章 896: Chapter 898 Helen Xue's Resentment (2)

"Hehe, that's because the Emperor already regards you, Yi'er, as the potential heir apparent. Therefore, he cannot allow any blemish on your reputation. Now that you have returned victorious, all you need to do is to ascertain who is behind the plot against Duke Li Guo Mansion. Then you can immediately clear yourself of the accusation of harming your brothers. After that, it will only be natural for the Emperor to appoint you as The Prince and restore your Imperial Mother, the Empress's, privileges!"

Nangong Yi bowed his head and said, "Grandson understands. Grandson will do his best!"

The old master added, "You must be cautious. Jin Guifei and The Prince have been scheming for many years and are not so easily defeated. A single misstep could lead to total defeat. You must not underestimate your enemy."

"Grandson understands. I will proceed to take care of it promptly and will not disappoint you!"
