Ji Mingzhu had just thought of the question, and the Emperor sitting at the head of the table resolved her doubt.
"Ah Zhen, you can be at ease outside; I will take care of your family in the Duke Mansion."
He still used the old term of address, as if their brotherly bond was still profound.
Mutual trust, support for one another, without any rifts.
But the deeper meaning in the words was enough to prove everything.
Time cannot go back, and neither can their brotherly affection.
Now one is an emperor, and the other a powerful minister; their stances have long changed.
The Emperor needs Xie Yunzhen to guard the border, yet he guards against Xie Yunzhen walking the path of a traitor.
This is an indisputable fact.
Ji Mingzhu can follow Xie Yunzhen, but others can only stay in the capital.
Princess An He's eyes went completely dim.
Even if she was willing to lower her head and beg Ji Mingzhu to agree to let her go to the border too, the Emperor wouldn't release her.
