"Aren't you going to help your brother become emperor?"
"Aren't you hesitant too?"
Liu Zhang lowered his eyes and expressed his thoughts, "Big Brother is actually more suitable for governing the country."
"A country cannot be governed by any one individual on his own. Do you know who was the only one who failed to steal the treasure in 'The Treasure Thief'?"
"Um?"

Liu Zhang nodded in understanding. "After a conversation with the princess, I suddenly understand. So, it's a pleasure to work with you."
"It's a pleasure to work with you, brother-in-law."
