Chapter 687: Chapter 688: Contradictions between Enemies and Internal Contradictions

Prince Xinhai's request greatly surprised the Emperor.

He carefully examined Prince Xinhai to make sure he was not simple-minded and then asked, "Are you referring to Prince of Zhao, Li You?"

"Indeed, His Highness Prince of Zhao."

"I'm afraid Prince of Zhao won't have a favorable impression of you," the Emperor hinted.

Prince Xinhai bowed his head again and said seriously, "Indeed. However, precisely because of this, Prince of Zhao will certainly handle the matter impartially and will not favor either side."

The Emperor smiled.

This Prince Xinhai was not just full of lust; he had some wits too.

Indeed, he had a grudge against Prince of Zhao, who must have despised him. But would Prince of Zhao have a good impression of the Crown Prince?

From a blood relationship perspective, they were half-brothers sharing the same father, so by common sense, they should naturally be closer to each other than external enemies.

But there are always exceptions.
