In the end—
Marquis Dongxiang left the Imperial Study with two paintings in his possession.
As for why he was helping Princess Duanhui move, he didn't tell the Emperor, leaving the Emperor to ponder it himself.
If it weren't for the face-saving aspect of the Iron Mine, he wouldn't have relented to let the Emperor make Su Jin a princess.
To say more would only make him want to punch the Emperor.
Watching Marquis Dongxiang walk away, the Emperor was still in the dark.
The only thing he could be sure of was that Marquis Dongxiang had long coveted Princess Duanhui's fief.
What is it about that fief that makes him covet it so?
The Emperor was lost in thought.
Eunuch Fu walked towards the wall where the paintings were hung.
The wall originally had three paintings, two of which were taken by Marquis Dongxiang, leaving only the middle one.
It's not out of kindness that he left one for the Emperor.
He simply looked down on that painting.
Just now...
Only just now...
