Noble Consort Yang intently gazed at Princess Pingyang.
She faced her mother directly and said softly,
"What does Mother want me to say?"
"Aren't you usually very scheming? Why not plan how your brother can deal with Chen Yuan and rescue your uncle from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau?"
"Deal with Chen Yuan?" Princess Pingyang said gravely,
"What the Prince should do is to befriend Chen Yuan, show his openness to those in the Capital concerned with this matter, choose justice over family ties, and not make an enemy of Chen Yuan over something as trivial as the remnants of Qingyun. As for uncle... it's good for him to learn a lesson."
She was not speaking for Chen Yuan, but when viewed from an objective standpoint, this was indeed the best choice. As a Prince, how could he lack such foresight?
This matter, though seemingly trivial, was being watched by countless eyes, perhaps even by the Emperor, who had long dwelled within the deep palace.
