Godly Empress Doctor Chapter 4254: The End

The fate of Emperor Yan was far from pleasant.

By provoking both Mu Jiuzhou and Jun Linyuan, he had crossed two individuals who were absolutely not to be messed with. His downfall was inevitable.

The public remained in the dark regarding Emperor Yan's ultimate punishment.

It was only by questioning Jun Linyuan that Feng Wu finally learned the truth.

“Was Emperor Yan actually sentenced to death by a thousand cuts?” Feng Wu asked, nibbling on a piece of melon like a little hamster as she looked at Jun Linyuan.

Sitting across from her, Jun Linyuan gave a firm nod. “Even if I had been inclined to show mercy, my uncle would never have allowed it.”

Feng Wu understood he was referring to Mu Jiuzhou and nodded in agreement. “So, what is the plan for the throne now?”

A look of frustration crossed Jun Linyuan’s face.

“My uncle has no interest in that position,” Jun Linyuan admitted, rubbing his temples in annoyance.

Feng Wu remarked, “And you don’t want the responsibility either.”

Jun Linyuan nodded silently.

Feng Wu let out a sigh. “Emperor Yan was obsessed with the throne, yet you toppled him. Now that neither of you wants to rule, what will become of the empire?”

Jun Linyuan replied, “It shall return to its origins, naturally.”

Feng Wu looked at him with a confused expression.

Taking her hand in his, Jun Linyuan explained, “If I remain here in the imperial capital, my grandfather will force me into that role regardless of my wishes. Tell me, would you like to wander the world with me instead?” Feng Wu’s face turned a deep shade of crimson.

She understood exactly what he was proposing.

Gazing into her eyes, Jun Linyuan pressed, “Xiao Wu, would you be willing?” Feng Wu lowered her gaze and whispered, “I didn’t say no.”

Overjoyed, Jun Linyuan exclaimed, “Then we are leaving immediately!”

He knew that if they lingered, the Emperor Emeritus would surely crown him by force.

Without wasting a second, Jun Linyuan scooped Feng Wu into his arms and headed for the exit.

“Wait! Are we just abandoning everything? What about the crown? What about the Luo family? And…”

“The throne will simply go back to where it belongs.”

“I don’t understand.”

“If my grandfather is capable of ruling, let him do it. He has enjoyed his leisure for far too many years,” Jun Linyuan stated flatly. “Once we have a child, that child can take over the Cultivation empire.”

“And if we have a daughter?”

“Then she shall be the reigning Empress.”

Feng Wu continued, “But what about the Luo family…”

Jun Linyuan reassured her, “Do not fret. Master Luo Nantian has already reached a settlement with my uncle. Moving forward, the Luo family will exist as a regional power, and the royals will no longer interfere with them.”

It wasn't long before the news of Jun Linyuan and Feng Wu’s sudden flight reached the palace.

“WHAT?!”

The Emperor Emeritus bolted upright in his bed. “How dare that boy run away?!”

The Sacred Elder One looked equally exasperated as he delivered a message to the Emperor Emeritus. “He sent word that once he and Miss Feng Wu have an heir, they will allow the child to take the throne if you still require it.”

“And what about the present?”

“He claimed that you are still a man in his prime…”

“I am far too old to be in my prime! That little brat… Come, let’s go!”

“Where are you headed?” The Elder moved to block the Emperor Emeritus.

“If he can flee, then so can I! Which way did they head?”

“To the Northwest.”

The Emperor Emeritus slammed his hand on the table. “Then we shall head in that direction as well!”

“But what of the throne…”

“I still have a son, don't I? Let him deal with it!” The Emperor Emeritus grabbed the Sacred Elder One, shoved him into a carriage, and sped out of the city.

When the news reached Mu Jiuzhou, the elegant master found himself at a loss for words.

However, he possessed many talented disciples. They were more than capable of handling the mundane affairs for him.

The End.
