Bai Zihan was already too preoccupied with his own thoughts to care about the Second Prince.
He didn't care about palace drama or any of the chaos unfolding around him.
However, he did realize that without his interference, the Second Prince might have indeed become the Emperor.
Still, Bai Zihan didn't think so—or rather, he believed that the Second Prince's reign would have been short-lived even if he was successful.
Why?
Because Chong Sheng, the Heaven-Chosen One, was in the Falling Star Empire.
Perhaps he might have taken advantage of the chaos from the Imperial conflict to seize the throne himself, or place someone of his choosing upon it.
In any case, the Second Prince was destined not to sit on the throne, even if Bai Zihan hadn't intervened.
Well, there was no use pondering what could have been.
There wasn't much that he had gained from coming to the Falling Star Empire—aside from meeting a Heaven-Chosen One.
