Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1477: Investigate Thoroughly

“Father, I believe the Shao family’s side branch wouldn’t commit such a heinous act without backing from the main family. I request that you issue a decree to investigate the Luoyang-Shao family thoroughly.”

The old Emperor had thought that settling the Shao family in the capital would be enough. He did not expect the Third Prince to be so dissatisfied and even wish to uproot the Luoyang-Shao family.

He was furious.

Although he was very afraid of the Luoyang-Shao family, he was genuinely in love with the old Princess Consort. He had also been influenced by many pillow talks, so he held her son, Prince Luoyang, in high regard.

Now that the Third Prince wanted to take down the Luoyang-Shao family, how could he agree to it?

“The Luoyang-Shao family shouldn’t have anything to do with this. Perhaps the Shao family in the capital did it behind our backs. Yan’er, you don’t have to care about this. I—”

“Father, you said ‘perhaps’ too. Or perhaps the Luoyang-Shao family ordered someone to murder Eldest Brother?”

Eldest Brother Yan would not give the old Emperor a chance to refute. He was determined to destroy the Luoyang-Shao family… No, he was determined to help Qian Jiyun destroy the Luoyang-Shao family.

“I think we should investigate this matter thoroughly. Even if the Luoyang-Shao family is not involved in this, we should investigate it before coming to a conclusion. Father, we musn’t let Eldest Brother die in vain.”

Seeing that the old Emperor was unwilling, he pulled the late Eldest Prince card.

It would be impossible for his father to not act like a good father in front of all the civil and military officials. He would definitely ask him to investigate this matter.

Even if the old Emperor had already made up his mind to prevent him from finding anything, he would do it.

“Well…”

Eldest Brother Yan knelt down and said sincerely, “Father, I request that you issue a decree to investigate the Luo family thoroughly and seek justice for Eldest Brother.”

The old Emperor was naturally hesitant. He did not have much influence to begin with. If he exposed the Luoyang-Shao family, wouldn’t he lose another arm?

However, given the current situation, it seemed like he had no choice but to allow it.

“I agree, Your Majesty. I believe the Shao family in the capital must have obtained their main family’s support to plot against the imperial heir. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare go against the royal family even if they were given 10,000 times more guts.”

“I agree too. Regardless of whether the Luoyang-Shao family is involved or not, we can only find out after an investigation. Your Majesty, we can’t let the Eldest Prince die without reason.”

“Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince is innocent. I request Your Majesty to issue a decree to investigate the Eldest Prince’s case thoroughly.”

The ministers stood up one after another to speak up for Eldest Brother Yan. They were not Eldest Brother Yan’s people though; most of the ministers who spoke up used to support the Eldest Prince.

There were also those who were simply righteous. They had heard much about the Luoyang-Shao family and believed that such a family should not exist.

A smaller portion of them believed that even if the Eldest Prince’s case had nothing to do with the Luoyang-Shao family, it would be advantageous to involve them. This way, they could eradicate the scourges in the Luoyang-Shao family in one fell swoop and spare other families from harm.

“You… you all…”

The old Emperor was furious.
