"Could it be that in the eyes of the empress, like those ministers, there must be a winner or loser between me and Prince Jin?" Rui Yi turned his head and asked half jokingly, half seriously.
Ziyu glanced at him disappointedly: "What your Majesty sees is victory or defeat - all I see is life and death."
Rui Yi said: "It's those people again who are gossiping in front of your Majesty..."
"I never believe the facts that others tell me in front of me," Ziyu interrupted him. He looked down and saw that the water in the bottle was already boiling. He added some water and said calmly, "How can a goshawk who is used to flying in the sky be willing to be a bird in a cage? King Jin is not such a person."
Rui Yi looked at her. The rising water vapor obscured his sight, making her blurry. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Empress... I am not the late emperor."
