Chapter 1499: Who’s More Compatible

Editor: Henyee Translations

Given their association with Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, even if Meng Wanfu claimed neutrality, it was doubtful anyone would believe him.

In light of this reality, there seemed little else to discuss.

Meng Wanfu and Shao Yunduan engaged in a discussion in the study, contemplating the path they would tread in the future.

Shao Yunduan was well aware that the princes were patiently waiting for the Crown Prince to err. A single misstep on his part would provide them with an opportunity to create a significant controversy.

The Crown Prince, as the heir, had to maintain an impeccable image, untarnished by even the smallest flaw. Any blemish, no matter how minuscule, could spread like ink in water, tarnishing his reputation.

...

Yet, akin to how a vigilant thief could only avoid detection for so long, there was always a vulnerability. The Crown Prince, after all, was a mortal, not an immortal sage. Responsible for governing the country, countless eyes scrutinized his every move, and the possibility of error lingered.

Shao Yunduan advised, “There’s no need to publicly announce our relationship. Carry on as usual, both now and in the future.”

“The entire wedding entourage is aware of our connection. Once we return to the capital, news may spread swiftly, causing potential trouble. Exercise caution in your daily actions.”

“In the shadows, cultivate a few trustworthy aides for gathering information about the northern region. However, utmost secrecy is paramount. Cease immediately if you sense any threat.”

Meng Wanfu smiled, expressing agreement. “I’ll heed your advice. This approach suits me well. Whenever you require assistance, send word, and I’ll be at your service.”

Shao Yunduan reciprocated the smile. “Thank you.”

Acknowledging Ding Xiang’s substantial contribution to Meng Wanfu’s success, Shao Yunduan, in his brief stay, had gained a comprehensive understanding of the unfolding events.

Numerous detailed reminders were provided. In the conclusion, Shao Yunduan compiled a list of books and requested Meng Wanfu to dispatch someone to procure them. Ordinarily pressed for time, he rarely found a moment for leisurely reading.

Even his wife recognized the value of perusing books in idle moments.

Meng Wanfu felt a burgeoning headache. Forcing a smile, he reluctantly accepted the extensive reading list.

Their discussion persisted until the moon hung high in the sky before they rose to bid their farewells.

Unexpectedly, as Qiao Xuan and Ding Xiang approached to ask their subordinates to withdraw, smiles adorned their faces. What an intriguing coincidence!

Upon returning to their quarters, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged smiles. “Husband, if we set aside our roles as mere spectators, which among the four intermediate princes do you believe is most qualified to ascend the throne?”

Such words bordered on treason, acceptable only within the confines of private conversations.

Shao Yunduan contemplated the question earnestly, gradually becoming more perplexed. He sighed, “I’ve never contemplated this matter. Yet, as I reflect on it, I find there’s no straightforward answer…”

In truth, there was no answer that could satisfy him.

The Crown Prince was too compassionate. If pressured by the other princes, he would resist. However, when they displayed vulnerability and admitted defeat, he readily softened and pardoned them.

As the potential future emperor, he surmised that the nefarious and hypocritical individuals might wholeheartedly welcome such a ruler.

The Fourth Prince exhibited a sinister and narrow-minded demeanor.

The Second Prince had predominantly resided in the military camp throughout the year, earning considerable renown among the generals. It was rumored that he paid little attention to trivial matters and frequently fostered camaraderie with the soldiers…
