When Destiny Monk was done speaking… no one from the imperial family had any reactions. They were busy thinking about their own interests.
However, every officer and minister below sighed. Whether it was the Crown Prince Consort or the Third Lady it would be the same for them - the Crown Prince won and the Gu Family won. And what they needed to do was to suck up to the Crown Prince and the Gu Family. Neither of which would be a good thing for them.
However, if Lady Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl…
Things were different. She was engaged to Lord Huai.
Lord Huai might obtain some benefits from this point.
It was quite a lot of fun to see the Crown Prince and Lord Huai fighting with each other.
So it made those ministers and officers more relaxed. They could just take a side when either of them offered some interests that might benefit them.
