"Brother Jian, you were the one who used to tell me to get rid of Sheng Li. Now, you are telling me to leave that path. Your mother is right. After the Crown Princess entered, you have changed. Do you like her? Does Sheng Li know about this? I cannot believe the First Brother changed himself because of a mere woman," Yongzheng chuckled and mocked him.
Jian Guozhi put both of his hands on Yongzheng's shoulders. "Yongzheng, I never wanted to do that. I was influenced by the wrong thoughts regarding Sheng Li. Whenever I used to punish him for no reason, I used to feel guilty. However, greed had overpowered my mind, and I never cared about anything else, nor even a person's emotions.
Indeed, after the Crown Princess entered this Imperial Palace, I changed. I will not deny it. But she is a human. Sometimes, a human can change you, make you think twice on your own decisions," Jian Guozhi politely explained to Yongzheng, who yanked his hands away.
