When the imperial palace was besieged, he, as the emperor, not only failed to take charge of the overall situation, but even said that he was willing to cede half of the Great Yong Kingdom in order to save his own life.

This clearly shows that he had no regard for the country or the people; all he cared about was himself.

He was willing to abandon everyone as long as he could keep the throne!

Those ministers were all raised on classical texts, and they went through great hardships to obtain official titles in order to assist a wise ruler, not to become traitors.

His image in the eyes of the public has been completely destroyed. How can anyone continue to serve him?

Moreover, the current situation is already very clear.

Everything was under the control of the Second Prince and the Xuan King, plus the Crown Prince of Dongyue.

If you still don't know which side to take, then you're a fool.

The ministers immediately knelt down and loudly proclaimed, "The Second Prince is a pillar of the nation. His succession will ensure the stability of the Great Yong Dynasty. We beg Your Majesty to abdicate in favor of a more worthy successor!"

Emperor Yong was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

This is unprecedented in the entire Yong Dynasty!

Every previous emperor either died of illness, in battle, or at a ripe old age.

He is the only one who was forced to step down while still in office!

If this were recorded in history, it would be an embarrassment that would be passed down to future generations.

He couldn't bear the blow; his face turned pale, and he staggered suddenly.

He admitted that he was not a good emperor, but he had worked hard every day during his reign, handling all matters of state. Even if he had no great achievements, he had certainly put in a lot of effort.

Although a wrong decision was made in dealing with the eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty, it was also due to the war in previous years.

At that time, public discontent was boiling over and the situation was turbulent, which terrified him.

We have finally achieved this peaceful moment, and we don't want to destroy it easily.

What ordinary people desire most is to be free from war and live in peace and prosperity.

Why do they have to pressure him like this?

Seeing Emperor Yong's breakdown, Jun Jingyan ultimately spared him some dignity.

"If Father abdicates, he will become the Retired Emperor and can move to the Taiyong Palace to live out his remaining years. Your son can assure you that he will restore peace and prosperity to the Great Yong Kingdom."

Emperor Yong suddenly looked up.

Emperor Emeritus!

In his mind, what could be the fate of a dignified emperor who was forced to abdicate, except death?

This was an outcome he hadn't expected.

Previously, he had always feared that the Yong Dynasty would be ruined in his hands, and that he would have no face to face the imperial ancestors.

If one could become the retired emperor, one would not have to take responsibility for anything that happened in the future, and could continue to enjoy wealth and luxury.

Why not?

So, can he then shirk his responsibilities?

And being able to continue enjoying wealth and luxury is indeed the best outcome for him.

Therefore, he immediately announced on the spot that he would hand over the throne to the second prince, Jun Jingyan!

Just as the ministers were preparing to kneel and pay homage to the new emperor, an angry voice came from not far away.

"I am the emperor; you should be bowing to me!"

When they saw the crazy figure running towards them, they almost didn't recognize him.

After a long pause, someone finally called out, "The Fourth Prince?"

Everyone then realized that the man in front of them, reeking of alcohol and looking disheveled, was actually Jun Qiyuan.

He was holding a wine bottle in his hand and laughing loudly at everyone.

"You fools, in your past lives you only deserved to kneel at my feet and bow down to me!"

He then looked at Jun Jingyan and sneered, "You defeated opponent, weren't you already sent to your fiefdom? I'll give you another cup of poisoned wine, so you can reunite with your mother and that dead sister!"

Jun Jingyan frowned. What nonsense was he spouting?

When was I sent to my fiefdom?

At this moment, Jun Qiyuan let out another heavy hiccup and pointed his spear at the figure in black robes not far ahead.

"Weren't you already dead? Before the Double Ninth Festival, you received news of the border war and soon died on the battlefield. There's no such thing as being resurrected. In your previous life, you were clearly really dead!"

Before this, the man had already heard about his "past life" from Shen Fu.

His first thought upon learning the truth was to go to the Fourth Prince's residence and tear that beast to pieces.

Shen Fu stopped him, saying that the grand plan was about to begin.

She wanted to keep him alive until the very last moment, to expose his true colors in front of everyone.

This was a vow she made when she was reborn, and she was determined to keep it!

Jun Qiyuan's presence here was also something she deliberately did.

Shen Fu was also somewhat surprised at this moment, as what he was saying was clearly something that happened in her previous life.

In his previous life, the second prince was implicated and demoted, and was eventually poisoned to death by the succeeding emperor, Jun Qiyuan.

As for Xiao Xuanjin, he did indeed die on the battlefield and never returned.

How did he know these things?

Did he also get reborn?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he saw Jun Qiyuan's gaze fall upon him.

At first, he thought he was hallucinating, his eyes filled with utter astonishment, and then he scrambled towards her.

Of course, he didn't even have a chance to get close to her before he was kicked over.

The wine bottle shattered on the ground, and his body was embedded in the shards, but he seemed oblivious to the pain, staring blankly at Shen Fu.

"Tell me, it was all just a dream, wasn't it?"

"I did not exterminate the entire Zhenguo Duke's family, nor did I throw their corpses into a mass grave, nor did I force you to commit suicide by running into a pillar."

"I haven't done that many things to hurt you, have I?"

Shen Fu's face was cold and stern; he had indeed learned about what happened in his past life.

It wasn't a rebirth, but rather a reenactment of a dream.

That's good!

Having the memories of two lifetimes, he could better understand the hatred between them, saving him the trouble of explaining himself.

The onlookers were stunned.

From the moment he mentioned the Second Prince and the Xuan King, they thought he was talking nonsense and acting crazy.

Now, mentioning the Princess Consort of Xuan is utterly absurd.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is doing just fine, and even more prosperous than before, so how can you say that the whole family was wiped out?

Shen Fu is now the Princess Consort of Xuan, and she and the Prince of Xuan are a loving couple. She is also pregnant. When did she die by hitting her head against a pillar?

How can someone talk such nonsense?

Of course, Shen Fu wouldn't reveal her rebirth in front of so many people. Instead, she moved closer to him and lowered her voice.

"I've said it before, if I could do it all over again, I would make you pay back a thousandfold for the pain you inflicted on me. And... the thing I regret most is saving you back then!"

The last sentence was like a cold, sharp blade, piercing deeply into Jun Qiyuan's heart.

For the past few days, he has been unable to face this matter, desperately telling himself that it was just a dream.

He did not repay kindness with enmity, nor did he kill his savior.

But cruel reality plunged him into hell!
