Gu Kaiyuan served a bowl of soup for Bai Suihe before speaking. "I'm not sure what Chen Dafu is thinking, but he does have an eccentric temper. Overall, though, he's a relatively upright person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been an official for so many years and still lived in poverty. He might have his own calculations regarding us, but as for having malicious intentions, it's unlikely."
"Do you think he was trying to warn us?" Bai Suihe was deep in thought. "The Third Prince's actions were so obvious this time. As the Emperor's man, it's impossible for Chen Dafu to cover up for him. He might have even reported it already."
Gu Kaiyuan nodded, not ruling out the possibility. "However, Mr. Chen thinks too highly of human nature. His loyal monarch may care about the world, but he also has his own selfish desires. Rong Ruiyuan is the son he favors and has elevated. Unless it's a rebellion, he will receive nothing more than a mild reprimand at most."
