Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
His eldest son might have been innocent, but was he not innocent too?
His unfilial sons only thought about seizing his throne and forcing him to abdicate. Why didn’t they realize just how innocent he was in this situation?
He was so enraged that he wanted to kill Qian Jiyun every time he remembered how he tried to force him to abdicate.
However, he had to endure his anger. He could not fall out with the ministers, let alone reveal his involvement with the Luoyang-Shao family.
“Alright, I’ll let the Third Prince investigate this matter. We must investigate the Eldest Prince’s case thoroughly. If the Luoyang-Shao family is really involved, I won’t tolerate it!”
“Your Majesty is wise.”
Upon hearing his words, all the ministers knelt down and exclaimed, “Your Majesty is wise!”
The old Emperor would rather not have these praises. He wished he could call for someone to drag his unfilial third son away and chop him up.
However, he could not do that. The Third Prince was at the peak of his cultivation. If he did anything to him now, the ministers who opposed him would rally to the Third Prince’s side.
However, he had already made up his mind. He would instruct the shadow guards to sever the ties between the Luoyang-Shao family and the Shao family in the capital.
Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue already knew what happened at the imperial court.
Qian Jiyun did not attend the court assembly today because Eldest Brother Yan had returned. He stayed with An Jiuyue in Qiongzhi Courtyard.
An Jiuyue poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qian Jiyun. “Does the old Emperor still think he can help Prince Luoyang rise to power?” she asked softly.
“I think so.” Qian Jiyun chuckled and pursed his lips.
The Luoyang-Shao family became targets after the Eldest Prince’s case implicated the Shao family in the capital.
The old Emperor actually believed that Prince Luoyang still had a chance to sit on the throne?
“He’ll probably send a letter to the Luoyang-Shao family for help,” he said.
“Tsk!” An Jiuyue clicked her tongue. “How did the Emperor get to that position? How can he be so stupid? The Empress Dowager was smarter than him back then, right?”
“He’s stupid because the Empress Dowager is gone,” Qian Jiyun said.
“What do you mean?” An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Qian Jiyun. “You mean the Empress Dowager has been secretly advising the old Emperor all these years?”
If that were the case, it made sense. After all, in her opinion… No, in the eyes of the ministers, their Emperor was extremely stupid.
He was already widely known for his stupidity, but now he even wanted to target the Luoyang-Shao family.
“He wouldn’t have been a match for the old Prince if the Empress Dowager hadn’t supported him back then,” Qian Jiyun explained.
“If the Empress Dowager hadn’t secretly stopped him from doing vicious things all these years, the ministers would have rebelled against him long ago.”
“That’s true. The old Emperor needs someone to advise him from behind. What do you think he’s thinking? He has a son capable of inheriting the throne, but he insists on giving his great empire to the Shao family?”
An Jiuyue shook her head helplessly.
She could not understand what the old Emperor was thinking. Could a few flattering lies from the Luoyang-Shao family truly outweigh his control over this prosperous empire?
“Is he really sure that Prince Luoyang is his son?”
“Uhm…”
Qian Jiyun was stunned by her remark.
