Chapter 84 (2/2)

Ji Yunhao greeted Emperor Le Xuan like usual before bringing up a matter that the Emperor would have never thought Ji Yunhao would suggest himself.

He wanted to marry the deceased Hu Diechang as his first wife and at the same time, marry the deceased Ning Xuemo as his secondary wife!

Emperor Le Xuan stared at Ji Yunhao as if he was staring at a snake. “Hu Diechang is understandable, but why do you want to marry Ning Xuemo as a secondary wife? Didn’t you always hate her, doing everything you could to annul your engagement with her?”

If it was not for this brat annulling the marriage with Ning Xuemo in the square that day, then would all of these events have happened? This brat was the original culprit of this situation!

Ji Yunhao had already prepared what he wanted to say. “Imperial Father, although I despise her she is after all the daughter of Marquis Ning, the child of a good person. If she died just like this, then people would say that the imperial family is too heartless, causing the loyalty of some of our  subjects to waver. If you let your son give her an official position, then it could portray our imperial family’s grace.”

“So you’re saying that you’re doing this is for the sake of the imperial family?”

“Your son is ashamed. If I could help you bear some of your burden, of course I would do so…”

Emperor Le Xuan suddenly gave a cold smile. “If you had really wanted to help bear some of my burdens, you wouldn’t have plotted against that Ning girl with that poison murder case!”

As an emperor, he was constantly surrounded by countless machinations and intrigue. How could he not be able to see through this little scheme?

When Ning Xuemo had been accused of cheating on her fianc, it had clearly been wronging her!

Ji Yunhao lowered his head. “That matter wasn’t orchestrated by me…”

“Even if it wasn’t you, you still knew of it! Was it that girl Hu Diechang?”

Emperor Le Xuan’s words hit the mark. Ji Yunhao knew he could no longer hide this matter any longer as his head lowered even more. “I only found out about it after it happened…”
