"Some days ago, I was unwell and hadn't yet had the chance to entertain Prince Lili..."
"My feelings for Lili are mutual, and she is eager to return home to see my father."
Before the Emperor could finish, Chu Minghao interrupted him.
Chu Minghao leaned slightly towards the Emperor and said with a smile, "I hope the Emperor will forgive me."
He and Chu Qianli, had mutual feelings for each other?
Although it was clear that this was Chu Minghao's excuse to prevent the Emperor from keeping Chu Qianli behind, once spoken, one must take responsibility for such words.
At the very least, the moment today's remarks from Chu Minghao were uttered, countless rumors would immediately begin to spread everywhere.
One mustn't speak carelessly.
It seemed that the Princely Heir was determined to take Chu Qianli back to Nanming with him.
Since they had spoken of this matter first, the Emperor naturally wouldn't obstruct them.
