Bab 512: Chapter 512: After a Country

With all matters settled within Kyoto, just when everyone thought that the 'Eleventh' would take the position, he took a step back.

"Xia Country is not mine, it should rightfully be inherited by Princess Yunhua."

As the Eleventh said this, amidst Princess Yunhua's dazed gaze and the shocked expressions of the ministers, he gently held her hand.

"Moreover, I am the designated son-in-law of the late emperor, there's no precedent for a son-in-law to succeed to the throne."

The expressions on the faces of the ministers in the hall were quite a sight, some were disgruntled, muttering under their breaths.

"What do you mean there's no precedence for a son-in-law to succeed? There's also never been a precedent for a woman to be the emperor!"

No matter how low the muttering, it didn't escape the Eleventh's ears.

His gaze became intense, making the man break out in a cold sweat.
