Ji Yan was still immersed in sorrow, with images of Queen Ji before she entered the palace and after she drank the poisoned wine flashing back and forth in his mind, making him feel miserable.

Even though the emperor cursed and hit him like a madman, he did not respond at all.

"Hehe... Ji Yan, I know the hatred in your heart..."

"You hate me for killing Pei'er, you hate me for killing Yu Zhang's wife and children but leaving him alone in pain..."

"You hate that I clearly knew that Yu Zhang might have been wronged, but I still treated him like that..."

The emperor stood in the abandoned palace, trembling like a madman, looking at the dilapidated things around him, breathing in the stale dust and air through his nostrils, his expression painful and hideous.

He also knew that he might have killed the wrong person, but who could tell him how to face the fact that he ordered the poisoning of his wife, the killing of his daughter-in-law and grandson, and cut the tendons of his son's hands and feet?

He doesn't dare!

he can not!

So, he didn't allow anyone to bring it up, and he wanted to make the best of it.

What's more, who has evidence to tell him that these things have nothing to do with Empress Ji and her son?

No!

Because anyone who mentioned this matter would be chopped to death by him!

As time went by, no one stood up for the Ji family, no one cried out for justice for the deposed prince, and he numbly believed that it was the deposed prince who used witchcraft to kill the king, and that they, mother and son, deserved to die.

However, he ruled the world with kindness and spared his life, allowing him to see with his own eyes how he governed the country and how he watched his brother become the crown prince.

"Ji Yan, Ji Yan, why did you bring this up? Why can't you just let it go?"

"We are all old, isn't this good?"

……

The emperor's mood gradually became depressed, and he also followed Ji Yan's example, slowly collapsing on the ground with tears streaming down his face.

Ji Yan adjusted his mood, wiped his tears, climbed up and knelt in front of the emperor, and kowtowed three times: "I have been with the emperor since I was young, doing homework for the emperor, reciting for the emperor, and taking punishment for the emperor..."

"When Your Majesty was ten years old, you saw Pei'er and said that I would marry this girl when she reached the age of marriage. When I returned to the palace, I would ask for your permission."

"The emperor also said, Ji Yan, don't worry, I will spoil her, love her, and love her children, and that will never change. You, her brother, will take care of her at home, and I will take care of her for you in the future..."

"You did it. You married her, loved her, and doted on her. You made her the queen and the mother of the country. You made her son the crown prince, taught him carefully, and doted on him..."

"But Your Majesty, the people you loved were all framed and killed unjustly!"

"The account book is the evidence. The current crown prince worked in the Ministry of Revenue, and his uncle was the Minister of Revenue. The person who exposed the corruption case was the crown prince's man, and the person who reported the witchcraft and regicide was also the crown prince's man..."

The last sentence was his bet!

Since it is certain that both things were done by the prince, then the people who did these things must naturally be tied to the prince.

Regardless, whether it is true or not.

Ji Yan now has only one goal, which is to overturn the verdicts for the deceased Queen Ji and the deposed Crown Prince.

He gave it all!

After all, who can really guess what the emperor is thinking?

Especially, the mad emperor!

Therefore, Ji Yan took advantage of the emperor's inner longing and memories of Empress Ji and struck while the iron was hot.

"Your Majesty, I am dying, and I don't want to be ashamed to see Pei'er again after I die!"
