NAIVE

*Chaoxing's POV

A lot of things had happened. And of course I was aware of everything. My adorable cute wife. She was really so clueless. The emperor had sneaked into the manor, and I had a wild range of guesses on why he would do that.

The court had become unstable due to the state of Chu. I had never hidden my desire for the throne. Honghui didn't deserve to stand as king. Under his reign as king the people had suffered many major setbacks. The nation had become weak. I had to say there was a time I once believed in him. The former emperor was only person to be blamed for this. He neglected his people seeking love.

In the end, many people had suffered for it. I thought Honghui wouldn't be like his father but he proved me wrong. Once again he neglected his people. Now I was married to Li juan. The famous phoenix of the state of Han. But unlike Honghui, I wouldn't put a woman before my duties to the people.
