Chapter 562: Chapter 563 Truly in Love

She understood her son’s feelings, but she would never allow him to act so recklessly.

How could the right to the throne be relinquished so easily? Since Huangfu Yaoyang ascended the throne, the country had been steadily rising. Its economic strength and military power were increasing day by day, as was its influence on the international stage.

At such a time, Huangfu Jue’s sudden abdication would inevitably cause unnecessary turmoil and trigger a series of chain reactions.

"I’m not being impulsive," said Huangfu Jue, his expression calm, "I’ve thought about this matter for a long time. Even if I can’t inherit the throne, there’s still Xiaoqi..."

"You are the eldest son, that’s the rule. If you give up your right to succession, the regency will fall to your father’s cousin, and you know he is not a suitable candidate for King."

"Haven’t you always said that rules are meant to be broken? Xiaoqi has the capability..."

"So..." Leng Xiaoye interrupted him, "to protect Gan Yuan, you are willing to neglect your country and your people?"

Breaking rules, how easy could it be?

That was the law, a succession principle passed down for hundreds of years. How could it be changed so easily?

In a single sentence, Leng Xiaoye left Huangfu Jue at a loss for words.

That woman had given up so much for him; he couldn’t let her face these pressures anymore.

Yet, his parents’ expectations and the support of his people over so many years—if he chose to give up the throne, that would be a betrayal to them.

The nation and love, difficult to have both, what should he do?

"Xiaojue!" Leng Xiaoye raised her hands, placing them on Huangfu Jue’s shoulders, "I’ll talk to Littleyuan, I think she will understand. Right now, this is the only way, you just need to temporarily shift the responsibility to Gan Yuan. I guarantee with my personal integrity, I will do whatever it takes to bring you two together."

"No!" Facing his mother’s gaze, Huangfu Jue gently shook his head, "For six years, I haven’t fulfilled my duties as a father and husband. Now, I absolutely won’t let her bear the burden for me. Please give me some more time to think, half an hour, I just need half an hour. If I can’t come up with another way, I will talk to her myself."

Shifting the responsibility to Gan Yuan was easier said than done—it meant he had to give up his engagement with her, otherwise, these old men would never let her off the hook.

After several seconds of silence, Leng Xiaoye spoke softly.

"In reality, you’re more aware that we have no other choice at this moment!" Looking at her son, Leng Xiaoye was both helpless and heartbroken, "If you two truly love each other, then nothing can separate you!"

...

...

Outside the door.

Gan Yuan felt her heart being wrenched.

He pampered her, indulged her, showered her with meticulous love, and even at this point, he was still protecting her...

But what about her?

Apart from causing him worries, adding trouble, and bringing upon him many dangers... what else had she given him?

Her hand hanging in mid-air gradually retracted, she pressed her lips together, resolutely turned around, returned to the bedroom, picked up her clothes, and walked into the bathroom.

Moments later, she came out again, her clothes and hair neatly arranged.

Approaching the bedside, she glanced at her son who was still sleeping soundly, bent down to kiss his forehead gently, grabbed the backpack on the table, and walked to the door.

Looking at her son’s profile, she turned around and walked swiftly into the corridor, ascending the stairs.

"Miss Gan?!" The guards saw her, all with complex expressions, "There are many people at the door, you... it’s best you don’t show your face."
