Perhaps it was just that in the face of Mu Houchu's dazzling means and schemes, one would appear incompetent.
So, did the whole court really think that the Emperor got to where he was today solely due to good luck and Mu Houchu's full support?
Recalling the scene of the strife among the princes for succession back then, how could the person who made it to the end have a shallow mind and lesser schemes?
Duan Lan pulled his thoughts back. Those past events had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to think or care about them.
There was no time to think too much about what was going on in Le Yuanhou's Mansion.
The only choice that lay before him at this moment was, if he wanted the Emperor's support and trust, he had to marry Li Junyan.
For him at this time, it was as if there was no choice at all.
