Chapter 1126: Promise?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Please, get up.” Emperor Hao quickly helped the person who was kneeling on the ground to get up.

Only after Prince Ying was helped up did Emperor Hao take out the edict left behind by his grandfather and show it to Prince Ying.

His brother left behind a decree before he died? Or was it a decree to spare his life no matter what mistakes he had committed? Prince Ying immediately burst into tears.

He instantly understood why his father had insisted on pa.s.sing the throne to his brother.

Because his father knew that no matter how muddle-headed his brother was, he would still treat him well and not take his life. Even if he was about to die, he would consider his future and even leave behind an edict that his descendants were not allowed to kill him no matter what.

“Father… Brother…” Prince Ying fell to his knees once more, unable to hold back his tears.

The Emperor and Empress Dowager had the edict in their hands. They could have hidden it forever or even destroyed it, but they showed it to him and even handed it to him. It was enough to show their affection for him and believe in his sincerity.

Prince Ying immediately threw the imperial edict left behind by his brother into the cauldron beside him. The cauldron was originally burning with incense, but the moment the edict was thrown in, it immediately began to burst into flames.

“What are you doing?!” Emperor Hao was shocked.

Empress Dowager Yunzi was also very surprised. She had never thought that Prince Ying would burn this edict. She should have taken out the will long ago…

It seemed that Prince Ying did not care about the throne at all.

“Your Majesty.” Prince Yings face was covered in tears as he knelt down before Emperor Hao again. He was so regretful that he began to swear a venomous oath. “If I have any more disobedient thoughts, I will be punished by the heavens and will die a horrible death.’

It was the 27th of April when Jiang Yue and Xue Yan heard that the late Emperor had left behind an edict stating that Prince Ying would be spared no matter what he had done. However, they had known about it early on, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not surprised.

However, when they heard that Prince Ying burned the edict, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were slightly surprised.

Keeping this edict would only benefit Prince Ying.

It is enough to see how regretful Prince Ying is.

It also made Xue Yan somewhat emotional.

In his previous life, if Prince Ying had also known of the existence of this edict, he would no longer have felt a knot in his heart. Perhaps, in his previous life, Prince Ying would not have been so muddle-headed as to disregard the lives of the people and rebel.

It was a pity that his grandmother had died early in his previous life. Not only did she not have the time to hand over the Cloud Guards to anyone, but she also did not have the time to hand over this edict to anyone.

Fortunately, all of this would change in this lifetime.

If Sifu and Princess Jin were to be together again in this life, Princess Jin would not have to hide her ident.i.ty anymore.

“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, let’s go.” Suddenly, Xue Erfu called out to them.

Erfu had already prepared a carriage to send them to the county.

Ye Ziming, the envoy, had thoroughly investigated the matter of the relief of silver and grain in Yiran. All the corrupt officials had been arrested. If they committed a heavy crime, they would be beheaded on the spot. If it was not serious, they would be beheaded after autumn.

Last year, Ye Ziming was ranked second in high school. Many people knew about him, but they were not afraid of him. Now, because of Ye Zimings thunderous methods of being unmoved by persuasion and coercion, he became famous. The corrupt officials were all jittery and their expressions changed.

At this moment, Ye Ziming was in Xinyuan County. He was leaving today to investigate matters elsewhere.

Yiran was only the first place Ye Ziming checked.

Previously, the Emperor had sent Ye Ziming as an envoy to thoroughly investigate the matter of the relief of silver and grain in Da Ling Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both knew about it..
