“l think that her thoughts were justified too. Anyway, that’s it for now.” Speaking up to this point, Emperor Hao sighed. Then, he continued. “Xue Yan, there’s one more thing that I have to tell you. At least you should be mentally prepared. ”
Although Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not speak, they both felt that the Emperor was talking about abdicating.
He had talked to him about this before and thought that it would take at most a year and a half before it happened.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Emperor Hao said, “I’m a useless Emperor. It’s too difficult for me to guard the ancestral inheritance. I’ve used all my strength to barely be able to face Da Ling and the people.
“Now, your ability as the Crown Prince has far surpassed mine, unlike me who sometimes needs your Grandmother’s guidance… Forget it, I believe you understand where I’m trying to go with this.
“You’re smart, so I won’t say anything else. I’ll just say that if l, your father, want to abdicate and hand the throne to you in advance, it’ll probably be in a year and a half at most.”
After saying that, he looked at his son.
Xue Yan sighed softly before nodding and replying, “Alright.”
“Were you expecting this?” he asked anxiously. Otherwise, why would his son and Jiang Yue be so calm?
However, before Xue Yan could answer, he smiled and said awkwardly, “With a useless father like me, I’m sure you could have easily connected the dots and-n
Xue Yan shook his head quickly, indicating that he disagreed.
No matter what, his father was a good Emperor.
Jiang Yue still listened calmly without saying a word.
When Emperor Hao saw his son like this, he sighed again.
“l didn’t tell your mother about this, lest she think about it. Oh right, I plan to leave for the capital after breakfast tomorrow. I’ll tell your parents that I’m going overseas to do business again and can’t just sit that long.
“I’ll come back for a year at most, regardless of whether 1 earn a lot of money outside or not. 1 reckon that by that time, the three-story house next door will have been built and your mother will have moved in. I will live with your mother in that house and retire here. I quite like the life here. Your mother also quite likes it.”
Without waiting for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to speak, Emperor Hao stood up and said, ” Alright, 1 will quickly go and tell them before they go to bed. If I only tell them tomorrow morning, it would be too rude and rushed.”
As he spoke, he opened the door and went to look for Xue Dafu and the others.
“Father.” The moment Xue Yan saw, he hurriedly stood up too.
Jiang Yue was still too young. She could only slide down from the stool before she could step on the ground and stand up. She looked at the Emperor.
Emperor Hao looked at the two children and knew they had something to say, so he stopped in his tracks.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked at each other before asking, “About Prince
Ying…”
However, just as he opened his mouth, Emperor Hao sighed, “I know. However, I promised your Grandmother that I wouldn’t tell anyone for the time being.”
With that, he opened the door.
Only when they saw Emperor Hao leave to look for Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan look at each other again.
In their eyes, it was written that the Emperor did not say anything.
Then this meant that they had no way of knowing what was going on inside.
As for Zou Yi and the others… They didn’t need to worry. If they couldn’t stay in Jingyue because of Prince Yings purge, they would have no choice but to retreat..
