The days have passed in a flash, and it has come to the eve of Zhong Xuanlan's succession.

Zhong Tinghao sat in the flower hall and asked, "Have you really thought about it?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded, "That position has never been what I wanted. "In the past, Wang Xuannian gave up so much in order to catch up with her, and now she should give up something to find him.

Zhong Tinghao took out the tiger talisman and handed it to Zhong Xuanlan, and said, "I originally wanted to see you leave here after succeeding to the throne, but now who should I give the military power in my hands?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan took the tiger talisman and said, "I'll deal with it!" Zhong Xuanlan knew what Zhong Tinghao was worried about, the existence of this army proved the strength of the Zhong family, and whoever succeeded to the throne would be afraid of the existence of the Zhong family.

But she felt that the hard work and ambition of the two generations of the Zhong family head should be over, and it was time for them to be a real merchant!

Zhong Tinghao nodded reassuringly, "I'm going to find your brother, where are you going?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan looked at the night outside, hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Go find Xuan Nian." ”

"Daughter, he's ......"

"No," Zhong Xuanlan said, "He must still be alive, didn't you see those strange soldiers?" ”

Although Zhong Tinghao really wanted Wang Xuannian to live, he ...... He didn't want Zhong Xuanlan to keep looking for Wang Xuannian with an illusory hope.

"Those strange soldiers are led by priests."

Zhong Xuanlan shook his head in disbelief, "Dad, Xuan Nian must be waiting for me somewhere, I will definitely find him." ”

Zhong Tinghao sighed helplessly, was it right for him to choose a son-in-law on the street in the first place?

"You go to your son-in-law, what about the two children in the family?"

Zhong Xuanlan was silent.

Zhong Tinghao said: "Do you want them to be like you, who have lost the love of their parents since childhood?" When he asked this, Zhong Tinghao felt a faint pain in his heart, he had missed the growth of Zhong Xuanlan and Zhong Xuanli, and he didn't want Zhong Xuanlan to miss the growth of the two children.

Zhong Xuanlan raised her eyes to look at Zhong Tinghao, and found that he had gray hair on his temples, it turned out that before she knew it, her father was slowly getting old.

"Dad, I never blamed you, it's just that I think it's a little ridiculous to be used as a pawn by people who admire you!"

Zhong Tinghao opened his mouth to explain, but he couldn't say the words that came to his mouth, and finally looked at her silently.

Zhong Xuanlan continued: "Dad, thank you for doing so much for me, if I didn't like Wang Xuannian, maybe I would like this gift you gave me, however, now I feel that if I choose this gift, I will lose Wang Xuannian forever, so I'm sorry, your gift is very good, but I can't accept it." ”

Zhong Tinghao smiled and nodded.

Zhong Xuanlan said again: "I will take the children to find him back, Dad, Xuanli will leave it to you, we will meet in Blue Ocean City." ”

Zhong Tinghao asked, "Are you ready to live in Blue Ocean City?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded, "There will be a new beginning for our Zhong family." ”

The Zhong family, which has experienced the war, has been completely displayed in front of everyone, and the once strong Zhong family now only has an army, an ocean-going ship, and the position that is about to be abandoned, and nothing else.

"Just think clearly, I'll go to you when I find Xuanli, you must remember to go home."

Zhong Xuanlan smiled and said, "Well, let's go home together!" ”

At this time, Chun Zhi stood at the door and reported: "Master, master, the guest has arrived." ”

Zhong Xuanlan asked, "Dad, when are you leaving?" ”

"Tomorrow morning."

Zhong Tinghao said: "You go to see the guest, I'll go see my grandson." ”

……

In the living room, Shangguan Shaoyang was drinking tea, but his eyes looked out, when he saw Zhong Xuanlan, the complicated emotions in his heart had been put down, and at this moment, he had a decision, that is, to guard the border for her.

Zhong Xuanlan sat on the main seat and said, "You are back, I thought you would hate me and no longer appear." ”

Shangguan Shaoyang put down the teacup and said, "I hesitated, but the moment I chose to stand by and watch, I made a decision." ”

"I remember that you once told me that you want the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, but I don't know ...... today."

Shangguan Shaoyang looked at Zhong Xuanlan in surprise, this is what he said when he was ten years old, but he didn't expect her to remember it to this day, "I will still remember this sentence now and in the future." "I'm not going to take anything from you.

"Spring solstice, bring things in." After Zhong Xuanlan ordered the spring solstice, he saw her walking in with the jade seal, Zhong Xuanlan got up and took the jade seal and put it in front of Shangguan Shaoyang.

"I'm sure you'll be a Mingjun."

Shangguan Shaoyang stared at Zhong Xuanlan, as smart as him, at this moment, he wanted to be not so smart, but no matter how he escaped, this jade seal proved her words.

"Are you going to give up all this for Wang Xuannian?" He used to think that he knew Zhong Xuanlan very well, but now he doesn't understand it a little.

Zhong Xuanlan said: "I didn't give up everything for him, I just didn't like it, in that place, it would remind me of my mother." I think you're the best fit for that position. ”

Seeing that Shangguan Shaoyang never took the jade seal, Zhong Xuanlan put the jade seal in Shangguan Shaoyang's hand, and said, "Since you have accepted the jade seal, then you are doing me two favors!" ”

Shangguan Shaoyang wanted to return the jade seal to Zhong Xuanlan, but was pushed back by Zhong Xuanlan.

Zhong Xuanlan took out a tiger talisman from his sleeve and put it in Shangguan Shaoyang's hand, "This is my Zhong family's army, and now my Zhong family is no longer able to support them, so I will hand it over to you, please treat them well." ”

Shangguan Shaoyang looked at Zhong Xuanlan with a wooden face, at this moment he knew that Zhong Xuanlan was leaving, and he might not set foot in the imperial city again in this life.

Zhong Xuanlan didn't care about Shangguan Shaoyang's thoughts, and said: "Amumu, you should know his origins, let him be a national teacher, and it will be beneficial and harmless to this stable imperial court, you ......"

Zhong Xuanlan was interrupted by Shangguan Shao Yang before he could say a word.

"You're leaving, aren't you?"

Zhong Xuanlan nodded.

"Aren't you afraid that I will release my queen mother and royal brother?"

Zhong Xuanlan walked back to the main seat and sat down, looked at Shangguan Shao Yang and said, "You won't, cousin knows me as well as you do, and I also know you." ”

Shangguan Shaoyang smiled helplessly, maybe they knew each other too well, so they would have no chance.

"Would you like to come here and see me if you have time?"

Zhong Xuanlan didn't want to agree to this promise that couldn't be fulfilled, however, when he saw Shangguan Shaoyang's expectant eyes, Zhong Xuanlan finally nodded.

In this deceitful imperial city, she didn't have many friends, and this person was the most tolerant of her friends.

Shangguan Shaoyang was silent for a long time, and finally decided to choose to use his way to protect the person in front of him, and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "The day after tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Shangguan Shaoyang said: "I'll send you the day after tomorrow." ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded.
