Good heavens! The Supreme God is being relentlessly harassed!

After Zuo Zhilin's death, the downfall of the Zuo family was inevitable.

What followed was a thorough purge of the court, and selecting virtuous and capable officials was the most urgent task for the Yun Kingdom.

In the year that Yun Qi had just come to power, the relatives of the empress were eliminated, and many talented people were selected through the imperial examination.

The chief examiners for the imperial examinations were Shen Wangchuan's brothers, Shen Lichuan and Shen Fuchuan, since the imperial examinations in Yun Kingdom were divided into civil and military examinations.

Of course, there were other ministers assisting him, and in general, the selected people injected fresh blood into the court.

As the court convened once again, Yun Qi couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions upon seeing so many new faces in the court.

The beginning is always the hardest. Now that he has taken the most difficult step, he should work hard to govern the country and the people like his uncle, and be a good emperor who is diligent in his duties and loves his people.

At this moment, Xie Liuyan was not in the court. When Zuo Zhilin committed suicide by hitting his head against a pillar, a system notification sounded in his mind:

"Beep, the ancient world mission is complete, the timeline is clear, the great traitor is dead, you can leave the world."

"Shall we disengage?"

0526 is also waiting for the Lord God's choice. Although the Lord God was somewhat moved in the last world, he still left without saying goodbye.

Will this world also...?

Xie Liuyan looked at the person who had been watching him since earlier. Since he had made a promise to this person to spend his whole life with him, he would definitely keep his promise.

Xie Liuyan simply assumed it was because he couldn't stand someone causing a ruckus because of his departure from the world, but he didn't think about the deeper reasons.

"No need to leave, I'll stay in this plane for a while longer."

Shen Wangchuan only thought that his Ah Yan was responding to his gaze, but he didn't know the choice Xie Liuyan had made.

Now that the Yun Kingdom's court is settled and the world is at peace, he can finally be a parasite without any burden.

The words I spoke on the journey to find the miracle doctor are now being fulfilled.

He excitedly got out of bed early in the morning, ready to take Xie Liuyan to meet his parents.

To my shame, he had led people to the Shen residence when their relationship was still unclear, but it was for something else entirely at the time.

Instead of having a proper meal with her family and explaining her feelings for Xie Liuyan.

Now that he and Ayan have gone through so much, I guess when they get to the Shen family, their parents won't make things too difficult for them.

Xie Liuyan was a light sleeper, and his movements when he got up were so large that he was naturally woken up.

Xie Liuyan had always considered himself not a sleepy person, but when he was relieved of his burdens, no longer had to worry about state affairs, and no longer had to deal with people every day, and could sleep peacefully until dawn, he realized that his usual life was truly unbearable.

No wonder Shen Wangchuan, who used to sleep until noon, became someone who got into and out of bed with me at the same time every day, was full of resentment.

His eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

Unexpectedly, when Xie Liuyan opened his eyes, he saw Shen Wangchuan's big face, and his eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Shen Wangchuan had just gotten out of bed when he noticed that his beloved Xie Liuyan was about to wake up. He moved closer to Xie Liuyan's face from the opposite direction. No matter how many times he looked at him, he felt that Xie Liuyan was the apple of his eye, and he liked him more and more the more he looked at him.

Seeing Xie Liuyan's surprised expression, he grinned, showing off his white teeth, and said, "Good morning, Liuyan."

Xie Liuyan couldn't understand why the other person had so much energy. He pushed the other person away, sat up, and only then did he feel much more clear-headed.

Shen Wangchuan didn't seem to mind being pushed away, and then said to Xie Liuyan:

"Ayan, get up quickly. We're going to the Shen residence in a bit to introduce you to my parents."

Xie Liuyan raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask why. His last visit to the Shen residence was indeed rushed; he should have made a proper trip.

But speaking of which, "Is your back pain gone? You were so energetic this morning!"

Speaking of this, after the palace turmoil ended a couple of days ago, Xie Liuyan completely relaxed and stopped attending court.

Since Shen Wangchuan didn't need to attend court, the two of them staying together in the mansion inevitably sparked a romance.

The last time was in Medicine King Valley. At that time, Xie Liuyan's leg was not yet healed, so he was very restrained.

Shen Wangchuan was eager to try, thinking that since Ayan's leg was healed, he could give it a shot.

That night, he deliberately stirred things up, thinking it would be similar to the last time, but he didn't expect that Xie Liuyan, who had fully recovered, was someone he couldn't handle.

After a few rounds, even this martial artist couldn't take it. In the end, he kept begging for mercy, saying his back ached and he wanted to fight another day.

As a result, he was still full of energy when he woke up in the morning.

Shen Wangchuan's eyes darted around. "Hehe, Ayan, you know me. I really couldn't do it back then."

Xie Liuyan smiled but said nothing more.

After the two finished getting ready, Xie Liuyan asked Shen Wangchuan to wait in the carriage, as he had some other things to attend to.

Bored in the carriage, Shen Wangchuan picked up a book he used to read to pass the time and started reading it.

