Wang Rou β The White Peony β
SPEECH: #3369A0
The announcement of bad news was not surprising. Second King was not shy in hiding his dislike for Lu Cai and Wang Rou. He favored his own son, which was only natural. But Lu ZhenXi had made it obvious that he did not want to take his older brother's place as heir to the throne.
"If it relates to Lu Cai's ascension to the throne, then I can only guess it's a plot against him of some sort," Wang Rou said with a soft sigh of annoyance.
How many of these plots had he snuffed out now? He had lost count. Some were small, others were more complicated. Lu Cai only knew of a few of them. Wang Rou usually preferred to take care of them quietly and in total secrecy. Anyone involved was paid off to keep silent. Wang Rou took his role as Lu Cai's protector very seriously, and didn't want to cause the crown prince any unnecessary worry.
