Chapter 468 - 465: Killing Two Birds with One Stone_1
Fang Lao, upon hearing this, stood up with a smile and said, "Your Highness, if you consider what I said and find it feasible, just send someone to inform me... I will arrange and prepare accordingly! However, the Princess of Zhen and Commandery Princess Gaoyi are returning to Shuoyang tomorrow. If Your Highness finds it feasible, a decision must be made quickly."
"Alright!" The Crown Prince nodded.
After Fang Lao left, the Crown Prince turned his head and looked at Quan Yu. With a hint of a smile, he picked up his tea cup and said, "Quan Yu, you are becoming bolder and bolder!"
"Your Highness, whatever courage I have comes from you! The Crown Prince is the most kind-hearted master I have ever seen. That’s why I dare to be presumptuous in front of Your Highness!" Quan Yu smiled warmly and said, "I just thought Your Highness has been busy all day and didn’t even have time to rest and take a sip of tea. You must be really tired, hence this idea."
Seeing the Crown Prince gently blowing on the hot tea, seemingly calming down, Quan Yu cautiously said, "Your Highness, I just heard from Fang Lao that he intends to use Commandery Princess Gaoyi. But... the Princess of Zhen and Commandery Princess Gaoyi are deeply connected. The Princess of Zhen is also unfailingly loyal to Your Highness! I noticed just now that Your Highness hesitated. Is it because you are afraid of alienating the Princess of Zhen?"
The Crown Prince nodded, "That’s correct. But Fang Lao’s words... also make sense. I still need to think it over."
Hearing this, Quan Yu did not dare to persuade further. He just nodded and said he would bring some refreshments for the Crown Prince.
When Quan Yu returned with palace maids carrying black lacquer and gold-painted food boxes, he saw someone leaving the Crown Prince’s study, seemingly heading towards Fang Lao’s courtyard.
