Chapter 372: General amnesty (1)
Translator: 549690339
The team from the capital came to the barren capital in a mighty manner.
The city gate of the barren city was wide open. The people in the outer city didn’t know what had happened. They only knew that the noble people in the inner city, who were rarely seen on normal days, were kneeling in front of the street.
Mrs. Xia stood in front of the door and kept wiping her tears.
“I thought I couldn’t go back. A few days ago, your maternal grandfather sent a letter saying that the first Prince had asked for a decree to grant Amnesty to the world several times, but His Majesty had brushed it off.”
In the past, no one could pass through the sneaky and evil Lin of the fog sect.
Lin Guangming of the mist sect had long been wiped out by the hall of salvation.
The Xia family’s letter arrived immediately.
Xia Shi watched with tears in her eyes, feeling guilty and remorseful. She could only hope to return to the capital as soon as possible to be filial to her parents.
“Until … His Highness the Crown Prince has awoken.” Xia Shi remembered that when she saw the news in the letter, she almost fainted.
Thinking that there was no hope of returning to the palace, the barren capital was quiet for a long time. During those days, people everywhere in the city drank to drown their sorrows.
Unexpectedly, the Imperial edict still came.
Everyone watched as the Imperial edict entered the city Lord’s Manor. Madam Xia had already packed up and was pulling Lulu and Jiang Huai ‘an towards the Yang residence. The gatekeeper already knew the three of them, so he entered without even needing a token.
The Yang family had already burned incense, bathed, and changed their clothes, waiting in the main courtyard.
No one cared about Madam Xia kneeling outside the courtyard door and Jiang huailu sitting cross-legged on the ground.
A eunuch dressed in eunuch’s clothing looked around with an air of superiority.
Everyone had heard of this eunuch.
Lu Chen was the Crown Prince’s number one eunuch.
He was even given the surname Lu by His Highness as a sign of trust.
This was clearly an opportunity for the Crown Prince to win over the guilty officials, but it was Lu Chen who came. The person in front of the Crown Prince.
This made one think deeply.
“By the will of the heavens, the Emperor decrees … The world-saving Hall of the barren capital was famous for saving the people from fire and water, which was a great deed in the world. It’s the world’s fortune that His Highness huaijiang woke up after being in a coma for several months …”
Lu Chen read out a long string of words and only after everyone knelt down and felt their legs go numb did they finally understand.
The first Prince had not been able to get an Imperial edict for a long time, and his Highness had come out after waking up.
Anyone would understand that this was probably the Crown Prince’s approval. The guilty official, who had thought that there was no hope for His Highness to wake up, almost cried tears of joy.
Imperial concubine Lin’s Amnesty had become a celebration for the awakening of the world.
Everyone faintly understood that as long as Lu huaijiang was alive, the palace, the capital, and the world would still belong to him.
If he, Lu huaijiang, did not wake up, His Majesty would not even dare to issue an Imperial edict.
Lu Chen’s eyes revealed a hint of arrogance. It was not that His Majesty did not dare to step out. It was the Jade seal, which had been in His Highness’s custody since a few years ago. Your Majesty, I don’t have the Jade seal to stamp.
Lu Chen’s brows revealed a hint of melancholy.
No one knew where His Highness had hidden the Jade seal, but he had only said that it would be returned to the throne soon. Fortunately, he had prepared a lot of blank edicts before, otherwise, he was afraid that this trip to the barren capital would not succeed.
After the head eunuch finished reading, he said, “receive the decree and thank your grace.” His Highness is kind and can’t bear to see all of you waste your lives in the barren capital. He specially requested for a general pardon. A few of the old ministers have even been reinstated, and I hope that everyone will remember Your Highness’s kindness.”
The eunuch’s voice was shrill, and his eyes were haughty. City Lord yang crawled to his feet, solemnly accepted the Imperial edict with both hands, and went to the incense table.
Mrs. Xia knelt on the edge, tightly holding the hands of her children.
A large tear fell from her eye.
That vicious and cruel tyrant had actually agreed to grant Amnesty to the world!
The heavens have eyes, and the emperor’s grace is vast.
Jiang huailu touched his ears suspiciously.. His ears were hot and red, and he felt like someone was talking about him!
