Emperor Wei Lhuo's cremation ceremony was finally completed. The people began to leave the Imperial Palace one by one. Although their hearts still ache over all this, they realized that later they too would be like the Emperor.
The sun that had been covered in black clouds began to slowly open. The sound of wild animals that were once quiet began to crowded again.
It was as if they knew about the sadness felt by everyone. The beasts were trying to entertain the people there in their own way. No exception to nature, even though the sun shines bright today, but nature provides a cool air that calms the soul.
If before the passing of the creami ceremony the Emperor of heaven and earth seems to grieve. Now they all seem to be trying to comfort people in their own way in order to get rid of suffering, and then to bring joy.
The atmosphere within the Imperial Palace was still very different. Really, this atmosphere is so awkward. It looks like the luxurious chair that was usually sat by the Emperor is now empty. The owner left him without saying goodbye.
The empress still looked sad as she looked at the luxurious seat her beloved husband used to occupy. She immediately ran towards her room as the shadow of her beloved husband began to be seen in her chair.

Time went by quickly, not feeling a week had passed since the departure of the Emperor. The higher-ups of the Imperial Palace held a meeting to appoint Wei An as the successor of his father. Understandably, the Emperor's children were not mad of possessions and rank. So there is no conflict as often happens in other regions.
They are very well educated, so that when they grow up they become young men who are dreamed by all women, even parents hope that later their children can become like Wei An and Wei Li.
All the Emperor's families were known to be very close to his subjects. Including their children. They do not feel arrogant and embarrassed when on the road meet people who just want to shake hands with him. Although the position is as different as heaven and earth, but for them everyone is the same, only the position distinguishes it.
Inside the meeting room were Empress Mu Rong, Wei An, Wei Li, Councillor Mu, and other dignitaries. Including the heads of the alliance elders also attended the meeting. Only Shin Shui wasn't there. Besides not being known far, the reason Shin Shui was not invited was because he was an outsider they did not know in detail.
"Your counsel, until when will the Emperor's seat be left vacant?" empress Mu Rong asked opened the conversation.
"Obviously, not for too long. Because, if left too long it could be a disaster to return to us at this time," replied Your advisor.
"When do you think it's the right time to appoint An'er as my late husband's successor?" the Empress asked Counselor Mu Ying.
"According to the servant faster is better. Because we must not leave the position of Emperor vacant for a long time. This situation could have attracted more attention of people who intend to take power. According to the servant three more days is the right time, so that we can prepare everything from now on," said your Advisor.
"Hemmm .. alright, I will follow your proposal." replied the Empress.
"Does everyone agree on what your Advisor proposes?" ask the Queen to all who are present.
"We all agree" they replied in unison.
"Li'er, are you able to accept this fact that your brother will be the successor of your father to become an Emperor?" the Empress asked Wei Li.
"I am very accepting of my mother. An'gege is definitely more deserving than me. I believe An'gege can lead as well as his late father. I will continue to support her." replied Wei Li.
Hearing that answer, the Empress and the others smiled proudly. In addition to obeying the rules, it was very clear that from the words of Wei Li there was no resentment towards her brother.
