"Can a living person die from holding their urine? Everyone is dead, and you are the only one left. Are you not allowed to be emperor just because you don't have the imperial seal?"

"And if there isn't one, we can just make a new one."

"Just say you want to make one just for you, isn't that enough?"

Qin Haowen finally made up his mind and nodded.

Then the death knell sounded!

Concubine Yao and the Second Prince poisoned the Emperor and threatened to pass the throne to them. This sinister plot reached the Emperor's adopted son, Qin Jing, who entered the palace alone to rescue them, but fell into a trap and was brutally murdered by Concubine Yao and the Second Prince! Upon hearing the news, the First Prince, along with General Shen, led a thousand-mile rescue operation.

But unexpectedly, Concubine Yao and the Second Prince were so cruel and brutal that they tortured the Emperor to the point of near death. Before escaping, Concubine Yao even stabbed the Emperor. When the First Prince passed away, the Emperor had just enough time to verbally pass the throne to him. The First Prince, now the Emperor, was filled with grief and anger. He personally captured the murderer of his father and beheaded him, ultimately avenging the Emperor...

The news spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto within half a day, and even to the neighboring cities. Furthermore, the news continued to spread, and within a few days, the entire country would probably know about the new emperor's ascension to the throne!

Yu Ruyue came to the palace again and looked at Qin Haowen, who was sitting on the dragon throne wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and looked very majestic. She felt as if she was in another world.

She quickly knelt down and kowtowed, but before her head touched the ground, she was helped up by a pair of warm big hands.

"Ruyue! I told you that you are the benefactor of my mother and me. If it weren't for you, I can't imagine how much inhuman abuse my mother would have endured. And I, too, was able to bravely embark on this journey because of you."

"You will never have to perform the rituals of a king and his subjects in front of me."

Yu Ruyue smiled and said, "Since you've said so, I won't be polite. But, Your Majesty, why did you call me here this time?"

"Why are you being so mysterious?"

Qin Haowen smiled and said, "I have something I want to ask you for help with, and I don't want anyone to know, so I can only call you over quietly."

"Brother Shen, are you jealous again?"

Yu Ruyue smiled and shook her head. "He's a kindhearted person. How could he be jealous over such a small matter? But how can I help you? Aside from occasionally getting some miraculous elixirs, I really don't have any other abilities. That so-called ability to control the wind and rain was all just a trick to fool your father."

Qin Haowen looked at her nervous expression and smiled gently, "Don't worry! I was right in front of you when you were calling the wind and rain. You even told me the principle later. How could I force you to communicate with the heavens like my father did?"

"But this matter really belongs to you. Can you promise me first?"

Yu Ruyue nodded hesitantly, "Yes! As long as I can do it, as long as you don't kill me."

Qin Haowen laughed heartily, "Ruyue! Why would I want your life? I just want you to live well, be happy, and live a long life."

"If you have any concerns, you can tell me. By the way, I've already submitted all the recipes for making poison gas bombs and bombs that you gave me to the Ministry of Industry! I'll need you to teach them when the time comes!"

Yu Ruyue heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought it was something else. It's just a small matter, so it's easy to talk about."

Qin Haowen shook his head again, "It's not about this!"

He said, motioning Yu Ruyue to the desk and handing her a pen. "Three years ago, your handwriting was like a ghost's scribbles. I wonder if your handwriting has improved after three years? How about writing my name?"

Yu Ruyue's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and she felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten shit.

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it nicely. Why do you make me write when we disagree? Is that right? How have I offended you? I will definitely make amends, okay?"

Qin Haowen smiled helplessly, "Is it so difficult for you to write my name?"

Yu Ruyue quickly shook her head and picked up the pen, saying, "Write it! You asked me to write it anyway. If it's not good, you can't laugh at me or punish me."

Qin Haowen looked at Yu Ruyue with a gentle gaze, full of doting, "Don't worry! I will never punish you in my lifetime."

When Yu Ruyue heard this promise, she immediately wrote the three big words "Qin Haowen" in a flamboyant style on a piece of white rice paper.

Although it is not as ugly as it was at the beginning, it is definitely not good-looking.

"Look at this! I've practiced for so long, and this is all I can write. Don't laugh at me."

Qin Haowen looked at the words, feeling a secret sweetness in his heart. His sweetheart had written his name...

"Beautiful, beautiful! I'm going to frame this calligraphy and put it in my study so I can look at it every day."

Yu Ruyue held her forehead helplessly, "Please stop insulting me. Your study is always crowded. It would be embarrassing if everyone saw it. It would ruin my reputation."

"Tell me now! What's going on? If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."

Qin Haowen quickly grabbed her sleeve and said, "Okay, okay! Don't go! I'm telling you!"

Yu Ruyue gently broke free from Qin Haowen's hand, "So? What exactly happened?"

Qin Haowen first picked up the rice paper with the three words "Qin Haowen" written on it and shook it in the air, then blew dry the ink on it, and finally rolled it up carefully and put it aside.

Then, he took out a palm-sized, square piece of Hetian jade. The jade was of excellent quality, crystal clear...

"Qin Guan died. I had my men search the entire palace, but couldn't find the jade seal. So I thought about carving a new one, but! I've been wondering whose handwriting to use?"

"After much reflection, I realize you played a very important role in this battle, so I've thought of having you write these eight words: 'Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper!' Then I'll engrave them on this jade seal in your handwriting."

Yu Ruyue pointed at herself in disbelief, somewhat doubting her ears.

"No! Who are you talking about? Me? Are you sure?"

"My words are engraved on the jade seal?"

"Look at my dog-like handwriting. No, even a dog's handwriting is clearer than mine. Are you sure? You want to entrust such an important matter to me?"

"You must know that this represents your reputation. From now on, no matter what imperial edict you write, you must stamp it with this jade seal!"

"You even want to pass this jade seal to your descendants. My handwriting is really bad." Yu Ruyue was very embarrassed.

Qin Haowen looked at Yu Ruyue with a determined gaze. "I'm absolutely certain, and I only want you to write it, because you deserve it! You deserve half the credit for my throne!"
