* Genji's POV
Just as I had said before, Zhao state was extremely beautiful. They had potential to become the leading state among the other five states. Their people were hardworking. Both men and women. Everyday when I walked round the palace, I would be shocked to see that they were not idle at all. Not that the servants in other states were. From what Jixia told me, refining things were one of their main source of work.
And when you look at the things they made, you could just see the art behind it. But since my stay here, I have tried my best not to bump into Wu Ling's mother again. She was a cold and terrifying Queen Mother. The Queen Mother of Zhao.
But I did understand her worries but because I had been in that position before in Chu. And because I saw Fenghui as my son, I wanted to look out for him and protect him. In the end, he proved to be the mature one and died protecting me. That's why I was determined to make Wu Ling see that.
