The BE of the anime turned into a HE

"What..." Xiao Se and Wu Xin looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

But Xiao Se subconsciously protected Wu Xin behind him, with a firm look in his eyes, "Father, I am serious."

He looked straight at Emperor Mingde without any retreat.

"I know, Chu He! I'm very happy that you can find someone you like." Emperor Mingde smiled. His smile was filled with some relief and some complicated emotions.

Xiao Se looked at Emperor Mingde uncertainly, "Father, you really don't mind me and Wuxin."

His voice trembled slightly. After all, this feeling was not ordinary in the eyes of the world.

Emperor Mingde walked to the side and sat down, his eyes becoming deep and distant, "Chu He, I saw you two share life and death in front of the Pingqing Palace last time, and I knew it then."

He recalled the thrilling scene where Xiao Se and Wu Xin fought side by side and protected each other, which moved him deeply.

She shook her head gently, her eyes full of doting on her son. "Although it may be hard to accept at first, as long as you like it, it's better than anything else."

"Besides, with your personality, I'm afraid no girl would be willing to coax you for the rest of your life."

Xiao Se's face flashed with embarrassment when he heard this, "Father, what are you talking about!"

"I'm willing to coax him all my life." Wu Xin looked at Xiao Se, his tone serious and sincere. His eyes were full of affection, as if Xiao Se was the only person in the world.

Emperor Mingde smiled and looked at Wuxin, "Good boy, I believe in you."

He paused, then continued, "I was young once, and I know the value of love. You two can find each other in this troubled world and treat each other sincerely. How can I not help you?"

When Xiao Se and Wu Xin heard what Emperor Mingde said, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell.

Emperor Mingde said slowly: "I am going to die."

Although Xiao Se had expected this, when he actually heard it, he couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, and even his voice was shaking.

"Father, please stop joking."

"I'm serious." Mingde suddenly stood up, his eyes full of relief, "Instead of sleeping on a sickbed, it's better to live well for three days."

"Besides, I've lived enough and want to go find him."

Xiao Se pursed his lips tightly with a complicated expression. In the past, he and his father were angry with each other because of the matter of Uncle Langya, and now the truth has come out.

He still hasn't gotten over the knot in his heart from that year. Now, watching his father about to leave, he suddenly felt bitter in his heart.

"Father."

Emperor Mingde patted Xiao Se on the shoulder and said, "Chu He, death is a relief for me. I know you don't want to be bound."

"So I respect your decision. You can choose the next emperor yourself! The Dragon Sealing Scroll is in your hands, and I have also drafted an imperial decree granting marriage."

"If you want to get married, it's legitimate. If not, just forget it! Life in the martial arts world is pretty good too."

Xiao Se understood what Emperor Mingde meant, but his heart was filled with reluctance and sadness, "Father, there must be other ways, no..."

Emperor Mingde interrupted Xiao Se with a smile, "Chu He, go out! I'm tired."

Xiao Se wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. Finally, he sighed and left with Wu Xin.

Three days later, Emperor Mingde passed away and the national mourning began.

The entire city of Tianqi was covered in white, but everyone had a question in their mind: who is the new emperor?

Jin Xuan looked at the Dragon Sealing Scroll in his hand, thinking, "His Majesty said that my copy should not be opened, and the world should know that only His Highness' copy can be published."

"I understand." Xiao Se said lightly.

Xiao Se, dressed in white, walked through the hall and slowly towards the throne. Lan Yuehou and Xiao Chong stood on both sides waiting.

All the civil and military officials said respectfully, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Yong'an."

Xiao Se took a look and said, "Kneel down first! I have something important to announce."

So everyone knew what was going on and knelt straighter.

He walked to the throne and stroked the lines on it, "What's so good about this position?"

"You'll know once you sit down." Xiao Se smiled with relief.

Xiao Se sat down on it.

Although everyone was surprised, no one dared to say anything and buried their heads even lower.

But Xiao Se quickly stood up and shrugged indifferently, "Boring."

Then he handed the Dragon Sealing Scroll in his sleeve to Lan Yuehou, "Uncle, you read it!"

Lan Yuehou took the scroll and was stunned when he opened it.

Seeing this, Xiao Se hurriedly urged, "Read quickly."

Marquis Lan Yue glanced at Xiao Se and said in a loud voice: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The Second Prince Xiao Chong is kind and tolerant, virtuous and benevolent, and has both moral integrity and talent, and his character is precious."

"He will surely carry out my will and take the throne. I hope he will work hard and love the people, uphold benevolence, and work hard to govern the country, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will be forever stable."

"Appreciate this!"

All the civil and military officials were shocked. If the throne was passed to the second prince, Xiao Chong, then Prince Yong'an and Prince Langya would have to destroy Tianqi.

No one dared to speak, and some even began to tremble.

"How bold." Xiao Se shouted angrily.

All the officials were horrified.

Xiao Se shouted angrily, "Hurry up and kowtow to the new emperor."

The civil and military officials did not dare to neglect and shouted loudly: "Greetings to the new emperor, long live the new emperor."

"See the new emperor, long live the new emperor."

"See the new emperor, long live the new emperor."

Xiao Se turned to Xiao Chong and smiled, "Second brother, I will trouble you in the future. I will go back to take care of my princess first."

Xiao Chong glanced at Xiao Se and knew that the princess he was talking about was unintentional. He had seen the edict drafted by his father before and sighed.

"You don't have to do this, and I don't want to."

"Second brother, you just have to bear with the hard work. The sooner we find a queen, the more we can train the next emperor." Xiao Se did not give Xiao Chong a chance to refuse. He left after saying this.

"Queen." Xiao Chong murmured softly, and couldn't help but think of Shao Han's face, and then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Marquis Lan Yue looked at the two people making excuses and was speechless. Others tried their best to get it, but in the end, the throne seemed worthless to them.

In the imperial mausoleum a few days later.

Xiao Se's expression was solemn yet gentle, "Mother, I have found someone to accompany me for life. I am no longer alone."

Wuxin stood aside, listening quietly to Xiao Se's words, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. He raised his head slightly, looked up at the sky, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

It has not been easy for him and Xiao Se along the way, but now everything is finally over.

Wu Xin put his hands together and bowed deeply to the tombstone, his movements slow and pious, "My queen, don't worry, I will accompany Xiao Se for the rest of my life and never leave him."

Standing up, he turned his head to look at Xiao Se, his eyes firm and gentle. He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Xiao Se's shoulder, smiling gently.

One month after the national mourning, Xiao Chong officially ascended the throne as emperor and named the country Chonghe.
