When he saw this girl previously, he was left with an extremely displeasing impression.
In general, women were like this, only concerned with romance in their hearts. At that time, this girl’s heart was hung up on her engagement with Murong Chang Feng. Everything she did was a huge joke.
Meeting her today, Retired Emperor felt that he seemed to have just gotten to know this girl only now.
Each of her steps were prudent and measured, neither panicky nor impatient. Despite her young age, she actually understood the weight of a matter and controlled it. Most important of all, she valued relationships and righteousness. If Ole Third married her in the future, he’d be able to find happiness.
Retired Emperor also thought, his grandson’s temperament was as apathetic as ice, who could possibly suit him for a lifetime.
Considering all options, there were plenty of girls with good family backgrounds.
As for one who could enclose and warm up his heart, there truly wasn’t any.
For so many years, Retired Emperor had always worried that Baili Jia Jue would go astray and become a tyrant.
After all, that kind of deep and immeasurable personality was indeed suitable for a monarch. Yet it’s too cold, so cold that all of the people in the world seemed to be of no importance to him at all.
Everyone said that it’s not important to have feelings to be a monarch.
True, feelings could handicap a monarch.
However, that didn’t necessarily mean that it’s necessary to be completely cold-blooded in order to dominate the world.
If this was so, the ones to suffer would be the common people.
This icy youngster needed a person who could make him soften once in awhile.
It’s not enough for that person to rely solely on innocence and naivety.
In the imperial palace as well as in the court, there were just too many lures. The slightest lack of caution could cause one to fall into a trap.
This girl must be strong, yet not unbending, powerful, yet not brutal. She must have something to help her persevere, so she wouldn’t easily be engulfed.
Until now, he’d only discovered the signs of some of these qualities first within this girl.
Thinking to this point, when Retired Emperor looked at Wei Wei, many expressions also unfolded.
This caused Wei Wei to be at a loss and immediately subtly stroked the bridge of her nose in confusion. What’s the meaning behind Retired Emperor’s satisfaction within that unfathomable gaze?
One couldn’t help but say that this person, Wei Wei, was born with a pair of eyes that made people like her. Even though that face was a little black, however, that pair of eyes was quite dazzling when she became astute, and when she’s dazed or blanked out, she then looked awfully adorable.
The more Retired Emperor looked, the more he was pleased. In his heart, he already categorized Wei Wei as someone who’s straightforward and smart. He retracted his gaze and casted it on Chen Wen Wan. “I’m asking you one final question, have you only told the truth?”
“Yes!” Chen Wen Wan bit her thin lips, only aware that all strength already left her as she bowed and kneeled on the ground, without even looking up. “All of these things were done solely by me, with no relation to anyone else.”
Retired Emperor’s expression was indifferent. “Someone come, drag her away for me and detain her in prison until we return to the capital, before meting out her punishment.”