A moment later, the carriage lurched. He thought it was Ayan who had arrived, so he lifted the partition to look and saw that it was Xie Yi.

"Xie Yi, long time no see! I didn't expect you to be driving again today!"

Xie nodded. "The prince is currently taking inventory of the storerooms and will be there soon."

Inventorying the warehouse? Shen Wangchuan was a little puzzled. After a while, Xie Liuyan arrived.

As soon as he arrived, Xie Yi drove towards the Shen family's location.

Xie Liuyan remained silent throughout the journey. Shen Wangchuan, seeing him resting with his eyes closed, assumed that he hadn't slept well because of the disturbance he had caused that morning.

Little did they know that Xie Liuyan was thinking about how to talk to Shen Wangchuan's parents when they met later, even though he was probably of higher status.

However, anyone involved with Shen Wangchuan is someone Xie Liuyan needs to treat with caution.

Today, he came to the Shen residence not as the regent, but as Shen Wangchuan's life partner.

Shen Qingcheng didn't expect this kid to come again with Xie Liuyan without saying a word. It's his own home, but every time he comes, it feels like he's sneaking into someone else's house.

He had just figured out how to explain his son's relationship with Xie Liuyan to Xu Suiyuan, so he sent the letter on a carrier pigeon's leg, hoping that the other party would see it later.

As soon as he came out of the study, a servant announced: "Master, the Third Young Master has brought the Regent Prince. They are currently in the main hall, and Madam is entertaining them."

Shen Qingcheng was puzzled, but more so pleased, that this kid still knew to return to the Shen residence.

He called him a brat, but in his heart he still hoped that Shen Wangchuan would come to the Shen residence more often. Now that everything was resolved, the kid should be back.

Shen Qingcheng hurried into the lobby, where Zhao Wanrou sat down beside Shen Wangchuan, offering words of comfort and concern.

"Wangchuan, now that the matters in the court have been resolved, when are you going to move back in?"

This was also the question Shen Qingcheng wanted to ask. He stopped in his tracks, but heard Shen Wangchuan reply with some difficulty: "Mother, I may not move back anytime soon. Let's see how it goes in a while."

Shen Qingcheng strode into the lobby, his beard bristling and eyes wide: "What? Isn't the Shen residence your home? Why are you acting like a guest now?"

Shen Wangchuan replied with amusement, "No, Father, Mother, I came to tell you something."

"I want to go to Jiangnan with Ayan for a while, and then come back to the capital after some time."

"you?"

"Yes, I'm sure you two have already figured it out. I like Ayan, and we're already together. My son is very happy with him, and he's no longer the good-for-nothing playboy he used to be."

Xie Liuyan stood up and looked at the two elders with a firm gaze: "Minister Shen, and Madam, I have always felt that I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders and have never dared to slack off for even a second."

"But later, I met Wang Chuan, and his appearance brought vibrant colors to my bland and tasteless life."

“I am very grateful to you for raising such a son. Today I have brought a lot of betrothal gifts, all of which are parked outside the Shen residence. I hope you will allow me to go to Jiangnan with him.”

Dowry? Shen Wangchuan was a little surprised, not expecting that Ayan had been busy with this matter earlier.

Before Shen Qingcheng could say anything, Shen Wangchuan was already moved:

“Father, Ayan has already brought the betrothal gifts, so you and Mother shouldn’t object.”

Oppose? Shen Qingcheng hadn't said a word yet, and helplessly looked at his son who was practically giving him away, saying:

“Your mother and I did know a long time ago, and we will no longer object. We only hope one thing: that you can be loyal to each other and withstand the pressure from society after you have a partner.”

The two nodded together and said, "We will!"

The two then went to Jiangnan, bought a house, and lived a life of blissful bliss.

But life isn't just about romance; it also involves countless daily chores and the mundane realities of life. When the two first arrived, they didn't bring any servants, and they had to take care of everything themselves.

Shen Wangchuan chuckled and teased, "Ayan, do you think we can be considered an ordinary couple in this world?"

Xie Liuyan looked at his blackened nose and chuckled softly, "It has been for a long time."

After a while, more and more letters came from the capital. In addition to the Shen family urging Shen Wangchuan to return as soon as possible, Yun Qi also hoped that his royal uncle could go back and teach him some more about the ways of being a ruler.

They said they would live in seclusion in Jiangnan together, but they still couldn't get away from it.

The two embarked on their journey back to Beijing, traveling leisurely while sightseeing, stopping wherever they happened to be.

Shen Wangchuan drove the car, with Xie Liuyan sitting beside him.

No matter how beautiful the scenery ahead was, it couldn't compare to the slightest thing about the person beside him. He was driving the carriage, yet he still had time to be distracted:

"Ayan, have I ever told you—I love you?"

Xie Liuyan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and replied, "Now that we have it, drive carefully. There's still a long road ahead, we can talk about it later."

Shen Wangchuan laughed heartily. His beloved was right beside him, and their future was still long.
