Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World

Chapter 296: Chapter 297: Choose to Protect Pei Chengye Chapter 296: Chapter 297: Choose to Protect Pei Chengye The Emperor’s eyes reddened at the mention of Consort Ming, tears swirling ceaselessly within his eyes.

He lamented, “I have always felt that Consort Ming’s death was rather strange, but I had just ascended the throne, the Imperial Court was unstable, and the Zheng Family wielded immense power. Without any evidence found, the matter was shelved.”

Pei Huaian’s cool gaze finally softened upon hearing his father’s words, for he had always thought that his father was indifferent to his mother’s death.

He had not expected that, after all these years, he had misjudged the Emperor, who also had his compelling reasons.

The Emperor, filled with remorse, looked at Pei Huaian and continued, “At that time, you were still young; I was worried that the Empress might harm you, so I had no choice but to have you raised under her name.”

Only in this way would the Empress dare not lay a hand on Pei Huaian, because if anything indeed happened to him, the blame would fall upon her. Thus, she would protect Pei Huaian as he grew up, no matter what.

The Emperor also knew that Pei Huaian had feigned the role of a profligate son all these years to put the Empress at ease; only by doing so could he assure the Empress and remove her concerns.

At that time, the Emperor felt immensely relieved.
