Su Xiaolu looked at his hurried back. She pondered for a moment and turned to ask Jin Liu, "Is the Crown Prince very tired?"
Jin Liu nodded. "Being the Crown Prince isn't easy. He's a little tired, but Master said that he's adapting very well."
It was nothing serious. It was just that he had been poisoned a few times and could only sleep for four hours a day. He had suffered a few times in silence.
It was more difficult now, but it would be fine when his own forces were consolidated.
What was difficult was not the external evils or the isolation and helplessness. In the palace, the emperor would not often take action. Because the empress did not believe or like it, she would not help, so Zhou Zhi would suffer.
He wanted to marry Su Xiaoling, so he chose the most difficult path. Even with Su Hua's help, it would be difficult. At least, it would not be easy for Su Hua for the next year or two.
Jin Liu would not tell Su Xiaolu all of this.
