Sitting beside the Emperor, Princess Ning An looked dim-spirited.
The Emperor patted the back of her hand and said, “Don’t take it to heart, the truth of the case will eventually come to light.”
With a low voice, Princess Ning An said, “Sometimes I wonder if I should not have returned. I was the one blinded, disregarding the advice not to marry to the distant border pass. In the end, the trust I placed was misplaced, bringing harm to hundreds of thousands of civilians at the border, suffering from warfare, and so many military officers lost their lives. When Your Majesty proposed to bestow upon me the title of Princess Protector of the Nation, I actually understood I was not worthy.”
The Emperor looked at her: “Ning An …”
Princess Ning An met his gaze: “Brother Emperor, hear me out.”
The Emperor nodded helplessly: “Alright, speak.”
Princess Ning An spoke with self-reproach: “For me, already bearing sins, to be accepted back into the royal family is already an enormous grace from Brother Emperor. Please don’t mention bestowing rewards upon me anymore.”
The Emperor spoke earnestly and sincerely: “It wasn’t your fault. Regardless of whether or not you were there, remnants of the former dynasty would have caused trouble in Zhan Country. You were just a pitiable person exploited by them. It wouldn’t have been you, it would have been someone else. Don’t blame yourself anymore. Your words, however, remind me—perhaps my excessive doting on you has made some people jealous and discontent, stirring up a great many problems?”
Princess Ning An remained silent.
The Emperor comforted her: “I have my own judgement on this matter and will certainly not let you suffer. Pretend you have heard nothing today, I will find out the truth.”
Princess Ning An’s eyes reddened slightly.
Seeing her like this, the Emperor couldn’t help but think of her childhood. Ning An was a lively child, not given to crying like the usual young girls. When she felt wronged, she would find a secluded place to sit in silence, struggling to hold back her tears.
It was always him who would find Ning An and cheer her up.
Thinking of the past, the Emperor felt even more distressed for Ning An.
One can only wonder how many times she, alone at the border, hid in a corner, privately heartbroken. Did anybody find her? Did anybody care for her?
The Emperor called for Eunuch Wei: “Go to the Ministry of Justice and instruct Minister Xing to keep hushed, and not to reveal any information about this case for the time being.”
