The death of the Princess was a national mourning event and the funeral that Song Fengzhi valued most. If this accident had not occurred, she would have been the most honored person besides Shen Ye.
Everything seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents were already surging both inside and outside the palace, and even in the surrounding countries.
At this time, the empire was beset by internal and external troubles. Although the princes had been captured and imprisoned in the dungeon by Shen Ye, some of their former subordinates still wanted to rebel and try to rescue them.
Not only that, even neighboring countries were thinking of taking this opportunity to invade and devour the empire.
Thinking of this, Song Fengzhi rallied his spirits. He used the imperial edict to support Shen Ye's ascension to the throne, while he himself moved to the inner palace, ruling from behind the curtain as empress, becoming the man behind Shen Ye.
During the enthronement ceremony, Shen Ye suddenly remembered Feng Changyu in the dungeon. If this person was not eliminated, he would surely become a disaster. For his own sake, he personally delivered a white silk ribbon to Feng Changyu, giving him ample face.
After emerging from the dungeon, the coronation ceremony officially began. Once the coronation ceremony was over, Shen Ye's mission would be complete, and it wouldn't matter who seized the throne afterward.
But the allure of the throne is immense; once someone sits on that throne, they never want to step down.
Shen Ye was like that; he selfishly wanted to exterminate Feng Changyu and the others, and selfishly wanted to secure his throne.
However, Feng Changyu was ultimately smarter, and his system was also more powerful than Shen Ye's, so Shen Ye lost.
When Yin Xingchuan led his troops into Taiji Hall, Shen Ye nestled in Song Fengzhi's arms. In that instant, he realized that as long as he was with the one he loved, even simple meals were like delicacies.
So he decided to give up the throne. He looked at Song Fengzhi and said, "Let's go. As long as I'm with you, anywhere is fine."
"Don't you want to be the emperor anymore?" Song Fengzhi was well aware of Shen Ye's ambition to become emperor.
"I don't want to think about it anymore." Shen Ye shook his head; in the end, he had lost.
Song Fengzhi hugged Shen Ye even tighter. He would never tell Shen Ye that he had deliberately let Yin Xingchuan break in. All he wanted was to be with Shen Ye forever.
The throne would only push them further apart, so he decided to give it up.
Under the escort of the secret guards, Song Fengzhi successfully led Shen Ye out of the palace and to an unfamiliar place with rivers, grasslands, blue skies, and white clouds.
Song Fengzhi was born to ride horses, so he adapted very well to life on the grasslands.
However, Shen Ye suffered from altitude sickness and had a persistent high fever ever since arriving here. Song Feng was very anxious and consulted various doctors on the grassland, but there was still no improvement. Just when he was about to take Shen Ye away from the grassland, Shen Ye's illness miraculously disappeared.
Later, Song Fengzhi taught Shen Ye how to ride a horse and shoot arrows. Shen Ye went from being a complete novice to a grassland man who could ride a horse and herd livestock on his own.
The grasslands are vast, the rivers flow endlessly, and the earth nurtures these grasslands.
Song Fengzhi was destined to love Shen Ye from birth, and was also destined to be with Shen Ye from birth.
Although their relationship was not explicitly stated, the people on the grassland knew it all too well, and even took the initiative to arrange a wedding for them.
Shen Ye is shy, but Song Fengzhi thinks this is feasible.
So, half a month later, on the grassland, witnessed by all things, the two bowed to heaven and earth, drank the nuptial wine, and the herdsmen of the grassland witnessed them becoming husband and wife, and witnessed their love that transcended gender.
