What was there to say?
Emperor Yong Ping felt sad for nothing. Now, he finally understood why the emperor said that he was alone. Those who could play together in the past would inevitably drift further and further away as they grew older and their status changed.
Especially for a ruler, there was no way he could completely deal with all changes without changing.
He had changed, so had Cai Qilang, Xi Shibalang, and He Balang.
Cai Qilang had entered the palace to plead for Cai Qi, but Xie Xian's words were still ringing in his ears. How could he, as the Emperor, suppress Xie Xian and plead for a case that was clearly the Cai family's fault and that everyone in Jiankang City knew?
Moreover, he had to have this strength. Emperor Yong Ping was weak to begin with.
