Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, Dongyu’s two higher-ups wanted Dongyu to be an official. There was nothing wrong with Dongyu’s higher-ups, and they did not expect Dongyu to take care of them in their old age. They only wanted Dongyu to be an official. Even if it was a small title, it was still an official title. Everything else was up to Dongyu. Dongyu had no choice but to remain an official.
Even after he became the Prime Minister and had full authority to handle the government, Dongyu did not want to be promoted.
Dongyu immediately resigned and lived in seclusion in the mountains once his term was over.
He was unrestrained.
“How’s Prince Yi?” Jiang Yue asked what she wanted to know. Xue Yan had said that in her previous life, the second prince, Prince Yi, had succeeded the throne and become the Emperor. Now that the Ji family had fallen, Prince Yi should be implicated.
In his previous life, he drowned the South in misery. The Shao family and the southern army were all killed in battle, and blood flowed like a river. This was not a good thing at all.
“l was just about to talk about him.” Shao Shuting said. “If it wasn’t for the Empress Dowager rushing back to the palace in time, wouldn’t Prince Qing have succeeded? He would have taken Ji Yi and Prince Yi to his fief, and it would be difficult to kill Ji Yi.” Prince Qing?
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s eyes met.
Could it be that in his previous life, this fellow was the one who caused the death of the West General, the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager, and in the end, resulted in his death as well?
“l didn’t expect it either.” Shao Shuting continued, “Apparently, Prince Qing has always liked Ji Yi. He doesn’t have any bad intentions and has a good relationship with the Emperor and Empress Dowager. The Emperor treats him very well. In short, although he has a fief, he doesn’t have to stay there and can enter the palace as he pleases. This time, he used this as an advantage and even faked an imperial edict to bring Ji Yi and Prince Yi out of house arrest. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager just happened to return to the palace and was caught red-handed.”
After hearing these words, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were completely certain that this was what happened.
In her previous life, the Emperor had trusted Prince Qing too much and was probably not on guard against him at all. In this life, they had long sent a letter to the Empress Dowager that the Emperor would fall into a coma and die. The Emperor must have seen this letter. That was why the tragedy in her previous life was avoided.
“Ji Yi was killed by the Empress Dowager,” Shao Shuting continued, “And Prince Qing was demoted to a commoner. However, Prince Qing felt guilty and didn’t have the face to live in this world so he pounced on a guard’s sword and committed suicide.’
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s eyes met again.
He did not expect this man to still die even after all the trouble.
“And Prince Yi,” Shao Shuting continued, “Is actually not the Emperor’s biological son.”
Hearing that, Xue Yan was instantly stunned.
Jiang Yue was also stunned.
So, in his previous life, Prince Yi succeeded the throne, but he wasn’t actually a family member??
Shao Shuting told him about the Ji family’s plan to make the Emperor drunk and stay in the Ji family. The Emperor knew about it in advance and went along with it.
In short, the person who slept with Ji Yi that night was not Emperor Hao.
Xue Yan didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know if it was from an information overload that he could not say anything.
Jiang Yue was very calm. It had nothing to do with her.
Shao Shuting said, “The day the Emperor rewarded them, he had already said this in front of all the officials.’
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other, not expecting Emperor Hao to do this..
