The Retired Emperor sighed long after reading the letter, looking at his eldest son. In the letter, the Fourth Son wrote apologies and that he had no regrets.
The Emperor, holding a string of pearls, said, "Father, you must be tired. Shall I escort you back? Mother is quite worried about you."
The Retired Emperor picked up the letter, "Alright."
The Emperor reached out to take the letter, "Would it be alright if I keep this letter?"
The Retired Emperor's lips moved slightly, finally releasing his grip. He knew his own son well enough—now that the Fourth Son was dead, all the past grievances and grudges would fade away. His son would not make things difficult for the Prince Liang Residence.
The Emperor watched his father leave, then looked at the letter again. Although it didn't contain any requests, it expressed all he wanted to say. With a sigh, he gestured to Eunuch Zhang to put away the letter.
