In the dream, Qin Ya smiled and said, "The Crown Prince's fortune is still there. It is not a good thing to rashly change the heir apparent. The Ninth Prince is only suitable to be a leisurely prince. Moreover, the Ninth Prince is destined to have no children and is not suitable to be the heir apparent. Changing the fate for Your Majesty has already gone against the will of Heaven. Changing the heir apparent again would harm the national system. I hope Your Majesty will think twice and not act against the will of Heaven again."
Qin Ya left, and the emperor woke up with a start, pondering all night and unable to sleep.
A few days later, he rewarded Li Ye with a courtyard, which was fully equipped with all kinds of entertainment, and bestowed upon him the title of King of Eternal Freedom.
Li Ye was startled when he heard the name, and was somewhat confused about what his father meant.
Linghu Lan chuckled as she looked at the imperial edict and said, "From now on, you are here to enjoy yourself by imperial decree. Let's see if anyone dares to say anything now."
Li Yexing's eyes were filled with a smile. "That's right. Let's go and take a look at that courtyard tomorrow. If it's nice, we can live there from now on. This courtyard is indeed getting old. Father's decree has come at just the right time."
Linghu Lan nodded and agreed.
The two continued their romantic pursuits and were endlessly happy.
Several more years passed, and the crown prince passed away.
He had grown into an old man with white hair, while his father, the emperor, still had black hair. He finally couldn't bear it any longer and passed away.
The emperor selected an outstanding son from among the crown prince's many sons and named him the crown prince's grandson, raising him personally by his side.
A few years later, Consort Hong passed away, and the emperor, tired of being emperor again, abdicated the throne to his grandson and went to enjoy his old age.
Linghu Lan and Li Ye lived to be over sixty years old in this world before passing away.
The two lived a carefree and happy life in this world, without any worries. After their deaths, people only regarded them as a pair of leisurely prince and princess.
...
Bridge over the Styx.
Groups of wandering souls drifted along the River Styx, heading to the other side to report for justice. There, they awaited the judge's judgment of their sins in life, before being boiled in oil or reincarnated as humans or animals.
One of the wandering spirits stood out in the group; he was very tall and looked quite robust. If Linghu Lan were there, she would recognize him as Meng Zhuo at a glance.
Meng Zhuo looked up at the underworld. He had not been completely corrupted by the ghostly energy of the underworld, and he still had his memories.
He scanned the many wandering spirits several times, but did not see the figure he longed for. He couldn't help but lower his head and sigh silently: She has probably already been reincarnated.
He arrived too late.
He should have gone with her on the day she died, but he didn't die and was rescued.
It's pointless to save someone only to have them die again.
A real man doesn't try to kill himself; that's not what makes a hero.
Later, he overheard his parents saying that he was not actually their biological son, but a descendant of a marquis.
The marquis confessed to a crime on behalf of the crown prince and was punished by having his family property confiscated and his clan exterminated. His father, who had been a personal guard by the marquis's side, secretly took him back to his hometown and raised him as his own son.
In the end.
The parents sighed, "We must leave a descendant for the Marquis no matter what. We only hope that after the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will remember the Marquis's kindness, clear the Marquis's name, and not let Zhuo'er suffer with us anymore."
He was stunned when he heard the news.
No wonder he doesn't look like his older brothers at all.
No wonder his parents always favored him; it wasn't because he was the youngest, but because of his status.
