"Princess Wei, the Holy Emperor invites you to the Diligent Governance Hall for a discussion," Li Yuzong said with the utmost respect.
Wei Liru smiled radiantly. "Thank you for the invitation, Eunuch. I will go at once."
But she didn't move.
Li Yuzong gently prompted her, "I must return to the hall to attend to my duties. Please, Your Highness, come quickly."
Once Eunuch Li was a good distance away, Wei Liru stepped closer to Ji Qingwu.
'She already had her suspicions. The reason Yuan Heng was so close to this woman from the Ji Family was obvious: the Ji Family wanted to use the connection to the Prince as a pretext to get one of their own into the palace and compete for the Emperor's favor.'
Wei Liru lowered her voice. "Miss Ji, trying to win the Holy Emperor's affection by getting close to the Young Master... that's not a very clever tactic."
'The Emperor would never allow someone with ulterior motives near the Prince.'
