Li Chen glanced at Zhao Xuanji, trying to glean some information from his face.

But this old fox did not reveal any emotion, and Li Chen returned empty-handed.

Li Chen didn't mind and went directly into the sleeping hall.

The Emperor, Tai-hang, bids farewell. His face was pale and his breath labored like that of an ox. He lacked the strength to stand or even sit, instead lying half on his dragon couch.

Beside him, the three treasures had come at some unknown time and were kneeling beside the dragon throne, holding the Emperor's hand.

This unexpected scene made Li Chen glance again.

Upon seeing Li Chen enter, the Emperor seemed to have lost his voice.

One hand is being held by Sanzhao, the other rests on the bedsheet near her stomach.

He lifted the hand that rested on his stomach and pointed toward the desk.

Li Chen bowed respectfully to the Great Emperor before walking towards the writing desk.

On the desk, lay three imperial edicts, neatly arranged.

Li Chen looked at the Great Emperor, and after seeing the Great Emperor nod, he took the first imperial decree and opened it to read.

This document, even with its length and flowery language, is entirely in the handwriting of Emperor Taishang. The wording and style are all his own.

The imperial edict was simple, stating only one thing: praising the achievements of the Crown Prince after he assumed regency.

Looking at the imperial edict, Li Chen felt a surge of emotion.

He knew that the Grand Emperor was using his own authority to support himself.

After this rebellion, his prestige would inevitably suffer, but with the emperor's imperial decree, proclaimed throughout the land, and acknowledging the prince's achievements in his capacity as emperor, any lost credibility could be restored.

And after this imperial edict, Li Chen's position as crown prince was as solid as a rock, with no one able to question or shake it.

Then, Li Chen looked at the second imperial edict.

This second imperial decree is somewhat shorter and uses extremely harsh language. It only talks about one thing throughout the entire text, and that is Li Yinhǔ.

The imperial edict confirmed Li Chen's decision to strip Li Yinhu of all his titles and ancestral temple privileges, and refuted Li Yinhu's claims about the Taizi's impure bloodline. It ultimately ordered that Li Yinhu be executed immediately.

This imperial decree, the second one, is meant to relieve Li Chen of his worries.

Li Yinhu should be killed again, but it couldn't be done by Li Chen.

During the day, Li Chen killed Li Yinhu. It was both unavoidable and inevitable.

Li Chen has already prepared himself to bear this stigma.

No matter how vile Li Yinhu is, if Li Chen, as the elder brother, kills him, it would be a case of fratricide.

Li Chen didn't care about bearing the label, but Emperor Dacheng clearly didn't want him to have that stain.

This imperial edict orders the execution of Li Yinhu, regardless of whether Li Yinhu died before this edict was issued, or whether he was killed by this edict or by Li Chen.

After this imperial decree, the people of the world could only recognize that Li Yinhǔ was executed by order of the Great Emperor.

"The body and skin are received from one's parents. The father is heaven, the great emperor can execute a disobedient descendant; both emotionally and logically, there is no problem."

This imperial edict resolved Li Chen's last concern.

Finally, Li Chen turned his gaze to the third imperial edict.

After the first two imperial edicts, Li Chen was very curious whether this third edict would continue to strengthen his status and authority.

Thinking this way, he picked up the third imperial edict.

But when Li Chen opened the imperial edict, his face was full of astonishment.e thick spine of the book slammed into Wang Tenghuan's forehead, Wang Tenghuan arched his back and cried out in pain, clutching his head and squatting down on the ground.The pain made him draw in a sh...
