Translator: 549690339

“Several years ago, I married her as my wife, but at that time we did not know each other’s identities.”

In the hall of Yan Hall, Zhao Huai’s voice was not loud, but it struck the hearts of everyone like a thunderous deafening sound.

Faced with Zhao Huai’s disclosure, the officials of Yan Country and many subordinates learned of this heavy news.

One by one, they were so shocked that they couldn’t close their mouths, even the elegant Song Zhishu, who was also quite surprised.

The Xia’s Empress was actually the wife of the Royal Crown Prince!

It seems that the rumors circulating outside are true!

“Your Highness…” 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺

After the surprise, there was a long silence.

If this is true, what kind of thoughts did the Crown Prince have towards Xia Country?

To endure it or to hate it?

Zhao Huai swept around, looking at the expressions on everyone’s faces, and his complexion revealed a touch of helplessness.

He took a breath, and then said seriously: “The reason why I personally admit to this matter is to prevent causing too much controversy within our ranks, otherwise it would be in line with the intentions of those behind the scenes.”

The crowd was still thinking and did not respond.

They were immersed in the heavy news and couldn’t react.

This was actually a very normal thing.

Even when Zhao Huai learned of this matter at the beginning, he was also hesitant.

Not to mention them.

Problems always exist, they can be hidden and evaded, but one day they will erupt.

Now in Yan Country, his prestige is deservedly unparalleled, and no second person can replace him; whatever he says, they will follow it.

So he was confident in overcoming this crisis.

But if he left the controversy unattended, the rumors would continue to be magnified, undoubtedly intensifying internal contradictions. Yan Country’s unity would further decline, perhaps that’s the real purpose of the person behind the scenes.

No matter whether he paid attention to it or not, the opponent’s goal had been achieved.

“Regardless of the truth, I stand by the Royal Crown Prince.”

Song Zhishu took the lead in expressing his stance.

He was very serious in his eyes, explaining:

“The Empress of Xia Country is a wise ruler. It’s not necessarily a bad thing for the Royal Crown Prince to take her as his wife. I believe the Crown Prince can give a perfect answer.”

Accompanied by his words, many people also had some strange thoughts.

“Yes, what Minister Song said is right. The Royal Crown Prince is both handsome and charming. Even the Empress of Xia Country cannot resist his charm. If we want to restore our country, isn’t it more convenient? What do you all think?”

“Could it be that this is all planned by the Crown Prince?”

“It’s very possible. If we win over the Empress of Xia Country, won’t Xia Country belong to the Crown Prince?”

“What a gain!”

The discussion became more and more heated, and many people felt that it was indeed a good deal upon thinking about it.

Seeing the atmosphere at the scene gradually becoming active.

Zhao Huai also breathed a sigh of relief.

In contrast, the reactions of Zhou Ping, Dongfang Xuan, and Granny Su Li were quite flat.

But thinking about it, their lack of reaction was normal. When Yan Country perished, they did not harbor as much hatred towards Xia Country.

Did they not have any extra resentment towards Xia Country?

Zhao Huai looked at the officials of Yan Country and couldn’t help but feel a bit suspicious.

Their quick forgiveness was beyond his expectations.

Song Zhishu saw this and guessed Zhao Huai’s thoughts, so he transmitted and said: “Your Highness, don’t be surprised, this is normal. Most people don’t harbor as much hatred towards Xia Country as you might imagine. In fact, they hold more gratitude towards the Royal Crown Prince, as well as longing for the future.”

“As long as the Royal Crown Prince is here, there is always hope.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai finally understood and his heart suddenly became clear.

He had always viewed his identity as the Crown Prince as a burden, even a liability.

This was his initial thought when he first came to this world.

He did not want to take revenge for his father, because it was too dangerous and he did not put himself into the identity of the Crown Prince.

Because it was Yan Country’s enmity, not his, Zhao Huai’s.

Now, through various coincidences, he finally ascended to this position. At first, it was just for the sake of interests. It was because of the benefits that came with the identity of the Crown Prince.

As time went on, he gradually integrated into the identity of the Crown Prince.

Now he feels the same, many things were taken for granted by his former self.

Reality is not as troublesome as he had imagined.

He was just making things difficult for himself.

At this time, a young official stepped forward and said: “Your Highness, we are loyal to Yan Country and vow never to regret it!”

“Me too!”

“I’m the same.”

Slowly, more and more officials expressed their feelings, and it was clear that they did not mind Zhao Huai marrying the Empress of Xia Country.

In fact, most people were just trying to make a living and gain power and status. No one would cross paths with their future.

Zhao Huai knew this very well in his heart.

As long as Yan Country exists, it is the truth.

Seeing the situation stabilized, Song Zhishu spoke:

“The urgent task is to figure out who is stirring up trouble.”

“I speculate that not only Yan Country, but the Empress of Xia Country must also be trapped in the swamp of public opinion, and the impact may be even greater than that of the Crown Prince. What does Your Highness plan to do?”

What to do?

This question stumped Zhao Huai.

The enemy was hidden, and he was exposed.

It was already so troublesome for him, but for Xia Country to completely quell this turmoil, it would be even more difficult.

His wife mentioned in her letter.

Changning King might collude with the Devil Sect and rebel in Xia Country.

On one hand, the soaring price of salt was causing public unrest. With the Empress’s strength, it would be more than enough to deal with the evil cultivators, but facing the rioting common people might meet strong resistance.
