When Ye Feihan heard these words, his eyebrows jumped as he said with a smile, ”Royal Uncle, you and I are of the same family, why must you be so restrained?”
Nightingale smiled but did not comment.
”I presume that the Emperor knows about my illness a while ago?” Ye Lianhe said with a smile.
Upon hearing these words, Ye Feihan and his wife's expressions immediately became unnatural. However, Ye Lianhe did not take it to heart. Instead, he continued, ”After this ordeal, this subject understands some mundane matters. Life should be done at the right time and in the right time.”
Hearing this, Ye Feihan nodded his head. After all, he was also a person who had walked through the gates of hell once, so he understood this sentence more than anyone else.
”Therefore, this subject wishes to dismiss the responsibility of regaining power. I wish to live the rest of my life in peace with my wife. I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to do so.”
As Ye Lianhe spoke, he stood up and gave a deep bow to Ye Feihan. Luo Lingwei also hurriedly stood up and bowed along with him.
At this moment, Ye Feihan only felt that his entire body was floating in the air, not knowing what was happening. He had been thinking and thinking for so many years, and had even used some underhanded methods to secretly harm Ye Lianhe in order to seize the power in his hands. Now that he had finally gotten what he wanted, Ye Feihan felt hot air gushing from his chest, almost causing him to lose his balance.
When Empress Wang saw that Ye Feihan's face was already red, she knew that he was about to suffer from another illness. She secretly pinched him, and only then did he regain his senses. He smiled at them both.
”Royal Uncle, I'm still a bit unfamiliar with the matter of governing a country. Many major matters still need Imperial Uncle's help, and now that you've left, what should I do?” Ye Feihan pretended to be heartbroken, but the truth was that his heart was already blooming with happiness.
Ye Lianhe chuckled and said, ”His Majesty is too modest. Now, His Majesty is already a model king. Even if this subject wasn't by his side to assist him, the Emperor would still be able to rule the Profound Sky Continent in a neat and orderly manner.”
This was the first time Ye Feihan had heard Yen Lianhe praise himself in such a manner. He felt incomparably carefree in his heart, as if his many years of illness had suddenly healed.
”In that case, I shall grant your request, Imperial Uncle.” However, if there is anything that is difficult to make a decision about, at that time, I would like to ask Uncle Huang to give me a few pointers. ” Ye Feihan chuckled and finished the tea in the teacup in one gulp.
”If the Emperor commands it, this subject will return to the capital as soon as possible, even if he is at the ends of the earth.” Ye Lianhe bowed deeply towards Ye Feihan.
After returning to the estate, Ye Lianhe only felt that his entire body was relaxed. In all these years, Ye Lianhe had never felt so relaxed before. Although the enemy was still eyeing him covetously, from the moment he had handed over the burden to Ye Feihan, Ye Lianhe felt as if the burden he had carried on his back for many years had disappeared in an instant.
In fact, when Yen Lianhe handed over all the power in his hands to Ye Feihan, he had thought of freeing himself from this kind of life where he no longer squabbled with others all the time. However, when he thought of the people under his command who risked their lives for him, what would they do if they chose to retreat?
On the morning assembly the next day, Eunuch Shen publicly read out Ye Lianhe's report. When he finished reading it, all the officials were in an uproar. Some of the ministers were at a loss as to why Ye Lianhe had suddenly given up the power in their hands, while others were afraid. Those who were afraid were the people who had sided with the prince, Ye Feian.
However, these complicated emotions eventually turned into a tsunami of cheers and screams …
”Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”
The imperial court was bustling with noise and excitement, and the Grand Dominance Mansion was not idle either.
That morning, when Ye Lianhe mysteriously called Zhao Wei to the study room, Zhao Wei thought he had something important to discuss with him. However, when he arrived at the study room, he saw Luo Lingwei standing next to Ye Lianhe, revealing a satisfied smile.
”Greetings to the prince and esteemed wangfei.” Even though Zhao Wei was a little suspicious, he still bowed deeply towards the two of them.
