The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"Why do you want to give up the throne to me?"

Long Sui’s premonition turned out to be correct, otherwise, with the little emperor’s temperament, how could he make such an important decision.

"Does Xie Yue know you're going to do this?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this myself."

His brows furrowed even tighter, and looking at the little emperor who only showed some emotion when he mentioned Xie Yue, Long Sui pursed his lips into a straight line.

"Did you have a fight with Xie Yue?"

Lu Shi remained silent.

Long Sui felt that he guessed right.

"What's the big deal about quarreling? Every couple quarrels. We quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed."

"He's a regent, but he's willing to marry you and become your queen. How much love does that have to mean? Just let him do what he wants."

"Yeah." Lu Shi responded softly.

Long Sui seemed to be interested in being a military advisor and began to give Lu Shi advice.

"I say, when the time comes, just use something he likes to coax him, and be more humble. If coaxing doesn't work, go up and hug him and kiss him."

"If that doesn't work, then try the self-torture trick. Give yourself a small cut and let some blood fall. That will definitely work then."

"Hey, little emperor, if you can't bring yourself to do it, I can help you!"

Long Sui walked up to Lu Shi and put his arm around his shoulders, looking like good brothers.

Lu Shi finally revealed a genuine smile, "Thank you."

Seeing that the person finally smiled, Long Sui breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her careful efforts to make him happy were worth it.

"Now that the matter between you and Xie Yue has been resolved, shouldn't we take back this abdication edict?"

Long Sui stuffed the imperial edict into Lu Shi's arms and said, "How can you give away something like this so easily? Put it away quickly, or I will really get greedy and not give it back to you."

Lu Shi dodged with a flick of his sleeve and took a step back slightly.

The outstretched hand froze, and Long Sui's pupils constricted. "What are you doing?"

Lu Shi smiled, "You are not joking."

"I gave it to you, so it's yours."

Long Sui couldn't bear it anymore, so he threw the imperial edict aside, his voice a little impatient.

"What's going on? Didn't we already agree that you should just go and coax him? Even if we quarrel, there's no need to even give up your role as emperor."

"Tell me, what happened?"

Lu Shi smiled and said, "I'm sick. The imperial physician said I can't be saved. Maybe I can live one or two days?"

"I don't know, but I'm going to die anyway."

"So of course we have to find a reliable person to inherit the throne. You are quite suitable."

Those few light words were like bullets shot out of a gun, piercing Long Sui's heart and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"I'm sick...how?"

She murmured, "Is there no hope?"

"How could it be so sudden?"

"I don't know," Lu Shi seemed unconcerned, even in the mood to tease himself, "Maybe I've done too many bad things."

"Does Xie Yue know?"

They probably don’t know, otherwise why would they be arguing?

"Whether he knows or doesn't know, it won't change anything."

He might even be happy, after all, he is now thinking about getting his retribution.

As Lu Shi was thinking about it, he suddenly laughed out loud.

"I'm going back first. You think about it carefully."

"If you really don't want to be the emperor, then please help me find a more powerful one to take the throne."

"You..." Long Sui clenched his fists and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Before birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone is helpless, so it is useless even if she has a system.

Her system cannot cure diseases or save lives.

However, she really regarded Lu Shi and Xie Yue as friends.

In this world with strict rules, Lu Shi and Xie Yue are in high positions, but they have no complaints about her breaking the rules, and they even provide her with a platform to show her talents.

This would be impossible for any other emperor or regent.

That's why she was willing to work under them and regarded them as true friends.

But...why did you get sick?

How come there are only one or two days left...

"Long Sui, this is all I wish for. Please help me."

There was a hint of humor in Lu Shi's words, as if the little emperor from before had returned.

But Long Sui knew that the little emperor might never come back.

The voice from the back of his throat was choked with sobs, "I understand."

"But with such a short time, are you still going to waste it arguing with Xie Yue?"

"You're not going to tell him?"

"It's getting late. You must have been tired from the journey. Go to bed early. I'll go back to the palace first." Lu Shi turned a deaf ear to Long Sui's words and walked out without waiting for Long Sui to try to stop him.

But after a while, her back disappeared.

Long Sui stood there blankly, at a loss as to what to do.

So, is the CP she is supporting a BE?

Even before dying, does a person have to harbor misunderstandings about another person?

Xie Yue loved Lu Shi so much, if he knew that he had quarreled with her before she died, he would go crazy...

No, we are all going to die, there is no misunderstanding that can’t be resolved!

She was going to find Xie Yue.

Since Lu Shi didn't say anything, she would say it.

She will take care of this trivial matter.

……

On the way back to the palace, I inevitably passed by the Regent's Palace.

Lu Shi looked at the plaque of the mansion and stopped for some reason, standing in front of the door in a daze.

Seeing this, the guard at the door stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please go back. The prince has ordered: From now on, Your Majesty is not allowed to enter!"

The guard's persuasion brought Lu Shi back to his senses after running away from home. After hearing his words, he just smiled helplessly.

Here we go again.

Every time she made Xie Yue angry, he would run back to the palace and order the guards at the door not to let her in.

She didn't know how many times she had heard this.

She didn't take it seriously before, as she always found a way to get into the palace.

She had used tactics like throwing tantrums and crying many times, including pestering the guards and the time when she borrowed a ladder to secretly climb over the wall.

But this time, she didn't plan to go in.

Lu Shi smiled at the guard and started walking again.

The guards had already prepared a plan in their minds when Xie Yue gave the order, to deal with His Majesty's persistent harassment. After all, this was the process in the past.

The prince was angry and ordered them not to let His Majesty into the palace.

But His Majesty refused and made a big fuss, and then they would be "forced" to report to the prince.

The prince would also "take into account" the face of the royal family and the royal palace, and "reluctantly" let Your Majesty in.

The guard had already thought of an excuse, but this time he could only watch Lu Shi leave without hesitation.

It feels so unreal.

He hasn't even started to perform yet, why did His Majesty leave?

……

After returning to Weiyang Palace, Lu Shi fell exhaustedly on the bed, closed his eyes and remained silent.

The system hiding in the system space appeared, looked at Lu Shi and asked in confusion: "Host, why did you lie to Long Sui and say that you had a terminal illness?"

Lu Shi opened his eyes and looked at her expression as if she was a fool. "If you didn't tell me I had a terminal illness, then why did I die suddenly?"

"Besides, my terminal illness just happened to arouse her sympathy, so the probability of her agreeing to inherit the throne would be even greater."

"It's just something that comes to mind."

If you can achieve your goal by telling a lie, why not do it?

"If you have nothing to do, go back to the space or Cheng Huan Palace. I'm going to sleep for a day and a night, then send Xie Yue home and go to the next world."

The system wanted to say something, but Lu Shi had already closed his eyes, his face looked tired, and even his brows were furrowed.

Forget it, what else can I say? The red rope is broken.

The system lowered its eyes and turned back to the system space.
