It is the Imperial Decree of Longteng Country!

The content of the decree is to transfer power to Her Majesty Dingguo!

It is her lady, Long Dingguo, and not Long Ziyue’s mother, Long Hongming!

"Why..." Chu Qianli looked at Chu Jiangnan, her hands holding the decree were trembling.

"Father... Father, tell me, why? Why is there this decree? And the decree in Long Ziyue’s hands..."

"Didn’t I tell you before that when everything was over, I would give you an answer?"

Chu Jiangnan’s words suddenly brought back many memories to Chu Qianli.

It was back when they hadn’t recognized each other, and she didn’t even know that he was her father.

At that time, they were still in a relationship of mutual use.

Chu Jiangnan did say then that as long as she helped him with certain things, he would give her an answer.

"But then, you said that the decree in Long Ziyue’s hands was also real."

Even though she didn’t know he was her father at the time, when he said this, Chu Qianli subconsciously believed him.

Because of this, at first, she was heartbroken and almost accepted this fact.

Why has another decree appeared now?

"This decree..."

"It’s naturally also real." Chu Jiangnan smiled faintly, nodding, "And, in terms of timing, it’s later than the one in Long Ziyue’s hands."

"If one day you return to Longteng Country and compare it with the decree in Long Ziyue’s hand, you will know who the final sovereign is."

Chu Qianli no longer needed to ask, could her father’s words be wrong?

Since the decree in her hand is dated later than the one Long Ziyue holds, it means her decree is the final result.

"So, my grand-empress wasn’t usurping the throne, she rightfully succeeded, isn’t that so?"

Her eyes were filled with tears.

The grievances of many days were finally washed away.

Her grand-empress was innocent, her mother was innocent, she was also innocent!

They were rightful, they were not the culprits of Longteng Country.

No!

"Father, why..." Because of her agitation, Chu Qianli couldn’t even speak properly.

Her voice was stuck deep in her throat, almost unable to break through.

Chu Jiangnan beckoned her over.

Chu Qianli immediately went over, sat beside him, lowered her head, unwilling to shed a tear, but couldn’t hold back the moistness in her eyes.

"My Lili, you have suffered grievances." Chu Jiangnan sighed gently, rubbing her head.

"In those years, the late emperor and the Empress of Longteng Country, who is your great-grand-empress, had a certain relationship."

"When the late emperor met with your great-grand-empress, it was just as your great-grand-empress’s health was declining and she began considering the matter of establishing a Crown Prince."

"But at that time, the Empress Dingguo, who is your grand-empress, she had a fierce personality, and some of her political views not only differed from your great-grand-empress’s but were also far apart."

"Your great-grand-empress admired the Empress Dingguo’s abilities but resented her for not following her own arrangements, and of course, your great-grand-empress was also somewhat in the wrong, her desire for control was too strong."

"These were told by the late emperor to me, I can’t guarantee if they are entirely true."

"But there was indeed some triviality back in those days, your great-grand-empress and your grand-empress had a quarrel, a very intense one."

"The Empress Dingguo led her own army to guard the south, and your great-grand-empress was so angry that it resulted in the decree in Long Ziyue’s hand."

Speaking of this, Chu Jiangnan couldn’t help but laugh: "In the end, the tempers of your great-grand-empress and your grand-empress were indeed cut from the same cloth, both so proud and so childish."
