Chapter 490: The Retired Emperor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that it was Jiang Ying, the emperor’s expression improved a little, but only a little.

“Jiang Ying, you’re here,” the emperor said.

“Imperial Brother, 1 heard something and entered the palace.” Jiang Ying did not dare to tell the emperor directly and probed.

“You also know that Jiang Ling wants to marry that woman, right?” the emperor asked Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying nodded. He didn’t dare say anything else, afraid that the emperor would be angry.

“I really don’t know what he’s thinking. He actually dares to marry a woman from another country. Doesn’t he know that he’s the heir of King Chu and will inherit the throne in the future? He’s basically cutting off his escape route. I can’t let an heir with a wife from another country inherit the throne of Uncle Chu,” the emperor said angrily.

“Imperial Brother, haven’t you thought about why he wanted to marry the princess of another country? Also, this matter might have been tacitly approved by Uncle Chu.” After Jiang Ying finished speaking, he kept looking at the emperor.

The emperor immediately looked at Jiang Ying solemnly. “Is that what I think? They want to rebel.”

They needed their own forces in rebellion. After he married Princess Dawn, it was equivalent to having the power of the Black City Kingdom.

The emperor gasped and said in disbelief, “I always knew they were ambitious, but they should use their own strength. Why collude with the Black City Kingdom? Don’t they know that this is treason?”

Jiang Ying looked at the emperor’s shocked expression and sighed heavily. “When a person loses his mind, all methods are no longer strange.”

Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, the emperor suddenly came to a realization. “I underestimated them.”

The two brothers continued to chat about some things. In the end, the emperor asked Jiang Ying, “How’s your investigation of the human skin mask recently?”

Originally, things should have gone smoothly at this time and they could have found some clues. However, because of the Empress Dowager’s funeral, the two of them were disrupted. Only then did the emperor worry.

Jiang Ying nodded and replied, “They’re all investigating. Brother, don’t worry.”

Actually, Jiang Ying really wanted to tell the emperor that the Empress Dowager might have been murdered, but after some thought, he held back.

As Old Master Ning had received that letter, he had to be more cautious.

An emperor’s suspicion was almost universal among the previous emperors. Although he was very good brothers with the emperor, he was not confident that the emperor would trust Ning Yue’s family unconditionally like him.

Just as Jiang Ying was deep in thought, the emperor said, “We have to investigate the human skin mask as soon as possible. I don’t think it will be very peaceful these days. If Lian Xin escapes, it will be bad news for us.”

Lian Xin had a lot of troops in his hands. His status in the Black City Kingdom was not low. He could completely surpass the emperor to implement a national policy.

If he decided to use troops against the Great Yun Nation, the outcome would be bad if both sides fought.

“Yes, I’ll go back and investigate now. Imperial Brother, no matter what, it has already happened. We have to be careful of Uncle King Chu,” Jiang Ying instructed the emperor before leaving.

With Jiang Ying’s instructions, the emperor immediately went to look for the Retired Emperor. Ever since the Grand Empress Dowager passed away, the retired emperor’s health had been deteriorating.

He didn’t care about anything now. Usually, he just sat in the courtyard and basked in the sun. When it was time, he would eat again. Then, he would go back to his room to sleep. There was no other special activity.

When the emperor arrived, he saw the Retired Emperor sitting in the courtyard sunbathing.

“Father,” the emperor called.

The Retired Emperor opened his eyes and looked at the emperor. He smiled and said, “You’re here?”

“Father, have you been well these days?” The emperor suddenly blamed himself.

Ever since the death of the Empress Dowager, he had been busy with the funeral and other things. He had not had time to visit the Retired Emperor.

Now that the emperor saw the Retired Emperor sitting alone in the courtyard, he felt very uncomfortable and blamed himself.

“I’m fine. As for you, why aren’t you busy with your government affairs? What are you doing here? Do you want to bask in the sun with an old man like me?” The Retired Emperor said with a smile..
