Chapter 2085: Chapter 67: The Meaning of Abdication

Time flies, and the years swiftly pass.

Autumn of Kaiping’s 8th year in Great Yan, at the Royal Pasture, two small teams are competing.

"The Imperial Brother has lost." The young man dressed in a bright yellow Five-Clawed Golden Dragon robe, wearing a golden crown, looked at the battlefield below and spoke to the person beside him.

"He has lost, yet he also won." He won hearts and loyalty.

"Imperial Aunt?"

These two are the Emperor of Great Yan, Emperor Kaiping Jhin Mingdong, and the Regent Consort Wufu.

"Though they are his guards, they are also his companions. Even if he is their master and has the right to be protected and escape first, it would be too cold-hearted to leave them to die without trying to save them if there’s a breath of life left. In this way, he’s doing well." Wufu gazed with a smile at her son, who lay sprawled in the shape of a big character below on the pasture.

Emperor Kaiping smiled: "In terms of military strategy, Changsheng has the upper hand and has the demeanor of a great general, whereas the Imperial Brother seems a bit too eager."

"They’re all young and impulsive." Wufu smiled faintly, turned her head to look at the Emperor, and said, "It’s good you see this too."

Emperor Kaiping’s lips curved slightly, somewhat bashful. His demeanor was graceful and gentle, with a noble aura, but he didn’t possess the innate majesty of Emperors she’d seen; he resembled more a prince of the Imperial family, wealthy and elegant.

Wufu sighed softly in her heart.

"Imperial Aunt." Emperor Kaiping suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

"Imperial Aunt, once the Emperor turns fifteen, I want to abdicate the throne." Emperor Kaiping summoned the courage to say.

Wufu’s pupils shrank, and her aura instantly became fierce: "Who has spoken to you about this?"

Emperor Kaiping quickly said: "No one; it’s my own thought."

"Emperor." Wufu frowned.

Emperor Kaiping lowered his head with a bitter smile and said, "Imperial Aunt, a person who cannot produce an heir cannot be an Emperor."

Wufu’s heart was suddenly pierced by something, with a hint of pain, she said, "Xiao Bai has already gone to Mount Changbai; maybe he can fetch a miraculous medicine..."

"Imperial Aunt." Seeing the compassion in her eyes, Emperor Kaiping felt a slight warmth in his heart and smiled, "Even if the miraculous medicine is found, it may not cure me. I was given the Sterility Pill by her; how can I bear children again?"

Wufu pursed her lips, her hands clenched tightly. Every time at this moment, she wished she could drag Empress Song out and whip her corpse. How could she be so ruthless, afraid that the Prince of Yan might have descendants? Before plotting out that major plan to kill the Emperor’s heirs, she even gave such vicious medicine to several children.

If it wasn’t for one of the Empress’s party unexpectedly confessing, they wouldn’t have known why the Emperor, after being married for three years, had no news at all.

"Imperial Aunt, don’t be sad. I actually am not suited for this position." Emperor Kaiping noticed Wufu’s low spirits and said, "In fact, I already feel like I have gained a lot. Back then, you snatched me away from death’s hands, let me become an Emperor and enjoy all the wealth and glory. You and the Imperial Uncle unified Nanyue, yet history still records me, Jhin Mingdong, as the founding Emperor of Great Yan. I’ve gained and it’s enough."

"Emperor..."

"Now the affairs of state are still managed by the Imperial Uncle, and honestly, I prefer reading to politics. Imperial Aunt, no longer being Emperor, I would like to travel and see the world with you all. The Imperial Brother is clever and wise, adept at managing people even at a young age, far more capable than I am. He’ll manage the house of Great Yan well."

Wufu’s throat seemed to be choked by something, she said: "Let’s talk about this later. The wind has picked up; they’ve finished as well, let’s go down."

Emperor Kaiping nodded, stepping aside to let her go first. As Wufu passed by him, he heard a slight sigh.
