Secret Meeting (VI)
Like Xiaowei, Gu Lan was also shocked when he heard Yang Ning say that she wants to cancel the marriage alliance between the two families.
'Huh? Is this some new trick of hers?' He wondered.
Because she is soon going to become the Crown Princess and after Zheng Liang will succeed the current Emperor and become the Emperor of the Zheng Empire in the future, her position will be upgraded from the Crown Princess to the Empress of the Nation as well.
Does she want to give up the power and position that she will get by marrying into the royal family which every woman in the empire wants to have?
She is not even a part of any royal family or a princess of any small kingdom, but only a daughter of an aristocrat, who serves as the Minister in the royal court.
Shouldn't she be hungry and greedy for the ultimate power that she will get by marrying the Crown Prince, just like how her father wants to have that power?
