Qin Shen nodded, deeply agreeing.
Eagle changed the subject, "By the way, what do you think the Prince is thinking? Why hasn't he ascended the throne yet? It's been three months since we took the capital, hasn't it? Isn't he afraid that things might change if he delays?"
"This..." Qin Shen frowned slightly, looking at the eagle uncertainly, "Actually, I feel that the prince... doesn't really want to ascend the throne."
"Huh?" The eagle was stunned. "Don't want to ascend the throne? How could that be?"
If the prince didn't want to ascend the throne, why did he conquer the court? Wouldn't it have been better to just lead them to a peaceful corner of the country?
Qin Shen shook his head. "I don't know either, but that's just how I feel."
If the prince wanted to ascend the throne, the best opportunity would actually be to take over the capital and directly declare a change of dynasty.
But the prince didn't; instead, he flew back to Dingshui Village.
To say it was because the princess was pregnant is a bit of a stretch; the prince must have had other ideas.
There were many others who were also anxious because Lu Yanzheng did not ascend the throne, including the old ministers who had been secretly supporting and helping him.

This time, however, the two did not stay at Jiang Qinyu's house, but instead stayed at a small house in the county town.
"Old Lu, do you know why the Prince hasn't ascended the throne?" Qin Ziyi asked as he played chess with Old Master Lu.
Grandpa Lu, who was holding a chess piece, threw it down upon hearing this, shrugged, and said, "How would I know?"
"Isn't he a member of your Lu family? Can't you go and ask him?" Qin Ziyi rolled his eyes at him. "The world cannot be without a ruler for a day. If the prince does not ascend the throne soon, the world may face new changes."
Old Master Lu sighed and said, "I would like to ask, but what right do I have to ask? The Prince hasn't even acknowledged his biological father and grandfather, so what am I, his cousin?"
"We can't just let the throne remain vacant!" Qin Ziyi lost interest in playing. He put the chess pieces back in the box, got up, and walked out. "No, I need to find someone to ask..."
For him, the stability of the world was the most important thing, and as it turns out, Lu Yanzheng had the ability to achieve that.
