After a long time, Wu Hanxue finally confessed to Luo Shunchen, "Yes, I support the Ninth Prince. That's because his mother, Consort Xiao Shu, is my aunt. Consort Xiao Shu made a mistake back then, offending both Consort De and Consort Xian in the harem. Consequently, Marquis Wande outside the palace also viciously targeted my Wu family. I had no way out, and from a young age I could only practice martial arts, hoping to find some official position after joining the military."
Luo Shunchen remained silent, quietly waiting for him to continue.
Thus, Wu Hanxue continued discussing his upbringing, also mentioning how he secretly met the Ninth Prince back when he was at the Ancient Beast Palace.
With this, it wasn't surprising that Wu Hanxue would betray him later on.
Moreover, Ninth Prince Luo Hongze's arrival was initiated by Xi Xiaomeng herself.
It wasn't Wu Hanxue who suggested it, so the complex grievances and relationships within are indeed causing a headache.
