Seeing this, the Fifth Princess Consort prepared the draft she had ready to speak before others.
"As the royal heir, my husband naturally bears a heavier burden. I suppose you've heard, everyone outside wants him to go to the disaster area, but..."
"He also wants to go, but there's really no way."
As she spoke, she wiped tears from the corner of her eye.
"The Holy Emperor's health is weak, and the Court's matters big and small cannot be fully taken care of. If we compare the disaster area to the front line, the court is the command camp; someone must always be there to strategize and plan."
"But unfortunately, the common people don't understand this and talk nonsense outside. It feels like a knife to the heart hearing it, but my husband doesn't care about these things; he just wants to do his duty with a clear conscience."
This explained why the Fifth Prince didn't leave Shangjing.
Yu Tingwan remained expressionless.
