Gu Jiangli's words were utterly treasonous, and the historian recording them was trembling with fear.
However, her worries were not unfounded, as the struggle for power has always been the most feared thing by the royal family.
There have been far too many similar incidents throughout history.
But Lin'er tilted her head back and said innocently:
"If my younger brother wants the throne, then I will give it to him."
Gu Jiangli: "? Huh? Why?"
Lin'er's eyes shone brightly as she answered earnestly, "If my younger brother is dissatisfied with my governance, it must be because he has a more perfect way of governing. In that case, I will give him the throne and let him be the emperor."
"What does it matter who the emperor is, as long as it benefits the people?"
Gu Jiangli took a deep breath, blinked, and was utterly shocked.
She then asked, "Then...what if it's not your brother who's trying to take your throne, but...someone else? Someone you don't even know? What then?"
Lin'er pouted and thought for a while before answering:
"Then we'll have to test him, just like the Imperial Academy teachers test my studies every month."
“If his abilities are indeed superior to mine, then it proves that he is indeed more suitable to sit on the throne than I am. At that time, it would be reasonable to give the throne to him.”
"After all, a qualified emperor is one who benefits all the people under heaven."
Gu Jiangli stood there for a long time.

Gu Jiangli felt somewhat inferior to him.
When she was four years old, she was still playing in the mud, but when Lin'er was four years old, she was already able to handle important matters of the world.
She raised her hand and said to the historian standing to the side recording:
"I have recorded every word of my conversation with the Crown Prince. Do you understand?"
The historian nodded vigorously, "Yes, I understand."
Gu Jiangli sighed and looked up at the sky.
This is a profound saying from the childhood of a future emperor who will be a legend for all time.
It is essential to carefully record and bind these documents into a book so that future generations can admire them and pass them down as exemplary models.
Such enlightenment and such a broad perspective are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Not long after this conversation, Gu Jiangli became pregnant.
This time, however, they were twins.
