After drafting the abdication edict, Zhou Yang handed it to Lu Shunfu.
"Go on back."
"But Holy Emperor, aren't you returning to the palace with me?"
"I'm not."
Zhou Yang gazed at the green mountains and clear waters, a world brimming with life. "I'm going to stay here a while longer. When you return, take a message to the Empress and Consort Qi. Tell them they no longer need to abide by the palace rules and regulations. They can just do as they please."
"Yes…" Lu Shunfu was stunned. He gathered his men and was about to leave when Zhou Yang called him to a stop.
"One more thing."
Zhou Yang looked at her, then glanced at Shuang Ye, whose face inexplicably reddened.
Song Lianhe vaguely sensed what was happening, and her expression immediately changed.
"Er, Princess Qing, I have a matter to discuss…"
"Absolutely not!"
Song Lianhe glared at him. "How old do you think Shuang Ye is? She's young enough to be your daughter!"
