"Your Highness, do you really believe that Prince Yun harbors no ulterior motives?" Weng Qing asked as he watched Yang Ruxin leave.
"Whether I believe it or not, Prince Yun must not come to harm." The Crown Prince's gaze fell on a certain spot outside the carriage window, revealing none of his emotions.
Weng Qing said no more and drove the carriage away.
Inside the Royal Study Room of the Palace.
Emperor Xuanjing sat behind the dragon desk, looking rather somber, clearly still affected by the incident involving the Poisonous Insect.
"Emperor." Yang Ruxin entered and bowed.
"Xinxin, what do you think of this matter?" Emperor Xuanjing looked up.
"Hasn't the Emperor already formed an opinion?" Yang Ruxin shrugged, "So whether it is or isn't, it's best to investigate thoroughly."
"Right, it's best to investigate thoroughly." Emperor Xuanjing smiled, "I'll leave it to you then."
"Can I refuse?"
Emperor Xuanjing shook his head: "That would be disobedience."
