Qiu Tianlin did not directly answer, instead counter-asking, "Amongst the many princes, who do you think His Majesty favors most now?"
Su Chengyu swallowed hard in disbelief, "Surely it cannot be Lin An, can it?"
Qiu Tianlin chuckled lightly, "Why not? Just because Lin An is a woman?"
Su Chengyu fell silent. If Bei Luo could have an Empress like Irina, why couldn't Xia Country have a female sovereign? Moreover, compared to Irina, Lin An was overwhelmingly more formidable.
But deep down, Su Chengyu still found it hard to accept this reality.
"Lin An isn't the only person His Majesty looks favorably upon, but even if Lin An does not succeed the throne in the future, she will undoubtedly be entrusted with a significant responsibility."
