Emperor Hao’s heart sank when he heard this. He sighed and said, “Logically speaking, the evidence of Prince Ying wanting to assassinate Niother is conclusive. His disloyalty is no different from being exposed to such a vile action. He should be severely punished and kicked out.
“However, Mother, the commoners are already restless. If he was punished, wouldn’t he raise an army to rebel? Prince Ying has ruled over Jing Yue for nearly fifty years. The land in Jing Yue is vast and fertile, and the people live in contentment.
“Prince Yings estate has many extraordinary people, and all of them are more loyal to Prince Ying than anyone else. Once the flames of war are ignited in Da Ling, the first to suffer will be my people.

Father used to have a strong relationship with him. If Father was still alive, he would definitely want to resolve as peacefully as possible as long as he doesn’t do it again.
“Besides, Emperor Yi must have been the one who instigated this. Prince Ying had no such intentions. Mother, you saw it for yourself before this. Prince
Ying has always been very obedient and has not done anything out of line.”
“Emperor Y is really evil. It was my son’s fault back then, letting that man go.
This is why we are in this disastrous state.”
Empress Dowager Yunzi sighed as well. “Since we are a heartless family, why do we value relationships so much? If we don’t have the seed of love, we value kinship.”
Emperor Hao was not only an infatuated person, but he was also someone who valued kinship. However, his mother’s words clearly had a hidden meaning.
“What do you mean about that?”
“It’s about time I told you the truth.” Empress Dowager Yunzi sighed.
Seeing his mother being so serious, Emperor Hao’s expression became even colder, “Keep going…”
Empress Dowager Yunzi nodded. She could not help but sigh again. Then, she said, “Your grandfather actually left behind a decree.” As she spoke, she took out a bright yellow imperial edict from her sleeve and handed it to her eldest son.
This was something she had taken out from the secret chamber after she returned to her bedroom.
Emperor Hao was extremely surprised that his grandfather left behind a decree. He still respectfully received it with both hands.

“You’re right about everything. If he was still alive, he would not fight against his own family. He would have the same attitude as you and would not touch Prince Ying.
“This is also the reason why this imperial edict has never been taken out. Your father doesn’t need this. I’m getting old and can’t keep this decree for too long. I’ll leave this decree for you to keep. The meaning of the decree is very clear.
“Open it and you’ll understand. No matter what Prince Ying has done, Prince
Ying must be spared.”
When Emperor Hao heard this, he hurriedly opened the edict left behind by his grandfather. Sure enough, this was what it meant.
“Back then, your great-grandfather passed the throne to your grandfather but not to your uncle. Presumably, this was his intention to make sure that everything would pass by peacefully. He knew that even if your grandfather was muddle-headed, he would never kill his own younger brother. He knew it might not go both ways though.” Empress Dowager Yunzi sighed and closed her eyes.
Sometimes, she wished she never married into royalty. It was too tiring to be involved in so much politics..
