Not to mention the other ministers, who all turned into wooden sculptures.
They knew that the emperor had completely gone mad.
How is this any different from giving the throne to Xiao Zhixing?
Some members of the Zhao clan looked grim; if it weren't for Zhao Zhong's stern warning gaze, they would have jumped up in protest on the spot.
