"I…" Fourth Master looked at her for a long time, but couldn't continue.
What should he say?
Should he tell her that at that moment, he only thought that if the Fifth Prince was not incompetent, he could be named Crown Prince in the future? Yes, that had nothing to do with it. But a big part of his thoughts was because of this woman.
He thought that the Fifth Prince was born of her. Therefore, he was willing to give the Fifth Prince more opportunities.
Was he doing too much?
Could an emperor decide on a Crown Prince just based on his own preferences?
It was one thing for him to be partial to Lady Ye, but was he also being partial to the Fifth Prince?
Fourth Master felt a bit of panic; he was afraid he would become a foolish ruler. Enchanted by a woman, becoming an emperor who could not distinguish right from wrong.
Fourth Master was shocked, worried, but also filled with guilt.
