A Ruler's Word Is His Bond

"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Seventh Prince... shall never enter the capital for the rest of his life unless summoned. Let this be proclaimed throughout the land, so that all may know." He silently accepted the imperial edict from the eunuch. His long lashes veiled the disdain in his eyes. He had not really listened to its contents. When someone wants to pin a crime on you, they'll always find an excuse. All he wanted was that final sentence. P.S. Due to certain circumstances, Xiao Jiu has changed the relationships between the male leads a little. Please forgive me! P.S.1: This is a cliched transmigration palace romance, with an older male lead. My writing is still inexperienced and hasn't improved, the plot is old-fashioned and slow-paced, and it has all the melodramatic tropes and outrageous drama you can imagine, with a touch of Mary Sue and Gary Stu. So, if you've got a strong heart, have your lightning rod ready, and are mentally prepared, come take the plunge. P.S.2: This story was published before. I've tidied it up and am posting it again. Announcement: I've been busy looking for a job lately and haven't had time to write. As soon as I logged on yesterday, my editor sent me a notice. So, O(∩_∩)O~ This story will go VIP on August 1, which is Thursday. Many thanks for all your support! Reposting is not allowed. If you previously reposted this story, please delete it immediately.
