Chapter 979: Chapter 637 The Emperor has angered the Empress again, she is not worthy of the Top Scholar Song_2

After the Emperor came in, Qing Ying helped him take off his fox fur and hang it on the coat rack, followed by assistance in loosening his garments.

Once his outer clothing was removed, Qing Ying then exited.

The Emperor sat down by the bed, lifted the bedding and sat down, propping himself up with a soft pillow, and looked down at the Empress.

The Empress raised her head and saw the Emperor looking at her, she asked, "Your Majesty is not sleeping?"

After pondering for a moment, the Emperor replied, "I have something to say to you."

The Empress said, "Then speak, Your Concubine is listening."

The Emperor slowly spoke four words, "I want to abdicate."

The Empress thought she had heard wrong, "What did Your Majesty say?"

The Emperor repeated, "I want to abdicate and let the Crown Prince succeed the throne."

Upon hearing this, the Empress was stunned for a moment. Abdication was a major matter, and the Emperor would certainly not joke about it; therefore, it must be true.
