Chapter 977 - 977: The Way of the Emperor

Xue Yan did not look anxious or impatient. Instead, he looked extremely calm and steadfast. Looking at the scene, Empress Dowager Yunzi naturally became more and more satisfied with this grandson of hers

Her satisfaction was beyond words.

“Crown Prince, come over quickly. Let me take a good look at you.” Empress Dowager Yunzi’s face was filled with kindness as she waved at Xue Yan.

“Yes, Grandmother.” Xue Yan agreed, then walked to the side of the kang.

Only then did Empress Dowager Yunzi size up Xue Yan from top to bottom. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. She was starting to recognize her grandson, this was the heir apparent of Da Ling.

“You’ve suffered outside all these years.” Empress Dowager Yunzi said.

“It was more than enough for me. Father and Mother treated me very well.”

Empress Dowager Yunzi sighed. “l know that they are good to you. If it wasn’t for them being good to you, I wouldn’t have asked the Minister of Justices not to disturb them when they were carrying out their investigation.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“Even through it all, you’re still the Crown Prince of Da Ling. You will eventually have to go back to the capital city. You have to tell them as soon as possible and say goodbye to them properly.”

“Please forgive me, Grandmother, but I don’t want to say goodbye to them.”

“What…” Empress Dowager Yunzi looked at him deeply. “What do you mean?”

The Imperial Censor and the Minister of Justice also didn’t understand the implications and looked at Xue Yan with worry.

Xue Yan was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he took two steps back and knelt down before Empress Dowager Yunzi. “Grandmother, they are my family. I will not leave them.”

He had already knelt down and looked on the ground; which showed his determination.

Jiang Yue continued to watch quietly without saying anything. This matter could be settled by Xue Yan, there was no need for her to step in.

Empress Dowager Yunzi smiled kindly. “l am not so foolish. I understand that you grew up in their family and have deep feelings for each of them. If you don’t want to leave them, you can just bring them to the imperial Capital. No one will go against your wishes because you’ve acknowledged them. They can still be your family. Your father isn’t a muddle-headed person, he would agree as well.’

“Everything my parents have has been built here. I don’t want them to give up everything for me and go to the capital city with me.” In his previous life, his family had given up too many things for him. In this life, he did not want his family to give up anything for him.

Moreover, his mother, who had almost suffered for him for two lifetimes, was also here.

His worries and hopes were all here, not in the Imperial Capital.

Moreover, his mother did not want to return to the palace and was quite resistant to this matter. Otherwise, she would not have been sent here by Shao Shuting.

He had also heard that his mother had been against this matter and had even said that she did not want to be the Empress.

“Then do you want to stay here?” Empress Dowager Yunzi frowned.

Xue Yan nodded. “Temporarily. Mother is here too. She can’t return to the capital city for the time being.”

“But you’re different. You’re the Crown Prince. You have to go back immediately- ”

Before Empress Dowager Yunzi could finish, she was cut off by Shao Zhongxi.

Shao Zhongxi bowed and said, “The Crown Prince knows what it means to be the Emperor, the way of governing the country, and the way of stabilizing the country. When the Crown Prince was studying in Shengming Academy, he was already incomparable to others. I hope Empress Dowager can understand his decisions.’

He was trying to say that Xue Yan didn’t need to return to the capital immediately to learn these things.

It also implied that Xue Yan knew how to be a good Emperor.

Jiang Yue looked at Shao Zhongxi in surprise. It turned out that Xue Yan had managed to win over Shao Zhongxi’s heart..
