1999
Fu Hanwen knew in his heart that if it were the emperor he was familiar with, their future dealings with Cangming Country would not be an issue. However, people's hearts are fickle, especially those of a sovereign, influenced by too many factors. Who can say what the future holds?
Moreover, even if the emperor remains unwavering in his goodwill, he will age one day. It is uncertain whether the future emperor will trust him as the current one does.
The reason he did not stop his son from staying in Cangming Country to inherit the throne was to keep a backup plan for the Fu Family.
But he couldn't let his mother know this, couldn't let her worry.
Lady Guan gradually accepted this truth under Fu Hanwen's guidance: "You can tell Zhiwen about this, but don't let Jingwen know."
Jingwen is already married, part of the Mo Family. This matter could be good or bad; telling her will only make her worry unnecessarily.
"Mother, I understand."
