Sang Yan didn't know that He Ying had already considered the far-reaching consequences of their relationship. Seeing his silence, she spoke her mind.
In fact, the reason she had laid out so much groundwork was to lead up to these few sentences.
"Actually, what the common people want is nothing more than to have enough to eat and drink and to live in peace. They're truly easy to satisfy."
Sang Yan's expression was solemn as her voice took a turn, "The inevitable battle with Beiqi, I fear, cannot be avoided. Xinyuan, I believe you are more suitable to be the Lord of the World than Qi Wuya."
At this point, she paused before continuing, "So, Xinyuan, promise me, be a good Emperor."
She too believed that He Ying would make a good Emperor.
If it was necessary to determine a winner between him and Qi Wuya, both publicly and privately, she wished for He Ying to be the victor.
"Do whatever you need to do with boldness. I will always be here."
