If Zu'an were here, he would surely find that these imperial guards all seemed to be unfamiliar faces.
At this moment, all the guards looked around warily, as if guarding against outsiders approaching.
Inside the main hall, Emperor Zhao Ruizhi was meeting with Bi Qi, the head of the Bi family, while all the palace maids and eunuchs were driven out.
If there were any outsiders here, they would be quite startled, because Zhao Ruizhi's eyes were gleaming with a sharp light, showing no sign of being foolish at all.
“The Venerable Wanzu has been exposed.” Biqi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and subconsciously frowned. This stuff is really bitter. He didn’t know why people liked to drink it so much.
Zhao Ruizhi snorted: "That guy is more trouble than he's worth."
“It’s no wonder, that Zuan guy is really powerful.” Biqi threw the teacup aside, looking disgusted.
“Fortunately, you were cautious enough not to let Venerable Wanzu know how to actually contact us.” Zhao Ruizhi leaned back, his eyes seeming to flash with two strange colors.
"Hmph, he was just a pawn, and now he has completed his mission and retired successfully." Bi Qi smiled, without a trace of regret on his face. "However, it is worth noting that Zu An has already rushed to the Jiang family. King Wu is there, and that fool is probably going to be in deep trouble."
“That’s perfect. According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, it seems that Zu’an killed a prince in the street before, causing quite a stir. It would be best if he killed the King of Wu this time as well, then we can have some fun.” Zhao Ruizhi’s chubby face had a strange look about it, completely unlike his usual foolish self.
“That’s right, he’d better kill the King of Wu. The bigger the commotion, the better. Then we can use the power of the entire empire to deal with him,” Biqi also smiled sinisterly. “Poor King Wu, that fool thinks he’s using us, but he doesn’t know he’s just a pathetic wretch.”
Zhao Ruizhi laughed as well: "That guy may be stupid, but he has a pretty wife."
"After that guy dies, won't his queen be ours?" Biqi and he exchanged a glance, both feeling that everything was going more and more smoothly.
"The Empress seems to have noticed something amiss; she no longer comes to pay her respects as she used to," Zhao Ruizhi said with some dissatisfaction.
Bi Qi smiled and said, "It's alright. I'll find some time to talk to her. After all, I'm her father."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruizhi shook his head slightly: "Many times, daughters will side with outsiders when they grow up. Besides, it's questionable whether she will even acknowledge you as her father now. In my opinion, it's better to completely integrate her into our family."
