"I really don't know how this Ninth Prince managed it, to be chosen as emperor by the Da Meng Emperor and accepted by the Emperor's Sword," Chu Zhitian remarked.

Chu Mingxuan said, "Fourth Brother, you are very familiar with this Ninth Prince, right?"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly, "Li Hongzhao is indeed very capable."

"I truly didn't see it coming that she would become the emperor of Da Meng," Chu Mingxuan shook his head.
"I didn't see it either," said Chu Zhichuan.
