Baili Kai divorced Luo Yiyun before Ou Lan ascended to become the Queen, and promptly announced the news, primarily for Ou Lan's sake.
He didn't want her to face Luo Yiyun's sabotage and harassment after becoming Queen, or to have the issue resurface.
Now, regardless of whether the public is willing to accept his divorce, he bears the burden himself, and it won't affect Ou Lan at all.
Fortunately, the public welcomed it, and the event didn't cause much of a stir.
Most of the media did not criticize the Royal Family; they were mocking Luo Yiyun.
Nevertheless, Baili Kai didn't want a Royal Family divorce scandal to be endlessly spun in the media; it's not an honorable matter. So he quickly issued another statement.
He announced his abdication, citing ill health and a need for rest.
Ou Lan naturally succeeded to the throne.
The date for the enthronement ceremony was also set.
The public was once again excited, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the ceremony.
