In the Imperial Palace, on the way to the Holy Bright Palace.
Yu Da Dao of the Maoshan sect from the Thunder Pool Daoist Academy looked at Lu Mingyuan and smiled. "Crown Prince, you're about to establish your own residence and leave the Cold Palace. How are you feeling?"
"Not bad, I suppose. My father, the Emperor, must have taken a liking to my handsome and dashing looks. He must have long believed in my noble character, and that I truly had nothing to do with the Demoness affair. Perhaps even back then, my father intended to make me Crown Prince. The Cold Palace was merely his test for me."
Lu Mingyuan put on a confident expression, as if he had expected this all along.
'This Yu Da Dao seems to be my escort, but he's actually a spy for my father.'
'I have to keep up appearances.'
'The information from the divination told me as much.'
'My pronouncements for the nation, which solidified my aura as the Crown Prince, have already drawn my father's attention and suspicion.'
