The Truth

Was it because his impression of Xie Xian, who was as gentle as jade, intelligent, and talented, was originally a misunderstanding, or had Xie Xian already changed?

Yang Shao's face darkened as he recalled the words his advisor had said to him.

He shouldn't have gotten close to Xie Xian. As the Emperor's most assured choice, he should have kept his distance from Xie Xian, even to the point of being incompatible with him.

He knew everything, and he also knew what to do to make the Emperor feel at ease.

However, he really didn't want to be separated from Xie Xian.

It wasn't that he didn't want to offend her, but he was unwilling.

Although this empress who 'snatched' his previous life was his love rival. However, with Xie Xian, they had fought side by side and defended Jiankang City. He had always admired Xie Xian's strategy and decisiveness.

Especially when he thought about how he got his so-called 'dragon slave', he lost his confidence.
