A light morning mist hung in the air.

The palace also seemed unusually quiet.

As if he had already anticipated his own life and death, the king summoned Fang Shi and other close ministers to the palace, and then called Zhi Yan and the little prince as well.

At the last moment of his life, the king stood up from his sickbed, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone present, and he spoke word by word, "After I am gone, you must assist the crown prince wholeheartedly, and Yan Kingdom will be handed over to you."

A crowd of people knelt down, not daring to answer at first, but finally, under the powerful pressure from the monarch, they all said yes.

"You are still young. You should think more and ask more questions, and don't act on impulse." The king gave the prince another earnest instruction.

The prince was in high spirits, but his eyes were slightly red and he nodded silently.

Finally, the king spared his energy to look at Zhiyan, "Thank you for your hard work over the years. You are doing well."

Zhiyan's tears fell like rain.

Half true and half false.

Although the king is old, his kindness to Zhiyan over the years is real, so at this time, Zhiyan is indeed a little sad.

After a few breaths, the king slowly lay down again and closed his eyes peacefully.

The solemn funeral bell rang in the palace, and then spread everywhere, and everyone knew that the king had passed away.

Madam Yu, who was alone in the palace, was shocked and wanted to go out immediately, but was stopped at the palace gate.

"Your Majesty has given an oral order. Madam Yu can pray for Your Majesty in the palace. After half a month, she will fast and copy scriptures." These words were conveyed by the monarch's confidant.

Madam Yu looked grim and staggered back a few steps.

Of course she understood that the king had kept her in the palace for half a month in order to prevent her from having any other thoughts. Half a month later, the new king took the throne and everything was settled.

“Why…” Madam Yu was unwilling to accept this. She had been planning for so many years, but in the end she failed to win the bid for the crown prince, and let someone who came later take advantage of her.

But she has nothing now. Her son is far away in his fiefdom and she can't reach him; and her married daughter is in a foreign country and she doesn't know the situation there.

No matter how unwilling you are, you have to accept it.

The sound of the funeral bell reached the former prince's palace. He had once wanted to imprison the king, but in the end, this place became his own prison.

"He's dead?! Who succeeded to the throne? Who was it? Master Fei?" The prince has been acting crazy these days and his speech has been incoherent.

He is only accompanied by his former wife.

She knew who the new crown prince was. Seeing her husband's appearance, she could only shake her head secretly and said nothing. If she had known that the youngest son would benefit in the end, she would have been better off...

"It's over." While guarding in Zhiyan Palace, Shi Li heard the death knell and subconsciously stood up and looked outside, with a solemn and nervous expression on his face.

Although everything is going according to plan, I can't feel at ease until I know the answer.

But she didn't have to wait long, as Shi Wu brought the news back to her.

"Everything went well." He didn't care about the life and death of others. He returned to Shi Li and looked at her with eyes wide open. "Don't worry."

Now, all we have to do is wait for the prince to ascend the throne smoothly.

Whether it was the former crown prince, Gongzi Fei, or Madam Yu, they all had spies watching them, so they didn't have to worry about anything going wrong. And Rao Ji looked at Fang Shi, and the former dynasty was under control.

Shi Li's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She looked up at Shi Wu, who was still as heroic as he was back then, and suddenly laughed.

Noon: ???

"Do you remember how we met?" Shi Li asked curiously, tilting her head.

"You saved me." Shi Wu certainly remembered.

He was young at the time, but he suffered such severe internal injuries during the mission and fled to the yard where Shi Li lived. Thinking about it now, he was simply walking into a trap.

But if not, he wouldn't have met Shi Li. Everything was already destined.

"As the saying goes, a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's own body. What do you think?" Shi Li raised her brows, waiting for his reaction.

Shi Wu didn't react at first. He just looked at Shi Li strangely, thinking, hasn't his life always been hers?

But looking at Shi Li's smile, he gradually realized what was happening, but he couldn't believe it, "You mean..."

"Let's get ready and find an auspicious day to hold a wedding!" Shi Li said generously without any shyness.

Instead, Shi Wu felt a little awkward. He turned his head away quickly, his eyes flickering.

[Is this... the opposite? ]

[That's fine, why isn't she considered the heroine? ]

[I think so too. It’s better for two people to live a good life than anything else~]

Everything is going according to plan.

The little princess in the neighboring country also relied on herself and gradually gained a foothold in the neighboring country. Hearing that the new king of Yan Kingdom ascended the throne, she was silent for a long time, and finally sent someone to send a gift of congratulations.

Half a month later, the prince successfully ascended the throne and became the new king of Yan Kingdom.

In a month or so, it will be an auspicious day.

The people in the city were fortunate enough to witness a lively wedding ceremony, but they did not recognize the backgrounds of the newlyweds from beginning to end.

There were drums and gongs, and it was extremely lively.

Shi Li didn't have to stay in the palace any longer, but he got used to staying in Yan Kingdom and bought a house in the city not far from Rao Ji.

Rao Ji came to visit, and while Shi Li was away, she couldn't help but ask Shi Wu tentatively, "Are you not afraid that others will say you are a son-in-law?"

"It's fine." Shi Wu didn't care at all.

Rao Ji: ...

excuse me.

It's one's own life to live, and Shi Wu feels that the life he has now is what he has always dreamed of.

As for what outsiders say, he doesn't care at all.

When Shi Li came back, Shi Wu said in a particularly virtuous way, "The swing in the back garden has been set up, with flower vines on both sides. Would you like to try it?"

"Okay, come with me." Shi Li nodded with a smile.

Just like what the barrage said, it’s better for two people to live a good life than anything else.
