Yu Mingyue evidently didn't expect him to say that, and was momentarily stunned, while Yu Wenqian's expression slightly darkened but he still nodded.
"Yes."
Shang Ruyi laughed and said, "If the Crown Prince can go, then I'll be a bit more relieved. Lord Pei and Lord Ji still have sons to look after them, but my cousin went on a campaign with the army some days ago, leaving my uncle without anyone by his side."
Though her words referred to Uncle Shen Shiyan, the deeper meaning actually pointed to Yu Wenquan.
After all, Yu Wenquan hadn't been to the newly renovated Hot Spring Palace, and now had to take a group of old officials with him. Others had family beside them; even Ji Hong had a little son. But Yu Wenquan had no one, wasn't he at a disadvantage in front of his ministers as a father?
At this moment, Yu Mingyue's brow was tightly knitted.
