Zhao Jing thought for a moment.
"Did you tell Haiyan about the secret dealings between our Zhao family and the Kingdom of Wo?"
“Your son has followed your instructions carefully and has not revealed a single punctuation mark.”
"That's good! With Haiyan's big tongue, she found out the moment she heard it, and then she gave herself away. In the end, our whole family was executed by the Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, I am foolish and ignorant."
