"Old Master is grateful for the young master's offer, and will surely bring Xiao Long to the appointment three nights from now."
It was then that Old Master Yu finally regained a bit of composure.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Yao Guang expressed some doubts, "Miss, Old Master Yu seems reluctant to give up on Tenth Prince Fu Yuanjun's ascension to the throne."
Ji Ruyan smiled slightly, "He doesn't want to give up, indeed. No one would willingly hand over an imperial throne that is within grasp. However, his wishes are irrelevant now, for if Consort Wan is confirmed by Marquis Changan to be the one who poisoned the prince, it's not just about losing the Dragon Throne; the entire Yu Clan could be implicated. He certainly understands what weighs more heavily. It's just that he can't let go right now, and moreover, with Yu Xiaolong's return, he will be able to see the whole situation in Shengjing clearly."
