Lu Wei was so happy at the thought that he was going to live as an idle prince after the marriage. After all, the Emperor of Da Cheng was still alive, and it was expected that he would continue to rule over Da Cheng for a few more years before he passed the throne to his daughter.
What Lu Wei did not know was that, while they were busy with the wedding preparation, the Emperor of Da Cheng had summoned up his old friend, the old General Jiang Huan, into the palace.
Jiang Huan had served for the Emperor for years before he decided to retire and handed the military power to his son, Jiang Xiao Xian. The two old friends chatted for hours, but no one knew what they were talking about.
After a few days, during the morning assembly, the Emperor brought up a matter that shocked the ministers and officers.
He was planning to abdicate and hand over the throne to the Crown Princess after the wedding!
