"I am the kind of person who doesn't even know what it means to like someone, all I know is that I need to fulfil this responsibility this and that," Fu Zhao stated with a smile on her lips. But even though she was smiling, Fu Qi Hong felt there was a sort of loneliness around his mother.
He who had lived in the imperial palace also knew that many people admired them. But no one loved them, at least not purely. Every single woman who approached him either wanted him for his beauty or for the fact that they could become the contender for the crown and the throne if they married him.
Not once did he see a woman treat him like a normal mer. Well at least until he met Mo Qiang, the last time when he slapped her, she did not use that slap to tell him all sorts of sleazy flirty lines. Instead, she stared at him like an offender and chased him down the corridor.
It was the first time for Fu Qi Hong to feel emotions that he had never felt before. He felt free and independent for that very moment, at least he did not have to worry about keeping an appearance as Mo Qiang did not seem like she was going to judge him for letting go of his elegance for a moment.
"If you want to chase her, then I will not stop you," Fu Zhao spoke causing Fu Qi Hong's eyes to light up. However before he could cheer, he heard Fu Zhao say, "My only demand is that if Mo Qiang marries you then she will have to become the Empress."
Compared to Fu Zhi who only knew how to make big losses for small benefits, Mo Qiang was the perfect woman to sit on the throne. She had her flaws but Fu Zhao knew that with time and effort, Mo Qiang would be even better than her when it came to ruling and protecting the country.
Fu Qi Hong, who hadn't even tasted the sweetness looked at his mother and then said to her, "There is no way she will agree to this and…what about Sister Zhi? She is the Crown Princess, isn't she?"
Fu Qi Hong knew that his Half sister was not just arrogant but also really obsessed with the throne. If not for the fact that Fu Zhi could never defeat their mother, she would have tried to rebel. Fu Qi Hong had no interest in the throne but that did not mean that he had no interest in Fu Zhi either, who was going to inherit the throne after his mother—— he knew everything about his sister and her actions.
Even though she was just the Crown Princess for now, Fu Zhi was really haughty and used her title to oppress others every now and then. This was when she was just the Crown Princess, and everyone could see that her eyes were set even higher as Fu Zhi wanted to make sure that no one would dare to even raise their eyes against her.
"I am aware of your sister and her actions," Fu Zhao said to Fu Qi Hong whose eyes widened in surprise. In the past, his mother had never stopped Fu Zhi which was why he thought that his mother was unaware of what Fu Zhi was doing. But it turned out that his mother knew it all along! She knew what Fu Zhi was up to.
But doesn't that mean that his mother was also aware of the little thoughts that his sister had in her mind?
Fu Zhao knew what Fu Qi Hong was thinking but she did not say anything. She simply smiled gently at him, how could she not know? She was the Empress who had her eye on everything and everyone.
It would be surprising if she did not know the little schemes that Fu Zhi was playing behind her back. The only reason she was watching Fu Zhi run amok was that her father had once saved her life. Even though he saved her life because he wanted to become the Emperor, he had earned a life-saving grace and Fu Zhao was not going to kill Fu Zhi unless she did something that stepped on her bottom line. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
