The Emperor's words surprised the Empress Dowager. She had not known any of this.
But when those words fell into Jun Wu Xie's ears, Jun Wu Xie knew it clearly. Those people who came looking for the Emperor, must be from one of the Twelve Palaces!
"Grandmother! They said, if your grandson does not follow their instructions and continue to search for the thing on the map, they will kill your grandson! Your grandson does not dare to hand over the human skin map, they will really kill me! "The Emperor was trembling, his face filled with fear.
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly and looked up at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie said: "That map, I must have it."
The Empress Dowager could only sigh and said to the Emperor: "Don't worry, after you hand over the thing, I will leave this place with you and find a place to live in seclusion. They will definitely not find you."
The Emperor looked at the Empress Dowager in fear and hesitated for a long while before he slowly nodded his head. He crawled towards the throne and pulled out a brocade box from a secret compartment at the bottom of the throne. His hand holding the brocade box trembled slightly as he walked to come before Jun Wu Xie, trembling as he handed it over to her.
At that moment, the Emperor knew that he had completely lost. It was impossible for him and his son to have children and with Jun Wu Xie being so overbearing, coupled with the fact that the Empress Dowager had already made her decision, no matter how much he struggled, he would only suffer more.
He was a smart man and knew that there was nothing he could do to change the situation, so he might as well cooperate obediently and preserve his life.
Jun Wu Xie held the brocade box in her hand and there was indeed a human skin map lying within the brocade box.
"Announce your abdication today, and everything between you and me will be written off." Jun Wu Xie kept the brocade box away, not intending to waste any more words with the Emperor. She had achieved her goal in coming to the Fire Country and the people who provoked her had already been punished. She had no interest in wasting any more time.
The Emperor retreated to the Empress Dowager's side. The only one who could protect him now was the Empress Dowager. Although those people were powerful, the spies at the Empress Dowager's side were not to be trifled with.
"When he announces his abdication, I will announce the First Emperor's decree to the public. From today onwards, you will be the Fire Country's Emperor." The Empress Dowager finally had her wish of many years fulfilled.
Jun Wu Xie suddenly waved her hand and said: "No need. You only need to pass the throne to Lei Chen."
Lei Chen was slightly shocked.
The Empress Dowager still wanted to say something but Jun Xie did not intend to stay there any longer. She called for Drunk Lotus to walk out of the main hall and sat upon Lord Meh Meh's back, calmly departing under the shocked cries of the Imperial Guards.
However, there was dead silence in the hall.
The Empress Dowager's eyes widened slightly as she stared at the back of that petite figure walking away suavely. When she had been hidden within the secret chamber earlier, she had indeed heard Jun Wu Xie say those words. But she had thought that Jun Wu Xie had only wanted to use that matter to enrage the Emperor, never having thought that Jun Wu Xie would really not care about the Fire Country's throne at all.
"Empress Dowager!" Lei Chen suddenly knelt in front of the Empress Dowager.
"I will not be the Fire Country's Emperor! I do not want to be the Emperor either. I will do everything I can to convince Jun Xie, to let him take on all these responsibilities. "
The Empress Dowager looked at Lei Chen in surprise. And after Lei Chen finished speaking, he immediately ran after Jun Xie.
The Emperor who was infatuated with the throne saw that Jun Xie and Lei Chen did not care about the throne in the slightest, and the agony in his heart was indescribable.
