One reason for shifting from conquering all sides to implementing benevolent governance.

The reason cannot be the depletion of the people's strength and the chaos of the world, because these are the result of wars on all sides. If this is the reason, then the wars on all sides are negated.

Therefore, Emperor Tianqi randomly chose one of his two adult princes, the Crown Prince and Xie Xuan, as the reason.

Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment and said, "Go with Lin Ji. Remember, just observe. If he does anything wrong, remind him. Also, protect Cui Yuetuan and the child in her womb!"

Yun Chuwei nodded in agreement.

She suddenly understood why Emperor Tianqi wanted to find a crown princess who was destined to have a son.

He must have felt guilty towards the Crown Prince after all, right?

He still wanted to return the throne to the Crown Prince's lineage.

However, what happens next will likely disappoint Emperor Tianqi.

Yun Chuwei came out of the hall and saw Sun Jiasheng go to call Lin Ji.

Lin Ji came out of the hall and looked at Yun Chuwei with a complicated expression.

Yun Chuwei smiled slightly: "Does Lord Lin have something to say?"

"No!" Lin Ji said, then added, "Miss, please come back to the capital with me. I will inform you of everything that will happen afterward!"

Yun Chuwei nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Okay!"

She could have stayed away from this matter and simply observed from the sidelines at Qingquan Palace.

However, Xie Xuan suddenly appeared, forcing her to change her plans.

Yun Chuwei returned to her carriage and left Qingquan Palace with Lin Ji's entourage.

As soon as the group left Qingquan Palace, the palace gates were closed.

The guards inside and outside Qingquan Palace have been increased by several layers. What was originally an ordinary palace now resembles a fortress of war.

Yun Chuwei lifted the curtain and glanced at the palace, letting out a barely audible sigh.

Perhaps, for quite some time to come, no one will be able to see the emperor inside.
