Prince Lu Wei wondered if the Emperor knew of his daughter's proposal to him. After spending some times in Da Cheng, Prince Lu Wei could sense that most of the times, Princess Lingchen did not consult the Emperor with her decision.
For example, Prince Lu Wei knew that the Emperor was not aware that he had accidentally found out about the poison in the Princess body. The Emperor did not know that Princess Lingchen provided him with her protection in exchange for keeping the secret. That made him wonder, what would the Emperor do if the Emperor found out about this matter.
"I wanted your opinion," the Emperor spoke carefully. "What do you think? What are your plans?"
How could Prince Lu Wei did not understand what the Emperor was trying to say to him? Wasn't the Emperor trying to tell him subtly to return to Qian Rong with the ambassador?
Prince Lu Wei certainly did not expect his brother to use this method to bring him back.
