Chu Jia knelt in front of Feng Ruohen and was stunned when he heard his words. He raised his head and glanced at the person, with hesitation hidden in his voice.
"Subordinate... I heard it."
Why did he come tonight? His purpose was obvious, but Feng Ruohen didn't ask him, so he felt uneasy.
The man sitting upright had a slight smile on his lips, "Then what do you think?"
"What do you think?" Chu Jia is a powerful military general. When he arrived, he heard Helan Qin'er asking the prince to "abandon the world". Which man would let the entire country be ignored for the sake of a woman?
Being asked so bluntly by Feng Ruohen confused others, and they even forgot to apologize first when their whereabouts were discovered.
The master of the house saw his most capable general coming at night to slander him. Not only was he not annoyed, his smile became even more obvious, "Don't you understand what I mean?"
The tone could not be said to be harsh, but more like the tone of asking ministers for their opinions in court.
Sweating with cold sweat, Chu Jia gritted his teeth and thought about it. For Helan Qin'er, the prince had waited for so many years and remained calm and patient. Others might not know it, but when asked about Feng Ruohen, Chu Jia really couldn't answer.
Maybe Qin'er is really more important in his heart than the world?
Besides, if he wanted this country, he would have been the emperor of Feng Kingdom long ago. Why would he be the regent?
But thinking about it again, these seemed to be not the point. Did the prince guess that he was coming to the palace today?
Otherwise, why wouldn't he be surprised or angry when he saw me, let alone ask any questions about his guilt? Instead, he would just... talk about his worries here?
After a moment of silence, Chu Jia answered truthfully, "Your Majesty thinks that Miss Helan is worthy of Your Majesty giving up the world, then it is worth it!" He has always been straightforward and will not care about the gains and losses of various details like those civil servants. As long as it is worth it, he is willing to do so.
Just go ahead and do it.
After saying that, he looked at Feng Ruohen, who was dressed in elegant clothes. He had already stood up and looked at Chu Jia condescendingly, his eyes seemed to see everything through the night.
"Just like you came here for Sikong Yun tonight, right?"
As long as you think it's worth it, do it.
Chu Jia is not a king, but he is an upright man. How can he be shielded by a weak woman? Besides, she has her own flesh and blood.
When Feng Ruohen calmly pointed out the purpose of this trip, Chu Jia's whole body went numb involuntarily. It turned out that he had known it for a long time...
