The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Back when the princes were competing, the first prince and third prince had both tried to pull Marquis Moyu to their respective faction and even meddled in his harem. At that time, the second prince was powerless, and could only rely on a few loyal officials to do his bidding. However, in the end, Marquis Moyu had chosen Zhao Li instead of the first prince and third prince.

Zhao Li had been able to succeed in the past by keeping a low profile and bidding his time. He secretly accumulated power until he was able to seize control in one successful swoop.

However, Fan Tianxing had to admit to himself that Zhao Li’s temperament had greatly changed once he had successfully seized the throne. He had once been a reserved and low profile person, but after becoming the emperor, he had become egotistical. He wouldn’t listen to other people’s advice or admonishments. Even someone like him, who had wholeheartedly followed Zhao Li, felt bitterly disillusioned.

Although it was disloyal of the first prince to revolt, it was truly Zhao Li’s actions that paved the way for his army to easily come all the way to capital without difficulties.

Fan Tianxing sighed and said, ”Your Majesty, although it’s true that you spent a lot of effort on Marquis Moyu, and he’s seems very loyal, this subject still feels worried.”

Zhao Li lightly sneered. ”What’s there to worry about? The civil and military officials have all fled. It’s only him that persists in defending the capital for this emperor. Can you really not discern his stance?”

Fan Tianxing hesitated. He wanted to say more, but in the end, he just let out a long sigh.

Ning Yuxuan entered the palace. There was no restriction to where he could go, and he headed straight for the empress’s palace.

Pengyue had already deteriorated to half consciousness, but Haohao remained under the care of her palace servants. It was just that his little face was crumpled and looked very sad.

”Dad!” Haohao rushed over as soon as he saw him. With tears falling down to the floor, he said, ”Dad is a liar. You clearly said that you would come pick up Haohao up very soon, but Haohao hasn’t seen you in forever.”

His tender little face looked so pitiful with tears. Ning Yuxuan hurriedly picked him up. ”Dad said that the next time I come, I would be picking you up. I wasn’t lying. It’s only that dad has been delayed, so I came here a bit late.”
