"Considering your previous favor from the late emperor and the nature of the Empress and Your Majesty, they won't make things difficult for you!"
"When he acted recklessly this time, you weren't aware beforehand, right?"
An Ning shook her head and truthfully replied, "He once asked me to find a way to marry Shen Cong, the Chief of Staff. I ignored him!"
Su Luo chuckled softly, "That was also a way to protect you! It was indeed a terrific idea!"
Shen Cong is Su Luo's man and is highly regarded by Wei Shu.
Despite his youth, he became a Chief of Staff, specifically the Minister of Revenue, overseeing the nation's money and grain. Such a person can't be moved by Your Majesty without careful consideration.
If Wei Jiuzhong ultimately succeeds, having this familial tie means Shen Cong can be of use to him, significantly aiding his swift takeover of the Dayue Dynasty.
