.

He had already abdicated, so why should he worry about anything? He turned around and went to the Cining Palace and personally sent Empress Dowager Du to Shoukang Palace.

"Feng Yanzhi proclaimed himself the Supreme Emperor, and retained the power to depose the crown prince, and also retained some military power."

It is not difficult to guess from the Eastern Seal that this part of the troops should be the strongest force in Yibei's army.

"He wants to find an opportunity to pull Ayi down, but he won't have that chance." Gu Yunshu said bitterly.

"They are still in the palace. You can't enter the palace at will for the time being. After the ceremony of the coronation of the queen is over, Ayi will send Feng Yanzhi out of the palace. Empress Dowager Du will go to Shoukang Palace and won't come out again. Then you can enter the palace to see Xiaowu at any time."

Gu Yunshu wanted to avenge her murder and had to ask Empress Dowager Du for it in person!

As for Feng Yan, keep him and torture him slowly!

East Palace.

Xiao Lingyu felt a little dizzy when the children kept calling her "Mother".

Seeing that they were in high spirits, there was no way to force them to sleep on the bed.

I simply ordered a table full of delicious food to calm the four brothers and sisters down.

The four brothers and sisters felt sleepy because they got up early and ate and drank enough.

Seeing that the children were all asleep, Xiao Lingyu finally had the chance to tell Su Xingyi, "The Grand Emperor and Grand Empress Dowager Du are both in the palace. Our mother still has to cover her face when she enters the palace and is not allowed to be free."

"Don't worry, the Grand Empress Dowager won't let her out after she goes to Shoukang Palace. She's weak now and needs a light diet. She doesn't like to eat rich fish or meat. She needs to rest and doesn't need so many palace servants to serve her. Yun Gu and Fu Xuan will be enough to serve her."

The implication was to confine Empress Dowager Du to Shoukang Palace.

"... Yun Gu and Fu Xuan told the Grand Empress Dowager that they were rare loyal servants, so they were ordered to copy ten scriptures for her every day as a token of their loyalty."

Ten articles a day?

Xiao Lingyu was surprised, "What scriptures are you copying?"

"It's said that the more words in the sutra, the better. I will personally select them and have them copy it."

Ten articles a day, only one of these two people comes to serve Empress Dowager Du every day.
