Chapter 398 Only One Chance
Cui Si was completely stunned and looked at him in disbelief: "You don't want to be the emperor anymore?"
How is this possible?
"No." He reached out and rubbed her slightly cold fingers, rubbing them until they were warm. Then he said, "Leave it all to the child. I'll just be the King of Northern Yan."
Yan Xingchuan did not think about this matter on a whim. He had been thinking about it for the past month.
He really had no ambition to be emperor, and he chose this path for revenge.
Moreover, he was too attached to friendship. It was okay for him to be the King of Northern Yan, because he valued friendship and there were endless people willing to follow him. But he also knew that with his temperament, he would most likely be carried away by these friendships after becoming emperor.
Of course, he is not unwilling to work hard for it.
However, Cui Si was unwilling to marry him or be his queen. For her, the position of queen had already been given to someone else by him, and she no longer wanted it.
In this case, it would be meaningless for him to sit in that position again. Moreover, if he became the emperor, there would be more people gossiping and pointing fingers at the unclear relationship between him and her, and they would even disturb her in order to compete with her.
In this case, it is better to leave it to the children.
Her child is the emperor, who in the world dares to gossip about her?
And he and she, just as he promised in his previous life, there was no emperor or empress, only him and her.
Cui Si bit her lip: "But he is still young, I'm afraid it's not suitable."
Although she didn't know when the war would end, Cui Si felt that it would not take many years.
"Then let him be the crown prince first, and I will be the presiding prince of Northern Yan. When he is older, I will let him be the emperor. When he can handle things on his own, I will step down. From now on, I will not be in charge of anything and will be with you every day."
"A'si, we missed a lot of time before. I will accompany you all the time in the future, just as compensation to you..."
Yan Xingchuan said a lot, and Cui Si listened quietly, her mind in a mess.
She really didn't expect that Yan Xingchuan would have such an idea, so he simply gave up being the emperor.
If he didn't become emperor, would Lin Qingning continue to pester him?
Perhaps the two of them will retire and no longer care about worldly affairs. Lin Qingning can't even find them, so how can she still bother him?
Cui Si didn't know.
"Are you willing to give up this supreme power so easily?" Cui Si asked him.
"How can this be considered giving up?" Yan Xingchuan denied giving up. "I left it to the child. Everything I have will be his, right? It's all in our own hands."
Yan Xingchuan would not be so foolish as to give the kingdom he had conquered to others. Even if he did not really like being the emperor, if the emperor was his only child, there was nothing he could not give.
He only wished that his son was smarter and could ascend the throne earlier so that he could let go sooner.
"A'si, do you like going out to play? When he grows up and I'm no longer in charge of him, we can travel around and see the different places you want to go and see the different scenery in this world."
"But it's far..."
"It's okay. We can walk slowly and take a look around. When we get tired, we can stop and rest. When we get bored, we can move to another place. If we are really too tired, we can go back and reunite with our children. By that time, you and I may already be grandparents."
He described the future very well: it would be just the two of them together, they could go wherever they wanted, the world would be peaceful, the people would live in peace, and they would be free.
Cui Si couldn't help but nod after hearing this, feeling a little longing and anticipation in her heart.
This was probably the only expectation she had for their future since she had been with him.
If he could do it, it would be nice for the two of them to live like this for the rest of their lives.
As for his unwillingness to be emperor and leaving the position to their child, that was naturally the best thing for her. Even if Lin Qingning still refused to give up and threatened to commit suicide to force him to marry her, he would have to give up on the issue of the child.
This forced the emperor's biological mother to become a concubine and forced his biological father to marry someone else. Who in the court dared to say a word?
This is probably a matter of life and death.
Cui Si's expression softened a bit, and her attitude softened. She lay down and rested her head on his legs: "You said that, I didn't force you."
"I said it, it's my own decision. I don't ask for much, just don't leave me."
Cui Si thought for a moment and nodded: "If you can do this, I will naturally not leave. If the child ascends the throne, it is not impossible for you and I to get married."
She staked the favor he sought.
Since they are already like this and have a child, if she didn't have any concerns, why wouldn't she want to get married and instead be together like this in a confused way?
But if Yan Xingchuan did not become the emperor, and the child directly sat on that position, all problems would seem to be solved.
No one dared to force the emperor's biological mother to be a concubine. There was no such thing as gratitude or morality.
Even if Lin Qingning still wanted to marry Yan Xingchuan, she could only be a concubine. Lin Qingning was both inferior and proud, so she naturally would not agree to that. If that was the case, it would be better for her to be Yan Xingshan's wife and enjoy the glory and wealth.
"Really?" Yan Xingchuan was stunned at first, then his face was full of fear. Then, he showed joy, "A'si, what you said is true. Are you really willing to marry me?"
Seeing him so excited, Cui Si felt a little embarrassed. She took the quilt beside her and covered herself with it: "I want to sleep for a while, don't bother me."
"Don't sleep." Yan Xingchuan refused to let her sleep, pulled the quilt off, and said, "First, explain yourself clearly. I heard everything you said, Ah Si, you can't lie to me."
"Then let's wait until the child in my belly becomes emperor." Cui Si reached out and slapped his hand away. "We can get married, but there are prerequisites. You must complete the prerequisites first, and then we can talk about marriage."
"What I said is true. Don't worry, I really don't want to be the emperor anymore. I've given everything to the child. When the time comes, don't regret it."
Yan Xingchuan quickly calculated in his mind. The child had not been born yet. For him to be able to stand on his own feet, no matter how smart and capable he was, he would have to wait until he was twelve or thirteen years old.
Although it takes a long time, I finally have hope and no longer have to worry about which direction to go.
It's only twelve years, he can afford to wait.
"Who regrets it?" Cui Si said angrily, "You'd better not regret it."
Having said that, Cui Si looked at Yan Xingchuan with a warning in her eyes: "For the sake of the child, and because I see that you are truly sincere, I will give you this chance, but you should know that this chance only comes once."
"I cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes, nor will I tolerate my husband betraying me. If you dare to do anything to let me and the child down, I will definitely not let you go."
