The emperor sighed inwardly: this cunning little boy has almost gathered all the top powers of Yanhuang City around him. In the end, the Royal Academy of the Piaomiao Palace... is still theirs!
But after experiencing so much, the emperor had also come to terms.
The whole matter, when traced to its origin, was still on him, the emperor!
If he hadn't been swayed by the crown prince to issue that marriage decree, Shen Xingxue wouldn't have thought of granting immortality to Miao Yi Niang. Without that idea, they naturally wouldn't have attracted that terrifying woman, and there wouldn't have been the subsequent incidents where the crown prince's eyes were ruined, and Mr. Tantai was severely injured.
Even though he was angry that his daughter favored outsiders, the emperor understood that she wanted to repay Chu Mo's kindness, and her actions were not unfounded.
So in the end, the whole thing was rooted in his decree.
