Xie Jingxing looked at the faces of the officials coldly before getting down on one knee in front of Shen Miao.

Everyone was caught off guard as they didn’t expect that the current emperor of the Daliang Dynasty and the ruler of the world would knee in front of a woman almost piously.

Shen Miao was helped by him to sit on the empress’s throne. She was dressed up elegantly by Nanny Tao and Jingzhe. The corners of her eyes were sprinkled with thin gold powder, making her look very majestic. She was wearing a golden empress court dress and had her eyes closed. Her long eyelashes were lowered, as if she was sleeping.

She was really a beautiful and tenacious woman. Gao Zhan said that Shen Miao had unfulfilled wishes, so she was unwilling to draw her last breath, which was why Gao Zhan could still keep her alive.

Then what could be her unfulfilled wishes?

Did she want to see Xie Jingxing again? Did she want to see Shi Wu and Chu Yi grow up, or did she want to say goodbye to Shen Xin and the others?

Xie Jingxing leaned over and whispered into her ear, “I’ve made you the empress. Why don’t you open your eyes and take a look?”

Shen Miao could not hear him. She was sleening in her own world. as if she was

going to sleep like this for the rest of her life.

Xie Jingxing stared at her and said, “I know you’re tired. Wake up when you’re done sleeping. Shi Wu and Chu Yi are looking for their mother.” He reached out and held Shen Miao’s cold hand under his sleeve. “I miss you too.”

The officials watched in silence as the young emperor did all of this. They had been in the imperial court for many years. The imperial court was filled with danger, and sincerity was never a quality they sought after. In a long time, they had never felt touched by others. In addition, Prince Rui was really not a good person in the past. Almost all the officials here had been taught a lesson by him. They naturally didn’t like him.

However, at this moment, they were actually moved by this scene. The love the young emperor displayed was undiluted.

Everyone would fall in love at some point, but it was too difficult to make this love last for a lifetime. Many people gave up halfway, but those who could make it to the end were few and far between.

Could Emperor Xiao Jing do it?

Xie Jingxing adjusted the heavy crown and put it on Shen Miao’s head. His movements were gentle and careful.

He leaned over slightly and kissed the woman’s eyes.

Time stopped and quickly flowed backwvards, sending him back to the day when he was still a mischievous young man and she was still carefully planning to deal with the royal family of Ming Qi. He asked her, “Shen Miao, do you want to be the empress?”

No one expected that in the end, he would become the emperor and she would become the empress.

Behind the throne room, Luo Tan, who was peeping, covered her mouth, as if she was about to cry out. She whispered, “He really made little cousin his empress… Little cousin was right about him…”

Behind her, Pei Lang also smiled. His smile was filled with relief, disappointment, and reluctance. He said, “How wonderful.”

In spring, apricot trees were blooming. As the breeze blew past, the petals fluttered down, spreading the fragrance across Long Ye. Birds stood on the branches and chirped, their cries filled with excitement.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, so quick that one felt like it had only been a moment.

To the people of Long Ye, the past six months had been extremely pleasant. Perhaps it was because they had wiped out Ming Qi, the State of Qin, or perhaps it was because the new emperor had a very different mindset. In short, Emperor Xiao Jing was a very competent emperor..
