Chapter 11 : Too Many Regrets For The Afterlife
Zhang Fengxi shook his head.
"How?"
"For the past three months, I meditated at Mount Huang for closed-door cultivation. By the time I returned, both the Emperor and Jianyu had already passed on. All that was left in my Shuiran Palace was an imperial decree, signed by His Majesty the Emperor and witnessed by Jianyu himself," Jiang Muchen began to explain.
He too was stunned when he saw his name printed inside the imperial decree. Because how could he not know that the emperor intended to pass him the throne?
"..."
"I later found out from retired imperial eunuchs that the emperor was livid when he found out about Jianyu's pregnancy. He urged Jianyu to abort the child and resume his duties as the crown prince. No one had to know about the existence of your child. All eunuchs and royal physicians who knew about the child were told that they would lose their lives if they dared to breathe out even a single word.
But do you know that Jianyu foolishly chose to give birth to your child?"
"..."
"Jianyu, he might be the strongest swordsman across the entire heavenly realm, but his health is not that good.
Giving birth to this child was a life-and-death gamble, and he took it anyway. And why do you think he did that?"
"I don't know," Zhang Fengxi helplessly said.
