However, Chu Heng's words brought a sense of ease. He said, "Both of you are the backbone of the court, but the women's martial arts trial was decided long ago. If it were canceled now, it would undoubtedly cause Father and me to lose the trust of the people."
We must not let down the women of the world.
So, please return to your respective mansions for now."
Chu Heng, with great politeness, escorted them out.
Zhuo Junli left with a smile, while Lu Mian wore a cold expression as they exited together.
Chu Heng finally let out a breath of relief.
He turned to Lin Sisi and called sweetly, "Sister-in-law."
Lin Sisi stepped forward and embraced Chu Heng, asking, "Crown Prince, how have you been lately?"
She missed Chu Heng very much!
With the emperor and empress bedridden due to illness, the vast royal court had become a heavy burden resting entirely on him—a mere child. Such a heavy task!
