Three days after the Ke Yuehua had awakened, all the dust had settled on this matter. All the officials who were involved with the palace change had been accepted by the Ministry of Justice, waiting to be exiled or on the verge of death.
As for the people of broken sword cliff, they had all been imprisoned in the justice courts. Originally, there had been no follow-up matters at this point, but in the end, the Shi Jinchen had suddenly received the emperor's order to enter the palace.
When Shi Jinchen entered the palace, he discovered that Shi Jinhan was also there, and was kneeling on the ground.
"We pay our respects to royal father!" After the Shi Jinchen had paid respects, they waited for the Emperor to speak, but in the end, the Emperor told him that the Shi Jinhan had demoted him to a concubine.
After hearing what the emperor said, Shi Jinchen looked at him in astonishment, "Royal Brother, why are you doing this?"
"Fourth brother, stop trying to persuade me." I have made up my mind. " The Shi Jinhan was still unmoved.
The emperor walked over to the Shi Jinhan and their side and gently said to them, "Today, we are either the monarch and subject, and are also father and son.
"Father!" Shi Jinhan and Shi Jinchen looked at the emperor excitedly.
After listening to the emperor's words, Shi Jinhan was no longer able to control himself. He lay on the emperor's lap, and his head was buried in pain.
The Emperor had treated the Empress very well before mufei had passed away. Even if mufei had passed away, the Emperor's attitude towards Shi Jinchen was very poor, and so the emperor had not mistreated him. Instead, he taught him based on his talent and placed him in his place.
The emperor was also in tears, revealing a rare deep affection for his father.
"Father, I'm sorry!" Especially Jinchen. Father has let you down for what happened that day. " The attitude of the Emperor Palace during the transformation had deeply harmed the heart of the Shi Jinchen.
But all the pain in his heart, today, a single apology from his father was enough to put down all the grudges and return to the deep love between father and son.
The Emperor held Shi Jinchen and Shi Jinhan in his arms and comforted them by patting their backs. He said benevolently, "Jinhan, can you tell Father why you made such a decision? It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I just want to know what you really think, okay? "
Shi Jinhan raised his head, looked towards the distance with unswerving determination, and said: "Father, Jinchen, this is the result of my careful consideration. When I found out that my mother poisoned me and royal father, I had the same thought. She's my biological mother, how could she be so heartless to kill us all? Is it because of the restoration of the country? Aren't we her kin? "
The emotion that had been concealed within his Shi Jinhan for a long time was vented out today.
"When she died in front of me on the day of the palace change, I wanted to care about nothing. He was my mother, so I could not question her about anything he did, because she was the one who brought me into this world. Just this one rule alone, she was already very great, and I am worthy of being grateful for everything."
Shi Jinhan wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and continued: "I made this decision not only because my mother was a traitor, but also because if I were to inherit the throne, it would attract the doubts of the court, cause chaos in the south summoning, and destroy the century-old foundation of the south summoning. Also, I do not have the ability to govern a country, so I hope father can help me get out of the palace, to a remote place, away from the prosperity of the world, and pray for my mother!"
Shi Jinhan said everything he truly thought in his heart, each and every word he said moved the heart, revealing his true feelings.
The emperor carefully listened to every word that the Shi Jinhan had said and understood his true thoughts. He knew that the emperor truly wanted to leave the palace and pray for his mother.
So the emperor said, "Your filial father knows that. Since you have decided to do this, father can only help you. "But you will always be my father's child. Father hopes that you will come back often to visit this old father of mine."
Shi Jinhan knew, that his father had truly agreed.
Immediately, the tears in his eyes fell uncontrollably, as he held the hand of the Emperor and Shi Jinchen and said, "Father, your child is unfilial. I will definitely come back to see you often in the future. And Jinchen, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I'm sorry. "
Shi Jinchen looked at Shi Jinhan and smiled, smiling to destroy grudges. All the enmity between brothers had disappeared at this moment, what remained was the deep affection between brothers.
"Jin Chen, take good care of father for me if I'm not here in the future." Shi Jinhan sincerely requested Shi Jinchen.
Shi Jinchen held back his hand and said: "Don't worry, Big Brother, I will definitely take good care of Father."
After the two brothers had finished talking, the emperor announced a shocking piece of news.
"I've decided to withdraw early and pass the throne to Jinchen. I've also decided to get Jinchen and Xiao Sui married as soon as possible." The emperor silently made his decision.
"I feel that father has made a very good decision. After this matter, father's body will not be as healthy as before. After retreating, father will be able to peacefully recuperate and live in peace."
"Yes, that's what I think." The emperor was very much in favor of Shi Jinhan's way of speaking.
Shi Jinchen opened his mouth hesitantly, "Father, to retreat to this matter, you still need to be cautious! Furthermore, Father is still willing to let me marry Xiao Sui. Don't Father resent her for what she did that day at Xiao Sui? "
The Emperor smiled indifferently and said, "I don't hate her. She would do that to save my son. Moreover, after you said those words, she was in a dilemma and I could see that she was in pain. In the end, she used her martial arts to find a new way out. I still need to reward her? "
Shi Jinchen looked at the expression on the emperor's face when he spoke; it was a look of complete relief.
"Many thanks to royal father!"
"As for the matter of enthronement, I've already made up my mind. You don't need to say anything more. Tomorrow, I'll issue an order for you to ascend the throne as soon as possible. I've already been sitting as emperor for 30 years. Can you let me live a bit more comfortably?"
When the emperor said the last sentence, he blew his nose and glared with his eyes. His expression was very cute.
Shi Jinchen eventually agreed to the emperor's decision.
After everything was finished, Shi Jinhan followed Shi Jinchen to the Duke Palaces, and decided that today, he would drink until he was drunk with Shi Jinchen.
When Shi Jinchen returned to the Duke Palace, they saw Ke Yuehua making dinner. When they saw Shi Jinhan, they asked him worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Shi Jinhan laughed happily, and said excitedly: "This is the first time Xiao Sui has taken the initiative to take care of me!"
Ke Yuehua was embarrassed from being said, "I hate it!"
Shi Jinchen glared at Shi Jinhan, telling him to speak nicely.
Shi Jinhan obediently said: "Xiao Sui, I'm fine now, I came here to get food, I want to drink with JinChen until I'm drunk."
Shi Jinchen nodded on the side, looking at the two of them in shock. He knew that after this event, the two of them had changed and become better than before.
He said happily, "Alright!"
