The Eldest Princess

Chapter 29

Xuan Ruichen didn't know what was wrong with him.

At night, when he closed his eyes and lay on the dragon bed, the image of his sister's wrist with Buddhist beads wrapped around it kept flashing in his mind.

In addition, there are many unsolved questions swirling in his mind.

What exactly happened between the imperial sister and Wei Rong?

Why didn't he know about the past between his aunt and his father? Why didn't anyone in the palace mention it?

The aunt who always only cared about her own business was once willing to take the risk to save my father. But now, let alone protecting my father's children, she didn't even see my father off on his last journey.

Too many questions made it difficult for him to fall asleep, and all the complicated emotions finally turned into a simple impulse - he wanted to go to Qianqiu Palace to find Li Wenzhong for confirmation.

As soon as he left the room, the chill of the night air made him clear-headed again, and he immediately realized that his inexplicable panic and uneasiness was caused by fear.

After forcing himself to calm his restless emotions, the fear in his heart deepened.

As he walked step by step towards Qianqiu Palace, Xuan Ruichen had plenty of time to calm himself down.

Now he could even calmly ask the questions that had been bothering him in the middle of the night.

Faced with his questions, Li Wenzhong did not dare to answer casually.

The boy in front of him was not just any noble son in the imperial city, but the future of Daxuan—no! He was the current master of Daxuan.

His every move is related to the direction of Daxuan, and every subtle thought of his is enough to influence his future choices.

Why would His Majesty suddenly ask such a question, and come to Qianqiu Palace late at night...

Could it be that he was worried that the former King Kang and the late emperor would be the emperor and the eldest princess in the future?

Li Wenzhong secretly sighed that he had previously thought that the present Majesty was like the former emperor. How ignorant he was.

It is obvious that there is a big difference between Your Majesty and the late emperor in terms of suspicion.

Suspicion is an indispensable thing for an emperor.

It was because the late emperor was too trusting and soft-hearted towards his brother that all the disasters that followed were caused.

But being too suspicious is not good either.

Your Majesty began to doubt too early, which made him feel cold all over.

Thinking of the late emperor's instructions, and the fact that he himself did not want to see the siblings fall out with each other, he began to think quickly about how to answer in order to allay the emperor's doubts.

The new policy has not yet been implemented and the foundation is unstable. It is not a good thing for the siblings to become estranged at this time.

Considering that Prince Kang's crimes deserved death, Princess Minghui's actions were beyond reproach.

Li Wenzhong decided to downplay the relationship between brothers and emphasize the relationship between brothers and sisters.

"Your Majesty, although I have been with you since I was young, I dare not say that I fully understand the late emperor's thoughts. I can only say my own opinion."
