By then, Cheng Guang would take out the jade pendant hanging from the neck of the Queen of South Ming, to drag the back-stabber, who was the crown prince or rather the shadow lurking in the dark corner, into the sunlight.
As she left the courtyard, Qing Luan adjusted the hem of Cheng Guang's robe for him, standing with her hands clasped behind her back, smiling with squinted eyes at Cheng Guang.
Under the morning glow, Cheng Guang stood tall and straight, even more handsome and dashing than when he first came to this world.
All over him, apart from a natural air of nobility, there was also a sense of detachment that came with holding a high position for a long time.
As Qing Luan sized up Cheng Guang, he was also taking her measure.
After looking at Qing Luan for a while, he said warmly with a smile, "If you have some free time, you can also go out for a stroll. There's no need to keep yourself cooped up in the courtyard all day."
