Chapter 325

Yuan Yunzhong looked a bit like a mischievous child caught by his parents in the act.

Song Jiyun couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, leaning in to ask him, "Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be dealt with strictly. Spill it now."

"It's not much," Yuan Yunzhong said, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes, "I've been frequently visiting the Emperor to discuss Prince Ning, suggesting that it was time for him to return. He managed to gain an audience with the Empress Dowager and constantly visited her to show filial piety. If we didn't send him back, he'd shamelessly stay in the Capital City, insisting on discussing brotherly love with the Emperor. So I said to the Emperor, since he's so keen on staying in the Capital City, let him stay. After all, Prince Ning has many brothers; the Prince of Ruichang can manage his fiefdom in his stead."

Song Jiyun was taken aback.
