无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Jiang Ning sneered inwardly.

This fat Emperor is really a poser.

“I think it’s pretty good,” she said.

“Oh?”

What’s with that ‘oh’?

Jiang Ning was impatient in her heart but maintained a smile on her face, “This shows that Prince of Yu values love and loyalty. He is not like the King of Chen, a white-eyed wolf, a disloyal and unrighteous person.”

“As for King of Chen… let’s not talk about him.” The Emperor obviously didn’t want to say more about such a treacherous, unfilial son, and his tone became lighter, “You say Prince of Yu is good, loyal and righteous. But he knowingly abandoned me to save you when I was in danger. Is this his loyalty as a subject and a son?”

“His Majesty is the most respected and closest person to him. It is because of this that his loyalty and selflessness are shown. I believe that at the time, he must have gone through a painful struggle in his heart. In the end, he chose to save the Jiang Family because he knew that His Majesty was unparalleled in blessings, and Prince of Huai was already on his way to the Imperial Palace. Even knowing that he would lose credit to Prince of Huai, he resolutely pressed on. Isn’t this enough to prove that Prince of Yu is a true-hearted prince who despises fame and fortune and wholeheartedly serves the people?”

The Emperor listened with a hint of surprise, thinking that this girl was quite good at coaxing.

But her righteous words seemed somewhat convincing?

“No matter what, the fact remains that he regards the state’s foundation as insignificant. Although I know he is filial, I can’t always favor him.”

“So, is Your Majesty going to make Prince of Huai the Crown Prince?”

The Emperor looked at her, “Is this something you can speculate about?”

“Why not?” Jiang Ning looked innocent, “Your Majesty is the lord of all people, and we are all your subjects. If the future Crown Prince is our lord, can’t we ask just one question? Is this some taboo, unspeakable matter?”

II II

This girl was clearly making a strong case, but why did it sound so reasonable?

To prevent himself from being dragged into a hole, the Emperor quickly said, “Don’t ask too much about the matter of the Crown Prince. You’ll know soon.”

Jiang Ning didn’t speak.

The Emperor continued, “This time I summoned you into the palace, first to see if you and the little princes are doing well, and if you have been frightened. Secondly, I want to ask, how do you think I should deal with Prince of Yu?” Jiang Ning was taken aback, “Deal with Prince of Yu? Why?”

“Previously, he beat Imperial Court Officials in the street. I punished him to be locked up for three months, but the matter in the Hall of Virtue is still unfinished. Now, he disregards the rules and leads troops to rescue the Jiang Family, which is the second issue. If I don’t punish him, how can I govern the state?”

“His Majesty can decide on his punishment. You don’t need to ask me.”

“After all, it’s because Prince of Yu tried to save you that he was punished, so I have to ask for your opinion.”

“Your Majesty, I dare not say more,” Jiang Ning refused to speak up.

Did the Emperor want to give her a guilty conscience?

Dream on.

She would never punish herself for others’ mistakes, not even mental punishment.

It was Prince of Yu who came to save her, not her begging for it, nor her forcing him.

The Emperor asked her with several meanings.

Old and cunning.

Looking at her familiar beautiful face, the Emperor couldn’t bring himself to say tough words.

Who would have thought that she looked exactly like his dream lover, the most beautiful moment of the white moonlight?

“In that case, I’ll have Prince of Yu go to guard the tomb in the desolate and cold Subei.”

“That works,” Jiang Ning said with a relaxed expression.

The Emperor couldn’t help but say, “Do you know, Subei is a desolate and cold place, where he can only live in hardship, and is far away from the power center of Chang’an City..”
