"Wife, aren't you curious to know who the new Emperor is?" After waiting for so long without his wife asking about the matter, he couldn't help but raise the question.
Feng Xuxu slightly furrowed her brows, "Prince An has died, leaving only you, Prince Xuan, and Prince Huai. Let me guess, the new Emperor wouldn't be you, would it?"
"Wife is truly clever." Dugu Chen chuckled softly, his eyes brimming with a smile as he gazed at his wife.
Feng Xuxu glanced at him witheringly, her face awkward, "Hmph, Prince Xuan has always eschewed court affairs, living contentedly within his fief. Ever since Dugu Han became Emperor, Prince Huai has also lost interest and returned to his fief. Even when Prince An sent him secret missives, there were no rumors of him mustering troops. So by that account, he knew he could not become Emperor, leaving you as the last possible candidate."
"In that case, it seems I've stumbled upon quite the advantage."
