Chapter 812: Ruling the Country

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With his body condition, he would need someone to a.s.sist him. Xue Yan could govern the country. Even if he didn’t know martial arts, he could still stabilize the country. He was the best candidate for ruling the country.

In his previous life, although he knew that Xue Yan was actually Crown Prince

Shu, he didn’t kill Xue Yan because he saw that Xue Yan was able to govern the country and was more talented than others.

However, he had always been afraid that Xue Yan would find out about his past.

In his previous life, the Supreme Court official had accidentally discovered that Xue Yan was Crown Prince Shu. He invited Xue Yan to a banquet and wanted to let Xue Yan know, but fortunately, Xue Yan did not get the chance to find out. He was afraid that Xue Yan already knew, so when he ordered people to wash the Supreme Court official’s family in blood, he also killed Xue Yan.

Who knew that the Supreme Court official had risked his life to protect Xue Yan, and Xue Yan did not die. He also discovered that the Supreme Court official had not had the time to inform Xue Yan of all this, so he naturally continued to keep Xue Yan by his side.

He even made the Grand Tutor the scapegoat to stop Xue Yan from continuing the investigation.

It could be said that in his previous life, after he had made up his mind to use Xue Yan, he had practically only done one thing, and that was to hand over everything that could be handed over to Xue Yan to handle. He wanted to let the world and Xue Yan know how much he trusted Xue Yan and how well he treated Xue Yan.

Xue Yan didn’t know his own background and was grateful for his kindness in knowing him, and also grateful for the trust bestowed upon him. Naturally, he was very loyal to the emperor.

Everyone in the world knew that he was good to Xue Yan. If Xue Yan dared to betray him, it would just mean that Xue Yan was unappreciative of his kindness. This could also be considered as a method to prevent Xue Yan from rebelling.

Moreover, Xue Yan could not do anything rebellious either.

The Shao family’s blood also flowed in Xue Yan’s body.

Even if the Shao Family did not recognize him as the Emperor, they would never betray Da Ling and would not do anything to rebel.

However, because he knew that Xue Yan was Crown Prince Shu, he still couldn’t feel completely at ease. Therefore, even when he was about to die, he still secretly left a posthumous edict for his son, telling him that Xue Yan must die when the great cause was accomplished.

If Xue Yan could not be used by him in this life, then he could only kill him.

Therefore, he would observe what the situation was for now before deciding whether to keep or kill him.

Consort Yi noticed that her son had suddenly stopped talking and seemed to be thinking about something. She felt that something was wrong with her son. In the past, this son of hers would act like a child. Now, she felt that this son of hers was more cunning than her father. However, she could still tell that this was her child no matter what. Even if his personality had changed, he was still her son. She did not ask any more questions and left in a hurry.

She had to find Prince Qing quickly.

After leaving Prince Yi’s place, Consort Yi had to pa.s.s by the garden. She happened to see Prince Qing standing alone in the garden with his hands behind his back. He looked up and sighed.

Consort Yi was naturally overjoyed to find him, thinking that the heavens were guiding her.

Just now, Prince Qing was pleading for Wei Zizhan in the royal study. Emperor Hao did not listen at all and even wanted to educate Wei Zizhan properly. He even asked Prince Qing to leave and not care about this matter.

Prince Qing had no choice but to come out.

However, he didn’t know where to go. His mother wasn’t around either, so he decided to come to the garden to get some fresh air.

How could he have known that he would encounter such a thing the moment he came back? His nephew, whom he had just found, was very foolish, but it also made sense as to why because he was just a child.

They will all be sensible and well-behaved one day.

He had been very naughty and childish when he was young. He did whatever he wanted without caring about the consequences.

He was not the Crown Prince, nor was he the Emperor, but his brother was different. His brother carried many things on his shoulders. He had to be sensible and well-behaved since he was young. He had to carry many responsibilities. Therefore, he had to be so strict with the Crown Prince who had just been found not long ago..
