Emperor Mingde and Tang Chujun finished their dinner happily. One discussed state affairs with his son-in-law, and the other talked to his daughter about her personal matters.

"Regent?" Cen Yuan raised her eyes calmly, "In order to marry my mother-in-law in a legitimate way, you stepped down from the throne and became the regent? You are really the most love-minded emperor in history."

Emperor Mingde had never heard of the phrase "the most in love", but he knew it was not a good thing. His face turned red and he cleared his throat, "It's not entirely because of your mother-in-law."

"Then which woman is it because of?" Cen Yuan drank tea, smiling, looking at the emperor through the tea mist.

He dispersed the harem, shocked the court, and abdicated. He was really determined.

Emperor Mingde glared at him and said, "Don't laugh at me!"

Cen Yuan smiled, "Okay, I won't laugh. Hahaha..."

Emperor Mingde: “…”

I had prepared a lot of nice words, such as thanking him for his contribution to the North Wing, but now I can't utter a single sentimental word.

Cen Yuan stopped smiling and the strange look in his eyes. "The court should have someone with great power walking around, so that they can be more aware of the situation. Even after the "Purging Plan" came out, it can only frighten some people for a short time. Over time, there will always be people sitting in official positions thinking about how to exploit the people."

Emperor Mingde was encouraged by his son-in-law and felt warm in his heart. "I think so too. The censors only hear rumors in the capital and report them when they are free. So I plan to promote the censors from local officials every three years to exercise their power."

When Cen Yuan heard this, he knew that Emperor Mingde had been thinking about the power of officials for a year. His eyes darkened, knowing that a shocking secret would no longer trouble him and his wife.

He flattered sincerely and genuinely, "No wonder my little girl always says 'Our emperor is wise'."

Emperor Mingde was not overwhelmed by this flattery. Instead, he changed the subject and said solemnly, "In fact, the real reason for my abdication is..."

In the warm room, Shi Anxia had said this for who knows how many times, "Mother, please stop giggling and tell me something, okay?"

She personally applied medicine to Ye Baoer who was lying on the couch, while chatting with her mother.

Tang Chujun held the cup of tea to warm his hands, his face flushed, "I'm not laughing."

She didn't smile, but the smile just appeared on her face and couldn't be driven away. Her eyes were so bright, and her dry skin became moisturized in one day.

Ye Baoer wagged his tail intermittently, and the dog's tail leisurely swept across the faces of the two cats, one black and one white.

The little puppy curled up its tiny body into a ball, wishing it could make itself into a collar and hang it around Ye Baoer's neck.

Tang Chujun put down the teacup, picked up the puppy and held it in his arms.

The little puppy was lazy and soft, and woofed a few times in a childish voice.

Tang Chujun smiled and bent his eyebrows, "Oh my, this little dog still despises me. I won't let you go back to Ye Baoer, let's see what you can do."

The little puppy barked a few times with all his might, but failed to return to Ye Baoer as he wished, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Shi Anxia raised her eyebrows and glanced at her mother with amusement.

The person is still the same person, but there is a kind of beauty that has been reborn, which the mother before never had.

No matter how good she was to her mother, she couldn't make her mother look so radiant.

After applying the medicine, Shi Anxia cleaned her hands, touched Ye Baoer's head, and then sat on the side of the couch and asked with a smile, "Did that man tell mother when he would come to propose marriage?"

Tang Chujun has been hesitating for so long, isn't it because he is feeling anxious and wants to share this joy with his daughter?

She lowered her head and stroked the soft puppy in her arms, "He asked me to wait a little longer. He said he wanted to marry me as the regent princess." She was a little nervous, "Xia'er, what do you think, should I refuse?"

Shi Anxia's deep eyes finally rippled, "No, mother, Emperor Mingde is worthy of your lifelong trust. Your daughter has always hoped that you will be truly happy."

She didn't dare look into her mother's eyes, because... her blessing was not pure.

It was true that she wanted her mother to be happy, but in the end she took advantage of her mother.

There was a shocking secret that had been weighing on Shi Anxia's heart for nearly a year. Apart from telling Cen Yuan, she dared not reveal it to anyone else.

After Anxia cleaned up the Queen Mother's party through the "Purging Plan", she thought that everything was settled and she could rest easy. At this time, Mr. Yang Xuan, who was promoted to the Chief of the Five Officials of the Imperial Observatory, came to her mysteriously late at night and told her something.

He said that looking at the vast sky, the brilliant Emperor Planet was once as bright as the sun, shining brightly. However, its light is now dimming, as if it is covered by an invisible haze.

That night, Mr. Yang Xuan looked solemn, and his voice was particularly heavy, "Princess, the Emperor Star is about to end."

When Anxia heard this, she was almost devastated. She had finally cleared the obstacles for Emperor Mingde, thinking that if he lived longer, the North Wing would be free from disaster and war.

But the Imperial Astronomical Observatory gave her a heavy blow, telling her that the Emperor's Planet was about to end.

Although some things are mysterious, Shi Anxia, ​​who served as Empress Dowager Huizheng, believed in them with awe.

As an institution responsible for observing celestial phenomena, calculating the calendar, and predicting good and bad luck, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has always played an important role in all dynasties, and there is a reason for that.

Shi Anxia knew that the celestial phenomena were unpredictable and difficult to reverse by human power, and that it was not something that could be solved by her and Cen Yuan's rebirth. She also knew that once the prophecy was spread, it would cause unrest in the government and the country, and might even lead to a bloody storm.

She was able to save Emperor Mingde's life, but she could not save the Emperor Star that symbolized Emperor Mingde.

Shi Anxia asked Mr. Yang Xuan at that time, "Is there any way to delay the decline of Emperor Star? Or is there any way to crack it?"

Mr. Yang Xuan was silent for a long time, then answered, "Yes, there is..."

If not, he wouldn't dare to come to Shi Anxia.

Mr. Yang Xuan is no longer the sorcerer he once was, who would casually reveal the secrets of heaven just to make a living. This matter has been hidden in his heart for a long time, and he has to control his mouth even in his dreams.

If he hadn't noticed a turning point, he wouldn't have dared to risk his life to tell the princess, "Princess, since the court completed the 'Dust Cleansing Plan', the Emperor Star has dimmed, but a star next to it has suddenly emerged and is getting brighter and brighter. The light of this star seems to herald new hope and change. Its trajectory is unusual, and it faintly reveals an extraordinary aura."

Shi Anxia understood it immediately. After the "Purging Dust Plan", the Northern Wing decided on the crown prince.

The prince is the only hope for the Northern Wing.

She remembered that in her previous life, after King Jin ascended the throne, the Imperial Observatory could not find the existence of the Emperor Planet at all.

Emperor Rongguang was so angry that he killed people on a large scale and chopped off the heads of nearly a hundred people.

Until one of the five officials, Si Chen, who was responsible for reporting the time, told a huge lie, saying that the Emperor's planet was shining and was at its peak.

Emperor Rongguang then put down his butcher knife and promoted Si Chen, the Five Officials, to be the Supervisor.

At that time, Anxia believed in astronomical phenomena and Mr. Yang Xuan. But she was really stumped by this shocking secret.
