Chapter 2415 - 2417: Epilogue 3
"By the way, Mother Empress, please also inform my uncle that the Empress was granted to me by Father Emperor as a marriage, and over the years, I have been very satisfied with her, so I have no intention of replacing the Empress. As for Secondary Princess Consort Wan, considering Uncle’s feelings, I will ensure her lifelong prosperity, so there should be no thoughts of anything else."
The Empress Dowager had not yet recovered from her shock when another series of words was thrown at her by the Emperor.
The Situ Family wanted to have another Empress, and she was not unaware of this, and even supported it. The Situ Family was her maiden family, and naturally, she wished for them to flourish for another few decades.
But now, it was clear that this son was not someone she could manipulate.
She knew the capabilities of her son, and she had even thought that perhaps in the future, she might indulge in the pleasure of ruling behind the curtain, but she seemed to have thought too much, as this son was not as brainless as she had imagined.
Watching her leave in a stagger, the Emperor let out a sigh.
He walked to the desk and wrote vigorously.
"Someone come!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Deliver this to Funan as fast as possible on horseback."
"Yes!"
After the person left, he sat in his seat, focusing his mind, and realized that in this position, there was indeed no one he could trust.
As soon as Father Emperor had just passed, his uncle wanted him to replace the Empress, which made him feel uneasy.
As for what thoughts his other brothers harbored, they were certainly not convinced, as each was more intelligent and capable than him.
At this time, Mother Empress came to ask him to kill Ye Zi’an, and what was Mother Empress thinking?
If Ye Zi’an were to go soon after Father Emperor just passed, regardless of whether it was he who killed him in the end, everyone would certainly hold him accountable, and he couldn’t imagine the consequences.
Moreover, he didn’t think Ye Zi’an was greedy for power, otherwise, he wouldn’t have left the court for so many years. His Father Emperor wouldn’t have left such a decree; he couldn’t trust others’ words, but he could trust his Father Emperor’s words.
So compared to others, this cousin was temporarily still considered reliable. He needed to ask his cousin what he should do next.
Funan
Mu Shaoling kicked open the door of the Ye Family, holding two boxes.
"Ye Zi’an, you old fool, where are you?"
At this moment, Ye Zi’an was in the courtyard, placing a flower in Yang Chuxia’s hair.
"Take a look, my dear, does it look good or not?" He handed a mirror to Yang Chuxia.
"The flower is very pretty, but the person isn’t looking so good." Yang Chuxia looked at her hair with distress, "Why am I aging so fast? Look, my hair is all gray."
"Sigh, I won’t wear it, seeing it makes me upset."
Saying this, she reached up and removed the flower from her chignon.
"Nonsense, it looks good." Ye Zi’an placed the flower back in her hand.
"Tsk tsk, can’t the two of you stop being so clingy? You’re at an age where you have one foot in the grave, yet you’re still so sticky, it’s really giving me goosebumps."
If he weren’t holding the two boxes, he would have rolled up his sleeves.
"You’re jealous, aren’t you?" Ye Zi’an glanced at him, "Why are you here again? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come again yesterday?"
Mu Shaoling stiffened his neck and said, "Did I say that? Why don’t I remember? I’m here again today, and I refuse to believe I can’t beat you."
"I’m not playing chess with you. You regret every move three times, it’s annoying."
Yesterday, they played chess, and he gave him many chances, yet he still regretted his moves all the time and still couldn’t win.
In the end, he blamed himself for not letting him win and left in a huff with Dongyang, saying they were breaking off and he would never come to the Ye Family again.
"Today, don’t play chess. Call Dongyang, let’s play mahjong instead."
"What’s that?" He seemed to have never played it before.
