Gu Xingchuan's dissatisfaction with Xiao Jinxing was quite undisguised.
Song Yanqing stood by, suddenly at a loss for words.
Even though back then, between the Emperor and Prince Chu, the Emperor seized the throne and Prince Chu died, ultimately, the Emperor was schemed against by Prince Chu. If not for the Empress pretending to be dead at Prince Chu's command, the Emperor wouldn't have lived the last five years like this, nor would the Bai Family have gained such a huge advantage.
Although Song Yanqing had just defended the Emperor a lot and fully understood his feelings, he still found some fault with the Emperor's actions. A person with absolute hegemonic power like the Emperor shouldn't leave any hidden dangers for himself. Even if he planned to relinquish power eventually, handing over the choice to someone he deemed most trustworthy, he shouldn't have given the option to others. Ultimately, he lost his judgment because of the Empress.
