"So what you mean is, I still have to go to Duke Dingguo Mansion tomorrow?"
"A visit wouldn't hurt."
Luo Shunchen spread his hands, signifying his agreement.
Ji Ruyan pouted, having no choice but to cease her resistance.
If she had to go, then so be it. She hadn't decided on how to deal with Empress Gu these days anyway.
After all, as long as Emperor Fu Aotian hadn't settled on a Crown Prince, Empress Gu certainly wouldn't act hastily.
Minister Zhong's daughter had already been promised to Brother Crown Prince. Even if Empress Gu wanted to make another move, it would take time.
"Forget these worries for now. Shall I accompany you for a stroll in the garden? The autumn chrysanthemums in the palace are particularly lovely at this time."
Luo Shunchen suggested.
"That would be nice."
The pair walked around the garden, and Ji Ruyan's somewhat gloomy mood finally found some relief.
"When will Brother Crown Prince likely return?"
