Absolute Resonance

r a moment, and that was when it struck him.
He furtively glanced around before whispering softly, “Your Highness, are you referring to the throne ascension ceremony?” 

Ever since the old king had passed away, the young Little Emperor had been responsible for taking his place and eventually succeeding him.
But the fact was that he merely carried an empty title.
The true power was held by the Regent as the Little Emperor was merely a child.
Although the First Princess was cognizant of this fact, she was quite young too, and resisting the Regent was practically impossible at that point in time. 

As time passed, the Little Emperor grew older and the First Princess made a name for herself in the Xia Kingdom and the royal court with her achievements, increasing their factional strength over time.
This inevitably threw them into direct conflict and a power struggle against the Regent.

It was only natural as they sought to regain control and displace him. 

The Little Emperor's throne ascension ceremony would be the turning point where the Regent would accede power back to the throne.
Once this was completed, the Little Emperor would formally become the Emperor as well. 

Of course, whether or not the Regent was truly willing to hand over his authority was a separate question altogether.
The kingdom was rife with speculation, whether it was amongst the populace or the powers that be.

Everything going smoothly would be most ideal, but if anything happened, it would undoubtedly lead to startling changes within the kingdom.

Frankly speaking, this was of much more consequence compared to House Luolan's Housemeet.

The internal turmoil of a family could not compare to that of a kingdom.

As a result, Li Luo sympathized with the First Princess' concerns.
Furthermore, he was familiar with the Regent and how far reaching his strength and influence were.
This was basically the most powerful man in the Xia Kingdom bar none.
Additionally, it seemed as though the royal court had become increasingly tyrannical through his guidance.

From another point of view, perhaps the Regent was indeed suited to rule a kingdom.

However, the fact remained that the Little Emperor was the rightful heir.

Despite a tranquil look on the First Princess' beautiful face, her eyes were shrouded with an unfathomable deepness that seemed to contain immeasurable worry.

“Your Highness, there is no need to worry.
This was something the Regent promised to the entire Xia Kingdom long ago.
The Little Emperor is the true ruler, and there are many within the royal court that support him,” Li Luo said after a moment of thought.

The First Princess heaved a deep sigh.
“I hope for that too.
Uncle Regent has contributed greatly to the royal family, and I don't want things to end this way.” Li Luo nodded.
Things had definitely become complicated. 

With the First Princess' support, this would mean that House Luolan would also inevitably be branded as a supporter of theirs.
Whether or not he agreed with it no longer mattered because anyone else would think that way.
If that was the case, how would the Regent deal with them?

This realization caused Li Luo to heave a sigh of his own.
Clearly, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Unfortunately, there was no other way around it.
The First Princess had provided her assistance.
Who knew what the Regent was thinking anyway.

If House Luolan could not overcome this trial, there was no need to care about the Regent.
Li Luo would just have to slink back into the Astral Sage College and cultivate to the Duke Stage.
At that point, he would have his revenge and these enemies slinking in the dark shouldn't think of escaping. 

“I'll walk you out.” The First Princess did not continue to discuss the topic with Li Luo.
All of this was royal politics that should not involve outsiders.
If she had not decided to take a bet on him and Jiang Qing'e, she would never have shared so much about their internal situation. 

Li Luo nodded and was escorted out, directly heading back towards House Luolan.

Upon arriving home, he was greeted by good news.

The miracle paste concocted by Ox Biaobiao was finally completed.
