Lu Yuhong's studies at Anzhou Academy run much deeper than they appear on the surface. He has another mission as well - to help Chu Lan find the Ninth Prince.
Based on various clues, the Ninth Prince, if alive, should be somewhere in Jiangnan.
"The re-examination of Lord Xu's case can't possibly be a coincidence. Someone must be stirring the pot behind the scenes, we're just not sure who it is." Chu Lan asserted.
Given the Emperor's lingering sentiments for the late Empress Xu, if the Ninth Prince is still alive and Lord Xu's case is reexamined, the political landscape will undoubtedly undergo a seismic shift.
"Well, I don't quite understand all of this. All I can do is help you find him and leave the rest up to you." Lu Yuhong waved dismissively, entirely unwilling to think about such complex matters.
"Mm," Chu Lan nodded, aware that Lu Yuhong was not really into such things.
It was because he didn't care that Chu Lan was willing to share with him.
