Besides, was their Emperor truly just lucky to have stumbled into his position?
Not necessarily.
'The book wasn't entirely clear on this, but an Emperor who could ascend the throne and wrestle for power with the courtiers couldn't possibly be a harmless little rabbit. He was more likely a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing.'
"Yun Zhao…"
Song Yexi's voice pulled Song Yunzhao from her thoughts. She turned her head to look at her, hearing her say in a hushed tone, "I heard from Miss Ye that the Emperor will also be at the viewing today."
Song Yunzhao feigned a look of surprise. "Is that so?"
'The book mentioned the Emperor would be at the viewing, so of course I knew. I just can't let Song Yexi become suspicious. If she asked where I heard it from, I wouldn't be able to answer.'
"Yes, and I'm a little nervous." Song Yexi hadn't been this nervous before, but the thought of possibly seeing the Emperor was making her feel all jittery.
