Kapitel 805: 785

Yan Huisheng went to see the Emperor.

The Emperor was sitting alone in front of the window in the West Hall. Seeing him come, he turned around and looked at him. "Why did you come to see me so quickly? Have you seen the private treasury of your Aunt Zhenmin yet?"

"I've seen it." Yan Huisheng looked at the Emperor. He rarely saw the Emperor looking so desolate, as if the weight of everything had been shed from his being, like something he had always persisted in was dissipating.

The Emperor gestured for him to sit, and then said, "I owe a lot to my cousin. Originally, she gave herself to Chu Rong, and Chu Rong was also willing to join forces with Daliang in the battle against Dawei. Yet, I feared, so I begged my cousin to break her promise to Chu Rong, agreeing to marry and form an alliance with Dawei instead."

Yan Huisheng was unaware of these events, as no one had ever told him.
