Ji Qingyuan immediately understood what he meant. Looking at his firm expression, he asked tentatively, "If something really were to happen to His Majesty, I for one think that the Prince of Xiangyang is more suitable to inherit the throne."

Lu Hetian gave him a sidelong glance. "The Lu family will not be involved in the fight for the crown. We're only loyal to the Emperor."

Ji Qingyuan relaxed at these words. "That's good to hear." The Lu family has always been a force greatly sought after during factional strifes in the past. However, they held on to an ancestral instruction that forbade involvement in any sort of political dispute. They would only remain loyal to the emperor.

For Ji Qingyuan, Lu Hetian's words had the calming effect of a tranquilizer.

As long as the Lu family was not on the Crown Prince's side, the Prince of Xiangyang would have far fewer obstructions in his way.
