Upon hearing that Prince Zhen Nan had indeed mentioned Ji Yunmeng, Emperor Zhou's expression darkened immediately.
The conversation had reached this point, and Emperor Zhou essentially understood Prince Zhen Nan's intentions.
He didn't respond immediately, but slowly stood up, strolled to the window, turned his back on Prince Zhen Nan, and gazed at the sky outside.
Clearly, Prince Zhen Nan's intention was for the Royal Family and Zhen Nan Prince Manor to form a marriage alliance by marrying Ji Yunmeng to Lu Chen, so that the entirety of Zhen Nan Prince Manor would stand by his side to help him overthrow the Empress Dowager.
As for the notion that Lu Chen had affections for Ji Yunmeng, it was nothing but nonsense.
Emperor Zhou was momentarily silent.
The wind blew in through the window lattice, carrying the chill of early autumn, fluttering the hem of his robe.
