His eldest son might have been innocent, but was he not innocent too?
His unfilial sons only thought about seizing his throne and forcing him to abdicate. Why didn't they realize just how innocent he was in this situation?
He was so enraged that he wanted to kill Qian Jiyun every time he remembered how he tried to force him to abdicate.
However, he had to endure his anger. He could not fall out with the ministers, let alone reveal his involvement with the Luoyang-Shao family.
"Alright, I'll let the Third Prince investigate this matter. We must investigate the Eldest Prince's case thoroughly. If the Luoyang-Shao family is really involved, I won't tolerate it!"
"Your Majesty is wise."
Upon hearing his words, all the ministers knelt down and exclaimed, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The old Emperor would rather not have these praises. He wished he could call for someone to drag his unfilial third son away and chop him up.
