The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

The others were not as seriously injured as Xiao Se, but because Xiao Se took the elixir left by Mo Luyi, everyone recovered quickly. Soon, the emperor's decree summoning Xiao Se came from the palace.

Xiao Se came to Tai'an Hall and saw Emperor Mingde sitting on the dragon throne, with Hua Jin and Jin Xian standing beside him, and Mu Chunfeng standing below.

Xiao Se: "Meet the Emperor, Father."

Emperor Mingde put down the memorial in his hand and said, "You are here."

Xiao Se put down his hand, stood up, and looked at Emperor Mingde. Emperor Mingde said, "Just now, the little doctor told me that I have two choices. One is that I can live, and I can live for at least another year, but I will never leave my sickbed again, and I will never be lucid again. The other is that I can have a normal life again, ahem, but maybe, it will only last for three hours. Guess what I choose?"

Jinxian looked at Huajin and said, "Little Miraculous Doctor, how could you let His Majesty make such a choice?"

Emperor Mingde smiled and said, "Hey, don't blame her. This was my own choice. I forced the doctor Hua Jin to do it, huh? Hahahaha. Hua Jin, for saving me in this critical moment, I will reward you with 10,000 taels of gold, two rooms in the Tianqi Medicine House, and the title of Deputy Chief Physician of the Imperial Hospital. If you are not summoned, you do not have to enter Tianqi."

Hua Jin: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Mingde looked at Mu Chunfeng and said, "Mu Chunfeng, the third son of the Mu family in Qingzhou, has done me a great service in saving me. I will bestow upon you a cedar longboat, named the Spring Breeze, ok?"

Mu Chunfeng: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Mingde: "When I was young, I used to drink and chat with your father. Your father was very ambitious. He allowed you to come to Tianqi, not just to study medicine. What else did he want? A long ship is probably not enough, right?"

Then he looked at Xiao Se and said, "Is it enough to let your friend be the emperor?" Mu Chunfeng followed Emperor Mingde's gaze and looked at Xiao Se.

Xiao Se sensed their gazes and interrupted him, saying, "Father." Mu Chunfeng quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head.

Emperor Mingde looked him straight in the eye and asked, "Are you willing to be emperor?"

Xiao Se remained silent. Seeing this, Emperor Mingde smiled, then reminisced about the past and said, "Back then, the late emperor asked me the same question, and I answered like this: the emperor is chosen by heaven, not by man. Whether you want to or not is meaningless. It all depends on whether you are ready to shoulder the responsibilities of the world at that moment. My throne was not chosen by heaven. I snatched it with a knife that night. But what about you? You are the true chosen one. I heard that the Heaven-Slaying Sword has appeared. So, do you want to show it to everyone?"

Emperor Mingde picked up the Dragon Seal Scroll beside him and a voice seemed to flash through Xiao Se's mind at this moment - if you don't know whether you want to be the emperor or not, go sit in that position, and then your current thoughts will be your true thoughts.

So he looked up at Emperor Mingde and said, "Father, I haven't answered your question yet."

Emperor Mingde Muran looked up at him. He held back a cough and said, "I am not dead yet. I... am still the emperor of the world. You don't need to answer any decision I make. Ahem." Then he lowered his head and looked at the scroll in his hand.

Xiao Se: "But if I'm not satisfied with the name on it, I will tear it up."

Emperor Mingde raised his head and looked at him seriously, trying hard to endure the discomfort in his body and said, "Then the world will be in chaos. You don't want to see chaos, and neither do I." Then he handed the scroll to Jinxian who was standing beside him.

Jin Xian went down and presented the scroll to Xiao Se. Xiao Se took it with one hand, then opened the scroll and saw the name on it - Second Prince Xiao Chong.

Emperor Mingde looked at him seriously and asked, "Are you satisfied with the name above?"

Xiao Se didn't say anything, but looked up at him. Emperor Mingde smiled and handed another sealed scroll to Jin Xian, saying, "Jin Xian, keep this. Don't open it. It will be handed over to the Imperial Observatory for safekeeping later."

Jinxian: "Yes."

Emperor Mingde: "Everyone go down, Chu He, you stay for a moment."

After everyone left, Emperor Mingde patted the seat next to him and Xiao Se went up to sit with him. Emperor Mingde patted him, held his hand and patted it, then recalled Xiao Se's childhood with him.

After talking for a while, Xiao Se was allowed to leave. However, just after Xiao Se took a few steps, he seemed to notice something. Looking back, he saw Emperor Mingde's head hanging down. Xiao Se loosened his grip, and the Dragon Seal Scroll fell, but he seemed unconscious. He just looked at the emperor, his father, and whispered hoarsely and incredulously, "Father."

But Emperor Mingde did not move. He shouted again, "Father." He looked at the person above him in disbelief, but no matter how he looked at him, he looked like he was dead. Tears unconsciously flowed from his eyes, and then he knelt down, his eyes full of sadness, and kowtowed.

But at this time Nan Jue knew that Beili was in a period of regime change, so he launched a war, and Xiao Se and Xiao Lingchen led the army to set off.

Xiao Lingchen sat on his horse, looking at Xiao Se beside him and said, "The Langya Army has assembled. It's time for us to set off."

Xiao Yueli: "Xiao Se, a large number of troops from both the upper and lower armies have arrived outside Tianqi City, and Miss Ye has gone to meet them."

Xiao Chong: "You shouldn't leave. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. You should ascend the throne immediately. As for the battlefield, my uncle, the emperor's uncle, and the seventh brother can all go."

Xiao Yu: "I can't do that. I have to go find my master."

Xiao Se rolled his eyes at him and looked at Xiao Chong: "Should I ascend the throne?"

Xiao Chong: "You are the chosen one. That sword can only be used by the founding emperor. It chose you."

Xiao Se: "Since my second brother has said that I am the chosen one, then I should be the one guarding the Beili national gate."

Mu Chunfeng: "Brother Xiao, what you said is very good. It should be so."

Xiao Se: "Brother Mu and the little genius doctor are about to leave Tianqi, right?"

Hua Jin: "We will leave tomorrow."

Xiao Se: "Thank you both for your hard work during this period."

Xiao Lingchen: "You two are acting like this now, and I seem a bit redundant. A man as charming and charming as me, isn't it worth your trying to keep me here or even just letting me go?"

But everyone just glanced at him without saying anything. Seeing this, Xiao Lingchen spread his hands and said, "Tsk."

Sikong Qianluo: "Xiao Se, you really won't take us with you?"

Xiao Se glanced at Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo, and Tang Lian, then turned around and said, "Killing enemies on the battlefield and wandering the martial arts world are two different things. Just wait for me here. I will definitely return victorious."

Tang Lian also looked at Xiao Se: "Xiao Se, if you need anything, please tell us at any time."

Then he looked at Sikong Qianluo: "Qianluo, we must believe in Xiao Se."
