Wang Huaiqing also wanted to know from the emperor how much silver the Wei Dynasty would pay as compensation if Princess Yun Duo left.
Now it seems that he was totally overthinking it.
Not only will the Great Wei not pay compensation, but it will also confiscate his title as well.
How can this be?
He had originally longed for more, and he was already feeling frustrated that he got so little.
If it was less or nothing at all, he could have died together with the royal family. What else could he be planning?
Wang Huaiqing immediately said, "I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen. She always thought she could take a large amount of silver back with her."
"I came to the palace to stop her from having such thoughts. Uncle Emperor, please don't be offended. I will definitely control her in the future."
The emperor said, "That's right. But don't call me uncle from now on. The court officials may misunderstand you."
"You have to remember that greed is the key to success. The royal family has given you more than enough. If you still want something that doesn't belong to you, don't blame us, the Xiao family, for being cruel."
Wang Huaiqing's cheeks were stiff and he couldn't even force a smile.
He nodded his head, but his heart felt as if it was stabbed by thousands of knives.
Why can't he even think about it?
He had not originally intended to wipe out the entire Xiao family, but since the Xiao family did not want to recognize him, he would naturally draw a clear line between them and would have to fight for victory.
Let’s see who is cruel then.
Wang Huaiqing thought about it, a strange sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed in his deep pupils.
The emperor had been paying close attention to Wang Huaiqing's actions. Seeing that he looked gloomy and didn't know what he was thinking, his brows suddenly furrowed.
Zhou Dahai came in and reported, "Your Majesty, General Mu Lixin has arrived outside the city. He has sent a message for your instructions."
Mu Lixin?
The emperor and Wang Huaiqing were both shocked.
The two people looked at each other at the same time, but quickly looked away. Their eyes rolled around, each with their own thoughts.
Zhou Dahai was stunned. Could it be that Mu Lixin would never come back?
But the next moment, the emperor said, "Let him rest here and go into the city early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Dahai immediately sent someone to convey the order.
Wang Huaiqing also stood up to say goodbye, but when he turned around, the corners of his mouth were almost stretched behind his ears.
But he didn't notice that the emperor was staring at his back and smiling sinisterly.
Wang Huaiqing.
Mu Lixin.
Very good, now the plot is fuller again!!!
