Chapter 771 - 768: Retaliation in the Future_1
The Crown Prince clenched his fist tightly, nodded his head, and willingly admitted his mistake with utmost respect, "Prime Minister Lu is right! Thus, I am... trying to make amends."
Quan Yu looked at the Crown Prince. He had followed the Crown Prince for many years and had never seen him take responsibility for anyone other than the Emperor and Elder Fang.
He hadn’t expected that this time, for the Princess of Zhen, the Crown Prince would take on such a significant responsibility.
Quan Yu understood that the Crown Prince had remembered Bai Qingyan’s loyalty and righteousness, which was why he was defending her so strongly. Quan Yu let out a long breath of relief, grateful that he hadn’t said anything wrong in front of the Crown Prince, avoiding damaging the Crown Prince’s trust in the Princess of Zhen.
Seeing the Crown Prince repent so earnestly, Prime Minister Lu did not press further. He spoke, "Given the current situation, we cannot worry about whether the court officials are dissatisfied. Everyone in the court knows that the Princess of Zhen fell ill after shielding the Crown Prince from arrows. The Princess joined the army despite her illness, is it not appropriate to dispatch soldiers with her? Can the strong-bodied Li Mingrui compare to the Princess of Zhen? The Crown Prince should not worry about the critics among the officials; he should prioritize the national interest. If anyone dares to criticize, I will be the first to object! Let them come and argue with me first!"
Prime Minister Lu respected the Bai family, but also felt pity for them.
Regardless of gender, the Bai family had a character of firm resolve.
"Prime Minister Lu’s words are very true. Let us report it to the Emperor during the morning court session," said the Crown Prince.
