Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

The Second Prince did not say anything, but just stared at Concubine Shu, his eyes filled with hatred, sadness, anger and a hint of grievance.

He was only eighteen years old and had lived for eighteen years, but he was told that he had been a pawn of his mother for eighteen years. His mother had never truly loved him for a single day and even felt sick just looking at him.

The most horrifying thing is that this came from his own mother.

If someone else said this, he could still comfort himself that this person was trying to sow discord between them mother and son.

But this is what his mother said...

He didn't know how he would face his mother.

The emperor watched this scene and perhaps felt sorry for his own children.

Although the two children of Concubine Shu were uneducated and caused her a lot of worries, they did not do anything harmful after all.

"Lai Fu, bring the imperial edict." Lai Fu hurried to get it.

In this dim secret room, the emperor wrote two imperial edicts with his pen.

The first imperial decree:

The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Now, the Second Prince, Yun Mingxu, is conferred the title of Prince of Ning, and his fief is Nanzhang Prefecture. Now that the Second Prince has been conferred the title, he shall go to his fief immediately, and shall guard the land diligently and perform his duties conscientiously.

Nanzhang Prefecture is an important place. I hope you can govern it calmly and keep the territory and the people safe. You must not act arrogantly and recklessly. You must obey the laws of the country and be a minister. From now on, you should take the responsibility of the fiefdom seriously and do not fail my trust.

Admire this!

Yan Nansheng looked at the imperial edict and felt grateful that his father had given the second prince a chance to survive.

Without the support of the powerful concubines in the harem and the support of his maternal family, he really couldn't stay in the capital.

The second imperial decree:

By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor issued an edict: "The words and deeds of Concubine Shu were inappropriate, her speech was rude, and she was unworthy of a concubine. She was demoted to Zhaoyi to serve as a warning to others."

Considering their past friendship, Zhaoyi was allowed to accompany Prince Ning to Nanzhang Prefecture, his fiefdom. After this, she could not return to the capital in her lifetime, and should reflect on her past and cultivate her character.

Prince Ning should restrain Zhaoyi's words and deeds and not let her do whatever she wants. I hope you will obey the emperor's orders and do your duty.

This is it.

After writing these two imperial edicts, the emperor stood up and left the secret room.

The emperor didn't say a word along the way, and Eunuch Lai Fu looked at him worriedly.

Your Majesty's health has not yet fully recovered, and he has experienced the betrayal of the concubines in the harem. His physical condition is really worrying.

In the secret room, the second prince Yun Mingxu looked at the imperial edict in his hand with mixed feelings.

He knew this was his only way out.

Leaving the capital and going to the fiefdom might offer a glimmer of hope.

But how should he face his mother?

The woman who once treated him as a chess piece is now going to the fiefdom with him.

The resentment in his heart was hard to dissipate, but there was also a hint of complicated emotions.

He didn't know whether he should hate her or forgive her.

The fifth prince held tightly onto the second prince's clothes. He didn't know what the future would be like, but he knew that he didn't want to leave his brother and mother.

He was afraid of facing the unknown and afraid of losing them.

Shufei looked at her two children, her heart filled with guilt and helplessness.

She knew that what she had done had hurt them.

However, it was too late to say anything now. She could only hope that they could live a good life in the future and not repeat her mistakes.

I was lucky enough to be able to leave this cage alive...

As the imperial edict was issued, there was a stir in the palace.

Everyone was discussing the fate of Concubine Shu and the future of the Second Prince.

Some people felt sorry for Concubine Shu, while others thought she deserved it.

As for the second prince, some people sympathized with his situation, while others were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

While preparing to leave for his fiefdom, the Second Prince Yun Mingxu fell into deep thought.

He began to reflect on his past and think about his future.

He understood that he could no longer be as paranoid and impulsive as before.

In the fiefdom, he had to learn to be calm and manage the land. He had to prove that he was not a pawn, but a capable person.

During this time, Concubine Shu also tried to adjust her mentality. She knew that she could no longer indulge in the regrets of the past.

She wants to live well for her children.

She will do her best to make up for the harm she has done to the children.

The fifth brother is still in the capital. Only if she and the second brother sincerely repent and live a stable and wealthy life can the fifth brother get the protection of the Crown Princess.

These two imperial edicts caused an uproar in the court the next day.

Although the court officials were all puzzled, none of them gave too much encouragement to Concubine Shu, or now Concubine Wang Zhaoyi, to plead for Prince Ning.

After all, most of the court officials were the third prince, who had been outstanding among the princes since childhood.

Only a few neutral old ministers spoke a few more words on behalf of the Second Prince.

Princess House.

It has been a day since Aunt Jiang and Xia Sheng were taken back to the princess's mansion by Yan Nansheng. However, they are still immersed in the huge shock and have not fully recovered.

Although Yan Nansheng felt reluctant, she also understood that such an experience might not be entirely a bad thing for them.

At least, the resentment and dissatisfaction that had long accumulated in my heart finally had an outlet to express.

Looking at the miserable daughter of their enemy, they may find some comfort in their hearts.

After all, life must go on and they cannot be tortured by hatred forever.

Although Yun Zhaoyi was innocent, her feelings still touched the softest corner of Aunt Jiang's heart.

Although Aunt Jiang showed strong hatred at that time, Yan Nansheng keenly caught the hidden heartache in her eyes.

As for Xia Sheng, although he did not personally experience the tragic experience of his parents, the impact of the truth almost broke the young man.

He should have been a handsome man, living a life of wealth and luxury, but the reality was that he had been struggling on the brink of starvation since birth and suffered all the sufferings of the world.

Fortunately, he has a great aunt, and now he has relatives and is no longer an orphan...

Xia Sheng looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess sitting at the top with mixed feelings.

Aunt Jiang was also filled with emotion.

Although the wound in my heart was opened again and the pain was unbearable, it was not without benefit.

The necrotic flesh was dug out, and their lives finally had hope of continuing.

Yan Nansheng stood up slowly, Linglong took out a package from the side and handed it to Yan Nansheng.

Yan Nansheng walked to Aunt Jiang and said, "I want to open a vegetarian restaurant in the town in the south. Aunt Jiang, please bring people over to look after it for me."

"Oh, by the way, take all the children from the orphanage with you. They don't want to leave you."

Aunt Jiang took the package from Yan Nansheng with both hands, raised her eyes and looked at the Crown Princess, who had the most noble status in the Daqing Dynasty except the emperor, her eyes were full of complicated emotions.

"I thank Your Highness!" As she said this, she was about to kneel down and pay her respects.

Yan Nansheng quickly supported her, "Aunt Jiang, I'm sorry, please don't blame me..."

Aunt Jiang stood up and looked at Yan Nansheng, "How could I blame Your Highness? It was Your Highness who gave me hope of living again. I will run the vegetarian restaurant with my children to thank Your Highness for his kindness."

Aunt Jiang took Xia Sheng and the children from the orphanage and set off for the town in the south.
