When the tyrant said this, General Jiang's eyes turned red. He held his hand tightly and said in a trembling voice:
"When heaven and earth are in harmony, all things flourish; when ruler and minister are in harmony, the country is at peace. Only when a wise ruler and virtuous ministers assist each other can the country be stable. Hearing your Majesty's heartfelt words today, I feel deeply moved. Having such a ruler is a blessing for our Dongming. I will do my utmost to assist your Majesty!"
As soon as General Jiang finished speaking, before the tyrant could react, he had already knelt down.
The great tyrant hurried forward to help him, "Master, please get up quickly."
Before the tyrant could help General Jiang up, Jiang Wenfeng knelt down and said to the tyrant, "Your Majesty, I, Jiang Wenfeng, am willing to serve you until my death. Long live the emperor!"
Seeing the two like this, the great tyrant quickly stopped their actions and said, "Three years ago, I listened to the slander of others and mistakenly believed that Yi'er was jealous and murdered the emperor's heir. In my rage, I banished her to the cold palace for three years.
It wasn't until a few days ago that I discovered the truth of what happened back then. It turns out Yi'er was truly innocent. It was my own incompetence that caused Yi'er to suffer three years of injustice in vain. It's all my fault."
Three years ago, when Jiang Wenfeng learned that his sister had murdered his offspring out of jealousy, he began to harbor resentment towards the monarch.
He often wondered whether the monarch he served so carefully was worthy of him. During the time when his sister was banished to the cold palace, he even thought that with the strength of their Jiang family army, it would be easy to take someone away from the harem.
But his father was loyal to his master. When he learned of his thoughts, he scolded him angrily. He was arrogant and did not understand his father at that time. Now he understood that his father had not misjudged him, and their monarch had never let them down.
He may make mistakes, but a monarch who corrects his mistakes is a thousand times better than a foolish emperor.
Wanwan, who was sitting aside playing with a bamboo dragonfly in her hand, felt very emotional when she heard the tyrant's heartfelt words.
[Has this scumbag father been possessed by another spirit? He actually managed to say something so sensible. Is this the sun rising from the west?]
He actually knew that my mother was framed and even apologized for it. This is truly unbelievable.
“…”
The atmosphere was already at this point, and the tyrant was also very moved. However, after hearing the little brat's true feelings, he knew that this girl would not say anything good.
[But... he's quite handsome. It seems this scumbag dad isn't as stupid as the book says.]
The anger that was about to rise in the tyrant's heart was instantly extinguished because of the little milk ball's words.
After hearing this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and his eyes, which had been dim, suddenly brightened.
Is this little brat... praising him?

Knowing that Concubine Yi was coming back today, many relatives came to the Jiang Mansion in the afternoon. After greeting each of them one by one, Wanwan was already holding a lot of gifts worth thousands of gold in her arms.
[Ahhhhh, so much money, so much money, I’m going to be a rich woman!!! Hahahahaha]
The tyrant was half lying on the couch reading a book. Before he saw the little kid, he heard her thoughts.
The tyrant chuckled and shook his head, what a money-grubber.
Because he didn't like noise, and because of his status, if people knew that he accompanied Concubine Yi back to Jiang Mansion, Concubine Yi would probably become the target of public criticism after returning to the palace.
So he did not go to meet the guests, but lay on the soft couch in the boudoir where Concubine Yi lived before she got married, concentrating on reading.
The next second, the tightly closed door was pushed open. The tyrant raised his eyelids slightly and saw Wanwan holding a brocade box in her hand. The palace maid Hehua behind her was also holding brocade boxes of different sizes.
It is not difficult to see that this girl got a lot of gold, silver and jewelry today.
"Daddy~" Wanwan came back and called him in a sweet voice, seeming to be in a very good mood.
"Yeah." The tyrant responded lightly, and then he saw that after the little kid called him, he couldn't wait to open the box and start looking for treasure.
After a while, a large area of gold suddenly appeared in front of the tyrant who was concentrating on reading a book.
"Daddy, which one would look good on Wanwan?"
The tyrant's brows jumped when he saw the little brat stretching out his arm in front of him, which was covered with nearly a dozen gold bracelets.
Was she asking him to pick out a nice-looking one from a dozen gold bracelets?
The tyrant who had reviewed difficult memorials was now completely at a loss when faced with a dozen gold bracelets.
He leaned forward and looked for a long time, finally meeting the expectant gaze of the little milk ball, and asked, "Is there any difference between these?"
Wanwan: “…”
[No, scumbag dad, are your eyes presbyopic at such a young age?]
"How are they the same? These bracelets are all different in style. Look, this one is a plain ring, this one is push-pull, this one is open, and this one is bamboo..."
Listening to the little brat chattering in his ear, the tyrant finally picked one that he liked and pointed at it, "This one."
Wanwan stared at the one he pointed at. Coincidentally, her scumbag dad chose the one she thought was the ugliest.
[This scumbag dad has such a unique vision. How did he fall for my stunningly beautiful mother in the first place?]
Hearing this, the tyrant sneered in his heart, Oh, sorry, it was your mother who loved me first.
"By the way, where is your mother?" asked the tyrant.
Since you went to meet the guests, why haven’t you come back yet?
Wanwan fiddled with the gold bracelet on her hand and replied, "Mom is busy."
[Busy meeting my future daddy, I'm going to have a new daddy, hehe]
Tyrant: “???”
He Hua was standing outside guarding when she suddenly heard the emperor's gloomy voice behind her: "Where is Concubine Yi?"
Lotus was startled. When she looked at His Majesty's expressionless face, she replied timidly, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty should still be in the backyard."
After Lotus finished speaking, she saw His Majesty holding the little princess and walking towards the backyard.
Wanwan didn't know what was wrong with the tyrant. He suddenly picked her up and said he would take her to find his mother.
[Alas, this great tyrant is now filled with guilt and is thinking about my mother everywhere. It’s a pity that my mother doesn’t love him.]
Wanwan's inner tyrant became more and more restless. How could it be possible that Concubine Yi didn't love him?
When the tyrant walked to the backyard with the child in his arms, he indeed saw a familiar figure.
Concubine Yi was standing there, with two people standing in front of her. The tall man in white clothes with a gentle appearance was the first to enter the tyrant's sight.
Looking at the familiar face, the tyrant recognized it at a glance as Chen Ziying, the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital.
He immediately understood in his heart that this little brat must have just randomly recognized any handsome guy as his father.
And the new daddy, believe it or not, he beat her until she cried loudly and called him daddy.
The tyrant turned around and was about to leave when he heard the voice of the little kid in his arms again.
[Wow, Doctor Chen is indeed the first man my mother loved. He looks so handsome. If the tyrant hadn't forced my mother to marry him as his concubine, my mother and Doctor Chen would have been very happy.]
