The emperor was silent after hearing Duan Wang's words.
"Imperial brother, that was your former favorite Xiaojiu, can you bear to see him die? I don't care what happened between you and your imperial sister-in-law, I don't ask why you killed the crown prince, Xiao Jiu is innocent, I don't want to see my imperial brother regret it in the future, imperial brother pardon him."
"Imperial brother, haven't enough people died? Stop it!" Duan Wang said while kowtowing.
"I will send someone to pass on the decree to pardon him, but ... I don't intend to restore his status as a prince, he Qi Yanchang will only be a commoner in the future, not a member of my royal family." The emperor was silent for a long time before saying in a cold voice.
Duan Wang heard this and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, "Many thanks imperial brother, if Xiao Jiu knew, he would definitely be very happy."
It was indeed a bit of a pity that Xiao Jiu had not been able to regain his royal identity, but he was at least free now, he didn't have to be trapped in Weiyang County anymore, and he had gotten rid of his status as a prisoner, even though he was only a commoner, his days in the future wouldn't be difficult either.
"You stand down." The emperor waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Imperial brother, you have already decreed to pardon Xiao Jiu, he is no longer an exiled prisoner, then ... my younger brother, who is an uncle, will help Xiao Jiu, imperial brother will not chastise my younger brother, right?" Duan Wang bravely asked.
He really couldn't bear to see this little nephew of his suffer outside.
As the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother.
Imperial brother was ten years older than him.
When his brother and sister-in-law got married, he was still a few years old.
At that time, his body is not good, the sister-in-law very care for him, the doctors can not cure his illness, the sister-in-law sent people around to find him famous doctors, cured his illness, but also sent the best Mr. and martial arts teacher to teach him.
When he grew up and was old enough to marry, he fell in love with a woman from a very ordinary family and wanted to marry her as his consort, but his brother-in-law refused to do so, and in the end, his sister-in-law made the decision for him and let him marry his beloved one.
He did not understand, sister-in-law so good people, why the brother-in-law killed the crown prince, forced the sister-in-law to die?
Was it really just for power, for the throne?
But the royal brother is almost seventy years old, give the throne to the crown prince, his own to be the supreme emperor is not good?
Why kill his wife and son?
Duan Wang couldn't figure it out, and now that it had come to this, he was powerless to do anything about it, the only thing he could do was to protect his little nephew, Qi Mujiu.
That was his imperial sister-in-law's son.
"Help if you want to, no need to say much, stand down." The emperor said in a deep voice.
"Yes." A smile appeared on Duan Wang's face as he bowed and retreated.
Only after he left did the emperor look at the big eunuch beside him and said with a cold face, "Go and call Commander He over, I have something to ask him."
"Yes." The eunuch answered and hurriedly trotted off.
Commander He was the commander of the secret guards beside the emperor, in charge of five hundred secret guards, and was the emperor's beloved.
His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince had encountered so many dangers, yet no one had reported it, the Emperor suspected that something had gone wrong on the dark guards' side, and would definitely want to investigate it to the end.
...
In the middle of July, Ye Yuqi got the medicinal materials that Qi Zhixuan sent to the capital city to buy back, locked herself in the house, and began to refine the foundation building medicine, when the medicine was refined, it took a few days to take and absorb, and by the end of July, she finally succeeded in building the foundation.
Although, this body was not a bit worse than her own peak period in her previous life, at least she would not be injured when using the Taiji Sect's Xuanjutsu.
Of course, the premise was that one would only utilize the Xuan Technique three times a day, and it wasn't the overly complicated kind, otherwise, one would still be easily injured.
"Grandfather, I'm ready, tomorrow we can depart for the Prefecture City." Ye Yuqi found Ye Huai Lan and said with some excitement.
From today onwards, she was no longer the "powerless" little girl from before.
Before, she could deal with ordinary ghosts and monsters with ease, but if she dealt with powerful evil cultivators or martial arts masters, she would have to set up a formation in advance, and without the aid of the formation, she could win, but she would be especially prone to injuries.
After building her foundation, her body strength was several times stronger than before, and when she utilized her Xuan Technique, she was no longer as susceptible to injuries as she was in the past.
"Qing Ze is going to participate in the Autumn Examination in a month or so, tomorrow's departure is just right, Grandfather will go and tell them to each pack up their gold, silver and fine clothes, bring a few pieces of clothing, I'll ask your great uncle to go and rent two larger carriages, and set off early tomorrow morning." Ye Huai Lan smiled.
Previously, there were killers who came to the Ye family to kill and set fire to the house, because the granddaughter was powerful and set up everything in advance, they were able to dodge a bullet.
Of course Ye Huai Lan didn't feel comfortable letting people stay here.
Since they were going to the capital, let's go together.
That bastard Jiang Chunshu had killed them three times, abominable to the core, he would go to the capital to sue the royal court and make that bastard pay the price he deserved.
If there was no granddaughter around, Ye Huai Lan could only take his family far away from home, living in anonymity, living in fear and trembling, not daring to go to the capital to sue Jiang Chun Shu.
Because the granddaughter was very powerful, they also had a fighting chance.
"Grandfather don't worry, I got the inheritance of Taiji Sect, after entering the capital, if I encounter great trouble, I will expose myself and join Taiji Sect, I will definitely be able to pull Jiang Chunshu down and make him pay the price he deserves." Ye Yuqi was afraid that the old man would be worried and gave him another piece of mind.
"Good, it's fortunate to have you, otherwise our Ye family would be finished." Ye Huai Lan said in a trembling voice.
In the beginning, he was the one who had no eyes and married his daughter to that bastard Jiang Chunshu, in order to send Jiang Chunshu to catch the exam, their Ye family almost lost all their money, but in the end, this brute married someone else and wanted to put them to death.
He wanted to personally send Jiang Chunshu to his death, otherwise he would not die in peace.
Ye Yuqi quickly told Ye Mengwen about the departure tomorrow.
"Leaving so soon." Ye Mengwen's eyes widened, "I thought it would take a few more days, those lard soaps of mine have only been ready for a few days, it will take a month or two before I can use them, if I bring all of them with me, it's too heavy, the driver will definitely not agree to it."
Because it will tire out the horse.
Ye Mengwen was really a bit reluctant to part with it, because making the lard soap had cost her a lot of time and energy.
"It seems that it can only be cheaper for Qi Mu Jiu." Ye Mengwen sighed and said.
"If Mother really can't part with it, just put it over here first, and when we're done with the capital, then send someone to pick it up."
Ye Yuqi said and suddenly smiled, "I still have some silver in hand, let's hire another carriage and take the lard soap you made away, didn't Mother say ... that these lard soaps are laborious to make and more expensive to sell, so ordinary people can't afford to use them? Take it to the capital, it will definitely sell for a good price."
Ye Mengwen smelled a bright spot, however, she finally gave up: "Forget it, or leave it to Qi Mu Jiu, this thing although sells expensive, Weiyang County there are still a lot of people who can afford it, as long as he sells these lard soaps, the next few years, as long as save some, he at least won't be starving, if save some, enough for ten years. "
"Is mother unable to let him go?" Ye Yuqi asked with a smile.
