After announcing Ye Junfei as the new King of Pingnan, the King of Pingnan immediately announced the crimes of the Queen of Pingnan and Ye Jingxian.
They were all dead, and it was not appropriate for the Prince of Pingnan to do something like desecrating their corpses, yet he explicitly ordered that their remains not be placed in the royal mausoleum.
His order was a direct denial of their royal status.
At the same time, he ordered Ren Zheng to find the youngest son of the Princess of Pingnan and imprison him directly.
He handled these things decisively and efficiently, without any hesitation or delay.
After doing all this, the Prince of Pingnan had no strength left.
He said to Ren Zhengdao, "Help me sit on the throne."
Ren Zheng felt a mix of emotions as he looked at the man's lifeless face.
The Prince of Pingnan looked at him and said, "After I leave, if Xiu'er is willing to use you, you shall stay and assist him."
"If he is unwilling to employ you, you should return to your hometown and live in seclusion. Although he is decisive and efficient, he is not a bloodthirsty person and will not harm you."
Ren Zheng's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly, "Yes."
The Prince of Pingnan looked at him and smiled: "Are you still wondering why I locked Yuan'er up?"
Yuan'er is the name of the youngest son of the Princess Consort of Pingnan.
Ren Zheng looked at him and said softly, "That's because it's best for me to do this."
“If Xiu’er were to do it, people would say he was cruel to his brother and heartless. I don’t want him to bear such a reputation.”
Ren Zheng knew that the Prince of Pingnan was very decisive. When he decided to pass the throne to Ye Junfei, he did his best to pave the way for Ye Junfei and remove all obstacles.
He looked at the Prince of Pingnan and said, "Your Highness has put a lot of thought into this, and the young prince will surely feel your kindness towards him."
The Prince of Pingnan said slowly, "I am not doing these things for his own good, but for the good of Liefeng Prefecture."
"Liefeng Prefecture needs a king like Xiu'er to lead them away from being bullied by the imperial court."
"Since I have entrusted Liefeng Prefecture to him, I naturally hope that he can do his best."
"I am not a good father, but I consider myself a qualified Prince of Pingnan."
"When I was young, I was too impulsive and too self-righteous, and I missed out on many beautiful things in this world."
“I owe Xiu’er so much, and I can never make up for it in this lifetime. As cruel as I am, I have ended up like this. Perhaps it is retribution.”
Ren Zheng was surprised to hear him say such a thing and exclaimed in astonishment, "Your Highness!"
The Prince of Pingnan waved his hand slightly and said, "I can only say these words to you now. To say them to others would be an insult to my reputation."
Ren Zheng's eyes turned even redder.
The Prince of Pingnan leaned on his throne, barely breathing, and said, "I am a failed father and a failed husband."
"I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will have no face to see Yiyi after I die."
"After I die, bury me with Yiyi."
Even now, he has no idea that the Medical Sage had already stolen Gu Yiyi from the imperial tomb and buried her on a sunny hillside.
Such a joint burial, in the end, is only a joint burial for him alone; he can never sleep in the same grave as Gu Yiyi.
His eyes followed the gate and looked ahead, where he saw the Sage of Medicine standing in the courtyard.
The Sage of Medicine looked at him with a mixture of disdain and mockery.
The Prince of Pingnan understood the Sage of Medicine's meaning. He had allowed the Princess of Pingnan to kill Gu Yiyi, and now he was being killed by his own son. He deserved it!
The Prince of Pingnan was not angry when he saw the expression on the face of the Sage of Medicine. By now, there was nothing he could not accept.
He smiled slightly at the Sage of Medicine, then felt he had no more strength left, and his hand, which had been resting on the throne, fell to the ground.
His eyelids felt incredibly heavy, and slowly closed, never to open again in his lifetime.
Ren Zheng cried out in anguish, "Your Highness!"
The Prince of Pingnan would no longer answer him.
The Sage of Medicine, who was outside, sighed softly upon seeing this scene.
He looked towards Gu Yiyi's grave and whispered, "Yiyi, I've avenged you. You can rest in peace now!"
"On your way to the underworld, you must not make any more mistakes, and you must not pay any attention to him again."
The death of the Prince of Pingnan was not unexpected.
Soon, the entire Bai residence was covered with white banners.
When Ye Qingwan learned of his death, she remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "Before he died, he at least did something decent."
Now, the only legitimate children in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion are her and Ye Junfei, and the illegitimate sons and daughters are just a few in Liaoliao. It is no longer as lively and joyous as it used to be when there were many people.
When the Prince of Pingnan died, his surviving children found it difficult to shed a single tear for him.
With such a major upheaval occurring at the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and Ye Junfei still away on campaign, Ye Qingwan was left to manage all the affairs of the mansion.
Ye Qingwan was already familiar with the affairs of the Prince's mansion, and possessed exceptional abilities, so she quickly arranged everything in the mansion in an orderly manner.
Settle the Prince's residence and announce the funeral to the public.
Her illegitimate sons and daughters trusted her greatly and all stayed by her side to help her.
The once strict and complicated rules of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion were suddenly transformed, and everything became incredibly simple.
Lin Yunzhi walked up to the Sage of Medicine and asked, "What are you doing at the Prince of Pingnan's residence?"
The Sage of Medicine gave a somewhat irrelevant answer: "Junfei is Yiyi's son."
Lin Yunzhi was stunned. He didn't know much about the former Princess Consort of Pingnan, and he never expected that the former Princess Consort of Pingnan was Gu Yiyi!
He remarked with some emotion, "What a coincidence."
The Sage of Medicine also smiled: "I didn't expect Yan'er to be your daughter either. Ling Yun, you've surprised me quite a bit too."
"The truly wise live in seclusion in the city. Who would have thought that the once elegant and carefree young man would become a shrewd businessman?"
Lin Yunzhi laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with being a businessman. You stay away from power struggles, have more money than you can spend, and live a free and easy life."
The medical sage agreed with him: "Yes, that's good."
The two smiled at each other.
Lin Yunzhi then said, "I heard you became a medical sage and saved many people?"
The Sage of Medicine said calmly, "The title of Sage of Medicine was bestowed upon me by others. Saving people is my way of accumulating blessings for Junfei."
"I used to want to be a carefree person, but because of my obsession, I could never truly be carefree."
"Now that my obsession has dissipated, I can finally be free and have a bright future."
Lin Yunzhi smiled and said, "Congratulations."
The two had known each other for many years and had even traveled the world together in the past, so they knew some of those old stories.
The Sage of Medicine looked at him and said, "I calculated Yan'er's age. It seems that Shuangyue wasn't with you when she was born."
"Back then, Shimotsuki and him..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Yunzhi interrupted him, saying, "I was already with Yue'er back then, and Yan'er is my daughter."
The medical sage glanced at him, and he looked stern.
If the medical sage didn't understand him, he might have been deceived.
But they had known each other since they were young, and they were very familiar with each other's personalities back then.
The more serious he is, the more it shows that he is guilty.
The medical sage looked at him with some surprise and said, "Yan'er really is his daughter?"
