Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Agreeing to Marry
The words of the Crown Prince were not particularly moving, yet they revealed his true feelings.
Lai Taihong and Lai Ran, both experienced in such matters, remained silent. In their eyes, either the Crown Prince was a great actor, or he had indeed taken a real liking to Yan’er.
Lai Yuyue suddenly spoke, “Even so, we are here. Your Highness need not worry about Yan’er’s well-being!”
Ye Yiheng disregarded the underlying implication in his words and asked, “Does that mean the Princely Heir agrees to let me be with your sister?”
Lai Yuyue’s lips thinned into a line. With his grandfather and father showing such attitudes, how could he dissent?
Lai Taihong spoke up, “Your Highness, this old subject wishes to hear the truth. Besides taking a fancy to Yan’er, do you wish to take the military power of our Northern Garrison?”
This direct question left Lai Ran and Lai Yuyue shocked.
How could the Crown Prince possibly tell the truth, even though they all suspected it?
Surprisingly, Ye Yiheng nodded in agreement, “The previous Princes Zhenbei were all men of integrity, prioritizing the welfare of the people and the state. It is indeed disgraceful for Father Emperor to covet the military power of the Northern Garrison.”
Since the founding of Tiansheng, there was an unwritten rule that the military authority of the Northern Garrison belonged to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, which in turn was obliged to protect the strategic military region of Northern Tiansheng.
