Chapter 243: Passing the throne

Zhaohua held Wang Qi, who had become calm, without saying a word. Tang Feng slowly approached her and asked tentatively: "Master...that demonic aura does not seem to belong to the fox clan."

Zhaohua was silent for a long time before speaking, "I know that such spiritual power is an existence that is more sophisticated than the fox clan."

"Why is this happening? The baby was obviously a mortal when he was born, so why did he suddenly..."

"I want to take him back to the demon world. I vaguely feel that this is not as simple as we have seen."

“Master is saying…”

"Wangshu." Zhaohua looked up at Tang Feng and said word by word: "He has a problem."

In this way, if Zhao Hua returns to the demon world, he is likely to never come back.

Her only attachment to the world is that her identity is the child of the mortal. John prays not to be a mortal, so they have no reason to stay in the world.

She could have left resolutely and ignored this world.

But she couldn't do it completely.

As today's troubled times seem to be pacified, it is just because she used means and forces to suppress it.

She just patted her butt and left. The court officials with military power would definitely have a strange intention. Then the war would continue, and the suffering would be only the dawn of the people.

She was not afraid of suffering from mortals who had nothing to do with her. She just felt that the throne should fall on people who deserve the name of the emperor.

This person is the only one in the world.

Before leaving the palace, Zhaohua went to find him.

He and she bent their knees and sat next to the tea table under the peach blossom tree. In front of them was Yuan Yuan's newly brewed tea.

Zhaohua saw a handsome man coming to find Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan held hands with him and headed towards the market. She smiled, "That man..."

"It's Yuan Yuan's husband. He mistakenly regarded me as Yuan Yuan's father. He got a hired one month ago and asked to marry Yuan Yuan. The child's family was in business, so it was not a big deal, but his life was pretty good. After getting married, Yuan Yuan should have returned to her husband's house, but she couldn't rest assured that I was, so she often came back to visit her."

Zhaohua looked at the peaceful and happy smile on Song Shi'an's face and felt quite touched, "You really regard her as your half daughter now."

"In this world, sincerity has always been exchanged for sincerity. I and you are the same." He slowly added a cup of tea to Zhaohua. "I have heard of the things in the palace now. You have been well governing the country. Those who have strange intentions dare not show up in front of you. Kyoto is now spreading, and the people all admire you."

Zhaohua picked up the teacup and covered his face with long sleeves and drank it all, "What do I want them to admire me? This world is the world of ordinary people, not mine. You also know that my ambition is not here. I don't like having power in my hands. I have to take too much responsibility for no reason, but I feel tired."

Song Shi'an smiled, "I always knew it. I still remember when you were fighting against Xiliang, you got up at night and played chess with me all night."

Zhaohua waved his sleeves at the tea case, and then a pair of chess tools appeared in front of the two of them.

Zhaohua pushed the white chess ball in front of Song Shi'an, and took the black chess first, "I learned all the skills of chess with you. Later, when I entered the inner court, no one played with me."

Song Shi'anle picked up the white piece and fell down, "Then let's see if your chess skills are improved."

These two people, a young girl and a white-haired man, played chess like close friends, talking and laughing, and the picture was so disharmonious.

Zhaohua's three-legged cat skills were naturally beyond Song Shi'an, and she was soon killed without leaving any armor.

Zhaohua looked at Bai Zi full of plates and said to himself: "Actually, playing chess is the same as governing the world. If you play chess one step ahead, you will beat me a lot."

Song Shian heard the subtitle of her words, "You come to find me today, and I think it's not just as simple as reminiscing about the past."

Zhaohua didn't go around in circles. She took out the tiger talisman from the Feiyu troops from her sleeve and placed it in front of Song Shi'an, "Today, I am not going to force you to do something, but discussing something with you. I have to return to the demon world because of some important things. When I go back to the world, I may not go back. If you have the will to govern the world for the emperor, I will help you. If you are not interested, I will not force you."

"Your child is still in the world, why are you in a hurry to leave?"

"You also said that he is my child, so how could he be a mortal?"

Song Shian lowered his head silently, and Zhaohua could see that he was hesitating.

She didn't want to force Song Shi'an to do anything, maybe the free life of Yiyun Yehe is also what he wants now.

But she had to explain to Song Shi'an the current court and the turmoil that might occur in the court after she left. After all, this world is Song Shi'an's home, and the world is in chaos and no one can survive.

Song Shi'an has been an official for decades and can guess even if he is not in the court.

"If you hadn't been in the previous dynasty, after the sudden death of the Emperor Baili of Xiliang, the world would have been in chaos."

Zhaohua picked up the tiger talisman and handed it to Song Shi'an, "No matter whether you want it in this world or not, you can hold the tiger talisman. I can dispatch the Feiyu troops here. If there is any accident, you can protect yourself and Yuan Yuan."

"Who can take care of himself in the troubled times? This world has been the world that I have been guarding for decades. How can I watch the people in dire straits?"

He took the tiger talisman, stood up and held his fists and bowed deeply to Zhaohua, "No matter what, I have thanked you for the people of the world, and thanked you for protecting this world for a long time."

"Thank me?" Zhaohua smiled, "What's the point of thanking me? I'm just for my own selfishness. In the past, I built a country for Yuanmu because of my ignorance and love. Now I have destroyed the world with my own hands and handed it to Xiliang because I want to regain my soul. The world has always been harmed by me. How can I have time to ensure it is safe?"

"If you have any intention, the world will be ruined. If you want to leave, Japan does not need to come to see me now. Thank you."

He bowed again, Zhaohua waved his hand and shook his head, "I have never felt this before, and you don't have to thank me. Go, after saying goodbye to Yuanyuan, I will take you into the palace."

On the morning court the next day, Zhaohua handed over the jade seal and military power to Song Shi'an in front of all civil and military officials.

Those who criticized the court officials were all fascinated by Zhaohua's mind and willingly surrendered to Song Shi'an.

Before leaving, she and Tang Ye were walking leisurely in Shangyuan City at sunset.

She stroked the red walls and green trees, and suddenly laughed, "I seemed to have had a dream in these ten years, and everything seemed so unreal."

"After we returned to the demon world, everything in the mortal world has nothing to do with us. The master can also forget the unhappy memories of the past. In the misty mountain stream or misty valley, there are monsters playing with us, and there are fewer intrigues, which are not much more comfortable than the mortal world?"

Zhaohua nodded and looked back at the Chaoyang Palace.

In a trance, she seemed to see her former self.

A fox demon who was ignorant of the world was mingling among the crowd, but with a purer and pretty smile than everyone, he was slowly walking towards her.
