Rebirth: Inheriting Millions In The Eighties
Chapter 832 - 830: Grand Finale

Chapter 832: Chapter 830: Grand Finale

The ministers each exhibited a look of doubt, questioning their lives and themselves.

In the end, they all fixed their gaze on Lu Tingli unanimously.

They must have been hallucinating!

It must be so!

However, Lu Tingli shattered their meager fantasy: "I, want Xia Ningxing as my only Empress."

He repeated it firmly and resoundingly, leaving no room for anyone to argue.

"Court dismissed."

With that, Lu Tingli left with poise, leaving the ministers with faces of astonishment.

The hall fell into utter silence, and it took a long while for everyone to come to their senses—

"Absurd! This is absurd!"

"How could a sovereign of a nation cling only to one woman!"

"It’s utterly preposterous!"

The ministers slapped their thighs and stomped their feet in frustration.

If things were to go on like this, what would become of their daughters!

The harem and the court are inseparable; who doesn’t know the power of influence from one’s pillow talk!

But now, it’s all over!

Only Xia Tuandzi, with a smile tugging at his lips, hummed a tune as he left to find Xia Ningxing in the harem.

Although men were not permitted to freely enter the harem, Lu Tingli, out of affection for everything related to her, granted him special permission.

Xia Ningxing had already received the news.

She looked at the person in the bronze mirror.

The charming girl’s eyes brimmed with tears.

People are good at making promises, but few truly keep them.

Yet, as the ruler of a nation, he had made good on his promises to her, despite the opposition from the officials, even if it might shake his throne.

Yet, he still did it.

It’s not that he is not worried about these issues, but he cares more about her feelings.

Compared to his love for the imperial throne, he loves her more!

"Why are you crying?" The man appeared out of nowhere, encircling her delicate body from behind.

She was so petite that he could easily wrap her entirely in his arms.

Xia Ningxing hurriedly said: "I’m crying from joy."

"Even if they’re tears of joy, it’s not allowed." He domineeringly wiped away her tears, his voice fierce.

Xia Ningxing was at once tearful and amused, coquettishly chiding him.

The coronation ceremony for the Empress would take place in six months.

The reason for the delay was that Lu Tingli wanted to give her a wedding celebration that was luxurious, splendid, and unparalleled!

Nobody could stop the heart of Lu Tingli, dedicated to her for life, for eternity, and for exclusiveness!

Inside the palace, lanterns were strung up, flowers blossomed bountifully, and a festive air enveloped the scene, with auspicious birds circling in flight.

Lu Tingli was changing into new attire inside his sleeping quarters.

With a faint smile on his lips, a gentleness shone through his typically severe and austere eyes.

Today, she would become his Empress!

"Your Majesty! It’s terrible, terrible!" A Palace Attendant ran in frantically, crying out in panic.

Lu Tingli scanned her with a fierce gaze, and the Palace Attendant trembled and collapsed on the ground, as if struck by a violent attack.

"How dare you utter such inauspicious words on such a joyous day!" the Chief Eunuch snorted coldly!

Crawling on the floor, the Attendant cried inconsolably and quickly revealed the matter: "The Empress has suddenly disappeared, this servant was panicked and misspoke, I beg for Your Majesty’s forgiveness..."

Before she could finish, her neck was already in Lu Tingli’s grasp.

He clenched it, his handsome face almost contorted, disbelief in his voice as he confirmed: "You’re saying Ningxing is gone?"

The Attendant, eyes rolling back from suffocation, nodded with all her might.

Lu Tingli threw her aside violently and rushed toward Xia Ningxing’s palace, nearly tripping over.

But Xia Ningxing had truly vanished.

According to the Palace Attendants, just moments ago, Xia Ningxing had been sitting in front of the mirror dressing up, but when they turned around, she was nowhere to be found.

Initially, they thought she had stepped out during the process, but after searching and searching again, there was no sign of her.

