“The six a.s.sa.s.sins have been returned to Prince Ying,” he said in an extremely low voice. “They have all returned, but they did not know that Your Majesty was here. They were unable to report this matter to Your Majesty, so the
Empress Dowager sent me to report it. The person who returned said that Prince Ying was extremely regretful of his actions and even told the Emperor that he had almost committed a grave mistake. He would personally come to the capital to apologize when the time is right.”
When Emperor Hao heard that his uncle regretted it and would apologize, he was happy.
However, just as he was about to celebrate, he heard the person sent by his mother say something else.
“Because of this, the Empress Dowager instructed me to tell the Emperor that if Prince Ying were to kill Prince Yi or come to the Imperial Capital in person to apologize, then it would only show his sincerity. But if he did not, then we should still be weary of him.”
How could he celebrate with such news?
He understood what his mother meant. He was afraid that his uncle might be faking it.
Last time, when he was in the capital, he had talked to his mother about this matter. However, at that time, he had not mentioned anything about letting Prince Yi stay there. Moreover, he had sent people to send the six people who had been captured alive back to his uncle. He had not asked anyone to mention Prince Yi to his uncle. The main reason was that he and his mother wanted his uncle to return to the capital. They were afraid that if they mentioned taking Prince Yi, his uncle would misunderstand and fight back.
He hoped that his uncle could kill Prince Yi.
Even if he didn’t kill Prince Yi, he would still try his best to come back and apologize.
He didn’t expect his uncle to apologize for anything. As long as his uncle dared to make a trip to the Imperial Capital, it would already mean a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to come to the Imperial Capital like this.
“What else did the Empress Dowager say?” Emperor Hao asked.
“The Empress Dowager also said that Your Majesty should return to the capital.”
He had been away from the capital for almost a month. Other than his mother, the Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, and other people who knew the truth, everyone else really thought that he was ill and recuperating. He said that he was to not see anyone and would not attend court.
If he continued to be ill, people would think that he was suffering from some serious illness.
Everyone would be panicking if they thought it was that.
Moreover, it was already the 20th of March. It was not far from the 15th of April when the first letter said that he would fall unconscious. Although he did not know if he would fall unconscious, he would rather not fall unconscious beside Shao Youyue. Shao Youyue would be worried to death if she knew…
Shao Youyue’s stomach was already so big. In four days, she would be nine months pregnant. By the 15th of April, she might have already given birth to the child.. Or not…
In short, he couldn’t do it here.
He agreed that he should return to the capital.
Emperor Hao couldn’t help but look at Shao Youyue. Shao Youyue pretended to not hear anything else, but she heard this sentence. She had already heard he was back, but Shao Youyue still acted like she didn’t hear anything. She slowly flipped through the book and pretended to read it carefully.
He sighed again and turned his head. “Go back and tell the Empress Dowager that I’ll be leaving tomorrow.” He said to the man.
When Shao Youyue heard this, she stopped flipping the book for a moment. Then, she flipped another page and continued to read the contents of the book carefully.
However, only he knew that she had taken in all the information.
“Yes, sir!” That person immediately accepted the order and left.
Emperor Hao was going back to the capital tomorrow, so he had to tell Xue Dafu and the others. Then, he left the house and went to the front..
