Su Liang agreed at the time.

"Master, Miss Su usually keeps her word, perhaps something held her up tonight. Shall I go and check on her?" Chang'an asked.

Duanmu Chen nodded, then shook his head a second later, "No need."

Chang'an sighed deeply, "But now... I thought that since the emperor deposed the crown prince, that position would definitely belong to the master. Who knew it would fall on the second prince's head instead."
