Empress Dowager Su paused heavily at this point, then continued to speak.
"Now, everyone is convinced that you attacked your Uncle, even if you deny it, it's the same. If you don't issue a decree of self-indictment, you'll have to face the Imperial Clan Court's scrutiny. Do you think the things you've done before can leave absolutely no trace?"
"If they find out, you'll be expelled by the clan. That's why I agreed to you issuing a decree of self-indictment. You can completely blame it on youthful indiscretion, and by behaving well in the future, the clan won't make things difficult for you."
"In the future, when you truly control the Dayan Kingdom, who would dare disrespect you? Then, you can repay Rong Ling for the humiliation today by declaring that what you do today is all for Dayan, for the people, to avoid chaos. By that time, who in Dayan wouldn't call you, Rong Che, a wise monarch who bears the humiliation for the greater good."
