Chapter 567 - 546 Second Update
"This was the Crown Prince’s plan, the one the Emperor had once devised. If it weren’t for the appearance of Master Yin He, the current situation..." Ju Nanyi immediately spoke up, despite not knowing Zheng Congyuan’s plan. However, with Ju Nanyi’s intelligence, from what Prime Minister Lin knew, and from the actions of Qiandao Temple, he quickly figured it out.
Moreover, in Chenyuan Hall, Zheng Congyuan abandoned everything else resolutely, just to have Zheng Nianru, which confirmed his suspicions.
One could say that all of this was brought about by Zheng Congyuan’s own doing. He could have controlled the Wen Family quietly, but instead, he deliberately led them to start a rebellion. He even exploited the prophecy of Qiandao Temple and the talk of the Child of Heavenly Selection, to place the entire Nanzheng in jeopardy. Zheng Congyuan even risked himself, all to make Zheng Nianru’s ascent to that position seem just and natural.
Without such major upheaval, how could the ancient precedents be shaken, allowing people to accept such a result?
All was nearly achieved, if not for the emergence of Master Yin He and Ghoul Ravine.
So, what Ju Nanyi stated was the truth, yet not the whole truth.
Zheng Nianru lowered her gaze, knowing that coming from Ju Nanyi’s mouth, she believed it even more. Zheng Congyuan had always reassured her, and she knew he had a plan, one so complex she didn’t even want to think about it, simply waiting for the final outcome, with a selfish desire to save Zheng Haoyuan.
Now, Zheng Nianru could no longer distinguish whether it was her actions that had changed fate, but no matter what she did, there would be no possibility between her and Zheng Congyuan.
So, the Empress...
Should she be grateful to Ju Nanyi for still leaving her with thoughts to the very end? Or to Master Yin He for tacitly acknowledging her and Zheng Congyuan?
