“The late Emperor’s edict,” Ghostfear replied.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand. What did this have to do with the previous emperor’s edict?

Ghostfear continued, “Four years ago, the previous Emperor’s will appeared at Broken North Pass. When my ancestor… Lord Wu An found out about this, he immediately brought people to take back the will, but he didn’t manage to.”

After failing to take it back, King Nanyang blamed Lord Wu An for not doing his job well. Did he kill Lord Wu An and his children and grandchildren in his anger?

No, no, no. This didn’t make sense. There had to be a story.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ghostfear.

Ghostfear hesitated for a moment and said, “However, Lord Wu An saw the contents of the will. It was because he was too shocked that he panicked and let the other party snatch it away.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, “What was written in the will that shocked Grandpa so much?”

Ghostfear said calmly, “Depose the King of Nanyang, take back his status as a member of the royal family, and demote him to a commoner. If he rebels… kill him.”

Su Xiaoxiao and Su MO fell silent.

This will… was indeed too surprising.

Su Xiaoxiao digested it for a while before saying, “Didn’t the late emperor dote on this eldest son the most? Why did he depose him?”

Ghostfear shook her head. “I don’t quite understand this either.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Could it be that the will was forged by the White Lotus Society?”

This time, Su MO did not brainlessly praise his sister. He said, “The people of the White Lotus Society don’t have the ability to forge an imperial edict. However, the matter of the late emperor deposing the King of Nanyang is indeed very strange. He even… wants to kill him.”

This was very puzzling.

He continued, “Among the late emperor’s sons, the one he valued the most and owed the most to was King Nanyang.”

“Debt?” Su Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn’t finish the gossip tonight.

Su MO nodded. “That’s right. When the late emoeror was still a nrince. he was

ordered to quell the internal strife. Not long after, he was retaliated against by the other party. The other party kidnapped the ten-year-old King Nanyang and tortured him in all kinds of ways. He beat him up, imprisoned him, and abused him inhumanely. He vented all his anger on an innocent child. The late emperor was not threatened. He ignored his son’s life and resolutely killed his way into the rebel army’s nest. The rebel army shot King Nanyang in front of the late emperor… He was not killed, and the imperial physician saved him.”

Su Xiaoxiao hesitated. “The late emperor…”

Su MO said, “It’s hard to say if that matter is right or wrong. If he compromised, thousands of soldiers would die. If he didn’t compromise, he’ll lose his eldest son.’

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What was King Nanyang’s attitude?”

Su MO said, “He didn’t blame the late emperor. He treated the late emperor with respect as usual. On the other hand, the late emperor felt extremely guilty towards his eldest son. From then on, he treated him differently from his other sons.”

“Is that so?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. “Yes,” the ghost replied. “I see.”

Su Xiaoxiao understood.

Many illogical things were explained at this moment.

The will did not appoint King Nanyang, but crippled him. He was not allowed to rebel, or he could be killed.

King Nanyang was definitely going to rebel. He was worried that the Wei family would no longer follow him, and he was even more afraid that Lord Wu An, Wei Xu, and the others would kill him on orders. Therefore, he struck first and colluded with Helian Ye to silence everyone.

Zhang Feng must have seen the content of the will and felt that he would definitely be silenced by the King of Nanyang, so he looked for Zhao Kangning to make a deal and asked him to help him escape.

The only thing he could not figure out now was why the late emperor had wanted to depose his most beloved and owed son.

When Su Xiaoxiao and Su MO came out, Wei Liulang was standing quietly at the corner of the corridor.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said to Su MO, “Cousin, go back first.”
