Since she took the risk to come to the Federation, no matter what, she's determined to leave with someone.
She stared directly at Qin Cheng, waiting for his answer.
Qin Cheng was silent for two seconds, his body relaxed as if he had let out a breath.
"Alright."
He responded.
"I'll go with you to the Empire."
He's been thinking about her for many years, and now that he has the chance to be with her, why wouldn't he seize it?
As for the Federation...
Su Heyuan is quite capable, and being the second brother of his own son's wife, the throne still falls into the hands of his family. It seems he could retire as Your Majesty in peace.
He'll leave the mess behind to Su Heyuan.
Su Heyuan probably never expected things to develop in a completely different direction than he predicted.
His maneuvering not only failed to achieve its purpose but also let Qin Cheng leave with Lu Zhiya without any concerns.
