Even though Liu Yu noticed that Prince Fu did not look well, as his strategist, he still had to say what needed to be said.
"Your Highness, Minister Jiang's proposal is worth considering. However, it's not the right time yet. Let's observe the situation further. If Commander Lih doesn't trace anything back to you, there's naturally no need to consider these matters."
Prince Fu's expression indeed softened a bit.
Seeing his expression relax, Liu Yu pressed on, "If we really come to that last resort, Your Highness acknowledging to His Majesty that those iron mines are merely to supplement the royal estate's expenses would be far better than letting His Majesty suspect you of disloyalty."
Actually, it's not as serious as Prince Fu thinks. Let alone a Prince who manages a department, even those idle princes of humble maternal origin would seize any opportunity to do some silver-earning favors.
