Sun Zhuhe continued, "The two greatest contributors to the Emperor's smooth ascension to the throne are General Nian and Lord Longkodo."
"Consort Hua is General Nian's sister, and the Emperor has avoided her favor for many years. Who would suspect that the Emperor was wary of the two siblings so early on?"
