When a "Sea King" is Bound to a System [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 63.2.1

Hesitating, the hand holding the Imperial Edict trembled slightly. None of the ministers rose, seemingly engaged in a test of patience with her.

Qin Xu and Baili Qi entered and slowly walked to her, then knelt down.

“We request His Majesty to ascend the throne,” Baili Qi’s voice was hoarse but utterly sincere.

She had a few minor injuries, but they were superficial and did not appear to be serious.

Qin Xu smiled as she looked at Jiang Yan and said, “Ninth Sister—no, I should call you Your Majesty now—you must not hesitate any longer. Among the Royal Father’s children, there is no one more suitable to inherit the throne than you. If you do not ascend, I fear the States of Chen and Chu will attack tomorrow.”

Seeing that she could not refuse, Jiang Yan closed her eyes and accepted it. However, she still kept a condition in mind, weakly asking Qin Ge, “Imperial Uncle, if there is someone more suitable to be the Emperor than me, can I abdicate the throne to him?”

Qin Ge considered briefly and agreed to her request. After all, there was no one truly suitable to be the Emperor among the current members of the Imperial Family.

Jiang Yan calculated: if Wanqirong’s newly born Prince was properly nurtured, he would only need about ten years to mature. For these ten years, she would manage the State of Qin for him and hand it over once he came of age.

Jiang Yan gazed at that position, suddenly feeling the burden on her shoulders become much heavier. She walked step by step towards the Imperial Throne and finally stood before the Dragon Chair, addressing the multitude kneeling below: “Esteemed ministers, today I ascend as the new Emperor. In the future, I will rely on all of you. I hope that our ruler and ministers will be united in purpose, making the State of Qin even stronger and ultimately unifying the continent!”

“Long live our Emperor, ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years!”
