Chương 262: An Actual Princess

Hu Dengxiao blinked a few times before letting out an awkward laugh. He waved his hands in front of him and cupped his ear. "I apologize, Your Highness, but what did you just say? Silly me, I thought I heard something strange."

"Did I stutter?" Yu Zhen asked as he began to walk down the hallway leading to his side of the grand palace.

Hu Dengxiao hurriedly chased after his Commander. Yu Zhen was now the Crown Prince of Hanjian. But the idea of calling him by that new title felt strange. It was a difficult selection that surprised everyone, but not his supporters. There were many people in court who had always supported the Second Prince over the First.

"Hanjian's peace treaty with Wuyi is straining," Yu Zhen said.
