Chapter 1206 Going South Again
But Lu Xingwan was not happy.
With such a big thing happening, it was not logical for Lu Xingwan to return to the world of immortal cultivation with his senior brother as planned.
Lu Jingming was a considerate man. He saw Lu Xingwan's dilemma and didn't say anything more.
He just comforted her gently and asked her to finish her worldly affairs first and put other things aside.
When Lu Xingwan entered the palace, he saw his mother sitting there in a daze. There was no trace of the lively look in her eyes as before.
Lu Xingwan had never seen her mother so distraught before. Even when the Crown Prince was detained in the clan residence by their father, her mother had never been like this.
Lu Xingwan just felt a little flustered, so she hurried forward a few steps, wanting to speak to comfort her mother, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Comfort her mother? What was she going to comfort her mother with?
Now that the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, this should be the outcome that mother wanted.
Didn't mother enter the palace just to take care of the Crown Prince for my aunt?
Now that Crown Prince has ascended the throne smoothly, Mother can be said to have protected him. Mother should be happy.
Song Qingyan also noticed Lu Xingwan's actions and quickly woke up from her memories. She took a step forward and pulled Lu Xingwan's hand.
Neither the mother nor the daughter spoke a word, but everything was implied.
None of them mentioned this matter again.
For the common people, since the prince had been in power for many years, there was actually no change. However, for the former court and the harem, there was a huge change.
The atmosphere in this palace is somewhat difficult to describe.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, everyone should respect him.
But my father is still here.
This leads to a slightly...
According to the old rules, now that the Great Chu Emperor has abdicated, he should vacate Longsheng Palace for the Crown Prince to live in.
He should not be called the crown prince. Today's crown prince is the new emperor, the new emperor of the Great Chu State.
Lu Xingwan was already accustomed to calling the prince "brother", so now he felt a little uncomfortable doing so.
Lu Jinyao had already established a title for himself, Emperor He.
He just hoped that the empire that his father had conquered and defended would continue to be ruled peacefully in his hands in the future.
Emperor He would naturally not mention the matter of changing the palace. No matter what his father had done to him, he would always be in awe of his father.
Besides, he was used to staying in Xingyang Palace and thought it was a very good place.
He even said frankly that although his father had abdicated, he had lived in Longsheng Palace for so many years and had already gotten used to it.
The two of them don't need to make any more changes.
Moreover, in his eyes, the status and influence of the Emperor of Great Chu cannot be underestimated.
Many decisions in the court in the future will still require my father's guidance.
The Emperor of Chu looked at his son kneeling in front of him. His stubborn expression was very much like his younger self.
Suddenly, the past between Qingya and himself came to mind again.
Jin Yao actually looks very much like his mother.
Now seeing him kneeling in front of him like this, the Emperor of Great Chu couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Ever since he detained Jin Yao, he always felt a little guilty when facing him again.
Although he still couldn't figure out what had disturbed him at the time, the damage to Jin Yao was real.
Looking at Jin Yao's stubborn expression in front of him, the Emperor of Great Chu finally just sighed softly and did not argue about the matter any more.
Xingyang Palace is where Qingya lived before, it just changed its name.
I think Jin Yao was willing to live here because he always missed his mother in his heart.
In the past few days, the Emperor of Great Chu has not participated in the affairs of the court. The Emperor He came to seek advice several times, but was stopped outside by him.
He knew that Jin Yao could handle these things by himself, and he was acting like this just to save face.
But no one expected that a few days later, the Emperor of Great Chu made another shocking decision: he wanted to go on a tour to the south.
This incident, of course, shocked everyone.
Although the world is stable now, it is not impossible for the Emperor of Great Chu, as the emperor emeritus, to go on a tour.
But once he left, all the power in the court was destined to fall into the hands of Emperor He.
Although the current Emperor He is the son that the Emperor of Great Chu relies on the most, and he will always hand over all his power to Emperor He in the future.
But now that he is still here, he should at least keep some for himself.
This kind of thing happened in the previous dynasty.
The emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne.
But after the new emperor ascended the throne, he changed his attitude and was no longer as respectful to the retired emperor as before.
Therefore, although it was rare for an emperor to attain Zen while still alive, since he was a Zen master, he always had to leave himself a way out.
Emperor He was even more unwilling to do so.
My father is now old, but he is no less strong than he was when he was young.
Given his current physical condition, he should live in the palace and enjoy his old age.
If my father really goes out and encounters any trouble, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Although he knew that his father longed for freedom, he also wanted to eliminate all dangers at the source.
Although he knew that his father would not allow him to meet him, Emperor He still rushed into Longsheng Palace in a hurry.
This time he did not exchange polite words with his father as usual. Instead, he knelt down in front of his father with a thump, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Over the years, I know you have worked very hard for the court. It has not been easy along the way. And now I have just ascended the throne."
"I am a son who has just ascended the throne, and I am really terrified. I beg you to stay in the palace and support me."
"If you go south, after a few years, when the world is stable, I will go with you, okay?"
The Emperor of Great Chu knew that this was impossible. Emperor He had always been diligent and hardworking. Today, the Great Chu Kingdom not only had its own homeland, but also the Yong'an County, which was also under the jurisdiction of the Great Chu.
Moreover, the Dali Kingdom is now even more dependent on the Dachu Kingdom. All of this needs to be decided by Hedi. Hedi has much more to do than he had to do before.
Second, Hedi will not have the opportunity to leave in the short term.
But looking at his son in front of him, the guilt in the heart of the Great Chu Emperor suddenly disappeared. Now, he felt more relieved.
His men exerted force and lifted Emperor He up.
Emperor He did not dare to use too much force, and relied on his father's arm strength to stand up.
"Now that you have grown up, I see your responsibility. I hand over this world to you. I trust you."
"Over the years, I have also seen your ability. I believe that the Great Chu Kingdom will be even better than before in your hands."
