Chapter 324 Slapping the Face of the Treacherous Regent (19) (The End)
Knowing his imprisonment in the dark dungeon was imminent, Xuanming, perhaps subconsciously aware that he could no longer seize the destiny of the Chosen One, left this world in the middle of the night.
The next day, when the Imperial Guards guarding him were about to take him to the execution ground, they discovered that he had already passed away.
Upon learning this, Leng Yuexing discovered that the fortune of the Child of Heaven had been completely taken back by the sapling, and he knew that the outsider had completely left this world.
Shangguan Jingzhi was carefully reviewing the wedding regulations drafted by the Ministry of Rites for the two of them. After reading it, he casually handed it to Leng Yuexing, saying, "Take a look and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with. I'll have them revise it."
Leng Yuexing glanced at it briefly, then chuckled and said, "I have no objections. Just follow these guidelines."
“I have already asked the Ministry of Rites to modify some of the inappropriate parts. Since you and I are both men, we don’t need to follow the normal ceremony.” Shangguan Jingzhi said, explaining the changes to Leng Yuexing one by one.
Leng Yuexing leaned against Shangguan Jingzhi and listened attentively. The rules of their wedding were incredibly complicated, but Leng Yuexing listened with great interest.
"...These are the changes. What do you think?" Shangguan Jingzhi whispered in Leng Yuexing's ear.
“I think the changes are very good, let’s follow these rules,” Leng Yuexing said, tapping the paper in her hand.
Seeing that Leng Yuexing had no objections, Shangguan Jingzhi ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the wedding items as soon as possible.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The day was sunny and breezy, a rare and auspicious day.
Shangguan Jingzhi and Leng Yuexing held a solemn and dignified wedding ceremony in the palace.
Leng Yuexing wore an exquisite phoenix crown and a red wedding robe of the same style as Shangguan Jingzhi's, with a golden shawl draped over the robe.
He was already exceptionally handsome, and now, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, he looked even more like a celestial being descended to earth.
The moment he appeared before Shangguan Jingzhi, Shangguan Jingzhi disregarded the Master of Ceremonies' attempts to stop him and insisted on walking down the high steps.
He walked steadily to Leng Yuexing's side, took his hand, and led him up to the viewing platform where the ceremony was to be held.
Amidst solemn music, the wedding ceremony officially began. The master of ceremonies read aloud the blessings and guided the couple through a series of rituals: bowing to heaven and earth, paying respects to their parents, and the emperor and empress bowing to each other...
The wedding ceremony was successfully completed, without any sabotage or verbal abuse as Leng Yuexing had predicted.
In fact, all of this was arranged in advance by Shangguan Jingzhi.
The marriage between Shangguan Jingzhi and Leng Yuexing was initially met with strong opposition from many officials.
Shangguan Jingzhi, without Leng Yuexing's knowledge, sent his secret guards to threaten the lives and fortunes of the officials, which allowed the two to hold their wedding ceremony smoothly.
After getting married, Shangguan Jingzhi seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, abandoning his previous bad habit of neglecting state affairs.
Like an awakened lion, he governed the court with overwhelming force and launched a vigorous reform.
Under Shangguan Jingzhi's governance, the imperial court was transformed.
Those who embezzled, accepted bribes, and abused their power were brought to justice. Then, a vigorous campaign was launched to rectify official conduct, and virtuous and capable individuals were selected to hold important positions, making the entire bureaucratic system efficient and incorruptible.
Over time, Shangguan Jingzhi achieved remarkable results.
The country is becoming increasingly prosperous, and the people are well-fed and clothed, with happy smiles on their faces.
Shangguan Jingzhi attributed all the credit to Leng Yuexing, claiming that the changes he made and the policies he implemented were all due to Leng Yuexing's advice.
The voices that once mocked Leng Yuexing and said she was seductive and alluring gradually disappeared.
Instead, he received unanimous praise from the common people and officials.
The people compiled their story into a book and set it to music, so that their love story could be passed down from generation to generation.
Shangguan Jingzhi is also known as the most affectionate emperor.
In his middle age, Leng Yuexing and Shangguan Jingzhi selected outstanding disciples from their respective clans to be their successors and carefully taught them.
In the last few years of their lives, the two chose to live in seclusion in the mountains, detached from worldly affairs, and dedicate all their time to each other.

When Leng Yuexing awoke from the Star Sea Space, she was still somewhat dazed.
This time, the sapling did not forcibly wake Leng Yuexing. It huddled in Leng Yuexing's consciousness space, praying that Leng Yuexing would not pay attention to it.
Perhaps because she had finally returned to her original form, Leng Yuexing quickly recovered from her dazed state.
He stood up and then softly called out to the sapling.
His voice was gentler than ever before, but the sapling felt an invisible killing intent surrounding it.
It trembled and dared not respond.
Leng Yuexing called out to the sapling gently again.
He even conjured nine white fox tails behind him.
Nine snow-white fox tails unfolded behind him like a dream, swaying lightly like nimble elves.
The sapling was the first to discover that Leng Yuexing had conjured a fox tail in the starry sky.
It knew that as Leng Yuexing saved more and more small worlds, his divine soul became stronger and stronger, and the power of the divine soul even contained the power of the Heavenly Dao.
The sapling even sensed a more powerful force within Leng Yuexing's soul; it seemed to be the power of chaos.
Knowing that running away was not the solution, the sapling responded shakily.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Leng Yuexing asked with a light laugh.
The sapling trembled slightly and rustled. After thinking for two seconds, it decisively apologized to Leng Yuexing.
Seeing that the sapling apologized directly, Leng Yuexing, who was still angry, softened her expression.
He sighed softly, "Never mind, it wasn't your fault to begin with. I just didn't expect the chosen one of this world to be so pitiful. I've fulfilled all his wishes, so he should be over it now, right?"
“He told me to thank you,” the sapling replied softly.
"It seems you've calmed down, that's good." Leng Yuexing replied with a light laugh.
Then he thought of Shangguan Jingzhi, and his expression became somewhat sad.
In this life, Shangguan Jingzhi worked diligently for him, suppressing his temper and no longer acting as he pleased.
Shangguan Jingzhi did all this just so that he would no longer be vilified by the world.
Shangguan Jingzhi once said that he would kill all those who insulted him.
However, in order to earn the genuine respect of others, Shangguan Jingzhi eventually changed his mind and stopped using the method of killing.
Shangguan Jingzhi endured his entire life for him, but Shangguan Jingzhi didn't have to do that...
Leng Yuexing, who was immersed in memories of the past, was suddenly pulled back to reality by a golden light that flashed before her eyes and the suddenly enlarged golden subtitles in front of her.
Leng Yuexing knew that the sapling wanted him to choose the next world.
This time, the sapling also drew three worlds: the ancient world, the alien world, and the online game world.
Having never seen two worlds before, Leng Yuexing focused her gaze on the latter two.
Even though Leng Yuexing had transformed in the previous world, he really didn't want to transform again in an alien world, so he clicked on the online game world without hesitation.
A dazzling light flashed, and Leng Yuexing's figure disappeared into the starry sea space.
