Capítulo 1299: 03: Shang Junyan Side Story

After the new emperor ascended the throne, Shang Junyan decided to resign from his official post.

Thrice he submitted his resignation, but His Majesty refused each time, leaving him quite helpless.

He didn't want to remain in the capital; since his resignation was not granted, he chose to be assigned elsewhere.

Staying in the capital and witnessing His Majesty's deep love for Xin Yi always made him feel uncomfortable; moreover, he was constantly pressured by his family to marry. After much thought, he decided it was best to leave.

Thus, he submitted a petition requesting to be stationed elsewhere.

His Majesty approved this time, assigning him to serve as Magistrate in the distant Cangnan County, which had been a stronghold of Prince Yi's followers. Shang Junyan knew that he was sent there to clean up the mess left by Prince Yi.

Shang Junyan willingly accepted the imperial decree and left the capital.
