So, on her forty-third birthday, Xue Yan abdicated, passing the throne to the princess royal Xue Yang, who became the first female Empress in the history of Da Ling.
That year, Xue Yang was twenty-one years old.
It was also the day Xue Yan abdicated the throne and no longer served as Emperor that Jiang Yue once again heard the long beep sounding in the space.
The last gray button finally lit up with a red light and turned into a red button.
At the abdication banquet for Xue Yan, which was also the ceremony where Xue Yang inherited the throne, Jiang Yue heard the sound and quietly mentioned it to Xue Yan, then she and Xue Yan made an excuse to leave the banquet, leaving Xue Yang to continue hosting the officials.
