Nianzu found that the conversation with the Empress heavily influenced Huo Jin's thoughts. "Prince Nianzu, I neglected many things about myself until today the Empress asked me. That night I was running away, leaving Xinyue behind. I never loved her because if I had, then I would've chosen her above everything," Huo Jin said with a sigh. He moved his right leg back and forth on the ground that was filled with pebbles.
Nianzu wondered what Ying Lili talked about with Huo Jin that made him come to this conclusion. It was tough to waver Huo Jin's mind for them. But Ying Lili did it in just one meeting.
"Your Highness, forgive me for my rudeness earlier. Indeed, you were right and I neglected the Prince's advice," stated Huo Jin.
"You don't need to apologize. I'm glad that you realized it. Are you ready to let go of her?" Nianzu queried him.
