Chapter 796
Since Ning Che came to Huo Zhao's door specifically to discuss this matter, Huo Zhao naturally had to take it seriously.
Since Shen Rang was resting the next day, Huo Zhao simply took him along.
When Shen Rang heard the news, he was somewhat displeased: "Miss Ning is really something, why does she have to drag you into everything?"
He finally got a chance to rest and just wanted to be with Huo Zhao. He didn't expect Ning Che to find the time to come over when he was resting.
Huo Zhao held his hand: "There was nothing I could do. Che'er finally fell for him, and she even came to our door. I couldn't refuse. Besides, this matter concerns her entire life, and I didn't dare to go by myself."
Shen Rang sighed: "Since you've said so, I'll go."
It's enough for him to know that Huo Zhao needs him.
Shen Rang opened his arms and pulled the person into his embrace, saying in a deep voice, "Princess Ning has passed away."
Huo Zhao was slightly taken aback.
Princess Ning is Yun Wan's biological mother.
So much time has passed that Huo Zhao even finds the name Yun Wan somewhat unfamiliar.
Noticing a change in Huo Zhao's emotions, Shen Rang hugged him even tighter.
"How...did she die?"
"It is said that after the news of Yun Wan's death was sent over, Princess Ning fell ill and was bedridden. Prince Ning sought out many famous doctors for her, but none of them could save her."
After a pause, Shen Rang continued, "I heard that after Princess Ning passed away, Prince Ning's health also deteriorated."
It's not just that things are not as good as before.
Lately, everyone has been saying that Prince Ning's days are probably numbered.
The successive deaths of his daughter and wife are a devastating blow; who could bear it?
It's unclear what Shen Rang was thinking.
Huo Zhao sighed: "The Prince of Ning and the Princess of Ning truly have a deep affection for each other."
Shen Rang nodded slightly.
Regardless of their individual character, the friendship between them is truly undeniable.

The next morning, the couple got ready and went to the teahouse that Ning Che had booked earlier.
The teahouse is built by the lake, with beautiful scenery, and the waiters who come and go all walk with graceful steps, clearly well-trained.
"I had no idea there was such a place in Luoyang City."
If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd left Luoyang.
Hearing this, Shen Rang suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He rarely had any free time. Huo Zhao didn't have many friends in Luoyang City, so he hardly ever went out.
He was wrong.
"His Majesty is about to make a decision soon, so I'll have more free time in the future. Let's go out for walks more often."
"What decision?"
"The decision between the eldest prince and the third prince."
Huo Zhao was somewhat surprised: "So early?"
Shen Rang nodded slightly: "The Crown Prince was raised by His Majesty himself, but he has grown up like this. His Majesty does not want to gamble with people's hearts anymore, and he is also afraid of seeing his sons kill each other. Therefore, he has decided to make a decision."
Huo Zhao nodded: "His Majesty is getting old."
“That’s true, but not entirely,” Shen Rang said in a low voice. “Actually, it’s because of Father.”
Huo Zhao blinked.
Chen Zongwen?
"We'll talk about it when we get home."
Huo Zhao snapped out of his daze and realized that they had already arrived.
Before me stood a pavilion built on the water, with gauze curtains hanging around it. A gentle breeze stirred the curtains, creating the feeling of being in a fairyland.
There's a screen in the pavilion, so you don't have to worry about being blown by the wind.