Only then did the Palace Attendants realize something terrible had happened— the Empress might have been abducted by some villain.

Lu Tingli’s face turned dark with anger: "Search! Everyone go search! If you can’t find the Empress, you’ll all be moving your heads from your shoulders!"

He shattered a meter-tall flower pot with a single kick.

All the Palace Attendants and guards trembled with fear, as if they had already foreseen their own fate.

Searching and searching, from one day to two days, and then to several months, Xia Ningxing left no trace at all.

It was as if she had vanished into thin air, without leaving the slightest trace or clue.

Over time, various rumors started to spread.

Some said Xia Ningxing monopolized the harem and had been struck down by divine retribution.

Others claimed Xia Ningxing had always had a beloved, and only entered the palace under coercion, so she eloped with a commoner.

Still, others who feared not causing chaos went before Tuanzi to claim that Xia Ningxing was actually secretly murdered by Lu Tingli.

"...Leader Xia, think it over carefully, doesn’t this make sense?"

"Otherwise, within this forbidden palace, heavily guarded, how could your sister just disappear into thin air?"

"If rumors are to be believed that your sister was abducted by villains, as far as I know your sister is skilled in martial arts, so why are there no traces of a fight in the palace?"

The other party said a whole lot, seeming rational and as if making a genuine point.

If it was any other day, Xia Tuandzi would definitely have sensed something amiss, but now he had already lost his reason due to his sister’s disappearance and believed their nonsense.

So it was Lu Tingli who had caused the death of his sister!

He will kill him, to avenge his sister!

Xia Tuandzi, already wrapped up in hatred, picked up a knife and rushed towards the palace.

But before he could step out of the residence, a confidant hurriedly reported: "Leader Xia! Something big has happened! The Emperor is preparing to abdicate!"

This news was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Xia Tuandzi’s hatred and finally bringing back some of his rationality.

"Are you telling the truth?" Xia Tuandzi gripped the confidant’s shoulder and asked loudly.

Lu Tingli was actually going to abdicate?

How could this be possible?

Who in the world would give away an emperor’s throne that was already within reach?

"Of course, it’s true! Civil and military officials are all trying to persuade him! But the Emperor insists, and the abdication edict is already prepared!" the confidant confirmed.

"Moreover, the reason the Emperor wants to abdicate is because of your sister, he said he wants to go find her," the confidant added.

Could his feelings be so deep?

For his sister, he was even willing to give up his throne.

Xia Tuandzi took two stunned steps back.

That being said, his sister mustn’t have been harmed by Lu Tingli; otherwise, why would he need to abdicate?

"How dare you deceive me!" Xia Tuandzi lifted his knife and stabbed the man to death.

In the end, Lu Tingli abdicated and went looking for Xia Ningxing everywhere.

But he searched for a lifetime and still couldn’t find Xia Ningxing.

He eventually died at the age of 88.

Although he was on the throne for only half a year, he left a profound mark in later historical records.

Known by later generations as "The Most Lovesick Emperor in History"

But no one knows that his soul had transcended to a parallel universe, and because of an accident during the transcending process, he lost a part of his memory.

Modern times.

Xia Ningxing lay on the bed in a daze, feeling as if she had had a very long dream.

The dream was set in an ancient world.

But as for what exactly happened, she couldn’t remember any of it.

Until one day, she passed away suddenly, arriving in a parallel universe.

The wheels of fate turned once again, and they met each other yet again.

The memory stopped here, and in her sleep, the aged Xia Ningxing opened her eyes, chokingly hugging Lu Tingli by her side.

Scalding tears fell one after the other onto his neck.

The elderly Lu Tingli woke up, gently and worriedly wiping away her tears: "Why are you crying?"

"Tears of joy."

After all the twists and turns, they were able to meet again, to marry and have children.

What joyous news this was!

Lu Tingli said: "Even if you’re crying out of happiness, you are not allowed to."
