Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After sitting down, Emperor Yan turned to look at Li Wan.
Seeing that Li Wan wasn’t looking at him, he smiled and opened a box on the table.
Then, he took out an imperial edict.
Seeing this, Li Wan moved.
She looked at the imperial edict in Emperor Yan’s hand.
“It’s indeed my fault for what happened to the Nangong family,” Emperor Yan said.
“You want me to issue an edict to clear the name of the Nangong family. 1 will grant you your wish.”
After saying that, Emperor Yan handed the imperial edict to Li Wan.
Li Wan quickly took it.
Her hands were still trembling.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan reached out and patted Li Wan’s back.
“Open it. If you are satisfied, I will bring it to the morning court to read it out.”
He had already arranged for the morning court session to be postponed.
All because he had to fulfill his promise to his eldest son.
His eldest son had already agreed to his three conditions.
Moreover, he had also seen Consort Shu, so he had no regrets.
Li Wan was shocked.
She looked at Emperor Yan.
Seeing Emperor Yan’s sincere expression, she opened the imperial edict.
After reading the imperial edict, Li Wan felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off her chest.
It was indeed an edict to punish oneself. Once this edict was announced to the public, the Nangong Clan’s injustice would be washed away.
“Many thanks, Your Majesty.” Li Wan said as she put away the imperial edict. Her thoughts were in a mess.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan handed the jade pendant in his hand to Li Wan again.
“If Qing’er doesn’t want it, you can keep it.”
Li Wan looked at the jade pendant in her hand.
Finally, she didn’t refuse.
Then, Emperor Yan began to recall the past.
Even though Li Wan didn’t respond to him, she still had a smile on his face, reminiscing with relish.
Two hours later, Eunuch Dahu came in and reminded Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan finally stopped talking.
“I know, go wait outside.” He said to Eunuch Dahu.
After Eunuch Dahu left, Emperor Yan looked at Li Wan again.
“Wanyue, I…” Emperor Yan could not finish his sentence.
“Forget it. You should go too. Let Prince Anyang in.” Then, he said to Li Wan.
A complicated expression flashed across Li Wan’s face. She glanced at Emperor Yan and stood up.
She wanted to say something, but she didn’t say a word.
Then, she turned around and left.
Emperor Yan also stood up and looked at Li Wan’s departing back.
As Li Wan walked further away, her figure gradually bent.
Then, she sat back on the soft couch.
Li Wan seemed to have sensed it, but she didn’t turn around.
That was good. Everything was over.
Walking out of Shanghua Palace, Li Wan saw Prince Anyang waiting at the entrance.
Without waiting for Prince Anyang to bow to her, Li Wan spoke first.
“The Emperor has summoned His Highness.”
Prince Anyang cupped his hands at Li Wan and hurriedly entered the palace.
When Zhang Shi saw Li Wan again, she wanted to talk to her.
But when Li Wan looked over, she avoided her.
Seeing this, Li Wan frowned slightly.
She shifted her gaze away and did not look at Zhang Shi again.
Zhang Shi continued, but once again she wanted to say something but stopped.
After a while, she finally took a step forward.
“Your Highness,” she said.
Li Wan immediately turned her head, causing Zhang Shi to shut her mouth.
But a moment later, Zhang Shi raised her head again.
“Can I ask Your Highness something?” She looked at Li Wan.
Li Wan was confused.
“What is it?”
“Your Highness, have you ever loved the Emperor?” Zhang Shi asked hesitantly.
Li Wan was stunned.
Immediately, the gaze she looked at Zhang Shi with turned into displeasure.
“Please don’t misunderstand, I have served the emperor for many days, seeing the Emperor does so many things for…”
“That’s why I asked.”
Yes, she was shocked.
They were shocked that an Emperor would do so much for a woman.
When she first met the Emperor, she didn’t care about these things.
All she wanted to do was complete the task His Highness and the Imperial Consort had given her.
At the same time, she could be with the Emperor and enjoy the glory and wealth in the palace.
But gradually, the more she interacted with the Emperor, the more she understood his deep feelings for Consort Shu and the more she sympathized with the Emperor.
Yes, sympathy.
At the same time, she was envious of Consort Shu. To be able to receive such deep love from an Emperor.
Li Wan glanced at Zhang Shi.
“You don’t know the full picture, so don’t comment. This matter has nothing to do with you.” She said indifferently.
Zhang Shi’s expression became anxious.
“But in order to see you, the Emperor took…” She stopped.
Li Wan turned around and looked at her again.
“If you want to say something, just say it.” She said in a deep voice.
This was her subst.i.tute arranged by Prince Anyang. She didn’t have a good impression of her.
Zhang Shi was frightened by Li Wan’s imposing manner.
Then, she made up her mind and said, “the Emperor wants to look better when he sees you. “His Majesty took the Life Essence Pill..”
