Standing behind Mo Lingwei, Wu Fang broke into a slight sweat.
'Is this why the Crown Prince insisted on delivering the Imperial Decree himself?'
'Ordinary people have to kneel to receive an Imperial Decree. Miss Shen is young and doesn't know any better, but this means the Crown Prince doesn't hold the Emperor's authority in high regard either.'
'And to think, when Mo Lingwei went to request the decree this morning, the Emperor was so pleased, as if he was finally able to help his son.'
'He even wanted to arrange for his Chief Eunuch and two contingents of the imperial guard to announce the decree, giving Shen Ningning the utmost prestige.'
'But unexpectedly, the Crown Prince refused outright and said he would deliver it himself.'
Wu Fang strongly suspected that the only reason the Crown Prince wanted to deliver it personally was so Shen Ningning wouldn't have to kneel.
He was being far too considerate of her.
