The Imperial Guard General's suspicion was quite justified, Ling Tianyu thought the same. These Royal Princes could watch their own realm being usurped by outsiders and remain indifferent; now colluding with Consort Fei's native family was not impossible.
Everything is possible.
Ling Tianyu actually had suspicions from the start, he just hadn't voiced them.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know soon enough," said Ling Tianyu.
The Imperial Guard General took a sip of wine, nodded, feeling somewhat unsettled. If this was true, it would be a disaster. The Royal Princes colluding with outside forces, this would be unbelievable even if told, and considered terrifying by many.
It would not be an exaggeration to call it betrayal.
"If it is as you say, my lord, this is no small matter," said the Imperial Guard General with a very grave expression, "Hopefully, it is not true."
