Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Huai looked at the corpse, his heart in turmoil.
Prince Yi was really dead… Then, the fact that he had a child with his stepmother and that he was his youngest brother, as well as the fact that he had killed his father, would soon be spread by Prince Yi’s people… Prince Yi’s people would definitely drag him down…
Duan Huai’s face turned ashen as he thought of this.
When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan saw Duan Huai like this, they asked the others in the small courtyard to leave. Only when they were left with Duan Huai did they look at Duan Huai.
They wanted to know what Prince Yi had on Duan Huai before they made a decision. After all, Duan Huai was truly loyal to the kingdom, and he had treated Doctor Shen with such courtesy. He was not a bad person.
After waiting for a while, he saw that Duan Huai was still in a daze. He didn’t even notice that they were looking at him. Xue Yan then opened his mouth. “What does Prince Yi have against you that made you help him?”
Only then did Duan Huai come back to his senses. Naturally, he could hear that Xue Yan still firmly believed that he was loyal to the monarch and patriotic. It was just that he had no choice but to help Prince Yi. He hurriedly knelt again, his eyes red as he said with extreme guilt, “I’ve committed the greatest crime!!”
Since those things were about to spread, Duan Huai could only endure the shame. “My youngest brother is the son of my stepmother.”
Xue Yan was startled.
Jiang Yue was expressionless.
“I did not kill my father by accident.” Duan Huai continued, tears streaming down his face. “When my father discovered the matter between my stepmother and me, he wanted to kill my youngest brother to vent his anger. I stopped him and made a big mistake. I don’t know where Prince Yi found out about this and used it to threaten me.
“I didn’t want to lose my reputation and thus agreed. He originally wanted me to murder the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Your Highness, but I didn’t agree. He only asked to stay in this house in the end. He also asked me to capture Doctor Shen. He was afraid of being captured so he made me sneakily bring Doctor Shen here.
“Now that he’s dead, I’ll be in big trouble. He came to my residence alone, so he must have subordinates outside. Sooner or later, they will announce this matter to the public. I’m about to lose my reputation.
“I don’t hate or blame anyone. That’s the truth. I did not control myself and had an affair with my stepmother in my early years. I had a son and accidentally killed my father. This is my retribution. I violated my family ties and even killed my father. I can’t be allowed to live in the world.
“I will report to the Emperor and resign from the position of General of the Northern Region. The Emperor must punish me for my crimes. I am not worthy of being a human!”
Xue Yan looked at Jiang Yue.
Duan Huai was the general of the Northern Army. Whether he was guilty or innocent, he should be punished by his father, the Emperor. He could see that Duan Huai was really unwilling to let his father down. He is showing his sincerity now.
Jiang Yue also felt that Duan Huai was sincere. Then, this matter would be left to the Emperor to deal with, so she nodded to Xue Yan.
With the Cloud Guards here to deal with the aftermath, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not stay any longer. They brought Doctor Shen out of the Northern General’s mansion and then boarded a carriage.
Because Doctor Shen was present, some things could not be said for the time being, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not in a hurry to speak.
After returning to the inn, he let Doctor Shen stay in one of the rooms and only set off for Xinyuan County tomorrow.
He spoke to Doctor Shen for a while. Doctor Shen thought about these things and felt extremely emotional. Xue Sifu did not feel emotional, but he also felt that Prince Yi’s death was too strange.
Seeing that they had all bought things to bring home for their families, Doctor Shen also had the intention to buy some for his wife and Yuxuan.
