"That's because you people are foolish. Do you really think that the emperor is the same as the old emperor twenty years ago? Stop dreaming of controlling him, and you guys are overthinking." Chancellor Liu smirked and continued, "I won't be as stupid as you people. Besides, it was Tan Shuangshuang who had volunteered to receive the punishment on my son's behalf. How is that my son's fault?"
Hmph! Minister Li brushed his long sleeve, his eyes were filled with hatred. "Do you think that I'm not aware of your thoughts? Don't you still wish for the princess to be your daughter-in-law so that you can flaunt among the nobles and climb up to a higher position? Do you really think that… the princess would only marry into your family?"
Chancellor Liu squinted and said, "Yuchen is still young, and he will realize that what I have done now is for his own good in the future. By then, the princess will surely become the Liu family's daughter-in-law. There is no doubt about it."
