Chapter 503: 【Abdicated Edict】

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
The candlelight in Yanshou Palace is distinct and dazzling.
Xiahou Shangle sat in the sleeping hall, and looked at Nian'er, who was slowly falling asleep while lying on the bed, with a slight smile on his face.
The little hand patted him lightly, finally humming a faint tune.
Bai Yuchen was standing next to her, watching her coaxing her to sleep like this, and suddenly there was an indescribable touch in her heart.
Such a scene is so desirable, a good wife and a child, in his heart is so kind and warm.
"Fell asleep?"
Although he clearly knew that Nian'er was asleep now, Bai Yuchen asked softly like this, and Xiahou Shangle turned his head and smiled at him.
"Maybe I was too tired today, I just lay down and fell asleep after a while."
With Bai Yuchen's support, Xiahou Shangle slowly stood up, with a satisfied and pleased smile on his face.
She never thought that Dragon Emperor would agree to let her leave so easily. She never had the opportunity to speak to Dragon Emperor and tell her what she wanted to do. As a result, he could see her thoughts.
"Nian'er is really strong." Bai Yuchen assisted Xiahou Shangle and walked out of the dormitory. The two sat in the hall outside the dormitory, holding each other's hands and looking at each other, but no one said a word.
But they all had deep attachment and affection in their eyes. After so many things, they were finally able to stay together. So much suffering, is it to fulfill their staying together today?
But no matter what it is for, two people are now the most important thing.
"Happy, sorry..."
"What are you sorry to say?" After interrupting Bai Yuchen's words, Xiahou Shangle couldn't understand why he would say such a sorry sentence. What's wrong for two people just staying together like this?
Bai Yuchen lowered his head and kissed her white and slender fingers. There was happiness and disbelief on her face. Long Di, such a proud and noble person, would have been so easily cut off and Xiahou’s pleasure for thousands of years. It’s now gone. After a day, Bai Yuchen still couldn't believe that he and Xiahou Shangle could really be together.
"If it's not because of me, you don't have to be with Dragon Emperor..."
"I chose the road myself, and I chose the feelings myself! Before, I didn't have the courage to reject the life I didn't want to live, but now I don't want to give in again!"
Xiahou Shangle said lightly, his voice was very gentle, and when he raised his head, he smiled happily and tenderly at Bai Yuchen.
This kind of wish is not only what Xiahou wants to enjoy, but also what she expects.
She had never thought of this before, but after she met Bai Yuchen, she discovered that her ten thousand years of affection was nothing more than a responsibility and mission, which could not match her feelings for Bai Yuchen.
Although it was only a short period of time, it made her understand what true love is and what kind of feeling is true love.
"Happy, don't worry, I will treat you well!"
Not knowing what to say, Bai Yuchen was silent for a long time before uttering such a sentence softly. Compared to the pledge of eachother, such a promise that I will be very good to you is really not pleasant.
But in Xiahou's appreciation of music, waves of ripples were stirred up in Xiahou's heart. Sometimes she was afraid of giving promises when she was deeply in love, because she didn't want to, but was afraid that the promise she gave would not be realized.
The regret that the vows will eventually be passed away will leave a wound in the hearts of many people that will never heal!
"I believe you."
Like a young girl who is in love, Xiahou Shangle expressed his feelings and clasped his hands tightly together.
Even if he didn't speak, the hall was still filled with sweet and warm breath.
"The emperor, the slave has something to ask to see the emperor."
Haicheng's voice came in from outside the door, and Xiahou Shangle withdrew his hand from Bai Yuchen's hand with some embarrassment and smiled at him.
Bai Yuchen also curled his lips and smiled. After finishing his mood, a serious expression appeared on his face again.
"come in!"
The door opened with a creak, and Haicheng was holding a golden brocade box. When he saw Xiahou Shangle and Bai Yuchen, his face was slightly joyful.
When Concubine Mei was driven out of the palace, Haicheng knew that Bai Yuchen actually had feelings for her.
Now seeing two people return to the palace at the same time, with a five or six-year-old child, Haicheng, who has been living in the harem for a long time, can naturally think of what happened.
"I want to see me now, what's the matter?"
Haicheng put the brocade box on the table and waited aside with his head down.
Bai Yuchen asked him to read the brocade box at Prince Yi's Mansion three days later, and now he has returned.
Haicheng didn't know whether he should go to Prince Yi's Mansion to continue reading the imperial decree in the brocade box. After thinking for a long time, he finally asked to see Bai Yuchen and let him make a decision.
"This is what you gave to the minion when you left today. Now that you are back, the minion specially sent the things back to the emperor!"
Bai Yuchen sat on the chair, and didn't show too much expression because of Haicheng's words, it was still the same as before Haicheng came in.
Turning his head to look at the peaceful Xiahou Shangle, Bai Yuchen suddenly felt a little bit.
It is enough to have Xiahou appreciation in this life, this emperor is already a heavy burden for him.
He just wanted to live a life of two people with Xiahou, and everything else was no longer important.
If he continues to be the emperor, he will definitely have too much restraint and involuntary self. In that case, he and Xiahou Shangle will not be able to live the life they want.
Not to mention anything else, just Nian'er.
All the ministers and the eunuchs in the harem would question his life experience, even if he believed that he was his son, but it did not mean that everyone would believe it.
He did not want Xiahou Shangle to suffer any harm, nor did he want their children to look at other people's colors.
Thinking of this, Bai Yuchen's decision became more firm.
"Since I have handed it over to you, then you will go to Prince Yi's Mansion to read it three days later!"
"The emperor, this is an abdication edict! You must know that once this imperial decree is read, Lord Yi will become the emperor, and you..."
"Haicheng!" Bai Yuchen's voice increased a little, with a smile on his face. He looked at Xiahou Shangle and held out her hand. Then he looked at Haicheng again, "Go down, just follow Do what I said! I have wasted so many years. Now that I know what to do and what not to do, and I also know what I want, you don't have to persuade me anymore!"
Haicheng sighed helplessly, and retired with the brocade box.
"Are you going to abdicate?" Xiahou Shangle waited for Haicheng to leave before asking her own question. She had to say that Bai Yuchen's behavior moved her again.
"I don't want you to go through some fights or suffer any harm. After thinking about it, only if we leave here can we completely avoid these!" Bai Yuchen said lightly, as if talking about the most plain thing. Anyone who saw his current expression would never think that what he said was such a major thing as giving up the throne.
"Le'er, would you think that this is unfair to you and Nian'er?"
Although this was his idea, Bai Yuchen still wanted to ask what Xiahou Shangle meant. If she wants Nian'er to be the emperor, then he will continue to be the emperor, and in the days to come, he will try his best to protect The safety of their mother and child.
"Being an emperor is not the best thing in the world. In my heart, I would rather Nian'er be able to grow up carefree throughout his life, and I don't want him to be in such a cold palace forever!"
Xiahou's voice for enjoying music is still very soft. In her heart, happiness is the most important thing. Having the supreme right will only become a burden, not happiness!
"Le'er, rest assured! I will do my best to make you and Nian'er happy and worry-free!"
