Xie Chaochao really never thought that he would sit in this position one day, and he really felt very proud.

I do feel very surprised. Now everyone is looking at me. To be honest, I really don't know how to move forward.

It makes people feel particularly helpless and uncomfortable.

I can only look into the distance.

Thinking of the people around the emperor, Xie Chaochao suddenly fell silent, hesitated for a moment, and walked around twice. She even felt that she should not sit on the position of the empress.

I am a girl.

How can you sit in this position?

Sitting there hesitantly in silence, Chu Heng came over from nowhere and asked curiously, "What are you doing? Did something happen? If there is anything, you can tell me and I can help you solve it. I will definitely help you."

Xie Chaochao turned around and looked at him.

He let out a long sigh.

"I don't have much to say. If you ask me, I don't know how to explain it, but I want to tell you that the situation here is still very complicated. I know you must want to ask what's going on, but I can only tell you that I don't really want to sit in this position. Will you blame me?"

The person opposite suddenly laughed.

He walked over and held the person in his arms.

Chu Heng stood tall and straight, his eyes flashing with unquestionable firmness and tenderness. He held Xie Chaochao tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to isolate himself from all the unrest and hardships in the world.

"Chao Chao, you don't need to worry about this." Chu Heng's voice was low and magnetic, like a spring breeze, with endless comfort and doting, "Let the shadows of the old dynasties go with the wind. Their existence will only be dust that should not be on this land, and I will clean it up for you."

Xie Chaochao's eyes turned red when she heard this. She shook her head gently, and her long hair fell like a waterfall, fluttering gently in the night breeze. "Brother Heng, I know you are doing this for my own good, but... people are all made of flesh and blood. They may have been loyal, but they were forced by the current situation and had no choice. If you can give them a way out and let them reform, it may not be a bad thing." There was a subtle tremor in her voice, which showed her kindness and tenacity.

Chu Heng felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He hugged her even tighter, as if to deeply imprint this tenderness and understanding in each other's hearts. "Chao Chao, you are always like this, with a kind heart, which makes me love and respect you. Well, since you say so, I will do as you say. However, I will make secret arrangements to ensure that they will not become a hidden danger in the future."

After that, Chu Heng turned around, his eyes like torches, scanning the quiet night around him, as if he had already seen the shadows lurking in the dark. He secretly planned in his heart that he had to show the majesty and decisiveness of a king, while taking into account Xie Chaochao's kindness and tolerance. This was a difficult task, but he was willing to take on everything for her.

The two people's figures leaning on each other stretched out in the moonlight, looking particularly warm and firm. At this moment, whether it was the struggle for power or the intrigues in the palace, they all seemed to be far away from them, leaving only the pure and deep feelings between them, slowly flowing in the night, warming each other's hearts.

As the night fell, the stars were like tiny diamonds inlaid on the deep sky. The lights in the palace were brilliant, reflecting an unusual scene. Xie Chaochao, wearing an intricate and gorgeous phoenix robe, embroidered with gold and silver, and lotus flowers blooming at every step, walked slowly from the vermilion palace gate. Every step seemed to be on the clouds, majestic yet gentle. Her eyes flashed with wisdom and determination, as if she could see through everything in the world, and so deep that people could not look directly at her.

The moment she stepped into the hall, the whole space seemed to stop, and all eyes converged on her. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and dignified. In the center, General Chu, the brave general who had fought on the battlefield and was feared by all, was kneeling on one knee. The cold light on his armor flickered in the candlelight, reflecting his resolute and unyielding face. His eyes showed both nostalgia for the past glory and deep respect for the woman who was about to ascend the throne as the empress.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on sitting firmly on the throne of the empress. May our Great Xia country prosper under your governance and last forever!" General Chu's voice was low and powerful, echoing in the hall. Every word seemed to burst out from the bottom of his heart, full of sincerity and loyalty.

Upon hearing this, Xie Chaochao gently raised her hand, her slender jade fingers seemed to be able to command thousands of troops. She smiled slightly, and that smile was like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, bright and majestic. "General Chu, you are the pillar of my Great Xia. I am very pleased to have loyal and good people like you assist me. From today on, you and I will work together as monarch and minister to achieve great things, so that the people of this world can live and work in peace and prosperity."

As her words fell, thunderous applause rang out in the hall. All the ministers knelt and shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!" At this moment, Xie Chaochao was no longer the girl who grew up silently in the deep palace, but truly became the empress who held power in the world. Her every decision would affect every corner and every life on this land.

Under the dim and heavy palace lanterns, Xie Chaochao looked particularly lonely. He gently stroked the armrest of the chair with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if the cold dragon chair carried too much weight that he was unwilling to bear. "I have no intention of the highest position in this world," his voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to condense into frost in the air, with unquestionable sincerity and helplessness, "If I can really take off this yellow robe and exchange it for a free life, I am willing to give up this vast land, this throne that symbolizes supreme power."

After saying this, he slowly turned around, his eyes passed through the layers of palaces, and fell on General Chu who was standing like a pine tree not far away. General Chu, a warrior, possessed a loyal heart and extraordinary wisdom and courage. At this moment, his face appeared firm and profound in the interweaving of light and shadow. Hearing Xie Chaochao's words, a trace of surprise flashed between General Chu's brows, and then he quickly regained his composure. He knelt on one knee and said in a loud and firm voice: "Your Majesty, you are wrong! Although I, Chu, am a crude warrior, I also know the truth that 'the king worries and the minister is humiliated, and the king humiliates and the minister dies'. The throne is the destiny of heaven, and it is not something that ordinary people like us can covet. I am willing to use this flesh and blood body to defend the territory for Your Majesty and protect our great rivers and mountains, rather than stealing a high position and enjoying the blessing of false reputation."
