Chapter 701 It’s time to return
Yuanjiu walked to the middle of the hall with the bright yellow imperial edict, and only began to read it after seeing everyone kneeling on the ground.
From now on, Wu Hanyu will take over the throne of the Great Xia Kingdom, Wu Xiao will be the Supreme Emperor, and Crown Princess Zhuoma will be the Empress. Wu Hanyu will be in charge of all court affairs, and Wu Xiao will no longer be involved.
The eighth prince was named Prince Rui and remained in the capital to help the new emperor handle government affairs.
Although the ministers did not come to their senses, they still accepted the imperial edict.
Wu Xiao handed the imperial seal on the table to Wu Hanyu: "Hanyu, I hand over the country and people of Daxia to you."
"I will definitely live up to my mission." Wu Hanyu knelt down on his knees and took the imperial seal.
Wu Xiao attacked from the dragon throne and strode out of the hall without even looking back.
Wu Hanyu could feel the weight of the imperial seal in his hand: "My dear ministers, please stand up."
The newly appointed Minister of Rites asked, "Your Majesty, how should the enthronement be arranged?"
Wu Hanyu sat in the seat where Wu Xiao had sat before: "No need to make any arrangements, just send letters to notify all countries."
After he finished speaking, he looked at all the courtiers and said, "There will be no selection of concubines in the harem. I only have Queen Zhuoma."
All the ministers were shocked again, and some old ministers stood up in disapproval: "Your Majesty, there is only one queen, and the important task of raising an heir may be a bit difficult."
Wu Hanyu looked at the minister who was speaking and said, "I don't want any more palace fighting to happen. Whether there is an heir or not, I will hand over Daxia to someone who is trustworthy. Let's not discuss this matter anymore."
Xia Wanniang didn't expect Wu Hanyu to respond so toughly.
But this is quite surprising. Her royal brother seems to be more responsible than before.
Wu Hanyu looked towards where Xiao Chiye and the others were. Although he was reluctant to see them leave, he also knew that the place they were guarding was the most important place in Daxia.
"Duke Zhenguo, Princess Zhenguo and Lord Xu have been away from the northwest for a long time. It's time to return."
"I obey your order." The three of them stepped out in unison to receive the order.
After the court session, Xia Wanniang went to the harem and met Empress Zhuoma. Compared to herself, she was much more nervous: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."
Zhuoma quickly reached out to help her: "Princess Zhenguo, there is no need to be polite. I have been hearing His Majesty mention you until you are about to leave and then I can see you."
Xia Wanniang had a lot of things brought in: "These are my gifts to the Queen. From now on, you will be the only one accompanying His Majesty in the palace. I was afraid you would be bored, so I brought you some small things to pass the time."
Zhuoma's face was full of joy. She asked them to open everything and squatted aside to check the contents of the boxes.
Out of curiosity, she would ask a few questions, saying that she was the queen, but she looked more like the little sister next door.
Xia Wanniang had a very good impression of her and thought Wu Hanyu had good taste.
She also gave Zhuoma a beautiful white horse. There was a horse farm in the palace, so she could go riding when she was bored.
Zhuoma was as happy as a bird and no longer looked like a queen.
The maid behind her was so anxious that she could only keep reminding her.
Xia Wanniang looked at her and said, "Don't be so nervous. From now on, she will be the only master and mistress in this palace. It's her business how she wants to live. Don't restrict her."
Zhuoma looked at Xia Wanniang and said, "My dear sister, you are so kind."
Xia Wanniang: "You were originally a free bird, but now you have become a bird in this palace. I hope that even in this situation, you are still happy. When I see you again in the future, you will still be the same as you are now, without any change."
Zhuoma: "Is the emperor afraid that I have changed?"
Xia Wanniang: "Although there will be no one else here in the future, there are still many scheming people. Keep your heart and don't let those things blind your eyes. Believe in what you choose."
"I understand." Zhuoma knew that Xia Wanniang was afraid that she would fall into someone else's trap and become estranged from Wu Hanyu.
Xia Wanniang saw that it was getting late and said, "Zhuoma, see you next time." Then she gave her a hug.
Zhuoma hugged her happily and said, "Take care on your journey, sister. Remember to come back to the capital to see me."
Xia Wanniang let her go and saw that her eyes were slightly red. She raised her hand and scratched her nose: "You can write to me often, both good and bad."
After she finished speaking, she whistled, and a Saker Falcon flew to her arm: "This Saker Falcon is for you. It likes to eat dried fish. Remember to ask Hanyu for it."
