"But, didn't King Liang order to..." The deposed Crown Prince couldn't finish his sentence as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Originally, King Liang did order the execution of your wife and child, but it was the second young lady who sent people to rescue them," Fu Ruoxi whispered, "His Majesty sent people to care for your wife and child all this time, and they are quite safe now."
The deposed Crown Prince hurriedly knelt upright, sincerely bowing towards Bai Qingyan: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Mrs. Qin! In this life... I will never reveal to the child that we were once part of the Jin Kingdom's imperial family. I only wish for a peaceful life, for that child to live as a commoner and to survive—nothing more!"
According to reason, when a new dynasty ascends the throne, the bloodline of the former imperial family... should be completely eradicated, to weed out the roots.
