章 45: A Longtime Promise 1

Grand Duke Lu, the second brother to the emperor and only supporter of the Third prince 'Li Wei'

People always wondered why a man such as himself would have taken liking to the son of a mere concubine.

Little did they know that there was more hidden than they could ever imagine.

'I'll have to disagree with you, your majesty!"

"And why so, Grand duke?" Asked the emperor.

"We all know the rules your majesty, no one can receive a noble status without having a woman by his side, the crown prince cannot be crowned without his Crown princess and wife."

He declared as the entire hall was then filled with whispers.

"What a sly fox, I see what he's trying to do," said Ming Gao, Ming Mei's father.

He wanted the third prince to be fully secured and what better way to secure him than marrying a woman from a high and wealthy family.
