"In your opinion, can this Ninth Prince be trusted?"
Ruyan looked at Xi Xiaomeng, asking word by word.
After all, with the previous betrayal of the Fifth Prince Luo Zhengping, they had to act with caution.
Furthermore, Emperor Zhao of Siyou Country seemed good at first. But once he sat on the throne, everything changed. No matter how she thought about it, Ruyan's heart felt cold and hollow.
People always change; no one can claim they'll remain the same over the decades as they are today.
Xi Xiaomeng frowned, knowing full well that Ruyan was worried that the Ninth Prince would turn against them once he ascended to the throne—an absolutely unpleasant predicament.
"Should I have someone keep an eye on him?"
"How long can you watch someone if they decide to change?"
Ruyan dismissed his proposal.
The real issue now is whether she should step away from this struggle for the throne.
