Chapter 299: Precedent

Lei Xing was honestly not even sure why she came here.

When she left the Emperor, she had actually planned to go see Li Ru but then as she went along she suddenly realized that she did not want to be there when the Minister of Rites arrived with his announcement...It would be awkward.

Moreover, Li Ru was not someone who would understand her current reservations on this matter. As as far Li Ru was concerned, Lei Xing should be happy that the Emperor is so in love with her that he has chosen to exclude all others. 

And Lei Xing was happy, so happy she wanted to take the leap and give him the child he wanted. But there was still the politics of the matter in play and the Emperor seemed to be dismissing it all a bit too easily...Could it truly that simple? Was she simply thinking too much, being too cynical about it all?
