Gong Sangmo looked at Yun Qianyu, waiting for her decision.
“Is he an idiot?” Yu Jian asked, puzzled.
This was clearly handing over one’s weakness to the enemy. Once the secret passage was discovered, it would be forcibly opened from this side, and the entire secret passage would be ruined. Didn’t the person who designed the secret passage understand this?
Yun Qianyu’s eyes lit up. She was reminded by Yu Jian’s words. The other party’s purpose in doing this was that the entrance to the secret passage was connected to a place that they didn’t want anyone to know about. That’s why they designed it this way. Once it was discovered, it would be destroyed. And this place must be a place that she and her grandfather would never think of.
Yun Qianyu ordered the guards to restore the entrance to the secret passage to its original state.
Gong Sangmo saw that Yun Qianyu understood and curled his lips.
“Go back! I’ll talk to Yu Jian for a while and then go back to the manor!” Gong Sangmo knew that Yun Qianyu still had questions to resolve.
Yun Qianyu looked at Gong Sangmo with suspicion. What did they have to talk about? But then she remembered that the person Yu Jian admired most was Gong Sangmo, so she understood.
She instructed Feng Ran to guard Yu Jian tonight, then turned and left Yu Jian’s palace. She didn’t return to her own palace but went to the imperial study.
After Yun Qianyu left, Gong Sangmo and Yu Jian stared at each other, wide-eyed.
“What’s wrong with Yu Jian today?” Gong Sangmo asked, amused by Yu Jian’s mature demeanor.
Yu Jian’s eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips without speaking.
“You don’t like Brother Sangmo being with your Sister Qianyu?” Gong Sangmo asked directly.
Yu Jian’s expression immediately became somewhat unnatural after his thoughts were exposed!
“But your Sister Qianyu will get married sooner or later?” Gong Sangmo knew he had guessed correctly from Yu Jian’s expression.
“Sister can wait for me to grow up and become my Empress!” Yu Jian finally spoke his mind.
Gong Sangmo suddenly remembered what Yu Jian had said at the Yunshan Palace that he wanted to marry Qianyu when he grew up, and he couldn’t help but feel speechless. Why was it so difficult for him to find a wife?
People like Hua Manxi are one thing, since they’re already adults, but why is this little brat Yu Jian getting involved? By the time he grows up, Qianyu will be an old maid.
Gong Sangmo looked at Yu Jian seriously. This matter needed to be handled well, otherwise it would be very awkward between the siblings when Qianyu finds out, and it will also affect their future relationship.
“Yu Jian, putting aside your age difference, just the fact that you are siblings means Qian Yu can never be the Empress of Nanlou Kingdom.”
“Why? We’re not blood siblings.”
“Even if you’re not blood siblings, Qian Yu is still the Emperor’s personally appointed Princess Protector of the Nation, listed in the Imperial Register. That’s an undeniable fact.”
“I can simply revoke her title.”
“Yu Jian, things aren’t as simple as you think. Your grandfather won’t be around for much longer. Qian Yu will be with you through the most difficult time of your life, helping to protect the kingdom for you when you have the power to control it. Have you considered what Qian Yu will have to sacrifice? How will you explain this to your people? What position have you placed your sister Qian Yu in? Are you sure your sister Qian Yu will accept your arrangement instead of leaving in disappointment?”
Yu Jian’s eyes darkened, and he remained silent.
“You’ve already witnessed the morning court sessions these past two days, and you know how difficult those people are to deal with. You also know that the Emperor reviews memorials until late at night every day without rest. Since you can’t handle these matters on your own, Qianyu has to do all of this. And this is only when the country is free from war and disaster. If such a situation were to occur, it would be even more exhausting. Qianyu is a woman. Don’t you want someone to take care of and help your sister who selflessly gives so much for you? Don’t you want a shoulder for her to lean on when she’s tired and distressed?”
