Huangfu Xuanye regained his freedom and was being protected by Jun Yan. The outcome was decided.
Lan Qiwei could only surrender when she realized she had no other way out.
Helian Qingyu succeeded in apprehending Lan Qiwei.
Huangfu Xuanye rehosted the national assembly as the remaining royal member.
Huangfu Xuanye sat on the throne with his father's Emperor Badge in his hand.
"I will be taking on the role of the new Northern Kingdom's emperor," Huangfu Xuanye announced. "Are there any objections?"
The crowd remained silent until one of the senators congratulated him.
"All hail, the new emperor!"
Everyone followed the senator and congratulated Huangfu Xuanye.
At the age of only 17, Huangfu Xuanye officially took over the throne.
That was his fate and his father's wish, and he did not disappoint Huangfu Heng's expectations.
