Without waiting for Emperor Hao to speak, Prince Qing continued, “Didn’t you say that no matter who I fancy, you will let me marry them? Just let me go this one time, alright?”
Emperor Hao still couldn’t accept that his brother had always liked Ji Yi.
Empress Dowager Yunzi’s face turned frighteningly sour when her youngest son pleaded with his life. She asked, “Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with this?”
“Well…” Emperor Hao didn’t know how to deal with him. He couldn’t bear to punish his own brother. Prince Yi was still an innocent child, so he naturally wouldn’t punish him either. However, he definitely couldn’t let go of Ji Yi.
Emperor Hao advised Prince Qing, “Her crimes cannot be punished. My son has been wandering outside for so many years because of her and the Ji family. Wanting to murder him is more than enough reason for her entire family to be executed. Do you know how many lives were lost because of her? The Wei family was massacred because of her. The palace maids and eunuchs in her palace have already confessed to her plans. Many things were instigated by her.”

“l know.” Prince Qing was crying. “But I love her, Your Highness. I can’t let her go. She’s promised that she won’t do it again and will live a good life with me. I’m begging you to let her go. I promise you, she won’t do anything bad ever again with me by her side, okay? You of all people should know how I feel. You feel like that towards the Empress. Would you forgive your wife if she did anything wrong? You would, right? No matter what! Please! I beg you, please!” As he spoke, he kept his head on the ground.
His forehead split from hitting his head to the ground, and the ground was stained with blood.
“Please! Let me go!” Ji Yi also cried and kept kowtowing.
Emperor Hao still wanted to kill Ji Yi, but his brother’s actions were making him re-evaluate his decisions. It was as if his brother would kill himself if he did not comply. He quickly stopped his brother and forbade him from pleading any further, but he couldn’t let the words of letting Ji Yi go come out of his mouth.
“You fool!” Empress Dowager Yunzi was furious. She did not know if she was scolding Prince Qing or Emperor Hao. She hastily pulled out a sword from one of the guards and wanted to kill Ji Yi herself.
“Mother!” Prince Qing quickly stood in front of Ji Yi.
“Your Highness…” Behind Prince Qing, Ji Yi cried even harder. “Forget about me. Just let me die…” She realized that as long as she instigated the death, Prince Oing would not let her go and would not let her die.
As expected, Prince Qing and Empress Dowager Yunzi started forming tears in their eyes. “Mother, if you want to kill her, then you’ll have to kill me as well.”
“You dare test me?!” Empress Dowager Yunzi was sure that she would not hesitate.
It was obvious that her son was being tricked!
“Mother!” Emperor Hao hurriedly stopped his mother, afraid that his mother would really kill her son in a fit of anger. “Isn’t that how we’ve always been? If Ji Yi dies, he won’t be able to live with himself. In my opinion, why don’t-”
“How dare you call yourself an Emperor?!” Empress Dowager Yunzi didn’t wait for him to finish before she flew into a rage. “This woman instigated this whole problem by faking an imperial edict today. This man doesn’t care about us at all. He doesn’t even care about his own life. He only cares about her life.. In the future, she will use him to turn against us! They will destroy the peace of Da Ling!’
