"The Edict Of Grace!!!"
"Good, good, good! What an ingenious Decree! Qinghe, how did you co up with such a brilliant strategy?!"
After reading the morial regarding the Edict Of Grace, Emperor Xue Ye stood up excitedly, his eyes burning as he looked at "Xue Qinghe."
Prince Xue Xing was startled, looking at "Xue Qinghe" with confusion.
What kind of morial could make Emperor Xue Ye react so intensely?
"Xue Qinghe" was not surprised. The Edict Of Grace was an exceptional strategy, and such a strong reaction was completely reasonable!She smiled slightly and silently expressed her gratitude to Dan Heng, then humbly replied:
"Father has been worried about this issue for a long ti. As your child, I have been constantly thinking about how I can help alleviate your concerns. Last night, as I lay sleepless, a sudden flash of inspiration led to this plan."
"Xue Qinghe" thought to herself: Thank you, Mr. Dan Heng. I feel guilty for plagiarizing your idea! I'll make sure to repay you generously in the future!
"Good, good, good!" Emperor Xue Ye was even more pleased.
"All the officials in the court are not as capable as my Crown Prince! Qinghe, you have done well! You have solved one of my major concerns! Tell , what reward do you desire?"
Emperor Xue Ye asked.
"Xue Qinghe" cupped her hands and said:
"This is rely fulfilling my duty as a child and a minister to serve the country and ease Your Majesty's worries. I do not dare to ask for a reward!"
"That won't do! Tomorrow, I shall present the Edict Of Grace to the court ministers for debate. Won't they be utterly ashad?!"
Emperor Xue Ye laughed heartily, growing more delighted as he reviewed the morial.
Prince Xue Xing beca even more curious, staring at "Xue Qinghe" eagerly.
What kind of proposal could make "Xue Qinghe" achieve another great rit?
Even with all the advisors in his own residence, none of them had been able to co up with a solution.
Why was "Xue Qinghe" able to?
The Next Morning
Prince Xue Xing's curiosity was finally answered.
When the Edict Of Grace was presented, not a single court official opposed it. Instead, they all praised "Xue Qinghe."
"Xue Qinghe" basked in the mont, enjoying the attention and recognition.
Prince Xue Xing suspiciously observed "Xue Qinghe," thinking to himself:
"Could this guy have secretly taken Dan Heng for himself?
Otherwise, how could the Crown Prince's retainers possibly co up with such a brilliant strategy?"
Emperor Xue Ye did not probe further. Since the idea ca from "Xue Qinghe," the reward naturally belonged to "Xue Qinghe."
He then announced a lavish reward.
None of the officials objected.
They all understood the profound and far-reaching impact of the Tui'en Decree and the imnse benefits it would bring to the Heaven Dou Empire.
If an ordinary person had proposed such a plan, Emperor Xue Ye wouldn't hesitate to grant them a noble title!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
By midday, news of what had transpired in court had already reached Ning Fengzhi.
He was enjoying morning tea with Sword Douluo while discussing the matter of spirit beasts.
Upon receiving the news, he imdiately inquired about the details of the Edict Of Grace.
After hearing it, both he and Sword Douluo fell silent.
They were both utterly shocked by the decree.
The more they analyzed it, the more terrifying it seed.
This might be the greatest overt sche in the history of the Douluo Continent!
"This strategy is truly remarkable! Whoever ca up with it is a genius!" Sword Douluo suddenly praised.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, contemplating:
"No one among Qinghe's retainers should be capable of devising such a plan..."
"Upon investigation, it appears that Chrysanthemum Douluo erased so traces. In the households of the two spirit beasts, there seems to be a male figure. That should be the sa Dan Heng who first proposed the Spirit Hall conspiracy theory!"
"If he was the one who ca up with this plan, then it is no surprise at all..."
A aningful smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.
He had always enjoyed associating with talented individuals.
And Dan Heng was undoubtedly a rare talent. Now, with spirit beasts as his wives...
Who exactly was Dan Heng?
Was he truly just an ordinary person?
Or was he also a spirit beast?
His natural curiosity made Ning Fengzhi eager to find out.
Sword Douluo, however, continued sipping his tea, rely marveling at Dan Heng's intellect without feeling any particular urge to et him.
Moreover, regarding those two spirit beasts...
Zi Ji was manageable—though he might not defeat her, he wouldn't be in mortal danger.
But against Gu Yuena...
He felt genuine fear.
That was an opponent who could actually kill him!
"I must find an opportunity to et and befriend Mr. Dan Heng!"
Ning Fengzhi made up his mind.
anwhile
Dan Heng and his family were having breakfast, later than usual.
Last night, Gu Yuena had kept him occupied, and neither of them had gotten much rest.
[T/N: 😏]
For the first ti since arriving in the Douluo Continent, Dan Heng had slept in.
Gu Yuena truly deserved her title as the Silver Dragon King—her stamina and combat abilities were terrifying.
Zi Ji grumbled softly, "I'm starving... and you're still sleeping in..."
Gu Yuena shot her a cold look and said, "Can't you shut up while eating?"
Zi Ji trembled and fell silent.
Just then—
There was a knock at the door.
Zhu Zhuqing swiftly moved to answer it.
Monts later, she returned with "Xue Qinghe" beside her.
"Xue Qinghe" looked radiant and full of energy, clearly in high spirits.
The mont she entered, she clasped her hands together and said to Dan Heng:
"Thank you, Mr. Dan Heng, for the Edict Of Grace. The entire Heaven Dou court is now marveling at its brilliance."
"It's a pity that I shalessly took credit for it. Otherwise, you would have been granted a noble title for your contributions!"
"Xue Qinghe" gazed at Dan Heng, hoping to persuade him.
However, Dan Heng's expression remained unchanged.
It was as if the entire matter had nothing to do with him.
"Xue Qinghe" sighed inwardly. Perhaps only a man like Dan Heng could devise such a strategy.
"Has Your Highness eaten? Why not join us?"
Gu Yuena broke the silence, easing the awkward atmosphere.
Zi Ji imdiately protested in a whisper, "There's barely enough food as it is..."
"Gladly!"
"Xue Qinghe's" eyes lit up—she had co precisely at alti.
Zhu Zhuqing went to fetch more bowls and chopsticks.
"Xue Qinghe" then said sincerely, "Mr. Dan Heng, rest assured, as long as you wish to remain hidden, no one will learn of your true identity from ."
"But I will always keep my gratitude for you. Whenever you need anything, I will repay the favor."
She spoke earnestly.
Dan Heng shook his head slightly and gave a soft grunt of acknowledgnt.
He had a good impression of "Xue Qinghe."
At least she kept her word and never caused him trouble.
"I'll be heading out. I promised a friend I'd help tend to his flowers..." Dan Heng said to Gu Yuena.
It was still his day off, so he planned to retrieve the flowers Chrysanthemum Douluo had entrusted him with and then visit the library.
"Alright, husband!"
Gu Yuena responded with a bright smile.
