The Retirement of the Demon Lord

The emperor was in his prime, and his black hair had turned completely white after ten days! This is how much a blow to be so sad!

Li Mengyao naturally knew why this was happening, her eyes were red in an instant, and she was so choked that she couldn't speak.

"I'm fine, it's just that my hair is gray, it's not in the way." The emperor's kind eyes lingered on Li Mengyao for a while.

Because a few days ago, he had a conversation with the old man Tianji, which reminded him of the past 20 years ago, and he was very fond of the former empress and Li Feiqiu and other deceased old people. As the orphan of Li Feiqiu, his righteous brother, Li Mengyao made the emperor miss Li Feiqiu, who saved him with his own body. For Li Feiqiu's untimely death, how could the emperor not treat his orphans well?

Li Mengyao restrained her emotions and stepped forward to salute in a hurry.

This is a meeting room in the inner palace. If the emperor only wants to see her in private, he will not make an appointment at this office, and the princess cannot enter the meeting room as the regent. Therefore, Li Mengyao put away her identity as a princess, like Mo Diao and the others, half kneeling and salute.

As he got closer, Li Mengyao found that although the emperor had lost a lot of weight and his hair was gray, his face was radiant, without any dejection, and he was dignified and spontaneous...even more powerful than before, which is surprising!

Seeing that the emperor was in good spirits, Li Mengyao felt relieved.

"No gift. You wait for a while, until we finish the matter of the Shadow City Palace." The emperor said to Li Mengyao.

"Yes." Li Mengyao rolled her eyes at Li Changrong, feeling faintly that Li Changrong had a deeply entangled relationship with Yingdu Mansion.

"Mo Diao, what did you want to say just now?" The emperor asked Mo Diao to be interrupted by Li Mengyao's entry.

"I feel that I can't afford the post of the Grand Commander of the Shadow Metropolis." Mo Diao resigned, "I am on duty in the imperial study day and night, and I have long been out of touch with the internal affairs of the Shadow Metropolis, and I am completely incompetent for the post of the Grand Commander. I feel that it should be Hand over to a more suitable person so as not to delay the opportunity.”

The emperor touched his chin and pondered, "Then who do you think is competent?"

There are still some senior secret guards in Yingdu Mansion, but the emperor did not expect Mo Diao to recommend him: "This minister is a martial artist, I only know the truth... I think Princess Chang Rong is the best candidate. Your Majesty, you appoint and dismiss her as an assistant minister. Being the great commander puts the cart before the horse, it should be the minister who assists her to be the great commander."

Mo Diao bowed her head and fell to the ground. Even the aunt who bought vegetables on the roadside knew the emperor's favorite daughter. He opened his mouth to recommend the second princess to be the commander of the Shadow City Palace, for fear of making Longyan furious.

"What's the reason for you to say that?" The emperor glared, he was indeed a little angry.

Mo Diao, a deputy commander, actually recommended the second princess, who never interfered in the affairs of the Shadow Capital Mansion, as the chief commander. What's the reason? He has agreed to let Li Changrong enter the Yingdu Mansion to help with internal affairs, is that not enough?

"Your Majesty, to be honest... The minister and the nameless commander are in the inner palace almost all the time, and they meet much more often than the other deputy commanders. Once the nameless commander had a conversation with the minister, she hinted that she had always regarded Princess Changrong as a Her successor is to cultivate... The internal affairs, rules and regulations of Yingdu Palace are all arranged in Princess Changrong's daily homework."

Mo Diao is the person with the highest martial arts in the Yingdu Mansion except Wuming, and is also the most trusted subordinate of the emperor and Wuming. Wuming will occasionally tell him about the current situation of the Yingdu Mansion, lest a deputy commander ask three questions about the many plans of the Yingdu Mansion. . Therefore, he is the only one who knows that Li Changrong has the identity of a dark guard in addition to the princess.

"Really?" The emperor was taken aback, Wuming never communicated with him about this.

Li Changrong also looked suspicious: "Commander Wuming never said that."

"Princess, you practice martial arts with Wuming on weekdays, but can you explain to you the rules and regulations of the Yingdu Mansion in detail, as well as the internal affairs?" Mo Diao asked slowly, not in a hurry.

"Yes. After three hours of hard training every day, the commander-in-chief will tell me in detail the way of handling the affairs of the Shadow City Palace and his unique opinions... The rules of the precepts must be memorized every morning, noon and evening."

"Commander Wuming handles the documents of the Shadow Metropolis, do you know where they are?"

"Commander Wuming never shies away from me. I have seen where she is stored."

"Do you know where the seal of the commander of the Shadow City Palace is placed?"

"I've seen it too, it should be..."

"Okay, please tell the emperor." After Mo Diao finished what he was about to say, he bowed his head and said nothing.

The Shadow City Palace is so mysterious, and the dignified commander understands it so unsuspectingly. There is nothing wrong with talking about the daily affairs of the Shadow City Palace to an ordinary dark guard, and storing the documents and official seals of the Shadow City Palace in front of the ordinary dark guard? !

The emperor understood, and smiled bitterly, this Wuming really knows how to pick people... Yingdu Palace is the emperor's secret knife, the most loyal dead man, Wuming chose an absolutely loyal person as his successor on his own initiative...

"I understand. Your Majesty, I am willing to take up the post in danger and take the post of commander temporarily! If it is not suitable, the Emperor can remove me at any time!" Li Changrong is a smart person, and Mo Diao put her at the beginning of childhood with a few questions. It turns out that she has been living in a nameless and careful training, and she has been placed in high hopes.

An organization like the Shadow Metropolitan Government will naturally not be contacted by too many people with its core internal affairs. Except for Wuming and Duming, the other secret guards are all under the command of their superiors alone, and they can't help much in housekeeping. The emperor now knows that there is only one choice for him, the one that Wuming had set for him early.

"Okay, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com From today onwards, I order you to be..."

"Wait a minute!" Li Mengyao gritted her teeth aside, and finally couldn't stand it any longer, "Your Majesty, Chang Rong is a man of a thousand pieces of gold, especially since the Emperor has lost two... Anyway, how can you make a fool of yourself!"

The emperor was not angry when Li Mengyao interrupted him, but said slowly, "Mo Diao, you go back first. You will have to work hard in the future to help Chang Rong."

"Let's order! I will retire first." Mo Diao got up and left quickly.

After Mo Diao left, the emperor asked Li Mengyao and Li Changrong to speak.

"Your Majesty, please think twice! Yingdu Mansion is one of the three companies after all, and the work is unusual, so she can accommodate her..."

"Sister Mengyao, this is my duty."

"What's your duty with me, your princess?" Li Mengyao was seldom angry at this sister who was like a sister, and Li Changrong didn't dare to refute it.

"Mengyao, I can only tell you this secret now. I thought this secret would never be told." The emperor sighed and patted the two sisters on the shoulders.

Li Changrong felt that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She kept this secret from Li Mengyao, which made her very depressed.

"Actually, Chang Rong is not the biological daughter of Zhen and Concubine Shu."

"Your Majesty..." Li Mengyao couldn't accept this information.

The emperor told her that in order to protect the royal family, he had cruelly cultivated his daughter as a city guard. She was mentally prepared for this reason, and it was better to accept it. Now suddenly Li Changrong has been deprived of her princess status, what does it mean?

"Actually, what Concubine Shu gave birth to was not a girl, but a boy... Unfortunately, it was a stillbirth."
