Yun Yang was somewhat startled when he heard what the crown prince had said. He had finally found out the truth – the emperor once had experienced a slip of the tongue! A secret had been revealed to someone who should have absolutely no knowledge of it – the crown prince, the person whose advantages and disadvantages were directly at stake!
"There wasn't anyone else around then; those nearest to us were dozens of feet away. Father mumbled the statement… no one had heard it other than me, but I was stunned then – like when I had accidentally seen my eldest brother."
"No, I was lost and had been caught. Hearing my father's question, I lost my cool and felt like the sky had fallen on me."
Yun Yang sighed. "You don't have to say anything more."
He finally understood; he understood everything now.
The emperor… He had carried that intention all along. It was no wonder!
