In order to make the Emperor feel at ease, he didn't get married and have children his entire life. After all, the Emperor only had an heir. At that time, he was the only one left in his family, and everyone else had died.
If he had retreated, he wouldn't have been a threat at all!

Xue Yan's mouth quivered, but he still opened his eyes.
He didn't let himself continue thinking about it. This was all in the past.
Xue Yan put away Pei Dongyu's letter and then replied to Pei Dongyu with another piece of paper.
